"Then he asked me to marry him!" Katherine sobbed, and took a drink of
her bottle of rum.
"Strange lil' thing isn't she?" Bootstrap whispered to Pearl, and then taking a drink out of his.
"You have no idea." Pearl whispered back.
"Bootstrap," Katherine turned towards him, "How the hell did you get out of the ocean?"
"Untied myself from the cannon and walked to the nearest island." Bootstrap shrugged.
"What island?" Katherine took a deep drink of her bottle, while still watching him.
"First it was Tourguta that's where I meet Pearl, and Davy, and then Port Royal." Bootstrap took another drink, Pearl almost choked on her drink, and Katherine just stared.
"You should've dropped in to say hi!" Katherine laughed, "I'm sure Mr. Turner would've been more than happy to see you."
"I think we need some more firewood." Bootstrap eyed the fire, which was perfectly burning high.
"No you don't." Pearl put her hand on his shoulder. "Why did you go to Port Royal?"
"I wanted first to go see Will, but then I saw Jack leave," He sighed, "I was in a rowboat, right by the Pearl really, and Jack threw two rings overboard, and one came in my boat."
"Why didn't you try to get on the Pearl?" Pearl asked, Katherine watching him with utter amazement.
"I did but was thrown overboard by it." Bootstrap looked out into the sea. "I went back to Tourtuga and then back to Port Royal. I gave Emma the ring, and tried to get aboard a ship, but then failed and ended up here."
"What did the ring looked like?" Pearl' eyes widened.
"Like that one." Bootstrap pointed to Katherine's ring. "Why?"
"That ring that you gave Emma, is why we're all here." Pearl sighed.
"Hey look a ship." Katherine pointed. "Isn't it pretty, look at those sails!" Bootstrap and Pearl rolled their eye that was the twentieth time Katherine had seen a ship. "No really look." They both looked. To their amazement, it wasn't Katherine being drunk there was really a ship there.
"Father I swear Katherine and Jack's daughter were thrown overboard." Emma sighed.
"Where?" Will finally giving up.
"Somewhere by an island," Emma looked around and spotted the island. "That one!"
"There's a fire on the island captain!" One of the pirates rang out. "Ship's gone, but I think theirs people on the island!"
"Jack." Will nodded at the island. Sparrow looked at it. It was the island that he was marooned on.
"Get a boat ready!" Sparrow shouted at the crew. "Me and Jack are going to the island." Will looked at him with an eyebrow raised. "Sorry mate I would take you, but its not Elizabeth." Sparrow patted Will on the shoulder. Jack looked at his father and nodded his exit.
"Mother's fine." Emma whispered to her father, "She's going to be fine." Will smiled. Emma walked away, and she smiled. She was going to see Katherine, but Jack was going to take up his time with her, oh well. Emma went down to Norrington's cabin, and was about to knock when Jane walked out. She seemed mad. "I'm sorry."
"Quite all right, dear." Jane huffed. Emma looked confused. Usually pirates don't say quite or dear. Emma peaked inside the room.
"Um... Commodore Norington," Emma walked in the room, Norrington sat in a chair and looked rather please with himself, "They're going to get Katherine."
"They found her?" Norrington got up.
"Yes, she's on an island." Emma smiled, "They're going to get her right now." Norrington walked past Emma, and murmured thanks, and was gone. Emma turned to see Davy. She looked down. "They found Katherine."
"I heard." Davy sighed. "Emma..."
"Yes?" Emma's heart began to race.
"Hello friends!" Jessy came walking by, "Heard the found Katherine! Exciting isn't it?" Davy scowled at her. Jessy just smiled, and walked away.
"I should get her bed ready." Emma sighed, and walked away. Davy nodded, and hit the wall with his fist silently.
"DAD!" Pearl yelled as she saw Sparrow row onto the shore of the island. She went and ran into his arms. "Surprise you came to get me so late!"
"Hard to find a crew nowadays." Sparrow smiled, and let go his daughter.
"Jack!" Katherine slurred and threw her arms up.
"Better go get her otherwise she wont be walking for a long time." Pearl whispered to Jack, although he was going to get her and carry her to the boat anyway. Hurt or not. He went and picked her up. Sparrow looked at his old friend.
"Miss me?" Bootstrap smiled.
"Thought you were dead." Sparrow still stared. "Will's on board."
"Figured as much." Bootstrap shrugged. They all came into the boat, and Jack carried the crying Katherine. They went back to the ship.
"Katherine!" Norrington helped Jack and Katherine come onto the ship. "What happened to her?"
"Got whipped before." Pearl shrugged.
"I told you there was a ship." Katherine stuck her tongue out at Pearl.
"Katherine Mary Norrington!" Norrington scowled.
"She had a bottle of rum too." Pearl suggested.
"Pearl!" Davy yelled from the entryway of the cabins. He came over. "Thought you be dead."
"Never, mate." Pearl punched her brother on the shoulder.
"Pearl!" Jessy came running towards her, and Pearl caught her and hugged her.
"Where's your mom?" Pearl asked. Jessy pointed to where Jane was watching. Pearl walked over to her. She seemed to be crying. "Thought you would be happy to see your daughter."
"I am." Jane smiled. "She's so much older now." Jane watched as Norrington and Jack took Katherine down to the cabins. Jane wiped away a tear. "I had no right to do what I did."
"You're a pirate, can't blame you." Pearl shrugged.
"If I could change the past I would." Jane sighed.
"No use crying over spilled milk." Pearl sighed, and she walked back to Bootstrap. "Will someone I want you to meet!" Will came down from the steering wheel. "Bootstrap, Will, Will, Bootstrap." They stared at each other for a long time. Pearl just stood there waiting for someone to talk.
"You gave Emma the ring." Will quietly said. Pearl walked away slowly.
"Thought it was a nice gift." Bootstrap shrugged. "Didn't know what would happen if I gave it to her. Been out of the business for a while."
"Where have you been?" Will asked.
"Here, there not sure where my place was." Bootstrap sighed. "As soon as Jack gets his ship back I'll be sailing with him. Heard that Elizabeth is on the Pearl. Sorry to hear that."
"You know Elizabeth?" Will looked puzzled at the thought that his father knew her.
"Told you, I've here and there." Bootstrap smiled.
"Father, Captain Sparrow says he needs you to tie the ropes firmly together, he feels another storm coming?" Emma came over and looked at father, and then Bootstrap. "Hello, I'm Emma Turner." She stuck out her hand. Bootstrap looked at Will, and Will looked down at his daughter.
"Bootstrap Bill." He grabbed his granddaughter's hand and shook it lightly.
"I'll be right there Emma." Will nodded, and Emma backed away looking still between them.
"You didn't tell her?" Bootstrap's eyebrow went up. Will shook his head and walked away.
"Strange lil' thing isn't she?" Bootstrap whispered to Pearl, and then taking a drink out of his.
"You have no idea." Pearl whispered back.
"Bootstrap," Katherine turned towards him, "How the hell did you get out of the ocean?"
