Elizabeth Swann and William Turner locked their lips together and held themselves together in the long warm embrace...and, clutching their arms to each other's backs, they too dived forward and over the wall.

Down they fell, faster and faster, until they hit the water's surface. Quickly, they swam back toward the cool salty air.....only to see The Black Pearl rowing off into the horizon. Will and Elizabeth swam towards them, when the Black Pearl stopped, as if it was waiting..waiting for something...but what?.

They swam even faster, 'til they neared the helm of the ship....only to be greeted by a familiar hand extending towards them in warm greetings.

"Knew ye'd be back, luv," said Captain Jack Sparrow of the Black Pearl, pulling up Miss Swann onto the deck of the ship......when...WHAM!

"I don't think I deserved that..." Jack replied, clutching his cheek in mock pain.

They were soon accompanied by William, who was soaking wet, climbing over the railing, with an amazingly envious look on his face.

"Gettin' jealous, eh lover boy?" said Jack, snickering menacingly. "From the moment I saw ye, I knew ye two would get together....like monkeys in a coconut tree..."

WHAM!

"Ok, I deserved that..." said the wavering captain. "C'mon luv, just because I said we wouldn't make a good couple doesn't mean..." Jack stopped, for her hand was raised once again. "Okay, okay, I'll shut up, won't I, right mate?" he said, only seeing Will's glowering face in return. "Okay Will...don't do anythin' stup...I mean....no, I think I will be quiet now..."

"That has to be the smartest thing you've said yet," Will says, a grin slowly coming to his face.

"I agree," replied Elizabeth.

"It must be the rum talking....yes...it's the bloody rum. Ye know, ever since I saw it burnin' like that there on that god-forsaken isle, I couldn't help drinkin' a little more...to save it, ye know...just in case our maid'n decides to go fire-happy again."

WHA.......only to be stopped by Jack's hand holding up her arm.

"That'll be enough of that, miss." he said, "I don't want a bruise formin' there in the mornin'."

"Anyways, what made you wait? You could have just left us out in the middle of the ocean..." Will asked. Although he never had nay liking towards pirates in the past, finding out that his father was the famous 'Bootstrap Bill', he found himself fascinated more and more by these rogues of the sea. Especially Jask, always unpredictable, dishonest, and cunning, yet extremely intelligent and charming. Jack made Will think; and he had to think, for being a pirate was not an easy task.

"Yea mate, I could've. But I didn't. I thought ya've known me by now Will....."

"You're off by a long shot, Jacko..."

"Jacko, eh mate? I like that name....hmm...Jacko." said Jack, hand caressing his chin in deep thought. "But, what was I sayin'? Aye..yes.....I didn't because I knew you'd come back."

"How?" Will said; he was getting more and more impatient with every passing second.

"Stop interruptin' me mate, and I will tell you. You've the blood in you; you're bound to come back. Plus, you just saved me from my death, and that warrants two things." He said.

"And those would be?"

"First off, you did that, so you're obviously are very loyal or very stupid, and ye'd rather be on The Pearl tha' on land." Jack said, then paused, and looked toward Will. Will said nothing. "Good, I was expectin' you to interrupt again..." at which he recieved a scowl from William. "Testy, aren't we? Anyway, and second, rescuin' the notorious Cap'n Jack Sparrow," he pointed towards himself, "will definitely kick one's reputation in 'high society' up the rear an' back. You wouldn't have a job, maybe a life, there anymore. Y'know, mate, you didn't need to rescue me anyhow. I am capable of getting myself out of a hightide..."

"That is a bold-faced lie and you know it."

"Whoev'r said I was honest?"

"You could not have saved yourself from that noose."

"I would've figured it out..."

"After you were dead and staring striahgt down at you body, that is."

"You think highly of me, don't you?"

"Yes....I worship you like a god."

"Good then. I, Cap'n Jack Sparrow of The Black Pearl, hereby welcome you and Miss Swann to my crew." said he, before taking an elaborate, swaggering bow.

"Nice to be aboard."

"Finally.....you men have stopped bickering. Thank you, Jack, for welcoming us, and the little bow was not so bad either." said Elizabeth, earning a genuine smile from Jack and a envous blush from William. A few people whistled behind her. She turned around, looking to see what was the matter, and earned more whistling from the crew, an highly amused smirk from Jack, and a mixed look of embarrassment, shock, and a load of other things from Will.

"Your welcome, love, but perhaps I should have Ana Maria take you to quarters." Jack said hastily, but still amused, calling Ana Maria over.

"What ever do you mean...." said Elizabeth, as she look down and realized she was in soaking wet undergarments that werewhite and sheer as a ghost. "Oh...." she squeaked, and hurredly allowed Ana Maria to wrap her jacket around her, scowl at the crew, and escort her to their room.

"As for you, mate, you might also want to dry off your clothes...that feather on your hat is wet and droopin'." Jack said, pushing the feather up with his finger, and earning a few snickers from the crew. Will walked towards his quarters as well.

"The rest of you, back to your stations! An' don't think they'll get off easy....they're pirates now, we'll treat them like pirates!" Jack growled.

"Aye!" said the rest of the crew as they went back to work.

Jack went back to the wheel where he originally was at, took out his compass, and started to steer with one hand.

"Welcome to The Pearl, mates...." he said to no one in particualr softly, and resumed singing his pirate tune.

And the ship veered off into the sunset........
