Pretty Vacant: Yes, I went to the movie just to see Johnny. I don't like Orlando.not in the least.

FrannieGurl2006: Yes..ye will see what I do with my fic..I have somewhat of a plot developing, but I'm basically writing chapter to chapter. I can tell you, though, that it will be probably 20 chapters+. I am trying to lengthen this out. This will be my biggest fanfic as of yet!

Dark-Star & Nicole297: Thankies! I am actually surprised I got anybody in character.... Besides the fact that my friends who have seen the movie say I am a walking talking Jack Sparrow as a woman, I actually have to think a little every quote. Which is why, I may or may not update on a schedule. I am trying to though......=)

Let the fic begin!!

*The next day*

It was a bright and sunny afternoon as the Black Pearl sailed onward.

"Crew, turn the sails 20 degrees Northwest!" Jack yelled. 'A natural-born captain an' proud of it...' he thought to himself. "Ana Maria, pull in the oars. Ye there, man," he said, pointing to another member of the ship, "ye pull the riggin' tight. It's goin' teh get very windy 'ere." He ordered, putting his finger into his his mouth. "Rum....it still tastes like rum.." He then put his finger into the air. "As luck will 'ave it, mates, we 'ave a VERY strong gale right 'ere. You might want teh 'old on teh yer hats." He explained, taking off his hat and putting it in his jacket.

"Jack, what shall I do?" Will asked the captain, who didn't notice him. So he tapped on his shoulder and asked again. "Captain, what shall I do?"

"Did someone say me name? Oh, it's ye, mate....yea, help Ana Maria an' pull the sails up all the way. When ya're done wit' that, tie the riggin' down. Ye do know how teh do that, right?"

"I believe so, sir."

"No need teh call me sir, although I like yer sudden gain of respect. Can ye cook, Will?"

"I can prepare meat, if that's what you're looking for. I can also bake bread.."

"Ye 'ad me a' the meat...go wit' the chef when ya're done," he said, pointing at the chef, "an' make sure the meat is actually edible."

"Will do, captain."

Soon, the Black Pearl was going at a steady pace northwest. The waves slowly started to grow higher as they moved on and on, getting a little faster every mile. Jack was busy giving orders, when....

"Cap'n, these waves...tey're gettin' pretty high...an' it looks like ah storm 'tis comin' in. Cap'n, wha' do ya say?"

"I say man the dacks an' gt ready for one hell o' a time!" Jack shouted,

Within minutes thunder started to sound and lightning crackled. The rain pored down in sheets and the wind blew in torrents. The ship rocked back and forth violently.

"Man the rigs! Secure the mast! Put down the sails, an' take out the oars!" Jack yelled over the storm. "I want a man teh ev'ry one!"

"Aye cap'n!" yelled the crew back to Jack. The storm was getting stronger.

"Cap'n, I think 'tis a typhoon!"

"Really? I only though it 'twas a light shower...o' course I know it's a typhoon! What do ye think I am, stupid?" he looked at the crew member, "Wait,don't answer that one....." he hastily added just as the man was about to speak. "Keep rowin'! Put all yer strength into it! An' hold on teh yer skivvies, mates!" he said quickly as the boat nearly tipped over.

On rowed the Black Pearl and its crew, when suddenly, the storm just...stopped.

"The eye of the storm..." said both Will and Jack at the same time. Jack looked at Will.

"Ye do know yer stuff." he told Will with a hearty slap on the back that nearly tipped Will overboard. "Oops," he said, "Y'know, sometimes me strength just gets the better o' me when I'm drunk.." and smiled.

"Which is always, right?"

"Hey....ye hit below the belt there..."

"Hello...pirate!" Will said, waving his hands over his head.

"Firs' ye insult me, now ye steal my words...I swear, if it weren't for the fact that yer one o' me crew, I swear..."

"You swear what?"

"I swear..I swear...actually...come teh think o' it, I dunno what I swear. Ev'ryone shuts up aft'r the 'I swear' part.... Good job, mate, now ye've gone an' made me think...just great boy.."

"Glad to be of service to you, 'cap'n'.." Will said with a smirk on his face. Jack stuck out his tongue at Will, then proceeded to go up to the crew.

"Stop the boat an' take a rest now...and grab some o' the rum.." he said, gesturing to the barrels off to the side. "Take a cup an' down it! We're goin' teh be 'ere for a while..." This was followed by cheers of joy and sounds of rushing as everyone scrambled to get a tankard or two of liquor. Only William remained.

"C'mon boy, grow some 'air on yer chest! Drink up!" said one pirate to Will.

"I don't drink much!"

"Sure ye do, boy!" said Jack as he poured the flagon down Will's throat. "Drink up!" Will licked his lips and burped.

"I..think I shall get some more *hic*. See ya Jacko!" And with that, he rushed off to fight for another glass.

"Still like that name....." he said, when someone tapped him on his back. "What is it now mate..." he asked as he turned around, only to see Ana Maria there instead.

"Cap'n, we're moving..."

"What do ye mean 'we're moving?' "

"I mean we're moving 'round the edge o' the eye, look yourself." Jack walked to the railing. Sure enough, they were rotating counter-clockwise around the eye.

"What in the name o'..." he was about to finish, when he spotted something far off in the distance. A circle, in the middle of the eye, black as night, rotating around, slowly growing in size. A soft roar was heard in the distance. "Whirl pool.." said jack to himself. "Whirlpool!"

"Whirlpool?" asked Will.

"Somethin' ye do not want teh be on the wrong sie o'..no, scrap that, somethin' ye don't want to be near teh at ALL.." he said with a look of surprise and a slight hint of fear on his face as he ran up to the helm.

"Ok mates, change o' plan. BIG change o' plan..." yelled Jack to the crew, no longer yelling above the storm, but rather the deafening roar of the whirlpool. "Man yer places, take in the oars, take down the sails, tie down EVERYTHING. Ye, love," he said, pointing to Ana Maria, "take some men an' get out ev'ry anchor on this side o' the ship. Secure 'em...as in bolt 'em chains down..." he said hintfully to her; she got the hint and took off. "When I give the command, take out the oars in the front only, and ROW. I wan' two men teh each one!" He looked at Will, Ana Maria, and the other men. "Ana Maria, Will, an' ye four, when they start rowin', put up th sails again. This should get us goin', mates..."

The crew quickly followed their captain's instructions. Anchors were tossed, and soon enough there was nearly a ton of pull on te ship's right side. They were now around 300 feet from the mouth of the whirlpool. But.....

"Cap'n, she's still movin'!"

"Now!! Take out the oars an' row! Put up the sails! Move it!" he shouted, as he helped put up the sails, climbing up the mast like a monkey to secure them. They started rowing for their lives; Ana Maria, William, and the other men had put up the sails and hurried downstairs to help row. Jack went back to the helm and started veered the rudders up and towards the top of the pool, when....

SNAP! SNAP!

"What in blazes just happened?!" asked Will, as one of the went up and told Jack.

"Cap'n, two of our oars jus' broke' off!"

SNAP! SNAP!

"Make that.." he started to say as he put up his fingers and started counting.

"Four...four oars, Surry." Jack said as he patted him up the back. "Great.....just great....why must it always be my ship?" he said as he sighed. "Keep rowing!! Don't stop jus' 'cause a couple o' 'em broke off...."

SNAP, SNAP, CHINNNKKK....

"That doesn't sound good....." he said as he went to the railing. Will got up and followed. Sure enough, the anchor chain had broke off of one of them. The ship lurched more toward the vortex.

KACHINK KACHINK KACHINK SNAP SNAP.....

"The pressure's too much, Jack!" Will yelled. They're just snapping off like fence planks!"

RIIIIPPPPPP

"An' there went one o' the sails...great..." said Jack, then went back towards the rest of the crew. "New plan, yet again! This boat is goin' down. Abandon ship!" he yelled, as the crew ran to the railing, dived, and swam for it. Will, Jack, and Ana Maria stayed behind.

"What about you, Jack? Aren't you going to.." Will started to say.

"A cap'n goes down wit' 'is ship." Ana Maria said solemnly, with a drip of sorrow to her voice.

"Yea, what she said, " Jack replied, pointing his finger wavily at her. "Ye better get goin' Don't worry, we'll see each ot'er again. I'll come back as a butterfly 'r whatnot." he said, flapping his hands up and down in the air somewhat comicly, as if in vain trying to lighten the mood. He shook hand with Will. "It 'twas nice knowin' ye mate," and bowed. He went up to Ana Maria, and instead of shaking hands, gave her a giant of a hug. "Don't forget me, love.." and planted a kiss on her lips softly. Both Will and Ana stood there, shocked and full of sadness, but with a hint of determination in their eyes.

"We're not leaving, Jack." Will said.

"C'mon, mate, ye an' Ana 'ave lives teh lead, a world teh see. Me, I've been 'round the world an' back. I've led a lifetime.

Will stared at Jack, astonished by the words he had said. How could this drunken, staggering, pirate be so affectionate, so emotional? He always was puzzled by Jack. And maybe he would learn more about him in the afterlife. He would stay with Jack until the end.

Ana Maria pressed her fingers to her lips. How dare he? 'But..you liked it....you wish he'd never have to leave, that he could be with you forever.' a voice inside her head replied. Forever...it ringed in her ears. Yes, she would stay with him forever, by his side.

"No, I'm not leaving," replied Will determinedely.

"Me neither," said Ana Maria.

"Ah well......I tryed," Jack said, putting on a pathetic smile on his face. " 'tis yer funeral." He sighed, and sat down next to the wheel of his ship. He then started humming his favorite tune. "......We pillage and plunder, we rifle and loot, drink up me hearties, yo ho. We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot, drink up me hearties, yo ho.." he started as Ana Maria joined in. "...We extort and pilfer, we filch and sack, drink up me hearties, yo ho. Maraud and embezzle and even highjack, drink up me hearties, yo ho......" they continued, as Will, not knowing the words, now joined in with what he did. ".........Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me. Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me...." the trio sang. The sails completely gone, the anchors and oars sapped off, The Black Pearl was on its final voyage as she swirled around , around, around, and then...

.....The ship was sucked in and dissappeared off the face of the earth. And that is when Elizabeth woke up.

"Wake up, miss," said Ana Maria. "Cap'n told me teh give ye these," she threw some clothes at her. " 'e also said to report on deck."

"It was all a dream..." she whispered.

"What was?" Ana asked.

"Nothing.....nothing..." she said quickly.

"Oh well...see ye on deck.." she said and left.
