Dislcaimer: I don't own POTC.
(The next scene is a social at the Governors mansion. We see a large, long and beautifully decorated room with strings of white lights wound around large columns of pink marble. There is a makeshift stage at one end of the room with a large red curtain strung across. There are tables with pink tablecloths to match the pink marble in the room. There are tall wide candles in the middle of each table. People are dancing and some are on the sidelines talking, while yet others are sitting at the tables. Will is sitting at one of these tables hunched over, lost in thought. Elizabeth is near by talking with her father and some of the guests. We also see Captain Norrington who is leaning against a wall, watching Will intently. Norrington fingers the sword at his side and stares at Elizabeth and then back to Will. He starts walking towards Will purposefully. When Norrington reaches Will, Will doesn't immediately look up at him as he is still lost in thought, and Norrington pauses for a moment before saying anything.)
Norrington: Your thinking awfully hard Mr. Turner. Is everything alright? (Sounding more like he's digging for infomation than if he were concerned.)
Will: (Looking up suddenly) Yes, everything is fine. Just thinking. (Will smiles slightly.)
Norrington:(Looking frustrated) I know your hiding something Will. I will find out what it is....be sure of that.
(Will looks after Norrington with a confused look as Norrington turns and tries to walk away in an overly dramatic huff but instead he almost knocks Elizabeth to the floor. Will immediatly stands up to see if she is alright.)
Norrington: Elizabeth, I'm so sorry. Are you alright?
Elizabeth: Commodore, I'm fine. Thank you.
Will: Elizabeth... (Elizabeth cuts him off.)
Elizabeth: Will, I'm fine.
(Norrington looks at Will with a disgusted look on his face and tries once more to be overly dramatic about his departure.)
Elizabeth: What was all that about?
Will: I'm not sure.
Elizabeth: Will, you've been acting strange lately. What's wrong.
Will: I'VE been acting strange?
(Will and Elizabeth both look after Norrington and laugh. Elizabeth turns back to Will with a concerned look on her face. Will obviously isn't going to sway her from his strange behavior with distractions. Elizabeth isn't able to say anything however because the Governor is trying to get everyone's attention. Will lets out a sigh of relief.)
Governor Swann: We have some entertainment tonight that is about to being.
(Everyone starts clapping and gets quiet. Norrington is once again fingering the sword at his side. Norrington looks to Governor Swann who is trying to stall while the actors get ready. As if a light went on inside his head, Norrington suddenly gets an idea and immediately gets up from his seat and goes to the front of the room where the Governor is.)
Norrington: Ladies and Gentlemen. I'd like a vote from you. Who would like to see a real fight?
(Norrington pulls out his sword and examines it. The men in the room give their shouts of praise as well as a few women. Norrinton looks pleased at the response and looks towards Will who isn't paying any attention.)
Norrington: Well then, a real fight it shall be!
Governor Swann: Commodore. What is in your head?
(Ignoring the Governors complaints he starts making his way across the room to where Will is. Norrington Swings his sword around and points it in Wills face.)
Norrington: Will you accept the challenge?
( Will looks around and then at Elizabeth who has her eyes raised seemingly waiting for his response. Will rolls his eyes and smiles. Shaking his head he stands up and pulls out his sword. The room erupts in shouts. Some yelling for the Commodore some yelling for Will. Elizabeth is standing on her chair cheering them on. Governor Swann hides his face in his hands and shakes his head. Norrington and Will dance around the room knocking tables and chairs over. The crowd stumbles over each other as they try and stay out of the way.)
Norrington: How about we make a deal Will? (Norrington breathes ducking from Will's sword.)
Will: What's kind of deal?
Norrington: If I win, you give up Jack Sparrow. If you win....I'll never kill another pirate without your consent.
(Will laughs.)
Will: (After a moment of sword play and pondering) First of all, (Will breaths as he jumps on a table) It's CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow. (Will does a back flip off the table and Norrington gives chase.) Secondly, (Will smiles and cocks his head to the side.) I'm going to win!
Norrington: Your only half pirate boy. I have the training of a military officer!
(Will just shakes his head and smiles. After a few more minutes of dancing around the room the fight ends with Norrington suffering a scratch on his cheek. Both men are breathing heavily as Governor Swann approaches them. Norrington has a disappointed expression on his face and Will stares at Norrington with a look of accomplishment. Elizabeth runs and hugs Will. Governor Swann looks outrages and can't seem to get words out. Will sticks out his hand to Norrington.)
Will: Deal.
(Norrington looks annoyed but takes his hand. After the crowd calms down Governor Swann lets out his steam.)
Governor Swann: I hope you two are proud. Elizabeth...you could have stopped this embarrassing display.
Elizabeth: I think everyone rather enjoyed themselves father! I know I did.
(Governor Swann looks incredulous at Elizabeth. He can't think of anything to say to her remark and he looks like he is about to blow a gasket. He turns to Norrington...)
Governor Swann: Commodore, I would have expected you to be higher than this.
(The Governor looks at Will. Will looks confused and hurt at that comment and Elizabeth and Norrington both see it.)
Governor Swann: I certainly hope the towns people will hold you in the same respect after this apparent display of jealously commodore.
(Governor Swann stomps away angrily. Norrington looks hurt as he stares after Governor Swann. End Scene)
