(A/N): Okay, first things first.

Disclaimer: (sigh) Unfortunately I don't onw PotC, Jack Sparrow, Will or Elizabeth...nor anything that was in the movie. I don't onw any of it...(hey, I also didn't say that I didn't own it)

Now that I'm satisfied that I won't get into trouble with the 'House of Mouse' (grins devilishly at cunning "spelling errors" in disclaimer) I'd like to thank my very first reviewers!

CutthroatEthel... Tina... CrazyCanoeingGIT...and my pal, Pirate Wench : Thanks so much for the vote of confidence, and kind words! You guys have made my week sooooo much better! Lately I've actually woken up in a good mood and had a smile on my face all day! Oh! And Ethel, I know my chapters are kinda short but that's why I've been posting two in a row, and I'm working on makin' em longer...ok?

Now for a slight review of last chap.:

Whitting's voice steadily rose through anger.

(Ch. 3: She's lying luv)



"Will," Liz said.

"Yes, sweetheart?"

"I think...um"

"Yes?"

"Never mind," she said, deciding that the girl probably deserved the reprimanding for not making sure that the girl she was teaching was doing her job right. "She's lying luv." Startled by his sudden statement from behind her, she turned to look at Jack. "How do you know that?"

"She likes to annoy this Whitting character...and she doesn't seem the type not to check, and double check, a job that she's responsible for."

"So what are you saying?"

"I'm saying let's go give the lass a break. I'm sure that meeting the Governor's Daughter will thrill him out of his pretty, powered, wig wearing head," he commented, winking, a grin on his face. "Oh, alright. Come on Will." Will gave a bemused look and followed his wife, Jack trailing behind.

"...And further more...yes?"

"Yes, I couldn't help but notice you berating this young lady, and so I decided to see what the problem was," said Elizabeth politely.

"And you are?"

"Elizabeth Swann."

"Well Miss Swann, I don't believe that it is any of your...wait, the Governor's Daughter?!"

"Yes, that's correct."

"I am terribly sorry. My temper got out of hand for a minute."

"I should say so...Well, what are these girls doing here anyway?"

"They are going to be taken into these fine ladies homes," he gestured to the crowd, "and learn about life outside of the school."

"Really? Well it sounds like a good experience for them." Mr.Whitting looked from the crowd, to Alexandra, to Elizabeth. "Miss. Swann?" he asked.

"It's actually Mrs. Turner now, and yes?"

"If it wouldn't be too bold to ask, I was thinking that perhaps you could teach Alexandra to be more of a proper lady." Liz looked at Alexandra, who sighed and shrugged. It definitely didn't look like she didn't find the thought of being taught such things appealing, and Liz guessed that this girl was going to be a handful. Fortunately Jack would be able to handle her. Liz looked to Will, who nodded approval, then to Jack, who seemed totally entranced by the girl. 'I hope I'm not asking for trouble,' Liz thought.
