Jen woke to find a beam of sunlight shining directly over her eyes. Groaning, she put her arm over her eyes and rolled over, expecting to find warmth huddling against Jack. Instead, she found an empty cavern in the middle of the bed. Confused but determined not to open her eyes, Jen pulled the covers tighter around her.
"Jen." Ordered a voice. Jen moaned.
"Go away." She muttered, squeezing her eyes shut tighter. Jen felt the bed shift as a weight settled on the bottom.
"Up and at 'em, luv. We're gonna' go visit the Turners again." Whispered Jack.
"Noooo." Jen pleaded. As much as she loved Will and Elizabeth, it was too early to go visiting. She got up with the sun on the Pearl, but on the island it seemed like the sun rose earlier. It couldn't be past seven.
"C'mon, Jen." Jack ordered.
"What time is it?" Asked Jen groggily, slowly getting up. Jack grinned.
"Ten o'clock in the afternoon. I let you sleep all morning. And here I am, all by me onesies watching you sleep. I need merry company. The Turners' will be up!" Jen flopped back down, groaning again.
"Go and visit. I'll be all right." She said quietly, hoping to drift off. And then Jack used his secret weapon. His lips brushed up her bare arm. Jen shivered, putting her arm under the covers.
"No!" She said futilely. The lips came back, at the base of her neck, gentle and soft. Jen moaned, the blood in her veins surging. Angry but secretly thrilled, Jen sat up. Jack grinned like the devil he is and got up off the bed, his work done. Jen swung her feet out of the bed. Jack offered her his hand, and she let him pull her up. He silently handed her one of her dresses, which she pulled on. She let Jack tie up the back. Finally, they were ready to leave. Jack planted one last kiss on Jen's lips before they opened the door and walked down the stairs of the inn. Things took an interesting turn of events when they reached the Turners. They stood on the porch, Jen raised her hand to knock. Before her knuckle even touched the door, it flew open and Elizabeth grabbed the two of them and pulled them inside. Her eyes shone with excitement.
"My father is having a party for Will and I tonight. We forgot to mention it yesterday. But will you please come? It would mean so much to us if you would!" Elizabeth gushed. Jen and Jack looked somewhat taken back. Jen bit her lip. How could she put this delicately?"
"Um...Elizabeth, do you remember how Jack took me from the altar and left him there, then fought with him. I don't think we'll get along that well." Jen said carefully. Elizabeth's smile didn't waver.
"It'll be a big party! Don't worry! He won't even know you're there." Jen grimaced.
"Elizabeth...we can't...we don't have anything to wear." Jen added, motioning to her and Jack's clothes, faded and worn from life on the sea. Jack shook his head frantically.
"No. No parties like this for me. I don't want to 'ave to act all gentlemanly!" Jack said, backing away with his hands up. Elizabeth grabbed Jen's hand.
"I can lend you a dress! We're the same size! It'll be wonderful! Come on, we'll go and pick one out!" Elizabeth said excitedly, rushing up the stairs, motioning for Jen to follow.
"One minute!" She called cheerfully. She turned to Jack and looked him straight in the eye.
"If I'm not by eleven, come get me." She ordered in a deadly serious if-you-don't-do-this-you-may-not-wake-up voice. Jack nodded, and when she turned away grinned.
MEANWHILE....
"Elizabeth will no doubt invite the Captain and this...girl that has shown up with him. Another Tortuga wretch, I suppose."
"No, sir." Sputtered the man behind him, the informant.
"What? Spit it out!" Ordered the first man.
"I believe she is Jennifer Lanyen, the girl who disappeared from her wedding over a year ago." A cruel smile lit the first man's face.
"So her family is still in town. And she is the one who left Swann at the altar. Interesting...this might play out to my advantage."
