Disclaimer: Still no sign of Jack Sparrow for my half-eaten Easter egg, ah
well. So this still means I still don't own anything, but I don't think
good ol' Mickey would mind me commandeering Captain Jack for a while, would
he?
***********************************************************************
Jack buried his head in his hands, how many had Will had? One, two? He was already flat out. He sighed and yanked his up by his arm. "I knew you wouldn't be able to hold your drink Turner, but this is ridiculous!" Jack was barely getting into the swing of things and he had to leave already! Jack shook his head and tutted "What's Miss Swann gonna say when I get you back?" Jack frowned "Or should that be Mrs. Turner?" Jack's heart dropped at the very thought. Surely her and Will had got married, why would he care anyway? They make a good couple, yes, a very good couple..... "Oh shut up Sparrow" Jack mumbled to himself. He dragged Will into a carriage and climbed in himself. "Guvner's house mate"
Elizabeth looked out of the window and saw a horse and carriage pull up. Jack jumped out and pulled down his coat. Elizabeth grinned, Jack always made her happy. He reached into the carriage and pulled out a man. Elizabeth frowned. He dragged him up to the door and Elizabeth heard it swing open.
"Honey I'm home!"
Elizabeth ran down the stairs to find Will flat out on the floor and Jack standing over him looking quite baffled.
"I've never known a boy like it!" Jack exclaimed "Two drinks and he's gone!" He looked straight at Elizabeth "Even you lasted longer then that!"
"Let's get him upstairs then"
"Oh, do I have to? I carried him all the way here!" Jack moaned.
"No you didn't, you got a horse and carriage, lier"
"Well, it was worth a try love" Jack smiled as he pulled Will onto his feet and over his shoulder. "Back in a second darling" He took Will all the way upstairs; and Elizabeth was quite surprised that he did so, he must be stronger then she imagined. After a couple of minutes Jack emerged from Will's bedroom looking quite pleased with himself.
"Why are you so smug?" Elizabeth asked.
"No reason"
"Yeah right, like I'm going to believe you"
"Have I ever gave you any reason not to trust me?"
Elizabeth searched her mind for a time when Jack had let her down, surly there must have been one time? "No" Elizabeth frowned "Surprisingly not"
"Surprisingly? What's that supposed to mean?"
Elizabeth racked her brain again to try and come up with an answer, but still couldn't think of one. "You know what? I don't know"
"So," Jack began "How have you been?"
"Good, yeah, just great" Elizabeth nodded.
"And what about your hubbie up there?"
"What hubbie?" Elizabeth frowned.
"You know, Will, about yeah-high, whelp-looking, eunuch, big nose......no?"
Elizabeth looked down and sighed.
"Oh! I'm sorry darling" Jack apologized as he clicked on "He didn't marry you then?"
Elizabeth shook her head.
Jack felt his heart rise up into his mouth, he wanted to jump for joy, but he wasn't quite sure why. 'She ain't married!' Jack thought 'But why would that concern me?' "If you're asking me darling, it's his loss" Jack said as he put an arm around Elizabeth's shoulder. Elizabeth glared at his hand, so Jack yanked it away. "Sorry, too close, right?"
Elizabeth walked away and began to explain what happened "We didn't even get engaged, it's like he didn't even love me at all. So, in a way we're sort of going out, but we're not really, you know?"
Jack scratched his head "Just about, yeah. So, you're single then?"
Elizabeth sighed "Yes, I suppose I am"
"What about Commodore? Has he like, come onto you again?"
"What are you trying to insinuate Jack?"
"CAPTAIN Jack" Jack coughed. "Darling, remember?"
"That's Miss Swann to you, Jack? Remember?" Elizabeth mocked
"Here's a deal, the day you start calling me Captain, is the day I start calling you Miss Swann, savvy?"
"I think we have an accord" Elizabeth smiled as she outstretched her hand "Captain"
"I think we do" Jack smiled back as he shook Elizabeth's hand "Elizabeth"
