A/n: Okay, now I'm in a complete dilemma. Some people want the author's notes and others don't so…er…I guess I'll be going. ;_; *sobs* I do not own nor ever will Pirates of the Caribbean and since I am a poor (REALLY POOR) fic writer I stand to make no profit from this story ;_;.

"There you go! You've got it!" Mrs. Callahan smiles at you from the huge clearing in the centre of her house. She's teaching you how to dance! Now, if only you could find some way to get Jack out here…

"Dearie me, I do wish we had a man here, for you to dance with," she says with a look of sadness in her eyes. Your interest peaks.

"Would it matter who he was?" you ask. She smiles.

"Of course not, as long as he can walk, he's fine with me," she says happily. You jump.

"Just wait right here!" you smile and run to the door. On your way out you grasp the round box and race back to the Pearl.

"Jack! Jack!" you sing-song.

"Aye?" he responds.

"I found the most wonderful old lady! You've got to come with me! And I got you a new hat," you say enthusiastically and hand him the box. He looks at you oddly, opens the box, and removes the hat. It's black with a golden thin weave around the edge, shaped just like his old one, but with black and white feathers.

"I love it," he says and kisses you, placing the hat on his head, "Now what were ye sayin' about the old lady?"

"Just come with me, okay? Trust me," you say and grab his hand.

"I already do luv" he smiles. You smile serenely and feel elated.

In Mrs. Callahan's house, she looks over Jack but smiles. He smiles confusedly and looks at you. You grasp his hand again and place your head on his arm.

"Well, I can work with him," she smiles "First; you put your hands on her hips."

"Jack" he says and does what she says. You giggle. She places your hands wrapped around his neck, lifting your chin to look into his eyes, and she takes his hat.

"Hey" Jack complains. You kiss him quickly before she turns back around. He smiles and his patience seems to stretch out a little bit longer as Mrs. Callahan teaches you to dance. Okay, maybe he steps on your feet a little bit and he can't exactly get the last 5-6-7-8 but what is a man without flaws?

~¤~

You both step into the sunshine after graciously thanking Mrs. Callahan for the lessons and head through town to Elizabeth's house. No one mistakes you for being a whore in your brand new dress, a flatteringly low cut emerald coloured long edged beautiful piece of art work. When Elizabeth spots you she rushes outside and makes you twirl. You comply. Jack sighs and shakes his head but smiles.

"I see all that treasure is going to good use!" Elizabeth shrieks. You smile as she ushers you both inside.

"Now that we're back Father has decided to throw a ball at the house, and I want you two to come, but first I have to show Jack his outfit," she says and leaves Jack and you in the living room as she rushes to get his "outfit".

"What's wrong with me clothes now?" Jack asks innocently. You laugh.

"It's probably going to be this huge great affair, and I don't think Elizabeth wants anyone to want to arrest you," you giggle at the look of offence on Jack's face. Elizabeth rushes back in and holds up a suit about Jack's size. Jack stares at it with a look of astonishment; you nudge him in the ribs.

"It's wonderful, Elizabeth," Jack says and takes the suit. He holds it about 6 inches from his body, but Elizabeth doesn't seem to notice.

Jack shifted nervously next to you. You know he must hate this kinda stuff but you couldn't just…or maybe you could.

"Don't worry Jack, we'll get outta here as soon as I can get us out," you whisper. Jack looks at you with curiosity.

"Mr. Jack Sparrow and Miss (your full name)" someone announced in a booming voice. People in the crowd gasped as you walked down the elegant stairs, you on Jack's arm. They were probably gasping because Jack was a ruthless pirate but you would show them, he could be civilized and gosh darn it, so could you.

You both reach the bottom of the stairs.

"Mr. William Turner and Miss Elizabeth Swann" the booming voice announced and everyone clapped as Elizabeth and Will gracefully walked down the stairs. As they reached the bottom, you hear Will mutter to Jack.

"I can't breathe."

He put on a brave face and Jack gave him a hearty smack! on the back. Elizabeth was in her atmosphere, she was walking around with a jump in her step and a huge smile on her perfectly made-up face.

After the formal announcements and the toasts, the food was finally served. Jack's face lit up as a waiter served him a huge glass of rum. Will smiled at him.

"Thanks mate" he said and took a swig of the liquid. The waiter looked at him oddly, shrugged and walked away. Will shook his head.

"Leave it up to you, Jack," he said with a huge grin. You stare at the meal and begin to drool. Jack laughs at the look on your face and you quickly snap out of it. You take a taste of the green stuff on the plate, next to the only thing you recognized, chicken.

"This is good, try it Jack, what it is?" you ask Elizabeth, Jack gives you a look of doubt.

"Escargot" Elizabeth says, using a very small piece of cutlery. (A/n: Yes, I know Escargot is actually supposed to be eaten by removing it from the shells with your own spoon and fork thingies but that kinda gives it away doesn't it?)

"Isn't that…snails?" you ask, suddenly feeling a little woozy.

"Yes, it's a French delicacy," Elizabeth responds. You hear something pattering against the building and look out the window. It's raining.

"Blech" you hear from the end of the crowded table and see a small boy.

"Oh shush James" Elizabeth hushes the boy with blonde hair.

"I'd 'ave to concur with tha' boy," Jack says, pushing the Escargot away from his Chicken.

"Could Jack and I be excused? I need some air" you smile and grab Jack's hand. He follows you loyally outside.

"Everything all right, luv?" Jack asks worriedly.

"C'mon" you say and take his hand again, slipping off your shoes and pulling Jack into the rain.

"Where are we goin'? Me crew can handle a lit'le bit o' rain," Jack asks as you bring him into the town, rain now dripping off of both of you.

"Relax Jack, I know your crew can handle the rain, but can you?" you start to dance.

"Are ye sayin' I be a wimp?" he asks and crosses his arms, a smile on his face as he watches you twirl around.

"No, you are, dance with me Jack," you say and hold out your hand. He takes it and you both twirl around in the rain, mud splashing beneath your feet, oozing between your toes. You laugh out loud and giggle the rest of the way to the ship.

"Yer wonderful (you)" he says and smiles at you genuinely.

"Thank you Jack, I love you," you say and kiss him deeply.

Inside the ship, you smile as Jack sits next to you on his bed calmly. You start to wonder what Elizabeth and Will are thinking about you two suddenly missing when you notice Jack is shaking.

"What's wrong Jack? Are you cold?" you ask, pull the blanket off his bed, and place it around his shoulders. He's already out of the drenched suit and into his old clothes, new hat and all.

"No, luv," he says and wraps his arms around you.

"You can tell me, Jack."

He takes a deep breath, looks at you and smoothes his moustache. A grin spreads across his face.
