IMPORTANT: So not to confuse people with having so many Will's in this story Buffy's father's name is Benjamin "Bootstrap Ben" Summers. I was afraid if I left it Bill everyone would think it's governor Turner.

To clear up the confusion for one of readers when I say William I mean Bloom not Spike. Spike will not be making an appearance. I will switch between the using William and Will and that is Bloom.

Thanks to everyone for the reviews. You guys are the best!

The pain radiating from her head was excruciating. Slowly she opened her eyes and everything was blurry. Closing them for a few seconds, she opened them again and things were clearer. Sitting up slowly, she looked around to see where she was. The room was dark with only a little light shining through the closed curtains. Looking around the room Buffy didn't recognize where she was at. Looking down she was stilling wearing her clothes from the night before. The last thing she remembered was fighting the pirates.

"Good you're awake." Buffy turned her voice to the door that she hadn't heard open.

"Mr. Wyndam-Pryce? What am I doing here?" Buffy recognized the man that was an associate of Angel's.

"Angel found you last night unconscious on the street. You've taken quite a blow to the head. How do you feel?"

"I'm fine. Where's Angel?"

"In the cellar. That where he sleeps during the day."

"Tell him I said Thank you." She began to get up. "And ask if he'll patrol for me. I have to leave town for a bit. Thanks."

"May I ask where you are going for when Angel wakes up?"

"I'm not sure yet but I'm going after those pirates. They took a friend of mine."

Mr. Wyndam-Pryce nodded. Buffy rushed out the open room door and quickly ran down the stairs and out the door of the house. She ran to the where she knew the Commodore and Governor would be. Using her slayer strength, she jumped to the roof of the building and lay flat so she could hear what they said.

"That Jack Sparrow." Murtogg spoke. "He talked about the Black Pearl."

"Mentioned it is more what he did." Another soldier spoke.

"No. The pirates who invaded this fort left Sparrow locked in his cell; ergo they are not his allies. Governor, we will establish their most likely course."

That was all Buffy needed to hear as she dropped off the roof and ran home to check on Giles. She was relieved to see that he had come through unscathed. He was sleeping soundly. Going to Giles's desk she quickly wrote him a note. She put it where he could find it and changed out of her tan work outfit and into her brown traveling outfit and hat. It hid her face and kept her identity secret. She tucked her hair up under the hat. Buffy left and quickly ran toward her best friend's house. She was in luck to see that Willow was outside.

"Willow. I'm glad to see you're alright."

"Buffy? Why are you wearing that? What's going on?"

"I'm going after the pirates. They took Will. I need you to keep an on Giles for me."

"Alright Buffy. Just be careful and come back to us. Giles couldn't take losing you too."

"I will Willow."


Jack Sparrow tried everything he could think of to get out of the cell. When the door to the jail opens, he quickly laid on the floor facing upwards. When his visitor didn't say anything, he looked up to see who it was.

"Something I can do for ya boy?"

"More along the lines of something I can do for you." Buffy said taking off her hat so he could see who she was.

"Nice disguise their luv. What is it that you think you can offer me?"

"Your freedom. I heard you are familiar with the Black Pearl."

"I've heard of it."

"Where does it make berth?"

"Where does it make berth? Have you not heard the stories? Captain Barbossa and his crew of miscreants sail from the dreaded Isla de Muerta. It's an island that cannot be found except by those who already know where it is."

"The ship's real enough. Therefore, its anchorage must be a real place. Where is it?"

"Why ask me?"

"Why not ask you? Besides, you're a pirate."

"And you want to turn pirate yourself, is that it?"

"Never. They took Mr. Turner."

"I see. Well, if you're intending to be brave all hasten to his rescue, and so win his heart's heart, you'll have to do it alone, mate."

"Well if you rather stretch on the come dawn that's your choice, and I'm sure there won't be any tears." Buffy turned to leave. In her head she counted to five.

"Wait! I don't see how you are going to me out. They key's run off."

"I can get you out on that you can count on. I have several ways. One, my mentor has taught me all about these cells. These are half-pin barrel hinges. With the right leverage and the proper application of strength. The door will lift free."

Buffy showed him by setting the nearby bench up beneath the hinges.

"What's your name?"

"Buffy Summers."

"That would be short for Elizabeth I imagine. Good strong name. Well, luv, I've changed me mind. If you spring me from this cell, I swear on pain of death I shall take you to the Black Pearl and to Mr. Turner. Do we have an accord?" Jack sticks his hand out for her to shake. Buffy shakes it.

"Agreed."

"Agreed. Get me out."

Buffy moved the bench deciding to do it the easy way. She grabbed the bars and yanked. Jack looked at her shock and awe written on his face.

"Think about that Sparrow. I could snap you like a twig without breaking a nail. Consider that before you think about trying to double cross me. Hurry. Someone will have heard that."

"Not without my effects." Jack said as he grabs his things. Buffy once again tucks her hair under the hat.


The two stuck to the shadows as they made their way to the harbor. They stopped underneath the bridge. They watched the soldier as they guarded the harbor.

"We're going to steal a ship?" Buffy asked looking to where Jack was looking. "That ship?"

"Commandeer. We're going to commandeer that ship. Nautical term. One question about your business lass, or there's no use going. This boy. How far are you willing to go to save him?"

"I'd die for him." Buffy said fiercely and without hesitation.

"Oh good. No worries then."

When the coast was clear, they made it to the rowboat and hid beneath it from the patrol that would soon be coming. When the patrol passed, the two kept low and moved quickly into the water. Buffy couldn't believe she was going along with this plan as they walked deep beneath the sea.

"This is either madness or brilliance," said Buffy.

"It's remarkable how often those two traits coincide." Jack said as they continued.

Buffy was glad her slayerness gave her quick reflexes as she avoided stepping in a lobster trap. The rest of the walk went on in silence. They soon made it to the ship and floated up. They both began to climb. The two then moved quietly toward the crew.

"Everyone stay calm! We are taking over the ship" Jack called out both with their weapons drawn.

Buffy jumped over the rail landing smoothly, but keeping her face hidden. She was known by many of the soldiers and did not want them telling Norrington.

"This ship cannot be crewed by two men. You'll never make it out of the bay."

"Son, I am Captain Jack Sparrow." Jack raised his pistol at the leaders face. Who eyed and gulped slightly. Jack pulls the trigger back. "Savvy?"

The men soon found themselves loaded in one long boat. Some went along quietly and some Buffy threw overboard. Buffy and Sparrow played acted, as they knew the Commodore was watching them.

"Here they come." Buffy told him.

"I'll take care of the rudder chain. You get ready to go." Buffy nodded.

Buffy and Sparrow waited for the Interceptor to get moving before putting it into motion. They hid and while the Interceptor crew boarded the Dauntless, they swung over to the other ship. Immediately Buffy used her axe to cut the lines. Buffy heard Norrington scream out orders when he realized his ship was moving.

Jack waved his hat at Norrington.

"Thank you, Commodore, for getting us ready to make way. We'd have had a hard time of it by ourselves."
