Not much to say except thanks for reviewing and please keep it up! And as always I still don't own PotC or sadly Johnny Depp. Some people have all the luck.

"Righ' righ', I knew that o' course. Just makin' sure ye did is all." Jack said turning on his heel to head the other way. Michel smiled and Anna snickered and rolled her eyes in a very exagerated fashion behind Jack's back. Jack took very long strides and was soon up to the boy. He just kept on walking past not pausing to look at him. Michel turned on his heel in the same manner Jack had and followed a few strides behind, Anna beside him.

"So tell me how you've been since my capture." Anna prompted Michel. Michel's eyes widened again.

"Your what?" He asked, shocked. Anna shook her head.

"Not until we see my parents. You'll hear it all then I promise." Anna said wagging her finger at him. Michel smiled at her comical expression and nodded.

"Ok then, fair enough. So about me.... well there isn't much to say. I stayed at your father's shop for about five more years after you left. Miserable time, Will was so depressed. Always walking around mumbling to himself or sitting for hours not saying anything or moving a muscle. Some days he didn't even show up for work." Michel said in answer to Anna's previous question. Anna's eyes glazed over.

***Flash back***

"How's my little princess?" Will asked, setting the child back down and leading her in the door to the shop.

"Daddy, how many times do I have to tell you? I'm a pirate like Captain Jack Sparrow, not a princess!" The little girl said with mock frustration. Will smacked his hand against his head.

"So sorry, love. I always seem to forget!"

***end flash back***

"A pirate...." Anna mumbled to herself. Michel gave her a worried look. Jack turned around and stopped walking.

"What about a pirate luv?" Jack asked Anna. Anna shook her head as if shaking the memories away.

"Wha-? Oh, nothing Jack." Anna aswered her eyes returning to normal. Jack cocked an eyebrow but continued walking anyway. Michel just inwardly shrugged and made a mental note to figure out why her eyes did that weird glaze thing. They continued walking in silence.

"Will do you think she needs help?" Elizabeth asked worriedly looking at the sprawled body of a girl not more than 15 on the street. Will nodded and Elizabeth ran over to her. She lifted up the girl's head and looked at her bloodied face.

"Can you speak? Say something!" Elizabeth commanded the girl, searching for any signs of life. She appeared to be breathing but not very hard and her breaths were irregular. Will walked over and kneeled beside her. The girl's eyelids fluttered open breifly but shut almost as soon as they had opened. Elizabeth wasn't even sure it had happened. She turned her head to look at Will, a worried expression was on his face.

"Trips canceled Liz. We should get her inside." Will said. Elizabeth nodded her agreement and looked back down at the girl. Will slipped his arms under her limp body and easily lifted her off of the ground. He carried her in, Elizabeth following quietly.

"Are we close yet?" Anna asked after about 15 minutes of walking. Jack hesitated in his answer as he still didn't know exactly where they were going in the first place. Michel answered for him.

"I've only been here about 3 times but I think we're getting pretty close." He answered. Anna nodded and Jack just looked relieved he didn't have to make up something to cover himself.

"Why were you there those three times?" Anna asked Michel. He looked a bit hesitant to answer but went ahead anyway.

"Well once for your, umm......funeral." Michel said. Anna looked puzzeled.

"My funeral? Why would I have a funeral? I'm not dead." Anna said even though she knew why they had. They had given up on her, thought her dead.

"Well you disappeared and everybody thought you to be dead. Except your parents, they always thought you were still alive. Never gave up hope." Michel answered. Anna nodded.

"And the other two times?" Anna questioned.

"Parties." Michel said plainly. Anna's eyes lit up.

"Parties! Oh how are they? I've never been." Anna asked. Jack chuckled.

"Not all they're cracked up to be luv. Bunch of stiffs and eunuchs." Jack said remembering the parties from his youth. Dark days, very dark days. Michel nodded in agreement.

"For once your friends right Anna. No fun at all." Michel said. Jack nodded. Anna looked a bit puzzeled as to why Jack would call the people at parties eunuchs but she just shrugged it off. No use questioning Jack, it was like running in circles.
