I don't own any of these characters… but I DO wish I owned Orlando Bloom… or Will Turner… or Johnny Depp…. Or Captain Jack Sparrow… - Ha… me and Jack…. I can just imagine the looks I'd get from all my friends…. And it'd be worth every second…

Previously, on Defeat:
Jack looked at Will, his charcoaled eyes still swollen and growing, and he took a breath, wetting his lips a little. "Listen, Will, mate… Nothing, and I mean nothing, went on that night on the island. I swear to God and the Pearl. Nothing," he shook his head slightly as he spoke. His words escaped his lips, absolutely sincere, at least to that's how it appeared to Will.
Will listened and watched Jack as he spoke, trying to detect a hint of nervousness or a lie, but he found neither, and he nodded to Jack.
The storm brewing inside of Will had lessened considerably, but her could still feel some of it itching to come out. He decided to stick to his earlier plan of waiting for Elizabeth to fall asleep before he, in anyway, started questioning Jack. So he sat silently in his cell… waiting.
Will leaned his head softly into the corner of the cell, stretching his legs out in front of himself, one knee bent upwards. He found himself being lulled by the slow rocking of the Pearl; back and forth, back and forth, back… and… forth. The little food Will had been given had settled in his stomach, contenting his senses enough to make him feel full. It didn't help that as he was becoming drowsier by the second that Jack was sitting across the aisle, almost in the same position, humming a song; maybe the one he supposedly learned on the island. Will didn't know, and for the moment, didn't care either as he felt his breathing slow to the rhythm of the ship's movement, which somehow, Jack was using as a sort of metronome to which he timed the humming of his song. It soon became too much for Will and it was almost as if he were already asleep before his eyes little by little settled and shut.
Will found himself standing in a massive cathedral; gold leaf lined the walls, stained glass windows depicted Biblical scenes, the ceiling ended high above him in crisscrossing arches. The mass of neatly lined pews was filled with the earnest and bright faces of strangers; some rich, some poor, some old and haggard, some young and fair. Will's heartbeat speed up as he realized with a start that he was standing in the center of the aisle, in front of them all and every eye in the church was staring at him. Seat beaded on his brow like fresh morning dew, as well as under his arms as he stated fidgeting. He first shifted his weight from foot to foot and then he shoved his clammy hands into his pockets.
Silk enveloped both his quaking hands as they plunged into the pockets of his waistcoat. Will frowned a little; his pockets never used to be this soft… He looked down and found himself even more confused. He was wearing the finest clothes he had ever seen. A cream colored waistcoat with gold embroidery along the seams and sleeves; black breeches with matching embroidering; cream stockings that led into shining black buckle shoes with gold buckles; beneath his neck, a black lace cravat; tying his hair back, out of his face and off his neck was a black satin ribbon tied in a bow, which he was very thankful for, as his neck was becoming sticky.
Will's puzzlement only increased as he felt something cold bump up against his fingers. He felt at it and brought it out. It was a ring.
"Oh my god…" Will thought to himself, putting the pieces together in his head. "I'm getting married…" Color drained from his cheeks as his situation became all to clear to him. He became even paler as he heard an orchestra start playing music.
Will faced the other end of the aisle and stared worriedly down towards the double doors at the other end; his breathing became ragged.
Suddenly, from the side of the door, out stepped a woman like no other. Her gown flowed forth from her hips in waves and flounces of white, also embroidered in gold needlework to match that of Will's. The bodice was tight and form fitting, with, not doubt, a corset underneath, and the gold needlework gracing its entirety. Her hair, honey-brown was quaffed in the latest fashion, a single ringlet draping over a perfectly sculpted shoulder. Over her hair was a veil, made of what had to have been the finest antique lace. And being so intricately made, Will couldn't quiet make out the woman's face as she walked slowly up the aisle in time with the music as if she had rehearsed it a hundred times.
For Will, watching her grace her way down the aisle was both agonizing, yet so enthralling to watch. Finally, she made it to the end of the aisle and up to the altar where Will and now a priest were awaiting her.
"You may lift the veil for the ceremony," the priest told Will in a thick Irish brogue, startling the young man, as he didn't realize his presence before.
Will nodded dumbly, put the ring inside his pocket again and turned to the woman. He slowly lifted the veil, trying his hardest not to muss up her hair. When her face was revealed, he gasped.
Elizabeth.
A thousand thoughts raced through his mind as he looked at her smiling back at him.
The color came back to his cheeks in full force, making it appear as if her were blushing madly. He began to get warm again and a few more beads of sweat appeared upon his forehead.
Why was this happening? And moreover, how? Her father would never let her do this…. But then Will remembered her father's current state, yet her was still puzzled.
But Will didn't have time to dwell on his thoughts, for the priest cleared his throat loudly, signaling the music to cease and commanding all attention in the church. "We are gathered here today, in front of this happy pair," the priest gestured towards Will and Elizabeth. Elizabeth beamed back at Will, her face glowing in happiness; whereas Will looked back at her with blank, yet very confused eyes. "To unite them in the eternal bond of marriage," the priest continued, his brogue becoming so thick that it was beginning to become hard for everyone to decipher his speech.
As the priest continued with the ceremony, Will felt his hands start to fidget and shake; he started rubbing them with his calloused fingers, as if there was dirt upon them that would not come off. Will's mind was ablaze with thoughts, wondering why he wasn't overjoyed that this moment had finally come at last; the one moment he'd been waiting for, ever since he had met Elizabeth. How could it be that he stood here, in front of countless people and couldn't control his frightened and nervous self?

A/N: Ok… now it's time for me to do a both bitchy and angelic thing…. Ok… maybe not angelic…. But kinda bitchy, but kinda nice thing….. I'm gonna have to stop the chapter there for now… I'll continue it, but I figured I'd better post it on the site, since I've kept you guys waiting for like a month… and I said in my last update that it'd only be like a week….. Well… that's me… I say one thing and do another… . I hate that, I'm sorry…. Anyways… The next part of this chapter will be a little more exciting… Um…. What's after that? Hm… the rest of the dream wedding…. And then…. Will's gonna wake up, we'll go through probably one more chapter of stuff (not sure how exciting it'll be or not… lol) and then we'll have a lovely meeting with Will and Hector (aka Barbossa… of whom we've not heard from in a long time, and I say it's a fine time to start hearing from that oh-so-loveable bad guy again… don't ya think?)… What'd ya say? I think it's gonna be fun… - Well, at least you guys will have that to look forward to… Or at least I'm hoping that you're looking forward to that… Lol…
Peace, Love, and Cheers!
Tati Bloom aka Elf Girl 4 aka Tater Tot aka Aducorien… aka Death Angel aka… a lot of other things… lol…
PS: I love Orlando Bloom and Johnny Depp and a certain boy that's gone off to college… -
MANY, MANY, HUGE AND SUPERB THANKS TO…
Kenobisaqt: Thank you!! And I hoped that this chapter had enough Will in it for you… The next few chapters almost all (should … but I'm not sure if they will) focus mainly on that dashing blacksmith… -
Talabar- Yep! I'm back…. Thanks so much, I'm glad you liked the chapter! Thanks… I actually am feeling better, but now I've got school coming up and over 1,000 pages to read before then… so I'll see if my well-being holds up enough for me to write another chapter soon!
LordLanceahlot- Lol! Does double snaps Thanks a million… I'm glad that you're still into my story after all this time!!! And plus… doesn't matter if anything you say is corny… I love it all the same…. Plus… Corny things can be fun… like romantic movies…. Lol!! Yeah, I'm a Will/Liz fan too… but I figured that Jack needed a little action to survive… plus he was drunk…. So…. I mean…. Well… it was fun. I'm so happy you liked it!! Keep reading!
October Sky- Wow… on the 19th page! That's a long ways back… lol… - I'm so ecstatic that you like this that much! Yep, I'm glad I updated too… I was just feeling absolutely terrible that I hadn't…. And… just… thanks a mil! You've been so great! Keep reviewing!!!
The-Serious-Padfoot- Thank you!! Lol…. Dictator of the USA… (I would make a political joke here… but I'm not sure if it'd offend you or anyone else… so I'll refrain from it….) Sweet… It's always good to have more people read (or in this case… re-read…) the books!! We should totally make it our mission to have everyone in the entire world experience J.R.R. Tolkien in some way or another…. Lol… Yeah… I had fun too… writing that lovely bit with Rum Bird and Liz… And yes… poor Will… more poor Will to come in the next chapter…. cough cough If that's not foreshadowing… I don't know what is… lol…. So yeah… I'll keep you guessing…. For a little while at least… Lol!
PoppyNokia- Hey!! Thanks… And yes. That was me who promised you a Will chapter for your sweet 16th… (you turned 16… right? I hope so… I don't want to get it wrong…) Anyways… Here's a bit of Will that I thought might make you happy… But there'll be more Will chapters quite soon… So you wanted me to give you a Will/Barbossa (not like… slash…. But just w/ both of them in it… lol) chapter right? Would that be ok? Since I'm going that way anyways…. You've got that to still look forward to… - And Will sitting on his ass… um… Well… I could make it that he um… is just resting his ass until someone comes along in the story and gives him a spanking for being such a boring, yet so enticingly hot little blacksmith… Lmmfao…. No… that's probably not going to happen… but it'd be fun, wouldn't it? Lol… Hope you did well on your exams! And your present will be soon…. Right after I finish my school reading stuff…. Or somewhere near then…. Well… keep reviewing…. -
Christine- Sweet name…Lol… Yes, there'll be much more Barbossa… of course…. I'm not sure about Barbossa/Liz… but I might be able to work in a little… - And if you wanted to know… after I'm done with this story, I'll be going on to write one entirely about Barbossa… So you've got that to look forward to… but it'll be a while from now…. And yeah! I totally agree!!! Geoffrey Rush is amazing!! I just watched "Ned Kelly" this morning and he was the villain in that… and he was so cool…. Yet so evil…. Man… That's just sweet…. And I liked him in Finding Nemo too! He was cool in that…. Darth Vader = awesome… I love Star Wars… that was just like… a work of genius… and Darth Vader was just soooo cool… I mean, he's evil… but he's cool… (like Barbossa) and you can't figure out whether to like him or to hate him… I love that in a character…. Keep reading!!!
Mistress of Mordor- Yep… I've updated… and this time, it's sooner than before…. Takes out a bottle of champagne and uncorks it, but ends up with it all over…. Oops… Oh well… Takes out 2 cans of Dr. Pepper and some cookies instead So yeah….. thanks! I'm glad ya liked the chappie… And yeah… I mean, I wanted some tension to be going on with Jack and Liz, but I didn't want it to be too dramatic and ooc… So I'm glad that it worked out… And I've gotta say… I absolutely LOVED making Elizabeth drunk… that was so much fun…. Character depth is what I'm striving for, since many characters (in fanfics or not…) are so much like cardboard cutouts that they're just not interesting and they make it so that you've got no real emotional attachment to them… So I'm glad that Jack and Liz've got a little bit of depth… And the "waves licking at the white sand" bit was once again (like all my best parts) something that was totally random and came out of the blue when I started writing it…. Although, with this chapter, I'm not sure that there's any descriptions or anything that really stand out… Tell me if you find something though… lol… I've gotta say it again… like I do every time I update… I'm so glad that you're here on this journey with me… You've been such a great help and I know you've said you'll stay through thick and thin… but I'm just sooo grateful to you. You've done such an awesome job at critiquing me and making me a better writer… Inserts random quote to break up the tender moment Lol…. "Hector must die…" Winks It's all right about the Johnny question… and about POTC 2…. All I've been able to find out in my quests on the net are that it's supposed to have REALLY big twists and turns (enough to make you come see the 3rd sequel…) and that Keith Richards will most likely be in it as Johnny's aka Jack Sparrow's dad… Now… about the people… like Keira and Johnny and Orlando… they're still in contract negotiations… Since, now, they're all bigger stars, they're demanding more money and well… you can probably figure it out… So, there's a possibility that there might not be any sequel(s)… but in reality, I think Disney's made so much $$ off of the franchise that they wont give up the opportunity to make the sequel(s), no matter how much it costs them…. Big sigh Ok… that's enough Hollywood economics and whatnot for me… So I'd better be off to eat lunch now… it's already the afternoon and I'm starving…. Hope you review soon…. Give me some suggestions for the next part of the wedding, please… - Talk to ya later… cheers!
OK… SO A BIG THANKS TO ALL THE REVIEWERS… I LOVE YA ALL…. SO KEEP REVIEWING!!
