Disclaimer: Sadly, Liz and I (Allie) do not own Pirates of the Caribbean. Well, we each own the DVD, but that's about it. Actually, don't tell the people at Disney this, but we've kidnapped Jack Sparrow and Will Turner.

Jack (offstage): It's CAPTAIN!

Sorry. I mean, Captain Jack Sparrow. Anywho, Liz and I both hope that ye enjoy the story. And please, be kind; review. We don't care if you think it's bad-let us know, and then let us know how to improve. On with the story!

Prologue:

Port Royal 1712

"Come to sea with me mate," Captain Jack Sparrow said, "It's the only way to live." Not paying attention, William Turner sighed.

"I can't believe she left me. Elizabeth, the love of my life, my world, my everything. I thought we were so perfect for each other. But since the beginning of our relationship we had our problems. I should have known something was up when she kept breaking our dates to go to 'meetings' with her 'father'. Ha, was I ever stupid." He turned to face Jack. "What did you say?" he asked, realizing the man next to him had spoken.

"I said forget about her and come to sea with me! There are plenty of other girls around. Ye just haven't found the right one. I guarantee if you come with me ye'll have more 'right ones' than you know what to do with," Jack said with a wink. "Besides, we can always use a good pirate." Will looked at Jack and thought a moment. He knew what his choice must be.

"I guess Elizabeth and I were just not meant to be. Well, good bye, wench. You'll no longer have a grip on my heart, never again. You or anybody else." Will stuck his hand out towards Jack. "Alright! I'll take you up on that offer Captain." Jack grinned and shook his friend's hand.

"Good decision, whelp. And who knows? Maybe ye'll meet the girl of your bloody dreams on one of me voyages." Jack said with a laugh, turning to walk to his ship.

"Jack, the day I ever find another woman worth giving my heart to, is the day you do." Jack started towards his ship laughing once again.

"Well, then young William I'm quite sorry. Being the pirate that I am, ye know what the chances of that happening are. Ye'll grow old very alone I'm afraid."

"Exactly my plan." Will mumbled. Turning around, Jack spoke once more.

"Let the hurt go mate. It's not worth bloody brooding over. It will all be right in the end. Just give it some time. She wasn't right for ye anyway. Now run home and retrieve your things. Then meet me at the Pearl in about an hour. She's just behind those rocks." He pointed in the direction, nodded, then turned to go. Will then left to get his few belongings.

An hour later Will stepped aboard the Black Pearl. He looked at the familiar surroundings and did something he hadn't done in weeks. Smiled. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad after all, he thought. Turning towards a noise he saw Jack.

"Welcome home Mr. Turner."
