I do not own potc
This is a completely different view of potc, Jack is still Jack, he's still a pirate and our old favourites are in it, Mr Gibbs, Ana, Norrington, Will and Liz. The events of the movie still happened too although slightly different as you will see. Don't worry its not slash or anything as you will see too! I'm well aware that some may like it and others wont so these first couple of chapters are experimental just to see if there is enough of you to keep writing for! Please review to let me know, critism is welcome although no flames please. Any way here you go:

Jack rubbed his eyes, his head was throbbing. Wither is was the alcohol that coursed through his veins of the constant drone of Mr Gibbs's gibbering he didn't know, either way he felt truly shit.
"So anyways, so I heard anyway, Norry has sent out a new fleet to capture the young vixen, as far as I know he's forgotten all about you Captain. I would think that if we are going to Port Royal then now is the chance while he's otherwise engaged. What'd you say Jack?" Jack turned a weary eye on Mr Gibbs squinting through his drunkenness.
"Aye, whatever Gibbs. You set a course." he lifted his bottle of rum and turned to leave. "I suppose it is time to go and visit Will." he pondered on his friend as he made his way to his cabin. They'd met up on several occasions since his escape a few years previous but the Commodore Norrington had always made it a hard job. Holding a grudge was obviously one of the his strong points. Will and Liz were married now and the last he had heard Liz was expecting Will's baby wither or not she had had it yet he did not know. Getting on solid land would be a blessing at least, it had been a long time since they had docked the Black Pearl, she was in need of some repairs and servicing as was Jack. He grinned at the thought, finally a chance to get his filthy hands on a woman again.
Easing himself down into a chair and throwing his feet on the table in front, he turned his attention to the view outside his cabin window. A vast openness that stretched forever before him, he loved it. The freedom it brought was overwhelming. His ship seemed to fit in with the darkness and glide easily to the unknown, she was a true beauty amongst other ships. He smiled as he caught side of another ship in the distance, another day perhaps he would have looted the bastereds but today he was content to just sit and watch her glide by. Rubbing his eyes again he stood to move over to his bed, taking one last glace at the ship in the distance, it had increased its speed and was powering away from the Pearl, probably fearing an attack. A pirate ship such as his was easily identifiable.
He could feel the Pearl swinging round ready to head to Port Royal, far in the distance he could see their destination, a tiny dot amongst stars, A planet that by morning he would be hovering right over ready to dock on. Crawling into his bed he flopped down and instantly closed his eyes.
"Lights off." he muttered and heard the small sigh as Pearl turned the light off. (Confused? Want more explanation?)

As predicted Planet Caribbean was now huge in the ship cockpit window, Mr Gibbs had already begun to fly into the docking ring that was settled above the planet. Docking rings were essential to all habited planets. No ship without a licence could fly down and land directly on a planet surface, not that it had stopped Jack before however but for now he had chosen to use the docking ring so he could have the Black Pearl repaired while he was visiting, if he needed a quick escape then it wouldn't be too hard to hijack one of the carriers. The only problem with the docking rings was their checks on all docking ships, they checked the contraband within the hold, which jack had ample amounts of illegal stolen good. They also checked the ship identity code to see if it had links to pirate activity or illegal good shipping which Jack had ample amounts of swell. But he had something they didn't know about, an override chip. It gave the docking ring false information, as far as they could see his ship was clean as a whistle.
"Pearl, activate Override." he instructed as the ship entered a docking space.
"Activated." she replied in the usual mono tone that Jack found irresistible. He grinned at it and Ana, his first officer rolled her eyes.
"You'll marry this bloody ship given half a chance Jack." he shrugged and lent back in the beaten leather chair in front of the controls. To his left the Speaker crackled into life.
"This is Caribbean Docking Station Twelve, Scanning your ship, please wait." Jack rolled his eyes at the speaker as he waited for the all clear,
"Welcome crew of Danty Four, Next carrier to Caribbean Ports, Royal, Amnisty and Cleve will be in thirty two minutes."
"That's us." Jack leapt from his chair and headed towards the door.
"Pearl shut down all systems my love and have yourself a rest." he patted the ship fondly.
"System shut down." she replied and one by one lights and controls began to turn off.
The crew assembled outside and Jack ordered several to get on with the ship repairs and the rest to hang about in the docking ring, there was plenty of bars and entertainment houses to keep them occupied.
As himself and Mr Gibbs travelled down the corridor to the carrier station Jack was well aware of the various stares he got, he looked like pirate and Mr Gibbs well, he looked like a scruffy round bellied man but nobody at least said anything as they boarded the carrier. Jack's eye wandered over the woman in the carrier, God he better find one for himself before he burst. Tearing his eyes off a leggy blond he bracing himself for the sudden whoosh as the carrier launched into the planet atmosphere. A smart plan the carriers were. An attempt to stop planets such as Caribbean being over run with unknown ships and criminals, however it did not work all too perfectly, although it did deter most pirates and illegal business it only made things harder for Jack who was not put off by these enforcements.
The carrier landed at last and Jack finally took in a long breath of fresh air. Port Royal looked about the same as most cities, clean, fresh and buzzing with life. Jack nodded over at a picture of Governor Swann on the side of an advertisement billiard and grinned at the slogan.
"Keep our cities drug free." he shook his head, "I don't suppose he's taken a look at his own daughter recently." Beside him Mr Gibbs laughed and motioned for a taxi.

"Put that away Liz!" Will scorned snatching the bottle of pills from the table.
"Get a grip Will, what do you expect? I'm miserable, I need them!" she snatched the bottle back and stuffed it into the pockets of her tight leather pants. Will rolled his eyes and wrapped his arms round his wife. Her problem with Clorize had stemmed from the beginning of their relationship, stopped when she had got pregnant and started again when she had lost the baby. It had pained Will to watch her slip into a delusional state each time she had swallowed a pill but a least it made her happy if not a bit crazy.
Above them the intercom buzzed into life and it distracted Will enough to allow Elizabeth to throw another pill down her neck.
"Mr Turner, you have two guests down here but…" the voice went to a whisper, "They look a bit strange sir, should I let them up?" Will frowned at his wife.
"What have you been up to Liz? That better not be your bloody drug dealing friends!" he turned back to the intercom. "What do they look like?"
"One is fat and the other has got long hair and a red bandana." Will sighed with relief and ordered for them to be let in.
"Who is it Will?" Elizabeth grinned as her drugs began to kick in.
"I think its Jack." her eyes widened at the door whooshed open and indeed Jack and Mr Gibbs strolled in.
"Well well, Jack!" Will slapped the pirate on the back, "its been a while."
"Indeed mate, what's been happening?" Will frowned and readied himself for a long talk.
