Author's note: YEAH!!!!!!! Merry Christmas! I finished it before I left! I
leave in five hours to travel for a month! So I won't write for a while, 34
days approximately, but I have good news. Christmas is about love, and
peace so here's a little peace and love from Will and Elizabeth for Will
and Elizabeth! The formatting of this is so hard! The song lyrics are in
(Brackets), I'm sorry if there are flow problems but I was trying to
portray the song and dance as it happened, because the lyrics of the song
are like Will and Elizabeth's relationship incarnated it's absolutely
beautiful. This song and these moments were the reason I started this
story, so enjoy!!!!!!! Oh and don't worry there will be plenty more after
this, I just have to kinda move first so yeah, patience my fans, patience.
Elizabeth was amazed at the change that overtook the club in that instant, it seemed as though everything were suddenly stuck in slow motion. She listened, as 'It is you I have loved' by Danielle Glover came over the speakers. Elizabeth had always been partial to the song, but now was not the time for it. All around them dancers slowed and grabbed partners, seizing the massive blob around them in a tight gridlock. It was increasingly apparent that her and Will would be moving nowhere in the next four minutes.
"What are we going to do?" Elizabeth mumbled to herself. (There is something that I see.)
Will's eyes were shining slightly. "We'll go with the flow," he said simply. (In the way you look at me.)
"Go with the flow? Have you been watching MTV while I'm in the bathroom or something?" (There's a smile, there's a truth in your eyes.)
"Where's our best guess for Hen's hideout?" Will asked, staring through the club. (What an unexpected way, on this unexpected day.)
Elizabeth was a little puzzled but answered Will's question anyway. "That way," she said as she pointed to a far wall over the crowd. (Could it be, this is where I belong)
"Excellent," came Will's reply.
Suddenly Elizabeth was caught in a flourish of movement, which turned out to be Will. (There's no more mystery) He had grabbed her and now they were standing in an open dance position.
"What are you doing?" Elizabeth asked. (It is finally clear to me)
"Flowing," Will said mysteriously. (You're the home my heart searched for so long)
And then they began; they were dancing a waltz to the beat of the music. Will was smooth and graceful, and he led wonderfully. (It is you I have loved all along). Elizabeth found herself gliding across the dance floor. And what's more, she found that people were stepping aside and letting her.
The stir of Will's steps was clearing a path for them, (There's a time I ran to hide) they were moving through the floor with ease and stirring a lot of attention as they did so. (Afraid to show the other side) Elizabeth was amazed at Will's coordination as he gently steered her through the crowd. (Alone in the dark without you)
"This is amazing," she exclaimed. "Where did you learn this?" (But now I know just who you are)
"I told you before, I have been taking lessons. I've been trying to impress people," he flushed slightly. (And I know you own my heart)
"I think it's working for you," she said as she flushed slightly. (Finally this is where I belong) She couldn't meet his eyes; they were too beautiful. (And it is you I have loved all along)
Elizabeth felt horrible about what had transpired between them the night before, (There's no more mystery) she felt unworthy to be held in his arms like this after she had offended him so badly. (It is finally clear to me) She had to apologize.
"I'm sorry," both her and Will sputtered out at the same time as they swivelled their way across the dance floor. (You're the home my heart searched for so long)
Both chuckled slightly and stared at their respective feet. (It is you I have loved all along)
"You first," Elizabeth said softly, curious as to what imperfection Will could possibly hold. (Instrumental)
"I'm sorry I have been curt to you Elizabeth, that I haven't been more understanding and kept greater self-control," Elizabeth looked up momentarily, and saw Will's eyes downcast and shamed. He was entirely unaware of how much Elizabeth had loved his momentary slips of self- control, his rash kiss days before still haunted her lips regularly. It was time to be honest.
"I'm sorry I've made you," Elizabeth started softly, holding her head down to keep from seeing Will's shocked response. "I'm sorry that you've been lost and confused and that I have been unable to help you. And I'm sorry that things have been tense between us, that I've kept you locked up for three days without bothering to see how you were taking it. And most of all I'm sorry that in two days you'll be out of my life forever and you'll probably want to forget me as soon as you can," she said bluntly
She let Will and the dance take over momentarily as silence fell and both dancers pondered what had just been said. Elizabeth noticed how safe she felt in Will's arms; it was the most beautiful thing. She felt as though when they danced as they were now she could tell him anything and he would understand. She felt a power and confidence in him that gave her strength.
"Elizabeth, I want you to know, that no matter what happens I'll always remember you," Will spoke softly. (Over and over, I'm filled with emotion)
Elizabeth finally met Will in the eyes, and her resolve crumbled. She was falling in love with him, she had already fallen in love with him. (Your love rushes through my veins). And now he was right there and she wished nothing more than to tell him.
"Will I," she started and her tongue caught in her throat, she couldn't say it, it was too hard! (And I am filled, with the sweetest devotion)
They kept spinning through the crowd until they reached the side and Elizabeth could see Hen in the distance.
She had to tell him, she wanted to tell him, but it was too complicated, too hard, too unexpected. She didn't deserve him, he didn't belong to her, she had to respect the movie and it's characters. She couldn't do this. (As I looked into your perfect face)
(pause) Oh to heck with it!
(There's no more mystery,) Then Elizabeth kissed him, and he kissed her. (It is finally clear to me) and they kissed each other! It was as if the whole world fell out from beneath them, and neither of them cared. They just stood there for what seemed like eternity. (You're the one my heart searched for so long) The stars fell (It is you I have loved) and the earth moved (It is you I have loved) and both of them realised that they were in love, and neither of them cared. (It is you I have loved all along).
Elizabeth broke off the kiss gently, slowly not wanting it to end. It was magical and wonderful; she looked around at the club dreamily, not caring what was going on around her, or what happened to her next. And was promptly assaulted by the bright flashing of what seemed like millions of light bulbs.
The light bulbs and camera flashes around her brought her back to reality in an instant. All of a sudden, her previous fears and misconceptions were thrown back at her at a break neck pace. The peril of having her seen with Will in public, the computer sitting in the back of her car and the deadline for the meeting with Hen, crashing through her brain.
Like lightening, she grabbed Will and dragged him off toward Hen's door, hoping against hope that it had not shut and that the one chance of solving the mystery behind the strange computer did not pass her by. She had to get away from the cameras and get in contact with Hen; those were her goals. But she was still reeling from her rash kiss on the dance floor. She was positive that neither party had been expecting it; she could hardly believe that she had done it herself! But never mind that, she had to focus.
They reached the side of the floor and Elizabeth was prepared to yell out for Hen. Will, obviously, had misjudged the intentions because he suddenly whirled her around and proceeded to kiss her again; this time she gave little resistance. All of her previous goals were forgotten and her focus was lost as she threw her arms around his neck and returned his favour. It was funny, it all seemed familiar to her, and at the same time everything was new. Elizabeth had never felt that way before, like the love she was seeking was actually given to her. It was marvellous, as was Will's kissing. His mouth was sweet, almost hinting a taste of chocolate. She could feel the passion between them rising and she leaned into him and allowed herself to drift away on his soft and skilful lips.
"Am I interrupting something, or are you here for a good time after all," came the cynical voice of Hen.
Elizabeth froze immediately, which was a little funny considering she was mid-kiss. Will stopped immediately thereafter and both turned to look at Hen sheepishly.
"I just. we were just. It seems as though you caught us." Elizabeth stammered.
"Boning up on your mouth to mouth I presume?" Hen scolded. "I don't like my time to be wasted Lizzie, and that is always a waste of my time."
Elizabeth figured if she jumped to the point Hen would have less of an opportunity to insult or belittle her.
"Hen, this is Will Turner, you may have seen him in such films as Pirates of the Caribbean, and such governmental cover-ups as 'So I designed a machine to steal objects from films but ended up stealing entire movie characters', we've been dying to meet you," she said sweetly.
"Are you kiddin me?" Hen said sceptically.
"On my honour as a hack," Elizabeth said as she grabbed Will and dragged him along as they followed Hen to his room.
"Hackers can't be trusted," Hen said loudly over the crowd.
"Hackers are the only ones who can be trusted, if they have the right proof," Elizabeth said slyly as they entered the room.
"What do you mean, proof?" Hen asked warily.
"I have a new laptop I want you to take a look at." Elizabeth said.
"Show me," Hen said, trying vainly to hide his excitement in his eyes.
Somewhere above them a pair of hurt and jealous eyes hid emotions of far greater impact.
Elizabeth was amazed at the change that overtook the club in that instant, it seemed as though everything were suddenly stuck in slow motion. She listened, as 'It is you I have loved' by Danielle Glover came over the speakers. Elizabeth had always been partial to the song, but now was not the time for it.
