Title: Tropical Island

Review: Changing a bit in POTC. Instead of Jack and Elizabeth getting stranded on the island Will and Elizabeth get stranded. Think, a day on a tropical island with the love of your life sound good? Sure does to Will and Elizabeth.

As Will was swimming to shore he heard Jack's voice in his head,

"Don't do anything stupid." Please forgive me Jack, he thought, but I have to make sure Elizabeth is safe. I'll come back for you later Jack, I promise. He stood up out of the water and saw Elizabeth wading to land. He began shaking his head to get rid of all the water.

Elizabeth looked behind her and saw him. Time seemed to slow down and she stared at Will shaking his head and bending over and ruffling his hair with his hands to dry it. She watched his hair go all over the place and him pushing it out of his eyes.

Will looked up and saw that Elizabeth's clothes were soaked and were skin tight. The bodice hugged her tightly and as he looked up he saw her beautiful legs and her skinny hips. He looked up and saw the curves and looked away almost immediately as he felt blush creep into his cheeks.

"Uh, I'll go and see if there's anything edible on this island." Will said, wanting to get rid of his embarrassment. Elizabeth lit up and said,

"I'll come with you." Will felt happy and embarrassed because of his earlier 'peep show' so he took of his shirt to give it to her. Elizabeth's eyes widened when she saw him taking his shirt off and she admired his body.

He took good care of it, it was obvious and Elizabeth could barely keep her eyes off him. She realised he was holding his shirt to her and looked down at her own clothing and realised that everything had gone see-through and clingy. Being a proper gentleman he'd offered her his shirt, of course! How could she have thought he'd meant anything else?

Will had seen her looking at his body and wondered if she'd thought he was doing something else (AN: You know what I mean!). He'd also seen the disappointment when she'd realised he was giving his shirt to her.

Could this mean that she actually loved her in the same way that he loved her and longed to do what Elizabeth had thought he was doing earlier? This could not be. They'd been friends most of their lives, eight years of it, over a third of their lives.

Elizabeth had been the only constant and reliable person in his life since his mother died. The only other woman he loved. Could it be that Elizabeth felt the same way that he did? Was it remotely possible?

Will had found some food and they ate it silently. They were both sitting facing the sea and the tension was in the air. Will was turning to say something and so was Elizabeth and their knees bumped together.

This caused them both to blush and turn back to the sea. They were both shy and it was strange. They'd known each other for so long and yet, now they were so shy and quiet with each other.

They both thought of the days, long ago, when they played together. After Will had been saved by Elizabeth they'd both been best friends despite the difference in their status. They'd always spent some time together everyday till they were 14 when 'duty' had interrupted.

Will had had to start working almost full time at Brown's forge and Elizabeth had to learn all the rules and the right's and wrong's of dinners and parties and such. Everything had become hectic but they always made sure that they saw each other at least once a week.

Then at 15 hormones had interfered and they had some very close moments. They had agreed that their situation was complicated and a friendship would be best. Governor Swann hated it when Elizabeth missed her lessons to visit the blacksmith's apprentice.

Will awoke from the trace-like state that they'd both been in and leaped up and decided to go do something of value instead of think of times gone by like this. Instead of think of times that would never come again.

Elizabeth looked out to sea. It was a beautiful sight, the sun was setting and random colours were splashed across the sky as if a painter had gone crazy. The sea was a light blue and ripples made their way across the surface.

A clunk came from behind her. She turned and saw that Will had made a pile of fire wood and was now proceeding to try and light it. She thought for a second before saying,

"Will, come here and look at the sunset. It's so beautiful." Will looked up and smiled he then wiped his brow and got up. He walked over to where Elizabeth sat and threw himself down.

He sat down, his legs bent in front of him. Elizabeth looked sideways at him before saying,

"It's so romantic Will don't you think?" She rested her head on his shoulder. He looked at her and was shocked, not knowing what to do but eventually calmed down and replied,

"Yes, it is." Hesitantly he put his arm around Elizabeth and she leaned even more into him. Will turned his head and looked into Elizabeth's eyes. They both leaned in and their lips touched and a tingle swept through both of them.

AN: What will happen next? Will someone land on the island and break them apart or will they............? Find out next time on Tropical Island.
