Well folks, after about 2 months of delaying, I have finally typed up the LAST CHAPTER OF THIS STORY!tear yes, I know it's over but I'm working on a whole different POTC fanfic. It has nothing to do with this story but I do hope you find it interesting coughits about vampirescough
Ummm....what else to say....I apologize profoundly at the LONG delay and I give you all permission to hit me over the head with a metal object(Your choice). ALSO...I apologize if this chapter is crappy in the grammar areas, I am posting this one with out getting someone to beta it first.
One more thing, I will think about writing a sequel to this, but it depends on how much attention I get from this, or how many people think I should write another one.

Chapter 16 Reunited
"Thank you." Megan commented blankly to the cashier at the local grocery store, as she left with some eggs and orange juice for breakfast the next morning.
For the past few weeks, she had been trying to keep busy so she would not think of Jack. So far it was somewhat working. She cleaned the house, painted the back porch, and cleaned out the rain gutters. Still, silently at night, Megan would creep up to the roof so gaze upon the brightly shining stars, and sometimes, would cry.
Her tears were those of sadness, of loneliness. She tried so desperately not to cry, but the emotions often overwhelmed her. Megan would find herself smiling less and less every day, finding fewer things amusing, or blissful. Her mother and younger sister were worried about her. She didn't even have the will to argue with either of them anymore, just agreed to whatever they said.
Megan walked slowly home, up the road, which led to her two storey house on top of a hill, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. A warm, gentle breeze picked up, blowing her silky black hair into her face. Brushing the strands out of her face, Megan caught sight of a glint out of the corner of her eye. Turning her head, she saw a glimmering light behind some welted rose bushes.
"I wonder what that could be," she said to no one in particular.
Cautiously, Megan stepped towards the shimmer, making sure no cars were nearby. She walked through the bush and marveled at the sight that lay in front of her.
It looked like what would appear to be a large hole in the ground. Except instead of the hole gradually getting darker, the hole shone with the utmost of light. Looking around her, Megan spotted a stone and quickly grabbed it and threw it into the hole. She listened intently, but never heard the rock land. Megan was started to get a little afraid of what she had stumbled upon. She slowly began to back up away from the hole, as if something would pop out of it at any moment.
Suddenly, the ground began to shake violently and streams of light shot out of the hole, piercing the warm evening air. The soil began to crack around Megan and, just like in the movies; a large crack went right between her legs. Before she had time to even think, the crack split and more light flowed out of it, and Megan could no longer keep her balance. She fell into the brightness, uttering a piercing, high-pitched scream as she went.
As quickly as it had begun, the cracks in the ground began to close up and the light dulled once more. The ground kept on moving and shifting about, until the hole completely disappeared and it just looked like a rather large clearing. The echo of Megan's scream still filled the air as the grocery bag fell to the ground and all of the eggs broke and leaked out of the carton.

Jack stood at the Helm of his ship, the Black Pearl , rather bored. It was a typical late summer night in the Caribbean, hot, sticky, and a beautiful sunset. He wished he had Megan there to share the mystical sight with him, but sighed as he came to the decision that that could never be.
"An' really bad eggs..." he sighed as he took a look at his compass and adjusted the wheel.
Nothing exciting was going on in the Caribbean lately. Will and Elizabeth were happily together back in Port Royal, and Jack and his crew had defeated the most threatening of pirates in the Seas. They already had all the treasure they could ever need, and nothing exciting was going on in any of the villages that the crew could ruin.
Jack supposed that they could sail to Tortuga to get extremely drunk, and flirt with the prostitutes, but that had suddenly lost its humor. Now the thought of that just seemed so low. He couldn't really believe that he used to find so much pleasure in that sort of thing. He guessed being with Megan really did change him. It's amazing what you could do for someone you love, he guessed.
Jack was so caught up in his reverie; he didn't notice a strange light in the sky, glinting extremely bright. It wasn't until he heard an earth-shattering scream, and a girl drop out of nowhere that he clued in as to what was going on.
The girl landed into the Caribbean water with a soft splash, and a few short seconds later, surfaced whilst sputtering for air. Jack blinked at the sight, attempting to comprehend what had just happened.
"'Ey! Are you okay there lass?" He called out to the rather disoriented young woman.
"Uh, yeah, I'm fine. Could you help me up there?" she shouted back.
Jack thought he recognized the voice, but he wasn't sure. He quickly grabbed a rope and tossed it out to the girl. She eagerly grabbed a hold of it and Jack hauled her in. As she fell upon the deck, her black hair fell into her face. Something clicked in Jack that he was surprised that he didn't figure it out earlier.
Gently brushing the hair out of the girls face, Jack whispered ever so quietly, "Megan, luv?"
The girls head snapped up at the sound of her name and a wide grin appeared across her face. Her eyes sparkled as she exclaimed, "JACK!!!" Then she flung herself upon him.
Startled by Megan throwing herself on him, Jack grunted and fell backward, her body on top of his thus making his clothes rather damp. Before he knew what was happening, he found his lips pressed against hers, and soon it bloomed into a rather romantic kiss.
When the two came up for air, Jack held Megan at arms length, not quite believing that she was here with him. He studied every inch of her face, the tears shimmering in her eyes, the shape of her eyebrows, the width of her smile, everything.
"Wha' are ye doin' 'ere, luv?" He questioned her, breaking the silence.
"I don't know , one minute I was looking down a hole, the next I was falling out of the sky into the ocean. But who cares Jack, I'm with you now!" she gleamed.
"Yes, I know, luv. But I'm jus' a wee bit curious as to 'ow you got 'ere, in the middle o' the Caribbean Sea."

A few days past by, and Megan had finally got the story out to Jack as to how she time-traveled back to be with him. She had become acquainted with the crew of the Black Pearl and had hit it off immediately with Anamaria.
They had made the decision together that Megan would stay with Jack, and accompany him on his many journeys. Megan figured that her mother and little sister would be able to cope with her missing, at least she hoped they could. It seemed as though Megan had a knack for the sea in her blood all along, as she quickly became accustomed with the constant rocking back and forth of the boat.
Every night, Megan and Jack made a point to sit by the helm, and watch the beautiful sunset. They knew how lucky they were to have eachother, and they never took it for granted.
Although they still weren't quite sure how they were able to travel to different time periods, the couple didn't really care. As long as they were with eachother, they were happy. The shimmering lights and very fast movement all appeared to be problems in time.

Johnny sat at his desk, flipping through old record books. It was the middle of the night and he had a very large shoot early in the morning, yet he was determined. For some reason he had figured that it was about time he researched his family history. He finally found the right page, and skimmed through the names.
His eyes stopped upon two names in about the 1600-1700's, that looked oddly familiar. There were the names of Captain Jack Sparrow, and his significant other, Megan Penney enlisted as Johnny's 6-time great grandparents.
