Chapter two: the black pearl returns

It was the morning after Elizabeth had been taken and Will was preparing a ship to find Jack Sparrow.

"Can I come?" Danielle asked

"No" Will replied, not looking up from a map.

"Why not?" Danielle asked

"Yes, why not?" A male's voice said behind Danielle, she turned around to see who it was.

"UNCLE JACK!" She ran over and hugged her uncle (not her real one though)

"Hey, lil' lady" He said ruffling her hair.

"My name's Danielle and I am NOT a lady" She replied, taking his hand off her head.

"Could've fooled me" Jack said, looking at Will.

"What brings you to Port Royal? We were just about to go looking for you" Will told him.

"I have to warn Elizabeth" Jack said simply, looking around for her, "Um, where would she happen to be?"

"You're too late, the pirates took her last night"

"Oh, well I got here as fast as I could, man's gotta make a few stops for rum, 'asn't he?"

Will sighs "Well, because you're here, you might as well be of some use then?" Will pointed to the luggage on the ground.

"What?" Jack asked, looking confused.

"We need help packing" Danielle told him.

"Fine, but one thing, we are not taking your lil' ship, we're taking the Black pearl and, the rum"

"The Black Pearl? I've always wanted to go on that!" Danielle said excitedly

"The Black Pearl?" Will repeated "But I've nearly finished packing this ship"

"Well you're going to have to unpack the ship" Jack said, smiling, "AND DON'T FORGET THE RUM!" Jack said with Danielle miming the last part along with him behind his back.

"So, can I come?" Danielle asked again.

"Yeah, why not?" Jack said with a grin before Will could say anything.

"Cool, I've go pack my stuff" She said while Will gave a look that Jack could only understand.

"Remind me to kill you later" Will said as Danielle ran off to fetch her stuff.

"Will do" Jack replied with a grin.

"Well help me unpack then!" Will said

"How 'bout, no?"

"You said you would!"

"So I lied"

"You better help me. I need to save Elizabeth and probably your ass"

"Why does my ass need saving, 'eh?"

"Well, if the pirates are awakened then your ass will need saving along with the rest of the worlds"

"Well, actually, Elizabeth's won't need saving because she'll be...." He stopped when Will gave him that look, "Good point, I'll help you pack then"

"Where's the crew" Will asked with a frown, "Have they deserted you again?" he said with a smile

"No, they're parking the boat. Ship" He said correcting himself

"Where have you lot been?" Will asked

"Oh, you know, here and there"

"You've been stealing rum again, haven't you?"

"Is it really that obvious?"

"Yes"

"Well then, yes we have been but how the 'ell do ya 'spect a man, such as myself, to survive?"

"You survive on rum?" Will asked

"Yeah! Me and Elizabeth survived on rum that time we were marooned on that godforsaken island, until she blew the whole lot of it up, that is"

"You two survived on rum?" Will asked in disbelief

"Yeah" he said again.

Danielle came running towards them with a small bag with her possessions inside and a sword.

"Ready to go?" She asked "Mum's not going to find herself, you know"

"Yeah, we've just got to pack this stuff onto the other ship" Will told his daughter

"You can help" Jack said to Danielle.

"But-"

"Like you said, ya Mum isn't going to find herself" Jack said

"Fine" Was all she said before she grabbed some blankets and walked towards the Black Pearl.

"So, how much rum have we got?" Jack asked

"Ten bottles" Will replied

"TEN! God, you're lucky we've got some more on board! What planet are you from?" He said "Ten?" he said, manly to himself and shaking his head.

"Well my main priority is to rescue Elizabeth, not having as much rum as I can find"

"So, what have you got to eat then?" Jack asked, changing the subject.

"What? First you ask for rum and then food? I'm not running a restaurant"

"Well you should, you get lots of money from that" Jack said and continued "That's right; I'm helping, so you should be grateful. So, are we nearly finished?"

"Almost, you can take those to the ship and we'll be finished" Will said

"And ,Will"

"Yes?"

"DON'T FORGET THE RUM!"

"Fine, you take them and I'll take these" Will said taking the blankets from Jack's arms.

"Fine" He said picking up the rum.

Together they walked towards the Black Pearl and put the rest of the luggage on the ship.
