Chapter Two: Debutante

Juliet smiled at her reflection in the mirror, she was actually very happy to be in a corset tonight. It was her debutante party and she was excited. She twirled around in her purple dress and faced the door.

Juliet raced down the stairs and out the door before her mother or father could stop her. She just had to see if Will was almost done getting ready.

She ignored the carriage taking her to the governor's mansion and walked down the street. Since her and Will's little romantic happening in the blacksmith shop just days ago, she had been trying to control her closeness to him. But she couldn't help it, she liked him too much.

"Will?" she called going to his little apartment above the blacksmith shop. "Will where are you?"

"I'm in here Juliet," he said from his bedroom. Juliet walked into his room and stopped suddenly. He stood there in a very nice outfit, definitely not third class. She smiled at him and knew he looked very handsome, but she loved him better in his regular clothing.

"Will, you look so handsome," she said. Will turned and looked her over. His eyes brightened at her appearance. He walked over to her with a smile on his face.

"Juliet, you look beautiful," Will said. Juliet smiled and blushed at the comment.

"Thank you," Juliet said. They stood there in an uncomfortable silence, which was unusual for them both. "Well, are you ready to go?" Juliet asked breaking it.

"Yes, let's go," Will said. He took Juliet's arm and escorted her out to the street.

"Practicing?" Juliet asked with a slight hint of humor in her voice.

"Of course," Will said sheepishly. Juliet laughed as her and Will walked to the governor's mansion where the debutante was being held.

Juliet's father and Governor Swann had been best friends forever and they both celebrated their daughters occasions almost sequential.

Juliet and Elizabeth Swann had been good friends when they were little, but once they turned fourteen, Governor Swann placed Elizabeth in finishing school and taught her to be a proper lady. Juliet's parents did not send her figuring they would teach her that. Since then Elizabeth and Juliet lost contact. Elizabeth had known Will a lot longer of course. He was rescued by the Governor's ship when they crossed from England. They all were still friends but not as close as they all use to be. Only Will and Juliet had remained friends.

Juliet and Will walked up the long stairway to the mansion's ballroom. Some guests had shown up but not many. Will walked Juliet up to the waiting room and they sat before they were announced to come in.

"Juliet! You left without us!" her mother yelled coming into the room.

"Sorry, mother. I wanted to walk with Will," Juliet replied standing.

"Is your dress dirty?" Mrs. Roland asked examining her.

"No, it's fine," Mrs. Roland asked.

"Mother, doesn't Will look handsome tonight?" Juliet said trying to remind her mother of another person in the room.

"Why yes he does. You look very nice tonight Will," Mrs. Roland complimented.

"Thank you," Will said. Judge Roland walked in.

"It's time to go! Let's get ready," he replied. They stood in front of Juliet and Will. They were announced and her parents walked off.

"Alright, here we go," Juliet said trying to calm her nerves. Will patted her hand.

"We'll be okay. Don't worry. Tonight all the guys will be over you trying to dance with you and stuff and you'll do fine. But, I won't be the luckiest guy in the world," Will said.

"Why not?" Juliet asked concerned. Will looked into her eyes.

"Because I won't be with the girl that I care about the most. It's you, you know. I wanted to stay with you tonight maybe for even longer," Will said. He started walking but Juliet stopped him.

"What are you saying Will?" Juliet asked.

"Never mind, let's go," Will said. Juliet started walking with him.

"And now, here is our guest of honor, Miss Juliet Roland escorted by Mr. William Turner," the announcer said. They walked down the stairs and Juliet tried smiling but she could feel that something was wrong with Will.

They reached the bottom and Will walked off. Juliet watched as he walked towards the gardens in the back of the house.

"Juliet!" a voice called. Juliet turned to see Elizabeth.

"Elizabeth, it's so good to see you," Juliet said taking Elizabeth's hands.

"You look beautiful," Elizabeth replied.

"Thank you. You do too," Juliet said.

"Thank you," Elizabeth answered. "So I saw your father allowed you to walk with Will. My father won't allow me. 'It's not proper Elizabeth for you to pick who you want.' I got stuck with Captain Norrington!"

"I'm so sorry," Juliet said. "It is great, but something is wrong with Will tonight. He seems distant."

"Maybe he needs a little love. Your love," Elizabeth replied. Juliet dropped her jaw.

"Miss Swann that is not appropriate talk young lady," Juliet said. Elizabeth laughed.

"But seriously, go see what is going on with him. I'm going to see if I can find any handsome guys myself tonight," Elizabeth said and walked off. Juliet smiled and walked out of the ballroom and into the garden to see Will.

Juliet discovered him sitting on the fountain wall looking off into the distance. Juliet walked over to him.

Will in the meantime was sitting there thinking of Juliet and how beautiful she looked tonight. He just wished he could tell her and he had been planning to tell her tonight. He looked at his hands until he heard footsteps behind him. He turned to see Juliet.

"You left the party and I wanted to see where you went off to," Juliet said stepping up to him.

"Just sitting here. I figured you wouldn't want to spend time with me today since it's your debutante. I figured you'd want to find a guy in there," Will said. Juliet smiled and sat next to him.

"Now why would I want to do that?" Juliet asked.

"I don't know, I just figured no one of your social class was allowed to spend time with mine after these kinds of things," Will said. Juliet looked at him saddened. She placed her hand on his. Will looked at her.

"Don't think that. I'm going to be your friend forever," Juliet said. Will smiled. Then he dropped his smile, he was ready to tell her.

"Juliet, I wanted to tell you this all day to day," Will replied.

"What?" she asked. "Does this have anything to do with what you were telling me before we made our appearance?"

"Yes," Will said. "What I was going to say was I care about you a lot for only knowing you two years. And I've been dreaming of you and me together for so long."

"Dreaming of me and you?" Juliet asked. She felt her nerves tingle and butterflies rose in her stomach. She was scared but she knew what he was getting at.

"Yes, I wanted to know if you wanted to be my girlfriend Juliet?" Will asked taking her hand in his.

Juliet looked up at him. A thousand thoughts raced through her mind. If she said yes, she would be happy. Her parents would be less than thrilled that she was with a man in a lower class. And Elizabeth would finally think Juliet had guts. If she said no, she would be miserable. Her and Will probably wouldn't be friends. They would both suffer from a heavily weighted broken heart.

"Juliet, now would be the time to say something," Will said. Juliet met his eyes again and smiled, she made her decision.

"Yes," Juliet said smiling. Will smiled and the weight that was holding him down was lifted. They both hugged each other.

"So, what do we do now?" Juliet asked when they pulled away. Will smiled and looked at her. He placed his hand on her cheek and leaned in. Juliet closed her eyes and their lips met.

The kiss was small at first but became passionate when Will pushed his tongue onto her mouth. He unfolded her hand and rubbed his hand over hers softly. A second later they pulled away.

"What do you want to do now?" Will asked looking in her eyes.

"Um," she started. She looked back at her debutante and smiled. "I want to go dance." She pulled him up and they walked back in the ballroom.

They started dancing and Juliet caught Elizabeth's eyes over Will's shoulder. Elizabeth smiled and gave a thumbs up. Juliet smiled back ecstatically. Then turned her attention back to Will. Will kissed her cheek softly and pressed his cheek against hers.

They stayed together the whole night just dancing and are together after becoming a couple.
