Disclaimer: Looks like Juliet owns Will not me. :)
Chapter Four: Escape From Boredom
Juliet yawned as she stepped foot in the carriage taking her and her parents to the fort for Captain Norrington's ceremony to become the new Commodore. She would've rather been spending time with Will but he was working and he had to deliver the Commodore's new sword to Governor Swann's house.
Two years had past since the night her father caught them together. Still they stayed together and their love continued to grow. They were both 20 now and still enjoyed having fun.
Juliet baby-sat as her job and she loved it. While Will of course was still employed at the blacksmith shop. But for the past two years Will basically ran the shop on his own. His boss had recently become a drunk and slept most of the day away.
Juliet was very proud of him for what he was doing running the shop all by himself. He was proud of her too for not listening to her parents about him.
Juliet felt the carriage move and she sat back and watched the scenery go by. At least she would have Elizabeth to spend time with today.
A few minutes later, the carriage stopped at the entrance to the fort. Juliet and her parents climbed out of the carriage and walked up to the fort.
"Thomas, Diane!" Governor Swann replied as they walked up. "It's so wonderful to see you!"
"It's wonderful to see you too," Judge Roland replied shaking his hand. Juliet saw Elizabeth and smiled.
"Elizabeth!" Juliet called. Elizabeth smiled and walked over to Juliet.
"Juliet, how are you today?" Elizabeth asked.
"Alright right now, but later I think I'll really be bored. Are you alright?" Juliet asked seeing Elizabeth's strained face.
"My maid tightened my corset a little too tight I believe. I can barely breathe," Elizabeth said taking a sharp breath.
"I know how that feels. I was put in that situation once before. And it hurt," Juliet said. Elizabeth released a breath and smiled.
"Well, let's get this over with," Elizabeth said. The girls walked over to stand with the bystanders. The boiling sun made it even harder to breathe in the corsets and the girls pulled out their fans.
In the meantime Will, was walking along the path back home. He started to open the door when he got an idea. He knew how bored Juliet would be at the ceremony so he decided to go save her from it.
Will made his way to the fort. He could hear the music playing as the ceremony started. He walked passed the entrance and looked inside. He could see Juliet standing there talking softly with Elizabeth. He smiled and watched her. He knew he was close enough to call her so he did.
"Jules!" he whispered loudly. Juliet turned towards the entrance.
"Will, what are you doing here?" Juliet asked.
"You want to be saved from boredom?" Will asked. Juliet smiled. She nodded and took Will's hand.
"Wait, what am I going to tell my parents?" she asked. Elizabeth walked over to them.
"I'll cover for you. Go have fun with your boyfriend," Elizabeth said. Juliet smiled and hugged Elizabeth.
"Thanks Elizabeth. See you later," Juliet said.
"No problem, go have fun. See you soon," Elizabeth said. They waved bye and Juliet and Will rushed down the path.
"I need to stop by my house for a second. Can we?" Juliet asked Will.
"Yes," Will said. They walked towards her house to do what she had to do.
Meanwhile, who do you think showed up in the town of Port Royal at this time? That's right Captain Jack Sparrow. He walked towards the docks to where the Interceptor and the Dauntless were.
He walked drunkenly towards the Interceptor and passed Murtogg and Mullroy. They jumped up and stopped him.
"This dock is off limits to civilians," Murtogg replied.
"I'm terribly sorry. If I see one, I shall inform you immediately," Jack said. He moved to go around them but they blocked him again.
Jack pulled back and looked at both of them. "Apparently there's some sort of high toned and fancy to do up at the fort, eh? How could it be that two upstanding gentlemen such as yourselves did not merit an invitation?"
"Someone had to make sure this dock stays off limit to civilians," Murtogg replied again.
"It's a fine goal to be sure. But it seems to me," Jack started trying to go around them again. "A ship like that, make this one here a bit superfluous really," he said motioning to the Interceptor and the Dauntless.
"Oh, the Dauntless is the power in these waters true enough. But there's no ship that can match the Interceptor for speed," Murtogg explained. Jack put a finger up to his chin in thought.
"I've heard of one. Suppose to very fast, nigh uncatchable. The Black Pearl," Jack said narrowing his eyes at the two.
They stifled laughter. "Well, there's no real ship that can match the Interceptor," Mullroy said. Murtogg turned to him.
"The Black Pearl is a real ship," Murtogg said. Jack listened in as to see where this was going.
"No, no it's not," Mullroy said.
"Yes it is, I've seen it," Murtogg replied.
"You've seen it?" Mullroy asked.
"Yes," Murtogg replied. Jack stared at them.
"You haven't seen it," Mullroy retorted back.
"Yes, I have!" Murtogg said. Jack rolled his eyes.
"You've seen a ship with black sails, that's crewed by the damned and captained by a man so evil, that hell itself, spat him back out?" Mullroy asked.
"No," Murtogg said sheepishly.
"No," Mullroy said. He turned back to Jack who smirked.
"But I have seen a ship with black sails," Murtogg said. Mullroy turned back.
"Oh, and no ship that's crewed by the damned and captained by a man so evil that hell itself spat him back out could possibly have black sails therefore couldn't possibly be any other ship then the Black Pearl, is that what your saying?" Mullroy asked. Meanwhile, Jack walked away and onto the Interceptor.
Murtogg smiled. "No."
Mullroy turned back. "Like I said, there's no 'real' ship, that can match the Interceptor." They discovered Jack was gone.
They looked and saw him at the wheel of the Interceptor. He was moving slightly.
"Hey! You! Get away from there!" Murtogg said rushing onto the ship. Mullroy followed him. Jack looked at them both.
"You don't have permission to be aboard there mate!" Mullroy said. They pointed their bayonets at Jack.
"I'm sorry, it's just, it's such a pretty boat. Ship." Jack said correcting his mistake.
"What's your name?" Murtogg asked.
"Smith or Smithy. If you like," Jack asked moving to hold onto one of the ropes.
"What's your purpose in Port Royal, Mr. Smith?" Mullroy asked.
"Yeah and no lies!" Murtogg said.
"Well then, I confess. It is my intention to commandeer one of these ships, pick up a crew in Tortuga. Raid, pillage, plunder, and otherwise pilfer my weasly black guts out," Jack said.
"I said no lies," Murtogg said.
"I think he's telling the truth," Mullroy said. Jack lowered his brow.
"If he was telling the truth he wouldn't have told us," Murtogg said.
"Unless, of course, he knew you wouldn't believe the truth even if he told it to you," Jack said confusing them.
Murtogg and Mullroy pondered that thought for a moment. Jack knew he had gotten to them.
