Two months passed. Dom found himself in Port Royal and decided to call on Danielle Turner. He wanted to learn more about Elsa and hopefully she could help him.
To his disdain, he learned that the Turner's were attending a special promotional ceremony and they wouldn't be back until later that evening.
He had to get back to the ship, though. But as he was turning to leave the Swann estate, he felt someone watching him. Quickly he drew his sword and spun around too see a young man, around his own age it seemed, glaring at him.
Unbeknownst to Dom, it was Jimmy.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?" Jimmy asked, looking distrustingly at the stranger, his hand on his sword.
"Don't worry, I'm not a thief," Dom explained, slackening his grip on his own weapon. "I'm looking for Danielle Turner."
Jimmy's heart leapt. "Who are you?" he demanded again.
Dom sensed, from Jimmy's defensive state, that this was a close friend of Danielle's-or more. He held up his hands and smiled.
"Dominic Andrews. I'm not here to ask of Danielle, I'm here to ask of Elsa Sparrow."
Jimmy sighed with relief. "Good thing, or I would have had to kill you," he laughed slightly, his hand leaving his sword.
"Are you and Danielle...?" Dom started.
"Well, yes...but then again no. Our folks would slaughter us if they knew."
"Ah, a bit like Miss Sparrow and I," he smiled. He sat down on the garden wall and motioned for Jimmy to sit next to him.
"You and Elsa?"
"Yes," he sighed, thinking of her. "You know her?"
"From the stories Danielle tells. Though, I did meet her recently. She's lovely. Very kind. She helped me with my relationship," smiled Jimmy.
"We seem to be two lovesick men pining over women we probably will never be able to have nor deserve to!" Dom exclaimed. "What's your name?"
"James Norrington the second. Friends call me Jimmy. I much prefer that name actually."
"May I?" Dom asked politely.
"'Course. As long as you're not here to court Danielle Turner, you're a friend!"
"Fine by me. My heart belongs to another."
The two sighed simultaneously.
"Love! Don't you despise it?" Jimmy laughed.
"No, I love it," Dom sighed. "I just wish we didn't have to keep everything so secret."
"Same here."
"Our fathers hate each other, so it's extremely difficult to keep in contact with her."
"The life of a pirate!" Jimmy said, amused. "Must be fascinating."
"Aye," Dom smiled. "It's a strange life as well. Always somewhere different, always ready to fight. Keeps you alert, yes. But it does get to you at times." He sighed again. "How is the life of a Commodore's son?"
"How did you-?"
"Pirates research everything. But really-how is it?"
"Demanding," he answered. "Something is always expected of you. Especially having a father so high in the ranking of the Royal Navy. Though, it's a life, I suppose."
They sat for a while, then Dom said, standing up, "I really should go. I have to check in with the crew. Would you-?"
"Of course, Danielle should be home within the hour. And you're in luck, Dominic. Elsa's in town."
"She is?" Dom asked, excitement in his usually calm voice.
Jimmy nodded and said, "She's visiting the Turner's for a while."
"Thank you, Jimmy," Dom said, shaking his hand. "Best of luck to you and Danielle!"
With those words, Dom started on his way to the docks, and Jimmy waited for Danielle's return.
When the Turner's finally came home, Danielle was, luckily, behind Elizabeth and Will, so Jimmy easily caught her attention.
"Will? Elizabeth? I left one of my books in the back garden. I'll meet you inside in a minute."
The couple nodded and disappeared into the house.
Danielle motioned Jimmy to the back of the house and he followed her silently.
"What are you doing here?" Danielle whispered.
He kissed her before answering, "Dominic Andrews stopped by today."
"No way!"
"Yeah," he said kissing her again.
"What did he say?" she asked, kissing him back.
"He wanted to talk about Elsa."
"She's here! How did he not know she was here?"
"Don't know."
"Danielle!" Elizabeth called. "Could you come in now?"
"Coming!"
Danielle ran into the house, leaving Jimmy very unhappy.
