Summary: You know how Elizabeth and Will met on the ship. But what happened in the eight years before they met Jack Sparrow?
Disclaimer: Still own the plot… nothing else…
Chapter 10- In The House and To The Town
Soon enough, the ship was docked, and the luggage packed up, and the cabins cleaned out, and the decks swabbed. And soon enough, after much of said toil, it looked as if any manner whatsoever of person, beast, or creature had yet to set foot on the HMS Dauntless.
Elizabeth and Will stood outside the house, gawking at the size and beauty of such a dwelling, one especially that was to be their home.
"Well, we mustn't just stand here! Come inside!" Elizabeth exclaimed, and they opened the door to a splendid interior. There was a chandelier hanging from the ceiling, gold candle-holders on the wall, and beautiful carpets on the floor. "Wow…" they said in unison, and once again, they were left gawking.
"To the rooms, come on!" Will said, and they went through all the rooms, until finally, they got to their bedrooms.
"I take this one!" Elizabeth exclaimed, rushing to the room on the left of the upstairs hallway, while Will went to the other.
"Come look at the view!" Will exclaimed from his bedroom window, and Elizabeth rushed over.
"You can see everything," she said, "the trees, the water, the docks,"
"And down there's the town!" Will said excitedly. "Let's go!"

Will and Elizabeth, after much pleading, had finally been allowed by Governor Swann to go down to the town by themselves, seeing as he was very busy, and Norrington had already been called out on duty.
"Hurry up, Will!" Elizabeth shouted as she ran along the path.
"I'm coming!" he shouted back as he ran to catch up. He was just getting ahead, and Will looked back at Elizabeth, and opened his mouth to say something.
But he hadn't time, for he suddenly bumped into a stranger, unseen until he had been bumped into. "Excuse me, I didn't-" Will started.
"No problem, boy," the figure said as he helped Will up.
"Will! Are you alright?" asked Elizabeth as she ran up to him.
"Fine, I'm fine," Will replied as he stood up.
"I've never seen you around here before. Neither of you. Did you just come to settle here?" the man asked.
"I'm Elizabeth Swann, the governor's daughter," Elizabeth said. "And this is William Turner, and he's staying with us."
"Well, I'm Mr. Brown, the blacksmith here." the man said. "Say, how old are you, William?" he asked.
"Thirteen, sir," Will replied.
"Hmm, perhaps you should ask the governor about starting a job at the shop. I'm in need of an apprentice," Mr. Brown said.
"I'll ask, sir," Will replied. "We were on our way into town just now. I'll look for the shop," he said.
"Alright. I suppose I'll see you both soon," Mr. Brown said as he walked off.
"Goodbye!" the two shouted after him.
"Well," Elizabeth said after a few seconds, "that's interesting. You bump into people, and get job offers!"
"Indeed," Will replied. "But we've waited here long enough. Come on!"
A/N: Hmm, I finally decided to put in Mr. Brown. First it was gonna be Barbossa, then it was gonna be Jack, then it was gonna be Gibbs, then Jack again, but I finally decided that Mr. Brown would make the most sense. It's not really an important event, he just meets Will, that's all. But…
