DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN POTC!

"Jack! You scared me to death! I could have shot you!" Elizabeth said putting her gun in her holster.

"You wouldn't have…you think before you act…much like meself." Jack said.

"I told you not to follow me…"

"Yes but I am a pirate, not to keen on keeping me promises." Jack said, "I don't want you out by yourself, it isn't safe, come back with me." Elizabeth nodded and together they walked back to the fire Elizabeth had built.

"Jack, can I ask you something?" Elizabeth asked as she leaned next to him on the sand, they sat around the fire, night was now upon them, and darkness had settled in.

"Go ahead luv." Jack was interested in what she had to ask, she really hadn't spoken since he found her earlier.

"Can you keep a promise? I mean you followed me, when I asked you to stay."

"Depends, I can keep one if I have to."

"Well you promised me you would always care for me…how do I know you won't leave me when the next lass comes along and steals your heart." Elizabeth said looking into the fire. Jack placed his hand on her chin and moved it so her eyes would face him.

"That is a promise I will never break…Elizabeth for once in your life…stop thinking…what does your heart tell you?" Jack said with conviction.

"My heart tells me just to give in to you."

"Then just follow your heart…" Jack then gently brought her lips to his and they kissed, it was soft and sweet. They looked at each other for a moment, their eyes meeting, completely understanding of one another. Jack laid down in the sand, Elizabeth then laid down right next to him and put her head on his chest, and they fell asleep under the stars.

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

The next morning when Elizabeth woke up Jack was still asleep, his arm over her waist, protecting her. Elizabeth realized her body ached from sleeping in the sand, she also noticed that the sky was gray, rain was immanent this day.

"Jack, wake up…" She whispered in his ear. Jack rolled over not wanting to wake up.

"Jack, come on, wake up, please." Elizabeth pleaded.

"Honestly luv, we are stuck on a deserted island…if I don't feel like getting up I don't have to, and neither do you." Jack said as he smirked to her.

"Well, it won't be fun if we are sitting out here in the bloody rain now will it? So get up and help me build a bit of shelter." Elizabeth said.

"Can't, didn't think things through did ye? First off there is nothing to cut anything with, the swords and daggers won't work, and there isn't anything to tie it up with. The only protection we have is those palms, so I suggest you sit back down with me and try and keep warm by the fire while we still have it." Jack was right, Elizabeth didn't think about all of that.

"Sorry I woke you." Elizabeth said sitting back down.

"Well, at least I woke up to something worth waking for." Elizabeth blushed.
