By the time Kate rolled off the windowsill into her room, the sun was just starting to rise. She shoved her materials into her mattresses and climbed back into bed. Then, suddenly overcome with sleepiness, she closed her eyes and quickly lulled off to sleep.

At about 7:00, Will was heading out to work. Strangely, Kate wasn't awake yet. "Very unlike her to sleep in.", He thought as he headed into town. He was a bit suspicious to find the door to his shop open a crack. He opened it slowly and called into the shop. "Hello? Is anybody here?"
"Yes, as a matter of fact I am here. And just where do you get off coming to work late? Do you know how long I've been sitting here, waiting for you!"
Will recognized that voice immediately. "Jack! Is that really you?"
"No! It's a bleeding kettle of fish! Of course it's me!"
"What are you doing here? If Norrington sees you, you'll be hung!"
Jack motioned with his index finger for Will to move closer. Will slowly walked towards the chair. When he was a few inches away from it, Jack cupped his hand around his mouth and whispered, "Then let's not let him see me."
Will rolled his eyes. "You haven't changed a bit, have you Jack?"
Jack sighed. "Now I want you to think very carefully about the sentence you just said." He paused for a second. "Now tell me what was wrong with it. I'll give you a hint; it was the last part."
Will thought for a moment, then laughed. "How silly of me to forget, Captain Jack!"
"Thank you!"
"And to think the last time I caught you hiding in here I thought you were a cut-throat, blood thirsty pirate."
"Are you suggesting that was a false assumption?"
"You know what I mean!"
"Well in any case, I didn't come all the way here just to bicker with you and end up being right anyway………No matter how much fun it may be. We've got a lot of catching up to do."
"Yes", said Will, "Twelve years is a long time."
"So how's Elizabeth? I swear, the little one looks just like her!"
Will stared at Jack for a moment, a dumb stuck look upon his face, deeply hoping Jack hadn't said what he meant to. "What?"
"No really, it's like Elizabeth shrunk and you inhabited her body." Jack stopped to think for a second, "Actually, it's quite eerie."
"How do you know what my daughter looks like? How do you know I even have a daughter!", Will glared at the pirate, "Did you sneak into our house?"
"No! Of course not! I would never do that!"
Will raised his eyebrows.
"OK, so maybe I would. But I didn't! Honestly!"
"I thought you said you were a dishonest man."
"Oh, right. Well, you see, you'll have to excuse me, I am a bit drunk at the moment. You see, I drank all the rum on me ship before setting of so the crew couldn't get at it while I was gone. I think I drank a bit too much, even for me! Been having some hallucinations since I got here! So, you see, you really shouldn't believe anything I say."
"Jack", said Will, "I'm not a simpleton. How do you know my daughter?"

DO YOU LOVE IT! Sorry that all happened so quickly, but you know how it is. Hope you liked it.
