Chapter 4: Enter, Past

Disclaimer: I own nada.

"You invited pirates to my wedding!"

I couldn't belive my ears. This couldn't be true... and yet here was Elizabeth, hands clasped over her slim stomach, lips pursed, the edges lifted in a semi-smile, eyes opened wide. The picture of childish innocence.

"Um... yes?" Elizabeth grinned broadly, flashing white teeth.

I was not impressed.

"Your joking. Tell me, your joking!"

"I'm joking."

"Really?"

"No."

I resisted hitting her.

"Oh, come ON! Siren, I thought you would like it! You said yourself that you would love to meet my friends."

"Someday. I said I would like to meet them Someday."

"What the heck is this, then?"

"Well, I diddn't mean my WEDDING day!"

I was yelling now, eyed bugged out in rage. Okay, so yeah, I did want to meet them. Meeting pirates sounded awesome, and I was a renouned tomboy, I'd rather climb a tree that spend an hour in dance lessons. But I was still a girl! So, like many other girls, I had fantasized about my wedding day, and I did NOT picture dirty ruffians in the front row.

Elizabeth was still untouched, "Well, thats what you got. I can't turn them away now, they're arriving today."

"WHAT?"

And so, in a very Elizabeth-like show of nerves, she just pushed past me.

Oh my GOD.

It was two days untill my wedding, the party was tonight, and now this?

"What was that about." Came a masculine voice from behind me. I turned, to see Harry there.

"Harry! Oh, God. Elizabeth... she was just being Elizabeth."

"Ah. You'll find she does that alot."

"What, being Elizabeth or inviting pirates to my wedding?"

"Yeah, she told me."

I laughed and he smiled, moving closer. He brushed a stray bit of pale hair from my face.

"You know what?" He murmured, cupping my face in his hands. I looked up into his brown eyes and smiled. He was so sweet. I could get used to this... I thought, Maby someday, I will love him. But for now, I just like him. A lot.

"What?" It came out a whisper.

"You look adorable when your upset." I stepped on his foot. "Ow!" He muttered, before kissing me again. I clung to him, loving the bizarre feeling of someone's lips touching mine.

"Siren!" Mother's voice barked, jerking me back to the reality that we where, in fact in plain view of everyone. "Not in public." She hissed.

Parents.

I looked back at Harry and laughed at the look of embarassment on his face. I touched his cheek, making him look at me. "So... the Black Pearl folks will be here soon. I hope Elizabeth has something worked out something with James." I laughed and glanced at the Commodore, rigid and proper, as always, against the wall, supervizing. Harry laughed too. We both knew the way Norrington looked at our Liz. He loved her, and she diddn't love him. Poor guy. Inwardly, I promiced myself to never do that to anyone.

I was suprised at how punctual pirates could be. The Black Pearl arrived proptly at noon. They sailed under false colors - a crime in Port Royal, but they did it anyway - so, unless you saw the mannar of men on board, you would have never had known their true nature. Okay, what did Elizabeth and Will say the Captain's name was? I thought rapidly. Oh, right, Jack Sparrow, evil pirate. Jack Sparrow. Jack. Jack Canning. BAH! I mentally knicked myself, Siren, Jack dead. Gone. I know that somewhere inside you don't belive that, that e is out there, somewhere. But, if he is, he's far away, in the company of people who love him the same way you do. If he is, he's probobally forgotten you.

I teared up at the thought, but held my composure and blinked them away as I stood, ready to greet, on the docks of Port Royal. Harry stood beside me, holding my hand. I was thankful for that, because I could lean against him when lack of breath from my corset made me dizzy. He was so sweet, wrapping his arm around my waist and kissing the top of my head. James was with is, too. Along with Elizabeth and Will, who resorted to shouting and waving their arms when the Black Pearl came into the harbour. The faint roar of hello cries from the ship answered, becoming a deafening din as the ship got closer, untill Elizabeth (now on Will's shoulders) and her fiance had both lost their voices.

I saw him then, tall and handsome, at the bow of the Black pearl.

The Pirate Capitain, Jack Sparrow. At the sight of him, I heaved a sigh of relief.

Thank God, I thought. Its not him.

Muhahahaha! Cliffy. Cliffy cliffy cliffy cliffy CLIFFY! Okay, I promice you there's more than this, there's always more than this. I think I'll make the next capter a songfic, are those tacky? Too mushy? Or is fluffyness good? I am SO sorry for the crazilly long wait. My dad had been gone for SO long. And he brought the laptop computer (on which I store this story) With him. He sucks like that sometimes. Plus I've been hit with a big life-changer.

My dad's getting Married. Cool, huh?

So... REVEIW. And vote on the songfic, please and thank you. I love you, reviewers!
