Chapter Six- New Friends

Kristy was excited, she loved to sing but she was having a hard time picking out the songs. She knew that she was going to sing Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls, Nobody's Home by Avril Lavigne, (that song said how Kristy felt most of the time) and White Houses by Vanessa Carlton but other than that she was lost. She could always just leave a CD in the CD player and let them listen to that; it was loud enough that everyone could easily hear it. Kristy also thought it would be cute if Will and Elizabeth were to sing a song either solo or a duet but she would have to ask them. But before she continued with the music she had to talk to Jack, Kristy ran up on deck and found him at the helm.

"Captain, I have some questions that I hope you can answer." Kristy asked she hoped Jack knew the answers.

"Ok wha' are they?" Jack asked as he waited for the questions.

"Well, first of all what am I supposed to wear? I can't wear my normal clothes." Kristy didn't know where to find new clothes; she knew that she needed a new dress though.

"I already thought of that we can go buy ye a dress when we get to port, savvy? Ok, next question."

"Savvy, ok, where are we having the party at?"

"At the pub 'The Shady Palm', it will be us, the crew, and Elizabeth and Will of course." Jack hoped she was still going to sing.

"Oh, ok then, now I can sing with no music but it sounds better with the background music, so do you know of any musicians?" Kristy asked she was ok with it either way though.

"Sorry luv, can't help ye there, I don't know of any in Port James." Jack said, he felt bad but he knew she would sound wonderful anyways.

"Ok now last question, do you think Will and Elizabeth would like to sing?"

"Probably, I don' know though ye can ask them when we get there, we are going to Will and Elizabeth's first then shopping, so ye can ask them then."

"Thank you for all your help Captain." Kristy gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.

"Yer welcome, luv." Jack loved helping her; he usually got a kiss out of it.

Kristy ran back to the room, she had to find a song the Will and Elizabeth could sing together. She decided to listen to the Moulin Rouge soundtrack, there were some good songs, but only one worked. She wrote up the lyrics for 'Come What May' on a piece of paper, folded it, and put it in her purse. Kristy decided to take a nap she wanted to be ready for tonight. As soon as Kristy's head hit the pillow she fell asleep.

Kristy was huddled in the corner rocking back and forth, her father had just called and he was coming home from work early and he wanted the house clean and dinner ready. She knew he was in a bad mood and there was nothing she could do to change that. She heard the front door open and then slam shut. "Kristy…" her father yelled, "why the hell is the house dirty? I work hard all day to give you a nice home with food on the table and clothes on your back and this is the thanks I get?" Her father walked into the living room and stood in front of Kristy "Do you enjoy seeing me angry?" He slapped Kristy across the face. "I think you enjoy getting hit too." He grabbed Kristy be the hair and pulled her up and slapped her again. "No…Daddy...please, I'm sorry…please don't hurt me.

"Kristy, luv wake up…luv…" Kristy was being shaken awake. She was sweating and she had tears running down her cheeks. She sat up and hugged Jack.

"Shhh, luv, its ok…everything's alright." Jack was worried he was coming down to tell Kristy that they were at Port James, when he heard her yelling at someone, telling him not to hurt her. He came running in the room to find her tossing and turning, screaming, and crying in her sleep.

"I-was-so-scared." Kristy whispered in between gasps of air. Jack was there to comfort her again, she was very grateful; she didn't know what she would do without him.

Jack wondered why her father would do that to her, he hated him, and Jack didn't even know him. Kristy softly cried on Jacks shoulder for a while longer then Jack pulled her from him and wiped away her tears.

"It's alright luv, ye ok now?" Jacks eyes were full of concern.

"I'm fine now, thank you Captain." Kristy gave him a small kiss on the cheek and got up off the bed. She checked the clock and it was 2:43pm. "Captain have we arrived yet?"

"Aye, that's wha' I was coming to tell ye, so as soon as ye are ready we can go and meet Will an' Elizabeth."

"Ok just let me go to the bathroom and then we can go." Kristy went to the bathroom, checked her makeup and then she was ready to go, she walked back into the bedroom and grabbed her purse.

"I'm ready now." Kristy took the arm Jack offered her and they walked into town. Kristy had never seen anything like it, women in dresses, some in pirate attire, and some wearing hardly anything at all, men dressed in simple attire, and some also in pirate clothing. There were small shops, pubs, and houses on the left side, ocean on the right. There were chickens in the middle of the streets and drunken men giving Kristy hopeful glances.

"Here we are." Jack and Kristy were standing in front of a small blue building that had a dark blue door. Jack knocked on the door and not even a second later the door flew open.

"Jack!" A young woman with long wavy brown hair and wearing a modest green dress with a flowing skirt and gold trim around the top and bottom, she gave Jack a hug. "It's so good to see you! How have you been? Come in, come in." The woman opened the door and let Kristy and Jack in. "And who is this?" The woman gave you a warm friendly smile, she was very pretty.

"This is Kristy…" Jack didn't know her last name.

"Savitt." Kristy hated her last name it kept her tied to her father.

"Aye, Savitt, she's a friend o' mine." Jack looked at Kristy with a big grin on his face.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, I'm Elizabeth Swann soon to be Elizabeth Turner and this is my fiancé William Turner." Elizabeth was referring to the young man who had entered the room. He had brown hair that reached just above his shoulders, and he had on simple clothes, a billowy off white shirt, loose black pants, and black boots, he was very handsome.

"Jack! Good to see you and Miss. Savitt it's a pleasure to meet you." Will took Kristy's hand and kissed the top of her knuckles, she blushed.

"It's a pleasure to meet you both and please call me Kristy." Kristy thought they were very nice and that they made a cute couple.

"And please call us Will and Elizabeth, come, have a seat." Elizabeth led Kristy and Jack in the room off to the right. Kristy and Jack sat down next to each other on one couch and Will and Elizabeth on the one opposite, with the coffee table in the middle.

"So, when will you two be getting married?" Kristy gave them a warm and friendly smile, she loved weddings.

"In four days, so we are really rushing trying to make sure everything is in order. But Jack is throwing us an engagement party tonight so, that saved us some time." Elizabeth was smiling; she was the happiest woman alive. "But he promised not to get drunk and ruin everything, same with his crew."

"I remembered don' worry, and so did me crew." Elizabeth sat staring at Jack and at Kristy staring at Jack, Elizabeth knew there was something between them, she could tell in their eyes, especially Kristy's hers lit up when she looked at Jack.

"Ok Jack, but I will believe it when I see it." Elizabeth loved giving Jack a hard time.

"Savvy…Uh, I asked Kristy here to sing as the entertainment tonight is that alrigh' with ye?" Jack gave Will and Elizabeth a hopeful glance.

"Of course it is! Were just happy you found someone, we were starting to worry." Elizabeth smiled at Kristy. "Thank you for doing this, it means a lot to us."

"Your welcome, but I was wondering if you guys would like to sing a song, I know its short notice but I think it would be really cute." Kristy gave them a hopeful smile.

"That would be wonderful, we had never thought about it, but I don't think we have enough time…we could sing at the wedding though!" Elizabeth's face lit up as she said it. "Oh Will, lets sing together, please?"

"Alright, I'll do it for you." Kristy was amazed at how much love they showed each other, they actually did nice things for one another. Will kissed Elizabeth lightly on the lips.

Elizabeth turned back to Kristy. "We would love to sing at our wedding but…we don't have a song."

Kristy opened her purse and took out the paper with the song lyrics on it. "Here, see if this one will work." Kristy handed the paper to Will and Elizabeth, they read it together.

Elizabeth looked at Will "Oh it's perfect, do you like it?" Elizabeth hoped he liked the song.

"Yes, its perfect, but we don't know the tune or anything." Will looked up at Kristy hoping she would sing it.

"Oh I can help you with that." Kristy pulled out the CD player with the Moulin Rouge CD already in it. "Here this is called a CD player and it has the song on it." Will and Elizabeth looked really confused. Kristy put the CD player down on the table and skipped to the right song. Will and Elizabeth were in awe.

"What…is this?" Will asked as he picked it up off the table and looked at it closely. "I've never seen anything like it…how does it work?"

"Ok, um…well first of all it's called a CD player and it plays music like a piano would except it's on a CD." Kristy took the CD out and showed it to them. "And I really don't know how it works…but it does."

"That is so….weird." Will looked over at Jack. "I take it you already know about this?"

"Aye, I do, Kristy already showed it to me, um…she…uh…I don't know how to say it…um she's from the future." Jack didn't know how else to tell them.

Will and Elizabeth stared at Kristy with opened mouths. The future, was this some kind of joke? They both continued to stare at Kristy; well it would explain her weird clothes and the CD player. Kristy began to nod her head; she couldn't explain it to them though.

"Its true, I found her on the beach she was soaking wet and so I took her on me ship and she told me 'bout coming from 2005 and how she had no idea how she got here." Jack finished his sentence and waited for Will and Elizabeth to say something.

"Are you serious, you're…you're not joking?" Elizabeth didn't know what to believe.

"Its true I have no idea how I got here, it scared me at first but…I still don't know why I'm here." Kristy looked back at Will and Elizabeth.

"If what you're saying is true…this is amazing! You obviously got sent here for a special reason…but what could it be?" Elizabeth thought this was the most amazing thing she had ever heard, to her anything was possible, and she had already dealt with cursed pirates so why not time travel?

"Well…" Kristy didn't know if she wanted to talk about the note but she decided that maybe they could help. "When I was in the future, just before I came, I had tried on my mother's old dancing dress and shoes but with it I found this note." Kristy took the note out of her purse; she had found it there earlier. Kristy read the letter out loud:

My dearest Kristy,

I am sorry for leaving you but I want you to know that I love you and I will always be there for you! Wear this dress and shoes when you feel lost in life, they will take you somewhere special!

With all the love in the world,

Mom

P.S. Three spins should do it.

Kristy wiped away the tears; she had loved her mother more than anything in this world. Kristy felt Jack grab her hand and gently squeeze it, he gave her a small smile.

"Well, all I know for sure is that right after I put on the dress I spun around in it…so that must be how I got here." Kristy was happy she had figured out what the special place was and how she got here but she still didn't know why she was here.

"So…this place…this point in time is somehow special to you?" Will was confused why would she come to a time when she didn't know anyone?

"Well, when I was little my mom and I would always play pirates and those are the best memories I have of my mom, her having fun with me, laughing, not a care in the world, that's when she wasn't sick. She died when I was almost 13, it was horrible." Kristy began to softly cry again and Jack rapped his arms around her, he hated seeing her cry.

"Shhh, luv…don't cry…don't be sad." Jack was trying his best to comfort her.

Kristy hurried and wiped away the tears and gently pulled away from Jack. "No, I can't cry now, there is too much to do, I still have to find a dress to wear for tonight."

"Well, I can take you, it will be fun they have the cutest dresses at this store 'The Other Place' we can find you something really nice there. So when you're ready we can go if you need to use the bathroom it's up the stairs and the first door on the right, then we can go." Elizabeth was excited to take her shopping.

"Ok thank you." Kristy ran up the stairs and went into the bathroom. It was really nice inside it had a deep bath tub on the right and stone tiles on the floor a sink with a mirror above it and some shelves, with towels and shampoo and candles on it in between the toilet and the sink on the left side. She used the bathroom, checked her makeup and hair and headed back downstairs.

"…so she is staying with you? That was a very nice thing for you to do Jack, are you sure you didn't want something out of it?" Will thought Jack was up to his old tricks again.

"No, its not like that this time, she's different, I could never do that to her, I care about her." Jack sounded concerned. "She's been through a lot and I just want to be there for her."

"Wow Jack I've never seen you like this before, do you like her? I mean as in more than a friend?" Elizabeth hoped he would say yes, Kristy and Jack were really cute together.

"I think so; but I've only known her for a day so I don't really know. But I've never been like this before I feel happy and free when I'm around her and I know tha' if anything were to happen to her it would kill me." Jacks voice got quieter at the end.

Kristy didn't know what to think, she thought of Jack the same way, but in love? They had only known each other for one day! Could it be true? Kristy decided to think about it later, she had to get down stairs. She started down the stairs and heard their voices die down.

Kristy walked into the room and stood next to Jack. "Um…Captain…I don't have any money for a dre-" Kristy was cut off.

"Not to worry luv," Jack pulled out a sack full of coins. "Tha' should do it, ge' ye a couple dresses and some shoes and wha' ever else ye need."

"Thank you Captain, well are you ready Elizabeth?" Kristy asked while putting the coins in her purse.

"Yes." Elizabeth stood up and kissed Will good bye. "We will be home in a couple of hours."

"Be careful, I want you to come home safe." Will kissed the top of Elizabeth's head and her and Kristy left the house.

"Ok the store is just around the corner and they have everything that you will need." Kristy could tell Elizabeth loved to shop.

"Ok, here it is." Her and Elizabeth walked inside the store; they had tons of dresses, purses, shoes, and jewelry. "Well let's get looking."

Elizabeth went to one rack and Kristy to another, occasionally they would show each other something but they mostly kept quiet. Kristy found a red dress, it was silky and came to her calf it had an uneven hem and it was strapless, tighter fitting and it came really low on her back, it gave her a perfect hourglass figure, she loved it. Then she found a light purple dress, it had a fuller skirt and a corset top covered in glitter, it had three quarter inch sleeves and went all the way to her feet almost touching the ground. After she had tried on the dresses she went looking for shoes, she found some red high heels that had a thicker strap that went across just above her toes and it strapped around her ankle. Then she found a pair of purple high heels with a thicker strap that went just above her toes and they were almost a metallic color. She then looked for a necklace she found a simple square cut diamond necklace that was really pretty with matching earrings to wear with the purple dress and for the red dress a necklace with dangling stars and earrings to match that was just plain silver she also thought it was really pretty.

After paying for Kristy's things her and Elizabeth went back to the house they had to hurry they only had two hours to get ready.
