Reviewers: LUV YA'LL

"What are ye laughing at?" I said startling her.

"Memories I wish I could forget." She told me.

"I know what happened."

"God damnit, Will and Liz have big mouths."

"Yer telling me. Do ye wanna tell me what 'appened in yer own words?"

"Not really but I have a feeling you're going to make me anyway."

"Yer right." I said frowning at her sad smile.

"Hugh DiFrancesco was the man of my dreams. He was kind, adventurous, down to earth and…funny. He was the only man who treated me how I wanted to be treated but then Andria came along and ruined everything." I nodded. "It was our wedding day and I wanted to see the church but when I opened it I saw Andria and Hugh at the altar kissing there was clapping and I remember running out of there was fast as I could. After that, I remember being at the altar with Hugh and I threw the ring at him and ran. I didn't come back until sun up."

"Sorry luv."

"Don't call me 'luv'." She replied coldly.

"Why not?"

"Because you don't mean it." She shouted frustrated walking down the stairs.

"How do ye know I don't mean it?" I said running after her.

"You don't know what you mean!" She hissed at me.

"I mean this." I said grabbing her and kissing passionately. She squirmed around a bit but relaxed afterwards. I broke the kiss and she looked up at me with tears in her eyes.

"I can't Jack. I will not get hurt again."

"And I won't let ye walk out of me life." I said placing my hands on her waist.

"You wouldn't care! You don't know what you want!"

"Neither do you!" I said with my hands flying all over the place. Most of the time that scared people but she just stood there unafraid.

"I do so."

"No cause if ye didn't…ye wouldn't hide behind yer books, yer title or yer father!"

"JUST STOP IT!"

"No…what is wrong wif ye? Ye've been different tha past few weeks."

"It's just the sudden change. When I was 16 my father made me change so I painted on a smile and learned how to pretend."

"Then why is it so hard for ye ta realize that I love ye and I know ye love me too."

"You're right. I do, very much." I smiled and walked over to her.

"Then what's the big problem."

"I can't trust anyone anymore. The only people I've learned to trust are my father, mother, Elizabeth, Will, Governor Swann, James Norrington and your crew."

"What about me?" I asked.

"I don't know. The thing's I've read about you and how you've betrayed many. It's hard."

"Luv…will ye learn ta trust me?"

"Who said I didn't?" She smiled her breath taking smile. I smiled widely and kissed her.

"I do trust you Jack and I'll try to move on."

"I think ye already have."

"I think I have too. Wait a second, are you drunk again?" She asked annoyed.

"Not this time." I chuckled.

"Are we going to keep this a secret? At least, for a while."

"Aye. Tis a good idea."

"That's cause I'm so smart." She replied cockily.

"Ye wish."

"Jerk." She muttered into my shoulder. She looked up and I saw the glow on her face when she first met me. She was going to be fine.

"You see Jack, I'm fine." It was as if she was reading my mind. "It's just, the trouble with love is it can't tear you up inside."

"I won't hurt ye savvy?"

"Savvy. Oh Lord, you sound like Will now. Are you sure you aren't a eunuch yourself?"

"Do ye want me ta prove that ta ye?"

"Sure." I smiled pulling him down the stairs and into his room.

(Sam's P.O.V)

Wonderful, magical, amazing, beautiful. There were no words that could explain what had happened between me and Jack. In the past month so many things had happened. I had dreaded coming aboard this ship, I missed my family and most of all I despised Jack but now, as he lay next to me I realized that I loved him. I know that we only met but a month ago but…there was no other man who made me happier. Jack was everything I had every wanted. Funny, roguish, charming and he could give me the two things most men couldn't. Freedom and adventure. And what other man could make me blush and cry for absolutely no reason? None except him.

Jack yawned and opened his eyes. I smiled. "Morning." He kissed me gently.

"Good morning luv."

"Jack, about the way I have been in the past. Well, I am sorry."

"Don't be sorry ye crazy lass. After all, I did kidnap ye. Ye had every right ta be mad."

"Finally! You understand me." I joked.

"Are ye making fun of me?" He asked joking around with me as well.

"Yes…no, maybe so."

"Nice answer." He moaned. He got up and began dressing. When he was done, he turned around and handed me my clothes. "How's about ye come aboard wif me luv?"

"Sure." I said grabbing the clothes. "Um, Jack. Are you going to leave so I can get dressed?"

"Why luv? I think I saw everything ye had last night and I'll tell ye one thing. I loved it."

"Out!" I laughed.

"It's me cabin luv." Jack said sitting down and staring at me.

"Jack look!" I shouted pointing in the hallway. "It's Bucky the chicken!" Jack shot up like a bullet and looked around.

"Where?" He asked.

"He just ran down the hallway." I told him.

"I'm going ta kill tha' chicken. Stupid chicken, bit me hat." Jack ran into the hallway and looked around confused. I ran over to the door and locked it.

"SAMANTHA!" Jack yelled.

"Ha, the chicken story gets him every time." I pulled my shirt over my head and began wondering what my parents would think. I laughed.

'Samantha are you crazy? He is a pirate. What if he betrayed you or worse what if he sold you into slavery? Oh my, I can't even think of that.' Samantha thought her mother would say. I pulled my pants farther over my slim waist and tied it up with a rope. They were a bit big for my petite waist.

'HA! Sam found someone just like her. I knew she'd marry someone as low as herself. Sam's with a pirate Piper!' Antoinette would yell to Piper. 'Really Antoinette? A pirate, oh Sam, I'd always knew you'd find someone as similar as you. Dirty, rude and low.' Her sisters would say. Her father. Now, he was a different story. Honestly, I couldn't quite picture how my father would feel at the time. Would he be happy for me or angry? As I laced up my boot I realized that father would not be very happy.

'Alright. We will wait until you get back from Port Royal, until we decide who you will marry. Do I make myself clear, Sambella?'

I think when he said 'until WE decide' he meant 'until I decide.' I groaned in annoyance as Jack shot the door handle off and sprung into the room. Jack looked at me with pure anger on his face.

"Um…I love you?" I smiled.

"MATES and lady." Ana and I looked at each other.

"Lady?" Ana said. "Don't ye mean ladies?"

"Nope, the only lady on this ship is Elizabeth." Jack smirked at Ana.

"Let's get him." I whispered to Ana handing her some stones I had found in my pockets earlier.

"Now as I was saying before I was rudely interrupted…ouch!" Jack shouted rubbing his head.

"Bulls eye." Ana murmured to me.

"A stone? Where tha hell did a stone come from? Oh well, now mates the treasure is in fact dangerous to get and since I have not fully figured out where tha treasure is located on the-" Another stone had whacked Jack in his nose. "What on earth?" Jack said picking up the stone and examining it.

"My aim is as good as my cooking…and that's saying something!" Ana and I snickered.

"Something's not right. Now, before I get hit with something again I'll conclude what I was sayin'…I don't know exactly where tha treasures are located. They are scattered across the island so we'll all be going in groups of four. Jacobs, Manuel, Gibbs and Noodler ye will be one group-" Jack grew angry. "WHO'S THROWING THESE!"

No answer. The only sound was Ana and I giggling.

"So ye both think this is funny eh?"

"Yes..." I snorted grabbing Ana for support.

"It is." Ana said finishing my sentence.

"Well when we find out who is throwin' them. They'll be thrown in tha brig fer a week." Ana and I didn't care we just kept on laughing. I could hear Elizabeth giggling too.

"Nibbs, Tubby Tom, George and Torence ye will be another group." Ana and I ceased our throwing for a bit so Jack could calm down.

"Swarvy, Philips, Annabelle and Andrew ye will be together. Men, I trust ye will watch them and none of ye is ta lay a hand of Annabelle savvy?"

"Cap'n we wouldn't dream of it." Swarvy told him smiling to Annabelle. She blushed.

"Oi! Captain, I wantsa ta go with you!" Jack laughed.

"Not today me bonny lad and lastly there is going ta be William, Ana, Samantha and I together. Gents, I have agreed ta take the woman so ye wouldn't be bothered." The crew roared with laughter and Ana and I grew angry.

"Is now a good time to throw the rest?" I asked.

"YES!" Ana shouted pelting rocks at Jack. Jack stopped laughing and began yelping.

"JERK!" I shouted throwing a stone at his head.

"I was kidding." Jack moaned running down the stairs as Ana and I chased him.

"Ye are always kidding aren't ye?" Ana asked angrily.

"Only about ye two." Jack groaned. "I was kidding about tha' too."

"Sure you were." I said throwing my last stone at him. I looked at Ana and laughed.

"That cured my stress. We should do it more often."

"Aye."

"No! Not ta me at least. Do it ta Will, the eunuch won't mind." Jack yelped as another stone hit him we looked up an saw Will standing there innocently.

"What?" He asked.

"Elizabeth, look food!" I said bringing a tray of food in for her. It was lunch time.

"FOOD!" She shouted grabbing a slice of bread and swallowing it whole.

"Calm down. You're going to choke and I'm going to have to laugh."

"You are so nice." She grabbed her spoon and began eating her soup very fast. I watched her in amazement.

"What?" She asked looking at me.

"You are such a piggy." I laughed and walked out of the room dodging the bread she was chucking at me. "Will…" I smiled spotting him walking into the galley. "…wait for me." I ran up to him and we walked into the galley together.

"There is something different about you." Will began was we sat down to eat.

"Really?" I asked keeping calm. "Is it my hair?"

"No."

"Am I getting fatter?"

"NO!"

"Well then what the hell is it?"

"I don't think tha princess should be using that language." Jack said in the doorway. Ana pushed Jack out of the way and looked at me.

"Come ta think of it. There is something different about ye." Ana stated.

"What is it?" I asked impatiently. Jack looked at me and gave me a look which clearly said, 'SHUT UP.' I ignored his look and looked at Ana. "Well? Are you going to tell me?"

"You seem…happier. Like something happened to you last night." Will looked at me and suddenly grabbed me.

"Something involving you and Jack." Ana looked at Will with her eyes open wide.

"Tha' can't be right."

"It is." Jack and I said at the same time.

"WHAT?" Ana and Will said in accord.

"Ana, I think it's time that we had the talk. When two people love each other they get urges to do things to each other in a very, very…sexual way." Ana covered her ears and started yelling.

"MY EARS! ME POOR VIRGIN EARS!" Jack snorted.

"I know fer a fact yer not a virgin."

"Ye didn't count." I laughed.

"I honestly have no idea why you two didn't end up together." Jack and Ana stared at me terrified.

"I got ye." Jack said sitting beside me and giving me a kiss on the neck. "Not her." He added in disgust. Ana just gave him the finger and sat down grumpily.

"Now who am I going to pick on Jack with?"

"ME!" I said throwing my arm up. "Please Ana, I may love him but there is no way that I will stop bugging him."

"Good!" Ana said cheerfully. "Now, eat."

"Oh and Ana, promise you won't tell anyone?" I asked her.

"Promise 'er what?" Gibbs asked as the whole crew came in to eat.

"That I wont tell ye that Sam and Jack are together." Ana groaned.

"Thanks Ana." I said.

"Sorry."

"Jack? Ye sly old dog!" Gibbs said patting him on the back. Jack seemed to be enjoying this very much. "Yer lucky Sam." Gibbs told me.

"I thought he was the lucky one." I joked winking at Gibbs. He laughed and for most of the lunch break everyone was either making jokes about us or saying that it took Jack long enough to find a woman.

"Wonderful lunch Annabelle." I said smacking my lips.

"Thank you." She smiled. "Does anyone want more?"

"No." They all said.

"No what?" She asked calmly. The men sighed.

"No thank ye." I laughed.

"Pirates…having manners. Now, I've seen everything." I snorted.

"Jack," Ana said getting rather annoyed. "If ye kick me one more time ye will have no Jack junior."

"I ain't kicking ye woman!" Jack shouted. "Yer barking mad, so yer probably imagining it."

"Ye want me ta throw rocks at ye again?" Ana asked.

"No." Jack scowled.

"Well, I'm going to check on Lizzie." I said getting up.

"Aright luv, No one cares." Jack said shooing me away.

"Oh you are kind." I said with sarcasm dripping out of every word.

"Liz? Are you awake?" I asked her peering into the dark room. I looked around and noticed that I couldn't see into any corners of the room. I remembered a silly story my father used to tell me that if there were you couldn't see into every corner there was a boogeyman. I chuckled at the thought and stumbled around, trying to find matches to light the candles. I saw the oil lamp was still on but very the light was dim. I went over and turned it up higher. The next sight I saw brought chills to my spine. There was Elizabeth, pitch white with her once radiant blue eyes staring up at me accusingly. I leaned over and tried to find a heart beat but I couldn't hear anything.

"Calm down. You're going to choke and I'm going to have to laugh."

I remember saying those words to her and now she looked at me with her cold, lifeless green eyes accusing me of all this. I started to break down and I could feel the salty tears begin to make their way down my face and soon they were pouring out and over my lips.

"WILL! JACK! SOMEBODY PLEASE COME!" I sobbed into Elizabeth's chest. I heard the sound of feet shuffling and the door flung open. I looked over and saw Will staring at Elizabeth. Jack came rushing in and his eyes went wide.

"What happened?" Jack asked me.

"I don't know." I sobbed. "I don't know." Jack came over and pulled me into a big hug. Will walked over to Elizabeth's side and fell to his knees right by the bed.

"She choked." He whispered tears coming out of the corners of his eyes.

"How do ye know?" Jack asked curiously.

"I can see the bread in her throat." Will cried. He broke down right then and there and began crying right on Elizabeth's stomach.

'She choked on bread.' I thought. 'This cannot be happening…wait, if Will can still see it then maybe…" I got up and pulled Will off of Elizabeth and stuck my hand down her throat.

"Jack…call Jacobs!" I said pinching Elizabeth's nose. Jack nodded and shouted for him. I pressed my lips upon Liz and started doing mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

"This has to work." I whispered. Will was watching me. Ana came in with Jacobs and she gave out a small, terrified cry. She began asking Jack what had happened and he explained to her as she put her arm around Will and began comforting him.

"Please…" I begged. "Please, don't die Liz." I heard coughing and Elizabeth's eyes shot open.

"Elizabeth!" Will shouted hugging her. He was still crying.

"Oh Will." She moaned. "I tried to call for help but I couldn't move around or anything."

"I'm just happy you're here." He said kissing her romantically. When the pulled away Elizabeth looked around.

"Who saved me?"

"Samantha did!" Will shouted hugging me and giving me a kiss on the cheek. Elizabeth grabbed me hand and said.

"You spit in my mouth." I looked at her and laughed.

"You're welcome for saving your life!" I sobbed.

"Thank you." She said crying a bit. "Why are we crying? I am fine now!"

"Way ta go luv." Jack said in my ear.

"Thank you." I smiled.

"Have ye done that before?" Jack asked aloud. Everyone watched us.

"Yes. Quite a few times actually."

"Now I know why ye are sogood…"

"DON'T EVEN SAY IT!" Ana shouted and everyone, except Liz, laughed.

"Did I miss something?" She asked.

"Yes." I giggled. "Everyone out…I want to tell her by myself." Everyone left the room with complaints.

"Liz…" I began as I closed the door. "Jack and I are…well, together." She sat up and looked at me.

"Really?"

"Yes." I laughed at the look on her face. She was shocked, paranoid and happy.

"I'm happy for you." She said forcing a smile. I frowned.

"I can tell you don't mean that."

"I just don't want you to get hurt ok?" I looked at her confused. "I'm not saying Jack would hurt you because I could tell from the beginning he had a thing for you but what if your father was to hang him?" I looked away. I had been thinking about that a lot actually.

"That's a risk Jack and I are willing to take." I said speaking for myself and for Jack. The truth is I didn't know what Jack would do when he saw my father and the whole navy.

"Then I am truly happy for you." She said smiling and this time I knew she meant it.

Meanwhile on 'The Dauntless'…
"Has there been any word on my daughter?" Gianni asked James Norrington.

"Yes sir…several in Tortuga claim they saw a beautiful lass with Jack Sparrow. We were right, they are headed to the Jagara Islands but unfortunately, we just dropped two days behind them because of this stop." Gianni groaned and rubbed his temples.

"Thank you James for helping me out."

"It is no problem your majesty."

"Please, call me Gianni."

"As you wish Gianni." Norrington said. "Um sir, I have been meaning to ask you something for quite a while now. I was wondering if Samantha was engaged?" Gianni looked at him and shook his head.

"She is quite stubborn that one." Gianni said.

"Yes. Yes, she is." James chuckled. "Gianni, I know the timing may seem inappropriate due to the situation we are in but I was going to ask you if I could have your daughters hand in marriage?" Gianni looked at James shocked and happy.

"You want to marry my daughter? The little girl who has caused you trouble for so many years?"

James laughed. "I have grown quite fond of her. Her jokes, her smile, her laugh…you have raised her well."

"I suppose I have." Gianni frowned remember the day he got fed up with her.

'Enough is enough Samantha!" Gianni roared across the table.

"But father, he had it coming to him!" 15 year old Samantha yelled back.

"STOP! I AM SICK AND TIRED OF YOU BRINGING SHAME TO THIS FAMILY." Samantha looked at her father shocked for he had never said such harsh things to her. "FROM NOW ON, YOU WILL BEHAVE AND BE MORE LIKE A PRINCESS DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?"

"Inescapably." Samantha said on the verge of tears. She grabbed her hat and ran into her room.

"I'll admit there have been times were I haven't been the greatest towards her but isn't it necessary to be strict with your children once in a while?" Gianni asked James.

"Yes Gianni, it is." Gianni looked out at the ocean and began remember more things from the past. Some happy some unhappy.

Later that night Gianni walked into Sam's room to find her not in bed, but on her balcony staring out at the sea.

"Sambella, may I come out there with you?" He asked.

"Of course, Papa." Sam told him as if she was being forced to let him out there. Gianni sighed.

"Sam, I am sorry…" He began but was cut off by Sam.

"Look at the sea papa." She smiled. "One day, I am going to sail it and make you proud of me. I will no longer bring shame to this family." She said tears forming in her big gorgeous blue eyes.

"You have never brought shame to this family." He told her, hugging her.

"But you said…"

"I know what I said but I was angry. You had no right to attack Matteo, he made a mistake and we learn from our mistakes. I learned from the one I made tonight of yelling at you."

"Thank you father and I'm sorry for what I did." She said looking out at the sea again and instantly smiling. She had acquired her love of the sea from her grand-father who was the most famous Commodore there was. He had died when Samantha was 7 years old. He had told her many tales of pirates, treasures and the wenches. The one story he had told her almost every night was about the young twenty one year old, Captain Jack Sparrow. She had requested every night that her grand-father had told her about him. He remembered she would sometimes pretend she knew Jack and that they were to be married. He chuckled at the thought.

"Look at the stars father! They are so bright tonight." Gianni laughed and they began to talk about all the different constellations.

Another memory came into Gianni's head most instantly.

"I'll get the door Maria." Gianni told his maid. She smiled and continued on with her duties as there was another knock on the door. Gianni opened it and groaned.

"I can explain." Sam smiled. "You see father Will and I were playing around the docks when we accidentally pushed James into the water…"

"Lt. Norrington Samantha." He looked up at James and was surprised to see that he wasn't angry at all. As a matter of face he was very amused.

"Yes father, that's what I said." Gianni shook his head and listened patiently to the rest of her story. "…and when we went to help him out Will had forgotten we had been making mud-pies so Norringtons hand is now full of mud and that's the story."

"Samantha, William… what have I told you two about bothering Lt. Norrington when he is working."

"Not to bug him?" Will said. James laughed.

"It is quite alright but please; do not come near me after you have made mud pies next time…alright?" He asked Will and Sam.

"Yes sir." Will said.

"Ok sir." Samantha blushed. James winked at her and took Will back to his home with Mr. Brown. Gianni looked at his daughter who kept staring at James until he was out of sight.

"Samantha, do you like James?" She looked at her father and tried to be angry.

"FATHER! Why on earth would you think that?" She asked not looking him in the eye.

"It's the way you stare at him and they say when a girl bugs a boy, or a man in this case, it means they like them." Samantha looked at him. Her face was red.

"It does?"

"Yes it does."

"Then I guess I like him." She giggled and ran up to her room.

Gianni laughed and looked at James. "She had a crush on you when she was little."

"She did?" James asked alarmed but happy.

"Oh yes, she wouldn't stop talking about you."

James smiled. "Then would mind if she was to become Mrs. Samantha Norrington?"

"I wouldn't mind it all. As soon as she is safe, we will plan your wedding. It would be an honour for you to be my son-in-law."

"Thank you Gianni." James said blushing. "Now, we must get going and find Samantha." Gianni looked out at the sky and remembered the words his daughter had once told him.

'What would it be like to swing on a star, or walk on a cloud?' She had always wondered what it would be like. Gianni smiled at his daughter's ways of how she could bright up the room when she just walked in. He remembered the time they had invited the King of Spain over, along with his wife and son, who was Sam's age at the time. 16 he believed the age was.

'Your daughter's are magnificent.' Antonio, the king of Spain had told him.

'Thank you.' Gianni replied.

'It seems my son is deeply attracted to your youngest.' Laura, his wife, had told him. Gianni turned around and saw his daughter laughing and joking around with Emilio.

'He is a wonderful young man.' Gianni's wife, Andrea told them both. They smiled and thanked her. The two children went off into the garden and immediately, Antonio and Gianni thought it would be good to keep their eyes on the two.

'Your daughter, her name is Samantha right?" Antonio asked, following the children from a safe distance.

'Si. Your son Emilio, is a very prestigious boy I heard. He wants to go in the business of being a Commodore?'

'Yes.' Antonio told him happily. They both talked for a while following their children when they lost sight of them they began to panic.

'They couldn't have slipped away that easily! We were right there, following them the whole time." Antonio said looking around.

'You have no idea what my daughter is like.'

'Oh, do tell him father." Samantha said from behind them. They both turned around and saw Samantha and Emilio laughing.

'Children.' Antonio laughed pushing the inside the house.

'Thank you for inviting us here.' Laura said to Andrea hugging her.

'We were very happy to have you for dinner.' Gianni told them.

'You mean invite them father, we didn't eat them. We aren't cannibals.' Gianni groaned as the others chuckled. Piper and Antoinette were hugging Emilio good bye. He looked terrified. Antonio gave Samantha a hug and looked into her eyes.

'You have the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen.' He said.

'Why…thank you sir.' Samantha said happily. Piper and Antoinette scowled.

'Don't ever change.' He told her.

'There is no changing this one.' Gianni said and everyone laughed. They escorted the Restrepo family out of the house. When they were on the docks and the ship was about to set sail Sam shouted out.

'Father…look the stars are so bright!' Sam always was fond of the stars.

"The stars shine brightest only in your eyes." Antonio told her and with that they were sailing away. Soon, they were nothing but a speck of black on the horizon.

Gianni shook his head and looked up at the stars to be reminded of his daughter.

"Oh my Samantha where are you?" He said breaking down and sobbing on the deck. In his thoughts all Gianni could think of was that no matter where she was he would find her and she would once again be safe and out of harm's way.

"Sir are you alright?" Gillette asked running to his side.

"Fine Julian, I'm fine." But deep inside, he wasn't fine. In reality, his heart was breaking.

Okies…this is where we left off and since this is only 11 chapters….the freaking treasure will not be coming up until 15 and the treasure and island thing will be about 4 chapters….then, well, some interesting things may occur. xP

Jack: (runs in) Hiding…from, administrators. HERE THEY COME… REVIEW SAVVY!
