The Stay in Port Royal
Jack couldn't remember the last time he slept in a bed on land. The last time he was on land (now think sure land, not Isla de Muerta) he was in the noose in this very town.
As Jack lay in bed, he thought about Anamaria. What was she doing right now? Did she miss him? Did she want to go back to the Pearl? There were so many questions he wanted answered.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
As Elizabeth walked to her bedroom, she thought about how torn Jack was. He wanted to be only a pirate - not a husband. But he really loved Anamaria.
The minute Elizabeth walked into her bedroom, she said, "Will, we're going to go to Tortuga with Jack when he goes."
"Whatever for?"
"He needs us."
"Jack? Needs us? That's a good one Elizabeth. He's never needed anyone."
"Well, he needs us now." She said as she undressed and put on her nightgown, Will watching. Then, she continued, "He needs my help and if you don't want to go, don't. But I am."
"You never lost that sense of insistency. I was sure after all of the pirate business you would be done being one yourself," Will said, getting up from their bed from reading. He walked to Elizabeth and put his arms around her. She rested her head on his shoulder - content just in that way.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Anamaria was getting ready for bed. To her, it seemed weird to be on land. She felt out of place. After being gone for three weeks, she had really got used to her sea legs.
"I really truly miss the Pearl. Come to think of it, I miss Jack too" she thought to herself.
Anamaria also had many questions she wanted answered. Where was Jack? What was he doing right now? Did he miss her?
"Awe, Jack. I remember ya pulling me asked wondering if coming here was really what I wanted, but it's now. Come back for me. We can go pillaging together" she spoke, out loud, to herself.
Anamaria didn't sleep well that night. She was having nightmares about Jack.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Elizabeth awoke with the sun the next morning. She got up, quietly, letting Will continue his slumber. She put her robe over her nightgown and went downstairs, only to find Jack, sitting at the kitchen counter.
"Why, Jack. What are you doing up so early?"
"'Lizabeth, pirates don't sleep but a few hours a night. I was up before the sun was."
"How did you sleep?"
"Restlessly. I had dreams about Ana."
"Jack, I don't know what to say. You need to tell her how you feel. And just so you know, I'm going back to Tortuga with you. Will still hasn't decided to go or stay. I've never been to Tortuga."
"Um, no. You're not going back with me!" Jack exclaimed.
"And why's that?"
"'Cause, ye don't need ter be messing with pirates again. Stay here, safe, with Will."
"I've made up my mind and I'm not changing it. You helped me. Now I'm going to help you."
"Fine. Are all women this way? If ye are, forget my feelings for Ana."
"Jack, Will asked me the same thing when I said I was going with you to Tortuga. 'You never lost that sense of insistency. I was sure after all that pirate business you would be done being one yourself.'"
"Hm. He has a point though, 'Lizabeth."
"When are we leaving?"
"Sundown. Until then, I'm going to hit the town. Haven't seen this place for a few weeks."
"Jack, stay away from the fort."
"Aye, 'Lizabeth."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Jack strolled Port Royal that day.
Port Royal: A quaint town with many shops and houses. Jack didn't go into any places, just in case.
When he got back that night, he asked Will, "Are ye going with me an' 'Lizabeth to Tortuga?"
"I believe I will be joining you. I don't really feel like leaving Elizabeth to you. I heard about what you tried on the damn island."
"Did ya now?" Jack asked, in awe. "I had had a bit o rum, you know."
"You'd try it again though. It's just like you to do that" Will said, laughing.
"Whatever you say. We're leaving in an hour."
"What?!" Will yelled, surprised.
"Leaving. One hour. Get ready and be ready by then."
"Aye, aye, Captain!" Will shouted.
Moments later, Elizabeth appeared. Peaking into the room she said, "What is going on in here?"
"Oh, I was just telling Will we're leaving in fifty-eight minutes."
"Why fifty-eight minutes?" Elizabeth asked, puzzled at the odd time.
"It's going ter be fifty-fife by the time you start getting ready!"
Will and Elizabeth started hustling around at that. Jack chuckled to himself at the sight.
An hour later, they were ready to go. They went down to the dock, got into the rather small boat, untied it, and were out to sea once more.

Another chapter! Three in one weekend. That's a record for me! I'm loving your reviews and I'm glad you like this story. I'm thinking it's kind of stupid, but that's 'because I'm writing it. Please, keep reading and reviewing. I can't guarantee I'll have anything up before the 26th, so enjoy this chapter!
Also, go read "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Jewel of Deception" by DemonicLittleGirl. It's an awesome story. Very long, interesting, and may never ever end! Hehe. She's a great writer!
Disclaimer: Must I put this in every chapter?! I don't own POTC. Wish I did - never will. I only own the story line - which isn't very good. I wish I owned Captain Jack Sparrow and Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann and Anamaria - but I don't! ::Runs away to go cry her eyes out::
