Chapter 8: Damn Reverse Psychology

Thank you for the reviews I am glad you enjoy this. So with out any suspense or long AN's enjoy this Chapter and leave a review!


Once upon a time Captain Jack Sparrow made the mistake of sending a letter to Lizzie's father wishing him happy 200th birthday instead of 60th.

She was so mad when she heard of his letter she took his privet stash of rum to celebrate the wedding of their friend Ana-Maria. Jack did not know this and when he went to find rum on his ship it was all gone.

So they had to wait three weeks to reach a port. Jack learned the lesson of sending prank letters.


"I mean come on think of it as a small getaway from the hard to do planning of a wedding." Lex persisted ignoring the looks she received from her future grand parents who did not know that yet.

"It would be nice to get away, my father has been doing most of the planning anyway, although he really would prefer if I married James. " Elizabeth finished the last statement to her self but looked to Jack.

"Hey and we can even bring the whelp along! Ye can considerate a pre-honeymoon-wedding present from ye ol' friend Jack what did you say luv?" Jack said as if inviting the future married couple along was all his idea. However that is not what caught Lex's attention as much as inviting the black smith along.

'Not good!' Lex thought but before she could think of a plausible excuse to not invite turner, Elizabeth accepted the offer.

"Alright Jack one last adventure on The Black Pearl before matrimony sounds wonderful. I shall inform Will and leave a note for my father and James." Elizabeth said as she sat at her small vanity and began to write.

"Take ye time on the note luv, me and the little scallywag here will go and get the eunuch." Jack said pulling Lex by the back of the stolen cloak to the open balcony window. Lex sighed but complied thinking of a way to make the turn of events work to her advantage.

'Yeah, good luck with that.' Lex's sarcastic mind supplied. Internal monologue was starting to give Lex a headache.

"Jack he is not a eunuch!" Elizabeth said giving Jack a disapproving look.

"So you would know from personal experience then." Jack retorted giving Elizabeth a sly smile. Elizabeth threw a brush at him and Lex felt like crying.

After a few more verbal retorts, other effects thrown and a meeting time and place established Lex and Jack made their way down the balcony faster then going up. They both went straight to the black smith; however Jack noticed that Lex was not looking so happy. But having no idea how to handle women and their mood swings in general, he decided not to comment on it besides all in all his trouble would only get him a slap. Jack's hand went to his cheek in reaction to feeling the phantom sting.


Will was working on another sword as the two snuck in. Jack was pleased to see nothing had changed from his last visit to the smithy. Same old donkey, same old drunk in the same old corner and same old Will Turner working away; just like old times.

"Has ever one ever told you all work and no play makes ye William a very dull boy." Jack let the hood of his cloak slide off as Will turned in surprise.

"Jack is that really you?" Will smiled and approached Jack and gave the Pirate a firm hand shake.

"It's so good to see you! How have you been?" Will asked, and then he noticed Lex standing behind Jack.

"You again, you're with Jack?" Will exclaimed; her words earlier left him confused and suspicious.

"Sad I know, sorry about earlier I just wanted to distract you so I could steal this." Lex showed him the dagger she had stole. Lucky thing she did steal other wise it would have been a hell of a problem to explain to Jack what she was doing at the smithy in the first place.

"Clever girl." Jack complemented and Lex smiled and blushed at the words.

"Thanks Captain that's the nicest thing you said to me since we met." Lex said, Will just took back his dagger and placed it in its proper place. Lex made no fuss over it she could always steal another.

"It's the first thing ye done that deserved a compliment m'dear." Jack said then turned to Will, a business like persona over coming Jack's demeanor.

"Will, your soon to be blushing wife has agreed to my offer of a pre-honeymoon trip aboard the Black Pearl around some desirable location. We expect you at the docks in an hour savvy." Jack's tone demanded resistance to his offer but Will Turner was known for being dafter then others.

"But we can't just leave! We have the weeding to plan and responsibilities to attend, myself and Elizabeth can't go on a pre-honeymoon it would be a scandal." Will argued. Jack rolled his eyes and Lex saw an opportune moment.

"Maybe he's right Jack maybe we can leave him here to deal with the wedding and stuff while Elizabeth can come and help us with the venture." Lex thought Will would agree with her, however Will just did the opposite which was not her intention.

"On the Pearl by her self for some hatch brain plan. I do not think that would be wise, if she wants to go then I will accompany her."

"But…" Jack shoved Lex aside and smiled charmingly in Will's direction.

"Now Lex m'girl if Will wants to go and see to the protection of his bonnie lass he can." Jack started to push Lex toward the door and shouted over his shoulder, "See you in with in the hour Tuner!"


'This is not supposed to happen.' Lex's mind screamed.

"Well done Lex. Ye succeeded in getting Will to comply faster than Gibbs can empty a bottle." Jack moved ahead and Lex followed not happy about the new turn of events.

"Was never my intention Captain." Lex mumbled, Jack did not hear.

'Plan was blown, have a month to get Jack and Liz together and to make matters worse I have to make up a fake location of treasure and deal with Will Turner…I'm in such trouble. I knew I should have paid attention in history class.' While Lex was having her internal monologue she numbly followed Jack to the docks.

When they arrived the crew was ready to set sail Elizabeth was already on board and Jack was eager for coordinates to the great bounty Lex had promised. Life could not get any worse at that point, but life is quite funny at proving a person wrong.
