You Were Meant For Me

Author: williz

Summary: Will/Elizabeth focus- It's just Will and Elizabeth in a big adventure in which they meet many times. OK…I'm bad at summaries. But my story is going to be really fun. I swear! Enjoy!

"The gov'ner Will! Can you imagine how much we could get from a mansion like this!" Jack whispered to the young man next to him conspiratorially.

The two pirates were walking up the steps to the front door of the masion, when Will snapped his fingers as if he had forgotten something. He ran back to Gibbs as he was pulling away and hopped onto the seat momentarily, leaving Jack looking perplexed by the door.

"Gibbs, get some of the crew and bring them to where we left the Rockwells. Tell them to bring the two navymen to the Pearl and lock them up. Got it?" At Gibbs' "aye-aye," Will jumped off the wagon and started running back to Jack, who was already being let in the house.

"Good day, Colonel Rockwell," said the bowing manservant. "…and of course to you Lieutenant," he added.

"Good day, my good man." Will walked in and took off his hat.

An older gentleman with a very pompous-looking gray wig came down the stairs towards them.

"That's the governor, I bet…" Jack mumbled to Will.

The governor stepped up to them very jovially and smiled. "It's so very nice to be able to meet you both!"

The two "navymen" nodded their heads to the man. Jack started twitching a bit, so he reached back and scratched his collar away from his neck.

"Erm…I—am… Weatherby Swann, governor…of erm…Port Royal…" the governor said, watching Jack scratch. Will noticed and elbowed him so that he stopped scratching and glared back at the boy.

"Well Governor… Swann, was it? Yes. We are certainly honored to be here," Jack said, completely transformed from his usual roguish self. He turned to Will, who was practically white and staring at the ground in shock.

"Please excuse him, Governor. Seen a bit too many pirates for his own good at such a young age," Jack grinned to the man who smiled back.

Jack grabbed Will and shook the pirate who looked at him finally. "Jack! Swann…Weatherby Swann…father of…"

"You are…Lieutenant Rockwell, right?" Swann interrupted. "William, it is?" Will looked up at him. The color came back to his face and he smiled.

"Yes. Yes I am. Lieutenant William Rockwell, Governor sir." Will bowed to the governor as he shook his hand.

"And I am, of course, his older brother Jackson. Colonel Jackson Rockwell of the Queen's navy!" Jack piped up as he also shook Swann's hand.

"Oh…goodness Robert. Take these men's coats and hats. Do your job!" Weatherby Swann snapped at the man.

"Oh yes…sirs, please. I am sorry," the man mumbled as he took their things and hung them elsewhere. "One can hardly ever find a good manservant these days, eh?" The governor started chuckling as Will started nervously joining in. He nudged Jack who was staring blankly and not amused, and he started laughing also.

"Very true, Governor. Very true indeed," Jack answered. The governor smiled happily once more and said, "Good to see men of good humor around these parts again." Both pirates smirked at each other, then turned to the governor and grinned simultaneously.

"Father…"

The governor turned to see his daughter, gracefully walking down the steps. "Ah…good. Seems she's in better moods now," he thought, relieved.

"Ah…Elizabeth." Will's head shot up at once at her name. "Good. I'd like for you to meet our guests." He walked to the stairs and met her on the bottom, guiding her to the two men.

"Colonel, this is my daughter Elizabeth." Jack stepped up and smiled the most charming grin he could muster.

"Very please to meet you sir," Elizabeth said politely as she curtsied.

Will's mind was in torment as he looked at Elizabeth. She was beautiful! Even more so than she was the last time he had seen her. "Oh no. Very good work, Will. Excellent. Damn, I'm in big trouble," he thought.

"And let me present to you my younger brother William." Jack stepped aside to reveal Will. Will stepped forward, silently hoping she wouldn't recognize him.

"Lieutenant William Rockwell, miss." He slowly smiled as he took her hand and bent to place a sweet kiss on it.

He seemed so familiar to Elizabeth. But she shook the thought away and smiled genuinely at the boy. "It's an honor to meet someone of your high social standing, Lieutenant," she stated softly as she took her hand back.

"And of course, it's an honor to meet such a very beautiful young lady such as yourself, Miss Swann," Jack cooed to the girl.

Will nudged him and Jack turned to glare. "Wot? I was telling; her she was pretty!" Will gave Jack a look like, "WHAT ARE YOU THINKING!" and smiled back at the Swann's.

Elizabeth put a hand over her mouth to cover the giggle that was threatening to come out. Maybe having company wouldn't be so bad this time around.

"Please gentlemen, why don't we sit in the foyer and talk." He turned to his daughter and said, "Elizabeth, dearest… why don't you ask Estrella to come bring tea and rolls for these men. You two must be positively starved from your trip." The pirates smiled hungrily.

"Ah yes. My thoughts confirmed," Swann chuckled. He shooed his daughter away good-naturedly. Will and Jack followed the governor into the foyer as Jack flopped down in the chair, sighing contentedly.

Will nudged Jack's foot with his toe at his rudeness and Jack opened one eye lazily to look up at him. He shot up immediately and smiled apologetically.

"Oh no…no! Make yourselves comfortable," laughed the governor. Jack flopped right back down and Will followed as he sat on the love seat in front of the tea table.

"Must've been a long journey. You both look extremely wearied," the governor stated as his daughter strode back into the room.

"Well, captaining so many men is a tiring job, father," Elizabeth provided. She came and sat on the other side of the loveseat, making Will's heart leap.

"Indeed, dearest." The governor agreed.

Just then, Estrella entered the room with tea, followed by another maid carrying rolls.

As they set them on the table, Will grinned and thanked them.

"Yes thankyou…" Governor Swann said. "So Lieutenant Rockwell…" Will looked up from his tea. "Oh please sir, call me William," he interrupted.

"Ah… William then. How long have you been in this business. You look almost too young for being a Lieutenant." Will took a sip from his tea set it down, and looked to the governor.

"Well sir… I've been in the…family business, you could say…" Will and Jack gave each other knowing smiles. "…for about six years. Since I was sixteen."

"You've been in the navy since you were sixteen!" Elizabeth asked, taking a sip of her tea. At his nod, she put her teacup back in its saucer and set both on the table, smiling at him.

Meanwhile, Will hoped he was accomplishing his mission: to keep his face from showing any of his emotions that were threatening to overtake him when he saw her smiling.

"Oh, has Will got stories about it, too! Great stories! Why don't you tell her them, William?" Jack winked at the governor, who smiled knowingly. "The governor and I have some business to attend to."

Jack and Governor Swann left the two by themselves on the loveseat, Will feeling extremely flushed and trying desperately at finding a story to tell the beautiful, eager girl sitting next to him.

"Erm…yes. A story…Well I—or atleast…I should—well no—I…" Will stammered before Elizabeth put one of her soft hands on his rough hand to calm him down. Will flushed bright red at the contact.

"Not helping, Elizabeth. Not helping at all," his thought screamed.

"A story. What type of story would you like to hear? I have many. Six years out on the sea provides you with many a story," Will said to Elizabeth, who still hadn't removed her hand.

"Have you met many pirates?" she asked eagerly. "Oh yes, many… and I've killed most of them too. Dirty scoundrels, aren't they?" Will was very proud of his answer. A high society girl like Elizabeth must hate pirates!

Now, Elizabeth removed her hand. Her face flashed in anger. Will noticed and though, "She really must hate pirates." So he continued. "Ah yes… they are deep down in their watery graves. Not a soul to save them now… so please do not worry Miss Swann. Those monsters are gone and Colonel Rockwell and I will see to more of them meeting that same fate!" he stated proudly.

Elizabeth was indeed angry… at Will. "How could someone speak of killing human beings with such a happy heart?" she pondered.

At that moment, Jack and Governor Swann reentered to their respective spots. "And how was the story, dearest?" the governor asked. "It's a very exciting life you men must live, but very dangerous also, what?"

"Yes. Very exciting and very dangerous. Pardon me gentlemen, but I must excuse myself," Elizabeth stated a bit coldly. She smiled politely, but it seemed forced to Will. Confused, Will stood and called out to her.

"It was very nice meeting you, Miss Swann. We shall see each other again, I hope?" He smiled at her and she turned to glare, taking Will aback.

"Indeed." With that, she walked as quickly as she could back to her room, holding her skirts as she practically stomped into her room.

The governor was appalled at the way his daughter behaved. "Oh well. I'll just let her be and have Estrella speak with her. She and I will have our own little talk later," he thought grimly.

"Charming girl!" Jack said, oblivious to what just happened. He bit into his roll hungrily after drenching it in his tea.

"Lieutenant Rockwell, I assure you she… she had a bad day. It couldn't be you, surely," Governor Swann said, trying to appease the situation.

"No. It was me. I'm sure of it. I just wonder what I said to make her despise me so," Will wondered, speaking softly to himself.

"Well…" The governor cleared his throat as he paused. "…she'll warm up to you in no time. Don't you worry young William." Will turned and smiled a bit sadly.

"Would it be much of an imposition to have my room shown to me?" he asked the governor politely.

"Of course not!" Swann stated. Then he turned towards the door. "Estrella!" When she appeared, curtsying, he continued. "Show this fine gentleman his quarters! And…" he continued a bit more softly. "…find out what is wrong with my daughter, hm?"

She smiled and beckoned Will to follow her. "I hope… well I mean… what I mean is I hope I have not done anything to insult her," Will told the maid.

"Oh no sir… but just between you and me, she has a bit of a temper sometimes and let me tell YOU something! Not one man has pursued her any further once they found that out firsthand." Estrella said to the boy as they reached his room above the stairs.

"This is it sir. I hope you find it fitting of your needs." As she turned he stopped her.

"Wait!" She turned back. "Um…would it be too bold to ask where Miss Swann's room is?"

"Well, I'm going there now. It's two doors down… the room right there," she pointed.

"Ah yes. I see, thankyou very much… Estrella, was it?" He asked. "Yessir." He smiled as she walked away and he turned to his room. As an afterthought he pulled back.

"Oh…and…erm…could you tell her that… I apologize for any unrest I've caused her?"

The boy looked troubled. "What happened down there, anyways?" Estrella thought. "Of course, Lieutenant." Then the young man disappeared after a thankyou.

Estrella stepped into Elizabeth's room. Elizabeth turned from her position at the vanity and saw her old friend. She turned back and viciously continued brushing her long tresses.

"Elizabeth…" Estrella took the brush and started softly, but efficiently, combing the girl's hair.

"What caused you to treat that boy like that?" He's very troubled. He was wondering what he did wrong and wanted to apologize…"

"Oh, did he?" she interrupted. "I'm glad to know he atleast has somewhat of a heart." She finished, grudgingly.

"Don't pretend you don't think he is good-looking Elizabeth. I saw the way your eyes sparkled when you saw him for the first time. Believe it or not, I was watching from the kitchen," Estrella said matter-of-factly.

"You sneak!" Elizabeth complained good-naturedly.

"Oh alright. I admit that he is a very handsome man…but ohh is he insufferable," she huffed to her maid.

"Oh goodness, Elizabeth. What did he do? He didn't seem insufferable to me." Estrella finished combing Elizabeth's hair, set the brush down, and watched as the young girl she observed grow into a beautiful, graceful, and stubborn young woman walked to the window sill.

As Elizabeth sat, she leaned her head back to rest on the wall and dangled a leg down to the floor. "He's killed so many pirates. Innocent people." At her last words, she watched Estrella open her mouth to speak. "I know what you're going to say. Pirates aren't innocent people, Elizabeth. They're monsters!" she mocked.

"Some pirates were born into piracy. It's all they know! They probably don't even understand the effects of their crimes," she ended sadly.

As she watched the men on the docks and the ships from her window, she only heard Estrella's next words.

"What about young Lieutenant Rockwell, hm? Do you think they teach boys as young as sixteen anything but how horrible pirates are and that at any cost, you must kill them?" Estrells gave a little nod that said "Think about it" and walked out of Elizabeth's room.

Elizabeth huffed stubbornly, knowing Estrella was right. William probably didn't understand anything about pirates other than what his navy officers had told him. That pirates were evil, and they stole, killed, and raped.

"That's it then! I'll have to show him the other side of piracy. The side they don't teach in the navy." Elizabeth thought aloud.

She stood up, smoothed down her hair and her dress, and exited her room.

"As much as I despise him, I'll have to make him understand." She walked down the stairs in search of the young lieutenant, but in dismay.

She saw her father talking with Robert. "Father!" His head whipped around and he frowned at her.

"Elizabeth… your treatment of that boy was…"

"Where has Lieutenant Rockwell gone?" she interrupted quickly.

"Uh… up-up there. To his room," the governor, extremely flustered, answered.

"Thankyou father!" she answered and continued back up the stairs. She came to his room and knocked. Then she straightened herself out.

"What am I fixing myself for? I'm supposed to despise him! Elizabeth get a hold of yourself," she silently scolded.

"Get a hold of yourself," she whispered. The door swung open and Will revealed himself to his hostess.

"Oh! Hello Miss Swann." He was shocked. What was she doing knocking on his door? He thought she was angry with him.

"It's you room. Of course: he answered, letting her through into his room. She turned and glared, not liking the tone he used.

"But may I ask you something first, Miss Swann? Perhaps?" He turned, shut the door, and leaned back on it.

"He certainly is handsome," she thought, noticing that he had taken off the pompous uniform and changed into regular clothing. She shook herself. "Yes of course, Lieutenant Rockwell." She crossed her arms, waiting.

"William, Miss Swann… But I must ask you what I've done to make you despise me so?" he asked with a small smile.

His question caught her off-guard. "Is it that obvious that I don't like him?" She caught some laughter in his mysterious, dark eyes… She shook herself again. "What's he doing to me?" she wondered.

"I do not despise you!" she snapped. He grinned at her.

"Yes you do."

"I don't!" she answered, flustered.

"You most certainly do, Miss Swann. I can see it in your eyes. They flash with hatred," Will answered back, still grinning, noticing how it made her even more angry that he was amused.

"Ohh…" she huffed. "You are absolutely impossible!" She then stormed out of the room, seeing his smug, but still incredibly handsome—"STOP IT!" she screamed in her head.

She marched to her room and slammed the door. She then leaned against it, closed her eyes, and slid down to rest her head on her knees as she sat.

"I hate men," she complained sourly as she took deep breaths to calm herself. And still she found him unnervingly attractive.

Will slinked out of his room to Jack's room, which was right across from his. He knocked once and leaned against the door. The door immediately swung open, sending Will sprawling to the floor at Jack's feet with a "WHOA!"

"Bloody thankyou, Jack." Will grumbled, as he was helped to his feet by Jack, brushing himself off.

"Well, 'ow was I to know ye'd be leaning on me door when I opened it, eh?" Jack asked, shrugging.

"Just forget it Jack. Forget it." Will had a smug smile on his face that Jack couldn't place. "How'd it go with the governor's daughter, Will? I'm guessing that's the smug look on your face. She loves ye, don't she?" He asked, nudging Will in a teasing manner.

"No. Actually, she despises me and wants nothing to do with me," Will said matter-of-factly.

Jack's grin was displaces as he gave Will a confused frown. "Wot? How'd that happen?" He walked to Will and placed his hands on his shoulders. "Will, I know I taught you to be roguish wit' yer women, but NOT when it's the gov'ner's daughter, mate!" Jack chuckled, patting Will on the back.

"Jack, please. You know I've never listened to your advice about women and never will," he chuckled. Jack frowned at him. "And her hating me has nothing to do with me makin' passes, either! For Blackbeard's sake, Jack! I like her… I wouldn't treat her like that."

"You like her, eh?" He chuckled. "Do you find it even in the least bit ironic that right now she's probably in her room, fuming over a man she claims to despise, not knowing that it's the same boy she fell in love with six years ago?" Jack asked Will, leaning on the dresser.

"Love me? How do you even know she loved me? That's ridiculous." Will shook his head.

"Because you love her… and have loved her since I first met ye, Whelp." Jack answered. He saw Will open his mouth to answer, but Jack continued to stop him.

"And don't deny it either, cuz I know you were about to, Will." He smiled, knowingly.

Jack turned and walked to his bed, only to flop down onto it. "Comfy bed," he mumbled, his eyes closed. Then one eye opened, the other following, and he sat up to see Will watching him.

"Ey! Wot's wrong wit' the advice I give about women!" Will just shook his head laughing and turned away. "Everything."

So... how'd you guys like it! Good? Not so good? Weird? Not so weird. Shutting up. Just leave a review.
