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!

Disclaimer: I do not own Johnny Depp (or Jack Sparrow), Orlando Bloom (Will Turner), Keira Knightley (Elizabeth Swann), the commodore, the governor, and the rest of those guys in this that you recognize from the movie. Disney owns the movie, not me.

But I do own this plot….and Barley and his crew. And the natives of Toup Naroubi...and Toup Naroubi, come to think of it, because I made it up.


"My, my Jack Sparrow…don't you look snappy in that get-up…" Ana Maria smirked at her captain, as she put on her round-rimmed women's hat. Jack spun around and eyed her appreciatively. "I know I do, lass…and you look dandy yeself."

"Thankyou, Captain." She fluffed down her thin skirt, as she wasn't supposed to look aristocratic, just like a girl. Elizabeth had helped her in finding the right type of dress for the trip into the Toup Naroubi marketplace. There, they would get all the supplies they needed, as well as the proper dress of the natives, so as not to look completely tourist when they embarked upon their journey to the Dead Sea.


"Will, come out. Will, let me see you!" Elizabeth stood, hands on her hips, smirking at the changing screen in the corner. She'd spent at least an hour trying to make Will try on his clothing. "It's incredibly dirty, Elizabeth…I don't want you to see me like this," he jested, sticking his head out from the screen. "You, know…I have to put on my dress too…I can't just frolic around the town in my pirate garb." She raised her eyebrows at him.

Will grinned at her and quipped, "Ah, but you look right dashing, Darling." His head flew back behind the screen as a boot flew where his head was a second before and hit the wall. "My my, Miss Swann. You've got an arm, and great aim, might I add." Will put on his hat and walked out from behind the screen.

Elizabeth latched her fingers together under her chin and grinned with happiness that reached her eyes. "How do I look?" He asked, outstretching his arms and moving around the cabin with a heroic look plastered on his face. "It will do…I suppose," Elizabeth teased, before taking her plain maiden dress behind the screen and changing into it.

"You suppose? What's that mean, Liz?" He plopped down on the bed and moved his hat to sit beside him while he waited for her to finish changing. The pirate heard grunting and shuffling behind the screen, as well as a few under-the-breath curses.

All of a sudden, a knock sounded on the door. "What is it?" Will asked, hearing someone scuffle on the other side. "The Cap'n says we gots about ten minutes til we disembark. We'll all need to be ready by then, Will," Gibbs said from the other side.

"Will do, Gibbs." He heard Gibbs leave and go back up to the deck before looking back over to the screen. His jaw dropped. Elizabeth was standing there in nothing but a petticoat, trying to keep her dress up to cover her body. Will thought it was the most beautiful thing he'd ever seen in his life.

He stood and started to her. "William, stop ogling at me and help me, please?" She said sheepishly, blushing under his scrutinizing and awed gaze. Will shook himself and walked around her. "Of course," he murmured. He started up the ties and pulled them while Elizabeth held up her long, soft locks. Before he could stop himself, he leaned down and kissed her bare shoulder lightly, lips blazing a path on her skin. Elizabeth bit her lip and looked up at him. "Could you finish, Mr. Turner," she said softly, for fear her voice would break.

"Anything you say, my lady." He smirked and finished tying up her dress, allowing her to drop her hair down again. Will watched in admiration as she skillfully tied her hair into a stylish, but plain bun at the back of her head. "Ready?" She asked, smiling softly at him.

His dark brown eyes caught her lighter ones, and he smiled too. "Almost, I need my hat."

"You have your hat, William," she said, amusement cracking her voice as she pointed to the bed. "Well, oh yes, I do…how about that?" He asked, laughing as he crossed behind her, Elizabeth watching him all the while, and came back to her.

She took the hat from him and put it on his head, lovingly, fixing his jacket on his shoulders and brushing the front of his breeches. "There, dashing."

"Might I add, you look absolutely beautiful." She turned and smiled at him. "Thankyou, Lieutenant." With that, she walked out of his cabin, leaving him flabbergasted. "She does it every time," he muttered, following after her.

"Oi, Mr. Turner…I've a new name for you, got it?" Jack crossed over to him and patted his back once he returned on deck. Will rolled his eyes, "I almost think I've had enough playing dress up, and here you come to tell me I need to change my name again?"

"Just a lil' bit," Jack said, shaking his hand in front of Will's face. "First mate Henderson," Jack said, proudly. "I made it meself, how 'bout it?" He asked, grinning.

"Henderson! That's not a little bit…"

"But you still have the first mate in there, William!" Jack interrupted, holding his hands up in defense. "I'm not totally cruel as to get rid of that."

"What's my first name to be?" Will asked, giving in.

"William…wot' else would it be, boy?" Jack looked at him as though he was shocked at Will's dumbness and strode away.

Elizabeth walked up behind Will and patted him on the back sympathetically. "William Henderson's not bad. Mine is worse…" She rounded on him and pulled at his collar a bit, straightening it.

"Why? What'd he do to you?" Will cocked his head to the side a bit, curiously. Elizabeth smirked ruefully. "Elizabeth Henderson." Will still held his head cocked. "Who?" His eyes widened. "Elizabeth Henderson," she reiterated. "I am to be First Mate Henderson's newly wed wife."

Will's jaw plummeted down to the deck. "Did Jack do this?" At Elizabeth's nod, he rolled his eyes. "I would have figured as much."

They both turned their heads as high-pitched yelling sounded and a wide-eyed Jack exploded from down below decks. Ana Maria stomped up behind him. "You bloody imbecile! What are you thinkin'!" She yelled smacking her captain across the face.

Will and Elizabeth looked at each other, first confused, then amused. The young man left his love's side to intercede in the conversation. "Whoa, now…Ana Maria, I know you hate him and all, but we need our captain for the time being…don't kill him just yet," Will chuckled as he held her away from the cowering Captain Jack Sparrow.

"YEAH!" Jack barked as Ana calmed down. "Bloody crazy woman," he muttered, before the female pirate started growling and clawing at Will to get to him. "Ow! OW! Calm down—OW! Ana stop it! Calm down!" Will was getting smack in the face, but a pain surged through his arm again. He jumped away, holding his arm.

"God damn it that hurts!" He winced and held his arm. Elizabeth's amused face turned into that of concerned as she flew to his side and took his arm gently. "Are you alright, Will?" He nodded, shaking it off. "Yes, I'm fine. It was just the broken arm…It's fine now, don't worry." She nodded, concern still etching at her features, and let his arm down.

"Sorry Will, it was my fault," Ana Maria mumbled, guilty. "No, not your fault…I shouldn't have jumped in like that. You wouldn't really kill Jack, I know." He shook his head, to be sure she didn't feel bad.

"Yes…yes, I think she would," Jack said, eyes wide as he noticed Ana Maria wasn't being held back by Will anymore. Ana noticed it too and leapt at him, smacking him across the face one more time and wiping her hands on her skirt.

"What's going on, anyways?" Elizabeth asked, grinning as she watched Jack rub his jaw sorely. "Ana Maria isn't very happy," is all Jack said.

"He said I'm to be 'is wife! Never in 'ell will I agree to that! There's no point to it anyways!" She threw up her hands wildly as she finished.

"Why would a merchant ship 'ave two purdy lasses on their ship if'n it weren't cuz Will and I missed our wives so much, we had to take them wif' us! It's all that can be done!" He said, trying to reason with her.

"It's a good point, Ana," Elizabeth said, shrugging. Ana squinted her eyes at Jack, mulling it over. Elizabeth continued, "I mean, it's either him or one of them." Elizabeth motioned to the crew. Half of them didn't even have a half full set of teeth.

"Aye, so Jack it is….But if you even so much as touch me when nobody's watchin', I'll kill ye, got it!" She said through grinding teeth, as she pointed her finger in Jack's face. He nodded, gulping a bit. "Aye, agreed."

Will and Elizabeth sighed, relieved and amused still. Jack had actually cleaned up rather nicely. He combed his hair back into somewhat of a ponytail, while he begrudgingly allowed Gibbs to cut back his beard so that it looked less pirate, more merchant. His clothes were clean too, which was saying a lot, considering the state they were in before.

Will squeezed Elizabeth's hand and went to check on the crew's status. Elizabeth stood steadfast and watched him walk away. Even though he wore shabby clothing and wasn't exactly dressed to par, something about him was incredibly handsome still. He wore a white flowing shirt with the sleeves rolled to just above his elbows and was buttoned down to reveal part of his toned, tan chest. A pair of beige trousers clung to his bottom half, finished off with black, dirtied boots that went up to about 3 inches below his knees. He left his hair down, and the curly locks waved to and fro in the calm sea breeze. The hat was a small sailor's hat, much smaller than any seaworthy hats, but as first mate, Jack made him wear it.

"Miss Swann," she heard behind her as Ana came up. "It's Elizabeth Ana, how many times must I say it?" She answered good-naturedly.

"Aye, Elizabeth…I was just wonderin' how things…erm…are with you an' the young'un…" she paused slightly, hoping she hadn't asked into something her companion didn't want to share. "Well, it's as well as I could hope after what happened, I suppose." Elizabeth lowered her head and moved it back up again, a forced smile playing on her lips. "Well, I should get ready to go on land. It's been awhile, I don't really know if I'll be able to walk on ground that doesn't sway all the time," she joked with Ana. Ana smiled, politely, but kept watching as Elizabeth walked away, shoulders slightly slumped.

"Those two are trouble," Jack muttered behind Ana. "Aye, Captain…I wish they'd just stop with all this nonsense and be together… never thought I'd say it, but I'd rather see them all kissing and mushy." She looked back to see Jack's response and only saw him nod.

"Hey, Jack…I'm sorry for smackin' ye like that…I just din't know the reason why is all…I dunno." She turned back around and stayed like that, waiting for his answer. Captain Sparrow came up behind her and laid a hand on her shoulder. "I'm used ter it," he grinded out, smirking, before leaving the smiling pirate behind him to go help the crew steer back into the bay.


"WILL! Tell the men ta lower the gangplank!" Jack yelled from the helm of the Black Pearl.

Will nodded and turned to the men. "Alright, lads…heave ho." He helped them, but did only a small part of the work, so as to ensure his arm healed safely. They got it down and tied it sturdily.

Many townspeople had gathered, too astonished by these foreign merchants to leave, but still cautious and wary enough of them, that they stayed at a safe distance from the crew of the Pearl.

Jack stood at the top of the wooden board and held out a hand for Ana Maria to grasp it. He strode down the gangplank, standing tall and proud, his "wife" beside him. They stopped at the bottom to wait for Will and Elizabeth to descend.

Will turned to give the crew one last look. "You're all good men, and the captain and I trust you. Stay here, and we'll bring everything you'll need to you. We'll be a few hours, no worries, aye?" The crew nodded, some saying "aye" but none wanting the townsfolk of Toup Naroubi to become suspicious.

Elizabeth took Will's arm, as he laid a gentle hand atop hers, and walked off the ship with her walking gracefully beside him. "Ah, it's a beautiful town, isn't it Mrs. Black?" Jack asked Ana Maria, raising his eyebrows. She sent him a dark, nigh noticeable glare and smiled. "Yes, Jack…very beautiful."

Will stood besides Jack and started walking through the crowd. A group of women came and were giggling, touching the clothes Elizabeth and Ana Maria wore.

"I—I like the clothes…" one woman said, nodding to Elizabeth as the young society woman smiled back at her. Jack motioned for Elizabeth and Ana Maria to go with the tribal women. "We—get you clothes…nice clothes," another woman said in broken English.

They started pulling the two women with them, but Will took Elizabeth's arm and brought her back, worriedly. Elizabeth smiled slightly, and kissed his cheek, flattered that he seemed worried for her well-being. "I'll be back, Will." He let go and allowed the women to take her into a small hut with them.

"They better not harm one hair on her body, I'm telling you right now, Jack," Will said, eyes latched to the hut.

Jack rolled his eyes and guided Will to the market. "It'll be fine, mate…they're both very capable young lasses," he slurred, mouth watering at all of the foods stacked in the different stores.


An hour later, Jack and Will came walking down the street, laughing and talking with some of the men who spoke English. Jack had asked how some of them knew the language, and they had told them English was important for them to learn because of their hatred of the Spanish. Because the English were enemies of the Spanish, they figured the enemy of their enemies could be their ally.

The men had been very kind to the two pirates, showering them with gifts and supplies for very low prices. Jack and Will had walked back and forth to the ship, carrying the supplies there for the cheering crew.

"Will, this Topo Narby town was a great idea! Now I know why you're my first mate!" Jack laughed and patted one of the men to the right of him on the back. "Right, mate?" He asked, as the man laughed with him, but didn't understand a word Jack had said.

"We would be honored, if your crew stayed with us for a few days…before your journey to the Straight, Captain Black," one of the better speaking natives said to Jack. "Stay? You mean, as in sleep?" Jack asked. They stopped walking as Jack looked at Will, who just shrugged.

"Yeah, you know? I think that'd be rather nice, don't you think so dear William?" Jack raised his eyebrows. Will just smiled.

"Sounds like a plan," he said. The men surrounding them cheered and shook their hands as they laughed. Somehow, they'd rounded back to where they had first entered the marketplace.

"Ah, Ana Maria… we're staying for a few days with these kind people!" Jack waved his arms around, motioning to the numerous tribesmen gathering around. They all smiled welcomingly at the newcomers.

Ana Maria stopped walking and put her hands on her hips. They'd dressed her in flowing robes, covering most of her body. "Is this how I'm expected to dress, cuz I don't like these itchy things," she muttered to Will under her breath.

"Where's Elizabeth?" Will asked, nervously eyeing the small flap into the hut. "Don't worry, loverboy, she's fine," Ana Maria said, reassuringly, turning him away from the hut.

Will watched as Jack, who was having a conversation with another man, turned and looked behind him. "Ah, there's your lass," he said, winking. Will spun, and saw a few of the women walking towards him part, revealing Elizabeth in the most beautiful clothing Will had ever seen. "Your wife—very pretty, yes?" A man next to Will said, jabbing him in the side. Without letting his eyes stray from the young woman, Will muttered, "God yes."

Elizabeth had been clad in what looked like gypsy wear. The women let her hair down and pulled some back out of her face, letting a few curl down onto her shoulders. A dark veil hung over her face, covering only her nose and mouth and leaving her bewitching eyes free.

Her strong stomach showed in between the black fabric covering her chest and below her belly button. The loose slacks made of what looked like silk flowed down to the middle of her calves, tapering off and clinging to her legs at the bottom. She had no shoes on her feet, but didn't seem bothered by it.

"Elizabeth—you look…stunning," Will said, eyes bulging out of their sockets. He took her hand and kissed it, never letting his eyes stray from hers. She blushed and looked down for a moment, before looking back up. "Thankyou."

The people grinned all around them. "You are pleased?" One of the ladies asked Jack and Will. Both nodded as Will answered, "Incredibly pleased." The tribeswomen grinned and blushed, thanking him.

"Lizzie, we're staying 'ere for a few days, so…" Jack was cut off as the crew was led by them by some of the women. "HEY! 'at's me crew!" Jack bellowed. He grabbed one of them as they strode by. "Wot' in Hell's depths are ye doin'?" He asked him as he brought the man to his face by his collar.

"Those men told us we was stayin' 'ere, so we left a few men on the ship and came 'ere!" The man stuttered. "You left some on me ship? Responsible some?" At the pirate's nod, Jack released him and let him keep going. "Carry on, then."

"We're staying here?" Elizabeth asked. Will turned and nodded. "We have huts prepare…for each," a woman said slowly.

Some women led Will and Elizabeth one way, while others led Jack and Ana Maria in another direction. "See ya in the mornin' Will!" Jack yelled, laughing.

Elizabeth was roughly pushed into a hut. She slid to a stop and glared at the hut's flap. "Bloody eager, they were…" she muttered, rubbing her arms where she'd been grabbed by the women as they led her in.

She turned and saw blankets on the floor, as well as a set of beautiful rose petals spread over the ground of the hut. She narrowed her eyes suspiciously, and crossed her arms, before she heard voices outside.

"Yes, we are married, it's true, but—really, that's not—please listen, we aren't really…"

All of a sudden Will was pushed backwards into the hut and he landed at Elizabeth's feet. Elizabeth looked down at him with wide eyes and leant down to him, picking up his hat and putting it over his face, before she went and sat in the corner, sitting cross-legged and watching him.

Will just sat up and let his hat fall off his face before getting up and dusting himself off. He turned and looked at Elizabeth. "Did you do this?" She asked him, motioning to the hut. "No! No, I wouldn't do this…without your knowledge. Honestly, Elizabeth!" He held up his hands.

"Why would they—do this?" She asked herself out loud. Will came and sat down. "I suppose they figure we're married and we would want to—ahem…spend the night together," Will said, diverting his eyes.

"I suppose so," she said, leaning her head back and closing her eyes. "Should we make use of it then?" Will asked, grinning slyly at his so-called wife. Elizabeth opened her eyes and snapped her head up. "What!" She smacked Will in the arm, angrily.

"It's a joke, Elizabeth! A joke! I would never—although I almost—but no…That's not what I mean…" he sighed, flustered. "A joke," he sighed lamely.

"Oh, I—knew that…I'm sorry," she muttered. He smiled his forgiveness to her as she smiled back. "You look beautiful, Elizabeth."

She grinned at him and nodded. "Thankyou, Mr. Henderson."

"Your welcome, Mrs. Henderson," Will drawled as he laid down on the blanket, smirking at her. She chuckled and started laughing outright, as Will started laughing with her.

When Elizabeth stopped laughing, she leaned over Will and propped herself up with an arm. "Why didn't they change your clothes? I mean, you're the ones with the dirty shirts and everything like that. Atleast Ana and I had clean clothing," she said, giggling. She sat up and waited for his response. Will followed suit and looked into her eyes. "Maybe they'll do it tomorrow," he shrugged. She nodded and looked down at the sand next to the blanket she and Will shared. Twirling her fingers around in it, she said, "Nice people," but stopped when she felt Will take her chin in his hand.

The young man looked deeply into her eyes as he held her in place with his soft touch. "Elizabeth—I…want to tell you something," he said, his voice becoming deeper. Elizabeth's mouth opened, but instead of ruining the moment, she just nodded.

Will smiled softly at her and unhooked the veil around her face, letting it slide off of her head. They both watch it fall to the ground, as if in slow motion, and Will leant forward, catching her scent. Suddenly, he was filled with desire for this woman again.

He leant so close that their lips were scant centimeters away, before she crushed her lips against his in a slow and deep kiss. They were engulfed in the other's lips, dueling for control as they gripped at each other. Will wrapped his arms around Elizabeth's bare midriff, feeling himself drown in her at the touch of her skin.

The young woman moaned into his mouth, loosing all control of her thoughts. "Will," she whispered as he moved his lips down her jawbone. He started moving to lay her down against the blanket when he moved to kiss her lips again.

He stopped and turned his head away when she yawned. He sat up, his blood pumping through him like a bullet, panting. "Will, no I…" She was cut off again with another yawn.

"You're tired Elizabeth. Sleep then." Will pulled up the other blankets to cover her form and stood to cool off his body. "Sleep well, Elizabeth," he murmured, partly perturbed because another opportunity was lost, and partly because he would have to sleep in the same hut as her and try to keep his hands away from her.

"Will, wait! Where are you going?" She asked, sitting up to look at him, tiredly. He turned, just outside of the hut and stuck his head back in. "Erm, to tell you the truth…I need to cool off." He raised his eyebrows and walked out.

Elizabeth smiled at the waving flap, and laid back down to sleep, cursing her horrible timing.
