Sorry for the late update. Hey that rhymed… Anyways I was at an Oakland A's game, which totally rocked by the way. There we were two points down from the Toronto Blue Jays and we get a three point home run. Totally awesome. Well sorry to bore you with that. Now on to the story!

Disclaimer: I own Amelia and that's about it

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"If any of you as much as thinks the word parley, I'll have your guts for garters." Pintel told Jack's crew. Jack looked around to find Amelia but she was no where in sight.

"Where's Amelia?" he whispered to Elizabeth. She looked around and couldn't find her. Then suddenly, The Interceptor blew up.

"No... Will! Amelia!" Elizabeth went under the ropes and attacked Barbossa.

"You've got to stop it! Stop it!" She shouted.

"Welcome back, Miss. You took advantage of our hospitality last time. It holds fair now that you return the favor." Barbossa said as he pushed her towards the crew. Elizabeth screamed as they groped her. Suddenly, Will and Amelia jumped on board.

"Barbossa!" Will shouted.

"Will." Elizabeth said.

"She goes free." Will said pointing a pistol at Barbossa. Amelia held onto Will's shoulder. She stood on the railing and surveyed the crowd. She saw Jack and almost ran to him.

"What's in your head, boy?" Barbossa asked.

"She goes free!" Will said again.

"You've only got one shot, and we can't die." Barbossa grinned.

"Don't do anything stupid." Jack said to Will.

"You can't. I can." Will pointed the gun at himself.

"Are you crazy?" Amelia whispered to him.

"I know what I'm doing." He said.

"Who are you?" Barbossa asked.

"No one. He's no one. A distant cousin of my aunt's nephew twice removed. Lovely singing voice, though. Eunuch." Jack said trying to stop Will from saying anything.

"My name is Will Turner. My father was Bootstrap Bill Turner. His blood runs in my veins." Will said.

"He's the spitting image of ol' Bootstrap Bill come back to haunt us." Ragetti said.

"On my word do as I say or I'll pull this trigger and be lost to Davy Jones' Locker." Will said as he cocked the gun.

"Name your terms, Mr. Turner." Barbossa said.

"Elizabeth goes free." Will repeated.

"Yes, we know that one. Anything else?"

"Amelia and the crew go free as well."

"Who the devil is Amelia?" Barbossa asked.

"Me." Amelia spoke up. All eyes went to her. The pirates gave her lustful looks. Barbossa eyed her as she looked to Jack.

"Agreed." He said.

"Barbossa, you lying bastard! You swore she'd go free!" Will yelled as he was tied up.

"Don't dare impugn me honor, boy. I agreed she'd go free, but it was you who failed to specify when or where. Though it does seem a shame to lose something so fine, don't it lads?" Barbossa replied as will was gagged. Elizabeth was being made to walk the plank.

"Aye." The crew replied.

"So I'll be having that dress back before you go." The crew laughed as Elizabeth took off the dress and threw it at him.

"It goes with your black heart." She said. Barbossa pressed the dress to his face.

"Ooh, it's still warm." He said. Then he threw the dress to the crew. He grabbed Amelia's arm and threw pushed her out on the plank as well.

"Now ye will be havin' company on that island." Barbossa grinned.

"Off you go! Come on!" yelled a pirate after they had been standing there for a couple of minutes. Amelia looked down at the water. It was clear and blue.

"Too long!" Bo' Sun shouted and he kicked the plank. Both girls fell into the water. Amelia, who was a better swimmer the Elizabeth, helped her swim to the island. While they were swimming, they heard a second splash. When they got on the island they say it was Jack.

"That's the second time I've had to watch that man sail away with my ship." Jack said after he waded on the island and shook the rope that was binding his wrists away. Jack pushed past them and started walking below the trees. Amelia watched as Elizabeth followed him, pestering him about how to get off the island. She just sat on the beach and shaded her eyes. She watched his lift a door in the sand as he explained jhow he got off the island before.

"Last time I was here a grand total of three days, all right? Last time the rumrunners used this island as a cache. Came by, and I was able to barter a passage off. From the looks of things, they've long been out of business. Probably have your bloody friend Norrington to thank for that." He said.

"So that's it then? That's the secret grand adventure of the infamous Jack Sparrow? You spent three days lying on a beach, drinking rum!" Elizabeth yelled.

"Welcome to the Caribbean, love." He replied handing her a bottle of rum. Jack headed Amelia's way and handed her a bottle of rum. She laid it next her and said, "I don't drink."

"Have you ever tried it?"

"Nope." She stood and dusted the sand off.

"I'm going for a walk." She murmured and started walking. Jack stared after her and asked "What's her problem?" Elizabeth sat next to him and said "I think she has feelings for you. You should have seen her when she found out you didn't come back. They had to chain her to the mast to keep her from going after you." Jack grinned.

"She was worried?"

"Yes."

Amelia walked off around the island. It wasn't very big. Maybe a mile around at the most. When she got back, the sun was setting. She sat and watched it. An arm wrapped itself around her. Amelia looked on her right to see Jack. He had a bottle of rum in one hand.

"So I heard you were worried about me." He said. Amelia blushed and nodded.

"And your bloody crew handcuffed me to the damn mast and almost cost me my life." She said digging her bare feet in the sand.

"Well your alive aren't you?"

"Not for long." Amelia eyed the bottle of rum in his hand. She took it and took a swig.

"I thought you didn't drink, love." Jack said grinning.

"Well if we don't get off this island, we don't have very long to live. Might as well live it up." She replied and drank.

"We're devils and black sheep and really bad eggs. Drink up me 'earties yo ho! Yo ho, yo ho a pirate's life for me." Jack, Elizabeth and Amelia sang and danced as they ran around a huge bonfire that Jack had built.

"I love this song! Really bad eggs! Ooh." Jack said as he fell down. "When I get the Pearl back, I'm gonna teach it to the whole crew, and we'll sing it all the time!" All three of them were apparently drunk.

"And you'll be positively the most fearsome pirate in the Spanish Main." Elizabeth said as she sat next to him.

"Not just the Spanish Main , love. The entire ocean. The entire world. Wherever we want to go, we'll go. That's what a ship is, you know. It's not just a keel and a hull and a deck and sails that's what a ship needs but what a ship is, what the Black Pearl really, is freedom." Jack said.

"That's not freedom." Amelia stated as she lay near the bonfire.

"And what is?" Jack asked raising an eyebrow.

"Not marrying Norrington." She said closing her eyes.

"Fortunately I don't have that problem." Jack slurred. Elizabeth looked to her sister and assuming she was asleep, laid her head on his shoulder.

"Jack, it must be really terrible for you to be trapped on this island." She said.

"Oh, yes." Jack said as he put an arm around her. "But the company is infinitely better than last time, I think. The scenery has definitely improved." Amelia listened to their conversation and opened her eyes. She thought she felt her heart break.

"Mr. Sparrow, I'm not entirely sure that I've had enough rum to allow that kind of talk." Elizabeth said.

"I know exactly what you mean, love." Jack said as he curled his mustache.

"To freedom." Elizabeth toasted.

"To the Black Pearl." They both turned up their bottles but only Jack drank. Jack fell into unconsciousness as Elizabeth watched him. She looked back to Amelia, only to see she was gone.

When Amelia woke up the next morning, she had a massive hangover. She sat up and looked around. She was sitting on the beach far away from Jack and Elizabeth. She watched them the night before and she left as quietly as she could. And by the looks of things, nobody had come after her. Amelia saw a huge billow of smoke rising into the sky.

"There goes the rum." She said to herself. She stood and her head throbbed in pain. She heard someone muttering angrily and coming her way. The voice was distinctly male. 'Jack…' she thought bitterly.

"There'll be no living with her after this." She heard him say. She saw him look out to sea and see the Dauntless. Then he spotted her.

"There you are, love." He said, giving her a lopsided grin. He sashayed over to her and tried to put his arm around her waist but she pulled away.

"What's wrong love?" he asked.

"You said you wouldn't throw me aside." Amelia said trembling with anger.

"What are you talking about?"

"Don't play stupid with me, Jack. I saw you and Elizabeth together last night." Jack realized what she was talking about and tried to go to her. Amelia backed away.

"Love, that-"

"How could you? And with my own sister… You bastard!" tears were running down her face.

"I loved you…" Jack stopped in shock.

"What?" he asked but she ignored him.

"But now I hate you." She said and walked away.

"Oh bugger." He said.

Amelia walked not caring where she went. Elizabeth ran to her and hugged her.

"You had me worried. I looked up and up were gone." She said. Amelia didn't return the hug.

"What's wrong?" Elizabeth asked letting her go. She saw the tears on her sister's face and saw Jack. Amelia pulled away and kept walking. Elizabeth ran up to Jack and asked "What did you do to her?" she also tried to slap him but Jack caught her hand.

"She knows about last night." Was all he said.

"But we've got to save Will." Elizabeth protested.

"No. You're safe now. We will return to Port Royal immediately, not go gallivanting after pirates!" Gov, Swann said.

"Then we condemn him to death."

"The boy's fate is regrettable, but, then, so was his decision to engage in piracy."

"To rescue me. To prevent anything from happening to me. And what of Amelia? She did the same!"

"If I may be so bold as to inject my professional opinion. The Pearl was listing near to scuppers after the battle. It's very unlikely she'll be able to make good time. Think about it. The Black Pearl. The last real pirate threat in the Caribbean, mate. How can you pass that up?" Jack cut in the conversation.

"By remembering that I serve others, Mr. Sparrow, not only myself." Norrington replied.

"Commodore, please save him. As a wedding present to me." Amelia said speaking up for the first time since she got on board the ship. Norrington and her father looked at her in shock.

"Amelia, are you accepting the commodore's proposal?" Gov. Swann asked. Amelia nodded numbly.

Jack watched as Amelia offered her hand in marriage to Norrington. She looked completely heart broken when she had walked away from him. He couldn't even imagine how sad she was right now. He felt so bad about what had happened. 'I never meant to hurt her… Now, thanks to me, I've lost the love of my life.' He thought.

"A wedding! I love weddings! Drinks all around!" he choked out. He instantly regretted saying that because he saw Amelia was on the verge of tears. He extended his arms and added "I know. Clap him in irons, right?"

"Mr. Sparrow, you will accompany these fine men to the helm and provide us with the bearing to Isla de Muerta . You will then spend the rest of the voyage contemplating all possible meanings of the phrase silent as the grave. Do I make myself clear?" Norrington asked him.

"Inescapably." Two soldiers took a hold of him and took him up to the helm. Norrington offered his arm to Amelia. She was about to take it when Elizabeth stopped her.

"Thank you." She said.

"I did not do it for you." Amelia murmured.
