17 years have passed since Elizabeth or Will have seen Jack Sparrow. Lucas Sparrow was raised properly. He took after his mother by desiring adventure and was bored with Port Royal. He had no desire to be a blacksmith, but instead he wanted to sail the seas. He wanted to see everything the Caribbean had to offer. Luckily for Elizabeth, Lucas didn't look a lot like Jack. Instead he had shoulder length brown hair, piercing brown eyes, and was rather tall. Will had taught Lucas how to handle a sword. Lucas was strange to a point like Jack. What pleased Elizabeth most was that Will had no idea that Lucas was actually Jack's child.

Piracy was dead. The only true pirate left was Jack Sparrow but he went into hiding because the king put a bounty on his head. Things have changed in Port Royal. People were no longer as secure as they once were. There was a depression ever since Governor Swann went out of commission. Will and Elizabeth had to adapt to normal life and sometimes went without eating for the day. Lucas was getting unhealthy and unnaturally skinny but Lucas took after his father and was a survivor. He could survive the worst the world threw at him.

(-meanwhile with Jack-)

"Could you quiet things down a bit, mates?" said Captain Jack Sparrow to the caged animals that surrounded him in the dark and cramped cargo hold of a small merchant vessel on it's way to Port Royal. The animals continued to annoy Jack. He wasn't going to be able to take the chirping, hissing, and roaring much longer. Jack pulled out his pistol and fired a single shot, hitting a large monkey (that reminded him of Jack the monkey) and all was silent.

"Thanks. I thought you'd see things my way" Jack said while he was opening the cage of the animal he shot. He dragged the monkey out, and crawled into its cage and closed the door.

Jack listened carefully as the sailors said that they just reached Port Royal and they would start unloading the cargo. Soon the cargo hold door flew open. The bright sunlight hurt Jack's eyes. He had to be sitting it that cargo hold for about 4 days. Two sailors grabbed the cage Jack was in and muttered something about how heavy it was. Soon they realized that there was a man in the cage and dropped the cage making Jack hit his head.

"Hello mates. Could you please let me out, I really have to go to the bathroom. And terribly sorry about the monkey." Jack said looking up at the sailors that were staring dumbfounded at Jack. They let him out and helped get some of the dirt off him.

"How'd you get in there?" asked one of the sailors.

"I'll explain later, but I really have to go the bathroom" Jack said making a funny face, hopping around and crossing his legs.

"Right. Go on! But come right back" the sailor said

Jack gave them a bow and then sprinted into town and before the sailors knew it, he was gone.

"He's not coming back, you moron," the other sailor said while hitting his partner across the head. Then they went to go tell the authorities. Meanwhile, Jack was still running across town, and turned sideways and walked pass if he saw any soldiers. Before he knew it, he was in front of the Turner household.

(-meanwhile with Lucas-)

Lucas was walking around town looking to see if he could get some food. He was walking slyly and walked up to an old salesman.

"Ah Young Turner! How are you? I trust everything's alright at home." The salesman said

"Hello Mr. Wethers! I'm better than ever. How's business?" Lucas replied. Lucas continued to talk and distract Mr. Wethers, while the whole time with his other hand he was stealing an apple.

When Lucas started to walk away, the salesman noticed he was taking an apple.

"Lucas! I'm ashamed of you! Give me back that apple or I'll contact the authorities!" the Salesman yelled. Lucas began to run home.

When Lucas was about home he ran into a soldier and was worried a little bit.

"Turner! Have you seen Jack Sparrow?" the guard said as he was helping Lucas up.

"Who?"

"Jack Sparrow? He's a pirate that killed a monkey."

"I-I've never heard of him."

Mr. Wethers, the sales man caught up and shouted "Guard! Guard! That kid stole my apple! Arrest him!"

Before the soldier could answer, Lucas decided to attack. Lucas head butted him, knocking the soldier unconscious. Before he realized what he had done, soldiers were crouched down with rifles and were about to fire.

"Pride of the King's Navy you are. About to kill a man for an apple and a knocked out soldier." Lucas said while he was running towards his house. Then they began to fire.

(-meanwhile with Jack-)

Jack knocked on the door only to no answer. Jack started to here the sounds of rifles in a distance. Jack started to panic. He started to knock faster and louder and yelled "Oi! Let me in! Let me in!"

The door opened to a smiling Will Turner.

"Jack… Jack Sparrow"

"Captain, mate. Now are you going to let me in or are you going to continue to stare in awe about how good I still look after all of these years?"

"O-of course! Come in. Elizabeth! We have company"

Elizabeth walked down the stairs and stopped in shock when she saw Jack.

"Jack… What are you doing here?" Will said

"I came here to wish your son a happy birthday." Jack said putting emphasis on the word 'your'

"Lucas' birthday was several months ago," said Elizabeth

"Elizabeth, Elizabeth, Elizabeth… Must you always point out every minor flaw in my attempts to do good?"

Out of nowhere, Lucas came barging through the door. He slammed the door and locked it, and leaned against it and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lucas, what happened?" Will ask with a look of concern on his face.

"My God, you don't look a thing like your father. Except in the eyes maybe." Jack muttered.

"Who's he?" Lucas asked, panting.

"Who am I?" Jack laughed. "Oh, if you only knew"

Elizabeth looked at Jack with wide eyes and he immediately knew to cut it out.

"This is Jack Sparrow. An old friend who saved our lives many times" Will said

"Captain" Jack corrected

"The monkey killer?" Lucas asked

Will and Elizabeth both looked at Jack with confused faces. He smiled innocently. There was a slight moment of silence. There started to be loud knocks on the door and yells to open up.

"Oh no" Lucas said

"What's wrong?" Elizabeth asked

"He's a marked man," Jack said with a grin on his face

"How'd you know?" Lucas asked

"Let's just say I'm no stranger to the face of a marked man, savvy"

"What'd you do?" Will asked

"I stole an apple. I was starving to death" Lucas replied

"You did what?" Elizabeth asked while Jack was humming the tune to "Yo Ho, Yo Ho, A Pirates life for me"

"I can take him to safety" Jack said with a sly grin on his face

Before Elizabeth could protest, Will agreed to it.

"Great! Meet us in Tortuga." Jack said, still grinning

"Tortuga?" Will asked

"Tortuga." Jack said.

Instantly, the soldiers broke down the door

"Oh, Bugger" Jack said with his smile disappearing. Lucas and Jack both stood almost frozen.

"Run!" Elizabeth screamed.

Jack and Lucas began to run through the town with half of Port Royal's soldiers chasing them. Soon they made it took the docks and began to commandeer a small ship and made their way toward Tortuga.
