Chapter 9: Just In Time

JACK

"Why, you're just in time," said Governor Swann sarcastically as he marched out of his house, steam practically coming out of his ears.

"Yes, I'd say so, wouldn't you?" Jack said, strolling out from behind the trees, accompanied by Anamaria.

"Jack?" Will said.

"Sparrow?" Governor Swann looked disgusted.

The three of them gaped open mouthed at Jack.

"You know, I'm here too," Anamaria scoffed, rolling her eyes.

"What're you doing here?" Elizabeth asked incredulously, eyeing him with a slight look of repulsion on her face.

"Well, I missed the whelp here," said Jack, patting Will on the shoulder. "Wanted to see if you had finally gotten your brain and realized that you won't have children, because bloody old Will here is a eunuch."

"Jack," Anamaria said, rolling her eyes again.

"CAPTAIN."

"Captain?"

"Yes?"

"He isn't a eunuch."

"And you would know that...how?"

Elizabeth gave a giggle.

"You pirates," Governor Swann huffed.

"I'm terribly sorry we are a bad influence on your prissy little daughter here," Jack said, giving a wide smile.

"Anyway," Anamaria said, looking at Jack pointedly. "He didn't exactly have anything better to do."

"I do think that's an insult, Anamaria, dear," Jack said.

"Dear?" Will and Elizabeth said, both looking at him oddly.

"Erm," Jack said.

"He's a bit drunk," said Anamaria.

"Isn't he always?" Governor Swann said.

"Well, now, that's one thing you've gotten right in my presence," Jack slurred, doing this completely on purpose.

"Jack—"

"—Captain—"

"Please, would you shut up for a bit?" Anamaria asked rather pleadingly. Jack shut up at the look on her face.

"Will," Anamaria said, turning toward him. "May i...talk to you for a second?"

"What about?"

She coughed loudly.

"Oh," Will said, catching on quickly.

Authors Note: Ah, well, will you look at that! I've finally updated, even though it took me like, a month to do it...well, you can all kill me later, after you read this ever-short chapter. Which you probably have if you've already gotten here, but that's not the point.

williz: Wow, I love you so much!! You always give me positive feedback, and I love it! Also, I know my chapters are so very short, but I'm trying not to do that anymore. I'll tell Mary and Ana, although it's been like a month...oops.

iLuVLotR: If I did put a scene with Orlando Bloom and how fabulous he looks with his shirt off I would be really disgusted with myself, and you know that, Mary. But I love you anyway!!

VirginVixen666: I know, I know they're too short. And you'd better still love me!! Otherwise I will mourn in self pity for a long time, and you'll feel so sorry.

storylvr6: You should go chuck the silly hairdryer out the window and be all like, "I LOATHE YOU TOO!"

Lykosdracos: I LOVE YOU!! You are so great in giving me pretty reviews that I shall cherish forever.

DracoIsMyLOVER: You'd better not want to see something like that! Although I'll never do it!!
