Chapter 2- The New and the Old

"Hello mate…surprise?" said a very familiar voice.

"Um…Jack…what are you doing back at Port Royal? We thought you had left us for good." Elizabeth said, smiling weakly.

"Naw, I wouldn't leave my two best mates. You two were the best onboard the Pearl. Besides, I heard that you were married so I just had to come and see ya."

At this time Arielle had given up trying to hide and burst out of her room and ran down the stairs to meet the new arrival.

"Are you a pirate sir? Please say yes!" she said eagerly, almost screaming with excitement.

Will looked at Jack with a cold stare that could freeze boiling water.

"Uh…no actually…I'm uhh…a trader… yah that's it. But who in the world are you. You must be the most beautiful lady in the world!"

Arielle blushed," My name is Arielle. That's my mom and dad."

"Jack," said Will, "why don't you stay for dinner. Looks like you need some good food."

This time it was Elizabeth who blushed as her cooking had just been complimented.

Half an hour later, they all sat down to a fine dinner of roast beef, vegetables, and Jack's favorite, rum. After they had said grace, not without much protest from Jack, they started eating. Jack Rolled up his sleeves, revealing his mark, labeling him as a pirate, but Elizabeth 'accidentally' flicked a piece of roast beef at him as to make him roll them down again. But not before Arielle noticed.

Jack got so drunk that he had to stay at their house overnight. So Arielle took the opportunity and snuck down past her parent's bedroom avoiding the interesting sounds being emitted from it, and looked in on Jack.

He was fast asleep, so she went over to him and rolled up his long, tattered sleeve. Behind it she found what she had always wished for: the mark telling her that his name was Jack Sparrow, and that he was in fact, a pirate.

But as she began to roll his sleeve back up again, Jack Sparrow stirred and leaned in towards her, giving her a long, deep kiss on the lips, making her squeal.

"Hello Arielle…"

note: Jack Sparrow is younger in this version so he is not too old for her.
