Chapter 3 – Elizabeth

Tim had a headache he was sure was a 10 when he opened his eyes. The twilight was coming in through one of the large windows and he looked around. This wasn't his room. Finally remembering what happened the day before he sat up and looked down at himself. He was wearing different clothes.

"Oh good, you're awake."

He looked over at the woman who just walked in the door, she was beautiful. Her light brown hair went down pass her shoulders and her light brown eyes shone in the sun, her smile was small on her face and she looked rather uncomfortable in her dress.

"Are you Elizabeth?"

She smiled at him and nodded. "Yes I'm Elizabeth Swann."

Tim had opened his mouth to ask where Jack was when he looked at her oddly. "Where's Jack?"

"Who?"

'Oh no.' He thought to himself. This was bad.

"Never mind. Where am I?" He asked and stretched.

"You're in Port Royal in the governor's mansion. I'm his daughter."

Suddenly everything was making a little more since. So his great-great etc. grandfather, the pirate captain married the governor's daughter. How cliché.

"How long have I been here?" HE asked and watched her walk toward a low table to get a basin of water.

"Only since this morning. You had fallen off your carriage and hit your head pretty badly." Elizabeth explained and wet a cloth to put to his head. He took it gratefully.

"You wouldn't happen to have any Tylenol would you?"

"Ty-what?"

"Nothing."

Elizabeth watched him curiously for a few moments before moving back toward the door. He was a strange man with a different accent she wasn't familiar with.

"Why don't you try to get some rest Mr?"

"Oh I'm sorry my name is Timothy Smith."

Elizabeth nodded and left the room. Antoinette was waiting outside the door.

"What's he like?"

"He's strange."

POTC

Jack, sorry, Captain Jack Sparrow of the Black Pearl was happy. Happy was probably the understatement of the world. He had just found out his first mate Barbossa had planed to mutiny and he got rid of him, leaving his old carcass on an island all by himself. This was beginning to be a good day indeed.

"Captain, where to now?"

Jack thought about it and took out his spyglass. After telling his men to drop anchor he weighted his options. The Pearl had gotten into a nasty fight and they needed supplies as well as crew. He could pick up more crew members in Tortuga, for now this small town would do well for supplies.

"Gibbs! What is that place?" He asked pointed straight ahead.

"That be Port Royal captain."

Jack smiled, he heard of that place, though had never been. "We'll go in at night, take what we can."

"Give nothing back."

This was a good day indeed.

POTC

Tim had gotten out of bed and looked around for something else to wear, he was very much out of luck unless he wanted to try on one of his great grandmother's dresses.

"Oh you're awake." Elizabeth said as she came in, it looked as if she were about to go somewhere.

"Yes. I was looking for something else to wear, you see, I would like to go out. If you don't mind."

"Not at all. I was going to visit my fiancé but he doesn't know I'm coming. I can show you around town if you'd like."

Tim felt sick. Why was this happening? Why didn't everything happen like it was supposed too? His ancestors were supposed to meet, fall in love, have children, and none of it was happening and now to top it all off she was getting married to someone else!

"That would be nice thank you."

Elizabeth went to get him some different clothes and Tim had to admit, he looked ridiculous. Walking outside with her though gave him time to admire nature's beauty and how far the world had evolved. He even saw a ship coming into the port.

"What's his name, your fiancé?"

"Oh, James Norrington. He's the commodore; it's a smart match to be sure. My father is pleased with the arrangement."

"When is the wedding?"

She looked at the sky when she answered. "Next week."

'Shit.' He thought to himself and then remembered Will.

"What about Will?"

"Will Turner?"

He nodded not exactly sure.

"He died. A few years ago. How do you know about him? I didn't think you were from around here."

He shrugged his shoulders. 'Great answer dude.'

Suddenly there was cannon fire and Tim turned to see that the ship coming into the port was being shot at as well as shooting back. There where men coming to land. Elizabeth looked frightened.

"Come with me." He said and took her hand, trying to pull her down alleyways.

A man came around the side of one of the buildings and saw her.

"Mr. Gibbs?" Elizabeth asked and he took her hand.

'Gibbs? Where have I heard that name before?' Tim wondered but it wasn't long until he was going to find out.
