A Bet, Some Rum, and a Wedding
Chapter 10: The Surprise

"Amy, are you up?" Jack had been awake for almost an hour now waiting for Amy. Jack quietly opened the door to Amy's room to see that she was still asleep.

'She's still asleep. Great. She is going to have to get up sometime. Or I could just do the waking for her. I could have fun with this.' Jack quietly opened the door more so he could walk in and started walking as quietly as he could. About halfway to the bed Amy started to stir and let out a small moan making Jack stop in his tracks. Once Amy settled down again, Jack started to walk towards the bed again, but more slowly so this would not happen again. Jack made it to her bed when Amy moved again. Jack ducked behind the bed so Amy would see him and stayed there until she did not make any noises again. He slowly stood back up and crawled on top of the bed and grabbed Amy by the waist and pulled her closer to him. Once Jack was settled in he closed his eyes only to be hit very hard in the nose.

"Ow! That really hurt. You really hit hard you know." Jack started to rub his nose.

"And good morning to you too Jack."

"Have long have you been awake?"

"I woke up the second you opened that door."

"Then why were you moving around like you were still asleep?"

"I wanted to see what you were going to do."

"So you tricked me?"

"Yes, I did."

"And you hit me in the nose."

"For a good reason. Why were you in my bedroom in the first place?"

"I wanted to see if you were awake."

"And you crawled into my bed because?"

"To wake you up."

"Couldn't you just have yelled at me from the door or something?"

"I could have but I thought this way would be more fun."

"For you."

"Yes for me."

"And I hit you in the nose because you wanted to have fun."

"Yes, you did, which really hurt."

"That's your problem."

"Why did you have to hit me?"

"Because I thought it would be more fun I hit you instead of yelling at you."

"For you."

"It's your own fault you got hit in the first place."

"But did you really have to hit me?"

"Didn't we just go over this? I'm not answering any more questions on why I hit you. I have a question for you."

"Oh really? Does it have something to do with rum?"

"No it doesn't. Why did you want to know if I was awake?"

"Oh yeah, about that. I wanted to talk."

"Really? Jack Sparrow wants to talk? About what?"

"Last night."

"Oh yes, I forgot about that. We probably should talk about that. Hold on." Amy pushed Jack's arm off her, he put it back around her while they were talking, and sat up leaning against the headboard. She brushed her hair out of her face and looked at Jack."I'm ready. Out with it."

"I'm sorry for the way I acted. I never should have acted the way I did. I was acting to forward. I probably acted really silly to you."

"The only time you acted silly to me was when you came up behind me and twirled me around scaring me half to death."

"Sorry about that too."

"Oh, it's ok, Jack. I thought the way you acted was really sweet, kind of. Just make sure you never scare me like that again."

"I'll try not to."

"No you won't."

"You're probably right. Now hurry up and get dressed, I have a surprise for you."

"Really? Does it involve rum?"

"It can if you want it to."

"What is it?"

"Now if I told you it wouldn't be a surprise now would it. You'll just have to wait and see."

"Are you sure I'll like it?"

"You'll love it. You better hurry up, we don't want to be late."

"What could it possibly be?"

"If you think about you might be able to figure it out."

"Well I don't want to think. Tell me."

"No."

"Please? I'll give you something."

"You still haven't fulfilled your last promise."

"Oh, you mean why I went to Sarah's house so early? I'll tell you right now if you like."

"Yes. I want to know."

"It was her wedding day."

"Yes I know that. So why did you have to go so early?"

"She had a very bad sense of time."

"She wouldn't be able to get ready on time for her wedding at three o'clock?"

"She would not have been able to."

"That's it? Are you sure you're telling me everything?"

"Yes I am. If you tell any woman what I just told you, they would get it."

"I still don't get it."

"That's your problem. Remember I said that I wouldn't explain to you what it meant and that if you didn't get it don't come running to me. I'm going to hold that end of the bargain."

"Can you just give me one hint?"

"No."

"Please?"

"No." Amy took the covers off of her and got out of bed.

"Pretty please?"

"No." Amy walked over to Jack and grabbed his arm.

"You're really going to make me work for this aren't you?"

"No matter how much you beg, I will not tell you. Unless you offer something really good."

"Like what?"

"I don't know. Your ship."

"I never would give my ship up for anything."

"Well, I will not give you any hints then." Amy pulled Jack off the bed and pulled him towards the door.

"Come on. Just one little hint." Both of them had reached the door and Amy pushed Jack into the hallway.

"For the last time. The answer is no, no, and no!" and slammed the door in his face.

"Please?"

"No!"

"Women."

"What did you say?"

"Nothing. Stubborn." Amy quickly opened the door and had an angry look on her face."I heard that!" Amy picked her leg up and kicked him in the shins and slammed the door shut. Even though she did not have her boots on, it still hurt Jack very much.

"Jack I'm ready. Lead me to this surprise." Amy walked up to the deck to find Jack staring out to sea.

"Ok, but I'm going to have to cover your eyes."

"What! I have to see where I'm going."

"Don't worry. I'll lead you there."

"How do I know this isn't some big trick?"

Jack turned around and looked at her. "Trust me, this isn't a trick. Tell you what. I'll let you see wearing we're going for halfway. Once we reach halfway, I'll cover your eyes. That way you'll have some idea of where we are going."

"Fine. But if you take me to some strange place or do something to me, I'll kill you. Literally."

"Well then if it makes you feel better knowing that you can kill me, fine. If anything happens to you, you can kill me. Don't worry, there's nothing to worry about. Don't you trust me?"

"I do trust you. It's just that you're leading me to some strange place and I have no clue where we're going."

"Trust me, you'll be fine."

"Fine I trust you Jack. Those have been famous last words."

"Well they're aren't going to be your last words. Now come on, we don't want to be late." Jack started walking but Amy just stood where she was."Come on." Jack walked back to Amy, grabbed her arm, and pulled her along with him.

"What are you doing?"

"Well seeing as you aren't willing to move, I'm making you move."

"Fine."

"How much longer?"

"We're getting there." Jack continued to pull Amy's arm when all of the sudden he stopped right in the middle of the street, making Amy walked right into him.

"What? Do you see something?"

"It's time to cover your eyes."

"What! No."

"Come on. I let you go over half way with you eyes open. I see it from here."

"Are you sure you can see it from here?"

"Yes, I would bet my life on it."

"Well you kind of are." Jack pulled Amy in front of him and covered her eyes with his hands."We'll be there in a minute. Just go where I tell you to go. Keep walking straight." Amy grunted but did what Jack said. Amy kept walking straight until Jack pulled her arm and told her to stop.

"Let me get the door."

"Where here already?"

"I told you we would be there in a minute." Jack opened the door and nudged for Amy to walk inside."Kyle, is he here?"

"Yes, he's sitting at that table in the corner."

"Wait, Kyle is here? We must be in the pub. Who's sitting in the corner?"

"That's the surprise." Jack led Amy across the pub to a small table in the corner."Surprise." Jack took his hands away from Amy eyes so she could see. There was a man sitting at the table facing the other way, with his face away from them. At first she had no idea who this man was. After staring at the back of his head for a minute, she realized who it was and filled with joy.

"Gibbs?"
