Trouble in Port Royal II: The Wedding
Chapter One
"Absolutely not!" Governor Swann declared, sitting high in his seat at the head of the table. It was a private dinner party with only the Governor, his daughter Elizabeth, and her fiancé Will Turner in attendance. The two lovebirds had once again brought up the subject of the infamous Captain Jack Sparrow being allowed to attend their wedding.
"Father just hear us out," Elizabeth said calmly.
"Why should I? He is a known felon! Think of all the things he has done!" Governor Swann said.
"That's exactly what we are doing," Will interjected. "If it weren't for Jack, Elizabeth would be dead or worse, courtesy of Barbossa and his men, I would be dead if not for Jack, and everyone would believe Commodore Norrington to be a rapist."
"Yes, well, don't think I am not grateful for all the good that he has done for us, and between us three I'm not entirely bothered that he managed to escape the noose yet again. However, he locked two of our naval officers in the cell in his stead. We tried to make lightly of it, but it made a mockery of us that one pirate was able to best two of our men," Governor Swann said. "If he were to come back now, so soon after the, ah, incident, it would promote bad feelings among the men. They would be itching to arrest him and prove that we are not a joke."
"Father, if you were to grant him a temporary pardon, just so he could attend the wedding, the men couldn't do anything to him and you very well know it!" Elizabeth said keenly.
"We only ask that he be allowed to be there for the wedding, perhaps the reception and have a little bit of time to said away before the pardon ends," Will said.
The Governor sighed and studied his daughter and future son-in-law for a minute before sighing again and saying, "Well, let me discuss it with Commodore Norrington, just to see what he thinks of the matter, and I'll get back to you."
Elizabeth and Will beamed. "Alright, that sounds reasonable," Elizabeth said.
The next morning the Governor and Commodore Norrington were walking along the Fort when the Governor broached the topic of Jack. "My daughter and Will tell me they want Sparrow to attend their wedding next month."
"Oh really?" the Commodore, who had known this conversation had been coming for a while now, said mildly. "What did you tell them?"
"Nothing yet. I had hoped to get your opinion on the matter," Governor Swann said, glancing at the Commodore.
"Well, I suppose it couldn't hurt to allow him to attend," Norrington said carefully, "After all, it is a special occasion, and it is not as though Sparrow hasn't done any good."
"Yes, that is more or less what my daughter and her fiancé said," the Governor said thoughtfully, "Well, I guess it is their wedding and as long as they can find a way to contact Sparrow to invite him then he can come."
Norrington smiled slightly as he said, "Your daughter and her fiancé will be pleased." The smile stayed on his face as he thought of how Jack would undoubtedly be pleased as well. "Though you may want to consider monitoring how much he drinks," Norrington added as he remembered the pirate captain declaring that he loved weddings, drinks all around!
