Jack heaved the last of his boxes into the moving van. He wasn't entirely sure why they were using a moving van if they were only moving a few blocks down the street, but he didn't question Elizabeth's authority.

"All done," he said as he shut the door of the moving van. Elizabeth walked over to the van and got into the passenger's seat.

"Excuse me, but is there a reason that you aren't driving dear Elizabeth?" Jack asked sweetly.

Elizabeth gave him an equal sweet but poisonous look back. "Of course Jack, I hate driving, so let's just go."

Jack sighed and jumped into the driver's seat, "But who will drive my car?"

"Will can do that," Elizabeth smirked. Jack gave her an evil look and turned on the ignition. He absolutely hated letting other people drive his car, especially people like the whelp. He was a good driver but he was a whelp, according to Barbossa, that is.

Jack raced down the street in the moving van. He was probably one of the most reckless drivers around. Not only did he speed but he ignored all the laws of traffic safety. He pulled the van up to the front of the house and pulled to a jerky stop. Elizabeth toppled out of the car and onto the sidewalk.

"You know Jack, maybe next time I'll just drive," she gasped.

"That's a good idea love," Jack grinned. Elizabeth rolled her eyes and walked up to the front porch

"It's a bit well, crappy, dontcha think?" came Jack's voice from behind her. Elizabeth spun around in surprise.

"Jack, you have got to stop doing that. There were too many times on the Pearl when you did that and it scared the shit out of me and I fell into the water," Elizabeth scowled. Jack just smiled innocently at her as he remembered all the hilariously funny times that Elizabeth had in fact fallen over board because he had snuck up on her.

"Well, how are we supposed to live in a piece of crap?" Jack inquired. Elizabeth looked at the house. Maybe she had gotten herself in over her head this time.

"Well uh…well we can fix it up ourselves! It's like an exciting project," Elizabeth exclaimed.

Jack gave her a pointed look. "Exciting?"

"Shut up Jack and just help me clear out the porch," Elizabeth said. She started to move the bits and pieces of the old furniture off the porch. Jack watched her in amusement. He seriously didn't think that she actually thought he would help clear out the house, or the porch for that matter.

"BOO!"

"AHHHHH!" Jack screamed. He fell over onto the ground cursing as he went down.

"Haha I got you Jack!" Will exclaimed gleefully. He and Ana had parked Jack's car in the driveway and were observing the house. Jack glared at Will as he shoved himself off the ground.

"Thanks moron, you successfully managed to scared the hell out of me," Jack dusted himself off and then punched Will in the arm.

"Aww c'mon Jack it was only a joke," Will looked at him innocently.

Jack's face suddenly brightened up. "You're right William, it was just a joke, I forgive you. Just don't come running to me when the ghosts come and get you tonight." Jack brushed past Will and out to the driveway.

"Ello Norry!" he exclaimed cheerfully. Norrington turned to look at Jack who was coming at him with his arms open wide.

"Get away from me Sparrow," Norrington stuck out his arms in protest as Jack pulled him into a hug.

"Ahh I'm melting!" Norrington yelled as he flailed his arms wildly in the air. He finally managed to push Jack away.

"Aww Norry doesn't want to be my friend?" Jack smirked. Norrington gave him a dirty look and started unloading boxes from his car. Jack walked away and back up to the porch where Elizabeth was still clearing debris from what was left of old furniture.

"I think we've all proved that this house is in need of a team effort, so let's all watch Elizabeth work on it," Jack said. Elizabeth turned around to find the rest of the crew watching her intently as she worked.

"Oh and just what do you think you all are doing?" Her lips curled into an evil smile. The rest of the crew gave each other worried looks before Elizabeth had them all working. A smug look appeared on her face as she watched Jack and Will attempt to pull up the weeds around the large oak tree in the front yard.

"Where the hell are Gibbs, Cotton and that short dude when you need them?" Jack asked as he ripped all the leaves off of a large weed.

Will sighed and ripped out the weed Jack was working on. "Eh, they're just not into hard labor."

"Well neither am I!" Jack exclaimed. Will shrugged and got back to weeding.

Jack turned around as he heard the slamming of doors on the driveway. Gibbs, Cotton, and that short dude walked up to the porch and grinned at the rest of the crew.

"And just where have you been mate?" Jack asked Gibbs. Gibbs smiled at him and turned around to talk to Elizabeth.

"Bloody pirates," Jack mumbled to himself. He got up and walked over to Gibbs and Elizabeth.

"How come they don't have to do labor?" Jack whined. Elizabeth rolled her eyes and turned back to Gibbs.

"So you're saying Davy Jones and Barbossa are still out to get us?" she asked.

"Aye, well you see Barbossa isn't all what he used to be. He well um, let's just say he's not the feared pirate he used to be." Gibbs smiled and pointed to the car. "We managed to map out his location, and well we've been scheming."

"So what you're saying is that Barbossa is in a nearby retirement home?" Elizabeth asked.

"Well yes and no. Yes, he is in a retirement home, but no as in not for long," Gibbs said.

Elizabeth cocked her head in wonderment. "What are you boys up to?"

"Oh nothing, but Jack if you wouldn't mind coming with me to pay Barbossa a visit," Gibbs turned to Jack and smirked.

Jack's face lit up. "Of course, I'd never miss a visit to my dear friend Barbossa!" Jack hurried over to his car and got in the driver's seat.

Gibbs gave Jack one look before getting into his own car. "Sorry Jack, but you're a reckless driver."

"Well that's the only way to drive in Long Beach, it is forever trafficy," Jack turned on his ignition. Gibbs sighed and reluctantly gave into Jack's desires. He got out of his own car and got into the passenger's seat of Jack's.

"We'll be back later Elizabeth, don't wait up," Jack said. "Oh and tell dear William that I'm ditching him for Barbossa, I'm sure he'll understand." Jack pulled out of the driveway and sped down the street.

Elizabeth started after him in amusement. "I wonder what they're going to do to poor old Barbossa."
