Will was beside himself and sat next to Elizabeth for hours. Suddenly he felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned and came face to face with Keira herself. Inside of the room was everyone; Jack, John, Orlando, Anna, Gibbs, Cotton and Keira. She sat down next to him and tried to smile.
"Will, it isn't your fault you know."
"I know but I've failed. You're, you're dead."
"I may be dead, but I don't blame you William."
"But you're not dead," a voice said.
There stood Elizabeth and next to her was the blonde haired angel.
"What do you mean she's not dead," Will asked.
"It is not her time to die," the angel said.
"Gee, that sounds familiar," Jack said.
"What Teresa is trying to say is that Keira's body is, physically, fine," Elizabeth explained.
Teresa went over and kneeled next to Keira's still form. "When the soul leaves the body, it shuts down after a small amount of time. However, at her current state, the body is in an extended sleep due to Elizabeth's soul no longer being housed there."
"But how it that possible," Jack asked.
Teresa looked up. "Because I caused it." She went over and touched his shoulder. "With her supposed death, there will finally be balance in the world. When you died and should not have, a hole was created. A hole that is now filled."
Everyone nodded but they were all confused. "In other words, there was no cosmic balance. Keira held that key. All is right."
"So what now," Anna asked.
"Your mission is complete. I can finally tell you that after two centuries, it is time for you to rest."
Everyone looked at each other.
"Can we just have a few minutes together," Orlando asked.
Teresa nodded and went outside.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No one knew what to say.
"Rest," Jack whispered, "we can finally move on."
Will, Elizabeth, Gibbs, Cotton and Anna all looked at him.
"He does have a point," Will said.
Elizabeth nodded.
"I don't know about you guys but I could probably use it," Anna said.
"Then it's settled," Gibbs finished. Cotton nodded and was going to the door before,
"Stop."
Everyone turned to look at Orlando.
"What," Jack asked.
"We just wanted to thank you. All of you," he said.
Keira nodded. "He's right. Thanks for watching out for our bodies for the past few days."
John nodded. "They're right. I never thought a week ago that any of this was possible now-a-days. Pirates, curses and all that jazz. I'm sure that if it was us alone, we wouldn't be here today. Now though, well, thanks."
"You're welcome," Jack said nodding.
John reached out his hand and though it was transparent Jack shook it.

When Teresa came back into the room, the ship began to move.
"I figured that you'd want to get back home as soon as you could. It'll take you through to the beach by your house, Mr. Sparrow."
"Thanks," John said crossing his arms against his chest.
"So, are you all ready?"
Each one of them nodded.
"It was nice meeting you," Orlando said to Will.
"You too."
"It was good to see you again Beth," Keira said to Elizabeth.
"Yeah, another adventure for us huh, Keir."
Teresa raised her arms over her head and a wind began to blow. "Be ready," she said. At the same moment, everyone saw darkness.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mrs. Young decided that since it was so early in the morning, she would sit outside and watch the sun come up on the beach. She was just getting comfortable before she saw something coming up on the horizon. Being the busybody that she was, she grabbed the binoculars that were right next to her and looked. There was a ship arriving. It looked like one of those boats she had seen in those old swashbuckling movies with Errol Flynn. Where the hell would a ship like that come from? Once it arrived three people came off it. They were her neighbor, "Handsome Johnny", as the ladies around the neighborhood called him and those two college students who were visiting him. They all made their way into the house but not before Mr. Sparrow smiled and waved at her first.

Two weeks later-
John, Orlando and Keira were all at the airport since it was time for them to go home.
"Flight 742 to New York now boarding! Repeat: Flight 742 now boarding!"
"That's us," Orlando said getting up.
Keira and John followed likewise.
"Guess this is it for now," John said.
He extended his hand and Orlando shook it. John smirked and pulled him in before grabbing Keira with his other hand and giving both of them a big hug.
"Write to me okay."
"We will."
"It was nice meeting you John. Again anyway."
"You as well, milady."
"Last call, Flight 742!"
"Go, and keep in touch."
Orlando and Keira both waved and made their way to the plane. John smiled and went out to his car. He looked through the rear-view mirror and got onto the highway. He looked over at the ocean and began to hum.
"Na nananana, and really bad eggs. Drink up me 'earties yo ho. That is a good and very catchy song."

I hope you didn't find anything cheesy and I hope I explained everything well enough. Again many thanks to all who reviewed and stuck by me till the end. Now for the announcement: Coming next summer, May of 2007, will be the sequel. The three main characters will be back and better than ever. It's only in the thought stages right now and I won't properly have time to write it until school is over. The working title so far is An Old Expedition From the Future. So, see you all then. Later :-)
