Captain Hector Barbossa was walking around shore, while looking for a new ship. Suddenly, a ship caught his attention. It was silver, fancily designed, and was new. The greedy Barbossa had an excited smile on his face, while walking to the ship. However, Captain Jack Sparrow stepped in front of him. Barbossa and Jack had been rivals, for years and it appeared their rivalry would continue, since they both were interested in the ship. Barbossa said, "You better be scramming, Jack Sparrow, or I'm going to give you trouble. I'm going to be taking that ship and if you try to stop me, you'll receive an unspeakable amount of pain."

Jack Sparrow replied, "That isn't going to happen, because I'm taking the ship."

Barbossa responded, "You have guts, to claim such a lie, because Captain Barbossa always gets what he wants, you sneaky scoundrel."

Jack replied, "First off, you're the real scoundrel. Second off, I was the first one, to notice the ship, so I get to have it."

Barbossa responded, "That's not how it wants."

Jack had an amused look on his face, while asking, "You're disagreeing with the rules?"

Barbossa pointed a sword at Jack and said, "When I want something, I get rid of anybody who stands in my way, because that's the Caribbean's rule."

Jack replied, "That's not the real rule. You changed the pirate code in order to benefit yourself, you ego-obsessed crook."

Barbossa smacked Jack to the ground, while saying, "You could never complain about someone's ego, without seeming like the world's biggest hypocrite, Jackie. If you'll excuse me, I'll be taking my new ship." Barbossa was about to get on the ship, but Davy Jones popped out of the ocean. Barbossa raised an eyebrow and asked, "What's going on?"

Davy Jones confronted Barbossa, while saying, "I have taken a new job, as the protector of the sea."

Barbossa smirked and said, "So, you were one of the world's most dangerous pirates and now, you're just the sea's security guard? No offense, but that's not exactly a promotion."

Davy Jones grabbed Barbossa and flung him back to land. Davy wasn't able to step on land, without disintegrating, so he talked to Barbossa, while standing in the sea. He sad, "Pirates are not trustworthy people. They rob others, betray their allies, and do lots of scummy crimes. In order to bring some dignity and morality, to the world of pirates, I have created some rules. If you don't follow these rules, you'll be cursed. Since you aren't aware of the rules, you will just be receiving a fair warning, this time."

Barbossa asked, "What rule did I break?"

Davy answered, "Once a pirate claims a ship, no other pirate can take it. Before you roamed around here, Captain Jack Sparrow already claimed this ship. Because of that, you must let him keep the ship."

Barbossa angrily replied, "That's a load of garbage."

Davy replied, "Refer to the rules, by any undignified term you'd like, but I won't be changing them. If you want to be on nice terms, with me and the sea, you'll be congratulating Captain Sparrow, on the ship he's obtained."

Barbossa bit his tongue, while being furious at the thought, of being friendly to Jack. He faced Jack and said, "It seems like the worser man won. Congratulations, on getting something you don't deserve."

Jack replied, "Thank you, dearie." He patted Barbossa's head and started running to his new ship.

Barbossa looked back at Jack and said, "Since Davy Jones gave me a warning, I might as well give you one: I'm going to take the ship you want, next time. I'll find the greatest ship, that the Caribbean has ever seen. In fact, it might be the greatest ship, that any sea has ever seen." Jack ignored Barbossa's warning. He started drinking a bottle of rum, while dancing.

Two years later, Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann returned to land, after spending a lot of time at sea. Elizabeth's father wanted Elizabeth, to pay him a visit and he had promised her, that it was for an important reason. Will was feeling uneasy and he suspected Elizabeth's father, of having something up his sleeves. Will looked at Elizabeth and said, "I know this is a radical idea, but maybe you should forget about visiting your father."

Elizabeth looked confused, while asking, "What are you talking about?"

Will said, "I don't mean to be rude or anything, but your father's not a very trustworthy person. After all, he tried to have Jack killed."

Elizabeth replied, "We hangout with pirates, so I'm used to untrustworthy people, don't you think?"

Will said, "Pirates have a code. People, like your father and Norrington, will do anything, as long as they keep their fancy reputation and their eloquent mansions."

Elizabeth replied, "Everything's going to be fine. If my father or Norrington suggest something stupid, I'll refuse and get out of there. I'm a tough person, who can defend herself."

Will said, "You couldn't be more right. I believe in you."

Elizabeth smiled and replied, "Thank you." She kissed Will and said, "I'll be back, before the day is over."

Will responded, "Okay."

Will looked around and saw Jack Sparrow, who was laying on the ground, while throwing sand around. Will knew Jack was eccentric, but this seemed overkill. He said, "Captain Sparrow, are you alright?"

Jack replied, "Indeed I am."

Will looked around and saw that Jack had five rum bottles in his jacket. He usually didn't judge Jack's drinking obsession, but things seemed to be getting out of hand, so he said, "Jack, with all due respect, you drink too much."

Jack defensively replied, "Hey, I'm not a little kid, who needs you to supervise me. After all, I'm older than you, so I'm smarter, more dependable, and more mature." Will knew Jack was more immature than him, but he didn't want to start a petty argument, so he didn't comment on that.

A piece of jewelry fell out of Will's pocket. Will picked it up, while Jack stared at it. Jack said, "That's a wedding ring."

Will replied, "Yes, it is. I'm planning on proposing to Elizabeth."

Jack put his arm around Will and said, "As your Captain, I'm also your superior, mentor, and a lot of things I could list, if this rum wasn't affecting my thinking capacity. Since I'm all of that crap, I know what's best for you, which is why I'm going to tell you, to not propose."

Will looked confused, while asking, "Why?"

Jack answered, "Elizabeth comes from royalty. You're just a pirate's son, which is cool and all, but it doesn't compare, to Elizabeth's rich lifestyle."

Will replied, "But Elizabeth gave up that lifestyle, so I don't think that's a problem."

Jack drank more rum and responded, "Elizabeth has a sentimental attachment to you, because you were childhood friends. However, she's just holding on to nostalgia, because she can't let her childhood go, like most people. Eventually, she's going to grow up and leave you. I've always known that, but I didn't say anything, because I thought your relationship would only last a few months."

Will replied, "First off, your lack of confidence, for Elizabeth and me, is always appreciated. Second off, Elizabeth and I have a strong bond, that didn't just happen, because we were childhood friends. There's far more going on, that you're failing to realize."

Jack patted Will's back and asked, "Are you denying the truth or just lying? Either way, you're in trouble." Jack grabbed another bottle of rum.

Meanwhile, Elizabeth Swann went into Governor Weatherby Swann's office. She walked around the office, while seeing Admiral James Norrington, who was wearing a black tuxedo. Elizabeth greeted her father, before sitting down. She said, "It's nice to see you, after all this time. As much as I like catching up with you, you did promise you had important news. Will's afraid you had something sneaky planned, but I try to believe the best in my loved ones."

Governor Swann replied, "That's a very admirable goal. You usually do the right thing and you often act respectful. However, I think we can agree, that hanging out with pirates is more than dangerous. I believe it's been a bad influence, for you."

Elizabeth folded her arms and responded, "You don't know that. You're just saying that, because you have a biased hatred, towards pirates."

Governor Swann replied, "Pirates are thieves, so there's nothing biased, about not being fans of them. Elizabeth, as your father, it's my job, to make sure you get the best of the best. That's why Mr. Norrington is here."

Elizabeth responded, "I fail to see, what you're trying to convey."

Governor Swann replied, "You and Mr. Norrington are going to get married."

Elizabeth asked, "What are you talking about?"

Norrington looked at her, while saying, "While you were at sea, your father and I were worried about you. That's why we decided, that you should be with someone, who can protect you, guard you, and love you. You're a sweet lady, but you've been acting like a reckless girl."

Elizabeth said, "So, you don't trust me, because I hangout with pirates or is there another reason?" She stood up and confronted Norrington, while saying, "I know you're old-fashioned, but are you so stuck in the past, that you think every woman needs a heroic man, to protect her?"

Norrington replied, "I'm saying this, because I value your safety."

Elizabeth said, "Will was right about both of you. You value your unfair, outdated rules, more so, than doing what's right. I'll tell you both a message, that you need to learn: Women are just as strong, noble, and brave as men, so unless you want to offend half the world's population, I suggest you grow up."

Norrington asked, "What does Will have that I'm lacking?"

Elizabeth answered, "Will treats me like an equal, not like your pretty sidekick who just stands around and looks pretty."

Governor Swann handed Elizabeth a wedding dress and said, "This has already been paid for, so you might as well take it."

Elizabeth looked at the dress. It was white, with a few shades of pink. Even though Elizabeth was mad, she thought the dress was beautiful. She hugged her father, before storming out.

Governor Swann looked at Norrington, while saying, "We already scheduled your and Elizabeth's wedding." He put his hand over his face, while saying, "All that money has been wasted."

Norrington replied, "Maybe not. Maybe Elizabeth will come to her senses, in a few days, and realize how charming I am."

Governor Swann said, "If you still think you have a chance, you better get that ketchup out of your wig." Norrington took off his wig and realized it had a ketchup stain. He whined, while throwing his wig into a cleaning bucket.

A few minutes later, Captain Barbossa was roaming around, while looking for a new ship. He saw a ship, which captivated his attention. It was brown, well-decorated, and was in excellent condition. He was about to get on the ship, but Jack started walking to him, while slouching around, because he had too much rum. Captain Barbossa asked, "What do you want, this time, you rum-obsessed fool?"

Jack answered, "I noticed you're interested in that ship, but after looking at it, I've become interested, as well."

Barbossa had a smug smile on his face, while saying, "I noticed the ship, before you did. Because of that, I get the ship. It's the pirate code, not to mention Davy Jones' rule, so you've lost. I warned you, that this would happen. You better keep drinking those bottles of rum, because it'll fill you with quick satisfaction, to cure your depression, from losing to me."

Jack replied, "Hold on there, Barbie."

Barbossa looked embarrassed, while saying, "Don't ever call me that, Jackie."

Jack grinned, while saying, "Since you hate it so much, it'll be your new nickname, Barbie. Anyways, Captain Jack Sparrow doesn't lose, especially not to his lackluster rival, which is why I'm taking the ship." Jack punched Barbossa and jumped to the ship. He was so excited, about getting a new ship, that he forgot to tell his crew. He started driving the ship.

However, Davy Jones popped up. He had a disappointed look on his face, while saying, "Captain Jack Sparrow, you know the code. Despite that, you went against orders, because of your own greed. You're not as good of a pirate, as you think you are."

Jack replied, "For the record, I'm a fantastic pirate." Barbossa shook his head.

Davy Jones said, "Jack, I don't want to start another rivalry with you, especially since you're act like a pest and a childish brat, when you don't get what you want." Barbossa nodded in agreement. Davy said, "If you get off the ship and give it to Barbossa, I won't punish you. However, if you try to steal it, you will be cursed."

Jack pushed Davy away, while saying, "The ship's mine. I'm not afraid, of ghosts and curses." He continued driving the ship.

Davy said, "Jack Sparrow is going to suffer the curse of the Caribbean." Barbossa grinned.
