Jack rolled over sleepily in his bed. It was morning already. Will hadn't come back that night and Elizabeth was worried sick. It had been raining pretty hard that night and Elizabeth had been worried that he had got caught in the storm. Terra had made dinner because Elizabeth wanted by the window and watch for her as she waited outside for Will. Jack mound. He didn't want to worry about Will. He was still mad at him...but he was his friend. He flipped onto his side. He could get up for a minute and peek in his bedroom and see if he's there...He flipped onto the other side...Maybe...he went up and sighed.

"Oh what the bloody hell?" he mumbled and left the room.

The halls were quiet. The wood creaked as Jack went down it staring at the blank walls. Sunlight peeked through the windows because it was so early and the sun was barely up. Dew drops that had survived the night's storm now dripped off the glass and ran to the bottom. Jack peeked in Elizabeth's room. The windows were open and a light breeze ruffled the bed sheets that were mad up neatly just as they had been the night before. Jack heard a thump behind him. He spun to face it. There stood Elizabeth. A robe was wrapped around her thin form and her lump of a stomach. Dark circles scooped under her eyes and a tired look passed over her face.

"I was hoping you were Will." she mumbled.

"I was hoping you were him too." he said. "Tell me you didn't spend all night up did ya?"

She nodded sleepily.

"He's never been out all night before Jack." she said. "Do you thin he's alright?"

"If Will can survive me n' my crew then he can survive jus' 'bout everything." he said.

Elizabeth smiled weakly.

"I'm gonna lye down." she said. "If he comes tell him where I am."

Jack nodded and left her to have some privacy. He went down the hall and passed the other open guest room. Terra lay under the sheets her eyes closed as she slept soundly. Jack leaned on the door frame and watched her. Her black hair lay a mess around her and her beautiful skin seemed to glow in the early morning light that streamed through the cracks in her curtains. Jack grinned. Then shook his head. He had to stop that...that thing. That thing were he would stare at her and his stomach would do flip flops. He grinned surprisingly. Who could blame him? He was a "kid." He had wants. But he sighed. He went past the room and back down into the kitchen. He grabbed some coffee Elizabeth had made when he saw it. A full of rum. It was beautiful. he reached for it and stopped. Then he reached for it again. And stopped. He went to the table and sat down. He drank the coffee in a single gulp. He wanted that rum. No...he needed it. He went to his feet then sat down. Yes...no...yes...no...until finally he lunged at the fridge and lifted the jug when he heard.,

"Jack?"

He dropped in and turned around. Terra stood there with a sleepy grin on her face. He moaned.

"You're up early." he mumbled as she sat down next to him.

"Yeah...I woke up when I heard Elizabeth snoring. Doesn't look like the type who would right?"

He nodded.

"Well...what about you? Why are you up so early?"

"Guilt." he said. "Will didn' come back las' night and Elizabeth spent all night waitn' for him.Tha's not right."

"I guess people do that when there in love eh?" she asked a slight ring of amusement in her voice.

Suddenly the door banged open and Will stood there. His hair was wet and looked like he had just washed it. He saw them and smiled.

"Go wake up Elizabeth." Jack said to Terra. "She wanted somebody to when he got back."

Terra nodded and went up the stairs and Will collapsed into the chair.

"I know I should wait for everybody else to get here but why are you so late?" Jack asked.

Will sighed.

"The Commodore." he moaned. "I was at the shop when the Commodore comes in. Apparently he "needed" his sword sharpened though it was perfectly sharp already. Anyway then he wanted to talk to me so he asked me back to his house, He had dinner served and said he was worried about me and Elizabeth's safety. Then he said some crazy kid broke in his office and though he tried to kill him he jumped out the window with the file with our information in it."

Jack coughed down a laugh as Will went on.

"S I went to leave as the rain decided to come." he said. "The Commodore insisted that Is stay the night and that it was "too dangerous" for me to leave into the storm. I swear that man is gay. Anyway I was just hoping that Elizabeth wasn't too worried. I would have sent a message to you guys but the storm was too bad. So I just hoped that Elizabeth was not too worried. I got up as early as I could to leave but not before the Commodore insisted that I come back for dinner. He's sending a people to get us around 5."

"But...won't he know it's me when he sees me?" he asked.

Will shook his head.

"He doesn't really remember. he said he just knows he was "dangerous" looking."

Jack laughed.

"I leave a good impression even as a kid eh?" he laughed.

Will nodded then sighed.

"Have you told her yet?" he asked lowering his voice.

"Tell who what?"

"Terra! That you're...you know..."

"..actually taller then her?" he asked.

"Jack I'm serious! She has a right to know! she has been traveling with you this whole time."

Jack sighed.

"I'll tell her...soon." he said.

Just then a frazzled Elizabeth who in Jack's mind was getting bigger and bigger everyday and Terra who stared at them curiously.

"WHERE WERE YOU!" Elizabeth roared.

Jack never seen her so mad.

So Will repeated the whole story just as he had to Jack. They heard every word and at the end Elizabeth suffocated Will in a hug.

"He expects us to come to dinner after keeping you there all night?"

Later that night

Jack stared with disgust in the mirror. It was bad enough that he was forced into a clean outfit for the dinner that night but he had to take off his hat...his bandana...any jewelry...It was a form of torture. He sighed and went out into the hall and down the stairs. Will was already ready. His black hair was put back into a small ponytail and he had a blue jacket on and a white shirt. He smiled at Jack.

"Well...you look..." he said. "...different...clean."

"That wife of yours is evil..." Jack said. "She nearly pushed me and stripped me so I could get into that shower...I was felt violated her seeing me in my underwear."

Will laughed and sighed.

"Yes she's very...pushy isn't she?" he asked as he smiled happily.

"Oh yeah. I forgot...you're in love." Jack mumbled.

Will surprising laughed.

"I am." he said. "Very much so. So I heard you gave Terra swimming lessons?"

Jack stared at him.

"Who said that?" he asked.

Will sighed.

"She not only is pushy but sees and hears everything." he said.

"I suppose you 2 sit around with nothing better ta talk about then me eh?" Jack laughed. Then he added cockily. "Can' blame ya o' course."

Will was about to say something when his eyes traveled to the stair case and his smile turned so happy and lustful it was sickening. Jack turned and saw Elizabeth all done up. She had on a dark ruby colored dress. If he didn't know better he would have said it was the dress Barbossa made her wear when she was prisoner on her ship. Her hair curled as it reached her breasts and her skin seemed to glow.

"You look beautiful." Will mused as he kissed her lightly on the lips.

She beamed.

"Thank you Will." she said. "But anyways Terra will be down in a minute. It took me forever to find her a dress that fit. All mine were too long but I finally found 1 that my friend's daughter left here on her last visit. I don't think she'll mind though. Oh there she is."

Jack turned and saw her. Her dress was an off white color and strapless. It was trimmed in a beautiful ruby ribbon that fell down along with the dress. It had a very low back that showed off her beautiful skin. Her hair curled around itself with a pin shaped like a rose stuck up in it. A thick iron choker was on her neck that had a chain that dangled down lowly on her bare back. Her violet eyes made things all the more beautiful. Jack felt his stomach flip flop and his mouth go dry. She grinned softly at him.

"Alright let's go." Elizabeth and Will went outside as Jack and Terra stood frozen there.

"Terra you look..." was all Jack could manage.

Terra grinned.

"You clean up good yourself shorty." she said.

Then she stopped.

"Jack...you've got something right here." she pointed at her lip.

Jack touched it and went to the mirror that hung on the wall. It was a zit...not a big zit but big enough for somebody who hasn't had a zit in 18 years.

"OH MY BLOODY HELL NO." he yelled. "GET IT OFF...GET IT OFF."

Terra sighed.

"It's just a zit." she said. "Ya can barely tell."

Jack stared at her.

"I never get zits." he mumbled.

"It happens to the best of us..." Terra sighed. "Now come on. Let's go."

Jack stared at the mirror then followed Terra out to a carriage that the Commodore had sent for them. Jack never got sea sick...but when it came to land travel he got jittery. Especially when he wasn't driving. He seemed to be jumping up and down nervously. Terra stared at him.

"Are you alright?" she asked.

"Yeah...yeah." he said.

He took a deep breathe. Night was coming pretty fast as the shadows grew bigger and bigger. Will and Elizabeth talked quietly as Terra stared out the other side of the carriage. Soon they arrived at the Commodore's mansion. Jack hopped out and breathed a sigh of relief. They went up to the door. A timid looking servant girl answered. Her light auburn hair was pulled up and her green eyes sparkled with a patient and polite air. She bowed slightly and moved aside to let them in. She took Will's coat and reached for Jack's. He pulled it closer and stared at her. She blushed slightly and mumbled.

"The masters waiting for you in the dinning room."

They went down the hall and looked at all the elaborate things. Paintings that cost more then ships and vases that looked older then the earth. Finally they arrived in a room where they were greeted by many men all in black lined up against the walls and looking straight ahead. There was a long wooden table filled with large silver dishes and goblets. There at the end was the Commodore with a smug look on his face. He went to his feet and greeted them. He leaned down and kissed Elizabeth's hand.

"Welcome to my home." he said mostly to her as Will cleared his throat.

The Commodore jerked and looked up.

"Oh hello William." he said flatly then turned his attention to Terra. The hungry look in his eye returned as he kissed her hand. "And who might you be my lovely?"

"Terra. Terra Brickams." she said as he rose to full height.

"Terra." he repeated as his eyes twinkled with lustful ideas.

Jack felt that flip flop feeling return but only full of hate and death wishes for the Commodore who now turned his attention to him. He looked him over.

"Who might you be?" he asked.

"Ja..." he began but Will cut in.

"Jack. Jack Spallers. My nephew. Terra is his friend. They've come for a visit. I hope you don't mind."

The Commodore shook his head as his eyes never left Terra and Elizabeth.

"Not at all." he said. "Have we met before Jack?"

Jack laughed.

"I...I don' think so..." he said as he put his head down.

The Commodore eyed him strangely.

"Very well..." he said. "Come on."

They all sat down as the men who were lined up on the walls suddenly moved and took the top of the silver platters. There was every kind of food you could think of. Jack's stomach rumbled as they served themselves. Soon they were eating. Jack sat next to Terra and across from Will who sat next to Elizabeth. They both sat next to the Commodore.

"So...Jack." Jack could tell he hated the name. He grinned at the thought of the lasting impression he had on the man. It was either that or Will was right and he was gay and had an ex boy friend named Jack. "What craft do you think you'll go into?"

Jack grinned. Time to have some fun.

"Oh I wanna be a pirate..." he started.

"A WHAT!" the Commodore nearly yelled.

Will kicked him from under the table.

"...he means pirate hunter. An officer. Like yourself." Will said casting Jack a warning look.

"Oh." he calmed down again. "I was going to protest. I mean...pirates are no better then trash. They all deserved to have there privates cut off and hung. Like that Jack Sparrow."

Jack swallowed hard at that thought.

"I'd go into detail about all the gruesome ways to kill a pirate but there are ladies her. Perhaps after diner... anyway Miss Brickams...how do you know Jack here?"

"We..." she started but stopped.

Maybe the truth wasn't the best idea at the moment. Obviously everybody else was hiding the fact Jack stole a ship and did indeed think he was a pirate and that Will was not his uncle but friend...and if Jack was a pirate she didn't want his "privates" to be cut off...she didn't want to end up in jail for the rest of her life for stealing a government boat either. So she did the next best thing: Lie.

"...grew up together." she concluded. "Yes...we go way back. Since we were kids. I've known him forever. He said he was coming here to visit a relative...and I just had to come! I've always wanted to go to port royal. So he said he wanted me to come so here we are!"

"So are you to be wed?" he asked.

"No! No!" Jack said cutting in. "Just friends..."

The rest of the dinner was quiet. Afterwards Elizabeth went up stairs to lye down because the baby was making her sick. Will and the Commodore went to the den to talk and Terra and Jack went out to the balcony. It was a beautiful night. The stars twinkled above and the ocean didn't lye too far away. In fact it was seeable from there. They stood in silence. Jack stared at her. He was amazed to find that she wasn't the kid he thought her to be but had a more mature figure. He had seen more "mature" this was true but he was surprised to see it on her.

"Why are you staring at me?" she asked.

"You look beautiful." he mumbled suddenly shy.

Surprisingly she blushed.

"Thanks." she said. "You look...hansom."

He laughed.

"Well love I knew tha' already." he said cockily.

"I figured you did." she said.

More silence.

"Well...um.." she said then suddenly her eyes grew wide. "Oh my God...PIRATES!"

Jack stared eagerly out into the distance. There was a huge ship coming into the dock. The crew were hopping onto the dock as they held there swords high into the air. His heart beat louder. Was it the black pearl? Could it be? He went into the hall and yelled.

"WILL! ...ER...UNCLE WILL! PIRATES! THERE COMING!"

Commodore and will came out to see him as the Commodore drew his sword.

"I'm going...Will you should accompany me. As I remember you have a way with these "rats." And..." he eyed Jack. "...we should bring along the boy. He did say he wanted to be a pirate hunter...so yes. Give him a sword..."

Jack picked up his own sword.

"I have me own." he said.

"Where have I seen that sword before?" he asked raising his perfectly shaped eyebrow as he examined him.

"Maybe."

So they left out into the road. Men were coming from there houses with guns in hand and sobbing families behind them. Jack waited until the Commodore was far away when he pulled Will back.

"Will what if it's the black pearl?" he asked.

Will shrugged.

"They'll be alright." he said with a laugh. "They've been here before and survived...what's the worst that can happen?"

...o ya! lol. Gettin' good, eh? lol. Well keep the reviews coming and I'll keep the chapters coming. Until next time.
