The small village of Roseton was charming brownstones and 17th century stone cottages. The houses and buildings were painted in all different colors of the rainbow. Flowers bloomed making Eden jealous. Julie Teeger thought it was right out of a storybook. She turned to her babysitter/new girlfriend Lily Moscovich, a short Lebanese woman in her twenties with died blond hair and rocker chick chic clothing that Avril Lavene would borrow.

"So are you really Queen Mia's best friend?" Julie asked shifting her shopping bags in her arms..

"Since kindergarten!" Lily nodded. "I've been her sidekick way before the tiara. I knew her when she was a big frizz-ball of hair and a four eyed nerd with a retainer! I knew her when she barfed in debate class..I..."

"Okay! Okay...we get it...you're close!" Julie laughed. A few feet behind them, a curvy brunette with her hair pulled up at the side in yellow butterfly clips, black pantsuit, a 54 magnum tucked into her shoulder holster followed behind, her eyes shaded in dark glasses. In a light Southern drawl, she said to the girls as she walked behind them in her stiletto heels,

"Keep it moving Ladies...we're due back at HQ at thirteen-hundred hours."

"Okay, Smithy? First of all...HQ is in front of Roseton city hall where we said we'd meet Ms. Teeger, second, say two o'clock!" Lily told her sarcastically.

"Well 'scuse me for doin' my dang job!" the woman said walking ahead.

"What's her deal?" asked Julie.

"Who? Smithy? Well she used to work for the President...and when Mia got the royalty gig, he sent her one of his best secret service peeps as a gesture of goodwill aka sucking up...Anywho Smithy's got the whole, Dirty Harriet thing going on...why Mia always pairs her up with me is a mystery!" Lily said as Julie laughed.

"Yes Quartermaster...I understand...Yes...I see Mr. Monk now...He will be no threat to me...Merci." said a tall young man with black curly hair as he hung up his cell phone and looked around the corner of a building to see the group of four waiting outside Roseton city hall. Randy and Stottlemeyer were siting on the front steps, pouring over the diary together, while Monk was pacing and absorbed in the Brotherhood journal. Natalie sighed in boredom,

"Doesn't anyone want to read out loud?"

"Hmm?" chorused the three men.

"Oh sorry Natalie...it's just...this is the kind of stuff little boys dream of when they're growing up. Adventure...being pirates...sword fights...cannons..." Stottlemeyer said to her.

"The parrots!" Randy added. As everyone but Monk looked at him strangely, Randy explained, "I wanted a parrot when I was a kid." Focused on the mystery, Monk pointed out a page in the journal,

"Look...look at this! There's a list in here of the Black Pearl's original crew! The founding fathers of the Brotherhood! Will Turner...Joshamee Gibbs, Pintel, Ragetti, Marty the Dwarf, Cotton...Mr. Cotton's parrot?"

"His parrot?" asked Natalie scrunching her nose up at the page.

"Told ya!" Randy said and Stottlemeyer slapped a hand over his eyes. But Adrian didn't pay any attention to the previous comment. He smiled knowingly and walked off to the side a bit looking at the page. He closed the book shut and held his arms out, smiling up at the heavens.

"Uh...Mr. Monk? What are you doing?" asked Natalie. Monk turned, his grin still plastered on,

"I've solved the case."

"What? Who did it?" Stottlemeyer demanded standing up with Randy's help.

"What's the secret?" asked Randy.

"Here's what happened..."Monk started. But before he could begin, a young man with curly black hair grabbed the book from Mr. Monk's hand and took off running. "Hey!" Adrian yelled as he and Randy started to chase after him."He's got the journal!" he finished. The youth was fast as lightning. He was about to shake his pursuers when he made the tragic mistake of looking back. He never saw Agent Smithy tackle into his side out of nowhere only to splash both on them in a large fountain. Lily and Julie caught up to the fountain just as Randy and Monk arrived on the scene. Randy immediately dived in after the journal and pulled it out, just as Smithy twisted the thief's arms behind his back.

"AH!" cried the youth in pain.

"Well that's what you get for runnin'!" Smithy told him before saying dryly to the Lieutenant as he wadded out, "Nah really, I've got 'em! I'm fine!"

"Is the journal alright?" Monk asked in a panic as Randy flipped open the cover to inspect the journal.

"Is the journal alright?" asked Stottlemeyer and Natalie at once the second they caught up, the Captain limping all the way. Then the limo pulled up behind them, and Prime Minister Motaz climbed out saying,

"Of course it is alright...the Brotherhood was created by pirates...they waterproofed all important documents."

"He's the guy!" Monk said pointing a finger at Motaz.

"He's the guy?" Natalie asked.

"Who's the guy?" asked Lily.

"The murderer and the thief from Windrose!" Monk said as Julie gasped.

"I'm not the guy!" protested the Prime Minister shaking his head.

"Oh when Monk says 'He's the guy', you can bet good money he right!" the Captain said.

"Then isn't he entitled to place his wager on the wrong horse? Mr. Monk please...I had nothing to do with my Brother's death." Motaz said.

"Brother?" asked Julie.

"What's going on?" asked Lily.

"The murderer knew the secret the brotherhood was trying to protect. Isn't that right Prime Minister Motaz? Decedent...of...Salvador Motaz...gunner mate on the Black Pearl?" Monk asked turning to the page. Motaz sighed,

"Mr. Monk...if you will allow me...I will tell you all you want to know about the Black Pearl, the Brotherhood and myself."

"And why should we believe you?" Natalie asked.

"Because I see now that we need to work together to bring the true killer to justice...to protect the treasure and secret of Captain Jack Sparrow and the Pirate Queen." Motaz said.

"Treasure?" Monk asked his interest peaked. Smithy looked around at everyone and asked,

"Uh...does this mean I don't get to turn this creep's insides out?"

Soon they were driving back to Castle Renaldi, everyone settled in the backseat of the limo as Motaz began to explain.

"It's true. I am of the Brotherhood of the Black Pearl. I am in fact, the Quartermaster, the leader. I was recruited because of my ancestry, but anyone worthy and wishing to serve the crown of Genovia may join. And yes before you ask, I did send Guttiseppi to an early grave, but such was not my intention. I sent him there, because when the first break in at the royal palace occurred, the Brotherhood suspected someone was trying to find Captain Sparrow's lost guest room. When the break in at the embassy happened, our fears were confirmed. I sent Guttiseppi to keep an eye on you, make sure you didn't discover the room...when the culprit had the audacity to come and kill him."

"If you guys are so secretive, why did Guttiseppi tell Mr. Monk about the Pirate Queen and give him his pin?" Natalie asked.

"The Brotherhood always knew that one day...only a man as clever as Captain Sparrow would come along and figure out our secrets. It is a sacred principle that we would tell such a man our secrets. I hesitated in deciding, but Guttiseppi knew. You are that man Mr. Monk." The Prime Minister said.

"What is that coat of arms anyway?" Stottlemeyer asked. The Prime Minister responded taking off his own enamel pin from under his lapel,

"The sparrow in flight was a tattoo Captain Sparrow had on his arm as well as his pirate flag. The ship is of course the Black Pearl...and Captain Sparrow always went for the horizon line when seeking fame and fortune."

"And the lion and the pear?" Monk asked knowing the answer.

"Symbols of Genovian royalty." Motaz said.

"Were Captain Sparrow and Mignonette in love?" Natalie asked. Motaz nodded,

"They were...at least once...Mignonette built Windrose for her pirate lover."

"Don't you know for sure?" asked Randy.

"The secret...the true secret remains a mystery...even to the Brotherhood today. We only assume the secret was Captain Sparrow was Mignonette's lover and secret business partner. Such a secret brings down kingdoms." Motaz said.

"What about this secret verse every brother is suppose to learn after five years?" Monk asked pointing to the page. Motaz sighed,

"Unfortunately...when the last founding father...or mother in this case...Elizabeth Turner died...The Brotherhood Verse was lost...before she could tell the new Quartermaster where the Verse was."

"You're not the guy are you?" Monk asked.

"I'm not the guy." Motaz said.

"You were wrong Mr. Monk?" Julie asked.

"Had to happen eventually..."Monk sighed.

"Wow...this is tripped up! Secret societies...political plots...long lost love affairs...Man I wish I wasn't the Queen's best friend! This would so make a killer story!" Lily cried.

"So what do you know about how Mignonette and Sparrow got together?" Stottlemeyer asked ignoring the young reporter's rant. Motaz began to tell them,

"The Brotherhood does know a great deal about what happened to cause the great love of their Captain. If I recall correctly, it all began...in Tortuga."

A/N: This is a preview for a work in progress coming soon to F .F . Net. I always wanted to do a Norrington/OC fic and then inspriation struck gold! Inspriation based on my favorite old sitcom.

The Governess

Before a Nanny from Queens named Miss Fine scratched her spiked heels on Mr. Sheffield's Park Ave. floor, a pirate governess from Cheapside, London named Fanny Sparrow raided the life of Port Royal Commodore James Norrington and his three precocious wards.
