Beth was sitting on the floor humming to herself while Jack was a trying to pick the lock.

"Hey Jack, since I know what you're doing I will give you some advice," Beth said, absentmindedly braiding a few strands of hair. "It's not going to wo-ork!" She said in a sing-song British voice.

"Well, instead of just sitting there, why don't you figure a way to get us out!" He grumbled.

"Don't have to," Beth said leaning against the wall, as Will came storming into the prison. Jack let go of the bone

"Hey Will!" Beth smiled.

"You there, Sparrow!" a slightly breathless Will barked, focusing on Jack.

"Hey!" Jack said, now lying on his back.

"You are familiar with that ship, the Black Pearl?"

"I've heard of it," Jack said in a would-be-casual voice.

"No Duh!"

"Don't you ever shut up?" Jack turned on her, annoyed.

"Nope!"

"Where does it make berth?" Will continued.

"Where does it make berth? Have you not heard the stories?" Will had no reaction. Jack sighed and told him. "Captain Barbossa and his crew of miscreants sail from the dreaded Isla de Muerta…"

"It's an island that cannot be found except by those who already know where it is," Beth recited.

"How did you know?" Jack asked

"We went over this last night" Beth sighed

"The ship's real enough. Therefore its anchorage must be a real place. Where is it?" Will interrupted, pressing to get more information.

"Why ask me?"

"Because you're a pirate, Jack!" Beth said in a blatant tone.

"And you want to turn pirate yourself, is that it?" Jack said, nodding at Will.

"Never!" Will declared. Finally, looking as though he was going to regret it but was seriously desperate, he admitted, "They took Miss Swann."

"Oh, so it is that you've found a girl!" Jack said, looking happy that he was right. "I see…Well, if you're intending to brave all, hasten to her rescue and so win fair lady's heart you'll have to do it alone, mate. I see no profit in it for me what-so-ever."

"I can get you out of here."

"And now we know that's why I didn't help earlier" Beth smirked

"How's that? The key's have run off," Jack pointed out, indicating the direction in which the doggie had run.

"I helped build these cells. These are half pin-barrel hinges."

"And with the right leverage and the proper application of strength, the door will lift free!" Beth finished excitedly. "What?" Everyone just looked at her.

"What's your name, son?" Jack asked

"Will Turner."

There was a small glint of something in Jack's eyes. "That will be short for William, I imagine. Good, strong name. No doubt, named for your father, eh?"

"Yes," Will replied suspiciously, recognizing the sudden change in Jack's attitude.

"Uh-huh…. Well, Mr. Turner, I've changed me mind! If you spring us from this cell, I swear on pain of death we shall take you to the Black Pearl and your bonny lass. Do we have an accord?"

Will held out his hand to Jack "Agreed."

"Agreed! Yay!"

"Agreed. Now get us out." Will lifted the bench, fitted it between the bars and detached it from the doorframe. "Hurry. Someone will have heard that."

"Not without my effects!" Jack grabbed his effects.

"Why bother with that?" Will asked, nodding at Jack's gun. "You could've killed me before but you weren't willing to use it."

"Are you advising me that was a mistake?" Jack said, pointing the gun at Will.

"It's because…" Beth began, but then shut up and grinned at the look on Jack's face. He turned back to face Will.

"When you've only got one shot, it's best to wait for the opportune moment," Jack told Will. "That wasn't it…" he put down his gun. "Nor is this." The three ran out of the jail and made a run for the ships.

Will, Jack and Beth were hiding out under a bridge.

"We're going to steal a ship?" Will asked, scandalized. "That ship?" He pointed.

"Commandeer," Jack and Beth corrected.

"We're going to commandeer that ship. Nautical term," Jack explained.

"Don't worry you'll get used to it," Beth said to Will, giggling. Jack peered out at the ship, then turned to Will.

"One question about your business, boy, or there's no use going. This girl…how far are you willing to go to save her?" Jack asked.

"I'd die for her," Will replied passionately. Beth sighed, loving him.

"And you, love," Jack said. "Why are you joining us?"

"Hello! My best friend is right now held captive by an insane group of undead pirates! Plus, don't worry if I die, fine with me. It'd be rather interesting, really."

"Oh, good. No worries, then."

A couple minutes later everyone was under an overturned boat and walking under water. Beth, being a good six inches shorter than both Jack and Will, was sort of pedaling her feet because they couldn't touch the bottom.

"This is either madness or brilliance," Will said his voice echoing in the boat.

"It's remarkable how often those two traits coincide," Jack quipped. Beth laughed as Will got his foot stuck in an lobster trap. "Drop-dead gorgeous, but stupid!" She muttered just loud enough for Jack and Will to hear. Will turned bright red at this statement.

They reached a rope hanging down from the Dauntless, climbing up as quietly as possible.

Will silently pulled her up on the boat, and Jack pulled out his sword, walking straight into the group of armed soldiers.

"Everyone stay calm!" he announced. "We are taking over this ship."

"Aye!" Will cried dramatically. "Avast!"

The men laughed and Jack looked disgusted.

"I rest my case with the oh-so-stupid comment," Beth said

"This ship cannot be crewed by two men," Gillette said smugly. "You'll never make it out of the bay."

Jack pulled out his pistol and aimed it at Gillette's nose. "Son, I'm Captain Jack Sparrow, savvy?"

"I'd trust him on this one, ice cream," Beth told Gillette.

The other soldiers began to aim their guns, but paused when Beth and Will pointed their swords menacingly at Gillette.

"Commodore!"

Commodore Norrington looked up from his map on the deck of the Interceptor to see his second-in-command waving his arms wildly in a lifeboat. Beth watched from the helm clutching her side because she was laughing so hard.

"Here they come," Will said as the Interceptor began to give chase. Jack smiled from behind the helm, not attempting to flee. He actually looked happy that they were coming.

The soldiers quickly boarded the Dauntless giving Beth Jack, and Will time to swing on to the interceptor. As there were only two ropes, Jack had one and Will hung on with one hand and had his other arm fully around Beth. She bit her lower lip and smiled happily. When they got on the Interceptor, Jack ran to the helm as Will went over and started cutting the ropes connecting the boat.

"Thank you, Commodore, for helping make way!" Jack called out. Beth doubled over laughing at the look on Norrington's face.

"Nice Jack she said, and then sauntered off below deck.

Will walked down the stairs to the crew's quarters to try and find Beth.

"Hello young Master Turner" came a voice from behind him. Will spun around to see Beth smiling and standing behind him.

"Why did you call me that?" He asked curiously.

"Because it's fun! So, you seem to be taking the news of your pirate blood rather well," Beth said cheerfully "How did you know" Will asked. "Magic" She said. Beth took pride in her weirdness.

"Anyway let's go on deck, Jack's waiting for us," she said walking up the stairs.

"Feeling better?" Jack asked. "Yes, so how long till we get to Tortuga?" She asked.

"About three hours, and by the way be careful" Jack said. "Don't worry I'll be fine, you on the other hand…" she smirked.
