Disclaimer: I don't own Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest

Jack stared straight ahead looking out to the ocean. Nikki still stood her place by his side looking at the compass every now and then and directing Jack which way to go. All of a sudden Nikki saw Jack's eyes widen and he raised his left hand staring at it in shock.

"Jack? What's wrong?" Nikki said gently taking his wrist and pulling it down to her eye level. Her eyes grew as big as Jack's as she saw the familiar black dot reappear on Jack's hand.

"Land Ho'!" Gibbs yelled from the deck breaking Nikki and Jack out of their trances.

"I want my jar of dirt." Jack said heading to his cabin. Nikki called Gibbs to take the wheel, and then quickly followed after Jack. When she got to the cabin she saw Jack hugging the jar of dirt he had gotten.

"Come on Jack, we'll be fine when we get to land. Then we'll get the chest and you'll be fine." Nikki said gently taking his right hand and leading him out of the cabin to the longboat where the others are waiting. Nikki and Jack climbed in sitting in the bow, Elizabeth and Norrington were sitting in the back and Pintel and Ragetti took their places by the oars.

"You're pullin' too fast." Pintel complained pulling on his oar.

"You're pulling too slow. We don't want the Kraken to catch us." Ragetti said pulling his oar harder.

"I'm savin' me strength for when it comes. And I don't think it's Krack-en, anyways. I always heard it said Kray-kin." Pintel said simply.

"What, with the long A?" Ragetti asked looking at Pintel with a raised eyebrow. Pintel nodded his head, "No-no-no-no-no-no-no. Krock-en's how it's pronounced in the original Scandinavian and Krack-en's closer to that." Nikki twitched a little her hands clutched at her side.

"Well we ain't original Scandinavians, are we? Kray-ken!" Pintel said. That was it for Nikki.

"Will you two just shut up!" Nikki yelled at the two. Everyone, but Jack looked at her shocked then quickly looked away and the boat went silent. She sighed and leaned against Jack's chest. Finally after what seemed like forever the boat landed on the beach. Jack took Nikki's hand helping her out of the boat and the two started to walk off.

"Guard the boat, mind the tide... Don't touch my dirt." Jack stated as the two kept walking. Nikki heard Norrington and Elizabeth quickly following them. "Love where to?"

"This way." Nikki lead them towards the sand dune near the beach.

"How do we know that stupid thing even works?" Elizabeth complained plopping down onto the sand. Nikki glared at.

'She's such a brat!' Nikki thought to herself, then looked down at the compass, "Princess would you mind moving."

"Beg your pardon?" Elizabeth asked looking up at her.

"Could you get any stupid?" Nikki asked back. Elizabeth glared at her and Nikki heard Jack snicker quietly by her side, "You're sitting on it you idiot." Norrington, Jack and Nikki all grab shovels and start digging. After a while the shovels hit something hard. Jack pulled it up from the hole and dusted it off. Jack opened it and found a pearl necklace, documents, a smaller chest and other miscellaneous things. Elizabeth takes and opens one of the letters with a wax seal and reads it to herself. Meanwhile Nikki and Jack put their ears to the small chest and hear a heartbeat.

"It's real!" Elizabeth exclaimed.

"You actually were telling the truth." Norrington said looking at the stuff that was in the chest.

"I do that quite a lot. Yet people are always surprised." Jack said smiling.

"With good reason!" They heard someone yell. Everyone looked towards the ocean and was shocked as they saw Will appear and start walking towards the group.

"Will! You're alright! Thank God! I came to find you!" Elizabeth yelled running over and giving Will a kiss on the lips. Nikki rolled her eyes at the two.

"How did you get here?" Jack asked Will blinking in surprise by his sudden entrance.

"Sea turtles mate. A pair of them, strapped to my feet." Will replied in a smart-ass comment.

"Not easy is it?" Jack said smirking and Nikki smiled at him.

"But I do owe you thanks Jack?" Will said walking closer, "After you tricked me onto that ship to square your debt with Jones."

"What?" Elizabeth yelled whipping around and glaring at Nikki and Jack.

"I was reunited with my father." Will said simply glaring at Jack.

"Oh! Well... you're welcome, then." Jack said waving his hand in front of him.

"Everything you two said…every word was a lie!" Elizabeth yelled furious still glaring at the two pirates.

"Have we explained this to you before? Man you're an idiot." Nikki said smirking as she saw the two of them get angry, "We are pirates after all." Will all of a sudden swooped down pulling out the key to the chest.

'How the hell did he get that?' Nikki thought to herself about to move to grab the chest.

"Oy! What're you doing?" Jack yelled grabbing the chest before Will could get to it.

"I'll going to kill Jones." Will said standing up to look at Jack.

Nikki: Finally we found the chest, but now Will and Norrington are trying to take it from us. (sigh) We better get off this island soon, I have a bad feeling. Next time- A duel for a key. See you there.
