Leslie and I walk out of the tavern and sit at the edge of the dock. I look out towards the ocean as the sun sets and she looks over at me.
"I don't get it." She says and I return her gaze.
"Get what Les?" She looks around her.
"How you can feel so calm here. I mean, I would rather be trying to get home, where I could get some EVIAN, than be just staring out at the ocean like you are. How do you do it?" I smile at her and shrug.
"Because where you see something unknown to you, I see something familiar and simple. Where you see danger as the sun sets, I see somewhere to relax. I see this place in its simplicity." She looks out to the ocean and smiles.
"I beg to differ miss." A voice says and I look over my shoulder before jumping up quickly. In front of me is him. The one man I was trying to avoid. Jack Sparrow. I clear my throat and look at him.
"How would beg to differ, Mr…"
"Sparrow. Jack Sparrow."
"Mr. Sparrow?" I say, as if I didn't already know who he was.
"Because what is a world with simplicity? What is a world without danger? For me, life is an adventure and if life isn't adventurous, then it really isn't a life at all. Is it?" He says and I smile. He smiles back and I say,
"You permit a perfect point sir but with all do respect, life being simple, relaxing, and calm is the best life for some of the people here." He nods thoughtfully and rubs his chin.
"Point taken, young miss." He then turns me to face the ocean and puts his hands on my shoulders. I look down at Leslie and see her smiling. "Show me the world through your innocent eyes." I close my eyes and let the sounds of the ocean wash over me.
"I see a world without violence. Where no man belongs to no one else. Where everyone is equal. And where no one can look down on anyone. That's what I see." I open my eyes and turn around to face him. He looks thoughtful for a minute and then asks,
"What's your name?"
"Destiny. Destiny Jones." He smiles and looks at Leslie.
"I'm Leslie Parkenson." She rises and he looks at the both of us.
"Come with me." He turns and walks away. We follow him onto his ship and into his cabin. That's when Will looks up and his eyes lock with mine. I see Leslie, out of the corner of my eye, look at him and blush. He looks over at her and you can see the sparks fly.
'OH NO!'
