Back in London, John Smith was preparing his ship to travel. He has been waiting for this chance, for a very long time. It has been his dream to have his own ship. And get to travel anywhere in the world that he wanted to, and now it has come true. So, why was John Smith feeling like that something was still missing in his life?
John Smith had everything that he wanted, but still was not happy. And he knew the very reason why,it was because of Pocahontas. It has been months sinse her departure from London, and John Smith has been thinking of her ever sinse. He could'nt help about still having feelings for her. Even though Pocahontas told him that she felt, that they have followed different paths. John Smith still loved and still does love Pocahontas with all his heart. And very much wants to be with her, but at that time he also wanted to travel. He actually wanted both Pocahontas and his ship at the same time. But his plan did'nt turn out like he hoped it would.
Pocahontas had choosed to be with John Rolfe and not him. So John Smith's dreams of being with her were shattered. It was his dession of having his own ship to travel on, instead of being with Pocahontas. It was that dession that John Smith now regretted. And now he wishes that he could fix the mistake that he made. And tell her that he still loves her, and also tell Pocahontas his true feelings about her. John Smith also wants to tell her, that he was sorry for his actions when she was there in London. And he also wants to tell her, about not letting her know that he was alive,and for not writting her letters all of those years.
As John Smith was just standing in silance on his ship's dock. One of his men from the crew walked up to him, while he was still in a day dream. "Captain,we have all the suplies ready. And we are ready to set sail" the man said. "Huh?"John Smith said. Not hearing what his crew man just said to him, he turned around and faced him. And told his crew man to repeat to him about what he was talking about. "Captain, I said that we have all the suplies ready. And we are ready to set sail" The man repeated.
"Oh, okay. I'm sorry, I guess I was thinking about something else" John Smith said to his crew man. "So, would you like me to give the orders out to the men sir?" the crew man who was the second in charge of the ship. John Smith just stood there and thinked for a moment. Before he gave his answer, than finaly he spoke. "I can't leave"was all John Smith said.
The crew man just stood there,and gave his captain a confused look and than said."Why can't you leave?""I just can't do this,its wrong"John Smith said with a look of guilt on his face.The crew man still confused,started talking again with his captain.And John Smith started to explain everything to him,including the reasons why he can't travel.
"But Captain, everything and everybody is here. We are set to go, and now you are telling us, that you don't want to leave. I...we...all thought this was what you wanted" the crew man said trying to reason with the captain. "I was wrong, I did'nt realize any of this until now. And I apolgize for all the truoble that you all had to do today" John Smith explained.
Soon all the other crew members was wondering what was it taking so long. And they all went to see their captain,and saw him talking to another crew man. Finaly John Smith finnished talking to one of his crew man. And saw all the others gathering around wondering what was going on. That's when John Smith held up a hand, trying to get their attetion. Than after John Smith had all their attetion, he started to explain everything. The only thing he did'nt metion to his crew, was about Pocahontas.
After John Smith had a word with his crew, he apolgized to them for the inconvince he has caused. And also told them all, that he has to discuss something with the king. And that the ship will not leave until fether notice, or at least until after his talk with the king. And they will be all notified, if or when its' time to leave. Finally after the long discussion was over, John Smith gave orders for everybody to secure the ship and the cargo. And aterwards to go home, until they got a word.
Soon after everybody was gone, John Smith left his ship and headed towards the palace. On the way to talk with the king, John Smith started again to think about Pocahontas.And begain to wonder how would she react or do, if she saw him again? John Smith could'nt stop thinking about her, she was all that was on his mind on the way to the palace. John Smith knew he was wrong for leaving Pocahontas behind, and letting her go. He hopes that he can make things right again with her. But John Smith knows that Pocahontas is with John Rolfe and that she loves him. And even though it broke his heart, he respected her dession to be with John Rolfe. But John Smith still can't help but feeling guilt for what he has done to her. He has also tryed blocking out his true feelings, and also tryed to forget about Pocahontas. But no matter how hard John Smith has tryed, he still feels love for her.
Finally as John Smith got closer to the palace, he pushed his thoughts of Pocahontas aside. Well at least for a while he would. As he got to the palace, he told the guards that was right outside the throne room, that he needs to speak with the king. "I will let thier majesty's know you are here"the guard said. "Thank you"John Smith said.
The guard went into the throne room, and told the king and queen that John Smith was waiting outside. And that he wishes to speak to speak with them. "Let Captain Smith in" the king said to his guard. The guard nodded, and walked to the door to let John Smith in. "You may enter,the king will see you now" the guard said letting John Smith pass him. "What is it you wish to speak to me about Captain Smith? You was suposed to leave by now!" the king told him, not happy to see John Smith still here.
"I know, I was suposed to be gone already, and I apolgize. But I just could'nt do it your majesty. I could not leave without asking of changing my ship's destnation" John Smith said. "You wish to change your ship's route?" the king asked him. "Yes, I need to go back to Virginia sir" John Smith explained. That's when the king and queen looked at each other, than turned back to face John Smith.
The king started to talking to him, and asked him why he wants to go back to Virginia. John Smith explained to the king and queen everything, including the reasons why he can't travel. "I gave you a ship to travel, as a reward for capturing Ratcliffe. And now you are saying you can't? We thought this was what you wanted?" the king said to John Smith.
"I did thought this was something I wanted, but I was wrong." JOhn Smith said. Than he told the king and queen what he really wanted was a certain woman. Not just any women, only one and it was Pocahontas. "You are in love with her are'nt you?" the queen said as she smiled. "Yes,I'm in love with her. I want to spend rest of my life with her, than traveling the world" John Smith said as he contuened. "Being with Pocahontas is more important, than having a ship and all the riches. Please your majesty, will you let me go back to Virginia?" he pleaded with them.
The king sit there in his chair and looked at the queen. The queen looked back and nodded, than the king thought for a moment before he gave his answer. "You are sure you want to give up your ship and crew to be with Princess Pocahontas? Is this what you really want Captain Smith?" the king asked him. "Yes, I have'nt been more sure than I am right now your majesty" John Smith said to the king. "Well than, we both should think it over. Than we will let know of are desion Captain Smith" the king said. John Smith bowed down to them and thanked them than left the palace.
Later as John Smith was heading home, he could'nt stop but thinking about his vist with the king. He hoped that the king and queen will allow him, to go back to Virginia. He had missed Pocahontas and been wanting to see her ever sinse she left. John Smith hopes he does'nt have to wait too long to get a word back from the king about his desion. Days later, John Smith has waited to get a letter or some kind of message from the king. But he has heard nothing from them. The days turned into a week, and still no word at all from them.
John Smith started to get worried. 'It has been a week already, I wonder why I have'nt got a message yet. I really hope I get to see her again. I don't know what I'll do, if they won't let me go back'he thought to himself. 'Maybe, I should go talk to them again' John Smith said as he headed toward the door. But as he was getting ready to grab for the door knob, someone knocked. That's when he answered it to see a messanger with a letter in his hand.
"Captain John Smith?" the messanger said. "Yes, that's me" John Smith replied. "I have a important letter here from the king" the messanger said as he handed John Smith the letter. "Thank you" he said. "You're welcome Mr.Smith. Well, have a good day!" the messanger said. That's when John Smith said the same in return, than the messanger left. John Smith opened the letter, than read it carefully. As he was reading it, a smile come upon his face. He finally got the answer he has been waiting for, the king has changed his ship's destination.
Finally after all this time, John Smith was now preparing everything for his departure. He first made a apearance at the palace, to vist the king and queen. Than after that he notfied his crew,to prepare for them all for departure tommorow. The day is now here, and John Smith and his crew are preparing the ship to leave. After all the cargo was loaded and everybody on board, they started to set sail.
Now on the open sea, John Smith was getting excited. He could not wait until the day they arrive on the sea shores of Virginia. He wants so much to be with the woman that had captured his heart five years ago. He felt like it was taking forever just to get there. But even though it was taking a while to reach Virginia, John Smith was just happy to be where he is at. 'I'm on my way my love, I hope we can make things right between us again' he said to himself.
