"Miss, Tiffany? You have to get up." Maria shook Tiffany's arm.
"No." Was the muffled response.
"But its Miss. Elizabeth's wedding. I've got your dress all ready for you." Tiffany opened her eyes and closed them quickly.
"Too bright." She pulled herself up and swung her lugs over the side of the bed. She let out a long sigh.
"This is going to be a long day. Oh well, do you reckon James will be there? I haven't seen him in a long time."
"I'm sure he will, Tiffany. Now if we get you ready we can go see. Come on."
"Fine."
"Elizabeth? Are you in there?" Will tapped on the door.
"Of course, come in." Will took a glance down the corridors and snuck into the room. Elizabeth rushed to Will.
"What are we going to do? He can't be seen." Will frowned.
"We could clean him up and maybe he'd look better. If not…we give him a cloak." Elizabeth shook her head.
"How do we get him in?" She asked.
"The bigger problem is how we can get him in without suspicion. I figure he may just be able to sneak in. He's good at that kind of thing." Elizabeth nodded.
"Fine but he's your responsibility and tell him not to ruin this for us or else…" Will nodded and rushed from the room. Elizabeth frowned.
"Great…"
"This is Elizabeth's fault. I can't breathe and it's her fault. Bloody weddings and stupid corsets. Like anything is going to happen there anyway. They'll say 'I do' and that's all." Tiffany climbed from the carriage, followed by Maria.
"I'm sure they are very grateful for your being here, Tiffany."
"They better be. Now where are we sitting?" Maria led Tiffany to their seats and they sat down waiting for the music. Suddenly something caught Tiffany's eye.
"Maria, did you see that?"
"What?" Tiffany watched the cloaked figure lean against the pillar.
"There, that man." She said pointing but Maria shook her head. The music started. Elizabeth walked down the aisle in a long white dress. She looked beautiful. Tiffany watched carefully and her suspicion rose as Elizabeth turned to look at the cloaked man. He put his hands together in a praying motion and bowed his head. He smiled and continued walking.
"Strange…" Tiffany thought as the service commenced. Instead of watching the ceremony she watched the man. Before she knew it people were clapping. She joined in but her eyes and thoughts were still on the man.
"Who is he?"
"Oh, Will, Elizabeth, it was so lovely. I'm so happy for you." Tiffany said, smiling. Elizabeth hugged her friend.
"Uh, Elizabeth, who was the man?"
"What man?" Elizabeth said, almost too quickly.
"The man in the cloak. Who was he?" Elizabeth shrugged.
"No one."
"Oh, really. Fine, I'll find out by myself." And she walked off into the crowds. Elizabeth turned to Will.
"If she noticed…what are we to do?"
"Wait for the opportune moment, I suppose." Will said as the cloaked figure approached.
"Who was that?" The man asked.
"Elizabeth's friend. She's called Tiffany and she saw you." The cloaked man shrugged.
"Oh well, I'll be gone before ye know it." A voice came from behind the two men.
"Ah, Mr. Turner, I thought you'd invite the pirate." They turned around to face the man.
"Of course, I would, Commodore." Will said before he noticed Tiffany behind the Commodore.
Tiffany spotted James talking to Will. Stood by Will was the cloaked gentleman.
"Perfect…" Tiffany ran up behind James and jumped on his back, her arms around his neck. Will and the cloaked man laughed.
"James!" She jumped down and walked around to see his face. He smiled at her.
"Hello, Tiffany. You look stunning."
"Thank you, James." The cloaked man tried to sneak away but Tiffany caught his arm.
"Oh no you don't." She turned to Will and James.
"Who's your friend?" She asked. Will and James looked at each other. Tiffany frowned,
"Does everybody know except me?" She asked. Will frowned.
"Tiffany, he's no one. A distant cousin of my aunt's brother's nephew twice removed." Will said. Tiffany frowned until the Commodore stepped in.
"I won't lie to you, Tiffany, this is…" The cloaked man suddenly ran through the crowd.
"Hey! Come back here!" Tiffany ran after him only to be pursued by Will and James. The cloaked man ran, his arms flailing everywhere. He ran across a busy street with Tiffany, Will and James following. Suddenly he heard a scream. He spun around. The girl was on the road. He made his way back to help her but James and Will got there first. Will looked up to see his 'distant cousin of his aunt's brother's nephew twice removed'.
"Go!" He mouthed. The man nodded and disappeared into the crowd.
"How's the girl?"
"She's okay. A little bit confused, though. Elizabeth's with her. I'm going up in a minute, you should come, she's probably asleep and I know Elizabeth would love to see you."
"Of course." Will handed the man a tray of tea and biscuits.
"What, all for me?" He joked.
"Let's go see the Tiffany. And they are for her." Will added as the man ate one of the biscuits.
"Don't like them anyway." He said as the two of them walked up the stairs. They stopped outside the door when they heard Tiffany talking.
"Elizabeth, tell me a story. You know the one about you and Will and Captain Jack Sparrow." Tiffany smiled at Elizabeth.
"Only if you drink that medicine." Elizabeth brought the juice over. Tiffany stuck her tongue out.
"You drink it. It tastes like pond water." Elizabeth laughed.
"Have you ever tasted pond water?" Tiffany nodded.
"When Robert pushed me in. Don't you remember I came out covered in lilies and weeds?"
"And then you pushed him in." Elizabeth said, laughing.
"That's right. Now tell me the story."
"Drink the pond water."
"Story."
"Pond water."
"Story."
"Pond water."
"Story."
"Pond water."
"Story."
"Pond water."
"Oh, for God's sake. I don't even see why I have to drink it. There is nothing wrong with me; I just get dizzy if I get up too quick." Elizabeth gave Tiffany a stern look.
"Drink the pond water, Tiffany Margaret…"
"No don't say the full name, I'll drink it." Tiffany grabbed the cup and downed it. She screwed up her face.
"I think I'm gonna be sick." Elizabeth frowned.
"Drink this." Tiffany was passed another glass.
"What is it?"
"Water."
"Water? Water? You are giving me water? Fine." She drank the water.
"Now tell me the story."
"What?"
"You said you'd tell me the story of Captain Jack Sparrow, The Black Pearl, Barbossa, Will and you. Now tell me."
"You've heard it a hundred times."
"I know. Now start talking, Mrs. Turner."
