Happy Birthday to me!

Well, tommorrow at least!
And you would not believe all the cooly pirate stuff I'm getting!
♥♥♥♥ I LOVE MY WILL PILLOW!!!!!!!!! ♥♥♥♥
Gah, Orlando is way too hot...
..nah...he's perfect...

It should be totally ilegal to kill...or almost kill...or somewhat kinda sorta but not really...kill Orlando Bloom off in a movie.
Do you know how many girls were dying in the stupid movie theater?
Well, chances are...you were one of them.
My makeup was long gone, and I clawed my mest guy friend to pieces as I screamed...
I haven't freaked out that much since Johnny got eaten by the Kraken...
...or when Will got lashed...
That was painful.
I think I was yelling more than he was.

But I know who you could kill off.
But I'll never tell, for fear of getting killed.
So I'll just sit back, be calm...exhale deeply while hugging my brand new and totally hot Will pillow,
and upload my new chapter.

Gah, I have lost it.
But apparently you have too, since you just read my complete and totally insane babble about nothing.
See? Still going.
I'm like the Energizer Bunny.

Another year has not been good to me, as you can see.

I wonder what I'll be like when I'm 90?

♥♥♥♥

All of the pirates froze when Calypso materialized in her human form, just before them. Even though she was in her human form, she had changed since the last time Jack and Will had seen her...which would have been her turning into a million crabs on the deck of the Black Pearl.

Jack shudder against his tight ropes as he remembered that though. But as I was saying, even though she was in her human form, she was most definetley a goddess. She was gorgeous, and aside from her hair and skin color, looked a lot like her daughter who was still on the ground with a sword at her throat.

Calypso looked down at the form of her daughter, lying with at sword at her throat. She just shook her head and said, "No one hurts her." And all she did was raise her hand in the air, and instantly the pirate holding the sword flew backwards against stone. Either he was knocked out or-

"Did you kill him?" One of the pirates asked her in a squeaky voice. He instantly regretted it, because she asked him, "Ya wanna be next?" He screamed and ran from the campsite. The others followed him, and soon disappearing behind the rocky hills.

"Come on." She said, leaning down to help her daughter up. "We don't have much time. He be sending his army back up here once he knows it be me." Michelle just stared at her for a minute, before jumping into her arms. Calypso laughed and said, "Me baby." She pulled back so she could push back some of Ellie's hair, "I missed ya."

"I've missed you too." Elle said as a tear rolled down her cheek. She hugged her mother again, and said, "So much." As Caplypso hugged her daughter, her eyes fell on Jack as he tried to untangle himself from the ropes. When the pirates ran off, Jack was sent to the ground and tangled in a rope web.

"Tia Dalma..." He said, sweetly. She looked at him for a moment, before saying, "Jack Sparrow." Michelle giggled when she saw the look on Jack's face. He got over it, and said, "Can you assist me?"

"I'll be expectin' a payment." She said with a wide grin. He gaped at her, and she looked at her daughter and said, "Should I?"

"I know what I would do, but you're a lot nicer than me." Michelle said, crossing her arms. Tia laughed, and walked over to Jack and untangled him. Elle smiled at her, and moved her head just a little. She was going to turn and see where her father's army had just ran, but her eyes locked with Will's. She gapsed and said, "Oh, gosh. Sorry, Will."

He smiled at her as she untangled him. When she was through, he stopped her by taking her hand. She closed her eyes, waiting for him to speak. "Why did you do that, darling?"

She didn't look at him, so he took his hand under her chin and lifted it up to his, "Will, I'm sorry." A tear rolled down her cheek. "I'm really sorry. It's just I knew that my mother wouldn't let me get hurt."

"But your father! He'll-"

"He won't do anything." She said, reaching out to smooth back his curls. He watched her do that, and she said with a small smile, "We'll get through this together, ok? He won't do anything to stop us."

Forgeting that her mother was a few feet in front of them, he leaned over and kissed her. "I love you."

She blushed slightly, more so at the fact that he did that in front of her mother, and said, "I love you too."

"Not trying to interrupt this moment that makes me feel as if I had eaten a Kraken eyeball-" Jack said, walking past the couple on the ground as Tia watched him with some amuesment. He picked up the key, and tossed it to Elle, "-you may want to keep an eye on this-" He picked up the heart, placed it back in the chest, and said, "-William? You don't want to lose this-" He picked up a small bag of treasure and shook it, smiling at the jingle.

"I think wha' Jack is tryin' to say is, we need to get out of here." Tia said, lowering her eyes to her daughter and smiling. Michelle gave a nod to answer her mother's unspoken question.

After Will was freed, Michelle looked up at her mother, and asked, "Did you know about-" She glanced at Will, and walked closer to her mother and said in a whisper so he couldn't hear her, "-about Elizabeth?"

"Yes." Tia said, motioning for her daughter to follow her. "I did, darlin', but I couldn't tell ya."

"Why ever not?" Michelle asked her, in a harsher tone. "I'm to be possessed by the soul of my cousin, and you don't tell me? And, mother, I don't know if you knew this or not, but now I'm the Pirate Queen-"

"-king." Jack corrected her, sitting on a barrel, drinking from a rum bottle he found on the ground while Will looked at him, disgusted.

"Whatever." Elle said, turning back to her mother. "Mom, do you know how much stress that can put on a twenty year old?" She raised a curl up to let her mother see, "Look! I think I have a gray hair now!" Tia sighed and took the curl out of her daughter's hands.

"Wait...you're the Pirate Queen?" Will asked. Michelle, Tia, and Jack looked at Will, having forgot he was there. Elle's face dropped as she silently cursed herself for saying that so he could hear it.

"King." Jack said, irratated.

"Whatever." Will said, taking the rum bottle out of his hands, and tossing it to the ground. "How did this happen?"

"You missed a lot, William." Jack said, more irratated, as he looked for the rim bottle that Will had just tossed to the ground. Will shook his head as Jack found it and began drinking from it again. Will glanced back at Elle and said, "Why didn't you tell me?"

"Because!" She said, in an angry voice. "I find out, from all people, Jack Sparrow!" She turned to her mother, "Mother, couldn't you have told me yourself? I mean, this hasn't been the only thing you've kept from."

"What else have I kept from ye?" She asked her daughter, placing her hands on her hips.

"You didn't tell me that you were a goddess! And you lied to me about who my father was."

"That was to protect you."

"From what? I grew up thinking that Davy Jones was my father, and you tell me that my father's actually some man that you didn't even love?" She was crying now as she said, "I mean, what was I suppossed to do? Embrace the mad man that wants me dead because he thinks that I'm a recarnation of Elizabeth who swore to kill him but died before she did so?"

Will looked from Tia to Elle and back again, before asking, "Recarnation? What are we talking about?"

"Do I look anything like her? No."

"Yes."

Elle turned around to look at Jack, as he played with his compass, "Yes. You do look like her. And act like her sometimes too."

She stared at him, stunned, before looking at Will who almost reluctantly nodded in agreement. A tear formed in her eye as she asked the exact question Will was hoping she wouldn't, "Is that the only reason you love me?"

He didn't answer, not sure how to. She nodded and said, "That's what I thought." She twirled the key to the chest around in her hand as she tried to hold back her tears. Tia sighed, and said, "Darlin'-"

"No, I'm fine." Elle said, going to sit on the rock a few feet away from him. Jack laughed and said, "Good job, Turner. Ow!" He rubbed his head and looked at Tia who had just thrown a rock at him. She smiled at him, then said, "I know an abandoned cabin not far from here."

"How do you know this place so well, may I ask?" Jack said, getting up to follow her. Tia didn't answer him, she just looked back to see Elle wiping her tears on her hand, and Will not being able to look at her.

"Ah, young love." Jack said. Tia groaned, and walked ahead of him. "What? WHAT?" He asked, walking faster to catch up with her.

When they got to the cabin, Tia put a charm on it, so no one could get inside it. Jack walked over to the window, and said, "What do we do?"

Tia walked over to him and said, "Give him what he wants." And with that, she walked away from him, leaving a confused Jack behind. Ellie was sitting on a chair by the fire, Jack noticed that her face was a lot paler. He had thought that it was just because of Will, but now he wasn't so sure.

She coughed rather violently, before leaning back in the chair. He was going to walk over to her, but he stopped when Will got there first. He just made his way into the room that Tia had gone in, wanting nothing more than to bother here.

"Elle-" He stopped when she coughed again. She didn't want to, but she did. He sighed, "You're sick again, aren't you?"

She sniffed, "No. Of course not. Not that you would care."

"Ellie, I'm sorry!" He said, moving closer to her. "I'll admit that you reminded me of her, but that's not why I love you." He put an arm around her and said, "I love you. But I'll always love Elizabeth-"

"As I would expect you to. I'm sorry, Will." She said, resting her head against him. He wrapped his arms around her, and once again, her skin was extremely hot. "Elle-"

"Will-" She said, in a scratchy voice. "-I'm fine."

Much to her dismay, she started coughing again.After she was done, Will pulled her back to him and said, "Michelle, you are not fine. Why haven't you asked your mother to help you?"

"Because she doesn't need to." Elle said, sitting up, and resting her head in her hands. She was trying to hide it, but Will saw a tear roll down her visibly paler skin. He put a hand on her back and moved it in little circles, soon to find that she was shaking.

"Elle."

She just shook her head, "It's not like me to admit that I'm actually scared, but-" It broke Will's heart to hear that. And when he felt that, he actually glanced over at the chest. Feeling completely stupid for doing that, he turned back to Elle and said, "Why are you scared?"

All she had to do was turn to him, and that let him know that she wasn't scared because of her father or anything like that.
It was because she was sick again.

"I'll ask my mother in the morning." She finally said, resting her head against Will's chest again. With one hand on her hip, he ran the other thru his curls like he did when he was upset or frustrated. She sighed when she saw him do this and said, "Will, not now-"

"Darling, just do it for me. Please." She looked up at him when she heard his voice. It was so shaky, and pent with emotion that she barely recognized it as Will's voice. That made her feel worse, hadn't she put him thru enough today? So she nodded and said, "Fine."

Before getting up, she leaned over and kissed Will's cheek. He closed his eyes when he felt her hot skin against his. When she pulled back, Will said, "I do love you."

She smiled as she stood up and said to him, "I know you. I do love you too."

♥♥♥♥

"I couldn't do anything to help her." Tia said, shaking her head, and staring at the ground. "I couldn't." She wiped a tear away from her eye, and looked up at Will. Jack was silent as he stared out the window, not really looking at anything. Will looked away from Jack, and asked her mother, 'Why couldn't you?"

"Her mind wasn't set." The goddess said, getting up. "As weird as it may sound-" She said in that familiar accent, "It be true. I cannot help somone who doesn't want it."

Will closed his eyes, as Jack said, "Well, why the bloody hell does she not want it?" Will opened his eyes again to see that Jack had walked over to where they were, and was looking either very upset or very angry. Maybe a mixture of both.

She shook her head to answer his question, and glanced over at Will. Jack did too, before saying, "Talk to her. She'll listen to you."

"Jack, I've already tried. She won't listen to me."

"Will, please." Will stared a moment into the emotion-filled eyes he barely recognized as his friend's. As much as he hated this man sometimes, he couldn't be more far from that emotion right now. He reluctantly nodded, and said, "Where is she?"

He walked up the narrow stairs, to see her sitting beside the open window. It was a perfect view of the untouched sea. Everything else almost was stone on this island, but the sea remained the same. He tore his eyes off of the gorgeous view of the sea, and to Michelle who once again looked sick and weak.

Even though she hadn't seen him, she said, "I guess she told you."

"Yes." He said, making his way over to the window seat. Once he sat beside it, he said, "Ellie, why don't you want her help?" He tried to say that in the calmest voice possible, but it didn't sound like it. She must have heard this, because she looked over at him.

"Will, I don't want her help because I don't care what happens to me." Will followed her eyes to the view of the sea once more. "Who am I to change the path that I was put on. I mean, even my mother taught me everything happened for a reason. And for some weird reason, I feel like this should happen."

"That you should die?" He shouted at her. She was taken off guard, and looked over at him, startled because Will never yelled at her. She looked on the verge of crying when she saw Will's tear filled eyes, and said, "I won't die."

And for some reason, Will believed her. She nodded again and said, "Will, promise me something. Whatever happens- " She took Will's hand in her own and said, with her face inches from his own, "-promise me that you'll believe that I won't die."

"What? Why?"

She smiled a smile Will instantly recognized as her mother's, and said, "Call it a goddess's intuition."

He took her back into his arms as he leaned against the wall of the window seat. They sat in silence like that for a while, her leaning against his strong body with his arms wrapped protectively around her. After a long moment of silence, not an awkward one, just a thoughtful one, he suddenly moved and said to her in a quiet voice, "Well, darling. If I promise you that, will you promise me something?"

"Anything."

He smiled as he asked, "Once we get off this island, will you marry me?" She felt him slip the ring on her finger. She shifted to look into his gorgeous brown eyes, and said, "Will? Did you really have to ask me that?" And she kissed him.

He pulled back after a moment, and said, "No, I knew you would say yes."

She pulled back too, and asked, "How?"

He smiled, resting his forhead on hers, shrugging as he said, "Call it a pirate's intuition."

♥♥♥♥

The next morning, she woke up to find herself wrapped snuggling in the bed. She glanced over at the window, to see the early morning sunlight seeping thru it. She walked over to it, and closed it. As she did that, she noticed that some of the stone was vanishing.

The stone island was vanishing slowly, and for the first time since she had gotten there, she saw an acutal palm tree.
Not a stone one, but the real one.

She pulled on her robe and walked down the stairs, "Mother, did you-" She stopped when all three of them turned to stare at her. "Hmm. Guess you did see it then." She walked over to Will and sat beside him as her mother paced back and forth.

"He knew we are here." She whispered quietly. "But his power is weakening." She walked over to the book she had on her table and said ,without looking at the three young people watching her closely, "When he killed Baldez during the Port Royal mutiny-"

"I thought Barbossa did that! Led the mutiny, I mean." She was interrupted by her daughter's question. She looked up at her daughter and said, "Aye. But after Jack took the Black Pearl back, Barbossa needed a ship and a first mate..."

Tia said that like everything had been cleared up, but the three looked on at her with confusion. Tia rolled her dark eyes, and looked back down at the book, "...Baldez promised him that he would curse him...cursed tha man sayin' that whatever he touch, become stone...and that this would go on, until the ressurection of the King..."

"Well, that's great." Michelle said, crossing her arms, and sliding down in her seat. Will watched her do so, before glancing back up at Tia, and asking, "Ressurection, meaning?"

Tia rolled her eyes again, letting Will see where Michelle got it from, and said irrateted that she was being intterupted again, "Resurrection meain' that Michelle will be possessed by the spirit of the once great Pirate King. After the King's mission is complete, she will move on."

"Where on earth is she going?!?" Will asked, rather loudly. Tia smacked her head and said, "The old King! Not Michelle!"

"Oh." Will said, trying to stay calm, but failing to do that.

Tia sighed, and looked back down at the book. No one knew why she was looking down at this book, because it wasn't telling her the story that she was telling. But this was Tia, Calypso, whatever you wanted to call her.

When did she ever do anything remotely sane?

"...the only thing that can cure his curse completely is the Amethsyt of Baldez..."

"I thought he knew where that was!"

Tia glared up at Jack, feeling murderous that she was interrupted again, and said, "Yes. But he cannot touch it, can he? It will turn into stone!"
Jack looked confused, and said, "But it's already an amethyst."

"But not a stone."

"But it's-"

"JACK!"

He smiled, shutting up, and waited patiently for her to continue, "...should a non-cursed person ever have possesion of the amethyst, they shall become ruler of the seas." Jack smiled at that bit. Tia looked up and said, "Why do I feel like there's someone else involved."

She walked over to the window as she said, "Barbossa left your father on this island to die after he became cursed." Jack went on as if he had not noticed the irony of that.

"So, Barbossa probably heard that Jack was going to find the amethyst that makes him ruler of the sea, and came after him. Which would explain those pirates. I recognized one man from Barbossa's crew. That's not my father's crew, that was Barbossa's crew staging to be my father's crew so that they could get you to lift the curse of my father so they could kill them themselves and get the amethyst."

Everyone stared at her because no one had said anything about Barbossa doing something like that. She shrugged, and said, "What? Use your context clues, people. Barbossa's an insane pirate. What do insane pirates do? They go after cursed things."

"Yes, but why would he still be alive?" Jack asked her.

"Darling, I'm 21. You traded me with Barbossa 5 years ago for the fountain of youth which he had stolen from you and then somehow got it back...so, he's here for the same reason you are."

"But I have the fountain."

"Yes, that's what I said."

"Then why do I also have the Pearl. Shouldn't he have the Pearl too?"

Eveyone was silent for a momen before Will said in a clearly annoyed voice, "Jack, this whole stupid story is already plently confusing as it is without you making it even worse by talking nonsense."

"Ah, someone's in a moody mood today, William." Jack spat at Will. Will spun around and glared at Jack ,"Well, if you would just keep your big mouth shut-"

"Oh!" Jack said, clapping his hands together, "Look who's talking, Mr. Jack Sparrow Sent Me To Settle His Debt!"

"YOU TOLD ME TO SAY THAT!"

"WELL WHEN DID YOU START LISTENING TO ME!?"

"SILENCE!"

Both of them turned away from each other, reluctantly, to stare at Tia's angry face, "Both of ye, shut up!" She massaged her temples as she sat back down and said, "We need to get this amethyst before his powew runs out."

"Why?"

"Because, Jack. If his power runs out while we're in the cave, we'll turn into stone." Will turned around to face Jack again, and said, "Would you want that?"

"No." Jack said with a genuine smile. "But, I could think of a certain captain of a certain Flying Dutchman that I would love to be stone."

"Boys." Elle said, breaking them up. "Honestly."

"If it wasn't for you, I'd be leaving." Will said, to Elle, as he turned around.

"Oh, by all bloody means." Jack said, sitting on the other side of her, spinning a rum bottle in his hands, "Leave! I won't miss you."
"Jack." Elle said in a warning tone, she turned back to her mother, and asked, "What do we do?"

"We'll leave in one hour. That'll make it so the sun is fully risen. He doesn't come out during the day. You, my dear, will probably be possessed sometime tonight-"

"Fun."

"So, I need you to do me a favor." She pulled out a bottle with a pink liquid and said, "Drink this."

"Mother, I told you I didn't need your help." She looked at Will, and said , "You did this."
"Michelle, he did not do a thing. You are not strong, and the possession tonight will kill you if ya do not drink this."

Michelle grabbed the bottle from her mother and said, "I'll meet you three in a hour then." And she walked back up the stairs.

Tia saw the ring on her daughter's hand as she walked up, and turned with a smile to Will. He smiled too, but was cut off by Jack's singing:

"Yo, ho yo Ho A PIRATE'S LIFE FOR ME!"

Will tried to ignore Jack's horrid singing as Tia sighed and said, "This is goin' to be a long day."
