So. Some changes.
First is the name and the overall plot.
And second is that I'm going to be writing the final chapter.
Jade has decided that she's better at ideas, and I'm better at typing.
So we balanced out, and Jade became my lovely idea-er.
(yes that is a word now)
So this is still our product of one very long summer.
Anyways, enjoy!
And don't forget to review, because when I get 5, I'll post the
new chapter that's up and ready to go!
Love you, lovies!
Hugs and piratas caliente,
-Captain Autumn0

"I'm not asking her for you."

"Will."

"No."

"William."

"Jack."

The wind was blowing slightly as Will watched his crew hoist their colors high into the air. He knew Jack was staring at him with one of those trademark Sparrow expressions. He didn't have to look back for that. But when he did, he saw Jack leaning against the mast with a clearly distressed look on his ageless face. Lila was sitting on a barrel, swinging her legs back and forth, completely amused by this whole thing. And Will? Well, Will was just slightly upset that once again, someone was coming to him with their love problems.

Will sighed and leaned against the railing, the wind catching on the opening of his shirt making his scar noticable. That distracted Lila for a moment, but soon enough, she was torn out of her day dream and looked back over at the distressing captain that was leaning against the Dutchman's mast.

"Why?"

"Jack, you want her to marry you. I don't want her to marry me. Mate, if you haven't noticed, I am quite a bit married to your cousin." Will replied to Jack with a smirk as he pushed himself off of the railing and walked over to Lila. She beamed up at him as she felt his arms wrap around her. Will rested his head on top of hers and stared at Jack with a gleam in his eyes.

And Captain Jack Sparrow didn't like that gleam. He didn't like it one bit.

"Will."

"Jack! Goodness, it's not that bloody difficult, mate. All you have to do is say 'Will you marry me." Will smirked as Lila stifled a laugh at seeing Jack's expression. Jack was clearly nervous about this, that much was obvious. And as much as Lila was amused by this, Lila couldn't stand seeing Jack like this. Sighing, she hopped off of the rail, well as much of a hop as someone in her position could since she was feeling rather sick, and walked over to Jack.

"Alright, Turner. Sit on the barrel. You're going to be Saph. Now, Jack. Go propose to Will like you're going to propose to Saphie." Lila said, as if she had just been discussing how nice the weather was and not that she had just suggested what she had. Jack looked down at the young queen to see if she was joking, but she wasn't. Jack groaned, knowing he wouldn't get away with this one, and walked over to where Will was sitting on the barrel, smirking.

"Ok, now propose to hi-her."

"I'm not proposin' to William." Jack said in a disgusted tone, wrinkling his nose. That caused Lila to laugh as she said, "Darling, he's not Will. He's Saphira. Now, propose to him. Her."

Jack looked down at Will who looked about as amused as Lila did. Sighing, he said to Will in a bored voice, "Will you marry me?"

"And be bored? No. You didn't sound like you meant it. Get down on one knee." Jack looked over at Lila, glaring at her. But that didn't phase Lila at all, who kept smiling despite the sick feeling she was getting. Jack rolled his chocolate eyes and got down on one knee.

"Tha' better?"

"Yes. Now take his hand."

"Lila."

"Jack. Do it. Both of them." Lila smiled, very pleased, when she saw Jack's jaw drop. He glanced back down to see that Will was looking about as uncomforable as Jack was feeling. Knowing that she wouldn't change her mind, Jack gulped disgustingly, and took both of Will's hands. Lila was smiling as Jack did this and came to stand behind him, "Alright, now try it."

"Will-"

"Saphira, Jack. You aren't proposing to my husband." Jack rolled his eyes, causing Will to shift on the barrel. Jack rolled his eyes again, turning back to look up into Will's eyes.

"Bloody 'ell, Lila."

"Jacob, honestly. Just get on with it."

"Saphira..." Jack sighed, this was seriously going to scar him for life. Will was looking down at him as Jack clutched both of his hands tightly as he said, "I love you. Will you marry me?" Will looked up at Lila as if he was completely unsure as to what to do. Jack got alarmed when he saw the look on Will's face. Lila had gone completely quiet behind him.

Will recovered first, and said in a voice that Jack hadn't heard him use since the day that Lila said 'swashbuckling', which was about three octaves higher than his regular voice, "Um...Lila, darling? Let's go into my cabin...now..." Lila's eyes got wide when Will said that, taken back. Will smiled at her and said, "What, love?" He pulled his hands out of Jack's, rather quickly and said as he pulled her arm and pratically dragged her to the cabin, "Shiver me timbers."

"WILLIAM!" Bootstrap walked up behind Will and smacked his head, causing Lila to start laughing. Her laugh then turned in to a cough, which caused both Will and Bill to look down at her. Will sighed and picked her up, carrying her to his cabin as she finally stopped coughing...but not before eyeing a bottle of rum, which given her condition, was way out of her reach.

Jack, who was still on one knee, didn't have to turn to know who was behind him. He just kneeled there, staring at the barrel that his former 'fiancee' had been sitting on. A few seconds later, he heard a quiet voice say, "Of course I'll marry you."

Jack smiled to himself, before wordlessly standing up. He turned around to face Saphira who was smiling up at him. Jack took a hand and pushed back her chesnut curls. Then, he leaned down and kissed her. She smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him.

"Li..." Will sighed and pulled his wife back into his cabin, since she had had the door opened and was watching the whole thing play out before them, and shut the door. Lila was smiling as she leaned against the door and said, "What? It's just cute. She's perfect for him." Will blinked at her for a minute, before shaking his head and going to lay on his bed.

"Slacking off on your captain duties, are we Captain Turner?" Lila said, smirking as she crossed her arms across her chest and leaned against the door. Will smiled up at her and said, "Slacking? Darling, it's like you don't know me at all...Captain Turner." Lila rolled her green eyes, but stopped when she felt dizzy. She leaned more against the wall, breathing heavily, causing Will to lean up on his elbows and say in a worried tone, "Darling?"

"Will, I'm-" She never got a chance to finish her sentence, because as soon as she started it, she collapsed. Will ran over to her and picked her up, fear written all over his face as he said, "Li! Lila, darling...wake up..."

Rain began pouring down in buckets on the Dutchman as Will carried her over to his bed.

"Lila, darling...please wake up..." He said, pushing her hair back with a shaking hand. He could have just been seeing things, but he could have sworn he saw the Jewel fading...

"Admiral Dawson." Rupert was standing at the foot of the stairs, waiting for Neptune to walk down them. Neptune had had a pretty rough few nights, knowing that his daughter had left once again. But he knew she was safe with William, and if she was anything like her mother, which she had already proven she in fact was, he had no reason to be nervous.

"Thank you for coming in." Neptune nodded at one of the guards that had been following him. The guard nodded back at Neptune, and walked down the hall. Putting an hand on his shoulder, Neptune ushered Rupert down the hall. Rupert hadn't seen Neptune look quite like this in some months since the war had died down.

"Rupert-" Neptune said as they passed Lila's old room. Now that she and Will were married, they had their own wing of the palace. "-I have reason to believe that your father is back."

Rupert's heart began pounding against his chest when Neptune said that. Neptune's ocean blue eyes, that were slightly cloudy and not the piercing blue they usually were, met Rupert's in an intense gaze as he said, "Your sister...we've kept the secret long enough. I made a promise to your mother never to reveal Saphira's true identity, but someone's let it out."

"Lila..."

"No, no. my daughter may be like my nephew in many ways, but that's one thing she has control over. Lila knows when to hold her tongue time at times like that. She wound't say anything." Rupert glanced outside to see that it was now begining to rain heavily. He knew that that was slightly unnerving Neptune. Neptune paused as he put his hand on the rather large golden door knob leading to his study. As if he was having second thoughts about entering.

That slightly unnerved Rupert as much as he knew the rain was bothering Neptune.

"Saphira's in danger. I'm guessing that that is where Lila and William went. With Saphira and Jacob. Grant's already told me that he overheard Jacob and Lila talking about it a few nights ago. And he said a letter came from a Mr. Mercer. Now, this could be a awful joke from some idiot in the Brethren Court-" Rupert looked back up to meet Neptune's clouded eyes as he said, "-or this could be quite true. I've seen millions of things that defy all logic. This very well could be one of them." Neptune politely smiled as one of the servants walked past.

Rupert took this time to notice that Neptune was still holding the door knob. Rupert met Neptune's gaze and asked, "What do we do about my sister? Saphira can't handle this again. I mean...who could have said something? No one knows but you and Lila that she's my sister..."

"I know, son. We'll figure it out. Lila wouldn't even tell William that." Now, much to Rupert's relief, Neptune opened his study door and walked into the strangely dark room. Neptune sighed and walked over to the fire place. Rupert walked slowly in, looking around the study, having never saw it quite so dark.

"I told them to leave the candles on..." Neptune said in a frustrated voice as he lit the fire. Rupert took a sharp intake of breath when he saw a glowing figure standing by the window. Neptune glanced back at Rupert when he did that. Rupert fell against the desk, and took the candle, raising it towards the figure. His heart stopped when he saw who it was.

Somehow, he found his voice long enough to whisper, "Lila?"
