Elizabeth opened her eyes and sat up and stretched. She saw her son, Will, come into the room.

        “Mama, Daddy is coming today, isn’t he,” Will said.

        “Yes, honey, Daddy’s coming to see us today,” Elizabeth said. Will cheered and went to get ready. Elizabeth got up and got ready for the day.  She picked up the house and made breakfast for them. After they ate, they went for a walk through town. She looked up and saw someone she hadn’t seen in a long time. It was Jack Sparrow. He saw her and smiled.

        “Elizabeth, it’s been a long time,” Jack said.

        “Yes, it has, Jack, how have you been?” Elizabeth said. Young Will came up to them.

        “Mama, who is this?” Will asked.

        “Mama?” Jack asked.

        “This is my son, Will, sweetie, this is Captain Jack Sparrow, remember my stories?” Elizabeth said. Will held out his hand.

        “Nice to meet you, Captain Sparrow,” Will said. Jack shook his hand.

        “He’s Will’s son?” Jack asked.

        “Yes, he is,” Elizabeth said.

        “Just making sure, because from what I heard, if you were completely faithful and true to him, Will can come back for good, and be with you and your son forever,” Jack said. Elizabeth looked at him.

        “I have remained faithful and true to Will, he’s my true love,” Elizabeth said.

        “Mama has been true to Daddy, she said that me and Daddy are the only men for her,” Will said.

        “Then you will have him back forever,” Jack said.

        “We are going to see him later on, wanna come with us?” Elizabeth asked.

        “I’ll be in town for a bit, since Barbossa stole the Pearl and I finally got it back, Gibbs is guarding it with his life,” Jack said.

        “Well, we better be going, bye Jack,” Elizabeth said.

        “Bye Captain Jack,” Will said. They made their way back home. Later that afternoon, they made their way to the cliff for the sunset. Will ran down singing the pirate song that Elizabeth taught him. She caught up with him and they stood and waited. The sun went down and they saw a flash of green and smiled as they saw the Flying Dutchman. They made their way down to the beach and Will got off the ship with his father and they made their way to shore. Elizabeth ran into Will’s arms.

        “I’ve missed you so much,” Elizabeth said. Will smiled and buried his face in her hair and held her close.

        “I have missed you, too,” Will said.

        “Hi Daddy,” Young Will said. Will let go of Elizabeth and knelt down to look at his son.

        “You are getting taller, are you taking care of your mom?” Will asked.

        “Yes, guess what, you can stay with us forever,” Young Will said.

        “Where did you hear that?” Will asked.

        “Captain Jack, we ran into him in town, he said that Barbossa stole the Pearl and he got it back and he said if Mama remained true and faithful to you, that you can stay with us forever,” Young Will said.

        “That is true,” Bill said.

        “Honey, this is your Grandpa Bill,” Elizabeth said. Young Will held out his hand.

        “Hi Grandpa Bill,” Young Will said.

        “You look a lot like your father,” Bill said shaking his hand. Jack came up to them.

        “William, Bootstrap, been a long time,” Jack said.

        “Captain Sparrow,” Bill said.

        “Jack, what are you doing here?” Will asked.

        “Made a stop here and I bumped into Elizabeth and your son in town, they said you were coming today, had to come see how you were doing,” Jack said.

        “Is what they say true?” Will asked.

        “Yes, your father knows that,” Jack said.

        “I said it was true, but you have to pick a new captain, son,” Bill said.

        “You are captain now, Father,” Will said. Bill nodded and headed back to the ship and they watched it sail off. Will turned and looked at Elizabeth. She hugged him and smiled.

        “I’m so glad you are here and you can stay with me and Will, I have missed you so much,” Elizabeth said. Will hugged her tight.

        “Hey young Will, I’ll show you the Black Pearl, let’s give your parents some alone time,” Jack said.

        “Mama, can I?” Young Will asked.

        “Sure, we’ll catch up, I want to see the crew,” Will said holding onto Elizabeth. Jack and Young Will went off. Will hugged Elizabeth.

        “I can’t believe this is happening, I never want to let you go,” Elizabeth said.

        “Me, neither, I thought about you and Will every day and night, I was counting the days until I could come back to see you and our son, I can’t believe how much he’s grown,” Will said.

        “He’s your boy, acts like you,” Elizabeth said.

        “I never want to miss another day of his life,” Will said. Elizabeth smiled and they kissed tenderly.

        “I’ve missed those lips,” Will said. They headed to town and headed to the docks and saw the Black Pearl and walked aboard the ship and saw Jack with their son showing him the wheel and his compass. Gibbs stood beside him.

        “Miss Elizabeth!” Gibbs said coming down to them. They hugged.

        “Hello, Mr. Gibbs, been a long time,” Elizabeth said.

        “Yes, it has, Captain Turner, on your one day ashore,” Gibbs said.

        “Not anymore, I’m free, due to Elizabeth’s faithfulness to me, I am free to be with my family forever,” Will said.

        “That is good news, he is a handsome young lad,” Gibbs said.

        “Yes, he is,” Will said. Young Will came down to his parents with Jack behind him.

        “Mama, Daddy, Captain Jack wants to know if we can go out to sea with him,” Young Will said.

        “Your father just came home for good, maybe some other time,” Elizabeth said.

        “Please, Mama, I want to go see the ocean, the many ports, please, Mama,” Young Will said.

        “You two probably want alone time, we can take care of him,” Jack said. Gibbs nodded.

        “We want family time,” Elizabeth said.

        “I have been away from my son and my wife for too long now,” Will said.

        “You both can come with us,” Jack said.

        “Jack, I spent the last ten years at sea, plus the time we were looking for you, and fighting the war, it’s time to be on land for awhile,” Will said.

        “Mama, Daddy, please!” Young Will said. Elizabeth looked at her son and she looked at Will.

        “Be back in a week,” Elizabeth said.

        “Be back in two days,” Will said.

        “Three days, it is,” Jack said.

        “Three days?” Young Will asked.

        “Three days or none,” Elizabeth said.

        “Okay,” Young Will said. She went to get some of his things. She came back and gave it to him. She knelt down and hugged him.

        “I’ll be okay, Mama, I know Captain Jack won’t hurt me,” Young Will said.

        “I won’t let anything happen to him, I don’t want to have a sword fight with your father, lad,” Jack said.

        “Is he good?” Young Will asked.

        “He used to be a blacksmith, he made swords and practiced with them, gave me a challenge when I first met him,” Jack said.

        “Take care of him, Jack,” Will said.

        “I’ll make sure nothing happens to him,” Gibbs said. Elizabeth and Will hugged their son and got off the ship and watched the Pearl sail away with their son. They went home and Will looked around.

        “How did you get this house?” Will asked.

        “Being the former governor’s daughter has its advantages, plus, the new governor was an old friend of my father’s, he and his wife have been looking out for me and Will,” Elizabeth said.

        “Do they have kids?” Will asked.

        “A daughter, same age as Will, they are friends,” Elizabeth said.

        “Friends?” Will asked.

        “He calls her his girlfriend,” Elizabeth said.

        “Our son has a girlfriend, he’s only nine,” Will said.

        “I know, but he cares about her, and she cares about him, all they do is play and hold hands, I won’t be surprised if they got together officially when they come of age,” Elizabeth said. Will came over and took her in his arms and found the bedroom and laid them on the bed. He looked around and saw the chest his heart was in.

        “You keep it close?” Will asked. Elizabeth looked and saw what he was looking at.

        “Yes,” Elizabeth said. They pulled each other’s clothes off and made love.

The next morning, Elizabeth woke up and saw something different about Will. She got up and got the chest down and opened it and saw Will’s heart gone. She looked at his chest and saw the scar gone. She got dressed and got on the bed and shook him. He woke up and looked at her.

        “Elizabeth, what’s wrong,” Will asked.

        “Do you feel different?” Elizabeth said. Will saw the chest open and she showed him the chest and he saw his heart gone and felt his chest and looked at her.

        “I’m back to normal, my heart is back in my chest, how is that possible,” Will said.

        “Maybe that is what supposed to happen,” Elizabeth said. Will kissed her.

        “Let’s stay in bed until Will comes back,” Will said. She got back under the covers and they made love again.

Two days later, they were on the dock, waiting for their son to return. They saw the Black Pearl come into port and docked and the crew got the ramp ready and they saw Young Will walk off the ship and ran into his mother’s arms. Jack and Gibbs got off the ship.

        “I told you he would be fine with us,” Jack said.

        “Thank you, Jack, for taking care of our son,” Will said. Jack noticed something and opened Will’s shirt.

        “You are back to normal,” Jack said. He put his hand on Will’s chest and felt his heart beating.

        “Yup, your heart is back where it belongs,” Jack said.

        “Yes, and I’m back where I belong,” Will said holding his son and Elizabeth to him.

        “Well, I need your help, Will,” Jack said.

        “What now?” Will asked.

        “While we were out on the sea, we came across a ship from the East India Trading Company, we commandeered the ship and the captain and blew the ship up, we had the young master Will out of harm’s way, the captain said that there is a new Lord now, he has seized the Flying Dutchman, and your father’s heart, and he controls it,” Jack said. Will looked at Elizabeth.

        “I just got you back, no way I’m letting you go now,” Elizabeth said.

        “But my father,” Will said.

        “Will, please, I can’t lose you again to life at sea,” Elizabeth said.

        “Will, it could have been you,” Jack said.

        “They wouldn’t have had control over me because my heart wasn’t on the ship,” Will said.

        “Daddy, please, don’t go,” Young Will said.

        “I have to, I’ll be back, I promise,” Will said. He hugged Elizabeth and his son and got on board. Elizabeth looked at Jack.

        “You better bring him back, Jack, he better come back the same way he is leaving,” Elizabeth said.

        “You have my word, and I never broke a promise to you, Elizabeth, I will make sure your husband returns,” Jack said. He got on the ship and they sailed out to sea. Elizabeth and Young Will went home.

        “Mama, do you think Daddy will come back?” Will asked.

        “I hope so, son, I hope so,” Elizabeth said.

Three weeks went by and so far, no word from Jack or Will. Elizabeth began experiencing the same symptoms before when she was pregnant with Will. She went to see a doctor and he confirmed it. She returned home as Young Will came in from his room.

        “Mama,” Will said.

        “You are going to have a little brother or sister,” Elizabeth said. He hugged her.

        “Any word from Daddy or Captain Jack?” Will asked.

        “No, I’m worried,” Elizabeth said.

        “Mama, Jack said he’ll make sure Daddy comes back,” Will said.

        “I know, honey,” Elizabeth said. There was a knock at the door. She opened it and saw Will leaning against the doorframe.

        “I’m home,” Will said. She jumped in his arms.

        “Thank god, are you okay,” Elizabeth said.

        “Same as he was when he left,” Jack said coming up to the door with Gibbs behind him.

        “Thank you, Jack,” Elizabeth said.

        “You’re welcome,” Jack said.

        “Come on in,” Elizabeth said. Will, Jack, and Gibbs came in.

        “Daddy!” Young Will said running down the stairs and he jumped into Will’s arms.

        “Hey son,” Will said.

        “So what happened?” Elizabeth said.

        “Tell us,” Young Will said.

        “The East India Trading Company is no more, we blew up their flagship, got the chest with my father’s heart back, everything is the way it should be,” Will said.

        “Thank god, I was so scared,” Elizabeth said.

        “No need, I’m not leaving you again,” Will said.

        “Good, because we are having a baby,” Elizabeth said. Will grinned and hugged her.

        “Congratulations are in order,” Jack said.

        “Thanks, Jack, you kept your promise,” Elizabeth said hugging him.

        “Elizabeth,” someone said. They looked and saw the governor and his wife at the door.

        “Peter, Alise,” Elizabeth said.

        “Who are you,” Peter asked looking at Jack.

        “I’m Captain Jack Sparrow and this is my first mate, Mr. Gibbs,” Jack said.

        “Pirates,” Peter said. He looked at Elizabeth.

        “They are my friends,” Elizabeth said.

        “Mr. Gibbs sailed to Port Royal with Elizabeth’s father and Elizabeth when they first came to town,” Will said. Peter looked at him.

        “Who are you?” Peter asked.

        “William Turner,” Will said holding out his hand.

        “The William Turner, as in Elizabeth’s William,” Peter said shaking his hand.

        “Yes,” Will said.

        “He’s my father,” Young Will said hugging Will’s leg.

        “And we are expecting another child,” Elizabeth said.

        “Delightful news,” Peter said hugging Elizabeth. Alise hugged Elizabeth.

        “I hope this doesn’t change things,” Elizabeth said.

        “No, I got word that the East India Trading Company is no more, all pirates are free to roam the seas but must obey the rules of each port,” Peter said.

        “We are just visiting friends,” Gibbs said.

        “Yes, friends,” Jack said. The new Commodore came running in.

        “Sir, the ship, the Flying Dutchman is coming into port,” he said.

        “They mean no harm, my father is the captain,” Will said. Peter looked at him.

        “Your father is the captain of the Flying Dutchman,” Peter said.

        “Yes,” Will said.

        “He is a good man, he used to be on my ship, the Black Pearl, long story, but he is a good man,” Jack said. They all went to down to the docks. Bill stood at the side of the ship.

        “Father,” Will said.

        “William, Jack, Mr. Gibbs, thank you for saving me and the crew,” Bill said.

        “Mr. Turner, I’m Governor Peter Grant, welcome to Port Royal,” Peter said.

        “Thank you, sir, we aren’t staying, I just came to thank my son and my friends for saving me and the crew from the East India Trading Company, they wanted to conquer all of the seas,” Bill said.

        “Well, the East India Trading Company is no more, I got the official word, all pirates have to obey the laws made by the ports,” Peter said.

        “That’s the way it should be, I hope you don’t press charges against my son,” Bill said.

        “He was doing everyone a favor, the East India Trading Company has been a pain to all the governors of the ports, hanging women and children because they were involved with pirates, I draw the line at that, no, your son is safe, as is anyone associated with him,” Peter said.

        “Father, Elizabeth is expecting another child,” Will said.

        “I’m going to be a grandfather again,” Bill said smiling.

        “Hi Grandpa Bill,” Young Will said.

        “How’s my grandson,” Bill said.

        “Great, I’m going to be a big brother!” Young Will said.

        “You help your father take care of your mother, okay,” Bill said.

        “I will,” Young Will said.

        “We better get going, nice to meet you, governor, and take care of my son and daughter-in-law and grandson,” Bill said.

        “I will, Elizabeth is like a daughter to me, I made a promise to her father,” Peter said. Bill nodded and soon the Flying Dutchman was sailing away. Peter turned to Elizabeth and Will.

        “I want you to go rest, Elizabeth, I know you had a rough go at it when you first got pregnant with Young Will,” Peter said.

        “I feel fine, Peter,” Elizabeth said.

        “Rest, Elizabeth, that’s an order,” Peter said.

        “Yes, sir,” Elizabeth said. She headed back to the house. Will and Young Will followed. Peter looked at Jack and Gibbs.

        “How long are you two in town?” Peter asked.

        “We don’t know, we sail from here and there,” Jack said. Gibbs looked at Peter.

        “Governor Grant, what are you planning,” Gibbs said.

        “I want to make sure no harm comes to Elizabeth or her family,” Peter said.

        “We would never do anything to hurt Elizabeth or Will or Young Will, I’ve known Elizabeth since she was nine years old,” Gibbs said.

        “When Elizabeth was kidnapped from Port Royal, Will asked me to help rescue her, and I did help, because that was when my ship was captained by Hector Barbossa, I wanted my ship back and Will wanted to save Elizabeth so we banded together to get my ship and Elizabeth back, I would not want anything to happen to them,” Jack said.

        “I hope you tell the truth, Elizabeth is like family to me, I will die before any harm comes to her,” Peter said.

        “That won’t happen, Gibbs and I care about Elizabeth, her son, and Will,” Jack said.

        “I better get back to my home,” Peter said. Jack and Gibbs went to the Turners’ place. They went in and closed the door. Will came downstairs with Young Will behind him. Jack saw Will’s face.

        “Will?” Jack asked.

        “Gibbs, get a doctor, Elizabeth’s losing the baby,” Will said. Gibbs went to find a doctor.

        “I’ll get the governor,” Jack said.

        “Go,” Will said. Jack went to get the governor. He came back with Peter and Alise. They went to the bedroom and saw the doctor examining Elizabeth.

        “She’s just spotting, no sign of a miscarriage yet, I will stay close until I know for sure,” the doctor said.

        “Do what you can, just don’t let anything happen to her,” Will said.

        “I can’t lose this baby, I can’t bear it,” Elizabeth said.

        “She came close to losing her son,” Peter said.

        “She almost lost me?” Young Will said.

        “Yes, she did,” Peter said.

        “But I’m here,” Young Will said.

        “Because you were a fighter,” Peter said.

        “Like your father,” Jack said.

        “Mama, I’m here,” Young Will said holding Elizabeth’s hand.

Three days later, the doctor checked Elizabeth. He smiled. He looked at Will, Young Will, Peter, Alise, Jack, and Gibbs and smiled.

        “All clear, no further signs of bleeding, no miscarriage,” the doctor said. Peter shook his hand smiling. The door opened and there stood Elizabeth’s father and James Norrington.

        “Oh my god,” Elizabeth said.

        “Norrington, Mr. Swann,” Jack said.

        “Weatherby!” Peter said.

        “We were brought back by the Flying Dutchman and Will’s father,” Governor Swann said.

        “If you are back from the dead, that means you are still Governor since I stepped in to fill the spot,” Peter said.

        “Since there was no formal elections, I believe so, but we can ask the people if Co-Governors would be good,” Governor Swann said.

        “Father,” Elizabeth said. He sat down and hugged his daughter.

        “Oh Elizabeth, your mother said hello, and she’s watching over you,” Governor Swann said.

        “Why didn’t she come back with you?” Elizabeth said.

        “Because we died at sea, she didn’t,” Governor Swann said. Elizabeth hugged him.

        “I’m glad you are back, and mother is in my heart,” Elizabeth said.

        “My father brought you back,” Will said.

        “Yes, Will, he did, he is bringing back anyone who was killed by Davy Jones and the East India Trading Company,” Governor Swann said.

        “But James was killed by Bill,” Elizabeth said.

        “When Bill was part of Davy’s crew, he’s brought back James to undo his mistakes,” Governor Swann said.

        “Elizabeth, I chose a side and I knew I would pay for it,” James said.

        “Thank you, for helping me,” Elizabeth said.

        “I care about you,” James said.

        “So you are my Grandpa Swann,” Young Will said.

        “Father, meet your grandson, William Turner The Third,” Elizabeth said. Governor Swann shook Young Will’s hand.

        “A grandson, I’m a grandfather,” Governor Swann said smiling. He pulled Young Will in his lap.

        “And Elizabeth is expecting another child, she had a scare, though, she almost lost the baby,” Will said.

        “I’m better now,” Elizabeth said.

        “I will be the best grandpa ever,” Governor Swann said.

        “Governor Swann,” Jack said tipping his hat.

        “Sparrow,” Governor Swann said.

        “Father, be nice, Jack is a friend to us,” Elizabeth said.

        “I know that,” Governor Swann said.

        “Governor Swann, been a long time,” Gibbs said.

        “Mr. Gibbs, yes it has, how have you been,” Governor Swann said.

        “Doing good, been through everything with Jack, I’m his first mate,” Gibbs said.

        “First mate, huh,” Governor Swann said.

        “Yes, sir,” Gibbs said.

        “I need some sleep,” Elizabeth said.

        “Let’s move out so she can rest,” Peter said. Governor Swann, Peter, Alise, Jack, and Gibbs went downstairs. Will and Young Will sat on the bed.

        “I’ll be in my room if you need me, Mama,” Young Will said hugging her.

        “Thank you, honey,” Elizabeth said. He went out of the room. Elizabeth looked at Will. He brushed a piece of hair back from her face.

        “I love you,” Will said.

        “I love you,” Elizabeth said.

        “I will be downstairs if you need me,” Will said kissing her forehead.

        “Okay,” Elizabeth said. He went downstairs. She smiled and closed her eyes and went to sleep.

*Elizabeth leaped on the deck of the Flying Dutchman and came face to face with Davy Jones. She pulled out her sword and started fighting with him. He knocked her on the deck of the ship and she turned and saw Will running over. Davy raised his sword but Will stuck his sword in Davy’s chest and then began to fight Will. He knocked Will on the deck and Elizabeth and Will looked at each other and they heard Jack tell Davy if he felt dead and they saw Jack holding Davy’s heart with his broken sword ready to stab it. Davy turned and looked at Will and Elizabeth and he walked over to her and raised his sword and she heard Will shout and she screamed*  

Elizabeth sat up and was breathing hard. Will, Young Will, Governor Swann, Jack, Gibbs, James, Peter and Alise came running in. Will sat on the bed and hugged her.

        “Elizabeth,” Will said.

        “Oh god, Will, a nightmare, a bad one,” Elizabeth said. Will held her close.

        “What was it about?” Will asked.

        “I dreamt that we were on the Flying Dutchman during the fight and I fought Davy Jones and he knocked me down and you came and fought him and he knocked you down and then Jack had his heart and was ready to stab it and he turned and looked at you and me and came over to me and raised his sword and I heard you shout and I screamed, and then I woke up,” Elizabeth said.

        “Mama, it was just a dream,” Young Will said.

        “I know,” Elizabeth said as she held his hand.

        “I’m going to rest with you, maybe you will feel better if I’m beside you,” Will said. James, Peter, Weatherby, and Alise left the room.

        “I feel like it’s my fault that Will had to spend ten years away from you, I should have stabbed the heart as soon as I got it out, before he did anything to either one of you,” Jack said.

        “You wanted to, Jack,” Will said.

        “You did what you did, if you hadn’t had Will stab it, I would have lost him forever,” Elizabeth said.

        “And I wouldn’t be here,” Young Will said.

        “But if I did stab it, Will wouldn’t have been away from you for ten years and he would have been here for his son,” Jack said.

        “But he is here now,” Elizabeth said resting her head against Will. 

        “I’m sorry,” Jack said.

        “Jack, it’s over, Will is home now, he’s back to normal, his heart is back in his body, he is with us forever,” Elizabeth said.  Marty came running in.

        “Marty,” Will said.

        “The Black Pearl, Captain,” Marty said. Cotton came in with Pintel and Ragetti.

        “What is it,” Jack said.

        “Barbossa is back, with a new crew and he kicked us off and took off with the Pearl,” Marty said.

        “I can’t believe it,” Jack said.

        “Captain,” Gibbs said.

        “We are going after it,” Jack said.  He looked at Will and Elizabeth.

        “Jack, I can’t go this time,” Will said.

        “I really need your help, Will,” Jack said.

        “Jack, he wants to be with me, I almost lost the baby,” Elizabeth said.

        “I can’t leave her now,” Will said.

        “I need a good sword fighter, this is the last favor I ask of you,” Jack said. Will sighed and looked at Elizabeth.

        “My place is with my family,” Will said.

        “Go,” Elizabeth said. Will looked at her.

        “Elizabeth,” Will said.

        “Go, help him, we owe him,” Elizabeth said.

        “I don’t want to leave you,” Will said.

        “I’ll take care of her, Daddy,” Young Will said.

        “Jack, remember,” Elizabeth said.

        “I know, I know, bring him back in one piece, just like he is when he left,” Jack said.

        “Thank you,” Elizabeth said. Jack and his crew went downstairs. Will looked at Elizabeth.

        “I don’t want to go,” Will said.

        “You are as good with the sword as he is, he needs your help, I love you, and I will stay in bed and rest and our son will take care of me, and my father, Peter, Alise, they will take care of me,” Elizabeth said.

        “I love you,” Will said resting his forehead against hers. She cupped his cheek with her hand.

        “I love you,” Elizabeth said. He kissed her and hugged his son and left. Young Will sat on the bed and held his mother’s hand.

        “I’m here, Mama, and I’m not leaving you,” Young Will said.

Three months went by. Elizabeth stood out on her balcony and stared out at the seas. It’s been three months since Will left with Jack and she was worried that something happened to him. She put her hand on her stomach and rubbed it. She was four months pregnant and she looked pregnant. Her father came in. Young Will came in behind him. Her son was helping her father with the duties as governor by being his apprentice.

        “Father,” Elizabeth said.

        “Got word from the Governor in Tortuga, Will, Jack, and the crew showed up there and sailed out again, they have yet to find the Black Pearl, but Will left word with the governor to give you a message, he is okay, and he loves you,” Weatherby said.

        “I just wish he was here, I shouldn’t have let him go,” Elizabeth said.

        “You did what you thought was right, Will is good with the sword, he could be a help to Jack,” Weatherby said.

        “I made him go, he didn’t want to go,” Elizabeth said.

        “You knew Jack needed Will’s help,” Weatherby said.

        “Mama, Daddy will come home, I know it, he loves us,” Young Will said.

        “I know,” Elizabeth said.

Three more months went by. Elizabeth was once again out on her balcony, watching the sea. She had her hand on her seven month pregnant belly. She went back inside and saw her son come in.

        “Mama, I wish Daddy would come home,” Young Will said.

        “I do, too, did your grandfather hear anything?” Elizabeth said.

        “No, not yet,” Young Will said hugging his mother. Her father came in smiling.

        “The Black Pearl has come into port, with Captain Jack Sparrow and his crew, and Will,” Weatherby said. Elizabeth smiled and hugged her son and they went downstairs and got into the carriage and headed for the docks. They got out as the long boat from the Pearl came to the docks. Will, Jack, and Gibbs got out of the boat and walked along the docks.

        “Will!” Elizabeth called. He looked up and saw her and his son and ran to them and he hugged both of them.

        “Daddy!” Young Will said hugging his father.

        “You look beautiful!” Will said putting a hand on her stomach.

        “I missed you so much!” Elizabeth said hugging him.

        “I missed you, I’m home for good this time, Barbossa is dead, no more threats to any of us, we are free to live our lives,” Will said.

        “Let’s go home,” Elizabeth said. They went to the carriage and went home. Elizabeth went to sleep. When she woke up, she was in a strange room and sat up and looked around and saw that she was in her bedroom at the governor’s mansion.  She got up and went to the drawer and opened it and lifted the secret drawer and saw the pirates medallion and put it back and sat down.

        “What is going on,” Elizabeth said.

        “I’ve sent you back here to start things over, only you know of the time change,” a voice said. She looked up and saw her mother.

        “Mother,” Elizabeth said.

        “Elizabeth, you can change the way things go, you look the same as before,” her mother said.

        “I hope you are right,” Elizabeth said.

        “I know your heart is with Will, here is a change to make a clean break without separation,” her mother said before she disappeared. There was a knock at the door. She got dressed.

        “I’m up,” Elizabeth said. The door opened and her father and a couple maids came in.

        “Darling, still in your nightgown,” Weatherby said.

        “Yes, I want to get ready to go,” Elizabeth said. She saw the corset and shook her head.

        “I am not wearing that, I won’t be able to breathe in that,” Elizabeth said.

        “Elizabeth,” Weatherby said.

        “No,” Elizabeth said. Weatherby nodded.

        “Are you okay,” Weatherby said.

        “Father, I’m in love,” Elizabeth said.

        “That is glorious news, darling, who is the lucky man?” Weatherby said.

        “Will Turner, Father, I know he’s just a blacksmith, he has been my best friend since we found him, I know you think he isn’t right for me, Father, but I’m following my heart,” Elizabeth said. Weatherby smiled and hugged his daughter close.

        “I followed my heart and it got me your mother and she gave me you, I know she will want you to follow yours, I will send for Will, actually, he is suppose to be delivering a sword for Captain Norrington,” Weatherby said.

        “I would like to speak with him,” Elizabeth said.

        “Get ready for the ceremony and I’ll have him wait for you to come downstairs,” Weatherby said. He went downstairs just as the butler was letting Will Turner into the house.

        “Mr. Turner, it is so good to see you again, Elizabeth and I were just speaking of you,” Weatherby said.

        “Me?” Will asked.

        “Yes, she would very much like to speak with you,” Weatherby said. Elizabeth came downstairs.

        “Will, so good to see you,” Elizabeth said.

        “You, too, Elizabeth,” Will said.

        “I would very much like to speak with you,” Elizabeth said. Will smiled.

        “So we shall,” Will said.

        “Mr. Turner, would you like to join us,” Weatherby said. Elizabeth smiled.

        “Thank you, Governor Swann, here is your order,” Will said. He showed him the sword. He put it back in the case and they all got into the carriage and went to the ceremony. After the ceremony, Will and Elizabeth went to talk. Elizabeth turned to Will.

        “So, how are you,” Will said.

        “I’m fine, been thinking a lot, about my life and how it is, Will, I’m in love, with someone special,” Elizabeth said. Will felt his heart drop.

        “He’s a lucky man,” Will said. He faced the ocean.

        “He is a lucky man, I care about him a lot, I can see myself being with him forever,” Elizabeth said.

        “I see,” Will said. Elizabeth put her hand on Will’s arm. He looked at her.

        “Will, the man I’m talking about is standing right in front of me,” Elizabeth said. He looked at her.

        “Me?” Will asked.

        “Yes,” Elizabeth said.

        “But I’m just a blacksmith, I’m not right for you,” Will said. Elizabeth held his hand.

        “My father approves, he told me to follow my heart, my heart leads me to you,” Elizabeth said.

        “Are you sure about this?” Will asked.

        “Yes, I am, I love you, Will, I know that for sure,” Elizabeth said.

        “You have no idea how long I’ve waited for this, I love you, too,” Will said. He took her in his arms and they kissed softly.  They heard someone clear their throat and they looked and saw her father and Commodore Norrington standing there smiling at them.

        “Father,” Elizabeth said.

        “Mr. Brown is looking for you, Will,” Governor Swann said.

        “I better get back to work,” Will said. He hugged Elizabeth and squeezed her hand. He went to work. Elizabeth looked at her father.

        “Father, I’m so happy,” Elizabeth said.

        “Good, the carriage is here to take you back to the house,” Governor Swann said. Elizabeth nodded and got into the carriage and headed back to the house. She looked and saw Jack Sparrow in town.

        “Stop the carriage,” Elizabeth said. It stopped and she got out and went to him.

        “Jack Sparrow,” Elizabeth said. He looked at her.

        “Do I know you?” Jack asked.

        “No, my name is Elizabeth Swann, get in the carriage, I’ll explain,” Elizabeth said. He shrugged and got into the carriage.

        “Take me to the blacksmith,” Elizabeth said. The driver took her to the blacksmith shop. She got out and Jack got out. She went in and looked around and saw Will working and Mr. Brown passed out.

        “Will,” Elizabeth said. He turned and saw her and he saw Jack.

        “Who is he?” Will asked.

        “I’m Captain Jack Sparrow, Miss Swann dragged me here,” Jack said.

        “I need your help in identifying something that Will had,” Elizabeth said.

        “I had?” Will asked.

        “Can you get away for a few minutes?” Elizabeth asked. He went over to Mr. Brown.

        “Mr. Brown, wake up,” Will said. He woke up and saw him.

        “Will,” Mr. Brown said.

        “Miss Swann needs my help with something, I’ll be back,” Will said.

        “Okay,” Mr. Brown said. Will, Elizabeth and Jack got into the carriage and they went to the governor’s mansion.

        “Wow, this is your place?” Jack asked.

        “I’m the governor’s daughter,” Elizabeth said as she got out. They went inside.

        “Wait here,” Elizabeth said. She went upstairs and grabbed the medallion and came downstairs and held it up. Jack looked at it and his eyes widened.

        “That is Aztec gold,” Jack said.

        “You had it,” Will said.

        “You had it when we rescued you, I hid it so they wouldn’t think you were a pirate,” Elizabeth said.

        “How did you end up with this?” Jack asked Will.

        “My father sent it to me,” Will said.

        “Jack, what is this, why would Will have this?” Elizabeth said.

        “Last name is Turner?” Jack asked.

        “Yes,” Will said.

        “Father is Bill Turner?” Jack asked.

        “Yes,” Will said.

        “There is a curse, your father took this piece and cursed the crew of the ship he was on, my ship, called the Black Pearl, the only way to break the curse is go to the Isle De Mueta to the chest with all the Aztec gold, and using some of your blood, return this piece to the chest and the curse is broken,” Jack said.

        “My father was a pirate?” Will asked.

        “Afraid so, but he was a good man,” Jack said.

        “Should I break this curse?” Will asked.

        “I want my ship back, breaking this curse is the only way I can get it back,” Jack said. Will looked at Elizabeth.

        “Where is this place?” Will asked.

        “I’ll take you there, I need a ship,” Jack said.

        “I can get you one if I can come with you guys,” Elizabeth said.

        “Elizabeth, no, too dangerous,” Will said.

        “Will, I can get a ship with no problem, I am the governor’s daughter,” Elizabeth said.

        “Fine, but I’m going to teach you how to handle a sword and how to fight,” Will said.

        “Shouldn’t I do that?” Jack asked.

        “I’m a blacksmith, Jack, I make swords and practice with them,” Will said.

        “Okay, well, she can come,” Jack said.

        “We leave at dawn,” Elizabeth said.

        “You are staying at the blacksmith shop with me, Jack,” Will said. He kissed Elizabeth and left. Elizabeth went upstairs with the medallion. She went out on the balcony and looked out at sea. She went downstairs and saw her father.

        “Father, we need to talk,” Elizabeth said.

        “What is it, Elizabeth,” Weatherby said.

        “I need a ship, to be waiting at dawn, for me and Will, there is something that has to be done, we are escorting an old friend of Will’s home,” Elizabeth said.

        “Elizabeth,” Weatherby said.

        “Father, please, I don’t usually ask for much,” Elizabeth said.

        “I’ll talk to Commodore Norrington,” Weatherby said. He left. Elizabeth sat down on the couch and waited. He came back twenty minutes later.

        “You can take the Interceptor,” Weatherby said.

        “Thank you, Father,” Elizabeth said.

The next morning, her father and Elizabeth went to the blacksmith shop. She walked in.

        “Will,” Elizabeth said. Will came in.

        “Elizabeth, I’m ready, Governor Swann,” Will said.

        “Will, I want no harm to come to my daughter, the Interceptor is waiting at the docks,” Governor Swann said.

        “I will protect her with my life,” Will said. He shook Weatherby’s hand. They went down to the docks where Jack was waiting.

        “Jack, this is my father, Governor Swann,” Elizabeth said. Jack stuck out his left hand and shook hands with Weatherby.

        “Jack Smith,” Jack said.

        “Nice to meet you, Mr. Smith, how do you know Will?” Weatherby said.

        “Long time ago, long before you met him,” Jack said.

        “Okay, have a nice trip home,” Weatherby said. He hugged Elizabeth and went back to the carriage. Elizabeth, Will, and Jack got on the Interceptor and got it ready for sail. She looked and saw a few troops from the Navy following Commodore Norrington.

        “Jack, go down below, out of sight, the commodore is coming,” Elizabeth said. Jack went down below.

        “Ms. Swann, I hope you don’t mind us joining you,” James said.

        “Commodore, I think we can handle this ship by ourselves, Will’s old friend is helping us, he’s down below right now, I think we can handle it,” Elizabeth said.

        “Miss Swann, you can take the Interceptor only if we are onboard,” James said. Elizabeth looked at Will.

        “Very well, no questions,” Elizabeth said. James nodded and they got on board. Jack came up and saw the Royal Navy and James.

        “Hello,” Jack said.

        “I’m Commodore Norrington, and you are Mr. Turner’s old friend,” James said.

        “Yes, sir, Smith’s the name,” Jack said holding out his left hand for a shake. James shook his hand and went back to up to the captain’s deck. Will came over to Elizabeth and Jack and looked at them.

        “Now what, he is going to ask questions,” Will said.

        “We have to convince him to let Jack take the wheel,” Elizabeth said.

        “You go,” Will said. Elizabeth sighed and went up to James.

        “Commodore, Mr. Smith is a captain, he knows where he is going, let him take the wheel, please,” Elizabeth said. James nodded. Jack went up to the wheel and got out his compass. He got his heading and pointed the ship the way to where they were going. Elizabeth sat down. Will sat beside her. She smiled at him and wrapped her arms around Will’s and rested her head on his shoulder.

        “Did you bring it?” Will asked. She held it up from the chain around her neck.

        “I hope the Commodore doesn’t ask questions,” Elizabeth said.

        “He will,” Will said.

When they reached their destination, James looked at Jack, Elizabeth, and Will.

        “This is Mr. Smith’s home?” James asked.

        “No, a quick stop, we are going in, we won’t be long,” Elizabeth said. She, Will, and Jack got into a long boat and went into the cave and found the chest and opened it and saw the coins. Elizabeth looked at the medallion.

        “This is it,” Elizabeth said. Will took it and cut his hand and grasped the medallion and dropped it in the chest and they covered it and went back out and Jack saw the Black Pearl.

        “Oh no,” Elizabeth said. They quickly got on the Interceptor.

        “Commodore,” Will said. They saw the ship. They pulled anchor.  The Pearl pulled up beside them.  Jack hid.

        “I’m Captain Barbossa, who brought you here,” Barbossa said.

        “Captain Smith,” James said.

        “How does he know this place?” Barbossa asked.

        “We are not sure,” James said.

        “Only a pirate knows about this place,” Barbossa said.

        “He isn’t a pirate, he’s a merchant sailor, he told me he came upon this place on a voyage and wanted to show us, we were just leaving and we didn’t take anything,” Elizabeth said. A shot rang out and hit Barbossa. He grabbed his chest and fell into the sea. James looked around.

        “Who did that!” James said. Jack stood up.

        “Look, it’s Captain Sparrow!” one of the men on the Pearl said.

        “Who?” Jack asked.

        “We know it’s you, Jack,” Pintel said.

        “Sorry, name is Smith, merchant sailor, you must be mistaken, I am a captain, but not a pirate,” Jack said.

        “Are you lying to us, Mr. Smith?” James asked.

        “No,” Jack said. He grabbed a rope and swung over to the Black Pearl.

        “But I am commandeering this vessel, they can take me home,” Jack said. He glared at the crew and they went back to work.

        “Just let him go, Commodore, let’s head back to Port Royal,” Elizabeth said.

        “He got on a pirate ship,” James said.

        “Commodore, maybe he can change them,” Elizabeth said. James sighed.

        “Let’s move out!” James said.

        “Wait!” Will said.

        “Will,” Elizabeth said.

        “Jack, wait!” Will said. He grabbed Elizabeth and a rope and swung over to the Black Pearl. They landed on deck and looked back at Norrington.

        “Elizabeth and I will accompany Jack home and return with the ship,” Will said.

        “What,” Jack said.

        “Agreed,” James said. The Navy left.

        “Return with my ship?” Jack said.

        “No, we aren’t, we just told him that to get him to leave, let’s go, to Tortuga,” Will said. Jack smiled.

        “Now we’re talking, to Tortuga,” Jack said. They set sail for Tortuga. Elizabeth sat down. Will sat beside her.

        “If we don’t show up with the ship, we will have a price on our heads or a search party after us,” Elizabeth said. Will sighed.

        “We should have returned with them,” Will said.

        “Doesn’t matter, we could be hanged for aiding and abetting a pirate, it’s best we stay away from Navy ports,” Elizabeth said.

        “We are together,” Will said holding her hand.

        “Yeah, I would really like to marry you someday,” Elizabeth said.

        “I can make that happen,” Jack said sitting down beside them.

        “How?” Will asked.

        “Captain of the ship, the ability,” Jack said.

        “He’s right,” Pintel said as he and Ragetti came by.

        “Well?” Elizabeth said looking at Will.

        “Marry us,” Will said to Jack. Jack smiled and the crew stood around them as Jack performed the ceremony and the crew cheered when Will kissed Elizabeth.

        “You two are married now, honeymoon in the captain’s quarters, no one peeking!” Jack said to the crew. Will and Elizabeth went into the quarters and locked the door. Jack went up to the captain’s deck and checked his compass. They pulled into Tortuga.

        “Okay, crew, here is your chance, if you want to stay in Tortuga, is fine with me, no hard feelings if you want to leave the Pearl for good,” Jack said. Will and Elizabeth came out smiling.

        “You two going to stay on the Pearl?” Jack asked.

        “Yeah,” Will said. Elizabeth nodded.

        “More honeymooning,” Jack said.

        “Jack, we are staying on the ship, we won’t take off with the ship, we swear,” Will said. Jack nodded and got off the ship. Will looked at Elizabeth.

        “Now what,” Will said.

        “We stay with the ship,” Elizabeth said. She looked out to the sea. Will came up and held her from behind.

        “Elizabeth, you okay,” Will said. She sat down. Will sat down. She told him the entire story. After she was done, he looked at her and took her hands.

        “I believe you, Elizabeth, I know there is no way you could make that story up,” Will said.

        “We have to do something before things get out of control, I can’t lose you, Will,” Elizabeth said. Will pulled her into his arms. They heard a noise and they looked and saw her mother.

        “Mother,” Elizabeth said.

        “Elizabeth, things have changed for the better, Davy Jones is gone, the new captain of the Flying Dutchman is your father, Will, and he will help defeat any enemies of the pirates,” Mrs. Swann said.

        “Thank god,” Will said.

        “Mother, I am sorry, I had to tell Will everything I remembered,” Elizabeth said.

        “Elizabeth, it’s okay, there was no guidelines to this turn of events, the only thing was that you had the memories and no one remembered anything,” Mrs. Swann said.

        “Thank you,” Elizabeth said.

        “The Dead Man’s Chest is in a safe place, no one knows where it is, only Will’s father knows where it is and he will not give it up,” Mrs. Swann said.

        “Good,” Elizabeth said. She said goodbye and faded away. Elizabeth looked at Will.

        “There is no way the East India Trading Company can control the Flying Dutchman,” Elizabeth said.

        “Or my father,” Will said. Jack came back on board.

        “Will and Elizabeth Turner, this is my new first mate, Mr. Gibbs,” Jack said.

        “Miss Elizabeth!” Gibbs said. Elizabeth got up and hugged him.

        “Mr. Gibbs, been a long time,” Elizabeth said.

        “You two know each other?” Jack asked.

        “Mr. Gibbs was on the HMS Dauntless when it was bringing my father and I from England to Port Royal,” Elizabeth said.

        “Jack, we got word from a source, Davy Jones is no more, my father is captain of the Flying Dutchman,” Will said. Jack smiled.

        “Good, no more debt,” Jack said.

        “We would like to stay aboard the Pearl as part of the crew,” Will said.

        “Then I will have three first mates, then,” Jack said. The rest of the crew boarded the boat and they headed out to sea. They were sailing along when Elizabeth looked and saw the HMS Dauntless.

        “Oh no, Will, it’s the Dauntless!” Elizabeth said. He ran up to Jack.

        “Jack, we have company,” Will said. Jack saw the Dauntless.

        “Bugger, should have stayed in Tortuga,” Jack said.

The Dauntless pulled up beside the Pearl. Elizabeth saw her father and Norrington.

        “Elizabeth!” Weatherby said.

        “Father, I’m okay,” Elizabeth said.

        “I thought you were going to bring the ship back, Mr. Turner, after taking Mr. Smith home,” James said.

        “I arrived home and saw I didn’t have a home anymore, I am just sailing the seas,” Jack said.

        “Governor Swann, Mr. Norrington,” Gibbs said.

        “Mr. Gibbs?” Weatherby said.

        “Yes, sir,” Gibbs said.

        “It’s Commodore Norrington, Mr. Gibbs, we came to find out what happened to Miss Swann and Mr. Turner when they didn’t return with the ship,” James said.

        “Um, Commodore, don’t call me Miss Swann anymore, it’s Mrs. Turner,” Elizabeth said.

        “What!” Weatherby said.

        “Yeah, Will and I got married,” Elizabeth said.

        “How is that possible?” Weatherby said.

        “I’m captain of the ship, have the ability,” Jack said.

        “Father, I wanted to marry Will, I love him,” Elizabeth said. Will stood beside her and put his arm around her.

        “And I love her, Governor Swann, very much,” Will said. Elizabeth looked at her father.

        “Father, I’m sorry,” Elizabeth said. Her father shook his head and turned away from her. James looked at her.

        “Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Turner, have a good life,” James said.

        “Father!” Elizabeth said.

        “As of now, don’t call me your father, you got married without me there and on a ship, you are not longer my daughter,” Weatherby said.

        “I’m sorry, Governor Swann, you said follow my heart and I did, okay, you were happy with my choice of the man I wanted to be with, I followed my heart to Will, I wanted to be his wife, I actually considered returning to Port Royal with Will to have a ceremony with you there but since you don’t want anything to do with me, that isn’t going to be possible anymore, goodbye, Governor Swann,” Elizabeth said. She turned and went below deck. Will looked at Weatherby.

        “Thanks for the support, Governor Swann, I love Elizabeth, I would die for her, I have been in love with her for a long time, you have turned away your only daughter,” Will said. He went below deck. Jack sailed the Pearl away from the Dauntless. Will found Elizabeth sitting in a corner. He went to her.

        “Elizabeth,” Will said. Elizabeth threw herself in his arms. He sat and held her.

        “I lost my father!” Elizabeth cried.

        “It was his choice, Elizabeth, you followed your heart, he said to follow your heart and you did, he has to live with it, but you have me and I am not going to let you go, I am your family now, I love you,” Will said.

        “I love you, too, you are all I have left and I never want to lose you!” Elizabeth said crying. She buried her face in Will’s chest and held onto him.

        “We have company again, it’s the Dauntless,” Jack called down to them. Will went up and saw the Dauntless pull up beside them.

        “What now,” Will said.

        “I would like to speak to my daughter,” Weatherby said. Will glared at him.

        “As I recall, you don’t have a daughter anymore, your own words,” Will said.

        “Will, please,” Weatherby said.

        “Why so you can hurt her more than you have, she’s really upset right now,” Will said.

        “Mr. Turner, please get your wife,” James said. Will sighed and called down to Elizabeth. She slowly came up and stood beside Will and held onto his hand tightly.

        “What do you want, Governor Swann,” Elizabeth said.

        “I want to apologize,” Weatherby said.

        “Why,” Elizabeth said.

        “I accept your marriage to Will, I know he’ll make you very happy, I am sorry for the things I said, I was just upset that I couldn’t give you away at your wedding,” Weatherby said.

        “Why the change of heart,” Elizabeth said.

        “I had a spiritual visit, from your mother, she made me realize that you are grown up and you are able to make your own choices,” Weatherby said.

        “Commodore, another ship coming, it’s the Endeavor,” a crew member said.

        “Beckett,” James said.

        “We are out of here,” Jack said. He sailed the ship away. Will and Elizabeth got up on the captain’s deck and watched the Endeavor pull up beside the Dauntless.

        “Is Beckett really bad?” Will asked.

        “Yup,” Jack said.

        “He’s after us,” Will said as he watched the Endeavor sail after the Pearl. The crew went to work. They watched the Endeavor coming after them when a ship came out of the water.

        “The Flying Dutchman,” Jack said. Soon there was cannon fire and the Flying Dutchman destroyed the Endeavor and the crew. Will went down below. The Dutchman came up beside the Black Pearl after the Endeavor sank.

        “Bootstrap!” Jack said.

        “Hello Jack, got the ship back,” Bill said.

        “Yes, I did, Barbossa is dead, and from the looks of it, Beckett is defeated,” Jack said.

        “They were after you, you are a good captain, couldn’t let anything happen to you,” Bill said. Will came up from below and saw his father.

        “Father,” Will said. Bill looked at him and his eyes widened.

        “William,” Bill said.

        “I heard you were captain of the Dutchman,” Will said. Elizabeth came up beside him.

        “Yes, the crew and I recovered the Dead Man’s Chest and I stabbed Jones’s heart so I’m captain now,” Bill said.

        “Father, I want you to meet my wife, Elizabeth,” Will said. Bill looked at Elizabeth and smiled.

        “Hello, Mr. Turner,” Elizabeth said.

        “Hello, Elizabeth,” Bill said.

        “Thank you for taking care of Beckett,” Elizabeth said. Bill nodded.

        “I’m glad I did,” Bill said. The Dauntless sailed up beside the Pearl.

        “Who sunk the Endeavor?” James asked.

        “I did, sir, I’m Captain Bill Turner,” Bill said.

        “Turner?” James asked.

        “He’s my father, he did it to save us, Beckett was coming after us,” Will said.

        “We know, he also informed us that Mr. Smith is indeed Captain Jack Sparrow,” James said.

        “So what, I’m thinking of a change, a merchant sailor seems to be a good start at a new life,” Jack said.

        “You lied about who you were, Captain Sparrow,” James said.

        “Maybe because I’m not proud of all that I’ve done, maybe I wanted a new life, you see, I felt that there was a need for a change when I met Will and Elizabeth, they made me see that there was other things I could do other than being a pirate, I can be anything, a blacksmith, merchant sailor, an honest man,” Jack said.

        “You really want to change your ways,” James said.

        “Possibly,” Jack said. Elizabeth looked for her father and didn’t see him.

        “Commodore, where’s my father?” Elizabeth asked.

        “Your father is dead, Elizabeth, he was on the Endeavor when the Dutchman attacked it,” James said.

        “Oh no,” Bill said. He quickly got to the wheel and took the Dutchman down into the ocean.

Elizabeth stood there and she turned and looked at Will. He looked at James.

        “Why was he on the Endeavor, Commodore, it was coming after us, why did you let him go on the Endeavor with Beckett!” Will said.

        “To ensure the safety of you and Elizabeth, Mr. Turner, he had to go under Beckett’s command,” James said. Will took Elizabeth in his arms.

        “How could you let him go, Commodore, the Pearl is the fastest ship in the sea, we would have outran the Endeavor, because you let him go on the Endeavor, my father destroyed it and killed everyone on board, he didn’t know who Elizabeth’s father was or knew that I was on board the Pearl, my father wouldn’t have done anything to the Endeavor if he knew that my wife’s father was on board,” Will said. Elizabeth held onto Will as she cried.

        “There was nothing I could do, Will, since Governor Swann is gone, the law states that his heir becomes Governor, before he got on the Endeavor, he wrote his will and a proclamation, that if he passed on, his daughter is in charge of Port Royal, since there is a law that a woman can’t be governor, that leaves her husband, Will, you are now Governor of Port Royal,” James said.

        “I’m Governor?” Will asked.

        “Yes,” James said. They heard a boom and saw the Flying Dutchman sailing towards them and it pulled up beside them.

        “I found him!” Bill said as Governor Swann came up beside him.

        “Father!” Elizabeth said.

        “Elizabeth!” Weatherby said. Jack put the plank up between the boats and helped Governor Swann come aboard the Pearl.  Elizabeth ran to her father and hugged him. Will smiled as he watched.

        “Commodore was just naming Will governor!” Elizabeth said.

        “That’s what I wanted if I passed on,” Weatherby said.

        “I’m so glad you are back,” Elizabeth said.

        “Thank you, Father,” Will said.

        “It’s my honor,” Bill said.

        “Mr. Turner said I was needed back here, I was headed to heaven and he came and told me that I was needed back here,” Weatherby said.

        “Governor,” Will said holding out his hand. Governor Swann shook it and pulled Will in for a hug.

        “I am proud to call you my son-in-law,” Weatherby said. Elizabeth smiled.

        “Thank you, sir,” Will said.

        “You take good care of my daughter, son,” Weatherby said. Will nodded.

        “Yes, sir,” Will said. Weatherby hugged Elizabeth and got onto the Dauntless.

        “Beckett is gone and the seas are safe,” James said. Elizabeth looked at Will.

        “Should we stay on the Pearl or go back to Port Royal,” Elizabeth said.

        “Let’s go back to Port Royal and start our life together,” Will said.

        “It’s been a pleasure having you two aboard,” Jack said. Will and Jack shook hands.

        “Thank you, Jack, for everything,” Elizabeth said.

        “You’re welcome,” Jack said.

        “If you are near Port Royal, come see us,” Will said.

        “Will do,” Jack said. Will and Elizabeth said bye to the crew and got on the Dauntless. They headed back to Port Royal.

        “Where are we going to live?” Elizabeth asked.

        “You two can live at the governor’s mansion,” Weatherby said.

        “Are you sure, Father?” Elizabeth asked.

        “You are my daughter, I’m sure,” Weatherby said.

        “I better check in with Mr. Brown,” Will said.

        “I’ll go with you, we’ll see you at the mansion, Father,” Elizabeth said. Weatherby nodded and got into the carriage. Elizabeth and Will went to the blacksmith’s shop. They walked in and saw Mr. Brown working.

        “Mr. Brown,” Will said.

        “Will, there you are, you’re back,” Mr. Brown said.

        “I’m sorry I took off like that, there was something that had to be done,” Will said.

        “Well, I’m glad you are back,” Mr. Brown said.

        “Mr. Brown,” Elizabeth said.

        “Miss Swann,” Mr. Brown said.

        “Actually it’s Mrs. Turner now,” Elizabeth said.

        “You two are married?” Mr. Brown said.

        “Yes, we are,” Elizabeth said.

        “Congratulations,” Mr. Brown said.

        “Thanks, I’ll be here first thing in the morning,” Will said. Mr. Brown nodded and went back to work. Will got his stuff from his place and they went to the mansion and walked in and the maids and butlers clapped.

        “Wow,” Will said.

        “Welcome Mr. and Mrs. Turner,” Eliza said.

        “Thank you, Eliza,” Elizabeth said. She grabbed Will’s hand and led him up to her room. They went in and closed the door. She made room for his clothes. There was a knock at the door. Elizabeth opened it and saw her father.

        “Father,” Elizabeth said.

        “Just making sure everything was okay,” Weatherby said. Elizabeth smiled.

        “Yes, Father, we just got here and Will’s unpacking his clothes,” Elizabeth said.

        “I’m glad you two came back to Port Royal, I was worried about you, Elizabeth, but I know I shouldn’t have been worried because I knew that Will would protect you,” Weatherby said.

        “We are going to turn in for the night, goodnight, Father,” Elizabeth said hugging him. He smiled and went to his room. Elizabeth closed the door and got ready for bed. She got into bed. Will got into bed and they went to sleep.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

She woke up to someone shaking her and she opened her eyes and saw Gibbs.

        “Mr. Gibbs,” Elizabeth said. She sat up and saw she was at Tia Dalma’s hut.

        “Will’s getting ready to go to Singapore,” Gibbs said.

        “I need to talk to him,” Elizabeth said. Gibbs went to get Will. Will came back to where she was.

        “Elizabeth,” Will said. She got up and went to him and hugged him.

        “Don’t go, please!” Elizabeth said.

        “I have to get the charts,” Will said.

        “You will get caught!” Elizabeth said.

        “Elizabeth, I can do it,” Will said.

        “Will, please, don’t go, please,” Elizabeth said.

        “Elizabeth, what’s wrong,” Will said.

        “I have this bad feeling, I know you will get caught, I have this feeling like everything has happened before,” Elizabeth said. Will came over to her.

        “Elizabeth, I saw you kissing Jack on the Pearl,” Will said. Elizabeth looked at him.

        “It was nothing, just a distraction, to chain him to the ship, I sent him to the locker, I had to do it, to save us all, the Kraken was after Jack, not the Pearl, if Jack got into the long boat with us, we wouldn’t be here right now, I had to do what I did to save us all, The Kraken wouldn’t stop until it had Jack,” Elizabeth said.

        “Elizabeth,” Will said. Elizabeth looked at him.

        “I’m sorry, I love you, only you,” Elizabeth said. Will hugged her close.

        “I love you,” Will said.

        “Will, please, let’s just go meet Sao Feng, I don’t want to risk you getting caught,” Elizabeth said. Will nodded and went to tell Barbossa. They got into the boat and headed for Singapore. They arrived and went to see Sao Feng and missed being seen by the troops of the East India Trading Company. They stood before Sao Feng.

        “We are in need of a ship and a crew,” Barbossa said.

        “Really, to where?” Sao Feng said.

        “Davy Jones’ Locker, we need the map, too, the song has been sung, we have to convene the Brethren Court, we have to get Jack Sparrow from the locker, he is a pirate lord, he has a piece of eight and didn’t pass it on to a successor,” Barbossa said.

        “Why should I help?” Sao Feng asked.

        “Don’t you want to stop hiding, if we all work together, we can defeat Lord Cutler Beckett and the East India Trading Company, they can’t be trusted, if a deal is made, they will betray it, my fiancé Will and I made a deal with Beckett and we were betrayed,” Elizabeth said.

        “He wanted me to get Jack Sparrow’s Compass, he said if I did, me and Elizabeth would be pardoned, but he lied, the pardon was for Jack Sparrow only, he don’t honor deals,” Will said. Sao Feng nodded to Tai Huang and he left. He came back with the charts.

        “Here, and you can have the ship and crew, I’ll meet you all at Shipwreck Cove,” Sao Feng said. They bowed and quickly made their way to the ship. The crew got on and they were on their way.

        “That was easy,” Will said sitting beside Elizabeth.

        “Yeah,” Elizabeth said.

        “Elizabeth,” Will said.

        “I know you want to save your father, Will, but if you do, you’ll lose me and I can’t bear losing you,” Elizabeth said. Will cupped her cheek.

        “I love you, I will not lose you and you won’t lose me, if I had a choice between you or my father, I would choose you, always,” Will said. Barbossa came up to them.

        “Do you want to get married?” Barbossa asked.

        “Can you do that?” Will asked.

        “Captain of the ship,” Barbossa said. Will looked at Elizabeth and she nodded. Barbossa performed the ceremony. Elizabeth and Will kissed and the crew cheered. They went below to consummate the marriage in private. Later, they came up and it was cold. They wrapped a blanket around them and huddled together. Soon it was nighttime and they sat at the bow of the ship and stared up at the sky. Will held her in his arms. He looked and saw something ahead.

        “Oh no,” Will said. Elizabeth looked and saw it and they ran to Barbossa.

        “Barbossa, ahead,” Will said.

        “Aye, we are good and lost now,” Barbossa said.

        “To stations! All Hands to Stations!” Will called as they all ran to work. Everyone held on as they went over the edge. Awhile later, they all crawl onto a beach and it was daytime and sunny. They looked around.

        “I don’t see Jack, or anyone,” Elizabeth said. Will came up to her.

        “He has to be here somewhere,” Will said. They heard rumbling and looked and saw the Black Pearl gliding across the sand. They saw crabs guiding it to the water and Jack came back on a longboat and they all ran to him.

        “Jack!” they said.

        “Everyone, Mr. Gibbs, Marty, William, Elizabeth,” Jack said.

        “Jack, I’m sorry for what I did,” Elizabeth said.

        “I understood why, the Kraken wouldn’t have given up unless it got me, you saved the crew, and now you are all here to rescue me,” Jack said.

        “Yes, we are here to bring you back, the Brethren Court has been called,” Will said.

        “Brethren Court, you mean the song was sung?” Jack asked.

        “Yes, the song has been sung, we have to get to Shipwreck Cove,” Tia Dalma said.

        “Jack Sparrow,” Barbossa said.

        “Ah, Hector, been a long time, you were brought back because of the court?” Jack asked.

        “Yes,” Barbossa said.

        “Well, everyone, let’s set sail and get out of this place,” Jack said. They all boarded the Pearl. Jack came over to Elizabeth and Will.

        “So did you two ever get married?” Jack asked.

        “Yes, Barbossa married us,” Will said.

        “I so much wanted to perform the ceremony,” Jack said. Elizabeth shrugged.

        “Sorry, Jack, Barbossa did it before we got down here,” Elizabeth said.

        “You couldn’t have waited,” Jack said.

        “Jack, who is captain of the Black Pearl,” Will said.

        “Me,” Jack said.

        “Me,” Barbossa said coming up to them.

        “I am captain of the Black Pearl,” Jack said.

        “Everyone, come up here,” Will called to the crew. The crew gathered around them.

        “We are taking a vote, who should be Captain of the Black Pearl, Jack Sparrow or Barbossa, raise your hands if you want Barbossa as captain,” Elizabeth said. The crew looked at each other.

        “Who wants Jack as Captain?” Will asked. The crew raised their hands.

        “See, I’m Captain,” Jack said. He went up to the wheel and got his compass out. Barbossa glared at Will and Elizabeth.

        “Barbossa, the crew has spoken, you have to go along with what the crew wants or there will be no crew,” Tia Dalma said. Barbossa nodded.

        “Sorry, Barbossa,” Elizabeth said.

        “It’s what the crew wants,” Barbossa said.

        “I guess for awhile the crew has seen Jack as the Captain of the Black Pearl, this crew I mean,” Will said.

        “How about Co-Captains?” Jack asked coming up to them. Barbossa looked at him.

        “Co-Captains?” Barbossa asked.

        “That is if you two can work together,” Will said.

        “I could possibly,” Jack said.

        “I guess I could settle for that,” Barbossa said.

        “Captain Barbossa and Captain Sparrow,” Jack said.

It became night and Pintel and Ragetti saw something and ran up to Jack and Barbossa.

        “Boats,” Ragetti said. They all looked and saw people in boats.

        “People heading for the other side,” Tia Dalma said. Elizabeth looked over and saw her father in a boat passing by the Pearl. Will came beside her.

        “My father,” Elizabeth said.

        “Beckett must have had him killed or something,” Will said.

        “Father!” Elizabeth called. Her father looked and saw her on the Pearl.

        “Elizabeth, are you dead?” he asked.

        “No, Father, I’m not dead,” Elizabeth said.

        “Governor, come aboard, we’ll take you back,” Will said. Governor nodded and they threw him a line and helped him aboard the Pearl.

        “Father, what happened?” Elizabeth asked.

        “The Dead Man’s Chest, I learned what it was about, I guess I wasn’t suppose to know,” Weatherby said.

        “Governor Swann, welcome aboard the Black Pearl,” Jack said.

        “Sparrow,” Weatherby said.

        “Father, did Beckett kill you?” Elizabeth asked.

        “He had Mercer kill me,” Weatherby said.

        “We must get out of here and get to Shipwreck Cove,” Barbossa said.

        “Beckett knows about the meeting of the Pirate Lords, he had a contact in Singapore,” Weatherby said.

        “Sao Feng must have made a deal with Beckett,” Tai Huang said.

        “No, Beckett don’t make deals with pirates, he would rather them be dead than make deals, he had a spy pretending to be a pirate,” Weatherby said.

        “Father, what else do you know,” Elizabeth said.

        “Beckett made Norrington an admiral,” Weatherby said.

        “He took the heart of Davy Jones to Beckett,” Jack said.

        “The Letters of Marque also,” Elizabeth said.

        “I’m so glad you are alive, they said you went down with the Pearl,” Weatherby said.

        “Nope, just me,” Jack said.

        “You came to Davy Jones’ Locker to rescue him,” Weatherby said.

        “Father, Jack is a pirate lord, all pirate lords have to be at the meeting, all pirate lords carry a piece of eight, Jack didn’t give his to anyone before he died, we had to come get him to have the meeting,” Elizabeth said.

“It’s called the Brethren Court, the first court captured the sea goddess, Calypso, and bound her into human form, there are nine pirate lords and it took all nine pieces of eight to bind her, it will take nine pieces of eight to release her,” Barbossa said.

        “But we can’t release her, Barbossa, if the Brethren Court captured her, she will not act on the court’s behalf,” Elizabeth said.

        “Barbossa, we can come up with another plan,” Will said.

        “Such as what, Mr. Turner,” Barbossa said.

        “Someone can get onboard the Dutchman and get rid of Davy Jones,” Will said.

        “Like who?” Barbossa asked.

        “I could,” Jack said.

        “Jack,” Will said.

        “I could get aboard the Dutchman, stab the heart, become captain and help get rid of Beckett,” Jack said.

        “You would do that, you would have to do the job, Jack, ferry those who died to the other side,” Will said.

        “I can do that,” Jack said.

        “Father, can you help us?” Elizabeth asked.

        “Yes, Beckett needs to be stopped, if I have to be a pirate to stop him, so be it,” Weatherby said.

        “I have an idea, Beckett thinks you’re dead, you can sneak aboard the Dutchman and pretend to be a ghost, get to Norrington and ask him to stab the heart of Davy Jones for you so you can rest in peace and ask him to be on our side and help defeat Beckett,” Will said.

        “Now there’s a good idea, Norrington will do anything for my father,” Elizabeth said.

        “But he’s working for Beckett,” Jack said.

        “He respects my father, if my father asks him to get rid of Beckett, he will,” Elizabeth said.

        “Let’s get to work,” Jack said. They found the way out of the locker and back to the land of the living. It was morning and they went over the plan.

That night, Weatherby and Will snuck aboard the Dutchman. They went to the room where the chest was and saw Norrington. Will hid. James turned and saw him.

        “Governor, you returned from England,” James said.

        “No, Mr. Norrington, I’m dead, Beckett killed me, I can’t rest in peace until he is gone,” Weatherby said.

        “What do you want me to do,” James said.

        “Stab the heart, become captain and help defeat Beckett,” Weatherby said. James looked at Mullogh and Mulory. They nodded and unlocked the chest and opened it and James grabbed his sword and stabbed the heart. Mullough and Mulory hid. Weatherby disappeared as the crew of the Dutchman came in to make James captain. There was a fight and all of Beckett’s men was killed by the crew. James came out after becoming captain. James had changed into pirate clothes. Weatherby stood there.

        “Now I’m captain, I will do everything I can to help, I will help the pirates, I will do anything for you, you have my word, Governor,” James said. Will came out of hiding.

        “Free my father,” Will said.

        “Mr. Turner,” James said.

        “I’m alive, Mr. Norrington, Elizabeth and Will and the Pearl rescued me and brought me back when they went to get Jack Sparrow, there is a meeting at Shipwreck Cove for all pirate lords and Jack was one of them,” Weatherby said.

        “Elizabeth came up with the plan for her father to act as a ghost to get you and the Dutchman on our side to help us get rid of Beckett,” Will said.

        “I gave my word and I will help, I’m on your side now,” James said.

        “Good, you are a good man, Norrington, we need good men on our side,” Will said.

        “Let’s get back to my daughter and the Pearl,” Weatherby said. Will and Weatherby got back on the Pearl.

        “Well,” Jack and Elizabeth said.

        “Norrington is now captain of the Flying Dutchman and he gave his word that he will help us defeat Beckett, Beckett told Norrington that I had gone back to England,” Weatherby said.

        “He was covering his tracks, he knew Norrington would kill him if he told the truth,” Elizabeth said.

        “Aye, Mrs. Turner, now we have the Dutchman on our side, we have the advantage,” Barbossa said.

        “Turner?” Weatherby asked Elizabeth and Will.

        “Barbossa married us before we traveled down to the locker to get Jack, we wanted to be married in case we didn’t survive,” Elizabeth said.

        “As soon as this is all over, we will have a traditional ceremony,” Will said.

        “I wasn’t here for it, you didn’t know that I had been killed,” Weatherby said.  The Dutchman came up beside them. James came over to the side of the ship. Will’s father came beside him.

        “Mr. Turner, I freed your father, he wants to remain as part of the crew but he is free to leave when he wants,” James said.

        “Thank you,” Will said.

        “James, thank you,’ Elizabeth said.

        “I would do anything your father asked me to do, Elizabeth, I will help you and all the pirates defeat Beckett,” James said.

        “Okay, we are going to have the meeting and then face the Endeavor and the East India Trading Company, you have to act like you are on Beckett’s side and act like you are coming to fight us but then we turn and surprise Beckett and destroy the Endeavor, then I know the other ships will turn and run if they find out that we are unstoppable,” Elizabeth said. James nodded and told his crew the plan and they went underwater.  The Pearl headed for Shipwreck Cove. They pulled up to the dock.

        “The Pirate King can only declare war and the pirate lords will only vote for themselves,” Barbossa said.

        “We have to vote for you or Jack and declare war, that is the only way we can defeat Beckett,” Elizabeth said.

        “If I’m king, I’m voting to release Calypso,” Barbossa said. Elizabeth glared at him.

        “Barbossa, she won’t be on our side, if the court were the ones who bound her into human form, she will turn against the court,” Elizabeth said.

        “She’s right, Barbossa,” Jack said.

        “Barbossa, I’m an honest person, okay, she will not be on our side, the court imprisoned her, she will not do what the court asks of her,” Elizabeth said.

        “That is right,” Tia Dalma said coming up to them.

        “Do you really want to stay like this?” Barbossa asked.

        “Yes, I do, Davy Jones is gone, you can defeat Beckett now you have an ally, the crew and captain of the Flying Dutchman, I smell victory for pirates everywhere, I have grown accustomed and I like being in human form,” Tia Dalma said.

        “Let’s have the meeting so we can fight,” Barbossa said. They all went into the meeting and voted Jack as Pirate King and he declared war. All the lords and their crew went to their ships and waited for the East India Trading Company to show up. Will came up beside Elizabeth.

        “I love you, Mrs. Turner,” Will said. She turned to him and smiled at him.

        “I love you, Mr. Turner,” Elizabeth said. They kissed and stood beside each other and waited. Elizabeth turned to her father.

        “Father, go to a safe spot below deck, so no one will see you, we want Beckett to think you are dead,” Elizabeth said. Weatherby nodded and went below. They headed for the Endeavor as it headed for them. They heard something and saw the Dutchman come up from below and Jack signaled James and he nodded and they turned and came on both sides of the Endeavor and fired all cannons and they destroyed the Endeavor and it sank. They looked and saw the armada turn and go the opposite way. Elizabeth smiled and came to the side and yelled at James.

        “I knew it, thanks, James!” Elizabeth said.

        “The seas are safe, now I must go do what I have to do as Captain of the Flying Dutchman, ferry those who died to the other side, have a good life, Elizabeth,” James said. Weatherby came up beside Elizabeth.

        “Thank you, Captain Norrington,” Weatherby said.

        “You are welcome, Governor,” James said. He went to the wheel and sailed off. Weatherby looked at his daughter.

        “I want to go home to Port Royal,” Weatherby said. They head to Port Royal. Elizabeth and Will sat on the deck of the ship and leaned against each other and fell asleep.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Elizabeth opened her eyes and saw she was in her room at the mansion. She sat up and looked around and saw she was alone. She got up and got dressed and went downstairs to see the butler opening the front door and saw Will walk in with a sword case. He looked up and saw Elizabeth and smiled.

        “Good morning, Elizabeth,” Will said.

        “Will,” Elizabeth said hugging him.

        “Elizabeth, are you okay?” Will asked.

        “Yes, I am, now that you are here,” Elizabeth said.

        “Elizabeth, Mr. Turner,” Weatherby said coming into the room.

        “Good day, Governor, I have the sword for Mr. Norrington’s promotion,” Will said opening the case.

        “Thank you, Mr. Turner,” Weatherby said looking the sword over. Elizabeth ran upstairs.

        “Is Elizabeth okay, sir?” Will asked.

        “She was yesterday,” Weatherby said.

        “She saw me come in and she hugged me, I asked if she was okay, and she said she was now that I was here,” Will said.

        “Maybe she needs a friend, go on up,” Weatherby said. Will nodded and went upstairs and knocked on Elizabeth’s door.

        “Who is it?” Elizabeth asked.

        “Elizabeth, it’s Will, may I come in?” Will asked. The door opened and she yanked him in and closed the door and locked it. He stood by the door and looked at Elizabeth and saw she’d been crying. She went and sat down on her bed.

        “I don’t know what is going on, either I’m dreaming a lot or something, it is so weird,” Elizabeth said.

        “What was the dream about?” Will asked. He pulled a chair over and sat down.

        “Pirates, we were on a ship called the Black Pearl, we defeated Lord Cutler Beckett of the East India Trading Company with the help of the Flying Dutchman, Norrington was captain, we were helping two captains named Jack Sparrow and Barbossa, that was so weird and on top of that, you and I were married,” Elizabeth said.

        “Wow,” Will said.

        “It seemed so real,” Elizabeth said.  She got up and opened her drawer and opened the secret compartment and saw the medallion. She pulled it out.

        “This is yours, I saw it when we rescued you and I hid it so no one would think you were a pirate,” Elizabeth said.

        “Why would I be a pirate?” Will asked. She handed him the medallion and he looked at it.

        “I thought I lost this, my father sent it to me,” Will said. She sat down.

        “In my dream, your father was part of the crew of the Flying Dutchman,” Elizabeth said.

        “In your dream, my father was a pirate?” Will asked.

        “Yes,” Elizabeth said. Will stood up.

        “I can’t believe this,” Will said.

        “Will, I’m sorry, dreams aren’t real, are they,” Elizabeth said.

        “I need to find out,” Will said. She nodded and got up and pulled him downstairs.

        “Elizabeth,” Weatherby said.

        “I need to go to town, Father,” Elizabeth said. He signaled for the carriage. The carriage came out front and Elizabeth and Will got in and they went to town. They went down to the dock and saw Jack Sparrow on the docks. He looked around at the ships.

        “Captain Jack Sparrow,” Elizabeth said. He looked at her and saw her.

        “Do I know you?” Jack asked.

        “No, but I know who you are,” Elizabeth said.

        “Really, you have heard of me, then,” Jack said.

        “What do you know about this?” Will asked holding up the medallion.  Jack looked at it.

        “Where did you get that?” Jack asked.

        “My father sent it to me, my name is Will Turner,” Will said.

        “My name is Elizabeth Swann,” Elizabeth said.

        “Turner,” Jack said.

        “Did you know my father?” Will asked.

        “I knew him,” Jack said.

        “Was he a pirate?” Will asked.

        “Yes, and a good man,” Jack said.

        “Oh god,” Will said.

        “I knew him as William Turner, everyone else called him Bootstrap or Bootstrap Bill,” Jack said.

        “Bootstrap,” Will said.

        “My ship was taken from me and my first mate and the crew left me on an island,” Jack said. Elizabeth heard the bells and looked at Will.

        “Norrington’s promotion ceremony, my father wants me there,” Elizabeth said.  She went to the carriage. Will looked at Jack.

        “Is she your lady love?” Jack asked.

        “I’m in love with her, only she doesn’t know it, we come from two different worlds, I’m a blacksmith, she’s the governor’s daughter,” Will said.

        “And that is a problem?” Jack asked.

        “For most people, yes,” Will said.

        “We can’t help who we love, mate, if you love her, tell her,” Jack said.

        “Come on,” Will said. They went to his blacksmith shop and saw his boss asleep.

        “Who’s that,” Jack said.

        “My boss, he sleeps all day while I do all the work and then takes credit for the work,” Will said.

        “Does anyone know about this?” Jack asked.

        “No, Mr. Brown is a respected man in this town,” Will said. He took off his coat and began to work. Jack looked around and sat down.

Elizabeth stood with the crowd and watched the ceremony. Afterwards, she stood at the end of the fort looking out at the ocean. She felt someone beside her and looked and saw Norrington standing there.

        “May I have a word?” James asked. Elizabeth nodded.

        “This promotion has got me thinking, that maybe it’s time for me to settle down with a fine woman, you have become a fine woman, Elizabeth,” James said.

        “Commodore,” Elizabeth said.

        “I’m asking for your hand in marriage,” James said.

        “I can’t give you an answer right now, Commodore, I need time to think,” Elizabeth said. She ran down the stairs and down the street and ran into the blacksmith’s shop and saw Will working. Jack was sitting there with his hat covering his eyes.

        “Will,” Elizabeth said. Will stopped working and looked up at her.

        “Elizabeth, you okay?” Will asked. Jack looked up.

        “Norrington asked me to marry him, I couldn’t give him an answer,” Elizabeth said.

        “Why not?” Will asked.

        “Because I don’t love him,” Elizabeth said.

        “Elizabeth, the commodore asked you to be his wife, it would be a good match,” Will said.

        “Miss Swann, may I make a suggestion, accept the proposal if only you think it would be good for the people and your father, or just go where your heart leads you,” Jack said. Elizabeth looked at him and he sat back down.

        “That does make sense, thank you, Jack,” Elizabeth said. She left. Will looked at Jack and went back to work.

        “She’ll be back,” Jack said.

        “What,” Will said.

        “I saw the way she was looking at you, she is in love with you,” Jack said.

        “Are you sure about that?” Will asked.

        “I have a sense about the ladies,” Jack said.

        “Yet you don’t have a lady,” Will said.

        “Never found the right lady, mate,” Jack said. Elizabeth came in with her father.  Will turned and faced them. Weatherby glared at him.

        “My daughter has turned down a proposal from the commodore because of your friend’s advice,” Weatherby said. Will looked at Jack.

        “I said go where her heart leads her, I also said accept the proposal if she thinks it would be good for you and the people,” Jack said. Weatherby looked at Elizabeth.

        “Elizabeth, Commodore Norrington is an upstanding gentleman,” Weatherby said.

        “I know, Father, but I don’t love him,” Elizabeth said.

        “When I met your mother, I didn’t love her, but I married her and we grew to love each other and we had you,” Weatherby said.

        “Father, I want to make my own choices, and I have,” Elizabeth said. She went and stood beside Will.

        “Elizabeth,” Weatherby said.

        “I’m in love with Will Turner, Father,” Elizabeth said. Weatherby looked at Will.

        “And do you feel the same way for my daughter?” Weatherby asked.

        “Yes, sir, I do,” Will said. Weatherby shook his head.

        “I’m sorry, Elizabeth, but I can’t accept this, you are my daughter, a governor’s daughter, and you have fallen in love with a blacksmith,” Weatherby said.

        “He is a good man, Father, you have known him as long as I have, remember,” Elizabeth said.

        “It doesn’t matter, Elizabeth, how long we’ve known him, what matters is that you are going beneath you,” Weatherby said.

        “This is where my heart has led me, you and Mother have taught me to go where my heart leads me, and Jack said the same thing that got me thinking, he pretty much said what Mother and you have said to me, only he didn’t know that, I’m sorry if I can’t be with who you think is right for me, I want to be with Will,” Elizabeth said. Weatherby looked at his daughter.

        “Then be with him, don’t bother coming home, you won’t be welcome,” Weatherby said. He went out the door. Elizabeth turned and held onto Will as he held her close.

        “Elizabeth,” Will said.

        “I don’t care what he thinks, I want to be with you, Will, nothing is going to change my mind,” Elizabeth said.

        “Are you sure about this?” Will asked.

        “I’m sure about this, my life is with you,” Elizabeth said. Will hugged her.

        “And mine is with you,” Will said.

        “Let’s get out of Port Royal, I don’t want to be where I’m not welcome,” Elizabeth said. Will looked at Jack.

        “Where is this place to return this medallion,” Will said. Jack smiled.

        “I need a ship,” Jack said.

        “I have an idea,” Elizabeth said. Will found her some clothes and tucked some stuff together and they went to the docks and saw the Dauntless and the Interceptor.

        “I can distract the two guards, we are taking the Interceptor,” Elizabeth said. Will and Jack went another way as Elizabeth walked the docks.

        “Miss Swann, how are you today,” Mullough said.

        “Just fine, thank you, is anyone on board the Interceptor?” Elizabeth asked.

        “No ma’am, everyone is at the fort,” Mullough said.

        “Is it okay if I go check and make sure that I didn’t leave something on board, I can’t find my corset,” Elizabeth said.

        “Sure, go ahead, you can do anything, as the governor’s daughter,” Mullough said. Elizabeth smiled and gave them kisses on the cheek and knocked them in the water and ran onboard the Interceptor and unhooked it from the dock as Jack and Will got on and got the sails ready and they took off. They got out of the bay and to open sea. Elizabeth took the wheel while Jack and Will got to work.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

James was in his office when Mullough and Mulory came running in dripping wet.

        “Sir, the Interceptor is gone, Miss Swann took it, she said she left something on there and we let her since she was the governor’s daughter and she kissed our cheek but then she pushed us in the water and ran onboard,” Mulory said. James stood up.

        “Who was she with?” James asked.

        “We didn’t see anyone on the ship with her,” Mullough said.

        “We are sorry, sir,” Mulory said.

        “It is not possible for her to sail a ship by herself,” James said. Weatherby came in.

        “What is happening,” Weatherby said.

        “The Interceptor was taken, by your daughter, apparently alone since these two didn’t see anyone with her,” James said.

        “She has to be with Will Turner and that Jack fellow,” Weatherby said.

        “Jack?” James asked.

        “Yes, he looked like a pirate,” Weatherby said.

        “Jack, Jack Sparrow,” James said.

        “You’ve heard of him?” Weatherby said.

        “He is wanted by the East India Trading Company,” James said.

        “He didn’t seem to act like a pirate, he acted like he knew my daughter and Will for awhile but I know Elizabeth hasn’t met him before and Will has said before that he hates pirates,” Weatherby said.

        “Do you want us to go search for them?” James asked.

        “I got angry, she won’t want to come back, I told her she wasn’t welcome at home, what a mistake I made, I should have been happy for her choice, I want her to be happy and if it is with Will Turner, I should have accepted it, he is a good man,” Weatherby said.

        “Yes, he is, when she told me her choice, I knew that she was following her heart, I could tell she really loves him,” James said.

        “We’ll just see if they come back,” Weatherby said.

        “And if they don’t?” James asked.

        “If they don’t come back in a week, we are going to look for them,” Weatherby said. James nodded.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The Interceptor pulled up in Tortuga. They docked and got off the ship and looked around.

        “Welcome to Tortuga, mates,” Jack said.

        “What will we find here?” Will asked.

        “A crew,” Jack said. They went to a place and Jack saw the man he was looking for. He got a bucket of water. Elizabeth looked and recognized the man.

        “I know him,” Elizabeth said. Jack looked at her.

        “You know Mr. Gibbs?” Jack asked.

        “He was part of the crew of the Dauntless when it was bringing me and my father from England to Port Royal,” Elizabeth said. Jack threw water on Mr. Gibbs. He woke up and saw Jack, Will, and Elizabeth. He got up.

        “Jack!” Gibbs said.

        “Mr. Gibbs,” Jack said.

        “Mr. Gibbs,” Elizabeth said. Gibbs looked at her and smiled.

        “Miss Elizabeth, good to see you again,” Gibbs said.

        “You, too, Mr. Gibbs,” Elizabeth said.

        “Mr. Gibbs, can you find me a crew,” Jack said.

        “Aye,” Gibbs said.

The next morning, they went to the docks and saw Gibbs with a crew.

        “We have Cotton who can’t talk, no tongue, but his parrot talks for him,” Gibbs said.

        “Marty,” Gibbs said nodding to the very short guy.

        “What’s the benefit for us?” they heard someone say. They went down to the end to the sailor who had their hand down covering their face. Jack slowly lifted the hat and removed it to reveal a woman called Annamaria. She slapped him.

        “Did you deserve that?” Will asked.

        “Yes, I did,” Jack said.

        “You stole my boat!” Annamaria said.

        “I borrowed it without permission with the intention of bringing it back to you but I ventured into Port Royal and it sunk, I’m sorry,” Jack said. Annamaria slapped him again.

        “You can have another ship,” Elizabeth said.

        “Which one?” Will asked.

        “The Interceptor, she can take the helm,” Elizabeth said. Annamaria looked at her.

        “Who are you?” Annamaria asked.

        “My name is Elizabeth Swann,” Elizabeth said.

        “My name is Will Turner,” Will said.

        “They are captains of the ship along with me, savvy,” Jack said.

        “We need a crew for the ship, can you all do it?” Elizabeth said.

        “Aye!” they said. They all went to the Interceptor and headed for the Isle of De Mueta.  They arrived and went in and saw the chest and they opened it and saw the medallions and Will slit his hand and grasped the medallion and put it in the chest and they closed it up and left. Elizabeth went below and went to sleep. She was woken up by Jack. She looked at him.

        “What is it,” Elizabeth said.

        “You are a heavy sleeper,” Jack said.

        “What, what is going on, where’s Will?” Elizabeth said. Jack sighed.

        “The Dauntless caught up with us, to ensure our safety, Will went with them,” Jack said.

        “Oh god, no,” Elizabeth said.

        “Should we go after them?” Jack asked.

        “Go back to Port Royal, at once,” Elizabeth said. Jack nodded and went up on deck. She went up and sat on the steps and prayed that they would get back in time. Once they arrived in Port Royal, Elizabeth ran off the boat and went to the fort and she saw the crowd and saw Will about to be hung.

        “NO!” Elizabeth yelled. She ran up to Will and pulled him off the gallows. She turned and faced her father and Norrington.

        “How dare you do this!” Elizabeth said.

        “He broke the law, he kidnapped you,” Weatherby said.

        “No, he didn’t, it was my idea to leave Port Royal, it was my idea to take the Interceptor, if you want to hang someone, hang me!” Elizabeth said. Norrington released Will from the ropes. Elizabeth glared at her father.

        “We will let Mr. Turner go, if you stay here and marry Commodore Norrington,” Weatherby said.

        “That is blackmail!” Elizabeth said.

        “It’s your choice,” Weatherby said. Elizabeth looked at Will. She moved away and faced her father.

        “To ensure Will’s freedom, I will,” Elizabeth said. Will ran to the docks and got on the Interceptor.

        “Will,” Jack said.

        “Elizabeth got me free, but she has to marry the commodore to ensure it,” Will said.

        “And you let her,” Jack said.

        “They were about to hang me, Jack, they said if she marries Norrington, I go free,” Will said.

        “You must really love her,” Jack said.

        “I would do anything for her, as she would for me, she did that,” Will said.

        “What should we do,” Jack said.

        “I don’t know,” Will said. He looked at the fort and looked up and saw Elizabeth and James. James turned away and Elizabeth fell off the cliff. The crew got the ship ready to sail. Jack took the wheel and headed off out of sight of the fort. They dropped anchor and sat down to decide where to go when the Dauntless came up beside them.

        “Mr. Turner, Sparrow,” James said.

        “Commodore,” Will said.

        “Where is she?” James asked.

        “Who?” Will asked.

        “Elizabeth, Mr. Turner, she fell off the cliff and we can’t find her,” James said.

        “She what!” Will said standing up.

        “We know she did something to get away to be with you, you had it all planned,” James said.

        “That’s ridiculous, we were charting a course, deciding where to go from here, we didn’t know anything about any kind of plan, Elizabeth said she would stay and marry you, Commodore, I love her, I would do anything for her, but I don’t know anything about any plan she had,” Will said.

        “We didn’t know you were going to hang Will, he said when he got on the ship that she was staying and marrying you to ensure Will’s freedom, we dropped anchor here to decide where to go,” Jack said.

        “Have you searched the water?” Will asked.

        “Yes, she couldn’t have stayed underwater for long without coming up for air,” James said.

        “I can’t believe this, how could you do this, all she wanted was to be with me, she would do anything for me as I would her, she proved that by agreeing to marry you so I would go free, you and her father broke her heart by forcing her to choose!” Will said.

        “Her father only wants what is best for her,” James said. Will glared at him.

        “And that’s you, right, I may be only a blacksmith but I love her with everything in me and I would die for her, if she is dead, it will be your fault!” Will said angrily before going down below deck. Jack looked at James.

        “Well, if you excuse us,” Jack said. The crew got the ship ready to sail.

        “Captain Sparrow, we want the ship back,” James said. Jack looked at him. The cannons on the Interceptor fired and the Dauntless began sinking. Jack set sail. Will sat below deck. He heard a noise and saw Elizabeth standing there. He stood up and she ran into his arms.

        “They said you fell off the cliff and couldn’t be found,” Will said.

        “I had to get away, I wanted to fake my death so they wouldn’t come after me,” Elizabeth said.

        “They came after us, Elizabeth,” Will said.

        “I know, I stowed away on the Dauntless and once it came up next to the Interceptor, I snuck off the ship and came aboard the Interceptor and hid below deck,” Elizabeth said. Will looked at her clothes.

        “My clothes?” Will said.

        “I dumped my dress near the cliff and ripped it up and came in my undergarments and found your bag and put the clothes on,” Elizabeth said. Will kissed her deeply.

        “I am never letting you go again,” Will said.

        “I never want you to,” Elizabeth said holding onto him.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Back at Port Royal….

The surviving crew of the Dauntless came ashore where Governor Swann was waiting with Elizabeth’s ripped dress. James looked at it.

        “It’s ripped, I believe my daughter is dead, Commodore, this is no intentional rip, my daughter is very careful with her dresses, I know her, one spot on her dress sets her off, I am declaring my daughter dead, we must have a memorial service, can’t have a funeral with no body, which I know won’t be found in these waters, not when there is evidence that we won’t find her body,” Weatherby said. James nodded.

        “When I talked to Mr. Turner, he seemed surprised that Elizabeth fell off the cliff,” James said.

        “Was he there with her, did he see her fall?” Weatherby asked.

        “No, he said he didn’t know anything, they were heading out when Elizabeth fell, we found the ship a hundred yards from the bay, plotting a course,” James said.

        “I have known Will Turner for a long time now, he never once lied to me or anyone, I know he loved Elizabeth a great deal, he would die for her, but I guess it was the other way around, she died for him, I knew he understood her choice to sacrifice her life with him to set him free, he would do anything for her and she for him, she wanted him free, she did what was right, if I could go back and change things, I should have accepted her choice, he is a fine young man who loved her and I didn’t see it in time,” Weatherby said.

        “We will hold the memorial service tomorrow, sir, go rest,” James said. Weatherby went back to the mansion and sat in Elizabeth’s room and cried.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Back on the Interceptor….

Jack ventured down below deck and saw Will and Elizabeth holding each other.

        “A stowaway,” Jack said.

        “Hi Jack,” Elizabeth said.

        “You faked your own death,” Jack said.

        “Had to, it was the only way I could think of to be with Will,” Elizabeth said.

        “Do you two want to get married?” Jack asked. Will and Elizabeth looked at each other.

        “Yes,” Will and Elizabeth said.

        “Okay, then,” Jack said.

        “We need a minister,” Will said.

        “No you don’t, a captain of a ship can marry you, me,” Jack said.

        “Then marry us, Captain Sparrow,” Elizabeth said holding onto Will. Jack performed the ceremony and pronounced them husband and wife. Elizabeth and Will kissed and held onto each other.

        “Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Turner,” Jack said.

        “Thank you, Jack,” Elizabeth said.

        “You’re welcome,” Jack said. He went back on deck. Elizabeth and Will found a private part of the ship and consummated their marriage. They went on deck and the crew clapped.

        “Elizabeth, congratulations,” Gibbs said.

        “Thank you, Mr. Gibbs,” Elizabeth said. They looked out at the open waters and saw something they couldn’t believe. Jack stood beside Elizabeth, Will, and Gibbs.

        “The Black Pearl, being taken down by the Kraken,” Jack said.

        “Kraken?” Will asked.

        “Davy Jones’ pet, see about 13 years ago, I made a deal with Davy Jones, I would spend 100 years as part of his crew if I could be captain of the Black Pearl for 13 years, well, since I was left on an island thanks to Captain Barbossa and his crew, I wasn’t able to be that captain for ten years,” Jack said. The Flying Dutchman came up beside them. Jack’s eyes widened.

        “Sparrow!” Davy Jones said.

        “Davy Jones, how is it going, saw the Kraken take down the Pearl, was Barbossa on board?” Jack said.

        “You were suppose to be on the Pearl,” Davy Jones said. Jack nodded.

        “Well, ten years ago, there was a mutiny, Captain Barbossa and his crew left me on an island to die, I got off the island and found my way to a port and got this ship,” Jack said.

        “Well, since the whole crew of the Black Pearl went down with the ship, your debt is paid, all the souls on the Pearl is what your soul was worth,” Davy Jones said.

        “Thank you,” Jack said. The Flying Dutchman went back underwater. Jack looked at his hand and saw the black spot gone.

        “I saw my father on the ship,” Will said.

        “I’m sorry, Will,” Elizabeth said.

        “It’s not your fault that he’s on the Flying Dutchman,” Will said.

        “I guess it is my fault, he was the only one who stood against the mutiny, I guess he paid for it,” Jack said.

        “Jack, he probably thought you didn’t deserve it, he was showing that he was a good man,” Will said.

        “Will, there is no hope of getting your father off the Dutchman, from what I was told, once you swear an oath to the Dutchman, there is no way of being free, part of the crew, part of the ship,” Jack said.

        “How do you know this?” Will asked.

        “From a woman named Tia Dalma,” Jack said.

        “She knows all that,” Will asked.

        “She’s gifted,” Jack said.

        “There has got to be a way to get my father off that ship,” Will said.

        “Will, from what Tia Dalma told me, the crew on the ship are not living nor dead, they are stuck in the middle, most of the crew are becoming more fish like, did you see the crew, they used to be like us, the more time they are on the Flying Dutchman, the more they become part of the ship,” Jack said. They went up on deck. Elizabeth went to sleep. She woke up and looked around and saw she was on the Black Pearl.  Will came down below deck and came up to her and hugged her.

        “Beckett is coming, the ships are ready, I need you to get on the Empress,” Will said.

        “What,” Elizabeth said.

        “You are Captain of the Empress, you need to be on your ship,” Will said.

        “Will, I want to fight,” Elizabeth said.

        “I know, but I want you to be safe, okay, if they sink the Pearl, who is going to lead the others, you are the Pirate King, we need you somewhere safe, I need you safe,” Will said. Elizabeth looked at him and hugged him.

        “I will go on the Empress on one condition, that you come back to me so we can get married,” Elizabeth said. Will smiled and kissed her.

        “I promise,” Will said.

        “I want to spend the rest of my life with you and I want you by my side for always, be careful, help Jack and the Pearl, plus if the Endeavor is destroyed, the armada might retreat,” Elizabeth said. She hugged him. They went on deck and she got on a boat to the Empress and got on and looked at Tai Huang.

        “I thought you were going to stay on the Pearl?” Tai Huang said.

        “They need me to lead the second front if needed, since I was voted Pirate King, plus Will wants me somewhere safe,” Elizabeth said.

        “Aye Captain,” Tai Huang said. They stood there watching the Black Pearl head to meet the Flying Dutchman.

        “If the Black Pearl fails,” Tai Huang said.

        “Then we must be ready for battle, the freedom of all pirates depends on this fight,” Elizabeth said.

        “You wanted this battle,” Tai Huang said.

        “I want freedom for all pirates, Tai Huang, and my freedom as well, I’m a wanted person, there is a price on my head,” Elizabeth said.

        “What,” Tai Huang said.

        “Will Turner and I helped Jack Sparrow escape from the Royal Navy, for that we were arrested, Beckett sent Will to find Jack, in return full pardon, but the pardon was for Jack only, my father helped me escape, for that he was sentenced to full service to Beckett, but he knew too much so Beckett had my father killed, this battle is for freedom of all pirates, so no one will have to hide anymore,” Elizabeth said. Tai Huang nodded.

The weather let up and they saw the Dutchman disappear. Elizabeth saw the Black Pearl and she saw the Endeavor heading towards them but then she saw the Flying Dutchman come back out of the water and head for the Pearl. But then she saw something that made her smile. The Dutchman turned and the Black Pearl turned and they went on both sides of the Endeavor and the cannons went off on both ships and the Endeavor was completely destroyed.

        “The armada,” Tai Huang said pointing. She saw the ships turning.

        “I was right, I knew it,” Elizabeth said.

        “We won,” Tai Huang said. The whole crew cheered. All the pirate lords and crew cheered.

        “Let’s go,” Elizabeth said. They sailed up to the Black Pearl and Dutchman. She looked and saw Will on the Pearl. He saw her and he smiled and swung over to the Empress and they hugged.

        “How did you get the Dutchman on our side?” Elizabeth asked. The Dutchman came up on the other side of the Empress. Will pointed and Elizabeth turned and saw Barbossa.

        “Barbossa defeated Davy Jones and is the new captain of the Dutchman, while Jack is captain of the Pearl,” Will said. Elizabeth looked and saw Jack and Mr. Gibbs. Elizabeth handed over the piece of eight to Tai Huang.

        “You are captain now, Tai Huang,” Elizabeth said. He bowed and shook her hand. Elizabeth and Will swung over to the Black Pearl. Jack married them on the deck and they sailed off. Will and Elizabeth went down below and went to sleep.

Elizabeth woke up and looked around and saw she was below deck of the Pearl. She got up and went up on deck and saw everyone. She went over to Jack.

        “We are waiting for the armada,” Jack said. She grabbed Jack and pulled him down below.

        “What,” Jack said.

        “What’s the plan, Jack,” Elizabeth said.

        “Get me on the Flying Dutchman, I will get to the heart somehow and stab it and be captain of the Dutchman and get the Dutchman on the good side and destroy the Endeavor,” Jack said.

        “Trade you for Will,” Elizabeth said.

        “All Will wanted was a way to free his father, I will help him with that,” Jack said.

        “His father doesn’t want him to come save him,” Elizabeth said.

        “You talked to Bill,” Jack said.

        “When I was held on the Flying Dutchman, in the cell, was Bootstrap, he said that Will won’t pick him because if he does, he loses me, he won’t pick him, but he is dead set of freeing his father,” Elizabeth said.

After the armada showed up, they went to the sand for parley. Barbossa, Elizabeth, and Jack stood before Will, Beckett and Davy Jones. They exchanged Jack for Will and headed back to the Pearl. They got on board.

        “Get ready for battle,” Elizabeth said.

        “Do what she says!” Barbossa said.

        “Barbossa, marry us,” Will said. Barbossa married them and they headed for battle as did the Dutchman. In the middle of the battle, they saw Jack and Jones fighting aboard the Dutchman. Will swung over with Elizabeth behind him and they fought the crew aboard the Dutchman. Davy knocked Jack to the deck. Will fought him and Davy knocked him to the deck. Elizabeth went to fight him. Jack got the chest and opened it and got the heart out and what was left of his sword and stood up. Davy knocked Elizabeth to the floor. He stood over her.

        “Jones!” Jack called. Davy looked and saw Jack standing there holding his heart with a sword with it. Davy turned and stabbed Elizabeth in the shoulder with the sword. Will yelled. He ran at Davy Jones and knocked him on the deck. Jack went to Elizabeth and put his sword in her hand and he looked at her.

        “It’s the only way, Elizabeth,” Jack said. She stabbed the heart. Davy clutched his chest and went overboard. Will went to Elizabeth.

        “Oh no,” Will said. She looked at him.

        “I love you, Will,” Elizabeth said softly before closing her eyes. Will looked at Jack. They saw the crew coming to them and they swung back over to the Pearl as the Dutchman went down. Will stood there. He looked at Jack.

        “Why did you have Elizabeth stab the heart?” Will asked.

        “It was the only way to save her, Will,” Jack said.

        “Now we will be separated for ten years,” Will said. 

        “But you know she’ll free your father,” Jack said.

        “I know but I can spend only one day with her, every ten years,” Will said. The Dutchman came back up. They saw Elizabeth at the wheel.

        “Come on, boys, let’s get Beckett!” Elizabeth said. They came up on both sides of the Endeavor and destroyed it and the armada turned and retreated.  Elizabeth and Will met up on the nearest island.

        “Jack said I can stay with him and the Black Pearl, Barbossa and Jack agreed to be co-captains,” Will said.

        “I will come back to see you when I can,” Elizabeth said. Will kissed her.

        “I love you so much,” Will said.

        “I love you, too,” Elizabeth said. They consummated their marriage. Elizabeth handed him the chest.

        “Keep it safe,” Elizabeth said. Will nodded. They kissed one last time and she made her way back to the Dutchman and it disappeared in a green flash. Will climbed aboard the Pearl with the chest. Jack saw him and the chest.

        “For safe keeping?” Jack asked.

        “Yes,” Will said. Jack listened.

        “Her heart is beating for you,” Jack said.

        “I know,” Will said. He went down below. He sat down and held the chest in his lap. He felt tears roll down his cheeks. Jack came down and saw him.

        “Will,” Jack said. Will wiped the tears away.

        “What,” Will said.

        “She can see you anytime as long as you are out here at sea, she knows you are on the Pearl, you two can see each other whenever possible as long as she doesn’t touch land for ten years,” Jack said.

        “I know, I just want to hold her,” Will said.

        “You are holding her, you are holding her heart in your hands, well, the chest that has her heart,” Jack said.

        “I know,” Will said. He put the chest in a safe place aboard the ship.

A week later, Will had taken the chest and found a safe island and buried it when no one was looking. He got back on the Pearl and went down below. Jack came down with the chest.

        “I saw you burying the chest, but I wasn’t the only one, a spy from the East India Trading Company saw you with the chest, I chased him away and dug up the chest, you can’t bury it on that island,” Jack said.

        “Oh great,” Will said.

        “Someone is still wanting all pirates gone, someone has taken over the East India Trading Company,” Jack said.

        “I have to do something, the chest can’t be kept on the Pearl,” Will said.

        “Jack, Will, the Dutchman is here,” Barbossa said. They came up and saw the Dutchman beside them. Elizabeth and Bill came to the side.

        “Will!” Elizabeth said.

        “I was trying to find a safe spot to bury the chest but someone from the East India Trading Company saw me burying it, Jack saw me burying it and saw the guy and chased him off and brought the chest back to the Pearl,” Will said. Jack swung onto the Dutchman and handed Elizabeth the chest.

        “It would be safer on the Dutchman,” Jack said.

        “Are you sure,” Elizabeth said.

        “The Dutchman can’t be destroyed, the Pearl can, the Dutchman has the ability to go underwater, while no other ship can,” Jack said.

        “He’s right, Elizabeth, the chest will be safer on the Dutchman,” Bill said. Elizabeth looked at Will and nodded.

        “Put it down below and have one of the men guard it,” Elizabeth said. Bill nodded and went down below.

        “We’ll be right back,” Elizabeth said. She sailed the Dutchman away and sailed it under the water. She kept it underwater as Bill snuck up on an island and buried the chest. He snuck back into the water and stayed out of sight and watched where he buried the chest to make sure no one was watching him. He stayed there and saw no one and went back to the Dutchman and Elizabeth brought the Dutchman back up by the Pearl.

        “Okay, the chest is safe on the ship,” Elizabeth said.

She waved to Will and sailed away. She looked at Bill.

        “I’m going down below to take a nap, you are in charge while I’m gone,” Elizabeth said.

        “Yes, captain,” Bill said. She went down below and went to sleep. She opened her eyes and saw she was in her room at the governor’s mansion. Her maid, Eliza, came in with a wedding dress.

        “Eliza,” Elizabeth said.

        “It’s raining outside, let’s get you ready, it’s your wedding day,” Eliza said. Elizabeth smiled and remembered something. She got dressed in a simple dress and ran out the door and ran to the blacksmith shop where she saw Will.

        “Will!” Elizabeth said.

        “Elizabeth, we aren’t suppose to see each other, until the altar,” Will said. She hugged him.

        “Something bad is going to happen, we have to elope quickly!” Elizabeth said.

        “Elizabeth,” Will said.

        “Will, please!” Elizabeth said. They ran up to the mansion and ran to her father’s office.

        “Father,” Elizabeth said.

        “Elizabeth, Will, it’s bad luck to see the bride before the wedding,” Weatherby said.

        “We need to get married now, Father, something bad will happen at the wedding, we need to get married right this second,” Elizabeth said. She sat down and told them everything.

        “I’m not crazy, Father, the East India Trading Company will come and arrest us for assisting Jack Sparrow’s escape, and he’ll want Norrington as well, it will be the beginning of the end for everyone, I don’t want to lose anyone,” Elizabeth said.

        “Harold!” Weatherby said.

        “Yes sir,” Harold said.

        “Get the minister and hurry!” Weatherby said. He bowed and went and got the minister and the minister came in and performed the ceremony with the governor as a witness. Elizabeth and Will were married and she looked at her father.

        “Will and I have to get out of Port Royal immediately, without notice, we just have to disappear, before we are arrested,” Elizabeth said. Weatherby nodded. They got provisions.

        “Okay, you two will sneak off while I have two people pretend to be you at the wedding that was planned,” Weatherby said. Elizabeth nodded and hugged him.

        “I love you, Father, I never want to lose you,” Elizabeth said.

        “I love you, and take care, Will, take care of her,” Weatherby said.

        “I will, sir,” Will said. He and Elizabeth snuck out and put on disguises and got on a ship bound for Tortuga. They arrived and got off and looked around. They saw Jack and Mr. Gibbs and went over to them.

        “Hello, Jack, Mr. Gibbs,” Elizabeth said.

        “William, Elizabeth!” Jack said.

        “Miss Elizabeth, Will, good to see you,” Gibbs said.

        “So, what’s going on,” Will said.

        “Just getting a crew,” Jack said.

        “To pay your debt to Davy Jones, no doubt,” Elizabeth said. Jack and Gibbs looked at her and each other.

        “How did you know about that,” Jack said.

        “I have my ways, just like I know the East India Trading Company will be after all of us,” Elizabeth said.

        “Beckett,” Jack said.

        “You know him?” Elizabeth said.

        “Had a run in, that’s how I got this,” Jack said showing them his arm.

        “Well, we had to quickly get married and disappear from Port Royal before he arrested us, her father helped us,” Will said.

        “Elizabeth Swann,” a voice behind them said. They turned and saw James standing there.

        “It’s Mrs. William Turner now,” Elizabeth said.

        “Oh, so you two got married,” James said.

        “Yes, James, we did,” Elizabeth said.

        “What do you know about the East India Trading Company,” Will said.

        “Beckett,” James said.

        “They are after us, all of us, even you, James, for letting Jack escape,” Elizabeth said.

        “We had to quickly marry and disappear from Port Royal before they got us,” Will said.

        “I bet your father was happy about that,” James said.

        “My father helped us, it was the only way,” Elizabeth said. James laughed.

        “Yeah right,” James said. Elizabeth glared at him.

        “If things continued the way they were going, you and my father would be dead,” Elizabeth said. James looked at her and sat down.

        “What,” James said.

        “Yeah, James, if Beckett caught us, he would have killed my father and you would be dead also,” Elizabeth said. James looked at her.

        “By Beckett,” James said.

        “No, by one of the crew of the Flying Dutchman,” Elizabeth said.

        “The Dutchman,” James said.

        “Let’s go out to the Pearl and I will explain everything to everyone,” Elizabeth said. They all went to the Pearl and sat down and Elizabeth told them the entire story. James sat back and rubbed his face.

        “Oh man,” James said.

        “I’m not crazy and that was something that can’t be made up,” Elizabeth said.

        “Not once that I’ve known you, Elizabeth, have you ever lied to me, if your father believed you, so do I,” James said.

        “We have to fight Beckett,” Will said.

        “Let’s go see Tia Dalma,” Jack said.

        “Otherwise known as Calypso,” Elizabeth said. They got the crew onboard and headed to see Tia Dalma. They walked in and looked around her place.

        “Jack Sparrow,” Tia Dalma said.

        “Tia Dalma,” Jack said.

        “You brought friends,” Tia Dalma said.

        “Yes, meet Will and Elizabeth Turner,” Jack said.

        “Has Jack told you about me,” Tia Dalma said.

        “Yes, he has,” Elizabeth said.

        “Elizabeth has a story to tell you, we believe her, she isn’t crazy,” Jack said. Elizabeth sat down and told her everything. Tia Dalma nodded.

        “It seems someone keeps sending you back in time to redo everything and make sure everything is done good,” Tia Dalma said.

        “My mother appeared to me and said she did it to make sure things are done the right way,” Elizabeth said.

        “It appears you are right, your mother is the force behind the time traveling you have been doing,” Tia Dalma said. Elizabeth looked at Will.

        “But I don’t know what needs to be done this time, she sent me back before Will and I met Jack and did things that way,” Elizabeth said.

        “No one knows but your mother,” Tia Dalma said.

        “Shall we convene the Court,” Jack said.

        “Someone will need to sing the song,” Tia Dalma said.

Jack started singing the song with Gibbs joining in. 

Three days later, they arrived at Shipwreck Cove and went to the meeting place and sat down and waited.
