style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>
style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>Captain Jack Sparrow looked toward the town
of Port Royal. His ship had needed repairs and this was the closest
port. He frowned as he saw a regiment of troops approaching his
ship. The frown deepened as he saw who was leading the regiment.
style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>“Well Commodore, good morning to you.” He
said sarcastically.
style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>Commodore Norrington looked around at the
crew scurrying about the decks of the Black Pearl.
style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>“What do we owe the unexpected pleasure of
your presence Mr. Sparrow?” he asked. Jack jumped down to stand next to
him. He raised a finger.
style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>“It’s Captain Sparrow if you please.”
Norrington rolled his eyes.
style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>“Get on with it. What are you doing in
Port Royal?”
style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>“My ship is in need of repairs, and since
this was the closest port. I figured I’d drop in for a visit.”
style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>Norrington was silent for a moment. He
looked up at the Black Pearl. But noticed it wasn’t flying the skull and
cross bones flag. In fact, it flew no flag at all.
style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>“Get your ship repaired and leave. I
can trust that your crew will be on its best behavior?”
style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>“Like they would behave any other way
Commodore.” Jack asked with a smirk.
style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>“See that there isn’t any disturbances.
Understood?”
style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>“Savvy mate.” Jack watched the troops
depart the dock. As he turned back to the Pearl, he noticed a young boy
looking at him. He had dark brown hair and chocolate brown eyes.
style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>“And who might you be mate?”
style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>“Are you really Captain Jack Sparrow?” he
asked.
style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>“Yes I am. Who’s askin’?”
style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>“My mum has told me stories about you.”
style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>“And who might your mum be boy?” The
young boy eyed up Jack.
style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>“Her name is….”
style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>“JJ!” he turned to see Will running towards
him.
style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>“Uncle Will!” He turned and went
running into Will’s arms. He hugged him and placed him back on the
ground.
style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>
style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>“Will Turner. My friend.” Jack said
extending his hand. Will shook Jack’s hand.
style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>“Jack Sparrow. My friend.” They smiled
at each other.
style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>“Who’s the young chap? And why is he
calling you ‘Uncle Will’?” Jack asked.
style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>“Oh um, he’s the son of Elizabeth’s cousin.”
style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>“Elizabeth has a cousin?” Jack asked. A
smile played on his lips. “What’s the boy’s name?”
style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>“My name is J…”
style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>“JJ, run along home, your mum and Aunt
Elizabeth are waiting for you.”
style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>“Oh alright.” He said with a sigh.
“Goodbye Captain.” He said waving to Jack.
They watched JJ run up the docks into town.
style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>“So what brings you to Port Royal Jack?”
style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>“Me ship needs repairs. And I figured I
would pay you a visit.”
style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>“How long are you going to be here?”
Jack looked at his friend with a raised eyebrow.
style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>“Why all the questions Will? Are you hiding
something?”
style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>“No, don’t be silly.”
style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>“Good. So how is Miss Swann?”
style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>“You mean my wife?”
style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>“I missed the wedding? Damn. Let’s
celebrate tonight. I’ll bring the rum.”
Will laughed and shook his head.
style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>“How about you have dinner with us tonight?”
style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>“Sounds wonderful. You’ll have to bring
me since I don’t know where you live.” They began to walk up the
decks. Jack nudged Will. “You aren’t living in the governor’s
mansion are ye?”
style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>Will smiled. “Not on your life.”
