A/N: Hey y'all! I am so sorry for not updating in such a long time! I was working on my new story, and I had school, but no fear, I am on summer break now! And you know what that means! More updates! Yay! So, I'll stop rambling and let you read the chapter now… No-you better put that heavy-looking rock down! I cannot write if I have been rendered unconscious! ^_^

Elizabeth breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, they were on their way.

After almost countless thanks to Tia Dalma, and an awkward and slightly annoying boat trip back to the docks, Elizabeth had never been so glad to set sail on the Pearl. Jack was at the ship's head, scrutinizing the map carefully, and looking extremely pleased with himself. Jessica, after a heated debate and more than enough attitude towards Jack, had been assigned the task of steering the ship. Will, upon returning to the Pearl, had insisted that he have a job as well. Elizabeth, however, instructed that he lay down, which he reluctantly did.

Upon hearing the beginnings of another argument between Jack and Jessica, Elizabeth decided to retreat to Will's room in order to check on him. (And escape the possible impending apocalypse.)

She walked down the hallway, and, upon reaching the room, opened the door as quietly as she could, in case he had fallen asleep.

"Will?" she ventured softly, peering into the room, and sincerely hoping she didn't disturb him.

Elizabeth was met by a pleasant surprise when Will turned his head to face her, meeting her eyes with the smile she had sorely missed. Grinning, she took a seat next to him on the bed, moving the pillows and helping him sit up. He looked at her gratefully as he rested a hand on top of hers. Her heart fluttered at the gesture.

"How are you feeling?" Elizabeth had been dying to talk to him ever since they had left Tia's, but she didn't really feel comfortable with Jessica around. There was something about her…

"Much better, thanks to you and Jack. And Tia. Still a little unsteady, though." He finished.

Elizabeth was so happy to hear his voice, for real, without it being marred by pain or fever that she nearly forgot to pay attention to his answer.

"That's good," she said, her mind wandering.

"Elizabeth?" he asked quietly.

His soft tone caught her attention.

"Yes? What is it?" she slid closer, reaching out a hand and beginning to caress his cheek.

"I'm sorry," he said, looking down sheepishly.

This surprised her. Sorry?

"Will, you have nothing to be sorry for."

"I made you worry, and I'm sorry," he said, his face looking as angelic as a child.

Elizabeth laughed softly. He had almost died-he wasn't even out of the woods yet-and he was still worrying about her!

"What?" he asked, a grin forming on his face.

"Nothing, nothing," Elizabeth quickly tried to hide her laughter, but the endeavor

seemed pointless.

"You're laughing at me!" he exclaimed, playing hurt.

"What? Not I'm not! I'm just-"

Unexpectedly, Will's hand reached up to her face, gently pulling her into what soon became a passionate kiss. Elizabeth wanted to live forever in that moment. She felt so safe and warm- protected even- in Will's embrace.

Suddenly, Jack and Jessica burst through the door, her hand roughly grabbing his ear while his yanked on her long hair. Apparently, they were having some sort of fight.

The sight broke Will and Elizabeth out of their sweet moment together, and they turned expectantly, their expression halfway between amusement and annoyance.

Jack and Jessica began speaking, and it was painfully obvious that they were arguing.

"Stop being an idiot!" Jessica screamed, "We go west!"

"You STUPID girl!" Jack yelled, "You know nothing about the fine art of captaining a ship, and therefore you can't possibly know the most logical way to go! We sail east!"

"West!"

"East!"

"West!"

"East!"

"We-"

"East! Ha!"

If Elizabeth didn't do something now, she feared that they would go on like this forever.

"Stop!" she cried out, so loudly that even Will was startled, "Give me the map."

Jack looked embarrassed as he unenthusiastically handed her the map

She took it in her hands, and positioned it so that Will could look at it, too. All the while, Jack and Jessica eagerly waited to hear whose answer would be correct.

After what seemed like a thousand lifetimes, Will and Elizabeth answered in unison.

"We go north."
