Disclaimer: I don't own Pirates of the Caribbean. Damn it!

Hello all! I'm back! I'd never leave you guys alone for that long! This is about 10 years later, ok? Oh, and I'm going by the script, so sorry if I miss some details or if it doesn't make sense. We're picking up right where we left off! But before we do that, I want to thank you all, especially Lady Electricity. Her wonderful story inspired me to write Hyper Obsession. So, if you'll all check that out:

-A touch of what? by: Lady Electricity

Thank you all, and I can't wait to hear from you again! Note: This is my version of it, so some things aren't exactly the way the movie did it.

London

Tori walked among the crowd towards the courthouse. Scanning through the people, she spotted members of her crew here and there. A light mist lay over London as the people gathered to watch the trial. At a random inn, a fire warmed the little room.

"Oh god! Jack, I love you so much!" Maisie panted as Jack rolled off and landed in the bed next to her. He smiled as he wrapped his arms around her, bringing her bare body into his. She snuggled up to him.

"I love you too, Mai." Jack whispered, planting a soft kiss on her tattoo "My little sparrow." He cooed against ther skin. They had finally gotten married not too long ago. It was a small wedding, consisting of Teague (who walked Maisie down the aisle), Tori and her crew, Erin and Will with their kids, and Flik and Norry. And yes, she wore a white dress. Jack cleaned up too...well, as much as he would allow, anyway. Maisie smiled and reached up, pulling Jack into a deep kiss. A knock at the door parted them.

"Jackie! Maisie, dear! The trial's in a hour!" Teauge called.

"Bugger…" Jack muttered against her lips. "C'mon dearie!" Jack leapt up, pulling her along. Jack went and found his pants while Maisie slipped on her shift. She fussed with the ties of the corset.

"Nyrrrr. How to people do these contraptions?"

"Let me," Jack said, standing behind her, still shirtless. He laced it up masterfully. She gasped as he tugged the laces tight.

"Jack!"

"Sorry, luv. I can only imagine how terrible this must be for you." He finished tightening but kept his hands on her back. "But I promise, I'll get you out of it soon enough," He whispered in her ear, making her giggle. Maisie reached out and grabbed the dress and pulled it over her head, making Jack complain.

"Get dressed," She smiled, slapping his bare chest.

Tori slipped in between two men and looked down from the balcony. Gibbs and Maisie were brought before the judge.

"Now appearing before the court, the notorious and infamous pirates, brigands, pillagers, and highwaymen, Captain Jack and Maisie Sparrow!" The sacks were pulled off their heads.

"I told you: the name is Gibbs! Joshamee Gibbs! How many times-"

"-Do you really think I'm married to this guy? He's so old! He's old enough to be my grandpa!" Maisie complained. Of course, all four of them were in on the plan. Gibbs and Maisie would be 'tried' by the 'judge'. Tori would cause some sort of commotion so that they could slip out, unseen. The crowd hissed and insulted them.

"Hear ye, hear ye! Commencing now the sessions of the peace, and oyer and terminer. Presiding now over these trials, the highly esteemed magistrate of South York, all rise and attend for the right honorable Justice Smith!" The Bailiff called. The Judge stepped forward with a long, powdered wig. He took his seat and flashed a familiar grin.

"All this...for me?" Jack smiled from under the wig and makeup.

"Jack." Gibbs started, but the jailor smacked him.

"Fft-fft-fft. Not necessary." Jack waved him off. "Excellent reaction time, though. You were saying?" He turned to Gibbs.

"Jack...Sparrow is not my name. My name is Joshamee Gibbs."

"He's a bit old for you, isn't he, darling?" Jack asked, nodding to Maisie.

"That's what I said! I'm not married to this grandpa!"

"And my name isn't Sparrow!" Gibbs complained.

"Is that so? It says Jack Sparrow here." Jack looked down to his paper.

"I told 'em, I'm not Jack Sparrow, nor ever claimed to be. I was making inquiries to the whereabouts of Jack Sparrow." Gibbs explained. "Who I'd learned had come to London. And who I would be happy to identify to the court if it would help my case." He said in a threatening tone.

"I think that would be a poor defense. Unless you want to be bludgeoned like a harp seal. And I couldn't bear to see anything like that happening to someone like you, darling." He winked at Maisie. He turned to the jury, "The prisoners claim to be innocent of being Jack and Maisie Sparrow. How do you find?"

"No trial? But-" The foreman started before Jack cut him off.

"Foreman! Your finding! Guilty?"

"Guilty verdict means they'll hang..."

"That's not fair!" Maisie shouted, stealing Gibbs's line.

"Not favorable, luv. To both of you. But fair is not the same as favorable, eh? You have been found guilty, and so are sentenced to hang by the tongue until dead. Neck. I meant to say neck."

The crowd cheered. Maisie and Gibbs shot them an evil glare.

"What say ye? What? What is that?" Jack asked the crowd. "You wish me to set these prisoners free?"

The crew nodded no and began shouting "hang them!" and the like.

"No! I cannot in good conscience set these prisoners free. Not while you and I are consigned to suffer in this life, through endless days of toil and torment. The release of hanging is, in this case, undeserved. It would be the equivalent of setting them free. And so..." Jack said. The crowd looked confused. "Joshamee Gibbs and what's your name?"

"Rose Worthington." Maisie lied.

"Right. Joshamee Gibbs and Rose Worthington, the crime of which you have been found guilty of is of being innocent of being Jack and Maisie Sparrow. Given this mitigating circumstance, you will not go to your reward. Rather, I hereby commute you sentence and order that you be imprisoned for the remainder of your miserable, moribund, mutton chopped life-" Jack said before Maisie interrupted him.

"I can't go! I'm pregnant!" She lied. This wasn't part of the plan, so Jack looked at her with concern in his eyes. The crowd murmured confusedly.

"Well then. Means shall be arranged to transport you to the Tower of London, Mr. Gibbs. As for you, darling, you shall be a maid here in the courthouse without pay." Jack concluded. Gibbs and Maisie were taken away. The crowd broke out in "boos" and hissing.

"Oh, stop! Stop! Order! Order, you hooligans! Restore order!" He yelled at them. Someone chucked a shoe at him. He banged his gavel. "Court is in recess!" He said and quickly made his exit. He pulled off the wig and tore off the robe. Opening a door on his right, he tossed the stuff to the real Justice Smith.

"Thanks, mate. C'mon, Mai." Jack held out a hand to Maisie, who was hiding in the room. She took it and they hurried down to the prison carriage.

"Tori's covering our escape. Her crew's dressed as the prison guards." Maisie explained.

"Good to know. Up yer get." Jack said. They cut in front of the line and the 'prison guard' shoved them into the carriage with Gibbs.

"Now we're both off to prison." Gibbs said.

"Not to worry. I've paid off the driver and Tori's got our escape covered. In ten minutes, we'll be outside of Londontown, horses waiting. Tonight we make for the coast. Then it's just a matter of finding a ship." Jack explained.

"Tori's got one." Maisie said.

"Well, there we go then." Jack smiled. He opened his coat to pull out a flask, taking a sip and handing it to Maisie. She shook her head and pushed it towards Gibbs.

"What happened, Gibbs?" Jack asked. "I thought you had another gig."

"Aye, but I always listened like a thief for news of the Black Pearl. No one's seen hide nor hair of it, where it might be docked or next make port. And then I hear a rumor: Jack Sparrow's in London."

"Hey, what about me?" Maisie complained.

"We know you're here, luv." Jack kissed her cheek. "Am not!" He said, responding to Gibbs.

"But, that's what I heard. Jack Sparrow's in London, with a ship and looking for a crew. Fact is, you're signing men up tonight, pub called the Captain's Daughter." Gibbs said.

"Am not."

"I thought it a bit odd. But then...you've never been the most predictable of sorts."

"You can say that again." Maisie smiled.

"Truth is, Jack and Maisie Sparrow arrived in town this morning to rescue one Joshamee Gibbs and one 'Rose Worthington' from two appointments with the gallows. You're alive, so that's a start."

"Like I said. Unpredictable."

"So. There's another Jack, sullying our good name?" Maisie asked.

"An imposter." Gibbs nodded.

"Aye, but an imposter with a ship." Jack said.

"We've got a ship." Maisie said.

"But it's too tiny and overcrowded. Old too. I'm nervous whenever I'm on it. Never sure when it'll suddenly sink." Jack said. Maisie shot him a glare.

"And in need of a crew." Gibbs added.

"That could be our ticket."

"What about you, Jack? Last I heard, you got married. Congratulations. Also, you were hell-bent to find the Fountain of Youth. Any luck?" Gibbs asked. Jack pulled out the map.

"Circumstances arose, ensued, and forced a compelling insight regarding discretion and valor..."

"Meaning: you gave up." Gibbs said.

"Not true! I am just as bent as ever! Hellishly so! I'll taste those waters, Gibbs, mark my words."

"There's the Jack I know!" Gibbs smiled.

"Me too." Maisie snuggled into Jack.

"And I'll not have it said, there's a point on the map Captain Sparrow and his beautiful Maiden Maisie never found-"

All of a sudden, the carriage stopped. Jack frowned and tucked the map away. "Short trip." He stated. The doors opened and he stepped out only to come face to face with the King's Royal Guards, muskets aimed.

"Shit..." Maisie muttered, noticing the dozens of redcoats. She leaned out and looked at the driver, who was being tossed a pouch of money. "You shallow little douchebag..." She muttered. Gibbs began to step out of the carriage but stopped himself.

"All part of the plan, yes?" He asked. Jack was about to say something when a guard smacked him in the back of the head with a musket. Maisie pushed Gibbs out of the way and caught him.

"No..." He groaned. The guards came up and grabbed him, carting him off.

"Hey! Get back here!" Maisie leapt out of the carriage only to be grabbed by a guard. "Let go of me! That's my husband! I demand you to take me to him now!" She screamed, flailing her arms. The guard sighed and led her behind Jack.

Well, there it is! The very first chapter of On Hyperly Obsessed Tides! Hope you all enjoyed it! I apologize once again for any confusion. Since I have no visual aid, it might be a little off. Sorry! Oh, and Will, Erin, Flik and Norry'll be back soon! And Tori, of course!
