Pirates of the Caribbean: More from Beyond the World
Disclaimer: Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue and the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true... somewhere over the rainbow I would own Pirates of the Caribbean. To my greatest regret, this is not somewhere over the rainbow.
Marry-age Forever
A/N: TO ALL MY FAITHFUL REVIEWERS: THANK YOU FOR STAYING WITH ME! I LOVE YOU ALL! Well, this it! The end of the adventure!
The Pearl was finally on its way, close to Port Royal. Jack felt sad at the end of the adventure. It had been fun, and he had promised Elizabeth that he would visit often, and would definitely be there when Will came back in nine years. Ana Maria was getting off at Tortuga, their next stop after Port Royal.
He watched her walk across the deck. Her hair swayed slightly and she looked worried. Suddenly, looking at her, Jack realized that he could never let her go.
"Ana!" he called.
"What?"
"That's enough,"
"What the bloody hell are you talking about?" she asked.
"You know full well. I've had enough nonsense out of you," and he kissed her. She kissed him right back and they were actually rollin around on the deck, when a voice overhead interrupted.
"Jack! Ana!" Elizabeth cried.
"What?" Jack asked innocently, looking up.
Elizabeth smiled. "Do you want to make that official?" she asked.
"What do you mean?"
"Like marry-age, Jack."
"God forbid!" they both cried.
"Do you want to move this down below deck, love?" Jack asked.
"Why not?" Ana asked.
NINE YEARS LATER
Will was home for Elizabeth and their son. On the sunlit beach of Port Royal, Elizabeth slipped a small bottle into his hand, and watched as drank it and the scar on his chest vanished.
"Glad to see you back, whelp," Jack smirked. They were all standing on the deck of the Pearl.
"Jack, what will we all do?" Elizabeth asked. "I just thought, the world isn't really a place for us… immortal. We'll never find a home."
Jack tapped his forehead with a knowing look. "I thought it all out, love," he said, opening the now-familiar chart. "There are many more seas than the ones in this world. Or on this chart. Savvy?"
"You mean, we'll wander the seas of other worlds forever?" Elizabeth asked.
"No objections, I hope?"
"None at all!" Elizabeth laughed, hugging Jack.
"Maybe we'll pay a visit back here once every few centuries," Jack mused, "be the phantom ship around the Caribbean."
"Well, Jack," Will remarked. "Looks like Ana is the only woman for you now. No objections to that either, I hope?"
Ana and Jack shook their heads.
"Jack, you do like drinks all around… so what do you say to a marry-age?"
To everyone's surprise, Jack nodded.
"Hey, he hasn't proposed to me yet!" Ana cried.
"Oh, alright," Jack agreed. He fell on his knees dramatically before Ana. "Will you honor me with your hand in marriage?" he asked, equally dramatically.
"I will, Jack Sparrow,"
"Captain, Captain Jack Sparrow," Jack corrected. "Wait a minute, I'm the captain. So who's going to marry us?"
"I used to be a captain," Will remarked.
"Won't do… I know! I'll make you the captain of the Pearl for as long as it takes to marry us!"
"Come on, let's get it over with," Ana said. "I've got the feeling I'm going to regret this…"
"I'll make sure you won't," Jack said.
"Now, by the powers invested in me…" Will started, trailing off. "Oh, damn, I can't remember it! Anyways, Jack – excuse be, Captain Jack Sparrow, do you take this woman to be your dearly beloved wife?"
"Better than nothing," Jack answered. Ana slapped him. "Alright, alright, I do!"
"Ana Maria, do you take this man to be your dearly beloved husband?"
"What would happen if I said I didn't?" she asked.
"Just don't," Will said. "Because I don't know."
"Fine, I do,"
Gibbs produced two rings from the Black Pearl's treasure hoard and Will proclaimed them husband and wife.
"You may now kiss the bride," Will announced.
"Can I kiss the husband?" Ana asked.
"Don't make this more difficult than it already is, love. Just do it," Jack told her, and they kissed.
