Jenna nodded and watched her mother leave. Once she had left, tears started to trip from her eyes. When a knock on the door sounded, Alaura quickly wiped her face and called to whoever was at the door, "Come in!"

"Laura!" Elizabeth said coming in. "Will and I have set the date for our wedding! You're invited!"
She stopped when she noticed Alaura's eyes were red and puffy.
"You've been crying. What's wrong?"

"That's...wonderful!" Alaura tried to sound cheery when all she wanted to do was break down and cry. "When's the wedding? I can't wait to come."
Sighing, she answered Lizzy's question, "Mother and father are engaging me to Lord Beckett. They say I have to marry him and I have no choice. I might even have to have kids in the next year!"

Elizabeth wrapped her arms around Alaura.
"Why Beckett? What about James?"

"My mother says that he's a disgrace for letting Sparrow get away," Alaura said, deciding no longer to hold back the tears. She let them roll down her face. "Mother says Beckett has a high status. She wants to expand the family name or something like that. She doesn't care about love. Isn't that horrible? How can you live your life without falling in love?"

Elizabeth held her friend as she cried.
"I'm so sorry", she said. "James did let Jack Sparrow go."
She gave Alaura one more hug.
"I have to go now. The wedding's this week if you still want to come."

"Why did he let Sparrow go though?" Alaura asked in confusion. She wished that James had stuck to his senses and hadn't let the criminal go.
She hugged Lizzy back and said, "Of course I still want to come! By the way, you're invited to my wedding too. I'm not quite sure when it is though. I'm meeting Beckett for dinner tonight. Wish me luck!"

*Timeskip*
"Care to join me for dinner?" Beckett asked Alaura.
He held out his arm for her to take.

"Yes, of course," Alaura said, taking his arm. She had changed into a nice dress and had done her hair to perfection. She hoped he was everything her mother wanted her to be. She didn't exactly dislike Beckett, but she was almost positive he didn't love her. She waited to see where he would bring her.

"I've recieved a letter from the king this afternoon", Beckett said. "There are some people in this town that I must arrest."
"Really?" Emily asked. "And who might they be?"
"Elizabeth Swann, William Turner, and James Norrington."
