Sailed The Stars With You

Fine soldier

- You having a little trouble there?
Asked Jim as he and Silver were hoisted the long bout back inside the ship.

- Get away from me. Oh Jimbo if I could manner a skiff like that when I was your age, they'd be bowing in the steers when I walked by.

Silver said while tying his side of the bout. While Jim was tying his. Silver sat down when he was done.

- Bowing the streets.
Said Morph transforming into a little version of Silver.

- I dunno, they weren't really singing my praises when I left home. But I'm gonna change that.

By this time you were around the corner but decided to listen in a little before making yourself to their presents.

- Are ya now?
Silver asked as Jim leans back.

- Uhh... I got some plans. Gonna make people see me a little different.
They were quiet for a few minutes.

- Oh sometimes plans go astray.
Said Silver. You clearly knew what he meant by that. Feeling a little sad. You remembered when Silver told you how it happened.

- Not this time.
Said Jim. You decided that now was the time to make yourself precent.

- So did ya two have fun?

- Ah we sure did lassie.
Silver hissed sudenlly moving his hand to his robotic leg. Trying to twist one of the bolts in it. Morph transformed into a  wrench.

- Uh thank you Morphy.

- If you umm... don't mind me asking... How did that happen?

- You give a few things chasing a dream.
You answered for Silver. Jim looked at you. You looked at him with no emissions on your face.

- Was it worth it?

- I'm hoping it is Jimbo. I most surely am.
You all went quiet until something hit the ship. Making you fly where Silver and Jim where. But you didn't fly towards the bout instead you flew past it. Before you could fly off the ship Jim caught you. He pulled you into the bout.

- You okay?
Jim asked you and you nodded for a response while catching your breath.You all ran to the deck to see what was happening.

- What the devil.
Said Silver as he looked around.
Meteor's were flying past the ship an orange color on the space.

- Good heavens the star Pelusa it's gone supernova!
Doctor Doppler said while looking at the exploding star.

- Evasive action, Mr. Turnbuckle!

- Aye-aye captain.

- All hands, fasten your lifelines!
Arrow yeald all of the crew went to fasten your lifelines.

- Mr. Arrow secure those sail's!

- Secure all sail's. Reef them down men!
The crew started to go up the ratlines to secure the sail's.

Everyone was securing the sail's when all of a suden Silver falls off. You and Jim yelled his name and catch him before it was too late and hoist him back up.

- Thanks lady's.

A big meteor was coming towards the ship. The three of you get ready to be crashed into it but you never did.

- Captain the star!

One of the crew members yelled.

- It's deviling into a black hole.
Doctor Doppler states.

- We're being pulled in.
A crew members struggling to keep their tentacles on the oar.

- No you don't, you...
Captain Amelia takes the oar as the crew member couldn't keep his grab on it. A wave hits the ship sending almost everyone back a little.

- Blast these waves! They're so deucedly erratic!

- No Captain they're not erratic at all. They're be one more in precisely 47.2 seconds. Followed by the biggest magilla of them all!

- Of course! Brilliant doctor! We'll ride that last magilla out of here.

- All sail's secure Captain!
Arrow yells.

- Good man now release them immediately!

- Aye captain. You heard her men unfurl those sales!
Complains came from the crew but they did what was told. Arrow claimed after them. Jim was about to go but Captain Amelia stopped him.

- Mr. Hawkins make sure all lifelines are secured good and tight!

- Aye- aye captain.
You went after him helping him with the lifelines.

- Lifelines secure Captain!
You yelled as Jim did the last one.

- Very good!

The second last wave came you heard someone yell and saw Mr. Arrow going over board luckily he had his lifeline. When all of a suden he fell to the hole. Someone had cutten his lifeline and you knew exactly who it was.

- Captain the last wave! Here it comes!
Doctor Doppler yelled.

- hold on to your lifelines gents. it's going to be a bumpy ride!
You all hold on for dier life. Jim holding you as close to him as possible. And Silver securing you two with his arms to the mast.

The last explosion came.

Lia's pov

Cheering came from the crew you opened your eyes and saw that you had made it. You looked around for a while before your eyes meet Jim's. You didn't realize until now how close you two were. Your back against the mast so both of your chest touched. He looked at you and it seemed like the whole world around you two had stopped.

Silver's pov

As the cheering went on I couldn't help but notice. That Jim and Lia staring at each other like they wore in love but didn't have the guts to say it to one another.

I cleared me throat. And they broke apart heading towards the Captain.

- Well I must congratulate you Mr. Silver. It seems your cabin boy did a bang-up job  with those lifelines. All hands accounted for Mr. Arrow?

- Mr. Arrow?

- I'm afraid Mr. Arrow has been lost.
Scroop said giving Arrows hat to Amelia.

- His lifeline was not secured.
Everyone turned to look at Jim and you.

- It was secured your lying! We made sure that all of them were!
You yelled.

- We checked them all.
Jim said running towards the lifelines.

- I.. I did I checked them all. They were secure. I swear.
Amelia looked at him angry making you think that she making it look like it his fault.

Jim put his head down feeling like he'd done something wrong.
Lia and Silver looked at Scroop who only smirked at the two of you. You both were mad at him.

- Mr. Arrow was a... fine soldier. Finer than most of us could ever hope to be. But he knew the risks as we do all. Resume your post. We carry On.
Amelia said before locking herself into her office.
Lia looked at Jim. He ran away. You were about go after him but Silver stopped you.

- Let him be alone for ay while.
Lia didn't say anything and just ran to the opposite direction climbing the rat lines to the wery top. Lia sat down as she felt tears come from her eyes for the first time in a long time.
