Silver came up to see you and Jim. He was surprised that you two finished cleaning the deck in no time.
"Well, thank heavens for little miracles! Up here for an hour and you kept sweeping one piece!" Silver said, as he threw the leftovers through the galaxy.
"Two hours Silver... Two hours, not one..." You said, not looking at Silver and continued to sweep.
"Hey uh... What you did for us earlier.... Thanks!" Jim added.
Silver let out a little smile, as he said "Didn't your paps ever teach you to pick your fights a bit more carefully?"
You frowned, and you continued to clean along with Jim.
"Your paps not the teaching sort, ey?" Silver added, as he made a questioning face.
"No.. And he's more of the... ...Taking off and... Never coming back sort..." Jim commented, as he continued sweeping.
Silver turned to you, gesturing to tell your story.
"..My father died when I was a little kid. They were on a trip when pirates hijacked the ship they were in." You added.
"Ohh... Sorry lad, lass..." Silver said, as he put his arms on you and Jim's shoulder.
"Heh, no big deal... ...I'm doing just fine..." Jim said, as he leaned forward to look at the magnificent view of the galaxy.
"Well, since the captain has put you in my charge, like it or not, I'm gonna keep you
Two out of trouble!"
"What!??" Jim said, confused
"From now on I'm not letting you out of me sight!" Silver said
"But, you can't--" you were interrupted by Silver saying "You want so much eat, sleep, or scratch your bum!"
"Ugh... Fine!" You said, looking at him angrily.
"Don't do us any favors!" Jim added
"Oh you can be sure of that smart lad... You can be sure of that..." Silver said, as he let out a laugh.
The next day, you woke up because of Morph turning into a rooster and making the sound of it.
You groaned and got out off your hammock.
You woke Jim up, but he didn't wanna get up. You figured out a way to wake him up. You yelled "JIM!!! WE'RE IN TREASURE PLANET!! WAKE UP!!!"
"Treasure Planet?! Treasure Planet!?" Jim said, as he got out off bed.
You laughed, making Jim look at you in an. Angry way.
"Funny...." He said.
"Thank you!"
"Why'd you wake me up when it's only 6 in the morning!?" He groaned.
"Haven't you forgot? We're gonna do chores with Silver! You don't want him to get mad, would you?" You said.
"Ugh..." He groaned.
"Let's go!" You said, as you pulled Jim.
You got up to the deck, and saw Silver there.
"Ahh! Good morning Jimbo, (N/N)! Now hurry up! We've got some chores to do!" He said.
The first chores you guys did was scrapping off shell like rocks underneath the ship. You remembered telling yourself "only a few more to go..." When there are thousands of it.
The second thing you did was peeling off potato peelings. You do admit, you're quite good whenever it comes to cooking.
You weren't really good at tying knots. You remembered Jim having to leave his line at the boy scout, and having to tie your scarf during your Girl scout. It was sweet of him, but you remembered being embarrass because all of the girls knew how to tie the scarf, and you were the only one who didn't.
After that, Silver taught you how to cook chicken drumsticks. You remembered Accidently spilling flour at Jim. Causing him to grab confectioner sugar, and dipping his finger in it, and wiped it on your face.
You two had a little food fight. It was fun until Silver came...
After that, You, Jim and Silver went out in the galaxy, riding a small boat. Jim was really good at riding it. You in the other hand, was careful because you remembered losing your balance during the solar surfing contest, and Jim had to save you.
You got back to the ship with laughter.
You, Jim and Silver tied the boat to a small piece of wood.
You layed down the boat with your arms crossed, while Jim sat really really close to you. He put one hand on your shoulder, asking "Had fun?"
You nodded while you were smiling.
"Well, if my town saw a teenager like you two, they will be bowing in the streets!" Silver said, as he sat down on the boat, making it shake a little.
"Bowing in the streets!" Morph repeated while he turned into John Silver, and sat in the air.
"I don't know... They weren't exactly singing our phrases when we left home..." Jim said, while smirking, as he added "But I'm gonna change all of that..."
"Is that so? Well... Things don't go as planned all the time..." Silver said.
"Not this time... Right (Y/N)?" Jim said confidently, as he put his hands behind his head and glanced over to you with one eyebrow up.
"Y...yeah!" You said.
Silver smiled, as he got his robot leg onto the wooden seat attached on the boat. He noticed that the screw was loose. He tried to tighten it up, but he failed. Morph turned into a little screw driver as Silver said "Oh! Thank you Morphy!"
"So uh... What uh... What happened to that anyway?" Jim asked, looking at his robot half.
"You gotta give up a few things... ...chasing a dream..." He said.
"Was it worth it?" Jim asked, curiously.
Silver sat beside you and Jim, as he put his arms around you and Jim's shoulder, as he said "I'm hoping it is Jimbo! I'm most surely am..."
