y/n pov

             the old cyborg smiled a bit before he started to cook something else. i could tell jim was skeptical about silver but i didn't say anything. "ah, who be a humble cyborg to argue with a cap'n?" he questioned before jim walked around him, grabbing a purple fruit that was similar to a plum. "yeah.. y'know... these purps, they're kinda like the ones back home... on montressor. ya ever been there?" jim questioned and looked at the cyborg who's eyebrow raised for a moment before he went back to his normal expression. "ah, can't say i have, jimbo" silver responded as he cut a few odd looking vegetables before jim took a bite out of the purple fruit. "come to think of it, just before i left, i met this old guy who was, uh... he was kind of looking for a cyborg buddy of his." jim said as he hopped up on the counter while eating the fruit. "is that so?" silver asked, the information not fazing him in the slightest. "yeah. what was that old salamander's name? oh, yeah. bones. billy bones?" the brunette said, venom lacing his voice as he glared at the cyborg.

         "bones? bones? ...eh, 'tain't ringin' any bells. must've been a different cyborg. there's a slew of cyborgs roamin' this port." silver said as he kept chopping odd shaped food. jim sighed heavily before hopping off the counter while i simply leaned against the wall in the back, watching jim glare down silver who didn't even seem to notice. silver sighed a bit "lassie. come help me with this." the cyborg said as i nodded silently and walked over to silver, out of the corner of my eye i saw jim glare at me, i only rolled my eyes in response.

            after ten to fifteen minutes i was finished chopping food with silver and went to help jim finish the dishes since they kept getting piled up in front of the poor boy. i sighed a bit before walking over and sitting down beside him but keeping my distance at a good 5 feet or so. i grabbed a cloth and a small stack of the dishes before starting to clean them in silence. i could tell he felt uneasy around me and i didn't exactly want to make enemies on the first day of the voyage so i kept my distance, considering i didn't care much for him either.

        within twenty minutes me and jim had finished the dishes and were now up on the deck watching the rest of the launch per silvers command. the artificial gravity hadn't kicked in yet so the crew, including doppler and jim had started to raise above the ground, i looked over and saw the dog man flailing around while mr. arrow and the captain stood calmly, amelia called to one of the crew mates to turn the artificial gravity back on, which they did but it only resulted in doppler getting slammed back onto the ground and the gollum and the captain landing gracefully back on the ground. i felt myself drop as well, landing securely on my feet and i assumed jim did too because i didn't hear any loud noises. i heard the captain say something to doppler before he flew back and smashed into a wall, i giggled a bit before getting thrown back myself, i groaned a bit as i stood up, placing a hand on the back of head as i winced slightly "dammit.." i muttered to myself as i sat up before standing once again. i leaned heavily against the mast with a small huff of annoyance.

           jim looked over at me when he heard my groan in pain and annoyance. "are you alright miss y/l/n?" he asked softly as i only nodded silently in response. "y-yeah.. i'm fine" i stuttered and cursed at myself as he pinched the skin on my hand. i huffed a bit before i gasped in astonishment, i looked out at the passing sky as i quickly ran to the rim of the boat, leaning over the edge as i watched all the odd animals flying past with a slight smile grazing past my lips as he laughed out of pure joy, but my laughter was cut short when i heard silver call out to me and jim "jimbo, lassie! i have a few friends i'd like ya to meet" he said with a lopsided grin as jim turned around with interest sparkling in his eyes. "mr. mop and mrs. bucket and her sister, ms. duster" he said while chucking the bucket and mop at jim which he caught before throwing the large duster at me, i fumbled a bit but caught my duster as i huffed in annoyance. "get to it." silver said before walking off, i groaned a bit before running a hand through my hair before walking towards where i was ordered to start dusting. while jim started to mop the deck. a hour or so past and the sun had started to set, while jim was moping somebody ran into him, i heard him grunt in annoyance before turning to the guy "aye, watch where you're going twirp" the large one eyed gollum said before walking away, jim blew a strand of hair out of his eyes. he mumbled something under his breath before i heard something start to crawl down the mast as i looked up, seeing a spider looking alien with bright yellow eyes before he glared down at jim. "cabin boys should learn to mind their own business" the spider looking man hissed at jim while i only glared at him "why? do you have something to hide, bright eyes?" jim retorted with a glare towards the yellow eyed alien. "maybe your ears don't work so well." he hissed in aggravation before jim turned his head away, scrunching his nose up in disgust "ugh! too bad my nose works just fine." he replied as the odd looking alien growled in response, picking jim up before slamming him against one of the masts, making me gasp quietly in surprise.
