Ok now this is my first songfic. If you like this (please like it…for me…) have a look at some of my other story's.

Sitting in a pub on night, jims father, Leland, notices many things about a certain singer at the pub. This famous singer is not only a famous captain as well but is also the new captain of the Legacy. And he looks like some one from Leland's past.

I don't own the song "I'm still here" or anything relating to treasure planet but I do own a HUGE cat collection.

Chapter 1---Memories**

Leland shivered as he walked along the docks. 'It was a pretty cold night for this time of year' Leland mused to himself 'almost as cold as the nights back on mon…'Leland stopped walking. He actually shocked himself by thinking of his old life back on montrosser. He hung his head in shame at the thought of his family. He had it all, a loving wife, a nice house, and a son. Leland thought of his son, he barely knew his own kid, he was hardly home, he couldn't even remember what his boy looked like. He sighed and lifted his head to look at the ships docking and leaving. He had it all yet he throw it away, now as he thought back at it he couldn't even remember why he left. He shuddered as a cool breeze swept into his coat. He scanned the area for shelter and was rewarded with a costly looking bar down the road. He hurried down to it and stood at the entrance for a moment, he snorted when he saw that the pub had an admission fee. He had money on him but wasn't sure whether he was willing to pay for a bit of warmth. "here for the kid?" a ruff voice behind him spoke jerking him back to reality. Leland spun around to see the doorman standing by him "what kid?" Leland asked Suspicily. "I dunno. Some famous singer and captain kid, pretty impressive actually, only 17 and he's a fully licensed captain." The other male replied. Leland was taken back "17?" "yup, started at 15 at the college and graduated 3 years early." Leland, captain himself, was very impressed "this I gotta see." He said, paying for entry.

To his disappointment as he walked in the introductions where already done and the kid was already on stage, sitting in the middle with a guitar. Leland found a seat by the bar, sat down, and had a good look at the teen up on stage. He had a pretty good built body, dark brown hair cut in an undercut style with a plait at the back, and eyes that look blue one moment the turn brown or grey the next. The teen looked familiar but Leland couldn't place where he had seen the youth before. Without any more delays the boy started playing the opening cords to his song. Leland froze at the music. The tune was the same as the lullaby he used to play for Jim when he was a small child on his harmonica. But how did this boy know the tune. Unless… Leland gave himself a small shake and brought his attention back to the boy on stage as the youth started to sing

I am a question to the world, not an answer to be heard

Or a moment that's held to your arms

and what do you think you ever say

I won't listen anyway you will know me

and I'll never be what you want, me to be

The boy stared at the floor as he continued the song

And what do you think you'd understand

I'm a boy no, I'm a man

you can take me and throw me away

and how can you learn what's never shown

yeah, you stand here on your own

They don't know me, cause I'm not here

The youth closed his eyes as if trying to stop the people watching him for some reason

And I want a moment to be real

wanna touch things I don't feel

wanna hold on and feel I belong

and how can the world want me to change

they're the one's that stay the same

they don't know me, cause I'm not here

He reopened his eyes, yet they seemed to glisten in the light

And you see the things they'll never see

all you wanted I could be

now you know me and I'm not afraid

and I wanted to tell you who I am

can you help me be a man

they cant break me, as long as I know who I am

And I want a moment to be real

wanna touch things I don't feel

wanna hold on and feel I belong

and how can the world want me to change

they're the one's that stay the same

they can't see me, but I'm still here

The boy looked up and looked around the audience, for a second his eyes seem to linger on Leland

They can't tell me who to be

cause, I'm not what they see

yeah, the world is still sleeping

while I keep on dreaming from me

and their word's are just whispers of lies that I'll never believe...

at that moment tears where silently falling down his face, unnoticed by him, as he continued the song normally

And I want a moment to be real

wanna touch things that I don't feel

wanna hold on and feel I belong

and how can you say I never change

they're the one's that stay the same

they don't know me but I'm still here

I'm the one, cause I'm still here

I'm still here

I'm still here

I'm still here

With that he finished the song, gave a small bow and left the stage. Leland applauded as well but his mind was else where. All his Suspicions where confirmed by the announcer cheering into the mike "there you go ladies and gentle men, the captain of the L.S Legacy and new found fame singer, JIM HAWKINS"
