"First mate Jim Hawkins." A tall brown haired boy said to a mirror. "No, too relaxed, too casual." He stood up straight again. "First mate James Hawkins, Sir!"
Something started crawling up his back. "MORPH!" He yelled turning arouns to look at his back in the mirror. The jelly worm crawling up his back turned into a pink Plasma blob.
"JIMMY!" A shrill voice yelled.
"B.E.N!" Jim yelled back grabbing his pack. "Shut up!"
"Shutting up!" Jim stormed down the stairs his mother insisted on going with him.
"Oh honey, I'm going to miss you so much!" She wrapped her arms around him.
"Mom!" He hissed.
"Oh sorry dear didn't mean to embarrass you!" She said straightens his shirt. "Now do what the captain tells you, don't get drunk, and play nice with the other sailors!" Sarah Hawkins said waving from the transport that was taking her back to montresant. "HONEY I'LL MISS YOU!" Jim walked away as fast as possible to the appropriate dock.
"R.L.S Devotion." Jim muttered looking around for the schooner, as he found it, a girl in a long over coat greeted him.
"James Hawkins?" She asked.
"Jim." He automatically corrected.
"Oh, I see, Jim. I'm Adara second mate so I'll be working with you a lot." She smiled.
"Where's the captain?"
"Sleeping, Drinking, whoring, any number of vices."
"Where are our quarters?"
"Hmm, down we go!" Adara slid down the steep ladder and moved quickly around the hull of the ship into a small hall way of rooms. "Second to the left, mines across from it, I'm almost always up so if you need anything just knock!" She popped in to her room and came out with out her coat on.
"So when do we cast off?"
"Near as noon as the captain gets here. I've sailed with him before. Horrible captain, relies on the mates more then anything. So you up to commanding a ship Hawkins?"
"Guess so." Jim reached back to tug on his braid finding only air when he reached for it.
Adara turned around sharply. "There are no guesses on a ship, Hawkins, only yes and no." Her mood change freaked Jim out. "Is that clear."
Forgetting completely that he was a higher rank then her Jim nodded meekly.
"Good." She smiled and ran her fingers through her hair. "Washed it today, the worst part of being in space, can't wash your hair." Jim looked her over, brown hair, medium build, blue eyes, the tan skin all sailors had from exposure to the sun. "See something ya like?" She joked.
"Huh?"
"The rigorous exception of my body." Adara smiled.
"Oh no, how old are you?"
"Me, about 17 and your self."
"18."
"You were the kid on the legacy weren't you? Three years ago."
"Yeah."
"Full scholarship into the academy, I envy you that. But why a job on this ship, our cargo's just dried fish. You could be on a much better ship no question."
"I dunno, first offer I got." Jim shrugged. "How'd you get on here?"
"My father got me the job."
"Oh, daddy paid some one to give you the job?"
"No, Daddy wanted his first mate to have a job after we had to sell our schooner to pay bills." Another mood swing, this time to incredibly pissed off person.
"Sorry."
Adara turned around and stalked up to the deck. Jim followed watching the crew as he familiarized him self with the surroundings. The captain stumbled aboard and smacked Adara soundly on the rear.
"Captain!" She snapped "How many times have I told you!"
"Shush hun." One of the deck hands looked up.
"Cap'n!" He said loudly. "some one said something about a raid on the stores, shouldn't you check?"
"Good idea…"
"Dominic."
"Yeah!" The captain walked down and Jim started to give cast off orders.
Disclaimer: I own Adara, the captain and Dominic. Disney owns the rest.
Author's notes: Okay I wanted to voyage into a new Fandom (No pun intended) and I have always loved Treasure Island and so when Treasure Planet came out I loved it and so I did this! BTW: I figured he went to some sort of academy for sailing and that took three years to graduate.
