A new world.
Setting off from home.
Jim Hawkins and his mother were doing their best at their new inn, but sarah, who had tried all those years really hard to fit in, considered to return to the earth were she and her husband came from.
She thought it over and over and decited to talk with Jim about it. Jim who didn't had anything precious on the situation, he was in for years, agreed almost directly. It had been too long since he saw differend places. In fact, he couldn't wait to sail away from to another planet.
Although it was quite handy her son agreed on the plan, Sarah kept having a guilty feeling. Maybe she was worried about his safety, or she just realised that Jim hadn't been happy in those years at the inn. Happily they had hardly any people to miss when they were gone. They said goodbye to Jim's excaptain Amelia and docter Doppler and set off to the ship they borrowed.
"Don't you worry mum, it will be awsome."Said Jim beaming to his mother.
"I guess, I just have to trust you. She sighed and smiled. I'm glad one of us has enough experience for both of us. But Jim you must understand that you can't fly around on a board on earth."
"I understand, but do you think, I bet I can find a secret place to prectice." Said Jim with his eyes closed, leaning against the back of the the carriage that brought them to the harbour.
"I'm serious Jim, promise me, you won't be reckless."
"Yeah, sure."Grunned Jim. It was not a long distand, before Jim knew it, he was once again experiencing the great feeling of going somewhere unknown. The captain was stern looking fellow. He had a face like a walrus and had little feet. His accent was very strong and Jim had trouble to understand him. His mother on the other hand, was talking to him as if he hadn't a accent at all. Jim suspected, it was because she had surved the weirdest aliens in the inn for years. It didn't matter, the only thing Jim needed to know were the words 'no cleaning or cooking duty.'
The journy went on and on and Jim got really bored of watching planets flashing by, he was almost happy when they almost hit one and the crew was in a uproar. He wanted to to surf around the ship, now that the earth was not closing in yet. At night he slipt out of his room and went to the basement and slipt out of the ship through the gate for the longboats and set off to open air. The feeling was like water after a week in the dessert. Jim had a compas with him so that he could find the ship if he last direction, so he could go as far as he wanted. The univers was pitch black and full of strange coloured planets and stars. He followed the milky way in high speed. He turned and twisted, then he thought it was time to had back to get some sleep. He turned and hadded for the ship, he sped up and was just in time to a explosion on the left to avoid it. Rocks were flying in all directions and one flew right to the ship. Jim saw the ship turn to avoid it, but the rock hit the bottom of it. Jim Saw the ship lose speed and a alarm was audible. He sped to to the ship and climbed inside. Maybe I can sneak into my room before everyone up to see that I was gone. He thought. When he went to his room he met many crewman running around to fix the problem. Happily they were too busy to mind him. He was two seconds in his room, when his mother stormed in. "Is everything alright? I heard there is something wrong with the ship!" Before Jim could answer, the captain came in.
"Do not panic madam. He said, or so Jim thought that was it. The ship has been hit by a small rock, the damage is, therefore not big. Stay where you are, unless we tell you otherwise."
"We understand, would you tell us if everything is alright?"Answered Sarah.
"I will madam." He said and left.
"What did he said?" Asked Jim looking at the door.
"It's not so bad and he will tell us if everything is fine."
"Oh, right good night mum." Jim went to his bad and watched his mother leave the room. "Good night Jim."
Jim woke up with a start, he hadn't been informed about the state of the ship. He got up and got dressed as soon as possible. When he met his mother on deck, staring in the distands, he felt relieved. When Sarah noticed his presence she smile at him. "We're almost there. She said softly. Only one more day flying."
"When we are there, then what?"
"I guess we have to stay at an inn untill I find a house for us." She answered with a bit of guiltyness in her voice. Jim went to stand next to her.
"What if I look for a house for my own, when we are there. It will be much cheaper that way and I'm old enough to take care of myself, don't you think? When he was saying this, Sarah looked very worried. I know you are always worried. He continued. That's why I want to take care of myself."
"But Jim, you know nothing about the world you will be living in."
"I know but I want to try it, if I stay low, long enough to understand the people there, it will be fine, I guess. Please, let me try it!"
"Alright, but promise my you will come to me if something goes wrong." Sighed Sarah.
Finally they reached earth, it was a planet with many colours, by nicht time they could clearly see the harbour they landed softly in the water in quite a distant from it. Sarah had told Jim that ships aren't supposed to fly on earth, so this ship will always depart and arrive when everyone is sleeping. Far behind the harbour he could see high buildings and behind that, little montains. The air was deep dark when they got on land. Sarah searched the streets, looking for a inn with Jim in her wake.
"Here we are. She suddenly said to him. Here is still a light burning." When they knocked, the door went almost immidiatly open.
"Ah, there never late those planettravelers. Said the old woman and let them in. She was alreaddy nicht gown and looked a bit sleepy. Let's see, do you want one room for two persons or one each?"
Sarah looked at her son to let him decide. "Is it possible to get a two persons room with seperated beds?" Asked Jim.
"Surtainly. Said the woman, for how many nights?"
"Could we pay weekly? We have to search for a proper home first." Said Sarah.
"No problem, you can pay me tomorrow, if you like."
"Thank you." Said Sarah and she and Jim followed the woman upstairs.
