I have much to many ideas… *sigh* it's a curse, any who this is my addition to Treasure Planet, unfortunately at the moment it's the very last to update on my list so it'll take a very long time to write up, but I'm excited for this one which is why I'm posting the first chapter now ^-^ please comment and Review to tell me if this is just a bad idea -_- or any critique to help me out :D
There once was a young girl, who fell in love with a sailor. He was brave, courageous and in his own significant way, dangerous. He stole the hearts of poor lassies like this young girl by the barrel full. Naturally the boy kept them with him wherever he travelled and one day he travelled to a small desert planet with a little Inn that the ship he was working on stopped at.
As fate would have it, he would not be getting back on that ship.
It was true, he had become accustom to the spaceport floozies, throwing themselves at all the sailors, especially him he noticed, but to him, she was different, to him she had a smile like sunshine, skin fair as the expensive silks that he transported and eyes as deep and blue and intense as the skies he craved so much.
But she was fragile like glass, she would never admit to such a thing, in the life she lived, a waitress in her father's inn, a family business that had lasted since the first of her family had settled there over a hundred years in the past, she had to be cautious, strong and able to handle the rough dirty throngs of spacers that came in and out of that inn.
It went without a question that she was a strong girl, but not to the innocent fancies of a young man in love. To them she was malleable, breakable even, and to this spacer boy she was the most fragile beautiful creature he had ever encountered. He told her such stories, stories of gentle beasts floating through the etherium, the cargo he carried all over the galaxies and the most frightening if not the most interesting, the cut-throat pirates.
He said they once came across a whole party of the scoundrels, but they fought them off, he showed her a scar he had gotten from the blade of their captain. But before the young sailor could show this captain what for, the band of pirates high tailed it out of there.
He invited her, out on to the ship that is, promised her a world of change if she would just grab his hand and leave with him. They could travel the stars and be apart of the world she had always watched at a distance and secretly longed to be apart of.
But her father would be alone, and she loved her father, more than all the stars in the galaxy, and she would sacrifice being around them for him even though her father wanted for nothing more than her to be happy.
She was a cute girl, very much unlike the ones in the village, they were frivolous little things who'd wanted to go on grand adventures and find their handsome princes at the end of the etherium.
But this was how all the little girls were, oh, this little girl dreamed of these dashing princes as well, but, well, she thought herself rather plain, imagined that her prince was just a figment and the adventures she would share with him had vanished with time as well, just another star she would never be able to touch.
That was until the spacers came and with them, this boy, he longed for just as much as she, but her home was the only life she had known and though her desires were strong, her bond to the desert planet pulled her tight to its surface, never relinquishing its grip. There was a chain coiled around her small limbs, a chain that went unnoticed by the boy, this boy who was a man and yearned for her company as well as the promise of adventure.
But that's getting a bit ahead.
After all, this is her story.
