The Cyborg's Melody

Chapter One: The Meeting

It was a new starting of the Benboe Inn after the journey to Treasure Planet, discovering Flint's treasure, the secret on how he would steal gold without being seen. Hiking off into a ship full of wanted pirates. It was a new restarting, fix things up! Jim hasn't been doing many things though, he hadn't been caught by the police. He just helped his mother at the Benboe Inn. Sure, it's been one year later. Nothing has happened...

Jim was on his normal walk like usual. A little 'Hello' there, another wave other there and everyone was happy. As he walked passed the little market shop, he waved to the owner as the owner waved back to him.

As he walked, he had both hands in his pockets and looked down to his feet. Of course, he knew where he was going! He just payed more attention to his feet then what was in front of him.

He then felt something bump into him and he instantly looked up. He saw a young lady, possibly 16 years old, she woar a cloak and a hood. The shadow from the hood covered most of her face. When she bumped into Jim, she had dropped all of her groceries.

Jim bent down and helped her pick up everything, "It's alright I'll pick it up, I did cost you your food." She didn't listen to him and kept picking up her things as Jim did also. "It's alright. Food is food. I could by more." She said, without expression. As she got back up her hood had flown off, letting Jim get a good look at her face.

Light green eyes, with thick eyelashes. Light, long brown, curly hair. So very beautiful and shined when the sun would face it. Beautiful lips, in the color of a light pink ribbon. Jim wouldn't stop staring at her, for she got irritated, "Uh...You can stop looking at my face now..."

Jim shook his head, snapping out of that moment. "Oh I'm so sorry." He apologized. The girl giggled and gave a slight smile, "It's alright."

Jim started to mumble his words, he didn't even know what he was saying, "I-I-I uh I'm s-s-sorry for your food."

"Boy, you sure do like to apologize! What is it, like a routine to try to get me to like you?"

"N-no no! That's not what I'm doing! I'm just uh- very nervous..That's all..." Jim replied, still trying to figure out what to say. "O-kay." The girl said as she raised her eyebrow slowly.

Jim sighed. The young girl pulled out her hand and smiled as Jim suddenly looked confused, "I'll save you the trouble. I'm Melody." Jim smiled back and shook her hand. "I'm Hawkins Jimmy!" Jim said as he saw her giggle and realized what the mistake he had made, "No! I'm Jimmy Hawkinnys- No!" Jim got confused with his words and sighed. He tried again, "I'm Jim Hawkins."

"Pleasure to meet you Jim Hawkins." Melody then grabbed her hood and pulled it towards her face, "Now, I hope you don't mind but I have to go, dinner is quite soon."

Jim had a thought that sprung him like crazy, "Why don't you come over for supper?" Melody looked at him with a sad look, "I don't know. I don't want to let this food go to waist. I hope you understand."

"It's okay, you can bring your food and we can cook it." Jim suggested. Melody gave him a look, and sighed, "I'm sorry, but I can't." She then walked off as Jim watched. She turned around quickly to face him, still walking, "I'm very sorry! I hope we see each other again!" She yelled out.

Jim sighed with sadness, and whispered to himself, "Yeah...Me too."

It was the next day, and Jim was on his usual walk. Again.

As he walked he looked everywhere, watching everyone, exploring everything. They he saw a figure, sitting on a stool, holding a paint brush painting. It was Melody, she still woar her cape, but left her hood off.

Jim ran towards her, "Melody!"

Melody looked up and stopped what she was doing. She saw Jim and smiled, "Lookie here! It's Tumbler Boy!"

Jim laguhed slightly to Melody's little joke. "Are you busy later?" Jim asked her. Melody thought for a moment, she did have plans but she didn't want to turn him down again...

"I'm so sorry, but yes I am busy tonight. Some other night maybe?" Melody bit her bottom lip, ready to hear Jim's reaction.

Jim looked disappointed, "Oh. Well, it's okay. Another night maybe..." Jim turned around the other direction, and began to walk. Melody looked down for a moment and looked back at Jim, "Wait!"

Jim stopped for a moment, and turned around to her direction slowly. "Maybe a walk around the Moonlight sounds good?" She asked, hesitating to what he might say.

"Sounds wonderful.

She smiled as they both walked around under the stars and the shining Moon. They both spoke about many things, how their life started out, the worst that had happened in their lives, and the most wonderfuls that happened also. Jim went on and on about his adventure to Treasure Planet. Melody seemed really interest and surprised at the journeys Jim has faced. She then began a story about when she sailed across the Universe and back.
