A/N - Hi there! Well it's been ages since I've written and I apologise yet again. I promise to update regularly.

So some things I want to clear up.
TLM 2 released in 2000 and Melody was 12, TP released in 2002 and Jim was 15, so in 2002 Melody would be 14.
Thus I conclude that there'd be only a one year age difference between the two.
Atleast that's how it is in my head canon, these two are my disney OTP so NO BASHING.

In this story Jim is 18 and Melodys 17.
End rant.
A pat on the back if you actually read through all that, on with the story!

His life was perfect and a new adventure with Silver was what he had been wanting for years. But then she showed up, sending him flying into a whirlwind of emotions he couldn't describe. So much for having things under control.

"I can think of a thousand ways To get good and lost beyond these hopeless days"

Jim Hawkins smiled, the wind playing with his hair and whipping it across his handsome features. Standing on the top deck of his ship, he watched the cluster of stars whiz by as he let out a loud chuckle. He was on cloud nine and everything was finally perfect.

His life had finally played out right the way he had wanted it to, graduating out of the interstellar academy with the post of a cadet he had finally made his mother proud. Sarah Hawkins had been ecstatic as she had pulled her sun into a bone crushing embrace and had insisted on a celebration. With the Benbow Inn up and running better than it had ever before, everyone gathered to celebrate Jim's achievement.
Dilbert and Amelia Doppler along with their four little ones included the many guests. Even Ben was having an amazing time helping around the Inn.
Yeah, everything was definetly perfect.

But Jim knew something was missing and the only person who could take away that empty feeling was Silver. He missed Silver alot, he had been the closest thing Jim ever had to a dad. So when after a year Silver appeared out of nowhere and at his doorstep the boy had never been that happy.

After that day, Silver spent his time with Jim and Sarah Hawkins just taking the much needed break he was yearning for. But one night Silver told Jim the real reason he had come to him a month back. He told him that he had unfinished business on another planet and that he only trusted Jim enough to help him with it. Ofcourse the boy obliged,
how could he ever pass up a chance to go on an adventure with Silver?

So here he was with Silver and a few other new crew members on a whole new adventure.

"What ye doin' up dere Jimbo?" a loud jolly voice called out to him. "Haha! I could never get tired of this Silver! This is the life!" Jim replied ecstatically. "You don't say," Silver chuckled, "Get down now, we'll be there in half an hour."

On hearing this Hawkins furrowed his eyebrows and let out a huff. "Fine," he muttered as he climbed down detachedly and squatted himself down next to Silver.
The brunette let out a loud sigh, he had heard that earth was nothing out of the ordinary. Infact he had read that it was somewhat primitive compared to Montressor, not something he was looking forward to at all. The earthlings didn't even know of any world besides their own.
But Silver told him that his journey required visiting that planet so he had agreed. Maybe they could get this whole 'unfinished business' over with quick and head out to explore unexplored galaxies. Breaking out of his reverie, he curiously eyed Silver before he decided to speak up.

"You know, you still haven't filled me in on this unfinished business of yours."

"Well Jimbo.." Silver started.
"What, you don't trust me?" Jim asked, a tinge of hurt evident in his voice.

"Don't ye dare say somethin' as stupid as that, if ye really want to know then I'll tell ye... Although you gotta promise me one thing."
"Anything."
"Not a word of this to anyone, ye hear?"
"My lips are sealed," Jim said earnestly.

Silver looked at the boy, a growing smile on his face. He took a deep breath and plopped himself down next to the cadet, looking out at the sky with a faraway look in his eyes.

"They say..." he started, "They say that on Saturn's moon Titan, the oceans have been frozen over for centuries and in the deep there lies a legendary pearl. A pearl that has the power to grant you one wish, any wish. With that kind of power well... I could have all the riches in the world, I would have the power to undo a few mistakes I've made." he finished with a grimace.

Jim raised an eyebrow slightly, it sounded ludicrous really. But then again after his adventure in treasure planet he found nothing impossible anymore.
Slowly digesting the story a thought suddenly struck him.
"Wait, why are we going to earth then?" confusion engulfing him.

"Ah, you didn't lemme finish lad. Well ye see in order to get into the cave where the pearl is we need a few things. One of em' being on earth."

"Oh yeah? What could you possibly get from that undeveloped planet?", "A mermaid, a royal mermaid," Silver said. "What the hell is a mermaid?" Jim asked confused again.

"Mermaids... they're half women and half fish. Beautiful beyond belief and with voices that will have you lost in a trance.", "Wow," the boy muttered, his eyes going wide.

"The king of the mermaids, Triton is an old friend of mine and he owes me from a long time ago. We made a deal that he would lend me one of his daughters for this journey if I ever decided that I would go for it."

"What about the other stuff?" Jim further inquired.

"Ah well my other old friend is going to help us with all that, after we're done on earth we'll go to planet Sirabius and plan our journey out."

Jim smiled, this was going to be quite an adventure. "Aye aye" he smiled, his excitement suddenly grown to a manifold. "Ayite Jimbo, now we best get ready... fifteen minutes to earth," Silver said ruffling Jim's hair. "Aye!" Jim cried out happily as he maneuvered the ship to it's next destination... earth.
