Chapter One

            I was never the fortunate person.  I was never the one everyone wanted to be with.  No one really knew me, and if anyone ever had they eventually forgot about me or left me behind.  I was a lost girl in a wide universe trying to make her way by chasing a dream.  I was determined that what I was told was a story was real.  I was living proof.  My name is Christine Flint and my goal was set to find a treasure that everyone thought was just a story.

            Everyone was busy running to their ship or just trying to make their way through a giant spaceport.  I was looking for a particular ship, but it wasn't a problem for me to find it.  I had practically lived at this spaceport since I was eight.  I'd been on so many voyages, I lost track of the exact number.  It was the only thing I had left in life.  With both my parents dead, the only purpose I had was to find a long, lost planet from a legend.  But I was special.  I had a lead that no one else had. 

            On the ship R.L.S. Legacy, the crew was already busy packing and getting ready for the trip ahead.  I was early, so I began to get to work.  The rough-looking crew stared at me funny, probably wandering who I was and how I got here.  I wasn't surprised.  I was small, blonde, 15-year-old human girl.  Everyone else was a brutish, rough and pirate-looking.  But that wasn't a problem for me and I didn't care what they thought either.  I was used to not fitting in and being looked at funny.  I never fit in anywhere.  Ever.

            An hour or so passed when the last passengers arrived.  Though two people caught my eye out of the whole crowd, a boy and what looked like a guy in a spacesuit.  They began to speak with Mr. Arrow (the captain's first mate), when I came to realize that the man in the suit was Doctor Doppler, the financier of our voyage.

            "I'd like to introduce you to someone; Jim Hawkins.  You see, Jim is the one who found the treasure m-" he began but was cut-off by Captain Amelia.

            "Dr., I'd like a word with you in my stateroom," she interrupted.  They all headed to the captain's room.  My heart felt like it was going to melt.  I knew what Dr. Doppler meant to say.  After all my searching, the map was finally found.  I was relieved to know that I'd finally be on my way to Treasure Planet.
