Jim
Today we were going to go embark the Legacy, our ship. Sadie had her hair up in a pony tail and baggy pants like me "Don't you dare to do a fool of yourself shorty" She said as she ruffled my hair, she's 25 years old and since we were kids she thinks she's the boss of me just because she's 10 cm taller than and older
"I'm going to be taller than you asteroid monster" I mock her
"I'd like to see you try maggot"
"Kids calm down, now, we need to find our ship" Delbert says.
We search for awhile till we gave up to ask somebody
"Thanks sir!" Sadie says.
She's wasn't always the good judgment and respect rules kinda of girl, she used to be quite wild cause dad wasn't around much and when he was she always had arguments with him. She used to date all these stupid dudes, she even got into drugs because of one of them...
When she was 15 I did a solar surfer, I wanted one, but wouldn't buy me one and she wouldn't buy Sadie one because she knew Sadie would have me ride it with her, so I did one.
She taught me how to ride it cause her boyfriend at the time had one and she knew. Mom was getting sick of her attitude, even though she isn't a wild child, it was good she changed.
"This is it kids!" Delbert said, waking me from my thoughts
"Uau..." We exclaim at the same time
"The R SS Legacy..." Sadie states "It's beautiful"
We climb aboard everybody is preparing for the launch I walk backwards and step on something... or rather someone
An alien that talks weird fart noises
"Jim, let me handle this" Delbert says
"No I'll handle pfffff prrrrrrrrftttt"
The alien makes pleasant noises and goes his way I look at my sister and Delbert, he has a proud expression on his face
"Glad the lesson worked well" He says
"Well I did get an A on that flatula exam in senior year"
We approach a tall rock alien
"Is everything ship ship captain?" Delbert asks
"Ah you must be doctor Doopler, yes everything is ship ship, but I'm not the Captain. The captain is her"
He looks up and we see a female cat alien she jumps from a rope perfectly on the deck
We look astonish "Stop drooling over her shorty" My sister whispers and chuckles
"Shut up"
"Everything is just perfect Mr Arrow"
"Thank you captain" He says taking off his hat in respect
"Doctor Doopler I presume" She says after a moment of looking at us and then shakes Delbert's hand
"Yes"
"I'm captain Amelia Smollett and you two are?"
Delbert pulls us to face her "These are Sadie and Jim Hawkins they found the ma-"
She shuts his mouth "Can I have a word in my chambers?"
Sadie
The captain seems angry
"Do you know how idiotic of you it is to speak of a map in front of this crew?" She shouts
"What's the matter?" Jim says... oh brother... doesn't he get it?
"The captain doesn't trust this crew you two idiots" I state
"Yes miss Hawkins that's right, so if you don't matter I'd like to see the map"
Both of them look reluctant but I smack my brother in the back of his head "You heard her"
He throws her the gold ball and Captain Amelia goes up to her cabin and locks the map there
"In the future both of you will address me as captain or ma'am understood?"
"Yes" I say
"Mr Hawkins..."
"Yes ma'am"
"Good, now Miss Hawkins..."
"Sadie ma'am"
"Yes Sadie, you probably have some reservations about being in this ship, I hope you can take care of yourself, I made arrangements for you to have a small place to sleep next to my chambers, for your own protection"
"Thank you ma'am" I was afraid of being in this ship, I know how to fight and all but when the numbers are different it's more difficult and it's not like Jim is that strong"
"Now mister Arrow please escort Mr and Miss Hawkins to the galley where they'll be working for our cook Mister Silver"
"WHAT?"
"Stop being a drama queen"
Mr Arrow escorts us to the galley, Jim and Delbert were complaining all the way down till Mr Arrow demanded them to stop talking bad about the captain
We hear someone whistling a old song.
"Mr Silver" Mr Arrow calls
A large figure appears and eye glows
"A cyborg..." Jim whispers.
Jim
A cyborg, Sadie seems to be controlling herself but I know she thought the same thing as me...
"Oh Mr Arrow if I knew ya were bringing such gents to my galley I had tuck in me shirt"
"Mr Silver may I introduce to you our voyage financier Dr Doopler?"
"Well hi"
"Nice outfit there doctor" The cyborg says scanning Delbert with his laser eye
"Well, yes thank you, and this young lad and lass are Jim and Sadie Hawkins" He says pulling us in front of him
"Sorry there lass didn't see ya there"
"It's okay" My sister says
"Well nice to meet ya two, Jimbo" He says reaching his hand for a shake, but his fingers are dangerous tools "Sorry there" He changes it for fingers I don't shake it and instead glare at him
"Nice to meet you Mr Silver" My sister says shaking his hand with no fear I glare at her and she glares back "Forgive my idiotic little brother"
"It's ok lass, Jimbo don't be too cold to this hardware" He says going to cut vegetables and other ingredients "They've been hard getting used to but they do come in mighty handy sometimes" He stirs the bowl then tastes it before pouring into three bowls and handing them us "Have a taste of my bonzabeast stew"
"Robust" Doopler says
"It's delicious Mr Silver" Sadie says surprise
"Thanks lass, old family recipe"
An eye pops to surface of Delbert's stew and he gets startled and I get gross out
"In fact there's part of the old family" Silver laughs picks the eye and throws it in the hair to catch it in his mouth but Sadie's hand beats him to the punch and she eats it
"Ursid's eyes aren't bad, you may loose the other eye during the voyage pal" Don't tell me she's flirting with that old fat cyborg, I glare at her and she asks "What?"
He just looks at her and starts laughing "I ain't nothing if I ain't a kidder lass, glad to see someone's got a sense of humour" He pats me on the back "Come on Jimbo try it"
I stare at my spoon but then it develops a face and it starts flying before turning into a pink blob "What's that?" I ask
"A morph, pick up a book at school shorty" She mocks me as the blob turns into a straw and then eats the stew on my bowl
"So that's were ya was hiding, the lass is right, it's morphy rescued it a few years back, the little guy took a shine on me" The blob flies to him and cuddles with his face
"Well Doctor Doopler would you like to watch the launch"
"YES!"
We start climbing after them but Mr Arrow stops us "Mr Silver, the Hawkins siblings are put under your orders make sure to put the cabin helpers to work, and Mr Silver make sure there isn't any inappropriate behavior towards Miss Hawkins"
"But Mr Arrow sir..."
"CAPTAIN'S ORDERS"
They leave. "So the captain's put you under my orders? Well who am I but a humble cyborg to argue with the capt'"
"I guess so." I start walking to a barrel of purps and take a bite of one "You know these purps are like the ones back home in Montressor, ever been there"
He keeps cutting the ingredients, unaffected by my words "Can't say I have Jimbo"
"In fact I've met this old salamander looking for a cyborg friend of his... what was his name... oh yeah Billy Bones"
"Bones, can't say I've heard of him, must have been a different cyborg"
"Jim" my sister sighs as she sits on the counter next to where Silver was"Stop being racist, not all cyborgs know each other or look alike, sorry for his dumb head, he's missing a few screws you know Mr Silver."
He just laughs and then the buzzer rings "Why don't ya two go watch the launch there'll be plenty of work waiting when ya come back"
We go upstairs.
Sadie
My brother pulls me closer so he can whisper "Why the hell were you flirting with him?" He's angry, he's so stupid
"I wasn't flirting idiot, it's called subtly and showing that you are oblivious and don't think they are after you know what! But now that might as well be all lost with your goddamn interrogatory!"
"So you were just throwing a curved one?"
"Why are you doubting me?" Doesn't he trust his own sister?
"Because of your track record with ex-boyfriends... bad boys that I've punch to protect you"
"And I thank you but you didn't need to do that I can take care of myself ok?" He's punch ever single bad influence boyfriend I've had just because I was head over heels for them, not because I couldn't defend myself. Does he really think I haven't changed, if he was talking to me 8 years ago when was 16 maybe I would flirt with Silver... I was a mess back then
The launch is starting let's see how this is done...
