Disclaimer: I do not own Treasure Planet or Treasure Island. All I own is this plot and Kalliandra!
This is a remake of the original movie and many parts and lines in the movie in in this. But I have added things
and I haven't used every single line word for word.

Chapter Three
Meeting New Friends
Jim was too caught up in the scene to even notice Kalli was right behind him. Mr. Silver walked up to them both. "Jimbo, I'd like for yer to meet two new friends." Jim's face suddenly lit up as he looked around for the two new friends. "Mr. Mop," He threw Jim and mop. "And Mrs. Bucket," Then he threw him a bucket.
"Yippee." Jim said under his breath. Jim noticed Kalliandra had a huge smirk on her face.
"Oh and Kalli, you're goin' to 'af to 'elp 'im." Mr. Silver said, tossing Kalli a mop. The smirk quickly faded.
Jim started cleaning up, Kalli just stood there and watched him. Jim looked up. "You gonna help me clean?" He asked.
"I am!" She exclaimed. "I'm supervising." Jim rolled his eyes.
"Everyoneon the boathas a problem." He whispered.
One of the larger members of the crew bumped into Jim. He turned around and gave him an evil look. "Watch it, twerp." Jim just looked startled.
And just Jim's luck, Mr. Scroop came crawling down from the cargo net the ropes made, heading straight for Jim. He looked Jim straight in the eye. "Cabin boys should learn how to mind their own business." He hissed.
"Why? Got something to hide, bright eyes?" Jim asked with a satisfied smirk on his face.
Mr. Scroop lifted Jim up by the collar with his claw. "I don't think your ears work too well,"
"Yea, too bad my nose works fine." Jim said, fanning in front of his face as if he smelled something quite foul. Kalli hurried over to defend Jim. "Back off, Scroop!" She said. He slapped her with the other claw. "Step off, cabin-girl. This has nothing to do with you…" He turned back to Jim and lifted him even higher. "Any last words, cabin-boy?"
The rest of the crew started chanting, "FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!" Scroop was about to claw Jim to death until Mr. Silver came. He grabbed Scroop's free claw with his mechanical arm. "Mr. Scroop, you want to see what happens to a fresh perp when you squeeze real hard?" He squeezed his arm really hard, making Scroop yelp and let Jim go.
"What's all this?" Mr. Arrow asked as he walked down the stairs. Everyone quickly got in a straight line including Kalli and Scroop. "You know the rules, there be no brawling on this ship. Any further offenders will be confined to the brim for the rest of the trip." Then he looked Scroop straight in the eye. "Am I clear, Mr. Scroop?" He asked.
Scroop took a glance at Silver then turned back to Mr. Arrow. "Transparently," He mumbled. Everyone quickly got back to their stations, leaving Jim and Silver to themselves.
Mr. Silver looked Jim straight in the eye as he picked up his mop. "Jimbo, I gave you a job!"
"I was doing it! But Kalliandra wasn't helping and that bug thing-" Jim complained until Silver interrupted him.
"Belay that!" Jim went silent. "Now, I want to see the deck swabbed spotless, and heavens if I come back and it's not…" Then he looked to Morph. "Morphy, keep an eye on this here pop. Tell me if there are any…distractions." Jim couldn't hear the rest because he went into a full whisper. But Morph nodded and zoomed over to Jim.
Jim watched Mr. Silver walk away and gave him a face. Morph made his big white eyes even huger then normally. What a joker. Jim rolled his eyes and started mopping.
Jim was about done cleaning when Morph started helping him by turning into a mini mop…and mopping his boots. Jim laughed. "This has been a fun day, huh? Makin' new friends…like that spider psycho." Jim asked. Morph nodded and morphed into a little version of the spider. "A little uglier," Morph popped out his eyes and went completely nuts. Jim laughed and petted the little pink thing. "And how 'bout Kalliandra," Morph turned himself into a mini Kalli.
"Kalliandra, Kalliandra!" Morph repeated over and over again. Jim laughed once again.
Mr. Silver walked up from the galley with a bowl of trash. Jim quickly went back to mopping. "Thank heavens for little miracles," He said as he dumped the trash out of the boat. "Moppin' for 'ours and the boats still in one piece."
"Um…yea…you…what you did…thanks." Jim said with a small grin.
Silver looked at Jim looking somewhat concerned. "Didn't yer Da teach ya to pick yer fights more carefully?"
The smile quickly faded. Jim turned away from Silver and started mopping again.
"Yer Father not the teachin' sort?"
"No," Jim replied. "He was more of the leaving and never coming back sort of guy." Jim's back was now completely turned to Silver.
Jim didn't care to look up, he just kept mopping. "My Dad was more of the leave and never come back type."
"Oh…sorry lad,"
"Hey, it's no big deal." Jim said, setting his mop against the side of the boat, "Doin' just fine,"
"Is that so…well, since the Captain has put ya in my charge, I'll be poundin' a few skills into that thick head of yers to keep ya outta trouble."
"What!"
"From now on I'm not goin' to let you out of me sight."
"You can't do th-"
"You won't eat, sleep or scratch yer bum without my say so!"
"Don't do me any favors!"
"You can be sure of that, my lad. You can be sure of that."
