Jim Hawkins pov

"I just spoke to the constabulary." Doc explained "Those blaggard pirates have fled without a trace."

A clock chimed in the background, Aaron carried a blanket to mom. A grim expression in his eyes. He placed the blanket on mom's shoulders.

"I'm sorry Sarah. I'm afraid the old Benbow inn has burned to the ground." He clarified sadly. He placed his hands on the arm of the chair. "A lot of trouble…over that odd little sphere. Those markings baffle me unlike anything." He pointed to the golden ball on a nearby table.

I picked it up and tossed it around in my hand. Aaron leaned back on the bookshelves and stared at the ball. Doc continued to talk to mom. I played with the ball as he did so. I pressed three random buttons which made the circles suck inside to the middle. I turned the ball randomly. As soon as I turned it a third time green florescent lights flowed out.

Doc gasped as the lights flowed out. Aaron quickly dashed to me and stared at the ball. A dome surrounded us with small dots around us.

"Why, it's a map!" doc exclaimed "Wait wait wait wait! This is us the planet Montressor." He pointed to the spherical ball that exactly resembled our home. Doc poked it once, as he did the air around us shifted and blew into us. Doc gasped as millions of galaxies passed by "That's the Magellanic cloud!" he pointed to another thing "whoo! The Coral galaxy!" He pointed to another as we passed "that's the Cygnus Cross and that's the Kerian Abyss!"

The map cleared out except a hologramic picture of a familiar planet. Aaron's eyes opened wide as a smile spread across his cheeks. He knew this planet, I did too. We were told it fabled, yet here it was. The dreams of our childhoods coming alive once again.

"What's this? What's this?" his eyes widened as the image honed to Treasure Planet. "Why, it…it's-"

"Treasure planet!" Aaron exclaimed

"No!"

"That's Treasure Planet!" I repeated ecstatically

"Flint's trove? The loot of a thousand worlds?" Doc was obviously astonished

"You know what this means?" Aaron asked

"It means that all that treasure is only a boat ride away." I answered

"Whoever brings it back would hold an eternal place…atop the pantheon of explorers!" Doc exclaimed "He'd be able to experience-." The lights switched back on and doc jumped backward startled "Whoo! What just happened?"

Aaron and I dashed over to mother, the ball in hand and a smile cracked across our faces "Mom, this is it. This is the answer to all our problems!" Aaron gasped

"Jim, Aaron, there is absolutely no way-."

"Don't you remember," I cut her off "All those stories?

"That's all they were-stories!"

"With that treasure…we could rebuild the Benbow a hundred times over!" Aaron declared

"Well, this is- - it's just- - oh my! Delbert would you please explain how ridiculous this is?"

"It's totally preposterous…traversing the entire galaxy alone." Delbert started

"Now at last we hear some sense!"

"That's why I'm going with you." He pulled out a doctors bag and smiled playfully

"Delbert!"

"I'll use my savings to finance the expedition. I'll commission a ship, hire a captain and a crew!" he rushed around the mansion and placed random objects in his bag

"You're not serious."

"All my life I've been waiting for an opportunity like this…and here it is screaming!" he dropped his bag on the ground and stared up with a maddened expression across his face. "Go Delbert! Go Delbert!"

"Okay, Okay you're all grounded" mom screamed in frustration she sighed and placed her hand on her neck

"Mom. Look I know we keep messing everything up…" Aaron started

"And I know…That we let you down." I continued for him "But this is our chance to make it up to you."

"We're gonna set things right." Aaron finished

Doc set his hand on mother's shoulder

"Sarah? If I may? You said yourself, you've tried everything. There are worse remedies…than a few character building months in space."

"Are you saying this because it's the right thing…or because you really want to go?"

"I really, really, really, really want to go." Mom stared down in disbelief. Doc held her chin "And it's the right thing"

Mother sighed and came to us and placed her hand on our foreheads brushing my hair out of our faces. "Jim…Aaron…I don't want to lose you two."

"Mom…you won't." I assured

"We'll make you proud." Aaron added

"Well. Uh. Ahem there we are then we'll begin preparations at once." Doc started "Jim and Aaron, my boys, soon we'll be off to the spaceport."
