Chapter 4

"The star Pelusa! It's gone supernova!" Delbert shouted as the booms grew louder and louder. I looked over in fright as I saw Silver and Jim emerge from the galleys.

"All hands fasten your lifelines!" Amelia ordered us all as another wave slowly pushed us back and forth. Everyone scrambled to the middle beam where the lifeline ropes were located and tied them around our waists. Jim just happened to be next to mine.

"Mr. Arrow, secure those sails!"

Arrow nodded, "Secure all sails! Reef them down, men!" he boomed as we all ran to a sail and tugged at the ropes, pulling them in. I watched as another wave rocked the boat and sent Silver flying off the beam he stood on.

"SILVER!" I could hear Jim scream as he fell, but thank god for Jim. He saved Silver that day. Suddenly, the heat really intensified for a moment. Looking to my right, i covered my eyes as the blinding light of a piece of the star was making its way towards the ship. The crew that was shooting down various pieces of the star heading our way suddenly abandoned his post as he saw this piece coming nearer. Preparing myself for the worst, I covered my eyes and shut them tight, expecting the ship to be blown to smithereens from the piece. But, it never came! Looking up, I watched as it was suddenlt sucked backwards. I panicked when I heard the doc gasp suddenly, which couldn't mean anything good.

"Captain, the star! It's devolving into," he gasped, "A black hole!" he exclaimed as we all looked over to indeed see, a huge, ginormous, black hole.

"Wonderful," I grumbled through my clenched teeth. I watched as the person steering the bought could barely fight off the huge waves pushing us, and fell to the ground.

"OH NO YOU DON'T!" Amelia exclaimed as she took hold of the wheel. "Blast these waves! They're so deucedly erratic!"

"No, Captain. They're not erratic at all! There'll be one more in precisely 17.7 seconds, followed by the biggest magilla of them all!" Delbert cried out as Amelia's eyes widened with a grin.

"Of course! Brilliant, Doctor! We'll ride that last magilla out of here!"

Say, WHAT?! Was she crazy? We would die! I let out a groan as she let out her next order.

"All sails secured, Captain!" Arrow confirmed as she ran to him.

"Good man! Now release them immediately!" even Arrow look just as annoyed and confused with her as we all were!

"Aye, Captain." he weakly and reluctantly obeyed, "You heard her, men! Unfurl those sails!"

"What?!"

"But we just finished,"

"Tying them down!"

"Make up your blooming minds!" various crew members shouted as they all climbed back up the rafters to release the sails.

"Mr. Hawkins! Make sure all lifelines are secured good and tight!" Amelia shouted to Jim as he nodded. Was that a hint of fear I saw in his eyes?

"Aye-aye, Captain!" he saluted and went to work. We shared a glance, then he went back to work. Gosh, I needed him now more than ever!

"Lifelines secured, Captain!" he called back as she smiled.

"Very good!"

I stood next to the beam, watching the scene unfold. Then, someone tapped my shoulder. Jim.

"Come on! You've gotta stay with me!" he called as he grabbed my wrist and pulled me to the middle beam, everyone made there way down back to the middle.

"Captain, the last wave!" Delbert called as he braced the sided tightly, "Here it comes!"

"Hold on to your lifelines, gents! lt's gonna be a bumpy ride!"

Jim and I were pressed to the beam tightly as his body wrapped over mine, shielding me. Then, I saw Silver's cyborg arm reach around Jim as he protected us even more. I buried my face into Jim's chest as I clutched his shirt as tight as I could. These were the longest ten seconds of my life, ever. Tears streamed down my face as I could see the darkness closing in all around us. It grew quieter and darker, until it went pitch black. It was completely silent. Jim's breathing was all I could feel.

Then, the boom. The last wave. It exploded with a bright light, sending us hurdling into space and out of the black hole. I screamed as I felt the heat grow extremely hot and the explosion grew louder. The sails seemed to be pushing on their last end as the explosion pushed us out.

(Start "Silver Comforts Jim")

Wait. We were alive? We were alive! It took us all a few minutes to figure it out, but we all eventually let out cheers as we all gathered together.

"Jim, I'm alive! Your alive! We're all alive!" I exclaimed as he picked me up and spun me around as we let out excited and nervous laughs.

"I'm so happy your okay, Fay!" he said as we hugged gently now.

"Thank you," I whispered into his ear as we pulled apart, smiling.

"All hands accounted for, Mr. Arrow?" we all heard Amelia ask as we turned around. It got silent as we waited for a reply, but heard nothing.

"Mr. Arrow?" Amelia tried again as she began to look a little panicky. I looked around for any sight of the old spacer, but he was nowhere to be seen... Scroop slowly emerged from the group, sad and quiet.

"I'm afraid, Mr. Arrow has been lost." Scroop said, handing Amelia Arrow's hat that he had worn. Amelia's eyes widened with tears as her ears fell, her best friend was gone. But, how could he die?

"His lifeline, was not secured." Scroop replied as he looked back at Jim. Now, everyone looked back, disappointed and sad, especially Amelia. I also turned back to look at Jim.

"No, I checked 'em all!" Jim cried in rage as he ran past me and Silver to the lifelines, checking each and every one. A single lifeline rope was missing.

"I-I did'. I, checked them all! They were secure..." Jim trailed off as he stared in disbelief at the lifelines. I sighed as I looked back to Amelia, who was squeezing the hat she was given.

"Mr. Arrow, was a," she paused to clear her throat, "A fine spacer. Finer than most of us, could ever hope to be." Amelia finished as she held back tears. A single tear slid down my cheek as we stood there in a moment of silence, while Jim stood behind me, breathing heavily.

"But he knew the risks, as do we all. Resume your posts, we carry on." Amelia nodded to us, and set off to her stateroom. Everyone turned to look at each other sadly, it was really depressing!

I watched as Jim let out a groan and took off to the rafters. Silver and I glanced at each other wearily as we watched Jim sit alone.

"I guess I'll go talk to him first," I said as Silver nodded. Jim sat on a rafter, fiddling with his fingers, angry at himself. I felt, REALLY, bad.

"Hey!" I attempted to cheerily greet him, only to get a sad stare from him. Shaking my head, I climbed up the rafter and sat next to him.

"Hey, Jim." I said rubbing his shoulder.

"It's my fault." he said glaring at the sky in front of him.

"Jim, don't say that, okay?" I replied trying to get him to look at me.

"But Fay, I checked every single lifeline! And his was gone! I must have mis-checked, it's all my fault, see?" he asked snapping his head to mine as the tears began to form.

"James, you listen to me!" I said as I scooted closer, taking his face in my hands. Teats fell from his eyes as I wiped them away with my thumbs.

"It could have happened to anyone, okay?" I whispered as he put his head down and I pulled mine closer.

"But, it happened to me." he said sniffing. "For once, I'd thought I'd done something right! But no, of course not. I can't do anything right, I'm always screwing things up!" he said as he put his head on my shoulder. Oh dear this was awkward, we weren't friends, and now we are?

"No, you didn't screw up." I finally said as I ran a finger through his hair.

Jim sniffed and looked up at me, "Fay, we both know I did."

"No, you didn't. I'm still here, Jim. That could have been me floating off into space instead of Arrow. Jim, I'm always going to tell people you saved me today." I said as I smiled at him and he smiled back, with a chuckle. Finally! A smile!

"Your eyes are blue," he whispered tucking my bangs behind my ear.

"Huh, guess I'm feelin' better then." I said as he smiled at me. Then, he leaned closer, and closer.

"Fay?"

"Hmm?" our noses were pressed together as our breathing quickened.

"Your my best friend," he said taking my hands. Then, he leaned in. But OF COURSE, someone interrupted us!

"Pardon me, lovebirds, but eh, can I have a word with yeh, Jimbo lad?" Silver asked with a clear of his throat, you could hear the smile in his voice. Jim sighed and smiled at me.

"Yeah, okay. Just a sec." Jim replied as he looked over my shoulder. Silver winked and walked away.

"I think I should go to bed, Jim." I said as I blushed.

"Yeah. I think I might too after I talk with Silver." he replied as he smiled at me.

I chuckled, "Night, Jimmy." I paused, "Watch out for Silver, okay? Don't let him get to you."

"I can take care of myself, Fay. Just leave it." Jim snapped back as he looked away.

Before I slipped away, I planted a kiss on his cheek. Jim's eyes grew wide and his grin ear to ear, and he blushed! I watched as I walked away, he held his hand over the spot where I had kissed him, with a heavenly-like sigh and smile. I myself found me to be grinning like a complete idiot, and blushing like crazy! I had never felt like this before towards Jim! Why now? He was always just a best friend to me! Why was I feeling like this now?
