"Doctor, to muse and blabber about a treasure map in front of this particular crew demonstrates a level of ineptitude that borders on the imbecilic, and I mean that in a very caring way," Amelia said.
"Imbecilic, did you say? Foolishness, I've," Delbert started, but was interrupted.
"May I see the map, please?"
Delbert motioned for Jim to hand it over and he tossed it. Amelia caught the sphere without hesitation and stared at the map in awe.
"Hmmm… Fascinating." Amelia whispered but then turned her attention to Jim and I.
" Mr. Hawkins and Miss Clarington, in the future, you will address me as 'Captain' or 'Ma'am'. Is that clear?" As she spoke, she placed the map in a cupboard. I gave her a curious look. She really wanted me and Jim to call her ma'am?
"Mr. Hawkins, Ms. Clarington," Amelia prompted.
"Yes captain." I answered.
"Yes Mam'am." Jim added.
"That'll do. Everyone, this is to be kept under lock and key when not in use. And, Doctor, again, with the greatest possible respect, zip your howling screamer."
"One point for Amelia," I whispered to Jim.
"Captain, I can assure you, I," Delbert was cut off by Amelia again.
"And zip for Dr." Jim whispered back.
"Let me make this as monosyllabic as possible. I don't much care for the crew you hired. They're… how did I describe them, Arrow? I said something rather good this morning before coffee."
"A ludicrous parcel of driveling galoots, ma'am," Mr. Arrow answered.
"There you go poetry."
"Now, see here!" Delbert started.
"Doctor, I'd love to chat, tea, cake, the whole shebang but I have a ship to launch and you've got your outfit to buff up."
"Delbert has no chance." I said.
"Mr. Arrow, please escort these three neophytes down to the galley straightaway. Young Hawkins and Clarington will be working for our cook, Mr. Silver."
"Wha-what! The cook?" Jim and I said.
We were led down to the galley by Mr. Arrow. All the while, Delbert and Jim were berating Captain Amelia.
""I'll not tolerate a cross word about our captain," Mr. Arrow yelled, grabbing them both by the shoulder.
"There's no finer officer in this, or any, galaxy."
"Don't piss off the crew." I melodic. Jim rolled his eyes as his attention was caught by something in the shadows.
"Mr. Silver!" Arrow called.
"Why, Mr. Arrow, sir. Bringin' such fine and distinguished guest to grace my humble galley. Had I known, I'd have tucked in me shirt," A man stepped out of the shadow and to my shock he wasn't a man he was half mechanical.
"May I introduce Dr. Doppler, the financier of our voyage," Arrow said.
"Love the outfit, Doc," Silver answered, looking over Delbert with his mechanical eye.
"Love the eye," Delbert said covering his suit with his hands.
"Am, this young lad and lass is Jim Hawkins and Adela Clarington." Delbert said pushing Jim and I towards Silver.
"Jimbo, Adel," Silver put out his hand to shake Jim's, but instead of mechanical fingers there were pointy objects. Judging by Silvers face it was so post to be a joke, Jim just glared at him and Silver went back to his work.
"Ah, don't be put off by this hunk of hardware." Silver was cutting up some meats I think and some veggies.
"These gears have been tough getting use to but they do come in mighty handy from time ta time." As Silver showed off his cooking skills I decided to sneak out while I could.
I quickly ran up the stairs onto deck when I ran into someone and landed right on my but.
"Hey!" I said rubbing my head.
"Oh my bad," I heard someone say. I opened my eyes and saw a man standing in front of me trying to lend me a hand. I had to admit he was cute he had blazing red hair and beautiful green eyes. He was also wearing black pants, a white button up shirt with a blue sleeveless jacket over it and black boots. I took his hand and got back on my feet.
"I'm sorry for that I was in a hurry to find my sister." The guy said.
"Oh it's ok I'm good." I answered dusting my self off.
"You sure cause I can take you to the nurse."
"No, no I'm fine." I said as my cheeks began to blush.
"Ok well I got to go but I hope to see you soon." The man said before rushing away.
"Yea," I whispered.
RIIINNNNGGG!
"What was that?"
"Prepare to cast off!" Mr. Arrow commanded.
"Were all clear captain!" A strange alien from the crows nest hollered. I started running towards the galley to get Jim so he could see the launch when I bumped into him.
"Jim!" I said rubbing my butt.
"Oh, sorry." Jim said helping me up.
"All hands to stations!" Mr. Arrow yelled.
"Loose all solar sails!" Arrow called.
"You ready?" I asked.
"For what?" Jim answered leaning on the side of the ship.
"The launch." I giggled as I climbed the shrouds. I looked back down and saw Jim floating! It only lasted a certain amount of time cause a purple light went through the deck and he fell right back down.
"Take her away!" I quickly tighten my grip on the ropes as the ship went full speed into space. Once out of Montressers atmosphere the ship slowed it's speed.
"Woo!" I heard Jim say. I turned my head and saw Jim was right next to me.
"Look!" Jim said pointing to a big animal that resembled a whale.
"Oh my gosh." I sighed as we saw the beautiful creatures pass by.
"Jimbo, Adela," We heard Silver call.
"Great." I scoffed as I turned around to face him.
"I got four new friends I would like you to meet." I rolled my eyes knowing that this was not going to be fun.
"Mr. Mop, Mrs. Bucket, captain scrub and sergeant bucket." Silver said throwing the cleaning supplies at us.
"Yippee," Jim and I commented.
"Come on lets just get it over with." I said as I jumped off the shrouds. I was about to start working when I saw the guy. The guy who I had bumped into earlier he was talking to Amelia?
"Hold the phone." I said as I threw my rag on the floor.
"Hey!" I yelled to the guy. I still hadn't gotten his attention.
"Hey dude in the blue jacket!" I yelled running up the stairs to were Amelia and he was. He still didn't answer me.
"Hey dude!" I said tapping his shoulder.
"Ah, yes?" He asked confused.
"You're related to the captain?" I asked pointing to Amelia.
"Am yea she's my sister."
"Whoa and you didn't care to tell me this when you bumped into me?" I questioned.
"Well it's not the first thing I tell a cute girl." He answered.
"Yea and apparently you name either, I kept calling you dude this whole time I was trying to get your attention."
"Oh sorry am, my name is Christopher and this is my sister Amelia." Christopher introduced.
"May I get your name?" Christopher asked.
"I'm Adela and an only child but I have Jim who's like a brother to me." I said looking at Jim working.
"Well then since we have had our introductions Chris I need you to help Mr. Arrow down in the hollows." Amelia ordered.
"Yes captain." Christopher saluted as he leaped and landed onto the deck.
"Am may I ask how old is he?" I asked Amelia.
"He's four years younger then me so that would make him seventeen." Amelia answered.
"Wow."
