Ok guys this is what you've all been waiting for :P

Remember I DO NOT OWN TREASURE PLANET! sadly disney still does :{ That's ok I still have Krista and her family so HA HA XD

"Krista I'm just looking after you alright!" Jim was getting real close to me face.

"Jim-" I sighed.

"It's not like I'm gonna sleep with the guy, you can trust me." I whispered back, and Jim backed away a little.

"Yea well I trust you," Jim smiled.

"Do you trust me enough to let me dance with him?" I asked putting my hands behind my back and jutting out my hip.

"Fine," Jim said, rolling his eyes.

"Ah, come on Jim I'm a big tough girl, remember how I saved your life?" I giggled nudging his shoulder as we walked out of the book store.

"Yea I also remember how Silver had to save you from being sliced," Jim nudged me back. Jim and I walked around the market for another half hour when we finally found the center of it. We didn't even have to wait three minutes till Amelia, Mr. Danta, Dr. Doppler and Mr. Arrow found us.

"Did you found your proper outfits for tonight?" Dr. Doppler asked.

"Yes sir," Jim and I said together smiling.

"Good, now when we get back to the Legacy you two are to report to Mr. Silver at 4:30 and you are to start getting ready," Amelia ordered looking down at us. "The ball tonight starts at 7:00 so I expect you two to be ready at 6:30, got that?" Jim and I slowly nodded are heads.

"Alright let's head off gents!" Amelia said leading the group back to the boat. The morning went by quickly as me and Jim worked our butts off cleaning dishes and scrubbing the floor. I only bumped into Scroop once when I was scrubbing the floor, he just smiled at me and walked off as if he was satisfied with something, I didn't have time to think about it and just continued with my work. When 4:30 came around, Silver excused us from our work and Jim and I headed off to our hammocks.

"Well that was a good workout," I said jumping into my hammock.

"Yea we really worked out our arms today." Jim flexed his arm muscles to prove his point. I dazed off for a minute wondering how wonderful it would be to have those arms around me, to comfort me.

"Krista, you ok?" Jim asked.

"Huh? Oh yea," I said shaking my head.

"Were you day dreaming?" Jim said smiling.

"No," I answered in defense.

"Yes you were, you know you love this," Jim said lifting his shirt a little so I could see his abs.

"Ha! You wish Mr. Hawkins," I answered going over to my bag to get my dress.
"If I didn't know better I would think that you were flirting with me," I said turning around.

"Whatever gave you that idea Ms. Everheart," Jim said walking towards me, smiling mischievously.

"Hmm, maybe it's the way you talk to me or maybe it's the way you smile at me. I don't know Mr. Hawkins, but that's some major flirting there."

"Well I don't know where you're getting those lovely thoughts Ms. Everheart, but I can assure you I am not flirting with you," Jim said sarcastically. It was then when I realized are faces were only inches away...again. It was also when I realized how beautiful and mysterious his light blue eyes were and how boyishly handsome he was.

"Krista I was wondering-" Jim and I turned our head to see Danta standing there with a surprised face.

"I-I didn't know I was interrupting you two I-I'm sorry." Danta stuttered as he ran up the stairs. I turned back to Jim and backed away.

"I better get ready, cause you know time goes by really quickly so yea," I said trailing off.

"Yea, um me too I better go to the upstairs bathroom so you can, um use this one," Jim said rubbing his neck and grabbing his bag.

"So see you tonight then?" I asked.

"Defiantly," Jim answered smiling as he walked up the stairs.

Suddenly Alex zoomed into the room squealing.

"Alex what's wrong?!" I asked trying to grab her then I saw the reason why she was squealing and flying so fast. Out of the blue Morph popped into the room chirping "Alex! Alex!"

"Oh so that's why you came zooming in here like that," Alex nodded in excitement then as quickly as she came she left.

.I got my bag, went to the bathroom and started to get ready for the ball.

It was 6:20 when I finally got out of the bathroom. I had taken a shower, blown my hair dry, used my straighten come to straight out my hair, fix my bangs so most of it was on my left side and some was on my right side of my face, placed on my dress, heals, eyeliner, bass, lip-gloss and then finally I was done. I grabbed my purse and placed my makeup in it and headed for the deck were I saw Amelia standing there looking up into the dark blue Elasta sky.

"Captain?" I called.

"Hm, oh Krista there you are," Amelia said turning around to face me. She was wearing a blue cocktail dress that was cut on the side to show off her black high heal boots. It really brought out her figure.

"Krista you look very beautiful tonight," Amelia smiled.

"Wow you two ladies look as dashing as ever," I heard someone say behind me. I turned around.

"Mr. Silver do you mind me asking why you're out and about?" Amelia asked in her demanding voice.

"Ah, Captain remember I have the first watch tonight," Silver said placing a hand on my shoulder.

"Alright then," Amelia said.

"If the Captain don't mind if I can have a word with Ms. Krista?" Silver asked bowing down.

"Fine, but be quick about it," Amelia snapped. Silver took me to the other side of the boat so Amelia wouldn't be able to hear us.

"Silver what's wrong?" I asked.

"Oh, nothing I just wanna ta say good luck at deh dance to'night."

"Thank you Silver."

"It's me pleasure missy," Silver sighed as he looked into the dark sky, so did I.

"You know I always had hoped that one day I could sail the Etherium with my mom and dad. See things and do things that other people would never even dare to do. To some day be a captain like my mom, but then when she died it seemed like all those dreams just disappeared." I looked up at Silver. He sighed again.

"Krista don't ever give up on yer dream. If ya want it yer gonna have to go an' fight fer it an' then you'll be out there sailing deh Etherium, giving all the Captains out there a run fer there money! An'on tha' day I want ta be right next ta ya watchin' you shine like a solar star." I felt my eyes water and my heart ache. I was at a loss of words and then all I could do was give him a huge hug.

"Thank you Silver."

"Ah, lass you can do great things you just need ta believe in yer self," Silver whispered in my ear.

"Krista it's time!" I heard Amelia call.

"You better be going now lass," Silver nudged me in the direction Amelia was calling me.

"Goodnight Silver," I whispered before I left.

Amelia and I arrived at the ball without a moment to spare.
The guys didn't ride with us because it was an Elasta tradition for the men to not see the dates until there are announced. The ball was being held at what seemed to me to be a castle, but it was actually the Renivans house. Inside also looked as if it held royalty the walls were a plain white, the floor was white marble and it just had a classical feel to it. Amelia and I were guided to the dining room to wait for our names to be announced.

"Welcoming Captain Amelia and her escort Dr. Delbert Doppler." We heard a deep man's voice call. Amelia walked out of the double doors into the ball room. The double doors closed again.

"Ms. Krista Kingston and her escort Mr. James Hawkins," The double doors re-opened. I walked out onto a staircase, everyone was looking at me I felt my checks heat up. I looked at the end of the staircase and saw Jim wearing a black and white tux. I started walking down the staircase, but kept my eyes on Jim. He was smiling a mile a minute. When I got to the end of the stair case Jim was holding a black box.

"Jim what is that?" I asked.

"Huh, what? Oh yeah," Jim stuttered.

"Were you daydreaming?" I giggled.

"No," Jim blurted.

"Yes you were, you know you love this," I smiled, remembering the conversation we had earlier today.

"Ha, Ha very funny," Jim rolled his eyes. He led me to a table that said "reserved for Ms. Krista and Mr. James" Jim placed the box down and pulled out a seat for me.

"Thank you Jim."

"You're welcome," Jim answered rubbing his neck.

"So what's in the box?" I asked.

"Open it and see." Jim said pushing the box towards me. I opened the box and inside it held a wonderful silver necklace it had one purple diamond dangling in the middle.

"Jim it's perfect!" He got up from his seat and took the necklace out of the box and placed it on me.

"Thank you so much I don't know what to say." Suddenly a tall dark muscular man walked onto the stage.

"This is our first dance of the night and I would like to ask for all of the men to ask the women they escorted tonight to please dance the king and queen waltz," the man announced.

"Then well you dance with me?" Jim asked holding out his hand.

"Of course," I said taking his hand in mine. Jim and I went to the center of the dance floor when the music started playing.

You're in my arms
And all the world is gone
The music playing on
For only two
So close together

And when I'm with you
So close to feeling alive

A life goes by
Romantic dreams must die
So I bid mine goodbye
And never knew
So close with waiting
Waiting here with you
And now, forever, I know
All that I wanted is to hold you
So close

So close to reaching
That famous happy end
Almost believing
This one's not pretend
Now you're beside me
And look how far we've come
So far
We are
So close... *music playing romantically with a fast beat*

Oh, how could I face these faceless days
If I should lose you now?

We're so close to reaching
That famous happy end
Almost believing
This was not pretend
Let's go on dreaming
Though we know we are
So close
So close, so close
And still so far...

The music ended, but I didn't even notice. Jim and I were still in the middle of the dance floor staring into each other's eyes feeling each other's heart beat, holding each other so close.

"May I interrupt?" I turned my gaze to...Ricardo?

"Yea, sure," Jim said smiling at me. I placed my head down a bit so Jim couldn't see me blush. Ricardo took my hand and placed his other one on my lower back. Before the music started he pulled me really close so my ear was right next to his mouth.

"You look stunning," he whispered in my ear. Then the music started.

I feel the waves began to rise
Far across the ocean deep within your eyes
Silently watching as they fall

"So how has your evening been?" Ricardo whispered as he twirled me out.

"Good I guess."

Strike up the lightening
Hear my prayer
Feel the light electric dancing through the air
Here by the ancient castle wall

"Who gave you that necklace?" Ricardo asked dipping me.

"Jim he gave it to me as a present," I answered as he spun me around.

"Well it is pretty," Ricardo retorted.

"I happen to love it," I said in defense.

Quiet by nature, standing tall
Old stone circles, they have seen it all
Caught like a ghost in yesterday,

"That boy wouldn't know quality if it hit him in the head." Ricardo said spinning me again.

"Hey leave him alone he's my friend!" I said grabbing his hand.

Fire and water, earth and sky
Mysteries surround us
Legends never die
They live for the moment, lost in time
I can hear them call
Locked within the crystal ball

The music finished. I turned to leave when Ricardo grabbed my wrist, twirled me around and kissed me. I quickly punched him across his face and wiped my mouth with my arm. Jim ran towards me.

"You okay?" Jim asked concerned.

"Yea, but I wouldn't mind a drink. Can you come with me please?"

"Sure," Jim said happily although concerned still filled his features.

"Hmm, well this is nice." I said to myself.
I had left the party a couple of minutes ago and went outside to the garden to look at the stars. Jim was talking to a bunch of girls when I left him. I also had about five glasses of wine. It was a surprise when I found out that the law on Elasta said that as long as you are 13 and older you could drink. Back on Lazam you had to be 25 to be able to drink.

"Krista you out here?" I heard a familiar voice call and I smiled.

"Over here!" I yelled back so Jim could hear me.

"There you are Doc and the Captain have been wondering where you have been," Jim said sitting next to me.

"Yea, well I'm tired it has been a long day and even a longer night," I said standing up to go through the garden.

"Well I would be tired to if I'd just been kissed then smack that same person in the face." Jim said sarcastically as he followed me.

"Oh my god don't remind me. I can't believe I fell for him I feel like such an idiot I should had just trusted your judgment. I'm sorry."
"Don't be I'm the one who should be sorry for treating you like a little girl," Jim caught up to me and stopped in front of me.

"Krista I am-" Jim cut himself off.

"Jim I'm sorry but-" I cut myself off.

"Krista I know I've only know you for three day's but I think I may lo-" I cut him off.

"Jim please don't do this," I begged.

"Krista I know you felt what I felt out there and that's what I'm going on about. So what if we've only known each other for a mouth or year no I'm going on what I been feeling since I saw you on the spaceport." Jim grabbed my hands in his.

"Jim there's someone else!" I yelled.

"I'm sorry," I whispered.

"JIM!" I yelled. I looked around the room it was dark I was in my hammock?

"It was just a dream! Thank god," I got up and saw that I was still in my dress and heals. I changed really quickly and decided to go up onto the deck. I climbed the shrouds till I found a comfortable spot. I looked up at the sky hoping it would give me some comfort.

"Mom please help me!" I yelled into the night.

Don't be mad please! I'm sorry I left it like that, but school's gonna start soon and I know I'm not gonna have a lot of time to write so, yea. :(
