Arianna and Sarah sat next to the fireplace as they were in Delbert's home. Delbert had changed his clothes in favor of pajamas, also wearing slippers.

"I just spoke with the constabulary," Delbert reported with a sigh, rubbing at his face. "Those blaggard pirates have fled without a trace."

Arianna narrowed her eyes in anger. His clock chimed nearby as she took a deep breath. First her with her home, and now Sarah with her inn...it wasn't fair. And Sarah had done a lot for her, but now pirates had attacked the Inn...

Something was dropped over her shoulders and she looked up to see that Jim had placed a blanket over her. She tugged it closer and watched as he walked away.

"Jim?"

He turned to the girl, a little startled by his name suddenly coming from her. "Thank you...for what you did back there at the Inn," She smiled weakly at him. "I just froze, because...it reminded me of my father..."

"Oh, you know...it was nothing," He walked back up to her, bending down to her level. "I just...saw your eyes and then I knew that something was wrong. That you needed to hear it." He placed his hand on top of hers and the two shared a small smile towards each other.

Sarah then cleared her throat and they turned to see the two adults smirking at them. Jim glanced at her and then the two immediately let go, feeling a bit embarrassed. Arianna moved a bang away from her face bashfully. Jim chuckled sheepishly as he went over to his mother to give her a blanket. Delbert walked over to Sarah and kneeled next to her chair.

"I'm sorry, Sarah. I'm afraid the old Benbow Inn...has burned to the ground."

Sarah's eyes widened and she sighed, closing her eyes. Her pain could be felt by all three of them.

Jim opened and then closed his mouth, slightly reaching out before his hand dropped to the side. Arianna's eyes softened upon seeing this as he was unable to comfort his own mother. Delbert saw him and cleared his throat while Jim remained silent.

"Ahem. Well, certainly a lot of trouble...over that odd little sphere," Delbert spoke up as Jim walked over to the small desk where the sphere was. Arianna followed his movements with her eyes as he started fiddling with it. "Those markings baffle me. Unlike anything I've ever encountered."

He was oblivious to Jim pressing in the same pattern Billy put into the chest, and then it made an odd sound.

"Even with my vast experience...and superior intellect..."

Jim turned half of the sphere before he turned the top half. It whirled and then a bright green light appeared.

"It would take me years to unlock its—Hey!" He called out as the lights had dimmed and a light green beam had come out of the sphere that Jim was holding. He looked completely surprised while Ari's mouth opened in awe, star-like swirls going around the room and then they formed into planets and stars all around them. Sarah gasped sharply, her and Ari standing up.

"Why, it's a map!" Delbert exclaimed excitedly. Ari reached out her hand and the stars phased right through her hand. "Wait." Delbert adjusted his glasses as he saw a planet in front of him. "Wait, wait, wait! This is us, the planet Montressor." He tapped it and then other planets and stars flew right past them, taking them by surprise. "That's the Magellanic Cloud! Whoo! The Coral Galaxy! That's the Cygnus Cross...and that's the Kerian Abyss!"

Jim glanced at Ari as she beamed in awe, spinning around. Stars flew around her by her movements and he stared at her, smiling a little.

"Wait. What's this?" Delbert spoke up again, getting both their attentions. "What's this? Why, it...it's..."

"Treasure Planet," Jim and Ari murmured at the same time.

"No!" Delbert said in disbelief, the planet's reflection in his glasses.

"That's Treasure Planet!" Jim smiled widely as his eyes shined, chuckling.

"With Captain Flint's Trove..." Ari whispered as she tried not to squeal, jumping up and down.

"Flint's trove? The loot of a thousand worlds?" Delbert questioned them. "Do you know what this means?!"

"It means that all that treasure is just a boat ride away," Jim stepped forward, tossing the map into the air and catching it.

"Whoever brings it back would hold an eternal place atop the pantheon of explorers!" Delbert stated and Ari blinked upon hearing that. She would love to go over there and make a name for herself, just like she had been dreaming about for years.

"He'd be able to experience-" Delbert stopped speaking as Jim closed the lights, turning the lights back on. "What just happened?"

"Mom, this is it! This is the answer to all our problems!" Jim put the map away in his pocket, walking up to his mother with a wide smile.

Sarah rubbed her forehead. "Jim, there is absolutely no way-"

Jim's smile faded at her expression. "Don't you remember? All those stories?"

"That's all they were—stories!" Sarah argued back.

"With that treasure, we could rebuild the Benbow a hundred times over!" He tried to convince her and she turned to Arianna.

"Ari, please make him see reason!"

"Sarah..." Ari's eyes softened at her. "You've always been reading me adventure stories ever since I was a little girl. Especially when my dad would always be gone at work. That continued to inspire me." Sarah gave a sympathetic look. She could still remember the day she told Oliver that he had to be more present in his daughter's life. "This is an opportunity I never thought I'd have..."

"W-Well, yes, but this is—it's just-oh, my, Delbert, will you please explain to them how ridiculous this is to them?"

"It's totally preposterous!" He pushed his glasses up. "Two teenagers traversing the galaxy alone!" He snorted, adjusting his robe.

Jim rolled his eyes with a grumble while Ari pouted at him. "Now, at last, we hear some sense!" Sarah agreed in relief, crossing her arms with a relieved smile.

"...That's why I'm going with you!"

"Delbert!" Sarah exclaimed in shock as the two looked up in shock, grinning happily at him.

Delbert ran around to gather things, rambling. "I'll use my savings to finance the expedition," He scooped some tools into his bag. "I'll commission a ship, hire a captain and crew." He stuffed a sweater into his bag before racing up a pile of books, grabbing a toothbrush from a jar at the very top of it.

"You're not serious," The woman stated in disbelief.

He put the toothbrush in his bag and slid down the pile of books. "All my life I've been waiting for an opportunity like this..." He slammed his bag down. "And here it is screaming..." He then started dancing. "Go, Delbert! Go, Delbert!"

Ari snickered, covering her mouth at her hand as she watched him. Jim bit back a chuckle himself.

"Okay. Okay!" Sarah waved her hands. "You're all grounded!" She then sighed, rubbing at her neck.

"Mom, look," Jim spoke up to her. She turned to him and he sighed. "I know that I keep messing everything up, and I know...that I let you down." Sarah stared at him softly. "But this is my chance to make it up to you. I'm gonna set things right."

"Jim..." Ari murmured softly at his dedication, looking away to Sarah knowingly. The woman did want Jim to change things around for his own sake so that he wouldn't spiral down further...this trip might do something for him. And hopefully...it could help fix their damaged friendship.

"Sarah?" Delbert called out to get her attention. "If I may?"

The two walked away to talk to themselves in private. "You said yourself, you've tried everything," Delbert reminded her quietly. "There are much worse remedies than a few character-building months in space." He rubbed at his chin, reminding her that Jim was very close to going to juvie.

She sighed at him knowingly. "Are you saying this because it's the right thing, or because you really wanna go?" She smiled up at him.

He clasped his hands pleading. "I really, really, really, really want to go..." He lifted up her chin. "And it's the right thing. Besides...the girl could really use a trip to have time to remember her father. Didn't you say that you took care of her when she was a little girl? Her father would've loved to see her go off to Treasure Planet of all places, wouldn't he?"

Her eyes widened as she looked back at the two, Jim handing the map to Ari. She touched it so delicately because she didn't want to damage the thing, examining it in awe. Then Sarah noticed a melancholy look from the girl hitting her eyes. She could tell that Ari was thinking of her father as she lightly gripped the map in her hands. Jim placed a gentle hand on her shoulder, taking the map back from her. He then looked up at his mother. Sarah sighed and faced the two, looking sad.

"Jim. Ari...I don't wanna lose you," Sarah gently stroked Jim's right bang. "Your father is already gone, you're all that remains of his legacy...you meant so much to him, and you're like the daughter I never had..."

"Mom..." Jim took her hand in his, smiling. "You won't. I'll make you proud."

"Sarah...I never forget that I'm all that's left of him now..." Ari looked away briefly. "But if I do this...I know that he'll be watching, and that...he didn't die for nothing. This is what I want to do, no matter what the risk is...knowing that, I'll be okay."

She smiled at her for the reassurance from the both of them.

"And she's got me looking after her, but, you know, all that too," Jim put an arm around her casually. She scoffed, pushing him away playfully.

"Who really needs to be looked after, me or you?" She teased him, crossing her arms. "Your little stunt with your solar surfer doesn't seem to be a good track record already. I don't feel really protected if you're gonna be doing stuff like that the whole trip."

"Hey!" He protested at her with a playful smile of her own. "I can do it. You're not exactly that hard to watch after for me."

"I can think of three reasons why you can't," She hummed a bit.

"Like what?" He crossed his arms with a confident look.

"Let's see, one time you destroyed my model ship with a paddle ball when we were 5, then there was the time my dad caught you stealing one of his muffins when he last visited the Inn...and you're not very observant either if I have this without you noticing it," She smirked, a hand on her hip as she suddenly held up the map with her other hand.

He flinched in shock, opening up his pockets. He then chuckled a bit, lunging forward to get it. She stepped back and they spun around each other to play keep away. "Ari, give it back!"

"Nah, I think I'll keep it!" She exclaimed playfully, both of them laughing. Sarah smiled fondly at the two, as they would play like this when they were young.

"Oh, come on! This is embarrassing," He smiled as she held it above her head, grinning.

"Ahem," Delbert cleared his throat and they stopped, eyes wide. Ari smiled sheepishly, hands behind her back as she swept a bang away from her hair. Jim looked away, a small but sad smile on his face. They hadn't been like this in years, and it really showed... "Well, then. There we are then. We'll begin preparations at once. Jim, my boy. Ari, my dear, soon we'll be off to the spaceport," He gestured to the moon with a smile.

Ari bounced up and down a bit, smiling in excitement as she couldn't wait.
