.:*:. Chapter One: INTRO .:*:.
Lisa Snikwah cleaned up the plates on one of the tables, carefully listening to the conversation of an odd group of people sitting at the next table. They were travelers from another planet, and seemed nice and fit right in, but Lisa thought otherwise. They looked like pirates to her.
"Everyone looks like pirates to you, Lisa." said one of the other girls as she washed the dishes.
"No they don't! And try to be serious." Lisa said angrily.
"You know, she's right. You always say you see pirates. You're obsessed with them if you ask me." said another waitress as she passed.
"I'm not obsessed about them-"
"Then why do you read so much about those old Treasure Planet stories? You know, the ones about Jim Hawkins?"
"I KNOW what stories you're talking about." Lisa said darkly, grabbing a tray. "I'm just being careful."
"Why would pirates be in here anyway?"
"Well...." Lisa stopped. She didn't know why pirates would be in here. "Maybe they ran out of food or something and they're hungry."
The other waitress gave her a look. "Pirates steal treasure. They probably steal food too. They wouldn't just come in here and sit down."
"Good point." the other waitresses pointed out.
But Lisa continued her careful watch. Later that night another stranger approached, which Lisa noticed the other "pirates" had their eyes on.
"Give me a drink." the stranger said loudly, sitting at the table Lisa had been cleaning.
"Coming right up!"
The stranger was hard to describe. He was big, and had a mechanical arm and leg, as Lisa observed, and a strange eye. He talked a lot, particularly to the table of "pirates." She watched them when she gave the stranger his drink, and noticed they had very eager and greedy looks on their faces.
As they talked, she found out the stranger's name was John Silver. She was so surprised by that name she nearly dropped a tray full of food. She served the food and rushed back into the kitchen, trying to realize when she had just heard. Silver was from the book she had read, about Treasure Planet. But, that couldn't be THE Silver, could it? Why would he be here? She decided to learn more and headed back into the room.
"Going back to visit old Jimbo." she heard him saying to the others. Jimbo? That was what he called Jim Hawkins, another character from that book. She edged closer to the table, excited.
"And taking me loot with me." Silver continued. The others were unusually quiet, shaking their heads excitedly, their eyes not friendly. She didn't trust them. But did that mean she couldn't trust Silver? But she had read all about him!
"Excuse me, for a moment." Silver said, started to get up and turning towards the rest rooms. Lisa rushed over to the hallways and hid in the shadows. Her long, red, curly hair was the only thing that could be seen.
When the pirate walked passed her, she grabbed him and pulled him into a nearby closet and shut the door, ignoring his shouts.
"Shhh!" she warned. "Now, answer my questions right now."
"Who are you? And what in blazes are you doing?"
"QUIET!" she said angrily. "Look, I'm Lisa. Now all I want to know is, are you John Silver? THE John Silver? Who traveled to Treasure Planet?"
The pirate didn't look surprised, but a little suspicious. "Yes..." he said slowly. Then he saw Lisa's eyes lit up.
"Wow! It's really you? I've read everything about your advenure to Treasure Planet! I've always wanted to go on an adventure like that, my friends think I'm crazy, but I think I just have been in this place too long, oh my goodness I can't believe you're here- What ARE you doing here anyway?" she talked so fast everything seemed to be in one sentence.
"Ummm...." Silver said, looking the girl up and down. "I was just taking a rest...Who are you again? And WHY did you stuff me in this closet?"
"Nevermind that! Why are you talking to those other pirates? Are you with them?"
Now he looked surprised. "What other pirates?"
Lisa's mouth dropped open. "You mean those AREN'T pirates?"
"Well, I had my suspicions, but they seemed harmless...."
"WAIT!" Lisa suddenly said loudly, and she cut him short. "I heard you saying you were heading back to meet Jim! Ohhh can I come with you?"
"Wait wait wait a minute!" he said loudly. "First of all, let's get out of this closet," he said, opening the door. "And second of all, why do you want to come with me?"
"I'm so sorry, I must be confusing you." Lisa began. "You see, all my life I've been wanted to sail out into space like you do. I've always dreamed of visiting other planets. I even wanted to become a pirate once."
John watched her as she looked dreamily at the door. "Well, I could use company, since my Morphy's gone....."
"Morph? How is he anyway?"
"I don't know. I'll know when I get back to see Jim."
"Oh we must leave now-" the girl stopped short when they heard a bang against the door.
"We know you're in there, Silver." snarled a voice. "Get back out here now!" There was another bang on the door.
"What's going on?" she asked nervously.
"I don't know!"
The banging grew harder. They were trying to break down the door! However they were. Lisa looked out of the key hole and realized they were the pirates who were sitting at the table.
"Are they after you?"
"They're after me loot!" he shouted, then his arm suddenly changed into a sword. He charged at the door and started chopping at them madly. Lisa came up from behind him as some of the pirates lay on the ground, not that badly hurt.
"Come on!" he roared as people in the restaurant started to run at them. Lisa saw the pirates getting up after they ran out the door.
"This is so exciting1" she said as Silver tried to hurry her out.
"Get in the boat!" he shouted. They both jumped onto the ship and were off on their way, just as the pirates burst out of the door.
"They're following me!" Silver said, and he sped the ship north.
"Now where do we go?" Lisa asked, looking back at the furious pirates.
"Montresser Space Port." Silver said with ease as they left the pirates behind.
