Hello,
To anyone actually reading this... Thanks alot!
To my friends. Wow.... Can't believe you can't even remember a sentence of this.
Anyways, I do not own Amelia or any other Treasure Planet character I refer to. They are Disney's and I respect that.
But Andrea, Terry, Mandy, David and the pointless cadets are mine!
Yeah I know.. That was really bad!
Jim kicked at the deck. He had wanted to see Silver again. BUt he knew he should've done it a different way. Now andrea was badly hurt and a few of the cadets were injured. He stared at the sky.
"Never should have done this."
Amelia dug through her desk. On the outside it appeared neat and tidy. Inside it was a mess of papers and pens. She looked over papers, and found what she needed.
"Dear Captain Amelia Randon,"
Jim came into the room, closing the door behind him. He sat in a chair. Amelia took no notice of him.
" We are pleased to ask you to take Captain over a group of 4 year cadets. The cadets need an experienced captain and you may bring along a few other members. We are also pleased to inform you that Captain James Pleadies Hawkins will go with you. Both of you will have command over the ship though you have more years on, Captain Hawkins and will have authority over him. Please, blah blah blah. And that continues on. Sounds like a simple assignment, doesn't it Hawkins?"
Amelia looked over the paper with cold eyes. Jim said nothing.
"Captain Hawkins, may I request why it does not say what coordinates we would be taking? Why was that in your knowledge alone. Why wasn't I informed?"
JIm looked up at Amelia who was as calm as ever.
"I requested to be in the area."
"For what reason? Though I know the answer.
Jim stared at the floor.
"Captain, you have caused cadets to be injured because of your want to see a friend.
"But, I didn't know they were after you!" Jim blurted out. Amelia's eyes narrowed.
"Really?"
"I never knew you were a Randon!"
"Thats nice, Hawkins. I really don't care. I know the price that's held for my head. Thats why.." Amelia stopped and and stretched her fingers. Jim winced at her sharp, black claws. "I did not want to come into a pirate area. I presumed you had chosen where we would go and choose a respectable area. You put the cadets in danger and." Amelia leaned forward her face an inch from Jim's. "my children." She backed up and waited for his response.
Jim looked terrified. He swallowed and spoke. " But what about Silver?"
"The ropes. Captain, he's a pirate and I shouldn't even have to plead my case to you. If he is gone, you will be on the line and I will not defend you."
Jim lowered his head. She got me into the Academy and defended me when things got bad. I can't throw this friendship away.
Amelia did not like doing this to Jim, but he had acted outrageously. Now Andrea had paid the price for it and he didn't have a scratch on him.
Jim got up and left. He leaned on the railing and sighed. But his gaze looked over to Andrea who as at the very nose of the ship.
Andrea was still in her spot.
"You get off of there!"
Andrea turned her head. A cadet as yelling at her. She smiled and then looked terrified.
"I can't! I'll fall!"
The cadet ran and fetched rope. He came out as for as he could and tossed it. Andrea made pathetic attempts to get it andf then finally got it. She began crawling her way to the cadet and then swung and was upside down like a sloth.
"Oh no! Save me!"
The cadet was petrified. Andrea let go grabbing the front of the ship. She dug her claws in and waited.
"NOOOOOOOOOO!!!" She screamed as if she had fallen off.
"Miss! Noooo!"
Andrea chuckled and climbed up. The cadet's back was turned. Good. She grabbed the ropes and climbed up. She landed right in front of the cadet who stared at her.
"I dare say I fail you miserably. Did you not see me before? I killed by that? Next time don't bother me."
The cadet stood there shocked. Andrea turned and walked right into Jim.
"Hello Captain." She smiled.
"What was that?"
"I presume by the tone of your voice, you actually saw what I was doing, so in fact you know what I was doing, so why are you asking?" Andrea drew herself up. She was taller then Jim and her look reminded Jim instantly of Amelia.
"Look at you. You're a mess and your pulling pranks?" Jim grabbed her arm and started to take her to the medic room. Andrea went along with it. Jim should know by now she hated such things. They went up the stairs and into the medic room. The ship's doctor looked up and gasped. He took Andrea and set her on a chair.
"How long has this been bleeding?" He indicated her shoulder while he bandaged her side.
"I don't know. Hour or two."
"What? You should have come to see me straight away! You must have lost litres of blood."
He wiped her shoulder clean and bandaged it, too.
"Well then, Captain. Now that I've been fixed up can I leave?"
The doctor answered. "No, no. You must rest and drink fluids!"
Andrea stared at him like he was insane. "Can I see your degree?"
Jim cut in. "Don't show it to her or let her have it. She'll rip it up."
The doctor laughed. "I've had that happen alot. Most by accident. The Medical Board has me on file. I just get them to send me a new one."
"She'll go on file and destroy that. Then if you lose your certificate its pointless for you to try and help people."
Andrea smiled and got up from the chair. The doctor pushed her back down. "Stay there."
"Why? I am not some child that needs to be looked after." She got up again and made for the door.
The doctor smiled. "Fine. Captain please escort her to her bed. Have someone keep her there."
Jim smiled and grabbed Andrea's hand. Andrea let herslf be led out of the room and below deck. Then she whipped her hand away and ran. Her side was hurting her badly now and her shoulder was a dull thud of pain. She ran up the stairs onto the deck. Jim followed with a few cadets. Andrea looked around frantically and jumped up and climbed the rigging. Cadets followed. Why are they wasting their time to fetch me? I must be hated. Good. I don't like them.
Andrea waited until mst of the cadets had climbed up the rigging she swung down and landed in a heap right in front of the ship's wheel. The Cascona at the wheel helped her up.
"Keep running, Andrea." The cadet turned and blocked some of the others.
"Owwwww." Andrea complained as she ran. She kicked open the stateroom door. Amelia looked up. But a cadet was right behind her. She grabbed Andrea and pulled her back. Cadets came and they began to carry her.
Amelia came out of the stateroom and stared. Andrea was hissing furiously.
"What is this?"
The cadets all stopped dead. They put Andrea down, who scrambled up and stood beside Amelia.
"Umm well, Captain."
"Speak up now. Colonel Fredrick is far more terrifying than I am."
The Cascona who had helped Andrea spoke out. "I'd be happy to tell you Ma'am."
"Good. And you are?"
"Cadet Katherine Starth at your service. Now let's see. Captain Hawkins escorted the girl to the medic room. And she came out with him bandaged up. She let herself to be led below and then came right back up again with cadets and Captain Hawkins in pursuit. She ran around and climbed the rigging. She swung down and I sucked and landed right here. I helped her up and stopped a few cadets. Then as she opened the door a cadet caught her. And you see the rest."
"Thankyou, Miss Starth. Let's here some one else's side of the of the story. Or is it that Miss Starth here has it all correctly? Because I can assure you I believe her over any of you."
A call came from the back. "Racist!"
Amelia snarled. "Who said that?"
Cadets moved leaving a sorrowful looking human. Amelia looked him over and memorized him.
"Cadet Hurlt. How pleasant of you. I am pleased to say you all will make wonderful Captains." Amelia paused as the cadets looked relieved. "of pirate ships." They stood there with their mouths hanging. "Good day." She turned and walked into the stateroom. Andrea followed.
Andrea fell into the chair. Amelia made her way to her desk and began looking for something.
Andrea looked over her hands and arms. They were scratched up form falling and the cadets rough handling. Absentmindly she began to lick at her right hand, trying to get it to stop bleeding. Ameliastepped and she was right in front of Andrea, who took no notice.
"Andrea?" Amelia's voice was soft with concern.
Andrea jumped and then recoiled and clutched her side, which was now throbbing with a huge amount of pain for her quick movement.
"Am I that startling?"
"No, no. I just didn't see you." Andrea smiled slightly realizing Amelia was right in front of her.
"I have been looking over resources and nearby areas where we must make a stop off." Amelia handed Andrea a map. Andrea took it eagerly and ignored her pain.
"Well, there's Throk Nook, Frynat, Trak Took, and...."
"Yes, Cressian. I have decided that I will step a foot onto that planet. I want to see my aunt again."
Andrea was delighted but confused. I suppose she means her aunt's grave.
"Shall we go there then?"
"You're asking me? Of course!"
"Good." Amelia could see how delighted Andrea was and hadn't seen her that way in a long time.
"But you must get rest."
Andrea knew she should, but she might as well put up a fight.
"I heard when you were injured you wouldn't stay in the hospital for more than 6 hours and they threatened to strap you to a bed. And it was much more serious than mine."
"Ludicrous. The doctors that is. I would have none of their poking and prodding. In bed for two weeks! Absolutely absurd."
Andrea smiled. Amelia looked to her.
"Fine, fine you've made your point. Please."
"What go to bed where mine is? I'll have nothing to do with those cadets."
"Then stay here. I really don't mind."
Andrea got up slowly and made her way over to boxes. She pushed them aside and then pushed against the wall. Which wasn't the wall but a door. She walked in closing it behind her.
Amelia called after her. "Don't lock the door!"
"Yep."
The door shut and Amelia pushed boxes in front of it making it a wall again. She stepped out of the stateroom and looked around.
Jim stood up from his crouched position. Amelia was mad and he had caused it. He slumped against the mast.
"Hawkins?"
Jim spun around.
"Captain! I wanted to talk to you."
"And I you."
Jim jumped at the chance. "I' m sorry for what I did. I acted with no responsibility."
Amelia smiled. "I am glad you chose to apologize. Andrea, is.." She stopped thinking of words. "a complicated person and you can't force her to do anything. Suggest it, never order her."
"If she goes to the Academy, they'll."
"I know perfectly well what they'll do. Kick her out. But I don't think I'll send her to the Interstellar Academy. But thats not the point. Her actions were not suitable but she knows no other way to react. Mostly, I think she had no choice."
"She really acted the only way she could. Is she ok now?"
"Well, she would like to think she is."
Jim chuckled and thought of something grave.
"What about Silver?"
Amelia turned to the stars and did not let Jim see her face. "I will turn him in, Jim. I'm afraid he was on that ship. And if he hadn't been I would have let him go. I'll try to convince them just to jail him."
Jim said nothing. Amelia couldn't let Silver go anyways, not on a ship full of cadets that would tell on her in a second.
"Well Hawkins, I do believe we never gave a speech to keep them in line. Tomorrow morning alright? Early, very early. Get some sleep."
Amelia turned and walked back to her stateroom. She closed the door and went over to the wall. She pushed aside the boxes and pushed her way into the room. Its was a nice size room, with a queen sized bed in the corner. Small desk and chair. She locked the door and pulled off her boots. Andrea was curled up in the corner of the bed, with an open book beside her. She purring softly.
Amelia smiled and curled up beside her.
There you have it! Yahoo!
