Hey All,
This is great. Tenth chapter. Yahoo!
Anyways. I do not own Amelia or any other Treasure Planet character I may use. They are Disney's and I respect that.
I do own Andrea, Terry, Amanda, David, Katherine, Colonel Fredrick and all the other cadets. Not that they mean much to me. The cadets that is.
Anyways enough talk. To the story!
Amelia woke up. She instantly noticed Andrea was gone. She won't stay in one place will she?
Amelia got off the bed stretching. She frowned, realizing she had fallen asleep in her uniform. She straightened it out and pulled on her boots. She pushed at the door, and closed it behind her. She moved the boxes in front of it.
"Captain?"
Amelia turned. "Hawkins. Good you're up." She gave him an evil grin.
"So why did you want me to be up so early?" He pointed to the window where the sky was black.
"I haven't given my speech yet. This voyage has hardly begun! Now go wake them all up."
Jim nodded and left. Amelia smiled and walked out after him. Her eyes instantly darted around looking for Andrea. There! Talking to Cadet Starth.
"So you could have come to the Academy but you chose not to? Why not go?"
"I didn't feel like it. Wanted some other education rather than barging into flying."
It appeared their topic of disscussion was about the Academy. Starth was at the helm. Amelia walked over to them.
"Starth, I do believe you don't sleep."
"I do, Captain. I only got this about ten minutes ago from Captain Hawkins." Great. That's why he was up. Because he had taken a night shift. Oh well, his loss of sleep. Amelia let her gaze switch over to the cadets appearing from below. All three of them pointed their ears to the conversations.
"I wonder why Captain wants us up at this time?"
"It's better than when Colonel Fredrick made us stand up all night. Just standing straight."
"Stupid Captain. What a.."
"Cadets. Up front and center." Amelia called out ignoring the comment, knowing what was to come next.
The stood up, all in a straight line. Amelia began pacing in front of them.
"You are on this ship to learn what it takes to have control over a ship. With that you must learn discipline and skill. It looks easy. Yell a few commands, order some of the crew around. Its not."
Amelia turned sharply facing them all.
"It takes quick wit. You must have at least simple navigational skills. Without that you are lost. I've seen you shoot. All of you did quite decently." She walked over to a cadet. "Even you cadet Hurlt."
He straightened up. Amelia walked back to Captain Hawkins.
"Any words, Captain?'
Jim was startled. He expected he would jsut stand there.
"Think you get to stand there and be a pretty boy, Captain?" Amelia raised an eyebrow at him.
"You need to be able to work with... ummm.." Jim forgot his words. The cadets seemed to be confused.
Amelia saw he had nothing else to say and continued on. "All sorts of species. You have to deal with angry mean Junres, and even sappy Gahurus." She paused as the cadets laughed.
"You must gain their trust. Unless of course you end up with a ship of pirates." Careful, Amelia. Amelia scolded herself. Don't want them thinking your full of jokes and kindness.
"Dismissed for now. But I want this deck mopped spotless. You get to decide who takes the job. It must be fair. You must learn to cooperate. But if I happen to see one of you deciding to take the easy way out. Politics, expect a low mark."
The cadets chuckled. Amelia went to her stateroom.
Andrea thought the speech had been rather odd. Mom sure is happy. Why?
"Andrea! Lost in your own thoughts?"
Andrea rolled her eyes, sighed and turned. "David."
"Yeah. Anyways I got a recap of you and Mom's fight."
"That's rather old now David."
"You were so unfair to Mom." The cadets who had been talking about mopping, turned to David and Andrea. Andrea put her ears dwon and glared at David. She winced, not liking the attention.
"Not here David!" She whispered in a strained voice.
"Why not?" David smiled.
"I don't like this."
"You chose to say what you said. Now you pay consequences. The Captain is her mother!" He yelled.
The cadets first stared at Andrea, who wanted to melt into a pile of nothing. Then their gaze snapped back to David.
A male came up. He was a Frainox. Human mixed with fox. "And are we supposed to care?"
David was confused.
He continued. "I've been on tons of trips wtih my Dad. It's a great learning experience. To you that is bad? Hmmm. Perhaps you, land lover, would care to talk to this" He lifted his fists. His tail was black with a white tip and slightly puffed out. His black ears on top of his head were twitching with annoyance. His eyes were slits. He had been in fights before. "I would rather be some bad Captain, than be a good one and let you get away with this."
David backed up and ran down into the galley. The Frainox smiled and dropped his fists. The cadets went back to talking.
Andrea grinned. The Frainox walked over to her.
"That was amusing."
"I got a brother. I know how annoying they can be. But.."
Andrea smirked. "Your father isn't a captain. I gathered that. You just happened not to like David from the first day. He told you to get mopping."
"Yeah. Oh by the way. Nice job with the pirate ship and all."
"It was rather good. I'm Andrea, and you are?"
"Some call my annoying one, some brat, some call me: can't wait till I can kick him out, thats from Colonel Fredrick."
"Any real names?"
He stuck out his hand. "Jake Krinsh." Andrea shook it.
"Ok then, Jake Krinsh." Jake laughed.
"Nah, I dont really like Jake."
Andrea put her hands on her hips and faked desperation. "Then what am I to call you?"
"Kep."
"Ok, Kep I can deal with."
"See you around."
"Same." Andrea walked over to Kat who was at the wheel.
"He likes you!"
"I daresay Kat, I will have you mopping the decks."
"No you won't and he likes you!"
"Sure. Anyways, you're always here at the helm. Why?"
"Best spot on the ship!"
"What ever." Andrea climbed the rigging and curled up in the crows nest.
There we go!!!!!!
Woohoo! ok then pelase review!
