Disclaimer: Jim and Company sadly is not mine. I'm hoping one day they will be though.

Days turned into weeks and weeks into months, as one by one they all seemed to fly by. Jim tried to do his work and found that he was thinking less and less about Golden Sun and more and more about Jen. The way her hair shimmered in the light and her eyes sparkled in the stars' reflections and that glowing smile formed by her crimson lips. How Jim wanted to kiss her lips. He dreamed about her and found he couldn't keep his eyes off of her whenever he saw her.

One day in his cabin, he was studying the maps, when moments later he got a dreamy look on his face. He shook his head then said, "No, I can't let this happen. I have a job to do and I can't let some… beautiful girl… Well, this isn't helping. Maybe I should take a walk outside to set my mind straight," and Jim got up from his desk and walked outside.

On the deck, Jen was mopping and humming a soft tune. She almost seemed like she was dancing around with the mop as she cleaned the deck. Jim then came out and looked down at her from the helm. A grin spread across his face as he saw the light dance upon her hair and make her eyes glitter. Her soft humming filled his mind with wonderful visions. Morph soon flew over to Jim and saw him staring at Jen. "She is so pretty," Jim said dreamily to himself.

"Pretty! Pretty!" chanted Morph, and Jen stopped for a moment, then thought the sound was from the breeze and went back to work.

Jim carefully watched every step she took, letting every pattern dance around in his head, and before he knew it Jen had finished and rested her chin on the handle of the mop sighing. She looked out across the sky, then turned around and saw Jim staring at her, with a dreamy look across his face. Jen's face turned as crimson red as her lips when she saw Jim. "Oh my… I… didn't know I was so entertaining to watch," she said trying to get the words out.

"No… no, I was just taking a break and came out here for some air," said Jim, as he had a hard time trying to get the look off of his face.

"Well, then you won't mind if I go into my cabin and rest," said Jen, and she picked up the mop and bucket and started walking towards him.

"Uh… no, not at all. Although, I would like to talk to you when you are done," said Jim and as fast as the grin had disappeared it reappeared.

"Alright, then I shall see you in an hour," nodded Jen, and she went into her cabin.

"I only hope that hour goes by fast," said Jim as he headed back to his maps with Morph following him, and then B.E.N. ran up behind then.

"I have some very important news to tell you, Captain Jimmy, sir," screamed B.E.N.

"Alright, B.E.N. come into my quarters with me," said Jim, and he paused for a moment. "And B.E.N."

"Yes, Sir?" responded B.E.N.

"Don't ever call me Jimmy, again," said Jim sternly, and he headed into his quarters.

"Alright, Captain Jimmy…. I mean Jim," said B.E.N., and he followed him into Jim's quarters and discussed some important matters about Golden Sun.

Jen grabbed her block of wood and her knife and sat down. She then started carving the wood and looked at the knife as she muttered to herself, "How can this be happening? He came out there to see me mop a deck. If I wasn't who I was, I could have sworn that the boy is falling in love with me. And I'll be damned if he does. I can't fall in love, and I won't give him a chance to fall in love with me," said Jen to herself, and then placed the blade on her arm and drew it down.

The blood then started pouring out of her arm as Jen let out a little cry of pain, and at that moment, Jim walked by her cabin to hear her cry. He knocked on her door, and said, "Jen, are you ok in there?"

"Ye…. Yes, I'm fine," said Jen trying not to sound like she was in pain. "Accidentally stubbed my toe, that's it."

"Alright, just let me know if you need any help," said Jim.

" I will," responded Jen, and Jim walked away. "That was too close. Now, how to make sure he doesn't see this before our next meeting?"

Jen walked into Jim's cabin to see him totally engrossed into his maps. He seemed so deep in thought that it would be a shame to bring him out of it, and Jen grinned at this. She then walked up to him and tapped him on the shoulder, "Captain, you wanted to speak with me?" she said, and Jim jumped out of his seat.

"Jen, you scared me," said Jim trying to pull himself together.

"I'm sorry," said Jen apologetically.

"It's fine, and please call me Jim. I'm not as strict as Captain Amelia," said Jim, winking at her.

Jen laughed, and said, "Alright, Jim."

"Now, have a seat. You don't have to stand," said Jim, as he stood up and helped her into a seat.

"Thank you," said Jen, and Jim smiled and sat down. "Now, what did you want to talk to me about?"

"Uhh… well…" started Jim trying to find something to talk about when Jen cringed in pain. "Are you sure you're ok?"

"I… uhh…. Yes, I'm fine. Really," said Jen kind of falling back a little grabbing her arm.

"No you're not," said Jim taking her arm, and he rolled up the blood stained sleeve to see the deep gash in her arm. "What happened?"

"My knife slipped and cut my arm. Nothing too bad, or at least enough to worry about," said Jen trying to take her arm back, but too weak to do so.

Jim then pulled out some bandages and started wrapping Jen's arm. "Well, if you were to not take care of that wound then it would be something to worry about. I mean where could I get another person to do your chores out here in the middle of no where?" said Jim with a laugh.

Jen laughed a little and looked down at Jim, who was taking his time in wrapping her arm. "You seem to be enjoying this," she said.

"And what would give you that idea?" he asked with a grin on his face.

"Well, you seem to be taking your time, and I heard you say I was pretty earlier," said Jen.

"Well, I could have always been talking about Captain Amelia," said Jim as he tied off her bandages and looked into her eyes.

"Would you really say that, Mr. Hawkins?" asked Amelia as she walked into his cabin, and Jim broke his gaze and looked up at her, his face scarlet.

"I think I'll take my leave now. Thank you, Jim. Good day, Captain," said Jen, and she left, giggling to herself.

Amelia nodded towards Jen, then closed the door and sat down in front of Jim. "How are those maps coming, Mr. Hawkins?" she asked.

"They're coming along," responded Jim.

"And what about the crew? Are they getting everything done?" asked Amelia.

"Yes, I say everything seems to be ship shape," replied Jim.

"And have you fallen in love with Miss. Rose?" asked Amelia standing up with a grin.

"Yes, I have," said Jim then covered his mouth with his hand realizing what he had just said. "I mean…" started Jim, and he stood up then slapped his forehead.

"Just as I thought. Bringing her in here for no reason at all, and not finishing the maps, but daydreaming about her," said Amelia glancing at the maps.

"How… how did you know that?" asked Jim, with his jaw almost touching the ground.

"You've always got a dreamy look on your face, and your work isn't done," said Amelia. "You need to finish your work, Mr. Hawkins."

"I know, I know. I just can't help thinking about her. I mean, how could I not think about her?" said Jim, sitting down and sighing. "Does anyone else know?"

"No, I don't believe so, and I won't tell anyone else if that is what you wish," said Amelia.

Jim nodded. "Yes, please don't tell anyone. If this got out, the crew may not respect me anymore, and then what kind of a Captain would I be?"

"Jim, it is alright. You can't help feeling that way. And you know the crew is going to find out eventually, and Miss. Rose will find out quickly. She is a very smart girl," said Amelia.

"Yes, she is. Well, I'll tell her one of these days, just not now. I need some time to think about everything," said Jim, and he sat down at his desk and looked over his maps.

"Of course. I will leave you be with your maps and your thoughts now," said Amelia and she took her leave and closed the door leaving Jim alone as Morph flew in.

"What am I going to do, Morph? I can't get anything done unless I tell her or know that she feels the same way about me," said Jim with a sigh.

"Tell her! Tell her!" chanted Morph.

"You're right, Morph," said Jim. "I'll tell her tonight, right after dinner," and Jim felt more confident in him- self and got back to his maps, actually getting some work done this time.

Jim, please stop daydreaming and get back to work. I promise you will get more work done that way. I want to see some of your work in the next chapter, although I highly doubt that will happen.

Don't forget to hit that Review button.

Sorry about taking forever to update. Once school started my time went to that, dance class, and work. So, I'll update as often as I can.

Earth Queen- I promise, all will be revealed, and I'm working on correcting B.E.N's name for the rest of the chapters. Thanks for correcting me on that; it was late when I wrote this up. And the reason I'm having B.E.N act the way he does is because I take it to be part of his programming to be a little goofy. His memory circuit is connected, as you can tell, but for all we know, he could have had a little glitch in him to make him do some crazy, human things. Like have an accident that anyone could possibly have. I know I tripped at my graduation practice and fell down.

Orangegoggles and kuro akki fuzen- I'm glad you are both enjoying this so far. I promise there will be more chapters ahead in the future.
