Authors Note: I'm going cliff hanger crazy XD laughs evilly Okay, So Davie was in the last chapter, I lied. Sorry but I forgot he appeared at the end of the chapter. . Sorry I haven't been making chapters in a while but I had a bad case of writers block GAH! I hate it when that happens! XC And I'm trying to wrap this story up quickly because I want to start my remake of Treasure Planet soon. It's gonna be the same general idea and theme except it will contain more of Silver's point of view and Silver's cabin-girl, Auggie gives a playful wink ;)
I do apologize if I get any alien names wrong, I have no TP books whatsoever (wish I did) so I am not familiar with all the correct terms and names of the aliens creatures and if I do get any names wrong you may correct me but don't act all smart-ass about it please. :3
Next chapter will come when I stop backing myself into corners like that XP GAH! MORE WRITERS BLOCK! XP
Chapter 6: Davie had been discovered
Jim Silver and Morph stared at Davie for a moment. Jim stared at disbelief and utter shock of the little canine child he now held in his hands. Davie just grinned, not in triumph but more or less to over come the shock of being found. This shock only lasted for a few seconds however as Jim set Davie down in the boat, gently but sternly.
"Davie," Jim began slowly still quite shocked and confused. "How did you get in my bag?" Davie didn't look directly at Jim he kept his gaze down at the floor. "Davie, look at me." Jim said gently. Davie turned his gaze towards Jim but stopped when he saw Silver sitting right next to him. This caught him by shock and he instantly toppled backwards in surprise he knew that Silver was close from his point of view in the bag, he just hadn't realized how close. Silver slightly chuckled at this and turned over to Jim.
"Jimbo, who is this lad?" Jim glanced over at Silver as he helped Davie up. "This is Davie, he was supposed to be back at the Inn but...I guess he followed me here." Jim shrugged. Davie sat down in the boat. Silver looked at Davie from head to toe examining him. Until Silver finally said, "I wonder if we met b'fore he looks kinda familiar..." Silver said rubbing his chin trying to figure where he saw the little canid. Jim sighed. "He should he's one of the Doc's kids." Silver looked over at Jim. "Th' Doctor?"
"Yeah." Jim said. "I guess I forgot to tell you, he got married to Amelia and they had four children."
Silver looked at Jim then at Davie. He chuckled. "The Cap'n an the Doctor, who'd figure they'd end up togeter eh? A canid and a feline now at's someting ya' don't see everyday. I guess at's why Davie looks familiar, looks just like the Doc!"
Davie shrugged a little bit uneasy he didn't like it when people told him he looked like his father even though it was true. He looked remarkably similar to Doppler (cause he was the same species). But he still looked a bit different from him. He wore clothes that were way to big for him, probably hand-me-downs from Jim. (Doppler was still paying off the damages from the voyage to Treasure Planet so he couldn't afford good clothes). Unlike his father he didn't wear glasses because he didn't need them. His hair was not tucked back like his dad's but sort of went over his eyes in a messy hair style. Doppler and Amelia tried there best to make his hair look nice but it was always for naught. So his hair sat a brown rats nest on his head. His eyes were the most that stood out though. They were not a dark amber brown, but a bright intense blue. When you looked into his eyes you can not help feel sympathy for him, even if you don't even know what his problem is. But still he looked sort of like The Doctor in a odd way.
Silver looked at Davie as if waiting for a reply. "What's wrong lad, cat got your tongue!" Silver chuckled still obviously joking about The Doctor's and Captain's marriage.
Davie gave a little slight high pitched wheeze. (Which you remember is his way of laughing). Silver looked at him in a odd way. Not necessarily mean, more of concerned and puzzled. Jim saw Silver's confused look on his face and decided he better explain. "Um...That's Davie's way of laughing Silver, you see he can't speak he's um...mute." Jim said trying to explain this as the best way he could without hurting Davie's feelings and trying to say it as short as possible.
Silver thought about this for a moment, glanced back and forth between Jim and Davie. "So, ya can't talk." Silver said looking at Davie. Davie shook his head at Silver but he couldn't help smiling. There standing right in front of him was the cyborg that Jim has always mentioned, the one he herd stories about. He always used to have dreams of Treasure Planet, Flint, and Silver all mixed up into one dream. He never thought he would stand face to face with one of these legends, yet here he was, 'talking' to him.
Silver looked at Davie, "What ya got that grin on yer face fer lad?" Davie just shrugged sheepishly. Jim stared at Davie loathly. He wondered how in the world did Davie get inside his bag and why the heck did he go in there in the first place? What purpose would it serve? And Jim asking all these questions in his head knew even if he asked them out loud, they would never be answered.
Jim recalled when Davie was holding on to Jim at the Benbow, not wanting to let go of him for a reason. Maybe- Jim sighed and asked Davie, "Davie...back at the Benbow, did you want to go with me to The Spaceport?"
Davie turned his head back at Jim in a swift motion, a bit shocked at Jim's question, that he actually interpreted it after a while. Davie nodded his head solemnly but sincerely. Jim sighed. "Davie, you shouldn't pull off stunts like that! Man the doc is ever gonna be in a fit when I bring you home!" Jim said rolling his eyes. Davie smiled and chuckled. Jim looked at Davie. "Davie, if you want to go to the Spaceport again, try telling somebody first." Davie curled his upper lip, thinking, and then without even attempting to make a sound, formed his right hand into a moon shape and sort of tilted it on it's side slightly.
Jim looked at the hand sign and as if interpreting another language nodded. "That'll do" he said. Davie put his hand down and smiled. Davie knew only a little bit of sign language, cause there weren't many books on it anymore, mostly books about foreign languages from other planets and galaxies. So Davie had to make up his own signs. Mostly on most of the things and people he knew: Jim, Mrs. Hawkins, Dad, Mom, Suzie, Amy, Kitten, Benbow Inn, B.E.N., Morph...mostly nouns. And when something new came across him he usually made a new sign for it. The hard part was getting everyone to know what that sign meant. But even though he had this way of communication it was still completely difficult for people to understand what he's trying to say. So he hardly used the signs anyway.
Silver glanced from Jim to Davie watching this. He then glanced at Morph. Who smiled and shouted, "Sign! Sign!" And turned into a little Spaceport moon, imitating the same motions of Davie's hand. Silver looked at Davie. "So at's what ya were doing." Silver said looking down at the child. Jim and Davie smiled. "Yeah, he's got certain signs for certain things." Jim said.
Silver looked at Davie, "Everyting?" he said smiling.
Davie blushed a little. Jim laughed. "Well not everything, but most of everything, just mostly people, places and words he knows."
Silver grinned at Davie. "And ya make up all those yerself!"
Davie face flushed with embarrassment even more but he smiled and nodded his head, so quickly and vigorously that Silver was sure that Davie's head would fall off his shoulders. Silver laughed. "Slow down Davy, we wouldn't want to lose that head of yours would we?"
Davie gave a slight laugh and shook his head.
Jim smiled. Despite Davie's surprising entrance, he and Silver had managed to be good friends almost instantly. Jim chuckled remembering how long it took for him and Silver to become actual friends and could trust each other fully. It must have been at least five days or so. Jim remembered there where many times when he could trust Silver and many times that he couldn't. When he first arrived on the Legacy Jim didn't trust Silver at all, even like him for that matter. It was like being on a roller coaster. One time he could trust him, the other time he couldn't. The only time he could remember when they gained each others respect was when Silver had proven himself (and Jim) that he could sacrifice a life long obsession in order to save Jim.
Jim reached down into his bag. And pulled out two sandwiches cut in halves. "Who's hungry." Jim said smiling. Davie raised his hand up high with a broad grin, looking up at Silver with admiration. Jim grinned at the both of them, tossed a sandwich to Davie, who caught it. And was already handing his half to Silver before he had a chance to protest. Silver looked at Davie and Jim and smiled. He grabbed the sandwich and replied, "Okay lads, looks like you shag hied me!"
