Chapter Two:

Dav inserted his envelope sealed letter in the mailbox outside his house. He closed the mailbox door and put the flag up. As soon as he did this, you could see beams of bright fluorescent light shining through the cracks of the mailbox. The light faded. Dav opened the mailbox. The letter was no longer there, it was being sent to the other mailbox at Silver's address. He put the flag down. He didn't know why, but he felt a little nervous when he sent the letter. Like someone was watching, but no one was.

Dav went back to his room. It was still a wreak. He sighed angrily as he looked at the piles of junk on the floor. He began to kick a path towards his bed, (the only thing Amy hadn't trashed) and sat down. He glared at the mountains of junk. "Don't just sit there! Pick yourself up!" He yelled at the floor of his room. He got no response. "Don't give me that look!" Dav sighed and flopped onto his bed again. "I'm having a conversation with my bedroom." He said rubbing his temple, hardly believing his own foolishness.

"Um...Knock Knock?"

Dav glanced at his doorway. His other sister, Suz was standing there with a small grin on her face. She had blond long curly hair, with her bangs grown out. She was wearing jeans and a t-shirt with a saying on it as usual. Today's saying: 'I'm hot your not, get used to it'. Although the t-shirt may lead you to believe Suz is selfish and bratty, that's not true. Quite the opposite. She is nicer to Dav then Amy and Kit are. She always loves to help around the house, cooking, and cleaning but she also liked fun and daring stuff. Solar Surfing is her kind of sport. Dav likes Solar Surfing too. They have a lot in common, it's easy to believe that they're related. Which Dav wishes he could say the same for Amy. Dav and Suz actually get along pretty well for siblings.

Dav sighed and looked up at the ceiling. "What do you what?" He asked in a rather ruder voice then he intended. Suz didn't get mad at her brother she smiled at him.

"Hey Dav, some of us are gonna go Solar Surfing down by the boarding plains. I already called Jim's mom, she said we could barrow his Solar Surfer. Wanna come?" She said all this very fast and excitedly.

Jim couldn't bring his Solar Surfer to collage, it wasn't aloud. So he left it at home with his mother. He let the Doppler family borrow it any time they wished. Usually Dav loved to go solar surfing. He could do it till sun down if he wanted too but he was kinda in a gloomy mood today.

Suze's eyes darted around Dav's messy room. " Woah! What happened here? Looks like a twister hit this place!"

"Amy. That's what."

Suz placed her hands on her hips. "That's what got ya all sour? Oh Dav...Come on let's go catch some air! It'll take your mind of Aims!" She said as she pulled his arm trying to get him out of his bed. Dav didn't budge.

"No. I don't wanna."

"Dav, you can't stay in your room forever!" She said placing her hands on her hips again.

Dav turned his back towards her and faced the bedroom wall.

"Watch me!" He closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.

"Dav, I know your awake!"

Dav didn't face her. He gave some loud fake snores. Suz gave Dav a cross look. He persisted making fake snores not facing her.

He always got this way at the end of summer break. Seemed like he always got depressed around September. Of corse she gets a little down that summer is over, but Dav feals like he doesn't want to do anything at all during the last few minutes of summer. Suz got an idea. She gave a sly smile out of the corner of her mouth.

"Okay Dav! You win!" She walked out of Dav's messy room.

Dav kept making fake snoring sounds as he herd her footsteps fade. He couldn't hear her. He stopped 'snoring'. He opened one eye. It was very suspicious for Suz to give up that easily. Usually she's very persistent. He opened his other eye. Was she gone? He turned in his bed so he faced the doorway. He wanted to check if she left. He saw his feline sister running strait towards him!

Dav immediately grabbed the closest thing next to him to shield himself! (which happed to be his pillow). He held his pillow in front of his face. He cringed, bracing himself for the tackle...but it never came. He opened his eyes again. Did she leave? Maybe she was running to her room that was next to his. Yes...Yes...that was it. He slowly lowed his pillow away from his face, still quite unconvinced that she left. His eyes peered over his pillow. Suz was right directly in front of him! It was as if she got a running head start, and stopped when she reached her target. Which was exactly what she did.

"Hello Brother!" She grinned. Dav tried to defend himself, but it was too late. She jumped up on him in a full blown tackle. Dav and Suz toppled backward on his bed. They rolled around, each of them trying to get the upper hand. Then suddenly Suz began tickling Dav, holding him down. Dav tried to wrestle her off him, but it's hard when your laughing too death. Suz gave an evil grin as she began to show no mercy.

"OH-GOD-SUZ! STOP!" Dav managed to say. Suz kept tickling him. Dav tried to the best of his ability to shield himself, but it did no good, Suz knew where all of Dav's ticking spots were. Which was pretty easy to figure out anyway, considering Dav was pretty ticklish.

"Never!" Suz said in her false evil voice. Dav was laughing so hard, he thought he would explode.

"STOP! OH! OH! HEAVEN! STOP!" Suz stopped and smiled at Dav, who was panting, holding his chest.

"Y-you...trying...ta...kill...me?"

"Maybe..." She grinned evilly and started ticking him again. Dav began pant-laughing for breath again. She stopped and grabbed his blue notebook that was still lying on his bed. "Oh what's this?" she said evilly. Dav immediately sat up, although he was winded from Suz's tickle attack.

"Gimme...that...back..." Dav panted. Suz grinned. She knew very well what Dav's notebook was and how much it meant to him.

"Ya gonna go Solar Surfing with me?"

"I...told you...I don't wanna...go...Solar Surfing, now gimmie it back!"

Suz gave an mischievous grin. "Try to take it from me then!" and with that she ran out of his room. Dav quickly followed her, making random grabs at his notebook. She was running backwards, (although carefully) holding his notebook out to him, then yanking it back.

"Come on Dav! Ya want it? Work for it!"

Dav missed his notebook again. "Suz, Suz, Come on Suz give it back!" He said desperately as he tried to grab it again. Suz then rolled his notebook into a telescope shape and looked through it.

"Smile for the Camera Dav!"

Dav tried to grab his notebook again but missed. "Oh! Hey! Come on! This is not my bar mitzah! Now give it back!" He joked. Suz grinned. She saw Dav was smiling.

"Sounds like ya really want it back!" she teased sarcastically.

"I DO! Now.."

Suz tossed him his notebook. Dav stumbled back a few steps but he caught it. He looked at her confused. She had her hands on her hips and was smiling at Dav.

"Now will you go Solar Surfing with me?" She sighed.

Dav looked up at her and smiled. "Do I have a choice?"

A few moments later, Suz and Dav were down by the boarding plains of Montressor by the Benbow Inn, taking turns on Jim's Solar Surfer. Dav was sitting on one of the docks, his feet dangling over the edge, drawing in his notebook. It was Suz's turn.

"Hey Dav ya watchin? Ya watchin?" She said to him as she paused the surfer in mid air. Dav rolled his eyes and glanced up from his drawing. "Yes, I'm watching, get on with it!"

"Check this out!" she said excitedly.

Suz immediately put the sail down. She forcefully accelerated Jim's solar surfer. She flew strait up into the air. Her eyes and ears narrowed, as a sign of intense focus. When she thought she was high enough, she did a 380 degree turn still accelerating hard! She span around so fast she looked like a blur. Dav's eyes widened. She dropped the acceleration, and turned the nose of the solar surfer strait down in a dive. She whizzed past Dav. Dav looked down. She was still diving! Then all of a sudden she tilted backwards her hands almost touching the board, and pressed the button with her foot that made the sail shoot up immediately! The sudden deploy of the sail caused the solar surfer to rise up so suddenly and severely, she was now level with the dock again.

She grinned in triumph as she began to unstrap herself from Jim's solar surfer.

"And that's how Suz does it!" She said as she hopped onto the dock.

"Woah!" Dav exclaimed. "That was amazing! Awesome! How did you-Where did you learn that?"

Suz shrugged modestly. "Made it up as I went along. Ya think ya can top it?" she handed Dav Jim's solar surfer. Dav set his notebook on the dock. "Totally!" He began to strap himself in. Suz picked up Dav's notebook. "Why did you bring this along anyway? Do you ever stop drawing?" Dav gave her a small smile. "Nope. Besides, drawing here is good practice anyway."

"Whatta ya mean?"

"Check the last page I drew on last." Dav said as he made sure he was strapped in tight, he didn't want to fall of the solar surfer.

Suz skimmed through Dav's notebook. She saw drawings of aliens, robots, some characters off of a T.V. show, a pirate skull, and then she turned to the last page with drawings on it. She gave an impressive gasp. It was her. It looked like a snap shot! Dav drew Suz when she was accelerating up on Jim's solar surfer. It looked just like her. It was a pretty rough drawing. You could still see all the outlines and stuff but the detail was there. She passed her hand over the page and looked at Dav.

"Dav, this is amazing! I swear, Leonardo Da Vinci couldn't do better! You're an artist!"

Dav shrugged. "Hey no big deal! I see something I draw it!" He accelerated the solar surfer out farther so he could get started. "Guard my notebook kay?"

"Don't worry Dav, it's in good hands!" She gave him a mischievous smile. Dav rolled his eyes.

He immediately put the sail down as he began falling...falling. He began to spin around as he was falling in complicated angles. He deployed the sail and hit the acceleration and shot strait up. As he shot up he put the sail down again and did a 380 spin in mid air followed by one flip, no two, four! He did four strait flips in the air! And with that, he deployed the sail and looked at Suz triumphantly hovering in mid-air. She was shouting something excitedly to him but he couldn't hear her. And it looked like someone was behind her but he couldn't tell who it was. He flew nearer towards her.

"Ya say something?" The man behind her smiled at Dav.

"Well those are some pretty good moves! Glad ta see my solar surfer isn't rusting in my closet."

Dav's eyes widened. He looked at the man intensely, examining him. He looked about the age of twenty or so. He was wearing a gray leather coat over a black t-shirt, and some blue jeans. His bangs were almost covering his deep blue eyes. He had some facial hair on his chin. It was a very thin beard. If you were to even call it that. Was this Jim? He looked so...different...so older...so mature! Dav looked at the young man's face. He looked into his blue eyes. It was the same eyes Jim had. He still had that same boyish look about him.

"Jim?" Dav asked bewildered as he began to unstrap himself from Jim's solar surfer as fast he could. The young man laughed. "Yeah Davie, it's me! Wow, my mom was right you have grown!" His voice sounded deeper and older, but you could tell it was still the same person. Dav finally got himself out of the solar surfer and hopped onto the dock. "So have you...A LOT!" Dav said still gawking at Jim.

"I didn't think you'd be here this fast!" Suz said to Jim. Jim shrugged.

"Hey I just wanted to see what was going on before the ceremony starts!" Jim looked at both of them.

"Wow, last time I saw you two were only about five years old! Now look at ya!"

Dav just kept staring at Jim, bewildered. He learned from his mother that it's not polite to stare but he couldn't help it. He knew Jim would look older, but he hadn't pictured him like this! The look of bewilderment must of shown on Dav's face because Jim said to him, "Hey Davie, I may look older but I'm the same person okay?"

Dav looked at the floor of the dock, embarrassed.

"It's Dav." Dav said pointy as he grabbed his notebook of the dock. Jim rolled his eyes. He looked at the blue notebook Dav held in his hands.

"Whatta got there Dav?" Dav shrugged.

"Jus' some drawings."

Suz beamed at Dav. "There better then that! There creations! Genius! Pure Genius!" she socked Dav's shoulder. Dav rubbed his shoulder and shrugged. "There not that great..."

Jim looked at the two. "Can I see?" He asked referring to Dav's notebook. Dav handed Jim his notebook. "Yeah here." Jim looked at the pictures impressed. He found the pirate skull symbol. He looked at it. "You drew this?" He asked as he stared at the detail. Dav nodded. It looked so identical to the pirate flag Jim saw rise over Treasure Planet 15 years earlier. "Did you look at something? I mean a picture for reference maybe?" Dav shook his head, 'no'.Jim looked at the symbol smiling, recalling all the trouble those pirates put him through, yet so much adventure. He placed his hand on Dav's head and ruffled his already messy hair.

"You're an artist, ya know that don't ya?"

Dav shrugged and brushed Jim's hand away, half embarrassed, half nonchalant. "I just draw because I like too, I mean...I'm not doing for money or nothing, I just like too draw is all."

Jim turned the page and saw the rough sketch of Suz. Jim smiled again and looked at Dav.

'Man this kid doesn't even know he has a talent!' Jim handed Dav's notebook back to him.

Jim, Dav, and Suz walked into the Benbow Inn. Jim smiled at his home. It was just how he remembered it after they rebuilt it. So many memories.

"Guess who's back!" Jim said as he took his jacket off and hanged it up. Sarah, who wasn't really listening was working by the kitchen area. She glanced at the door.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll be right.." Then she turned back at the door to make sure she wasn't seeing things.

"Jim!" She exclaimed happily. B.E.N., who just herd Jim's name bursted out of the kitchen door.

"JIMMY?" His robotic blue eyes darted around the Inn hopping to see some sign of his old buddy. Even though about 15 years passed, B.E.N. still looked the same. He had the same eyes, the same look about him, even his same annoying nature. Jim could tell he hadn't changed one bit. B.E.N. spotted Jim but he didn't realize it was him. Jim figured it would take B.E.N. an eternity before he figured out he was Jim.

"B.E.N.!" Jim said to get his attention. B.E.N. looked at Jim. He immediately dashed up to him.

"Hello faithful customer! Welcome to the Benbow Inn! Would you like a room sir?" Jim rolled his eyes and gave a slight laugh. 'Well he has the greeting thing down.' Jim thought. Jim smiled at the crazy old robot.

"B.E.N...It's me!"

B.E.N.'s eyes popped as a sign of surprise. He squinted at Jim, as checking to make sure he wasn't a poser. "Nah-nah-no! Your not Jimmy! Jimmy was smaller...and didn't have a beard!"

Jim rolled his eyes. Sarah went up to Jim. "Jim...Look at you!" Sarah smiled at him speechless. Jim gave his mother a hug. B.E.N. glared at Jim, still quite unconvinced that this was the same 'Jimmy' He meet about 15 years ago. "Who are you! What have you done with Jimmy!"

Dav shrugged. "B.E.N... this is Jimmi- I mean Jim."

Suz smiled. "Yeah B.E.N...now hug him like ya always do and don't be an idiot." She teased, referring that B.E.N. basically hugged every living thing in the galaxy. B.E.N. looked at Jim, his robotic-telescope eyes screeching out and examining every inch of him. Jim grabbed B.E.N.'s eyes and brought them level with his face.

"B.E.N.! It's me...years pass and some of us grow older!" he threw his eyes back into his head. B.E.N. rubbed his eye sockets recovering from the sudden movement. B.E.N. clutched his head and gave Jim a very clueless look that Jim saw similar on Treasure Planet when he was trying to remember his name. Sometimes still to this day Jim wonders if he has ALL his mind back.

"Uhh...This makes no sense..ya- ya can't be Jimmy!" Jim smiled at the clueless robot, although he is annoying, you do miss him after awhile.

"And why not!"

"Well...Cause...cause..." B.E.N. was trying to think of a good reason but nothing came to him. "Cause..."

"Cause?" Jim asked making fun of B.E.N.'s bumbling. B.E.N. glared at Jim and tried to make up an excuse.

"Cause...Cause..." B.E.N. couldn't think of anything. He suddenly shouted (louder then he usually does) "MORPH!" Suddenly Morph flew out of a kitchen bowl. The protoplasmic blob didn't look any older. Like B.E.N., life had no time line. Morph flew up next to B.E.N. and saluted to him, as if ready for an order. B.E.N. pointed at Jim. "POSER!"

Dav rolled his eyes at B.E.N. "B.E.N...Jim isn't...you're being stupid again!"

Jim rolled his eyes. "B.E.N...don't be an idiot" Morph flew strait to Jim and glared at him. He began to sniff Jim all over his face. It stopped and looked at Jim shocked, He sniffed him again. He gave a happy noise and cuddled against Jim's check. B.E.N.'s eyes popped out of his head again. Morph rubbed his gelatinous body all over Jim's face, licking him, cuddling, and cooing. It seemed to really miss him.

"Aww Morphie! I would of brought ya...but...ya weren't allowed. I could've gotten expelled!"

"Expelled! Expelled!" The shape shifter echoed. Sarah smiled at Jim. "Nice ta finally have you back!" Jim smiled at her. "Hey, I said I'd come home eventually!" She hugged Jim again and Jim kissed his mother on her check.

B.E.N. cocked his head at Jim. "Jimmy?" He asked squinting his eyes in intense focus. Jim laughed as he let Morph perch on his shoulder. "Finally got it don't ya? Took ya long enough." B.E.N. looked at Jim blinking and rubbing his crystal blue eyes in disbelief. Part of him could believe it was Jim but the other part of him couldn't believe this was the same 'Jimmy' who found him on Treasure Planet and gave him a home. Jim smiled at the Insane copper robot. Jim suddenly grabbed B.E.N. by his waist and hugged him, spinning him around in a similar way he did back at the Legacy. Then he clutched B.E.N.'s head and gave him a forceful noogie. "AH! I missed ya! Ya crazy old robot!" B.E.N. was taken aback by Jim's noogie attack. He tried to pry Jim off him. "Ow! Owwie! Owwie! Letme go! Letme go!" Jim let go of B.E.N. He smiled at him. "Aww come off it B.E.N.! I thought ya loved ta be hugged!"

"Hugged..Yes Noogies...no..yes...no.."

Jim smiled at B.E.N. "Which one is it?"

"Umm.."

Jim grabbed B.E.N. again. "Ah! I'm just kidding ya you hunk of bolts!" He noogied B.E.N.'s head again. B.E.N. was on it this time and slipped out of Jim's grasp. He grabbed Jim and noogied his head.

"GOT YA!" Jim grinned and began to mess with B.E.N.'s head. "Hey..." Jim said remembering what B.E.N. said on the Legacy. "You noogied me back!" Jim slipped out of B.E.N.'s grasp and spun him around again. "I promised myself I wouldn't cry!" Jim said in a very fake crying voice. Jim shot B.E.N. a very smart look. B.E.N. suddenly grinned at Jim and hugged him in his usual tight squeeze.

"OH JIMMY! IT'S YOU! YOU'RE BACK! YOUR BACK!" B.E.N. actually began crying as he squeezed Jim. "I MISSED YOU SOOOO MUCH!" Jim grinned. "Hey I did too, now can ya let go of me!"

"OH JIMMY YA MISSED SO MUCH! THE TRIPLETS GROWING UP AND OH! JIMMY!" B.E.N. squeezed Jim harder. Jim couldn't breath.

"B.E.N..." Jim said gasping for air.

"OH I MISSED YOU SO!"

"B.E.N..."

"YES OH BESTEST BUDDY OF MINE!"

"Need...air..." Jim gasped. B.E.N. let go of Jim.

"Oh sure sorry Jimmy!"

Jim caught his breath. "B.E.N...Have you been using that brain of yours at all?"
