Chapter 6: Secret Solar Surfing
Jim sighed as he got up. He was so glad this was his last day of not being able to have breaks, Mrs. Myers had stopped by every day and did nothing but talk about Kate negatively, if she showed up today he was going to work on anything her could upstairs to avoid her and hopefully not have to listen to her complain about Kate.
He felt bad for Kate, he could tell by what Mrs. Myers said she was more miserable than before, she hardly spoke anymore which Mrs. Myers saw as good. He wanted to do something for her, but he knew there was no way Mrs. Myers would let him do anything like that. She'd probably see it as encouraging Kate to go back to the way she'd always been.
As he got up he saw his solar surfer in the corner and got an idea.
He darted over to his desk, grabbed a pen and piece of paper and started writing.
Kate,
Meet me outside the Inn at midnight.
Jim.
He folded the note and put it in an envelope.
"Morph, hey Morph?" Jim said trying to wake Morph up.
Morph yawned and opened his eyes.
"I know it's early, but I need you to give this to Kate, okay?" Jim asked.
Morph nodded and took the note and flew off.
Kate woke up to tapping on her window. Groaning she got up and went over. She was surprised to see Morph at her window.
"Morph?" she asked opening her window, "What are you doing here?"
Morph dropped the note in her hands.
Kate frowned as she opened and read it.
"Why does he want to meet me at midnight?" she asked.
Morph shrugged.
"Well thanks, let him know I'll sneak out to see him." Kate said.
Morph nodded and flew back to the Inn.
Jim was putting his boots on when Morph flew back in his room.
"Did she get it?" Jim asked.
Morph nodded.
"Is she coming?" Jim asked.
Morph nodded again.
Jim smiled before heading downstairs while Morph went back to sleep.
"Ah, Mrs. Myers." Sarah said as Mrs. Myers entered the Inn.
Jim quickly darted up the stairs to find some sort of job to do. Unfortunately, he couldn't find anything so he decided to help Silver in the kitchen.
"Ow!" he cried cutting himself peeling a potato.
"Having a hard time focusing with all the hags complaining?" Silver asked.
"You don't know the half of it." Jim said, "The way she treats Kate and talks about her, it makes me want to wring her neck."
"If I didn't know better, I'd say the reason you're so upset is because you actually like the girl." Silver said.
"Me? Like Kate?" Jim asked, "That's got to be the stupidest thing I've heard all day."
"Not saying you do, but the way you've been acting gives the impression." Silver said.
Jim pretended to gag.
"Oh please, who would like Kate that way?" he asked, "She had to be the most snobby, stuck-up, stubborn, hard-headed, nagging, bratty hot-headed show off in the Academy."
Silver just chuckled and turned back to cooking.
Kate listened to her surroundings, trying to see if she were in the clear. She could hear her mom snoring and smiled. She could sneak out, but she'd have to run to get to the Inn on time. She lowered a rope she'd made by tying a bunch of her dresses together and climbed down. Once her feet were on the ground she took off in the direction of the Benbow Inn.
Jim sat on the roof while keeping a lookout for Kate. It was three minutes to Midnight and he was starting to worry, after all, she was never late. He soon spotted her running over and jumped down.
"You made it." Jim said.
"Yeah," Kate said bending over and panting, "Why'd you wanna meet?"
"Well, I felt you could use some cheering up, so I came up with a way to get your mind off of your problems and have some fun." Jim said.
Kate looked at him.
"You ever Solar surfed?" Jim asked showing her his.
"Well, no." Kate said.
"Well, I figured I'd take you solar surfing." Jim said.
Kate stared at him.
"Look, I'll be the one controlling it; you just hang onto me, okay?" Jim asked.
Kate bit her lip but nodded.
"Okay," Jim said turning it on and putting the sail up, "let's go."
He held his hand out to Kate who took it and helped her on the solar surfer.
"Okay, hang on tight." He said.
Kate nodded and wrapped her arms around his torso.
Jim made it take off. Kate closed her eyes and held on tighter.
"Kate, it's okay, you can open your eyes." Jim said turning to face her.
Slowly Kate opened her eyes and was in awe of the sight.
"Is it always like this?" she asked.
"Well, if you mean fun and amazing, then yes, it is." Jim said.
Kate giggled.
"No, well, yes, but no. I meant the view." She said.
"Yeah, it's almost always like this." Jim said, "I didn't solar surf at night much because it can be hard to see, but I always loved the view."
Kate nodded.
"Wanna go faster?" Jim asked.
Kate bit her lip.
"Yeah, yeah, let's speed up." She said.
Jim nodded and made it go faster.
Kate gave a small yelp but soon laughed.
"Want me to drop you off at your house?" Jim asked after a while.
"Sure." Kate said.
Jim nodded and landed them in Kate's yard.
"Hey, thanks, I needed that." Kate said, "We should do it again sometime."
Jim nodded.
"It was pretty fun." He agreed.
"Well, I'll see you around, okay? Kate asked.
"Yeah, see you around." Jim said. He watched Kate climb back up the makeshift rope and back into her room before going home himself and going to bed.
SPH: Whew, well, this was fun. So, some people may notice that this is similar to the Romantic Flight in How To Train Your Dragon, and I'm going to be one hundred perfect honest, I did not notice that until I had Jim ask Kate if she wanted him to take her home. Also, I know that it's possible that solar surfing was a skill taught at the Academy, but as Caption Amelia says that Jim's solar surfing was "Unorthodox, but ludicrously effective" I don't think it's an actually required skill or one taught there so that's why Kate doesn't know how to solar surf. Another thing, I know I never had a scene where Kate met morph, but since he was with Jim when he went solar surfing, that's when she got to meet Morph. Okay, question time! Is Silver right and Jim likes Kate, but doesn't want to admit it? Will Jim and Kate go solar surfing more often? Well, this is Samantha Peace HeartStar signing off for now. Peace out and keep spreading the Treasure Planet love! See ya!
