SPH: Hey everyone! Hope you're enjoying the story! Since I'm back to doing classes at college this week, and yes, I'm in college, while no has yet to ask or say I'm bluffing, just clarifying I am in college, anyway since I'm back to having class until we reach the weekend it will take longer to post chapters since I'll be in class, at Anime Club, doing homework, or reading Artemis Fowl for the book club me and my friend Sara started since we're bookworms. Actually, I think Sara said she'll be getting an account on here soon so when she does and I get her username, please check out her stories. Ahem, I do not own Treasure Planet or any of its content, I only own Kate, all other OC's, the story, and the plot. On with the story!
Chapter 11: Kate's Surprise
Kate sighed as she pushed away some stray hair from her face.
"Well, today's been fun." She said as Jim and Morph came over, "Cleaning up messes, helping Silver in the kitchen, listening to the old hag at lunch."
"Old hag, old hag." Morph said transforming into a mini version of Kate's mother.
"A little uglier." Kate and Jim said.
Morph looked thoughtful for a moment then made the head larger, the makeup more dramatic, and the upd uglier while laughing like a nutcase.
"Pretty close." Kate and Jim said chuckling.
"You know, we've been saying the exact same thing at the exact same time for a while now." Kate said going back to sweeping.
Jim laughed as he cleared a table.
"Yeah, well, it's normally just something small, like saying we'll help someone in a minute, or agreeing that your mom's a little uglier than the one Morph changed into." He said.
"Hey, by the way," Kate said, "you've been just, just, vanishing every day when you go on break and then just reappear and scare me in more ways than one. What have you been up to?"
"Huh? Oh! Nothing, nothing." Jim said vaguely.
Kate placed a hand on her hip.
"Jim." She said her tone hostile.
"Look, it's nothing you need to worry about, I promise." Jim said.
Kate sighed.
"Jim, I just, I just worry." She said, "I know you said…"
"Kate," Jim said, "I'm not, I swear."
Kate sighed.
"Please, just tell me what you've been doing." She said.
Jim sighed.
"I can't," he said, "not yet, but I will tell you when the time's right and I'm sure you'll love it."
Kate sighed.
"I give up." She said setting the broom aside and grabbing the tray from Jim's hands.
She hurriedly cleared the tables before storming into the kitchen. The loud thud coming from it said she'd slammed the tray on a counter.
Jim sighed.
'She's gonna kill me when I don't show up tonight.' He thought walking away.
'Where is he?' Kate thought as she checked her watch.
"He's still not back yet?" Sarah asked.
"No, and it's half after midnight." Kate said putting the watch away, "If he doesn't show up soon I'm gonna kill him when he finally gets back."
They heard the front door creak open and moved to see Jim sneaking back in.
"James Pleiades Hawkins where have you been?" Sarah asked.
Jim winced and turned to face them.
"Uh," he said before nervously laughing. He cleared his throat. "Kate, remember our conversation earlier today?" he asked.
"The one about you disappearing and how you for some reason couldn't tell me why?" Kate asked crossing her arms.
"Yeah, that one." Jim said.
"What, you finally able to tell me?" Kate asked.
"More like finally able to show you, come on." Jim said opening the door.
Kate hesitated, but she and Sarah followed Jim outside and to the back of the Inn where Jim pulled the tarp off of a solar surfer.
"I told I'd teach you to solar surf, figured you might as well have your own solar surfer." Jim said.
Kate gasped.
"Did you actually make this?" she asked.
"Yeah, I was going to give it to you later today, when it was daylight." Jim said rubbing the back of his neck.
He almost fell over when Kate suddenly hugged him.
"Thank you so much!" Kate cried.
"I-it's not really that big a deal." Jim said glad that it was too dark to see he was blushing.
"Are you kidding?" Kate asked, "You handmade this for me! You could have just as easily bought one!"
"Well, I mean, uh." Jim stuttered.
"So, how exactly do I fly this?" Kate asked letting go.
"Why don't I show you when you're less likely to crash it?" Jim asked, "Showing you while it's dark out just spells disaster."
Kate giggled.
"You're probably right." She said.
She hugged him again.
"Thank you." She said again.
Jim hesitated but hugged her back.
"You're welcome." He said.
Sarah cleared her throat.
"Well, it is late, so I think all of us should head to bed." She said, "Busy day tomorrow."
"Every day's busy." Jim muttered rolling his eyes.
Kate giggled as she let go.
"Yeah, but at least we can go solar surfing on breaks." She said.
Jim smiled and shook his head as they headed back inside.
SPH: Again, short chapter is short. I wanted to do a chapter focusing more on the everyday life at the Benbow Inn, but I also wanted to do a chapter where Jim gives Kate a solar surfer and this one won.
