Chapter 12: Fight.
Kate laughed as she passed by Jim.
"You're getting the hang of this." Jim called out as he raced to catch up.
"Oh please, it's not that hard!" Kate argued.
Jim rolled his eyes.
"Right, or I wouldn't of needed to fix it three times this week." He said.
Kate stuck out her tongue.
"The cliff came out of nowhere! And I-I caught an uplift or something trying to land!" she argued.
"Cliffs don't just come out of nowhere and it wasn't even windy out!" Jim said.
"Whatever, ready to head back?" Kate asked.
"Sure." Jim said smiling.
Kate smirked and made a sharp turn cutting Jim off.
"Hey!" Jim yelled trying not to laugh.
"Oops! Sorry!" Kate called looking over her shoulder smiling clearly not sorry at all.
"Kate!" Jim cried pointing in front of her.
Kate looked and saw that up ahead in the canyon they were flying in there was a rockslide starting.
"Let's turn around and" Jim started.
Kate lowered the sail of the surfer. She'd been practicing for two weeks and was a quick learner, Jim was just paranoid. She could do this.
"Kate don't!" Jim cried sensing what she was planning.
Too late! Kate was already flying amongst the falling rocks.
'She's gonna get herself killed!' Jim thought.
Kate swerved and spun around the rocks laughing. This wasn't so hard. She had no idea why Jim was so worried.
Just then a large rock hit the engine causing her to fall and spin out of control.
"KATE!" Jim cried racing in after her.
Kate let out a blood curtailing scream. This was it! She was sure to die! If the fall didn't kill her then surely the falling rocks would bury her, breaking her bones and crushing her organs.
'Why hadn't I listened? Why had I gotten cocky? Jim's been doing this for years! He knew I wasn't ready! He' she thought.
Just then Jim grabbed her arm and pulled her up, making sure the boards overlapped.
'He… caught me…' she thought.
"Hang on." Jim said speeding up.
Kate didn't need to be told twice. She held onto him as tight as she could without causing any damage to his body.
Jim steered his surfer through the rocks making sure to check all directions around him so he could avoid colliding with any rocks. He had a few close calls due to the added weight and fact he couldn't fully predict where the rocks would go or fall from but soon made it out of the area safely.
'He saved me, he really saved me!' Kate thought.
"T-thanks." She said.
Jim didn't say anything.
"I'm really sorry." Kate said.
"I'll fix it when we get back." Jim said his tone emotionless.
"J-Jim?" Kate asked.
Jim didn't reply.
'Right, he wouldn't reply, he probably only saved me because he promised to get me out of that hellhole and if he'd let me die, well, it would ruin his reputation.' Kate thought sadly, 'He doesn't actually love me, even when it seems so, it's not. Silver was wrong.'
Jim slowly stopped his surfer behind the Inn and got off, Kate following and getting off hers.
"That rock really did a number on this." Jim said examining it "Should be able to fix it though."
"Hey, thanks for saving me." Kate said.
Jim didn't answer or look at her for that matter.
"Sorry I broke it again." Kate said.
Jim got up and walked away, muttering about seeing if he had the spare parts he needed.
Kate sighed and walked into the Inn trying not to cry.
She didn't see Jim at all the rest of the day, not even when her mother came. When she'd asked Kate where he was she said something broke and he was fixing it, leaving out that it was the solar surfer he made her and that she broke it again.
Kate felt heartbroken and the entire Inn could feel it. A few guests asked if she was alright but she brushed them off, usually acting as if whatever she was doing was harder than usual. She didn't even confide in Sarah, Silver, Delbert, Amelia, or B.E.N. when they asked, she merely went silent and avoided eye contact, or found another job to do. Not even B.E.N.'s hilarious accidents and antics (some of which were on purpose) could make her feel better.
Jim sighed as he walked back to the Inn finally getting the grease off his hands so his mother wouldn't have a fit. To say he was furious with Kate was a major understatement in the form of it only being half of how he felt. The other half, well, it was one part fear and one part he refused to tell himself, much less let himself believe.
"Hey, Jim." Kate said as he walked in.
'Right, planning.' Jim thought as he groaned.
"Jim…" Kate said sighing.
Jim pretended he hadn't heard.
"Will you please just talk to me?" Kate asked, "I know you've been avoiding me!"
Jim was glad it was late or he'd have a swarm of guests asking questions by now.
"Please," Kate said, "I just want to know what's wrong."
"What were you thinking!?" Jim asked, "You could have been killed! You almost got yourself killed! If I hadn't been there you'd be dead by now!"
"You think I don't know that?" Kate cried, "You think I don't regret not listening when you saying to turn around? For thinking I could easily get through that rockslide unharmed when the both of us knew I couldn't?"
"If you knew why'd you do it then?" Jim asked.
"I thought I could do it! I wanted to show you that I was ready to try half the stunts you do!" Kate cried, "I wanted you to stop always trying to stop me if I decided to try something! I got cocky, okay!? I thought I was going to die! I thought I was as good as dead! I didn't expect you to go and save me! At the Academanytimeime I goofed up you'd laugh and say it was my own fault and offer no help at all whatsoever if it was possible for you to help! And it was my own fault I almost died!"
"Stop yelling both of you!" Sarah said, "And try to calm down."
Kate took a deep breath.
"Look, I'm sorry." She said, "I should have listened, you've been solar surfing for years, you know more than I do, you were only trying to keep me safe. I promised I'd make this up to you and I only did the exact opposite. It won't happen again."
Jim sighed.
"Kate," he said, "you have no clue how scared I was, do you?"
"It never occurred to me you'd be scared." Kate said softly.
Jim sighed.
"Kate, I care about you, you're probably the best friend I've ever had." He said, "I was terrified I'd lose you, so please; don't try anything like that again, okay?"
Kate nodded but held back from hugging him.
Jim sighed before smirking.
"Okay, come here." He said opening his arms.
Kate ran over to him, accidentally knocking him over.
"I didn't mean tackle me!" Jim said.
"Didn't mean too!" Kate cried.
Jim laughed as Kate helped him up.
"Yeah, I know." He said.
"Aww! Isn't this sweet?" B.E.N. asked.
"Don't tell anyone." Jim and Kate said in unison.
"Don't worry, my lips are sealed!" B.E.N. said pretending to zip his mouth shut.
Jim and Kate laughed.
"So, you're not still mad, are you?" Kate asked.
Jim shook his head.
"No, but you do that again and I'm not letting you have your solar surfer back." He said smirking.
Kate laughed.
"If I do that again I'll probably never want to set foot on one ever again." She said.
Just then the sound of thunder roared scaring the group so much that Kate and B.E.N. jumped onto Jim in a comical matter, Kate into his arms and B.E.N. with his arms and legs tightly around his torso.
"Get off." Jim wheezed.
"Sorry." Kate and B.E.N. apologized as B.E.N. let go and Jim helped Kate on her feet.
"Quite a storm bru'n." Silver said walking over, "Been signs of it all day, reckon it'll be one of them one that leaves a lot of debris around. Prob'ly best to keep all shutters closed and lock the doors. Shouldn't have anything left out there either, will prob'ly get blown away by the storm."
"The solar surfers!" Jim and Kate cried.
And just like that they were out the door and rushing to the back of the Inn to bring in their prized possessions.
SPH: Whew! Done! This felt like it took forever! Okay, so during the solar surfing scene when Jim and Kate are in the canyon Jim tells Kate to turn around and I can already hear tons of you guys saying "why didn't they just fly higher to leave?" and the answer is simple, the area they were in had tons of ledges and cliffs jutting at odd angles which Kate had crashed into a couple of times, Jim was telling her to go back through to a spot where they could safely leave the canyon, plus rockslides can be unpredictable and rocks could have flown in their direction so turning around and going back the way they came would give them a safe distance. Also, Kate's real prized possession is her father's cutlass, the one she wanted to kill herself with, but she also holds the solar surfer Jim made her at about an equal level which is why it says their instead of Jim's prized possession and Kate's solar surfer. Also, I wanted to call this chapter 'First Fight' since it's Jim and Kate's first fight as a couple, but you already had them arguing in chapter 1 and Caption Amelia had said they got into fights a lot so it didn't make much sense. Okay, so I only have one question for you guys. What's the other reason Jim was upset and why wouldn't he admit it or let himself believe it? Leave a comment and tell me what you thought! Until next time (later today or tonight) this is Samantha Peace HeartStar signing off for now. Peace out and keep spreading the Treasure Planet love! See ya!
