As the sun began to slowly rise across the horizon, Fung opened his eyes slowly and went back to sleep. It was then his eyes shot opened realizing what today was; he jumped out of bed, made his way to the bathroom to take a quick shower and got dressed. The former croc bandit began to run down the hallways and down the stairs like a kid on Christmas morning. Once he got down the stairs an aroma of breakfast hit his nostrils like a hard punch.

"Good Morning, Fung." Mrs. Hawkins smiled.

"Good Morning, Mrs. Hawkins." Fung smiled.

B-E-N happened to exit the kitchen with a tray of an assortment of breakfast items.

"Morning Fungi." B-E-N greeted while placing the tray on the table.

There happened to be a bowl of mashed potatoes, pancakes, a pitcher of Juice, a plate of Biscuits & Toast, a bowl of gravy, a skillet of Corned Beef Hash, tray full of steak, and a few plates of eggs.

"Oh Mrs. Hawkins, I can't believe you have gone all out for me." Fung said.

Mrs. Hawkins gave the former Crocodile Bandit a big old bear hug along with a silent sob.

"Oh please, no tears for me. You're acting as if I'm going to war." Fung said while embracing her. Mrs. Hawkins smiled sadly at him. "I really wanted to make this for you since this is your last time with us, and I hope you have a safe journey back to earth and reunite with your family."

Fung grinned. "I know for sure. At least I'll have these guys with me," He said, gesturing to Jim, Amelia, and B.E.N. The robot himself was anxious to go on another adventure with them all. Mrs. Hawkins herself was worried for her son but since his graduation she was confident enough now for him to go on other adventures.

The group all sat down to eat, Fung enjoying every bite as he could. Afterward they went to get themselves packed and get ready for the taxi that would take them to the spaceport.

….

Everybody arrived where the Legacy waited for them again, all patched up and repaired from their previous adventure of course, and to Fung she looked better than ever, looking forward to having one more space ride on her.

Before stepping onto the gangplank, Mrs. Hawkins gave him and Jim a big hug. "I'll never forget you, Fung," She said tearfully, wiping her eyes. Fung blushed, happy to have someone else to actually miss him whenever he went anywhere. He saw Delbert kissing Amelia, as she told him to take good care of the children, making him wish he had a female that close to him, a spark of jealousy inside his croc heart.

"Me either, ma'am. I will tell my gang all about ya," He said with a wink, making her laugh. Straddling his bag on his shoulders, Fung shook hands once more with Delbert who was sad to see him go too, and that the kids would miss him.

Thankfully this time around Amelia was able to hire a much better crew than the last ones who were pirates, but Fung felt like the ship wasn't the same without Silver there to greet them in the kitchen. Thankfully he wasn't a cabin boy this time around, which was a relief for him.

The crew got the ship burning up in the engines, lighitng the solar sails, and Fung could feel the ship rising in the air, looking over the side and seeing his friends waving. He waved back with a smile.

B.E.N suddenly hugged him out of nowhere, making him grunt. "Oh, Fungster! I'm happy I can go with ya! Think I'm gonna cry." He cried on Fung's shoulder who pushed him off. "Ok, yeah. Don't need oil in my scales, thanks," He muttered. B.E.N smiled sheepishly. "Sorry, sorry. But isn't this gonna be the best adventure or WHAT?" His eyes looked crazy for it.

Fung nodded. "Uhuh, suppose. Gonna make sure the sails are in shape," He said, going to the sails, and climbing up the ropes for them, hanging on and looking out towards the horizon of space, wondering what else they could encounter since he felt like Treasure Planet was just a stepping stone in this universe.

Jim saw his friend up in the shrouds and climbed up to join him. "Hey, penny for your thoughts?" Fung grinned at him. "Just a tad nervous still. You think my gang is still looking for me right now?" Jim gave him a light punch. "For sure. If they like you then they will."

Fung though had another question. "And… can't help but feel like I need to find a special someone for my life. The right girl. But… don't know if any gals would want to be with anybody like me."

Jim couldn't help but laugh. "If it can happen to someone like Delbert it could happen with you, too, Fung. Don't stress so much and enjoy the here and now. We have many adventures that will come along. And who knows; maybe we will even encounter our old pal Silver again.

The croc liked the idea of meeting their old friend again, whom he was still missing. Morph squeaked when coming out of Jim's shirt and licking them both, causing them to laugh. "Ok, little guy, that's enough!" Fung laughed, Morph cooing, and stopping, the two friends turning to look out at the view again, excited for what awaited them next.
