Treasure Planet

Day 1 Of Chores Pt. 2

Around noon Annie walked up into the stateroom and sat down at the table that held the map and looked over it all. She couldn't help but be in awe that soon she'll be traveling around the galaxy once she graduates from The Installer Academy. Annie smiles as glanced at the door wondering if Jim would be able to be at her side when she sails across the galaxy, she could already see it now both her and Jim battling pirates and helping those in need but more importantly trying all the food the galaxy had to offer.

Amelia who was sitting at her desk aimlessly going over paper-work glanced over at her unusually quiet what she considered to be a daughter, when Amelia saw the faraway look in her eyes as she stared at the door she couldn't help but smile. Amelia could remember that time as a young cadet where all she could think about was getting her ship and sailing the galaxy. Amelia let out a quiet sigh as she placed the papers on her desk, she then called out to Annie.

"Why don't you go on deck and see if Mr. Arrow needs any help."

Annie glanced over at Amelia with excitement in her eyes as she asked her mentor and mother-like figure.

"Really?"

"Yes, now run along before I change my mind." Amelia hummed out and she couldn't contain her smile as she watched Annie scramble to the door.

Annie runs out the door and looks over the deck and found, Mr. Arrow near the steering wheel. She excitedly runs over to him, she dodges past a few aliens but there wasn't a lot around because the State Room where the Captain was is nearby. And nobody wanted to be around the Captain because let's just said she says what's on her mind whether people like it or not. She skidded to a stop beside Mr. Arrow and looked up at him with excitement and wonder as she told him.

"Captain sent me over to see if you need any help."

Mr. Arrow chuckled and lifted his left hand and gave two pats to the girl's head as he said.

"Why don't you see if Mr. Arrow is done cooking lunch."

"Alright." Annie agreed without hesitation as she then saluted him jokingly as she added on. "I'll be back with the news."

Annie began walking down the stairs to the main deck, before sticking to the walls, as to not get trampled on by the hard-working crew. She finally made it to the stairs to the galley, and Annie couldn't help but snuff the seemingly amazing aroma that was coming from the galley. Annie let her nose lead the way and she stumbled down the stairs since she was kind of in a hurry to see what Silver was making. Annie went up the counter and watched in amazement as Silver danced around the kitchen.

"Silver," Annie called out gently, as to not disturb his work method.

Silver jumped slightly and looked over his shoulder, there he saw Annie standing at the counter with her normal easy-going smile. Silver smiled at her as he asked her.

"What can I help you with Annie?"

"Well," Annie starts as she leaned against the counter with her arms as she tilts her head watching Silver go back to work. "Mr. Arrow wants to know if lunch is ready."

"It's done now." Silver said as he turned and wiped his hands on his apron with a lazy smile.

Annie's smile widened as she excitedly says as she sniffs the air some more.

"It smells amazing Silver, I can't wait to eat it. I'll let Mr. Arrow know lunch is done."

Silver blushed slightly at the compliment and rubbed the back of his neck in embarrassment that he could get like this for a teen girl. He brushed it aside and turned back to his stew as he told Annie over his shoulder.

"Why don't you let Cane know he can let up Jimbo for lunch."

"Okay!" Annie said as she began walking up the stairs in excitement.

She should let Cane know before she tells Mr. Arrow, it would be the right thing to do so Cane wouldn't leave Jim out there by himself. Annie maneuvers around the crew and towards where Cane was holding Jim, it looked like Jim got a lot done on the first half of the ship, and Annie couldn't help but feel pride for the boy.

"Hello Mr. Cane, sir," Annie said as she stood beside him. "Silver said that you can bring Jim up since lunch is done."

"Thanks for letting me know." Cane gruffly said as he glanced down at Jim. "Pulling you up now."

"Tell Jim I'll see him in the galley," Annie told the four arms alien as she waved him goodbye and ran up to the top deck. "Lunch is ready," Annie confirms Mr. Arrows unanswered questioned.

"Good." He cups his hands to his face as he yells to the crew. "Lunch is done!"

The crew wrapped up what they were doing and began heading down to the galley, Annie glanced over to where Cane was only to see him still pulling Jim up. Mr. Arrow and Annie decided silently that they would wait for Amelia to come out of the State Room, and sure enough, they watched as Amelia walked up to them.

"Are you two ready to eat?" Amelia questioned them.

"Ever since I could smell what Silver was cooking Captain," Annie told her as she licked her lips ready to finally eat the stew Silver was making.

Amelia and Mr. Arrow chuckled at the girl and her obvious fascination for good smelling food, they walked down the stairs together and Annie glanced over to where Cane was and found Jim standing on the deck. Somehow they connected eyes and Jim smiled and waved at Annie, which she returned enthusiastically.

"Come on Annie," Amelia said as she drew her attention away from Jim.

Annie hummed as she walked down the galley stairs with Amelia and Mr. Arrow. Jim watched as she went down the stairs with a small smile on his face, that's when he felt something almost knock him over. He looked up and saw that Cane was walking to the galley as well, Jim glared at his back before he followed, after Cane knowing that Annie will be in the galley.

Jim was the last one to come down the galley stairs, he looked around at the tables which were all filled as people were eating. He walked up to the counter and took his bowl, he glanced around for Silver and found him already talking to some crew members at a full table. Jim sighed and decided to look around for Annie or Delbert to sit by, sure enough, he found Delbert sitting near the Captain and Mr. Arrow but he couldn't see Annie at that table.

"Looking for someone?" A familiar voice asked him from behind.

Jim jumped in fright as he turned around ready to yell at the person for scaring him but stopped when he saw it was Annie. Jim immediately turned kind of shy as he gave her a small smile as he said.

"No, not anymore, it seems like she found me."

Annie blushed and looked at the ground before looking up at him, she smiled shyly at him as she rocked on her heels and she clasped her hands behind her back.

"You know we have room at the Captain's table if you're looking for somewhere to sit," Annie suggested as she looked up at Jim through her eyelashes very shyly.

Jim glanced over at the table and found that Delbert looked annoyed and seemed to be fumbling over his words to Amelia who looked amused and Mr. Arrow was as serious as ever. Jim turned back to Annie ready to object but as soon as he looked at her face he knew he couldn't say no to her, she looked up at him so innocently and shyly through her eyelashes that he couldn't keep his heart from racing more than it already was.

"Sure, yeah I'll sit with you guys." He agreed to which Annie instantly brightened her smile which caused Jim's smile to get a little bigger.

"Come on then." Annie cheered as she took Jim's free hand and dragged him to the Captain's table.

Jim smiled as he was pulled along by Annie, and the whole crew was smirking because of what Cane had told them. They were so going to use it against him.
