Sailed The Stars With You

An old friend

After a few hours later I was finally done with cleaning the deck.
- Well this has been a fun day huh? Making new friends. Like that spider psycho.

- Spyder psycho spider psycho.
Morph said as he turned into a smaller version of the spider thing looking alien.

- Hehe I little uglier.
Morph then started laughing like a little psycho. It was cute say the least.

- Pretty close.

- So ya finally got some kind of job to do here.
I turned around to see the girl standing there.

- Uhh yeah wouldn't want to upset anyone.

- Sure ya don't.

- Umm hey I never got your name?
- Mm I'm not sure if you've earned to know it yet.

- Oh come on if you tell me yours I'll tell mine. Fair enough?
She thought for a moment.

- Okay fine it's F/N. (Fake name)
- Hmm what a pretty name. Well I'm Jim.

- Well nice to meet you Jim.
F/N said as she extended her had for me to shake. I happily took it. I'm surprised I trust her more then Silver. I don't know why though maybe it's because she doesn't give me the reason to.

- Thank heavens for little miracles. Up here for an hour and the decks still in one piece.
I turn around to see Silver walking to us throwing some leftovers of food overboard.

- Uhh look I umm what you did... thanks.

- Didn't your pap ever teach you how to pick your flights a bit more carefully?
I didn't say anything to him and just looked away.

- Your father not the teaching sort?

- No he was more of a taking off and never coming back sort.

- Sorry lad.

- Hey no big deal living just fine.

- Yeah I'm sorry too landlubber.
Me and Silver turn to direction of the girl. Both of them seemed to froze when they saw each other.

- Lassy?

- Silver?
Suddenly the girl ran towards Silver and hugged him.

- Look at ya lassie you've grown up to a young lady sence I last saw ya.

- Yeah that's how time works.
They hugged ones more before turning to me.

- Jimbo this is Lia.
I chuckled a little.

- So that's your name.

- Lassie here is an old friend of mine. Well I kn...

- Yes an old friend we met when I was younger.
She said cutting of Silver from saying something. Silver looked at her a little curious why he wasn't allowed to finish the sentence but let it slide.

- Well it was lovely meeting ya Silver but I'm gonna head to bed see ya tomorrow you three.
And with that she was gone... again.

- Ahh Lia.
Silver sighed while looking at Lia who was heading under the deck.

- So how do you know each other?
I asked. Silver was quiet for few minutes until breaking the silence.

- I knew lassie through her parents. Fine two sailors I must say.
He passed for a minute before continuing.
- They past away almost 13 years ago.

(If you're wondering why 13 well because your a year older than Jim)

- How did it happen?

- That lassie never told me.
We stayed quiet for few minutes before Silver broke the silence again.

- Well sence the captain has put you in me charge. Like it or not I will be pounding a few skills into that thick head of yours to keep you out of trouble.

- WHAT!
- From now on I'm not letting you out of me sight.

- You can't!
I went against him but it was no use.

- You won't so much eat, sleep or scratch your bum whitout my say so!

- Don't do me any favors!

- Oh you can be sure of that Jimbo. You can be sure of that.
He said laughing at the end. Still will be a very fun trip.
