Sarah Hawkins had been looking around for her son each and every day since he left, coming from Delbert's house each day and waiting until noon to see if her boy had come home. Each day she left with disappointment but she wouldn't give up. Each day one could see the worried woman at the docking area, waiting for her son. This day however, Sarah felt that her son would finally come home to her, and she was right.

Just an hour before noon, the woman felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned around only to find that her little boy was smiling at her happily. Over powered with joy the mother threw her arms around her boy and cried out happily.

Jim, happy to smell his mother, happy to feel her warmth, and hear her voice, wrapped her in his arms tightly. Happy to be home he forgot all about the shape shifter and the girl behind him. Morph, wanting to be hugged, made himself known by flying in between the mother and son moment, gibbering joyously. AnaMaria, feeling slightly out of place, watched awkwardly as Sarah smiled at the little blob.

Jim, remembering that AnaMaria was behind him, pulled her towards his mother, introducing the two. Sarah, remembering her smiled and hugged the girl close.

"Thank you," she whispered in the girl's ear. "This is the second time you've saved my boy, how can I ever repay you?" The girl, close to tears, held the woman tightly, loving the warmth of a mother's touch. The woman pulled the girl away at arm's length and smiled, brushing some of the hair out of her face.

"Such a beautiful little girl you got here Jim," Sarah cooed, looking over at her son. Seeing the blushes of the two, she smiled and kissed her boy's forehead. "Treat her right James Pleiades Hawkins." Jim, cringing at his full name, rubbed his head as he heard AnaMaria chuckle.

"Pleiades?" she laughed. Jim glared at her and lunged, grabbing the laughing girl around her waist.

"What so funny?" he growled, running his fingers through her hair. "Little Annie?" He smiled as he dodged her fist.

"That's not my name!" AnaMaria exclaimed, irritated that the boy called her that. She lunged at him and began to chase the laughing boy around his mother, shouting threats into the air. Sarah, seeing the two flirt like little kids, chuckled and watched in amusement when AnaMaria caught her son and began to give him a noogie.

Their happy moment was cut short however when two robot cops approached the small group. AnaMaria, noticing the two cops, ducked behind Jim just as the robots stopped in front of Jim's mother.

"AnaMaria Longstrum?" the robot cop on Sarah's right asked the hiding girl.

"Captain AnaMaria Longstrum," AnaMaria muttered, irritated that every cop she met got it wrong.

"You are hereby sentenced to spend the rest of your days inside a high security prison due to your heavy involvement in piracy," the robot cop on the right stated. AnaMaria came out from behind Jim, knowing that she was caught.

"Alright, let's get this over with," she said, holding out her hands so they could cuff her. Jim, Sarah, and Morph gasped as the cops took the girl into their custody.

"Wait!" Jim exclaimed, stepping between the cops and AnaMaria. "Can we rethink this? I mean she helped capture the pirates! How can you imprison somebody who helped so many people?" Behind him, Jim felt AnaMaria grip his shoulder. Turning, he saw her sad eyes staring into his.

"It's okay Jim," she said quietly. "I knew the consequences of my actions when I didn't leave with Silver. I'll go without a fight." Jim tried to protest but the girl moved around him, her gaze set on the ground.

Sarah, seeing how heartbroken both the teens were, jumped to help. "Wait officers! She saved us from pirates twice! Not to mention the second time she also saved a well-known astrophysicist and a captain! I beg of you, please reconsider!"

The cops shared a look before shaking their heads. "Her acts of piracy cannot be overlooked, nor will they be."

"If you wish to plead on her behalf then go to the courthouse but she's coming with us one way or another." Their grips on her arms were almost unbearable. AnaMaria felt as if she was being dragged away but she knew she was voluntarily walking away from the best thing that had happened to her life in a long time. Inside, she could feel her heart shattering into a million pieces.

Behind her, Jim looked on in horror. They had come so far, had this one big adventure and now, it ended like this? It wasn't fair! The boy moved to follow the cops but was stopped by his mother's firm grip. He looked up at her questioningly but she simply shook her head.

"I will talk to Delbert and see what he can do, for now, we have to let her go."

And it was in that moment that Jim felt his heart shatter.


And that is the end of my first Treasure Planet story. Of course if you see the movie you know the actual happy ending to Jim's story and I'm not saying that that didn't come true cause I'd like to believe in my story that it did, but I won't be covering it because it obviously happened while AnaMaria was incarcerated. I have decided to make a sequel, however I have to think long and hard about the plot behind it so it won't be out for sometime. All I know is that in the sequel I'll delve deeper into AnaMaria's past and I'm thinking of bringing Silver back as well. It's all up in the air right now so until then I hope you all can find some enjoyment in my other stories! 3
