The boy stared down at the ball in his hands, then back to the pirate.
“Alright, its yours.” He threw it her way to which the Pirate caught it with glee.
He let her toy with the sphere for a moment before a frustrated growl escaped her jaw.
“It’s a fake you know.”
Two fiery, orange eyes snapped back onto the boy with the gun. He waved it, seemingly innocently.
“Don’t you know? The real one was destroyed along with treasure planet almost six years ago.”
“What?” came her response, low toned and dangerous, Elizabeth dropped the sphere.
“Where is my treasure Mr Hawkins?”
Jim Hawkins backed up defensively, his gun finding its way back at the pirate’s head. But it really didn’t bother her, especially so as she ripped the second one from her coat.
“What did you do with my Treasure?!”
The boy couldn’t contain the gasp that escaped his lungs, he backed up immediately.
Tumbling back into his own bedside table. The pirate advanced, pressing the pistol deep into the skin of his forehead.
“You don’t want to tell me it is all gone, Mr Hawkins. Trust me, you really don’t want to do that.”

Meanwhile, elsewhere in the house life of another sort was stirring.
The Flint’s Bio-Electronic-Navigator- BEN had finished his nightly regeneration cycle. The android’s eyes ‘blinked’ awake with the flash of a yellow beam. He gave a somewhat noisy yawn before proceeding with his morning yoga session- to get those old gears running.
There was something different about this morning however... something he was supposed to remember…
BEN hummed in thought, retracing his steps around the kitchen in attempt to boot up the old memory files.
“Wake up, stretch… oil change?..no….Wake up…. Mrs Hawkins!...Wait no not not that either. Argh! BEN!” He racked his old mind, feeling the gears clunking around in his head before all at once the droid exploded in a frenzy of excited energy.
“WAKE UP JIM!”
BEN smiled, clapping his hands together. He headed up the stairs to Jim's old bedroom.


“WAKE UP JIM!” BEN sounded the alarm in his loudest voice as he swung the door open to his old bedroom. “ITS TIME TO…. AHHHHH!!!!!” what greeted him there was not at all what he expected.
The blue demon spun, her gun swivelling in his direction.
“AHHH!!!!” the droid screamed again.
His first instinct was to dive into the arms of his new master but this impossible as the pirate stood in his way.
BEN could only shutter, the memory chip flying into overload
“ELIZABETH!” He screeched. “Wha….What… what are you doing here?”
To which he was followed up by a unison.
“Android?”
“BEN, you know her?”
The android couldn’t take his eyes off the familiar face, and especially off that familiar gun. Boy was he in trouble when she found out what happened to her Father’s planet…
“Oh! Elizabeth! How long has it been? Why you don’t look a day over seventy!”
“Quiet BEN. Now tell me, what are you doing here? Are not you supposed to be waiting for me on the planet?”
The driod’s mouth snapped shut.
“Oh…umm…”
“Wait a minute.” Jim was almost forgotten amongst the confusion.
“Do I know you?”
Elizabeth’s stare turned back on the Human, her voice only interrupted by the realisation that suddenly dawned in his eyes.
“The Elizabeth? As in the Daughter of Nathaniel Flint?” He didn’t seem to believe his own words. “But you would have to be… at least a hundred years old.”
“A hundred and twenty, half wit.” Elizabeth’s response was quick and full of frustration. “And I want my Treasure.”

ARTIST’S NOTE: This is a scene taken from The Curse of Flint. Can be found here on my fan fic account: [link]

I tried making him look a little older with face stubble and so on but yeah he does still look quite young (he is supposed to be 21 here). His hands look waay to big… and yup anyways it took me all day to do this (while I was watching TP mind you!) and I’m sleepy now XD.
