A/N: Hi guys! This is my first-ever (published) fanfic, and it's also my first Treasure Plant/Little Mermaid II fanfic, though other Disney characters will make some special guest appearances. Please review when you're done, I would really appreciate it. I'll probably publish a chapter every other day, or every three days, I'm not sure. It'll all depend on how fast I write. Enough jabber now, I hope you enjoy! :)

Disclaimer: I don't own Treasure Planet, The Little Mermaid II, or any other Disney characters/places referenced to. If I did, Melody wouldn't have had those freaky man-brows. Yeesh.

EEEEEooooEEEEEoooooEEEEEooooo

Jim Hawkins raced frantically back and forth across the deck of the ship, trying to postpone the inevitable. "There's gotta be something I haven't tried," he muttered out loud.

Captain Amelia grabbed him. "Jim."

He protested. "Captain, if I just-"

"JIM!" He jumped. "It's no use. The clock's been set. We're going back in time."

Jim gulped. That's what he was afraid of. "When and where?"

"19th century Earth, in the Milky Way galaxy. Near a merkingdom called 'Atlantica'."

Amelia loosened her grip on Jim. "You're sure there's nothing we can do?" he asked.

She nodded. "Nothing except fasten our seat belts and hold on; 'tis going to be a bumpy ride."

"Please, Grimsby? It's so pretty outside!"

As much as he wanted to, Grimsby just couldn't resist Melody's blue eyes and puppy-dog pout. He sighed and said, "Oh, all right."

Melody grinned and leaped up. "Thanks Grimsby! I promise I'll get my work done!" She grabbed her notebook and raced out.

Grimsby sighed and leaned back in his chair. "I'm getting too old for this," he muttered.

"Let's see... volume of a cube equals area of the base times height... so the answer is 96 centimeters cubed." Proud of herself, Melody scratched in the answer.

Out of the corner of her eye, Melody spotted something- or rather, someone. She squinted and craned her neck to see better. She wasn't sure, but it looked like a person. Smiling to herself, she recalled the tale her mother told her of a little mermaid becoming human in order to be with the man she loved. Melody later found out that this was her mother's story of how she and her husband, Melody's father, had met. This also caused Melody to remember her own brief life as a mermaid, hardly three years ago.

Maybe he's a merman, Melody thought, splashing towards him. As she drew closer, though, she realized that he was human like her. He was also unconscious. Using as much strength as a 15-year-old girl can possibly muster, she pulled him up on the beach.

After dragging him to shore, Melody collapsed right along side him, exhausted. She turned her head toward him to get a better look at his face. He was, to say the least, good-looking. He had brown hair that came right around his ears, and though she guessed him to be around 15 or 16, he had a face that still retained a childlike cuteness.

The boy suddenly began to cough. Startled, Melody sat up. He opened his eyes, saw her, and screamed. "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!"

Melody screamed back. "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!"

Breathing heavily, the boy eyed her, both suspicious and scared. "Who are you? Where am I?"

Regaining her composure, Melody said, "I'm Melody, princess of Denmark, which is where you are; Denmark."

"Is this planet Earth?" he asked.

The question was so rhetorical, so obvious, that it actually tripped Melody up. "Uh... last time I checked."

The boy swore under his breath, then looked at Melody. He stood up, brushed himself off, and stuck out his hand. "I'm James Hawkins, sailor aboard the RLS Legacy... or whatever's left of it, I guess. Nice to meet you, Princess Melody."

Melody shook his hand firmly. "Likewise, Mister Hawkins."

Jim waved her away. "Don't bother with formalities. Call me Jim."

"I'll call you Jim if you call me Melody," she replied.

"Deal."

After a few moments, Melody asked, "So, what happened? Shipwreck?"

Jim laughed awkwardly. "You could say that."

"Where are you from? Agrabah? Andalasia? Corona?" Melody asked, firing off names of nearby kingdoms.

"Actually, I'm from-" Jim stopped. He was about to say he was from planet Montressor, but remembered that this was 19th century Earth. They didn't even have motorized vehicles, let alone knowledge of life on other planets. How was he supposed to explain that he was from another world in another time? She'd write him off as a lunatic and send him to prison- she was a princess, after all.

Melody was looking at him expectedly, so Jim hurriedly replied, "Uh, the last one. Corona."

Melody nodded. "Ah. Do you want me to notify Rapunzel and Eugene so they'll know what happened?"

"What? Oh, no. I'm not with the Royal Fleet. The Legacy, she's a little more than a sailboat. We were-"

"'We'? So you weren't alone? Who was with you?" Melody looked worried.

JIm blinked. Normally he'd have no problem telling someone about Amelia- cat/human hybrids were common on Montressor. On Earth? Though he'd never visited sector 001 before, he'd learned about it at school and knew that humans were definitely in abundance. Melody would be freaked out.

"Oh, uh, 'we' as in me and my cat, Amelia," Jim blurted. Amelia's gonna kill me for saying that, he thought.

Melody bit her lip and looked out at the sea. "I don't know how to tell you this, but-"

"She'll be okay. Amelia's no ordinary cat," Jim said, the corner of his mouth turning up in a half-smile.

Melody smiled back. "For your sake, I hope she is. C'mon, I'll take you home. You look in need of a bath and a meal."
