(Lucy's pov)
Lucy was free. She could barely believe she had done it. She had escaped from her fate of marrying some scumbag who only wanted her as eye candy or a home maker. She had evaded her father's will. She could feel the ocean's breeze on her skin as she stood on the beach, her lungs taking in copious amounts of air as she let the soft sway of the waves calm her frayed nerves. She was nervous, hell, she was terrified. This was the first time she was all alone. Well, mostly alone, she amended feeling her keys glow at her hip. She was taking in the swells and squacks of the seagulls until a body clashed with her's knocking her into the sand.
"Dammit Luffy! Watch where your going!" Comes a voice picking the body off of Lucy's. Lucy looks up and sees a shirtless black haired man with red beads around his neck holding a similar looking young man with a straw hat and a red vest up by the scruff of his neck.
The young man in the straw hat looks at Lucy. "Sorry kid." He says and the older man sets him down. Straw hat holds out his hand to help her up. "Im Monkey D. Luffy." He says as Lucy dusts herself off. "And this is my brother Portgas D. Ace." He says pointing to the older man. Ace smiles "Nice to meet you." He says
"My name is Lucy, nice to meet you too." Lucy smiles timidly and shakes Luffy's hand. Luffy smiles. "Where are you headed?" Ace asks. "Right now I'm not sure exactly where I'm headed, but I'm thinking that I want to join a guild someday and go on tons of adventures. Where are you headed?" Lucy asks. Luffy gets really close to Lucy's face and seems to be studying her. "What's a guild?" He asks confused, scratching his head under his hat. Lucy blinks at him. "Its where mages go to get jobs and make friends, you can't be a full fledged mage without a guild." she says softly. "What's a mage?" Luffy and Ace blink. "Oh.. Its a person who can use magic. Like me." Lucy says jabbing her thumb at herself smiling, the brothers study her for a moment. "Is that a type of devil fruit?" Luffy asks.
Lucy's jaw drops and she deadpans. Then she slams a fist into the top of his head, sending him face first into the sand. "No it's not a devil fruit!" She yells. "Do you live under a rock?!" Ace frowns. "Then show us what you mean then." he says picking Luffy up and out of the sand. Lucy sighs as Luffy dusts himself off. She pulls a golden key from her belt and walks over to the water swelling onto the beach. She goes in about knee deep and takes a breath as she pokes the key's teeth into the water. She shouts, "Open! Gate of the Water Bearer!" She turns it. "Aquarius!" A huge ripple is sent into the water and the air becomes still as the water glows. A giant mermaid with blue hair, a golden tiara, and a sapphire brazier to match the beautiful scales on her tail. This mermaid was very beautiful.
Ace and Luffy's jaws drop as their noses start to bleed. "Whatcha need kid? Did you do it?" Aquarius asks laying on the beach so only her tail was in the water. Lucy walks out of the water and sits down on dry sand. She looks at Luffy and Ace and snickers. Aquarius leans in towards Lucy. "Are they trying to catch flies or something?" she says rather quietly. Lucy shakes her head, unable to control her laughter. "No. they have just never seen magic before." Lucy says. Aquarius shakes her head, a wry smile on her face. Luffy makes his way over. "Whoa! Where did this giant fish lady come from?" he asks, so shocked he has to hold his straw hat on. "I'm a mermaid, you brat!" Aquarius shouts and brings in a large swell of water, pulling him out to sea. Luffy, Ace and Lucy all scream as they get taken out farther than anyone has been out without a boat. Ace and Luffy scream and go under. "AQUARIUS! THEY'RE DROWNING!" Lucy yells towards the shore.
They get sucked back towards the shore. "Sorry.." Aquarius mutters as Ace and Luffy sputter and hack up the water they wish they hadn't swallowed. "Guys, this is my friend Aquarius. She's a celestial spirit. I summoned her here with magic." Lucy says as they catch their breaths. "That's pretty impressive, Lucy.." Luffy says "That your friend can do all that..and that you can make her appear out of thin air.." Aquarius helps them to stand as she looks at Lucy to explain. "I don't make her appear through thin air, I use a key to open an invisible doorway between our world and hers." Lucy says. "How are you supposed to find the door if its invisible?" Luffy asks. Lucy slams her fist into his head again, sending him back into the sand. Ace dusts himself off. "Its not like that, stupid!" Lucy says, exasperated. "The door can be any surface of water. I just have to put the key in it and turn it." Aquarius nods. "She can only call me on certain days though, unless the need is dire. Our contract forbids it. Which means she always has to keep her promises." she says. Lucy smiles softly. "How do you learn magic?" Ace asks thoughtfully looking at Aquarius. "My mom taught me magic, she was a celestial wizard like me." Lucy says smiling a little. "Then why aren't you with her?" Luffy asks confused. Lucy looks down at her toes, as she wiggles them in the warm sand. "My mama passed away four years ago.. When I was ten. My dad doesn't seem to care so I took mama's keys and ran away.." Lucy says and Aquarius nods. "I encouraged her to, that man cared more for his money than his own daughter." she says as Ace whacks Luffy for being insensitive. "I'm so sorry!" Luffy apologizes.
"Why are you guys here?" Lucy asks looking at them curiously. "Well, I'm a pirate aboard Whitebeard's crew.." Ace says and Luffy suddenly looks super excited and determined. "And I'm going to be king of the pirates someday!" Luffy exclaims loudly. Lucy's eyes grow wide as she looks them over in seemingly a new light. "Pirates huh?" Aquarius says looking them over intrigued. "Brat, your first friends are pirates. I like where this is heading." Aquarius adds absently. "That doesn't answer my question." Lucy says. "Well I was getting to that before my little brother interrupted." Ace says "We're docked over by the warf for restocking." Lucy nods. "What exactly do you buy? Just food and rum?" Lucy asks.
Ace laughs. "We buy clothes for the crew, lumber and other things to make repairs on the ship, ammunition, first aid supplies, and a bunch of other stuff to keep the crew from going nuts out at sea." He says. Luffy nods in agreement.
"i think being a pirate would be exciting. you get to hunt for treasure and make all kinds of friends and go on awesome adventures. the stars would probably even look amazing on the sea." Lucy says her eyes sparkling as she looks at Ace and smiles as he looks at her. He can't help thinking about how beautiful she is. He suddenly falls over. "Whoa! Oh my goodness! Is he ok?" Lucy asks, freaking out. She hops up to rush over, but Luffy stops her. "It's alright, he does this all the time." he says and turns Ace over. He's snoring loudly. "See?" Luffy says dusting him off some.
Lucy's jaw drops in shock. "Wow that's really weird!" she says and steps away. "Nah. That's just Ace." Luffy says. They hear a really loud bell ringing. Ace starts awake, sitting straight up. "I guess it's time to go." he says and gets up. "Lucy, I have to go. Call me if you need me." Aquarius says and disappears in a flash of light. Luffy looks at the depression she made in the sand with amazement. Ace stands up and heads towards the large docking area in town. Lucy and Luffy follow. "Hey Lucy. Where are you living?" he asks. She bites her lip and pokes her fingers together nervous and embarrassed. "I.." she says "I don't live anywhere.." Her voice is small and scared as she looks down, hiding her face. Ace looks at her. "Join me on the Moby Dick." he says. She and Luffy look up at him, eyes wide. "What?" they exclaim.
