Chapter 1 – A group of weirdos and a pirate ship
Xxx
"Ai! Come down here at once!" I sighed as this familiar voice pierce through my mind. I closed my book as hard as I could.
"I'm coming!" I yelled back. For those who wonders who that voice belonged I'm pleased – not – to inform you that that was my idiotic mother, Mary Clawrice. You know how everybody always says that your parents love you? Well, that isn't true. Okay, maybe it's not like that for you but my parents hate me. At least my mom. Even if my dad – Kyo Clawrice – didn't hate me that wouldn't make any change. You see, my dad is terrified by my mom and he does everything that my mom asks him to do. So if my mom asks him to ignore me, he does that.
"Are you coming or what, you damn brat?!" Mom yelled to me again. Her voice brought me back from my thoughts and in to the real world again.
"I said I was coming, didn't I?!" I yelled back. I sighed low as I leaved my small room. I walked down to see what my mother wanted. Mom stood in the end of the stairs with her arms crossed and a very annoyed look on her face.
"What?" I said and tried not to glare at her though she was glaring hatefully at me.
"I want you to clean the restaurant" She said. I turned around.
"Hell no, that won't happen" I said.
"Oh, Sweetie you'll do it. You'll do it 'cause you don't want to sleep at the street" Mom said as I turned around again. She had an fake smile on her lips. I smiled back at the same way.
"Fine" I said. "I'll do it then!"
"Good" Mom said. "Now hurry, pick out the things and get started. You know where everything is" With that said she walked away and leaved me alone. I sighed heavely. Why didn't I have the courage to stand up to her?

I probably should have told you that our family owns a restaurant. It's actually the biggest one at this small island. Our house is also built on the restaurant, so our house looks kind of funny. Anyways, I hate that damn restaurant. Mostly 'cause makes me clean there, cook there and basically do everything there. We don't really have that many employers just 'cause mom depends very much at me when it comes to this point. I personally think that all of our employers quit because mom is so mean.
I sighed as I took one blue, dirty swab and started to clean one of the tables. This stuff is never clean so I don't really think that the table is getting much cleaner when I clean them. Anyways, that was when I first saw them. They were 7 people – 3 girls, 3 boys and 1 little thing. I think the thing was a girl 'cause it was wearing a white and pink ribbon. The person I noticed the most was the boy in the front. He had orange hair that stood out in every way and even from this distance I could see that he had really black eyes. He wore a very old straw hat. This guy was dressed in a orange, unbuttoned west which really showed that this guy was well-trained. Nice abs.. Okay, that sounded just weird – so scratch that. He was also wearing a pair of black – almost gray – shorts. This guy – let's call him the straw hat guy for the moment – seemed to be argue with two of the girls in the group as they sat down on a table close to the exit.
These two girls looked almost the same so I figured out that they must be twins. The only big difference between them was that the girl on the left had their long, black hair in a long braid. The girl on the left was wearing a kind of short red dress. The other girl was wearing a pair of light blue jeans with holes on both of the knees and just a orange bikini top to that. Both the girls clothes seemed cold to me. Anyways, both of the girls had tattoos on their right arms. I think that it was their names but sadly I couldn't read what was spelled from this distance. Curious about this group and what they were talking about I took my stuff and went to clean the table next to them instead.
"Why in the world would you want a new crew mate?!" the girl with the braid said. "Aren't the 8 of us good enough for you?" So this wasn't all of them? The straw hat boy sighed.
"You guys are absolutely fine, Belle. But don't you guys also think we need some fresh blood, right?" The straw hat asked and turned towards all of the others.
"Well, you all start to get boring" A girl with long, straight, greenish hair said with chuckle. I saw that she had green eyes though her left eye was almost hidden under her fringe. On her back this girl was carrying two swords. She wore a white t-shirt with the text FEARLESS in black and a pair of black slacks which looked like they were a bit to big for her. She also wore a big, green sash over her waste
"I couldn't agree more. I get especially tired of SOME PEOPLE" One of the two other guys said. The guy had blond, short hair and light blue eyes – they looked a bit like ice. He wore a white shirt and a dark blue tie. He was also dressed in a simple, pair of black jeans. He was glaring at the third and last boy who was sleeping for the moment. He had kind of long, dark green - almost black - hair who was tied up in a short tuft. Because of the fact that this guy was sleeping I didn't know his eye color though I guessed that it was green. Anyways, this guy was wearing a simple black t-shirt from the brand 'Criminal'. That t-shirt must have been expensive... He was also a pair of dark gray slacks and had a brown belt with two swords on his left side.
"Thanks for the support, guys!" The straw hat guy said with ironic tone in his voice. After that he muttered something that I wasn't able to hear.
"Aw, com on bro!" The black haired girl without the girl said with a smile towards the straw hat guy. "If we thought that we were boring by now, that wouldn't be weird, right? After all, we've been growing up together and have been together since then"
"B-but I like you all! Is that wrong?" The little thing said. It feels dumb calling it thing but I can't come up with something better than that. Well, it looked like a regular reindeer except that it had a blue nose, could walk on two legs and the most important thing – IT COULD TALK! Reindeer's can't talk, if I remember right. You know, this whole group screamed weird and abnormal to me. Sure the straw hat guy and the other guys were hot but that didn't change that fact that they seemed weird. But you can be hot and weird at the same time, right?
I sighed and stopped swabbing the table. I laid the swab in my bucket full of soap water. I took the bucket and was about to walk towards the door til our house, when THAT happened. This little idea of mine turned out to be a horrible mistake. You see, while I was listening to this group little conversation someone else had start swabbing the floor without me noticing it. So at my first step towards the door and slipped! Me and all the water landed on the straw hat boy. Just my luck! The straw hat looked at me with a very surprised look. I guess that's natural if someone suddenly land in your knee and you get soaking wet. Quickly, I moved away from him. I didn't look at the others around the table but I had this strong feeling that they were about to burst into laughter.
"Sorry" I muttered low as I bowed towards the straw hat boy. I quickly picked up all of my things and ran away from the table, into our house as soon as I had finished my apologize.
"Such a interesting girl" I heard someone of them mumble right before I went in to our house and closed the door loudly.

That was really, really embarrassing. Do I have to spell it to you? E-M-B-A-R-R-A-S-S-I-N-G! With big letters! When mom get to know about this, I've got no idea what she will do to me. I just made one of our customers soaking wet, just because of my usual clumsiness. Maybe I just should pack some bags with things I need and leave this place directly. I bet that my parents wouldn't even miss me!
Somebody knocked at my door and brought me back from my planes to leave this place. Well, it must be dad. Mom never knocks. She thinks that just because she owns this place she can go where the hell wants to and that kind of pisses me of!
"Come in!" I said and sighed as the door opened. Just as I had though,t it was my dad. "Is there some problem?"
"Well.. Your mom.. and I've been thinking" He started. He seemed nervous for some reason – more nervous then usual. "..that maybe ..you should move out. After all, you're 19 years old by now and should be able to take care of yourself" It was silent for some seconds as I took in this brand new information. They want me to move out..? That's pretty much the same as saying 'we're kicking you out'. Just a nicer version of it.
"So you say, that you and mom are kicking me out?" I said as the anger started to boil inside me.
"No, no, no!" Dad denied it. Well, deny it all you can, old man! I won't believe you! "We just think that you should start your own life! Your real life!" This must be moms idea.
"This was moms idea, am I right?" I asked. Dad didn't answer but it was answer enough for me. Of course it was her idea! "Fine" I said after a couple seconds of awkward silence. "I'll move out. Just let me pack some things I want to bring with me and after that I'm out of here" My dad nodded quickly and disappeared. I sighed deeply and started with taking out two bags I already had in my room. I started to pack down things like clothes and my favorite books. As I was doing this, I repeated the same sentence over and over again inside my head: I get to leave this fucking place!
Xxx
To pack all my things didn't take so long time. All the things I wanted and needed fit perfectly in my two bags and I leaved everything else. They would – hopefully – soon just be bad memories.
"Good by then, Sweetie" Mom said to me as I was putting on my shoes and made myself ready to leave. She gave me her usual evil smile that to the appearance seemed kind.
"Bye, mom" I said and gave her my version of her smile.
"Oh, by the way Sweetie" Mom said as I opened the door. "You have to find a place to stay yourself. Your dad and I haven't found some place for you" Which meant 'we haven't bothered looking for a place for you to stay. Do it yourself, brat!'. Well, that's how I would translate it.
"Whatever" I said as I lifted up the bags and drew a hand through my hair. I went outside.
"Will you come back?" Mom asked me.
"Hopefully not" I said and shut the door right in my mothers face.

I walked towards the center of the city – or the center of the island, actually – when I saw something unusual in the harbour. It was a big pirate ship. Our island is so small so many boats doesn't bother to stay here. They usually walk by this island and stop at some of the others island around here that's a bit bigger. So this pirate ship was a rare sight here. Just because of this I had to check it out so I went to the harbour.
When I got there I first looked at the flag. It was a skull wearing a straw hat and behind it was some sorts of swords. In the left upper corner there was some letters, but I didn't see what stood there. I went even closer and drew my hand over the boats wood layers.
"Hey! What do you think you're doing to our boat?" I heard a voice from behind. I instantly turned around to see the straw hat boy and his two black haired sister. That was surprising.
"Oh, I'm just looking at it" I explained fast. "I was just about to go, so-"
"Doesn't this girl look familiar, Sherry?" The girl with the braid that I heard before was named Belle interrupted me. Her sister that apparently was named Sherry wrinkled her forehead as both of the girls took a few steps closer towards me too observe me.
"She sure does, sis" Sherry said as her brown eyes observed me closely from tip to toe. "Wait! You're the girl from the restaurant, right? The one who the threw the water over Gale?" I nodded slowly and looked down. Not exactly something I wanted them to remember. Well, I guess it isn't so easy to forgot. Anyways, It was just a couple hours ago too.
"I am" I muttered with a low voice.
"Tank you!" Both of the sisters said in unison. Surprised about their reaction, I looked up with a confused facial expression.
"Excuse me, but what did the two of you just said?" I asked. I had to confirm that I hadn't heard wrong.
"We thanked you!" Belle said and smiled towards me. Sherry nodded and chuckled low.
"Yeah, 'cause that looked so funny! You should have seen our brothers face after that. He was red as a tomato!" Sherry said and laughed about the memory. Nervously, I smiled towards the two of them.
"Anyways, why are you here?" Belle asked me.
"Well, I kind of got kicked out" I said and shrugged my shoulders.
"That's horrible!" Belle said and wrinkled her forehead.
"My parents are like that" I said and slowly turned around. "So I kind of have to go, 'cause I have to find a place to stay"
"Why not staying with us then?" Sherry asked and I turned around quickly.
"Yeah! Join our crew!" Belle said and smiled towards me again.
"You two can't be serious!" I protested. " You don't want me in your crew! I'm clumsy and have really bad temper sometimes"
"Who cares?" Belle said. "Everyone in our crew are a bit weird" Yeah, thanks fo the information, but I've already noticed that, you see.
"Aw, com on! It should be fine!" Sherry said."Right, bro?" Sherry turned around. Under my little conversation with Belle and Sherry I had forgotten about the straw hat guy – Gale. Gale sighed deeply.
"You two already mad up your mind, right?" Gale asked his sisters and the two of them nodded.
"And you said you wanted a new member, remember?" Sherry said and grinned towards her brother. Gale nodded.
"I did, but I didn't say that I wanted one that throws water over me though" Gale said and glared at me. I looked down in the ground.
"It wasn't on purpose" I muttered.
"Whatever, but as the two of you already mad up your mind I guess I don't have another choice" Gale said with a sigh. "When the two of you decide something you can't change your mind. Welcome to the Straw hats Jr then, girl-that-threw-water-over-me!"
