The Great Race.

DISCLAIMER: We own nothing One Piece, except our characters, Vixen and Storm.

A sword gleamed in the blood red sunset.The merchant blanched, the point at his throat. The purple-eyed swordgirl before him grinned wickedly. The merchant cursed. "Blast you!" he croaked at the red headbeauty who was loading a slingshot. She smiled. "Hey, it's what we do." She pulled out her trademark ammo, sparkly turquoise ammo. She loaded her slingshot with absolute calmness. "Now," she said, turning to the crew, who were huddled on the deck whimpering, "Time to say 'Good-bye.'"

A panicked scream arose from the sailors. "They're gonna kill us!"

The red-head rolled her eyes toward heaven. "Now, now. Why would I want to kill such unusally idiotic people? That's not my style." The purple-eyed girl smirked. "We'll just hang you out like wet laundry."

>>> Here's a description of the two girls...

Vixen: She is a red-haired beauty, but she doesn't like to flaunt it. She has flaming red hair and it ends with white tips. She normally wears it up in a ponytail, so therefore, it looks like a fox-tail. Her eyes are brown with orange flecks. Her hobbies are cooking, drawing, designing, painting and sharpshooting, which as earned her the nick-name, "Sharpshoot Queen." She is very loyal and willign to do anything for her friends, even give her life. She has a radient calm about her, hiding a troubled past. Her friends are loyal and trustworthy. Pirate by choice, she enjoys sunsets, romantic moonlight and poems. She also enjoys candle lit dinners that she prepares herself.

Storm: She is rather ordinary. Her hair is black, and falls to her midsection. She has tannish skin and a sprinkle of freckles dominates her nose and cheeks. But her eyes stand out the most. They are purple and they sparkle with a shine of stars. Her hobbies include books, boys, singing, dancing, and fighting. She is almost always hyper, and loves to tease both her friends and any boys she meets on the way. Pirate by blood, she first introduced her friend Vixen to the call of the sea. She is also very loyal and loves to act. She loves sun-rises, candle-lit reading sessions on the beach and drinking. Her nick-name is "Flirt Princess."

Storm heaved on the last sailor. He begged with her not to throw him over the bow. She ignored him adn threw him over to join his mates. They watched as the two girls marched off their ship and onto a smaller craft, but beautifully built. The flag that flew from the mast was one of bright blue, with a black star in the center.

"So, do you want to go to this quiant little town nearby? I hear they've got a good tavern there." Storm remarked to her companian.

"Sure, what else do we have to do?" They prepared to set sail. The captian prayed that they would leave without remembering the...

"WAIT!" called Storm from the tiller. "We forgot the treasure!" The capt. groaned. Teh girls reboarded the ship and entered the capt.s quarters. A few minutes later, they exited, carrying two bags of treasure. As they climbed down the gang-plank, Storm turned to the sailors. "Tootle-ooo!" she sang, waving at her purple nailed hand at the crew. Vixen groaned.

"Storm, you do not flirt with the victims!"

"Well, why not?"

"Well, because...because...because they are victims! Pirates do not flirt with men they have tied up like laundry!"

"I don't care, I like all men!"

"Shut up!"

"Make me! Ow!"

"Serves you right! Now, where is this tarven you were talking about?"

"Slightly to the north and east. And if you try that slingshot trick again I'll..."

"Shut up and navagate!"

They sailed off, still bickering. The captian sighed. Yet another strike by the infamous pirate queen crew of two. Lady Vixen and Lady Storm.
