A Beary Big Surprise

Chapter 1:
Ivy slowly opened her eyes and lay there as she waited for her alarm to sound. The irritating beeping sounded seconds after and with a scowl she gave the poor thing a powerful thwack that ended her torture. The teen slid out of her bed and welcomed the soothing cold air as she got dressed. I need to work on this insomnia problem or get myself pills! I can barely stay asleep! I seriously need some help, preferably from someone with my problem as well… She looked around expectantly then sighed. Yeah, right. Like Trafalgar f***ing Law is gonna walk through that door and help me out. I need to get a grip. The girl put on her jacket then put on her backpack. She didn't have school that day, she just really loved her kitty backpack and she never left the house without it. Inside she had her sketchbook and a journal where she kept her information on her favorite Animes (One Piece) characters. She then walked out of her apartment as she sighed again. Down the street a man with a cloak walked past her while bumping her right shoulder. "Sorry little Miss. No harm done, right?" The man looked worried and sweat dropped as she stared him down. Did that really piss her off? "Yeah! No harm done. Have a nice day sir!" The girl smiled then, she took swift bow and walked off without a second glance at him. I think I may have been over thinking that, he thought as he smiled after her.

I think that I will take the short cut to work since I'm running late. Ivy expertly scaled the stone wall of the wall next to her then ran along the thin stones. When she got close to a street she began to cartwheel then flipped over the street. Her feet hit the top of the opposite wall and she stuck the landing. She then began to run again but stopped when she saw a kitten stuck in a tree. She jumped into the tree to retrieve the small white fuzz ball and reached out her hand. The small kitten saw this and leapt into the girls arms and in her surprise the girl lost her footing. She fell, holding the kitten to her chest, waiting for the pain to come but it never did. She landed on a bubble and she opened her eyes when she sank into what she thought was the ground. Ivy's eyes bulged and she let out a squeak of excitement at the sight before her. She was in Sabaody Archipelago in Grove 1 on one of the huge bubbles and it was getting dark. She felt a smile spread across her face as she slowly slid off the bubble. Once on the ground again she began to walk off but stopped when her stomach growled. The kitten mewed its own hunger and she rummaged through all her pockets for money then, when she was about to give up Ivy reached into her jacket pocket and found two weird lookin' fruits in the right hand pocket. When did those get in there? Oh well, might as well eat it since I don't have any money. Ugh, Danny is so gonna kill me for being late... Eeh, like I care. Ivy ate the brown melon shaped fruit with swirls then fed the kitten a similar fruit only the second was a fiery red. The kitten coughed after eating the fruit and Ivy followed in suit, "God that was disgusting!" Wait... Ivy looked around again then she froze, why does it look like Sabaody here? That island is fictional! It's in my favorite anime for Pete's sake! Ivy then stumbled into an alley and froze, she looked down and suddenly she realized that she had turned into a bear. "Well, at least now I know which devils fruit I ate... What does yours do?" She turned to the kitten and watched, amazed, as the cat transformed into a lion the size of a horse with a mane of fire. "Cool..." Ivy focused then she felt a shift and she was back to herself. I guess it's good this fruit doesn't effect my clothes. She felt the kitten nudge her leg and Ivy picked her up. The two continued to walk along until they came to the bad end of the island. Ivy stopped and turned to see the hired help for the auction slowly surround her. She smiled then said, "Okay you got me, I will come willingly so you don't have to beat or manhandle me." She stepped closer to one of the men and held out her hand while the other held the small kitten. "Lead me away boys, oh, and if you want, I could pretend to be knocked out but the kitten is important to me." She then screamed before 'fainting' into the mans arms. She felt him stiffen and he muttered a few words before carrying her off. She fell asleep in his arms and when she woke up she was at the auction house. She sat up and yawned before the man from the other night came for her. She saw now that he was a lean man in black clothes, leather boots and had an orange bandana across his forehead and he grunted for her to get up in a gruff voice before leading her away and mumbled a quick "Thanks" before he shoved her through a door. She righted herself and when she saw a guard reach for her she held up a hand as she walked over to the chair and sat down. "So, what do ya want ta know?" Ivy smiled at the man and he just stared at her. He had never seen a slave-to-be smiling and he felt an awkward tension settle around him. "Uh, Name? Age? Talents?" "Oh! Well that's easy! My name is Ivy. I am 19 years old and I am an artist, I like to sing and I'm a pretty damn good cook if I do say so myself. Oh and I'm good with animals, see!" Ivy held up the kitten as proof then set her down. I still need a name for her... Oh! I'll call her Aka because she turned such a pretty red earlier. The girl grinned again then stood up to be locked away again. She sat there grinning before she turned her head to see Camie in a thick glass fish bowl, she was crying but when she saw Ivy smiling at her she stopped and stared in confusion. 'I'm sorry about Hachi' was all Ivy could mouth before rough hands hauled her away toward the stage. As she was shoved away Ivy was still smiling and she saw Camies' face which was contorted as she pondered what the girl had mouthed. Ivy was thrust onto the stage and she smiled at the sight before her.
