Warning(s): Well... language, and violence.
Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN ONE PIECE! Oda-sensei does ^^. If I did I would defiantly have kept Ace alive.
A/N: So there will be paring in this. I might ask for some OCs later as minor characters for Whitebeard's crew later and if you want you can have a guy or girl. Luffy is reserved though. I will be using one of my friend's OC as Mae's best friend. Sorry for OOC-ness... I'm working on it .
A young girl, maybe only 10, was sitting on the edge of a cliff just looking out to the sea. She had semi long black hair with red highlights that flowed gently in the wind. On top of her head was a pair of white ray-ban sunglasses, her bangs framed her slightly tanned face and partially covered her right eye. She was wearing a simple black tank top with a purple music note on it and black shorts that she would fold up to her thighs. All was calm as the salty mist sprayed the air.
"Hey Mae . . ." The girl's eyes snapped open as she looked at the person who disturbed her peace. The person was a boy, only a year older, his face was dotted with childlike freckles and his black hair was slightly wavy. She just stared into is jet black eyes then turned back to the ocean. He had seen her face and she was crying. Sabo's death had taken a toll on all of them but it seemed like Mae still couldn't get over it.
"Ace, I-" She was cut of as a pair of arms wrapped around her; she started to melt. Ace rested his head on her shoulder as she leaned back. He began to hum; the tone of his voice began to calm her mind as the crying stopped. A few moments later Mae turned around and gave Ace a small smile.
"Thanks…" She looked down as red started to color her face. Ace smiled at how girly and out of character she looked, then stood up and reached a hand out to her. The black haired chibi looked up with her still red face, she grabbed his hand as he helped her up.
"We should get going. Luffy is probably wondering where we are." Ace said while slightly pulling her in the direction of the house.
The girl, now 16, ran out after the black haired freckled boy.
"ACE!" She called out to him sprinting just a little faster. Somehow she was gaining on him and almost caught up. He suddenly took a sharp turn to the left and Mae was left stumbling around the corner. She started to cry as she dropped to her knees.
"P-please don't l-leave… Ace… I-I lo- " Her hands muffled the rest of her voice, as her body shook as she cried. The boy's figure just kept getting farther and farther away, slowly disappearing.
l woke up startled and brought me hands up to my head trying to ease the pounding and just sighed.
"It was just a dream, things didn't turn out like that… I left him…" I quickly jumped out of bed.
"Oh well time to start the day! Lets not ruin my day with some dream… Right?" I got dressed in my normal attire: a purple tube top with a long collared, black, button-up vest (that was never buttoned) and black shorts that folded up a little above mid thighs. I strapped my bag on my right thigh, to hold many various items and well anything else I wanted. I also had a necklace, mother had gave it to me when I was young; It was a black crescent moon with a moonstone in the middle. I stared into the mirror until I deemed myself presentable and walked out of the small room.
"Hey Mae!" One of the guys behind her called out. I inwardly smiled, then turned around to see a fairly tall man with blond hair that I always thought was styled funny. It was a pompadour hairstyle, which went to a point at the back of his head, he also had some black stubble around his chin.
"Oh hey Thatch, whacha' you up to?" Mae asked as he caught up to her.
"Nothing much but I heard you were going on a shopping trip for supplies, I was wondering if you could some extra alcohol, if you know what I mean." I just looked up at him and laughed.
"Yeah sure Thatch, but only if I have some extra money and I want to buy some new clothes or something."
"Thanks Mae! You're the best! Marco won't even do that for me." He gave me a big hug then ran off to something probably mess with Marco or someone else.
By the time I made it to Whitebeard's room I was asked by 3 people to get them stuff! Gosh these boys need everything don't they. Sigh… I knocked on the large door and waited. I heard a rough "come in" so I opened the door.
"Hey Oyaji." I casually called out.
"Are you ready to go my daughter? The trip will take about a week so make sure you bring enough clothes and food. You should know what we need so enjoy your little time off." The old man smiled.
"I'll call you guys when I'm almost home. Oh and if anything happens when I'm gone I expect to hear every detail! And do kill yourself before I get back." He just laughed and I gave him a huge grin.
"Ok go on. Marco should have got your boat ready already." I nodded and left the room. I walked to my room to get everything then to the deck and Marco walked up to me.
"Got everything?" The blonde man asked me.
"Yep! All in here." I patted my bag that hung off my shoulder.
"Well then have fun on your trip, sorry I can't go with you though. Someone has to keep Thatch out of trouble." Marco gave me a toothy grin and I put my hand up in a fist.
"Its all good. Well I'll be off!" I fist bumped him and walked over to the small boat.
"Oh!" Marco called out, "I put your board in there too! Just in case u want to pull the boat instead." I just nodded as thanks and waved good-bye to everyone on the deck.
I jumped into the boat and unattached it from the Moby Dick. I waved good-bye as I sailed away towards the island. Everything was calm as I sailed out, the waves were good and the wind was strong. I was going to get there in two days tops if this kept up.
"Mmmmm! ~ This is gonna be great!" I stretched then yawned and laid back. I started to hum the tune to Domino (by Jessie J), the calm waters seemed like they started to sing with me.
"I can taste the tension like a cloud of smoke in the air~
Now I'm breathing like I'm running cuz your taking me there
Don't you know~
You spin outta control"
I started taping foot to the beat and drumming my hands on a barrel of water next to me.
"Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooooh~
We can do this all night
Turn this club skintight
Baby come on~
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooooh~
Booming like a bass drum
Sparking up a rhythm
Baby come on~
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooooh~"
I jumped right into the chorus, but not before messing around with a few dance moves. None too big mainly arm and body movements.
"Rock my world into the sunlight
Make me scream the best I've ever known
Dirty dancing in the moonlight
Take me down like I'm a domino
Every second is a highlight
When we touch don't ever let me go
Dirty dancing in the moonlight
Take me down like I'm a domino"
I whipped out my air guitar, the wind picked up bringing me in my destination.
"You got me losing my mind
My heart beats outta time
I'm seeing Hollywood stars
You strum me like a guitar
I can taste the tension like a cloud of smoke in the air
Now I'm breathing like I'm running cuz your taking me there
Don't you know?
You spin me outta control~!"
I sat back down on the barrel of water, still continuing my drumming. My acapella with the nature's music almost made it sound better than the original I have on a tone dial back on the ship.
"Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooooh~
We can do this all night
Turn this club skintight
Baby come on~
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooooh~
Booming like a bass drum
Sparking up a rhythm
Baby come on~
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooooh~"
The chorus cam up again and I continued singing strong. I was having so much fun the time seemed to just fly by.
"Rock my world into the sunlight
Make me scream the best I've ever known
Dirty dancing in the moonlight
Take me down like I'm a domino
Every second is a highlight
When we touch don't ever let me go
Dirty dancing in the moonlight
Take me down like I'm a domino"
I held the last note longer, I didn't feel like finishing up the last part of the song I just ended there. The sky was starting to turn dark, suddenly my stomach growled. I took out some of the food Marco packed for me out. I'm pretty sure Thatch cooked if for me though. I was just a small lunch box, but man it was good. Thatch is an awesome cook. Once I finished everything I lay back down and stared up at the stars. They were amazing; I don't usually see them because of all the parties we have on the ship and I like to get inside early. I small smile graced my lips as I continued to stargaze, they all shown so bright and clear I wish I could see them all the time. My eyes slowly began to close, sleep was about to take me under.
_Enter dream land ._
"MAE! SABO! ACE!" A young black haired boy with a straw hat, a size to big, called out to the three kids running ahead of him.
"C'mon Lu! You have to hurry up if you want to keep up with us!" The black haired girl yelled out to the younger boy.
"Awww Mae your so meeannn!" Luffy whined but still continued to run after them.
"Mae you don't have to be so mean to Luffy. I mean he is only 7." The boy to her left spoke to her. He had short blonde hair that was small curls, also a black top hat with goggles sat on his head.
"Heh. And I'm only 9 so he'll be fine. He usually is." Mae was only a year younger than Sabo and Ace, but she, at times, act more mature… well sometimes.
"Mae is right, Sabo, Luffy can handle himself. It's not like we will be able to baby him all the time anyways." The black haired boy to her right spoke out. His hair was somewhat long and wavy, he also had freckles dot all over his cheeks.
"Oooh! What is this? Ace is not fighting with me? What a surprise." Mae smirked and looked over at the freckled boy. He just scoffed in reply.
"Really Mae? Are you really trying to pick a fight? And now of all times?" Sabo questioned her. Mae's smirk just got bigger.
"Hey we're almost home anyways and plus we could always get in some extra training here and there." She spoke as the house was beginning to come into sight.
"Whatever Mae, your on!" Ace challenged her and Mae nodded in acceptance.
They all made it back to the house in one piece. Luffy came a few minuets later but he wasn't all that tired. They all went towards the forest to the clearing for a good spot for sparring. In the clearing it was all green, the grass was new and fresh and no trees were in the way.
"C'mon Ace let's see what you got!" Mae and Ace stood across from each other. Mae took a stance, her arms up and her legs apart. Ace just stared at her and then ran at her. He attempted to kick her in the side but Mae blocked him then spun around and did a roundhouse kick. Ace jumped back to dodge but Mae was right on him. She punched him in the stomach. Ace hardly moved from his spot and smirked at her.
"Really Mae is that all you got?" The black haired girl got fed up and made her move to punch him again. Ace was still smirking and dodged her futile attack them kicked her side. Mae stumbled over but stayed standing. They continued to fight for a while until Ace eventually won. Luffy caught up to them in the middle of the fight. Mae stood up and slapped Ace in the back of the head.
"Ow! What was that for?" Ace yelled at her.
"Heh. Rule # 1 Don't hit a girl." She smiled and walked over to Sabo and inspected her bruises. Luffy started to get excited and wanted to fight someone so Sabo complied and they began. Ace got out of their way and sat next to Mae.
"It was your idea to fight, someone's a sore loser. You have never beaten me once you know that?" Ace mocked her but then smiled.
"What ever. Anyways are you ok? I got a few good hits in there." She looked over to the freckled boy.
"Yeah I'm fine I heal quickly anyways."
"Good, Oh look Luffy's getting his ass kicked. Again." They both laughed and watched as Sabo beat up their younger brother.
"Oh hey Mae."
"Yeah?" She was still staring at Luffy and Sabo. Luffy always got back up when Sabo punched him or kicked him. It was quite amusing.
"When are you gonna eat that fruit your parents gave you?" Mae looked over at him, a dark shadow quickly passed over her face, and then she looked back at the fight.
"Hmmm… Well I was thinking the day before I go out to sea or when ever I feel like it. My parents never really told me what it did." Ace just nodded.
"You know what. How about you eat it when you turn 14 cuz them me and Sabo will be 15 and you will have time to train before we go set sail."
"So in five more years huh? Sound good to me!" Mae and Ace bumped fists and watched as Luffy finally lost his battle against Sabo.
With one day gone and another day to come, the black haired beauty still lay asleep peacefully on her small boat. Her day was peaceful, no worries, no fights, just calm waters and good winds, the complete opposite of what was happening with the Moby Dick and her Oyaji.
