Opening:

Western town setting. Plush long grass, drying in the harsh sun. Buildings set in America's Manifest Destiny times (Chipped bright paint on dark wood houses and cabins).

N(arrator):

A lone town, cooling of as the sun set, sending waves of oranges, yellows, and reds across the sky. Everyone was inside, either finishing up their suppers or laughing quietly in their own musings, going about and relaxing during the free time they had before bedtime. Not a soul was out-

L(uffy):

(From a distance, coming closer, crescendoing.)

aaaaaaaaAAAHA!"

(Sprinted all the way to town center, and stops screaming when he reaches the center. The 'HA' indicating that he "made it".)

(Scratches head in confusion and lazily slouches posture.)

"Man (whines and draws the 'a' out). Where is everyone?"

(Curiously runs around, peeking over boxes and through windows.)

(Drags feet to the center again and plops onto back, bored expression etched deep on face.)

(Muttering.) "Ran all the way here for nothing!"

N:

Ahem... Only one soul dared to break tradition; a foreigner with absolutely no sense of direction. Or decency, for that matter. That hair and those ripped up jean shorts... Ugh. Now, where was I? Yes, a soul dared to break the lazy spell. The boy had, however, no inkling AT ALL. Of anything; where he was, what to do next, what could he eat... Gosh darnit, this little twerp...

I apologize. Who ever wrote this bloody script needs to reevaluate how accurate it is to the real thing. How in the WORLD is this boy a captain of a ship?!

(Whinny sounds in the distance. N just sighs and drops mic, letting a loud, ugly ring pierce L's poor, under (or over?) estimated ears.)

(Distant howling and laughter, crescendoing.)

H(arley):

"...yeaaaaaAAAAH! WOHOO!"

(Rides a palomino (horse, if you don't know) into center. Horse tramples L as it stops when H screams "WOHOO!")

(N comes back, a pain killer in one hand and coffee in te other. Swallowing the drug, they watch the frozen scene; L with a hoof in his chest, eyes bugging out of their sockets. H looking happily ignorant as she is inces from accidently stepping on a no-no zone for L.)

(N Chuckles at L's misfortune.)

N:

That, my friend, is karma. Now...

(Swipes mic off of the ground and taps it, whincing as it screeches a bit.)

Where was I? Ah, Luffy's first time meeting Harely... As we can see, it was a rather strong first impression!

(Laughs a bit at own humour.)

N:

... ANYWHO! Despite the... rough start, they later become almost inseperable friends, joined at the thumb, or at the hip, as they say.

That is all for Scene One, this was Luffy Meeting Harely.

Thank you!

IKanS here! Hope you all will enjoy the next few small snippits I'll lay out here and there! This lil baby was born around midnight for me, so I just thought, "Why not now?"

I would enjoy any feedback that could improze my writing!
