Chapter One

It was a starry night when Andria looked at the sky; a light breeze was blowing on her face bringing with it the seas fragrance. She felt at ease with gentle romance blossoming in her heart body and soul. The breeze was cool while the atmosphere was warm which set the perfect night, almost like a beautiful spring day.

She was looking ahead of the Straw hat pirate's ship; just beside the head of the going marry. She loved the ship, so many fond memories with the pirates. This was her home. The night was so perfect, she could of stayed out there forever in an eternal night if it was as beautiful as this one.

As Andria was gazing at the beautiful night she heard light footsteps coming up behind her, and soon Sanji was standing beside her also gazing at the sea where it met the twinkling sky. The moon was large and resting on the horizon.

"It's a beautiful night, isn't it," Sanji commented casually while smoking his cigarette.

"Yeah, it is" Andria replied as though the scenery had taken her breath away.

"Not as beautiful as you."

Andria paused, "Sanji, why don't you sweet talk someone else. I know you're just a perv." Though for the past couple of weeks Sanji had been off womanising for some reason, but Andria still couldn't trust him.

Sanji made no answer; instead he kept staring out into the distance, as silent as the night itself.

Andria examined him, he was handsome she thought, even though he was a pervert. He was so manly and thin, not bulky, and didn't have too much muscle. He was quite attractive, almost perfect. She thought 'what if he wasn't a womaniser? Maybe he and I would be the right match. His handsome, and very romantic, but nah, his just a pervert.'

Just as Andria went to turn back to look at Sanji he was completely turned to her, body and all. His eyes looked straight at hers. The look was hard to describe. It was kind of menacing but didn't seem to be directed at her. No, it was directed at a thought he was pondering though he was obviously aware that he was staring right into her eyes. Whether he was aware that his look alarmed her it was not certain. But soon enough his gaze became softer and gentle before he bowed to her, wished her a good night, and walked off to bed.

'His behaviour tonight was strange' she thought. He would normally keep harassing a girl even when he is rejected. In the past he would of offered her flowers and would continue to woo her, though tonight he feel very silent and was even sent into deep thought. How strange.

She continued to stay outside in the sweetness of the night. It was calm and peaceful, and the moon's light shone a light white shine over the ship. The waters were calm and the small ripples of the water were accompanied by a white glittering light. She could sit there forever and wanted so badly to reach her hand into the water and feel the fresh chill. The beautiful silence was broken by the snoring of Zoro who was sitting in a corner of the deck. He looked peaceful somewhat, for once.

Andria finally decided to go back to sleep but before she could get back to her room she sat down on a barrel and instantly fell asleep. She must have been more tired than she thought. Her right forearm rested over the edge of the ship while her back was resting on a crate. The gentle waves hit lightly on the ship which kept Andria fast sleep, soothing her dreams and thoughts.
