I walked to school very slowly. If I was forced to go to this god forsaken school, I was gonna get into as much trouble as possible. Heh, what can I say? It was my first day at school. I didn't know about the evil teachers, or the horrible bully's, or the cold and cruel preppy girls lurking in the halls of that great big high school. All I knew was stick to my gut and avoid school lunch. Middle school food was great(my school), but I had heard that high school lunch sucked. So, I packed my lunch.

The uniforms sucked too. They were a white skirt that had green and blue Irish-y type pattern and a blue collared shirt. The clothes were pretty cute together, but the clothes were pretty stiff and lacked personality. I usually wear 'Go Green' shirts which are well, erm green and sometimes white-ish? Well, anyway the clothes are suckish.

When I got to school, it was…late. Late enough for me to get detention at least. The lady who gave me the slip was skinny and had those pointy glasses. She was wearing a red suit and red lipstick. She was very…sharp, I guess. She gave me directions to my first class. Room 107. Dun dun dun!! See! That music means bad things…

Well, I went to the room bravely, not expecting to see what I saw. What I saw was an older man who had graying brown hair and was wearing a brown suit. That wasn't so bad. The bad part was the class. They were wearing basically the same thing!! It was soooo horrible, and I'm not one of those 'Your clothes suck' kind of people. I am a 'Wear what you want, when you want' kind of people. But, seeing all of thirty people wear basically the same thing, was just cruel.

"Your late." Oh wow…My teacher is king of the obvious.

I scratched behind my head and chuckled nervously. What was I supposed to do? Start screaming bloody murder in front of the whole class. They would all know my secret of being perpetually crazy. I didn't want them to find that out until the second week of school. I took a seat next to a girl in the third row. She was Hispanic and had black hair. She seemed pretty short. Then again, I'm 5'7.

The teacher then began to go into a lecture about the structures of molecules. He said his name was Mr.Livenberg. But what I don't get, is why he was talking about the structures of molecules when it was English. Whatever. Doesn't matter. I'll flunk this class anyway. I was doodling on a piece of paper, when something very unexpected happened. The girl sitting next to me jabbed me in the side. That made me fall out of my chair and the boys see under my skirt, and Mr.Livenberg to give me another detention.

After class, I went up to the girl who jabbed me in the side, and like expected, she was short…by my standards. She was about 5'0.

"Why did you jab me!?" I yell/asked the girl.

"Because you weren't paying attention." replied the girl.

"Uh…Does that mean you have to jab me in the side?" I asked, wasn't really expecting that answer.

"Yea. If all the other students have to pay attention, you have to too." uh…wow?

"Um……I'm Waver. You can call me Wav." I said. What was I supposed to do? Start karate chopping her?Random person raises hand and I glare.

"Nice to meet you Waver. I'm Marianne." said the girl-Marianne.

Ring ring ring ring ring ring ring!! The lunch bell resounded thru the halls. I turned to Marianne and she nodded her head. Can she read minds or something? Maybe…But I was hungry.

That's pretty much how my first week of school went. She jabbed me in the side when I didn't pay attention, we went to lunch and became good friends. I asked about her height a couple times and she said she was like a female Edward Elric. I laughed at that.It was funny.

Our first vacation of that year was winter break. It was cold. It didn't snow,but it was cold.My mom made me wear wool socks,a wool winter cap,and a warm jacket. My mom is pretty crazy.My dad is cool.He lets me do whatever I want.But for once,I'm glad my mom made me wear those things.Like I said,it was cold.Marianne was wearing a wool winter cap,sweatpants,and a warm jacket.We were gonna go grassboarding that day.There was one problem.No sleds.So we ended up walking around the mall.

"Hey Marianne,do you think popsicles are made from those ice sicles that hang off peoples houses?"I asked.I felt like being stupid that day.

"No," replied Marianne with a blank look on her face.Then her face twisted."Maybe...I don't know."

We started to question the making of popsicles, when I noticed a swords shop to the left of Marianne.I lurv swords so I got sparkle eyed.Marianne looked at me like I was a chubracobra with three heads,singing Yakee Doodle in a bar with Momo the monkey playing the bass guitar.I.Lurv.Swords.

Marianne looked in the direction of the sword shop, and got even more starry eyed than me.Next thing I knew,I was crashing into a wall.The wall belonged to the sword shop.Wow...If I loved swords,then Marianne must've worshipped them.

I picked myself up off the floor and walked over to where my sword worshipping friend was inspecting a 50 dollar katana.The katana had a black sheath and the handle was white with some black lacing around it.It looked awesome,the problem was the quality of a 50 dollar katana.

Marianne took the sword out of it's sheath,with the supervision of the store manager,and the blade shone with polish.The blade itself was made of titanium and steel blended together to form a strong compact material.

"This thing is 50 dollars?!" I exclaimed.I could not believe it.A great sword for 50 dollars...in the mall for that matter!

"Sure is.I have countless memories with this blade,I couldn't bare to just throw it out.I decided that I would sell it cheaply at my shop."explained the manager.

It didn't make since to me, but Marianne didn't care.She bought the sword, and dragged me out of there before I could look at anything.She really didn't care,she wanted to go back to her house and play with her sword.

"We still have to go clothes shopping."I reminded Marianne why we came to the mall in the first place.

"Oh yea..."Marianne changed direction and we went into a random clothes shop.

The shop had sections for Winter,Spring,Summer,and Fall.I guess they were trying to get rid of all their clothes.

Marianne picked out a bunch of black,and blue jeans,a few random tops with pairs of shoes.I grabbed jeans,black and blue,high heels,not like I needed them,new shoes,and different Go Green shirts.Go Earth!

While we were walking to the exit,I noticed a small fruit cart.The cart was full of mangos,apples,pineapples,pears,oranges,limes,lemons,and other fruit that I can't remember the names of.A sign said 'Take 1 For The Road!,MegaMall'.Marianne didn't want one, but I was hungry at that exact moment.A strange blue fruit with a purple stem and green swirls got my attention.I am an OP FF.The fruit reminded me of a devil fruit.

"Hey,that looks like a devil fruit!"Marianne likes OP too?Wow,I like Marianne more and more!XD

"Yea,it does!"I agreed.Then added randoml-ishly "Who's your favorite OP character?"

"Sanji-kun!" she exclaimed.Holy mother of One Piece!How much can you like one person without being in love?Cause' right now,I'm there!

I picked up the weird fruit and started eating it.Tasted horrible,but I was hungry.As we left i restarted the conversation about OP.

"My favorite character is Sanji-kun too!" I exclaimed.The blue fruit was now gone because it was about the size of a tangerine.

"I think Sanji is the cutest character ever!"Marianne and I were squealing about Sanji's cuteness the whole way back to Marianne's house.

Yes,I am a Sanji Fangirl.Zoro Fangirls,just read the story,it's gonna get good.

Back at Marianne's house,we talked about the weird fruit.Somehow,when we were talking about Sanji,fruit came up...

"You know what would be funny?"I asked Marianne.Marianne shook her head."If the fruit really was a devil fruit, and we were transported to the OP world!"

"I wish..."sighed Marianne.

"Yea..."I sighed right along with her.

We both had depressing problems in life, coughschoolcough.Mostly me,but...that's a story for a different time.

"Can I sleep over here for the night?"I asked Marianne.

"Sure."

"Do you have a sleeping bag?"

"Sure."

"Can I have the deed to your house?"

"Sure."

"Marianne,what are you doing?"

"Sure."

I got up and walked to Marianne.She was in a Sanji-girl daze.Probably just imagining what life would be like in OP...

"Oh hello,girls!Have you seen my flashlight?"asked Marianne's dad.

"Sure."we both answered.

"Oh,and where is it?"

"Sure."

After a few more useless questions,he left to go ask Marianne's brother.

"Man,life in OP would be sweet..."I sighed.Marianne sighed in agreement.

"I wonder what life really is like..."pondered Marianne.

"Yea..."

The next day...

"Marianne."

"...Yes."

"Where are we?"

"...I don't know."

"Well,why are we here?"

"...I'm not sure."

"And why are you about 2 feet taller than yesterday?"

"...Beats me."

"Did you drink the milk before bed?"

"NO!That stuff is nasty!...ish."

"Can you tell me one thing?

"...Maybe..."

"Why is my hair blue?"

"..."

"Did you dye my hair because I made you fall in mud that one day?"

"NO!Wait.It was you?!"

"No..."

"Can you tell me something,Waver?"

"...Possibly."

"Why,is my hair pink?

"Um...Maybe the same reason mine is blue."

"What reason is that?

"...I don't know."

We sat in a strange hotel-ish room for a few minutes in silence.I just knew something was off.It might have been that our hair was different colors than it used to be,or it might've been the fact that Marianne was a good 2 feet taller than she used to be.Who knows...

"The fruit!"Marianne yelled.

"The fruit?"

"Yes,the fruit!Remember the one that looked like a devil fruit yesterday?"

"The fruit!"I yelled,just realizing that the fruit yesterday might've caused this.

"Wait a minute!If you ate the fruit,does that mean you have it's powers?"

I stopped and thought hard about that possibility.It was possible,but what powers were they and what did it have to do with growing 2 feet taller and having weird colored hair?

"Waver...What's the only place devil fruits exist?"

"..." OMG! "ONE PIECE!"

"Exactly!That means were in the-"

"ONE PIECE UNIVERSE!!"

"YES!!"

Marianne and I were so excited.One Piece meant pirates,adventure,drinking,money,gold,and...Sanji.

"Sanji-kun...Marianne!We might meet Sanji-kun!!"

"YOUR RIGHT!!"

"Focus Marianne," I scolded my friend,even though I'm the one who got started on Sanji-kun."We need to find out my powers."

"...Okay...Try doing something."

"Um...Okay."I tried to do something,anything,so that I could try and find out my powers.I was thinking about Sanji right then though,so...

"W-Waver?Is that you?!"Marianne was looking at me like,well,like I had turned into Sanji or something.

"Of course it's me, stu-"I stopped mid sentence when I caught my reflection in a mirror on the wall.

"Marianne...Why do I look like Sanji-kun?"

"Um...I'm guessing that your power is shapeshifting..."

"Shapeshifting?Awesome...I wonder if I can turn into myself with brown hair?"I tried to turn into myself with my normal brown hair,but I only managed to turn into myself with the freaky blue hair.

"How come I can't change into myself with my normal hair?!"

"Maybe we're stuck like this..."

"Marianne,think possitive!You got taller!"

"At the price of having pink hair!"

"Okay,you have a point.But how about we get out of this place?"

"Why?"

"I'm hungry and believe that hotel food is expensive and nasty."

"...Good point.Grab your bag."

"Bag?"

"Yea.When I woke up,I found that I had my sword here,and two bags full of the clothes we bought yesterday."

"...Awesome...!"

"Your bag is the black one."Marianne pointed to a corner with a black bag,and a blue one.The amazing sword Marianne bought yesterday was by the blue bag.

"We should probably change clothes.I don't want weirdos seeing me in my OP e to think of it,do they even know these people?"

"I'm not really sure,but I agree with you on the pjs.I don't want weirdos seeing me in my ice cream pjs."

"...Don't wear those pajamas if we meet Luffy.He might try to eat them,and you along with it."

"...You'll need some new ones too.You don't want to seem like a coughfreakcough."

"True."

After our little conversation,we changed into our new clothes.Marianne was wearing a blue tank top and a pair of her new black jeans.She looked pretty funny with her pink hair.Hehe.

I was wearing a green tank top,a white jacket that I don't remember buying,my blue jeans,and the high heels.And I thought that Marianne looked funny?She was nothing compared to me...TT

"..."

"Waver,"Marianne was trying to hold off a fit of giggles.

"...Let's go."

I forceably dragged Marianne out of the hotel with many strange looks from people I don't remember seeing from the show.Outside of the hotel,was almost like a dream come true for every OP fan from anywhere.I saw One Piece bars,shops,strange people doing weird tricks,and a gang of really scary people coming right for Marianne and me.

What!?

Okay.Leather wearing,7'1,and over all scary people were coming straight at me and Marianne.Nothing to worry about,right?They were probably just looking to start a fight with those equally scary guys on the other side of us.

Come on!

Why were we proned to bad things happening to us?

Were we just supposed to get beat up by those thugs,or...worse!?

I don't think I want anything of that sort to happen!

But,I am really bad at making life changing decisions,so...

"Marianne!"I whispered to my friend."We got to get out of here!There are scary people coming our way,on both sides of us!"

"Waver,"Marianne must've already noticed."turn into something that can get us out of here!"

Heh heh...Marianne was trusting me with the job of getting out of there.

I smirked.

Marianne had no idea of what she had just done.
