EDITED 4/20/15-Thanks Bclarient

EDITED 1/6/16- I changed Alex's name to Sam, and I added more of a transition with the fight with Law. Hopefully, some of the confusion is cleared up!

Quietly, I watched my teacher work out some math problems that would be on our upcoming test. I twirled my honey blonde curls and let out a sigh of boredom. As I messed with my hair, I looked down at my black hightop converse and light denim skinny jeans. Senior year of high school is pretty chill.

"I have no idea how this is relevant to real life." I whispered to my best friend, Arianna. Ari turned around to face me. Her hair long midnight blue hair was pulled back into a ponytail, showing off her newly dye orange tips. You could also see her multiple ear piercings. I also had piercings on my lip and tongue, but Air had much more than I did. The emo was strong in Ari.

"When you rule the world, you'll know what to burn first." She replied back with the most serious facial expression. Her silvery blue eyes stared straight into my green ones. My family had always explained to me my laughter was extremely loud, but, even with the warning, I forgot how loud I was. Keeping my laughter silent had always been an issue for me, and you can only guess what happened next. I had exploded with laughter. Everyone in the room was staring at me. My cheeks started to feel like they were on fire. Slowly sinking back in my chair, I prayed that the floor would swallow me whole.

"Ms Layton, mind letting us in on the joke?" My teacher, Mrs. Carter, asked with cold gaze. My mouth pressed into an unamused straight line. I stared down at the floor.

'Hey floor, can you please work with me here?' Shifting my gaze around, I managed to embarrass myself even more. "Uh, I'll rule the world?" I sputtered out. Mrs. Carter shook her head.

"Since you seem so interested. You can stay after class and we can discuss math together." Mr. Carter said sarcastically. I tried opening my mouth to retaliate, but she held up her hand. "I'll see you after class." Everyone, except Ari, laughed at me. Ari softly patted my back, in an attempt to comfort me. Placing my head in my hands, I glared at the floor wondering when it would do its job.

"How much longer until lunch?" I muttered to Ari with a weak smile. She slapped her forehead and then smacked my shoulder.

"First off, its only 9:35. Secondly, you literally just ate a whole family-sized bag of chips." Ari explained rubbing her forehead, trying to lighten up the heavy atmosphere. I sighed. Today was going to be long.

"I am going to eat this table, okay? Okay." I mumbled as I laid my head down on the table. Ari chuckle and rubbed my back.

"Go to sleep, I'll wake you if you need to do anything." I slowly nodded. Since I was already in trouble, I guess it wouldn't hurt. I closed my eyes and slowly started to sleep. When I finally got to a deep enough sleep where I could ignore everyone, I felt an arm being shoved into my side. I groaned. Ari was the culprit because she was whispering something to me. My eyes slanted as I turned to where Ari was suddenly pointing.

"Ms. Layton, You really must want to be friends." Mrs. Carter stated, glaring down at me. Ari managed to wake me up before Mrs. Carter arrived at our table, but it was too late because Mrs. Carter knew I was asleep. Suddenly, the bell rang. "Class dismissed, except for you Ms. Layton." Everyone filed out of the room with stifled laughter.

"I'll wait for you outside…" Ari whispered to me before she got up from the table. I made a nervous laugh as I rubbed the back of my head. Mrs. Carter's glared softened when everyone left the room

"Samantha are you all right?" Mrs. Carter asked with concern. My eyebrows knitted in confusion. I gazed down at my long-sleeve blue Naruto t-shirt, trying to avoid eye contact.

"Uh, yeah?" I said scratching the back of my neck. Mrs. Carter gave me unconvinced look. Why was she suddenly concerned?

"Samantha, you hardly pay attention in class anymore." Her gaze turned sympathetic. "Is something bothering you?" My eyebrows lifted in understanding. She finally figured out I do not pay attention in class. Wow, took her until Christmas Break to figure that out.

"I'm just really ready for break." I said with a fake laugh. Her eyes glinted with sudden realization.

"Well, that's understandable. Just don't let me catch you sleeping again, all right?" I nodded and jolted out of the room. As I stepped out of the room, I saw Ari turned away from the classroom door, tapping her black combat boots. I could clearly see her back because she wore a black halter top with a leather also wore her favorite dark skinny jeans that had major rips in them. I coughed to get her to face me. The chick is crazy because it was below freezing outside...how the heck is she not cold?

"That was quick. Did you sweet talk your way out?" Ari questioned with a smirk. I rolled my eyes and punched her shoulder. We both laughed as we continued to our next class. "Oh right, almost forgot to tell you! The math homework is due in a hour." My eyes practically popped out of their sockets as I started at her. "She let us work on it while you were asleep."

"You can't be serious!" She stopped walking and smirked at me. "Oh my gosh, you're literally the worst." Ari laughed. I swatted the back of her head in frustration. I heard Ari growl and within seconds my face was on the ground. She had jumped on top of me and in the process knocked us both to the ground. "*Cough* Ow…." She stood up and wiped off her jeans.

"Serves you right, idiot." She growled out, stomping her way to class. I coughed again. "Why did I choose such violent friends…"

TO LUNCH

"I hope you know my face still hurts…" I mumbled to Ari. I glared at her as we sat down at a table in local mall's food court.

"Quit your whining!" She exclaimed with sarcasm. We looked at each other seriously, but then laughed at one another. Quietly, we ate our lunch. My brows furrowed as I had a sudden thought

"Important question." I stated with a mouthful of food. Ari looked at me with disgust.

"Gosh, you really need to learn some manners Sam…." She gagged. "-but, what is it you were going to ask?" With a giant gulp, I swallowed my food. My face rapidly changed into a serious expression.

"Would you eat Sanji's food?" Ari slapped her forehead. I flinched. Ouch, that was a hard slap…

" I swear, if you keep asking stupid questions…I will strangle you." Ari grumbled. I laughed uncontrollably, and Ari slammed her hands on the table. As I laughed even harder, Ari jumped out of her chair. The chair fell back because of my laughter. My laughing stopped as I hit the floor. Ari stopped and ran around to help me. "Crap, you alright?" She worriedly asked. I could not help but to resume laughing. Frustrated, Ari kicked me. "Idiot, I can't believe I was actually worried you were hurt…"

"Aw, the witch's heart finally melted." I cooed. Her face flashed with anger. She cracked her knuckles, causing me to bolt up from the floor. "Sorry, not sorry!" I screeched as I began to run away.

"Oh no you don't." Ari yelled as she ran after me. I squealed as I exited the food court. Ari chased me all the way to my car.

"ARI STHAP YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I HATE RUNNING!" I politely screamed for her to stop. "I KNOW! I'LL GIVE YOU SOME OF MY CHOCOLATE IF YOU STOP CHASING ME!" Ari continued to run after me. "PLEASE I GUNNA RIP MY JEANS! THESE ARE MY FAVORITE PAIR!" I finally stopped and was pushed to the ground by Ari. Groaning, I tried to push her off of me. Her face twisted into an evil grin. My eyes widened and I began to struggle more. Her eyes glinted with mischief as she held up ketchup packets. "Ari, no." I pleaded. She laughed madly.

"Apologize!" She opened the first packet. Biting my lip, I hesitantly apologized. Ari stood up and I let out a breath of relief. I got up from the ground and wiped off my jeans. Looking down at my phone, I saw we were running late for school.

Luckily, we made it back to the school on time with the rest of the day going smoothly. I was ecstatic that it was finally spring break. The rest of the day I was staring at the clocks, counting down until the school day was over. Ari and I practically jumped put of our seat when the last bell rang for the day.

"Thanks again for driving us down to my dad's house.." Ari thanked me. We both stopped walking in the school's parking lot. Her eyes were staring at the pavement. She hated when I do stuff for her because she hated taking things from me. I rolled my eyes and pushed her.

"Stop that. You know I love to drive and going to your dad's" She gave me a unsatisfied look.

"Dad's house is five hours away.…" I held up my hands in defense.

"Alright, alright. You can drive the way back if you feel so bad!" She laughed. We started to walk again and found my car. In a hurry, we threw our backpacks in the trunk. "Alright, Ari you're the DJ and navigator on this road trip!" I ordered as we sat in our seat. Ari nodded and I started up my car. Ari turned up the music when we left the parking lot.

TWO HOURS LATER

Everything was going great until my car decided to be a butt. Not even halfway to our destination, my car broke down. To make things worse, Ari and I were in the middle of nowhere.

"You got to be kidding me!" Ari yelled, kicking a tire. She immediately regretted it as she clutched her foot. I was confused. Did I not have my car checked yesterday? Strange..

"Ari, check to see where the closest gas station is.." I muttered, pulling up the hood of my car. Ari grumbled some type of response as she pulled out her phone.

"There is a gas station about 5 miles from here…" Ari vocalized after a few minutes. In the tense silence, Ari and I grabbed our bags. The anger practically rolled off Ari. Her brows were furrowed and she stormed off, leaving me behind. I yelled for Ari to slow down, but she ignored me. Smirking, I ran over to Ari and threw my arm around her shoulder. Her face was red from anger. I started to rub her back obnoxiously.

"Quit." She rubbed the bridge of her nose. I stuck out my lower lip in a pout. Ari walked faster, pushing my arm off her shoulder. Why did she ignore my emotional support….

"Can we make this an adventure?" I asked as I twirled my hair and gave myself a mustache.

"No." She muttered angrily. Ignoring her response, I ran in front of her. I spun myself around and started to walk backwards. Ari glared. "Would you please stopping being so stupid right now?" She desperately pleaded. "We are in the middle of nowhere and it is night. Who knows what could happen to us!" I tapped my chin, pretending that I was thinking.

"Don't worry about it." I shrugged off.

"Amazing…it is literally amazing how stupid you can b-" Ari unexpectedly came to a stop. She stared behind me. I turned around. The road had disappeared or randomly stopped. Instead of road there was a giant field of flowers. Ari gazed down at her phone. "The map says the road continues. What did you do, Sam?" Ari cried out. I shrugged my shoulders.

"Wasn't me." I whispered. Instantaneously, an explosion pushed Ari and I to the ground. "Ari!" I shrieked as I hit the ground. My head was spinning, and I carefully sat up. "You all right?" I heard a soft groan, and I let a sigh of relief. She was okay. Standing up, I looked to see what caused the explosion. My mouth flew opened when I saw a figure laying in field. The figure was clumped up, as if he was injured. I ran to the person. The closer I got, the more I realized how injured the person was. There was pool of blood around the person. I ran even faster. "Call 911, Ari! Quickly!" I ordered as I made it to the person. The person was a younger, muscular man. He was smiling, but was unconscious. Crouching, I examined the man to find his injury. Crap! His chest was practically gone. The giant hole in his chest was profusely bleeding, so I applied pressure with my hands.

'I need your help.' A voice spoke, making me jump. 'Calm down…' The voice tried to comfort me. Today was the day I talked to my insanity..…apparently.

'So..I'm just going to ignore the fact you being in my head…' I said, or should it be thought? The voice tsked. My eye twitched. Great, I annoyed my insanity. How can Ari put up with me?

'Shut up and relax.' An over-whelming strength filled my body. My blood boiled. I looked down at the man. He seemed familiar with his curly black hair and freckle-covered face. My hand moved on its own. It caressed the man's cheek. I gazed back down at the man's wound. With a giant gasp, I realized who the man was. Portgas D. Ace.

'H-how? Ace is fictional, right." I asked to no one in particular. The voice chuckled.

'Well, hun, he's more real than you realize.' I fell back on my butt in shock. 'Wai-' The voice was cut short by Ace gasping for air. Once again, my body moved on its own. I hovered over Ace. I felt tears prickle in my eyes. Why was I sad? Why was I frustrated?

'Concentrate.' The voice commanded. Concentrate on what? My chest started to pound and my head felt light.

~FLASHBACK~

"Ace?" My brows furrowed at Ari in confusion. Ari was excitedly discussing our newest obsession, One Piece. She was further along than I was, and she knew more than I did.

"Yeah, Portgas D. Ace, Luffy's brother." Her eye glinted with excitement.

"Luffy has a brother?" I asked. Ari grinned mischievously. Oh no… She cackled evilly as she pulled out her computer. I gulped when she slammed the computer down. Immediately, I faced the opposite direction "Look." My head turned, hesitantly, over to the computer. When I looked at the picture, my mouth flew opened. I ignored the stinging in my nose and kept staring at the picture.

"Uh, Sam…" Ari shook me, gaining my attention. I glared at her.

"What?" She laughed all of a sudden. What was so funny? Was I drooling? …..No, I was not drooling. Then, what is making her laugh? Ari then points to my nose. My nose? "What about my nose?" No longer being able to contain it, Ari fell out of her chair laughing. I touched my nose and felt something wet. My eyes widened when I saw blood on my fingers. Not even a second later, a flood gate opened and blood literally started to squirt out of my nose. OH MY GOSH, I WAS GOING TO DIE. "Ari help me! I'm going to die!" Ari laughed even harder. After a few minutes and ten boxes of tissues, my nose stopped bleeding. I was sitting on my bed glaring at Ari with tissues shoved up my nose.

"T-that was even worse than Sanji's" She wiped the sides of her eyes.

"Shut up, you know I don't get nosebleeds!" Ari laughed and patted my back.

"Its okay….Sanji."

~END~

My eye twitched. 'Was that necessary?' I asked the voice. The voice began to laugh.

'Very, very much so.' I crossed my arms and huffed. 'Lose the attitude, we have work to d-' Ace started to have a coughing fit, and his eyes slowly closed.

"Ace, fight. Keep fighting and open your eyes!" I screamed. What did I say? What the heck was going on? Ace's eye cracked open. He stared up at me and smiled. My tears fell on his cheeks, causing Ace's smile to falter. A weak sob shook my body. Why was I crying? I hardly know him! "Ace." I softly sobbed. WHY WAS I BEING SO GIRLY!? The Lord was testing me…

"S-sam." Ace weakly laughed as he slowly stretched out his hand. He wiped my tears. How did he know my name? My head was pounding and my heart was racing. I squeezed my eyes closed. HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO REACT TO A HOT SHIRTLESS GUY TOUCHING MY CHEEK!? Ugh, my stomach started to feel sick. Suddenly, another explosion shoved me back from Ace. I would be happy that the awkwardness was over, but the sharp pain in my butt said otherwise. When my eyes opened, Ace had disappeared and there was another figure in his place.

"SAM DID YOU FRICKIN' BREAK THE UNIVERSE?!" Ari had hit me over the head. Finally decided to show up, huh. She was probably taking pictures or something. I glared at her and turned back to the figure. Standing in front of us was Trafalgar Law. I slapped my forehead. Perfect. He glared at both Ari and I. I waved at him, which caused him to furrow his brows. Maybe I need to give a hug to cheer him up! I started walking towards him...well, it was more of a skip. He, in return, unsheathed his sword. Immediately, I stopped and gave him a confused look. Law pointed his sword at me. My forehead and palms became sweaty as I laughed nervously. I lifted my hands gave him a nervous smile.

"Now, now. Don't get your panties in a twist. We haven't done anything." Law did not seem convinced. In fact, he seemed to not even understand what I said. Suddenly, Law swiped his sword at me. Some unnatural sound left my throat as I dodged. As he was still extended, I quickly punched him in the stomach and kicked him away. Thank you Taeknowdo..."WOAH THERE BUDDY! NO NEED TO CUT ME DOWN!" I yelled as I carefully kept my distance from him. If looks could kill, Law would have already killed me.

"Yeah, Sam's short enough!" Ari added on to my pervious statement. I turned and glared at her.

"Now's not the time, Ari! Why don't you come and help! Law doesn't seem to think we are friends, and I really don't want to be at the end of his wrath..." I growled out to Ari. Law, once again, slashed his sword at me. With a another odd sound, I moved out of the way and kicked Law away. I paled as Law growled.

"Nah, I'm good here..."Ari's voice cracked. "There is a reason you are called the Tasmanian Devil in Taeknowdo!" She tried to convince me. I shook my head and sighed. Law slowly began walking to me as I continued to side step out of his path. My brows furrowed. Why was he walking? Wait...oh crap...

"Law isn't even trying, Ari! I can barely keep up with him!" Law lifted his hand, confirming my suspensions. "I swear, if you do that room crap I will murder you." I explained rubbing my forehead.

"Room." Law stoically stated. My eye twitched as I cracked my knuckles.

"I going to strangle you." I yelled running at Law. For a few seconds, I wondered why he was fighting us. He also was not going full-power with me. We literally had done nothing to him. I am so confused right now. Quickly, I shook my head, trying to focus in on the fight. He glared and flipped his fingers. I was slung to the ground. The air in my lungs was knocked out. My blood began to boil. OH. HECK. NO. When I stood up, my legs gave out in exhaustion. It felt like I was hit by a bus. The strength I had earlier was zapped from my body. Law suddenly popped in front of Ari.

"Come." I understood what he said, but Ari looked over at me in confusion and fear. Before I had realized it, I was running over to Ari. I was such an idiot.

"Don't you dare touch her!" I screeched with the little Japanese I knew and I punched him in his nose. His nose cracked underneath my knuckle, but the force also cracked my knuckles. "CRAP!" I yelled clutching my hand. Law cracked his nose back in place and he sent me the ugliest glare..ever. He was livid. Without wasting a second, he kicked me in the side. Hard. I coughed and blood drizzled out of my mouth. Yuck. Law punched me in the stomach, causing my vision to blur. He let me fall with a sadistic grin. Unable to move, I watched him walk over to Ari.

"Stop it." I choked out. He grinned and gripped Ari by the neck. My body felt like it was on fire. I was going to kill him. Suddenly, Ari disappeared. I screamed in rage and tried to get up. Law transported in front of me and slammed his foot down on my stomach. He tried to tell me something, but I did not understand what he said. My vision started to grow dark. Seconds later, I passed out.

Sorry if the first chapter is a bit confusing! I promise it will make sense in later chapters!
