Luffy watched the girl quietly, hoping she'd notice him. It was a warm spring day and the crew had made another stop, this time in a little suburban town. Luffy never would've expected to find a girl he liked.

"Hey, Kelsi!" One of the girl's friends called her from a fruit stand. She was also wearing a school uniform; a navy blue pleated plaid skirt, a white blouse under a navy blue vest, a pair of white knee socks and black school shoes. The girl wasn't as slender and innocent as the girl Luffy liked was.

Kelsi, He thought.

He smiled as Kelsi skipped off to her friend, her long curly brown hair bouncing at each step. Luffy sat back, thinking of what he should say to the girl. What could he say to her? There was no way a girl like her would be interested in a dirty pirate. Luffy mustered up enough strength to talk to her anyway. He checked to see where she was now. She was coming his way. Luffy got up abruptly as Kelsi accidentally dropped her backpack.

"I'll get it," Luffy picked up her backpack, cursing himself for not saying anything cooler. Kelsi didn't seem to mind.
"Thanks," she said as Luffy handed her the bag, "I'm Kelsi."

Luffy stopped himself before he said "I know".
"I'm Luffy," he said instead. Kelsi smiled, "Hi, Luffy! Are you new here? School starts in a few minutes."

"Oh, no," Luffy said, "I'm only here for a few days." Kelsi looked confused, "Why's that?"

"I'm a pirate," he said, afraid of what she would say.

"A pirate?" Kelsi said, more interested than afraid.

"Yup. I'm going to be Pirate King soon!"

"Ooh! Is it fun being a pirate?"

The conversation went on for about 10 minutes before Kelsi realized she was late for school, "Oh no! I have to go."

"Well, will I ever see you again?" Luffy asked.

"Sure," Kelsi got up, "Meet me here after school. How old are you?"

"Seventeen," Luffy replied, "Why?"

"I'm not aloud to talk to boys two years older than me," Kelsi said, smiling, "I'm sixteen, by the way."

"Okay," Luffy said, happy to be seeing her again, "I'll be right here." He sat cross legged on a nearby rock. Kelsi smiled, "Okay." She rushed off to school, "See you at four!"

Luffy waved back at her, then closed his eyes and fell asleep on the boulder.

"Luffy?"

Luffy struggled to open his eyes in the sunlight, expecting Kelsi to be standing in front of him, her deep blue eyes looking into his. Instead, Nami stood before him, glaring into his eyes.

"Didn't I tell you to find Sanji and tell him to buy more training pants for Suzi?!" she asked.

"Ahm," was all Luffy could say.

"Now she's pissing all over the ship!" Nami grabbed his ear and pulled it towards the marketplace.

"Nami, wait!" Luffy said, holding onto the rock, "I have to wait for a girl!"

"A girl?" Nami let go of his ear, "You have a girlfriend now?"
