Look up at the sky,
My fire flies,
Lights in the sky,
Though heaven's a lie.
"What's going on, Robin?"
Nami ran on deck…and stopped dead. "That's it, isn't it?"
Robin nodded. "The Faia Hae."
The two girls stood by the rail, looking at the greenish yellow and red flashes curling over the ocean.
"It's beautiful…we'll be in it soon." Nami snapped back to reality. She turned, only to have Robin catch her sleeve.
"Let them sleep. The peacefulness will be gone the moment they all wake up."
"Does that include me?"
Robin smiled in that secretive way she had. "With you and Sanji fighting, yes. Just you, no."
Zoro joined the girls at the rail. "What is that?"
Robin's secretive smile was still in place. "It's called Illusis, the isle of midnight . It's our next stop."
"There's an island? I meant the light."
Robin's smile was begging to look rather dreamy. "It's the Faia Hae. You'll see the source when we get there."
Zoro sighed. "Have you always been this vague, or do you just get like this because you know something the rest of us don't?"
To Zoro's surprise, Robin laughed. Not her usual giggle, but something light and bubbly that brought a blush to his cheeks. Nami smiled. Aww…how cute. If only I had a relationship like that…Her smile vanished and she sighed. Let's see…who's available? Sanji…no, he would never be tied down. Not Franky…Just NO. Same goes for Brooke. Usopp has Kaya. Suddenly something occurred to Nami. She leaned over the rail, looking at the lights. What about…
"Careful Nami!"
The warning came a little too late, and Nami slipped, flipping over the rail. She felt an arm wrap around her wait halfway to the water.
"Luffy!"
He pulled her up. "Jeez, Nami, be more careful!"
Nami flushed.
"Are you sick Nami? Your face is really red…"
Nami jumped up. "I'm fine! Really! Fine!" she ran to the ropes, shooting up to the crow's nest and sinking to her knees.
"Not Luffy…he wouldn't…he can't…"
Nami stopped, realizing that she was trying to think of excuses.
But how do I really feel about Luffy?
"He's certainly stupid. But, I don't dislike him…he's always there for me…but he's there for everyone else too…How am I any different?"
Nami felt her heart sink, and realized she wanted to be different.
"So…I love him?"
"You love who?"
"AAAAAAAAH!"
Nami jumped about a foot.
"It's just me. But boy, If Sanji had heard that…that would not end well."
Nami put her hand to her pounding heart.
"You scared the SHIT outta me!"
Robin crossed from the rope to the crow's nest.
"I was calling your name from the deck. You must've been lost in your thoughts."
"You could say that."
"So, you love who?" Robin sat down next to Nami, stretching out her legs.
Nami sighed. "No one."
"Oh, come on. You can tell me."
"I don't know. I've never felt like this before!"
Nami blurted, then covered her mouth.
"Aww. So, Luffy?"
Nami groaned and put her face between her hands. "Am I really that easy that easy to read?"
Robin laughed and put her arm around Nami's shoulders. "No, I've just learned to read people."
Nami managed a smile at that. "So, Robin, what ARE those lights?" Robin grinned, looking like an exited child.
"Faia Hae means fire fly. Those lights are millions of creatures known as fireflies."
