Ace supposed everything started on a Monday, like many things often did.

He was just riding to school. Man, he loved his motorcycle. The adrenaline pumping his veins, the wind whipping through his hair, the scenery flashing by- he adored all of it. He could do without the extremely expensive gas, though...

This dirt road wasn't too bad, though it was a bit shabby. He preferred traveling on it solely because it was so quiet. No annoyed drivers honking their horns, or chatting people making conversation. No people yelling angrily at their partners, or no crying kids. No distractions. Just him and the open road.

He let the sensations take him, his hands moving subconsciously. He almost didn't see the girl walking right in the middle of the road. Almost. Ace snapped out of his pleasure quickly and hit the brakes, his motorcycle skidding across the ground. He was afraid he would hit her for a moment, secretly panicking internally. Luckily, his bike stopped only inches from the girl, who was now staring at him with almost bored eyes.

She hadn't even flinched. Okay, either she was stupid, or really stupid.

"What the hell are you doing?" He yelled, his panic replaced by over-whelming relief.

"Walking." The girl answered simply. "To school."

"Are you stupid or something?"

"Nope."

He sighed. "Get on my bike." Ace demanded.

"Huh?"

"I said, get on my bike. We go to the same school. Grand Line High, right? Your name is..." His brows furrowed as he tried to remember. "...Luffy. Yeah, Monkey D. Luffy." She beamed and jumped on the back of his motorcycle.

"Yup, that's my name! Yours is Portgas D. Ace, right?" He nodded, and blushed slightly when her arms hugged around his waist.

"...Yeah, just hold on tight, okay?" He stammered, starting up the engine. She just grinned and hugged him tighter.

He told himself this was a one time thing, nothing was gone to come out of it, this girl was nothing but trouble.

He didn't know how deep he was already in.

Okay guys, I promise I'm working on A Captain's Memories (seriously, it's open right now in LibreOffice Writer) , but here's something that I have been thinking about and decided to write. I hope you enjoyed it~
