AHHHHH! It's my new story! Please don't worry! I am still writing Never Will Be The Same Again! And those of you who were not at all worried… I don't know what to say to you people.

I don't own One Piece. *silently sobbing*

"ANNE! I'M HOME!" the short, dark haired girl yelled at the door of a small, white house. Loud, fast thumping noises were heard.

"LUCY!" A freckled face cried running down the stairs with outstretched arms.

"Whoa!" The girl named Lucy gasped, startled, as she started to stumble backward onto the wooden porch. " Hey, how are you, Anne?" she asked as she put her arms around her sister's waist and hugged tightly back.

Anne leaned back to face her cute, little sister, "Just fine but what about you? How was your flight?" Anne said happily with a blinding grin.

Lucy opened her mouth to answer but was quickly interrupted by a red headed young man leaning against the doorframe. "Tch. You only say 'hi' to your sister but not you're your own uncle? I'm crushed, Lucy." He said with a pout.

" Of course not, Uncle Shanks!" Lucy chuckled taking her uncle in her arms and squeezing.

He smiled as he lifted her up. "Wow! I think you've grown since the last time I saw you! Did your bottomless pit of a stomach grow too?"

She laughed as she ignored his comment, "Anyway, how have you been?"

"Just fine, although it's not easy living with Anne." He said with a playful frown, "I can't imagine what it will be like living with both of you!" he chuckled breaking into a smile.

"Hey!" Anne slapped the man playfully in the arm.

"It's been a long day, right? You should quickly go get your stuff up to your room."

" 'Kay!" Lucy answered running up the stairs.

"So, are you excited?" Anne spoke lying down on the big bed in the rose red room. "For school, I mean."

"I guess so," Lucy said with uncertainty in her voice, " I mean you'll be there, right?"

"Yeah! I'm sure you'll fit in right away, so don't worry."

"Right!"

The Next Day…

"Good luck little sis. Don't get in trouble, 'Kay?"

"Please welcome the newest student in this school!" a booming voice said instantly quieting down the classroom full of hyper teenagers. Everyone turned their head as the girl took a deep breath and spoke.

"HI! My name's Monkey D. Lucy. I just moved here and I'm staying with my uncle and sister! Something to know about me is that I love meat!" Lucy yelled flashing her signature grin, while the teacher and all of the students sweat dropped, anime style.

"Well, that is something to know! You're the sister of the senior, Portgas D. Anne, right?" A burst of whispers broke out around the room, and disbelief filled the air.

"Um, Yeah! That's my big sis! Do you know her?"

" Of course! Now… where to put you…" The teacher said excitement shown in his voice. "Ah! Next to that sleeping, green haired young man, his name's Zoro. It's best not to anger him." He added with a whisper.

"Huh?" She said in confusion with her head tilted. She then shrugged slightly. She walked to the back of the room and sat down in her seat with a big THUNK. Her green haired neighbor jolted awake due to the loud sound.

"Oi!"

"Huh? Nani?"

"Keep it down," he growled.

She widened her eyes, and then giggled, "Shishishi. Sorry, sorry." She apologized before going on in a whisper, (since the teacher was eying them suspiciously) "You know, you look pretty strong. Are you a good fighter?"

He smirked, " I would say I'm all right."

She looked at him hopefully, "Could you fight me then?"

"Maybe."

"Seriously!"

"No."

She started to childishly pout.

Her pouting face is really cute. Zoro thought. But then slapped himself in the face to get rid of the thoughts about the raven-haired girl.

" What? Why not?"

He looked over at the girl. Then, he saw that she was still looking for an answer.

"Well," he sighed, "For starters, I don't fight with my fists, I fight with swords."

She blinked, looking like she did not understanding what he said.

"I'm the captain of the kendo club. The club-" he stopped and knocked himself in the head. Why am I telling everything to this girl?

( A/N Zoro is typically more distant than anyone else)

"No way! That's really cool!" she said, her eyes sparkling.

"Um, yeah, I guess so." Zoro answered, feeling a bit taken back.

"So," she continued, " do you have practice today?"

"Uh huh, at lunch time." He said, still wondering why the heck he was talking to her.

"Cool!" she said a bit too loudly. That earned her a quieting hiss from the teacher.

"I'll come and watch, ok?" Lucy whispered with a grin.

"No! You don't hav-" he began to say but was, unfortunately, interrupted by the bell ringing.

"Okay! I'll see you at lunch!" she said as she ran out the door waving, giving the young man no chance to protest.

"Oh man, this is going to be a long day." He sighed. But, strangely, he was looking forward to lunchtime that day.

To be continued…

Hey! This is the end of the first chapter of when Zoro first meets Lucy! I Hope you guys liked it! I might be a little late on writing the second chapter since I am currently trying to write this story and my other one called Never Will Be The Same Again. It's also a ZoroxLuffy! Oh! And please review!

Bye! Bye!

P.S. Sorry about the Author's Note in the middle of the story.
