Hello this is Snowflake and this is my first fanfic so please excuse any grammar mistakes that I might have. I hope that you will like this story.

This will be the normal letter for the story.

But if a charcter is thinking about something it will be in this writing.

I decided to rewrite this since it seemed to be lacking action and also because I was a bit unhappy when I reread it but everything should still be the same execpt that there is more action. So thank you for the advice JarofIdeas.

Summary

Ace is still trying to get used to his surroundings on the Moby Dick since it hasn't been that long since he joined the crew. But he is slowly getting the hang of things with the help of Marco and Thatch along with some other people. Slowly they start to learn about Ace as they continue to help him.

Chapter 1

Ace P.O.V.

I was walking around the Moby Dick as I normally did so I could go get some food considering that it was close to lunch time. I went into the galley and immediately saw Thatch wave me over to where he was sitting which was next to Marco.

"What'cha up to Ace?" asked Thatch curiously seeming to genuinely want to know.

"Nothing much just trying to get used to my surroundings," replied Ace.

Hahaha, well good luck with that this place is never boring is what I'll tell you," said Thatch in a teasing tone.

"Stop trying to scare him Thatch," Marco scolded.

"But Maarrccooo," Thatch whined, giving him a look that clearly told him that he was going to keep this coversation going. "But it's too easy Marco look how tense he looks," Thatch said and indeed when you looked at Ace's shoulders you could see that they were tensed.

"Well you're not helping with you teasing," Marco continued to scold. He then gave Thatch a sharp look that clearly told him to shut up.

"Fine," Thatch groaned out not wanting to make Marco mad since that never ended well for anybody. He pouted and sharply pointed out, "but if he keeps that up he's going to be bullied."

"You guys do realize that I am still here," said Ace reminding them that he was still there and had heard the conversation that they had had just right now.

"Sorry Ace, Thatch just doesn't know when to grow up considering that he is always acting like a five year old," Marco states while rolling his eyes at Thatch.

"I don't act like a five year old," Thatch exclaimed being totally offended by Marco's remark. "And did you seriously just roll your eyes at me," shouted Thatch capturing the attention of people sitting around them.

"Who knows maybe I did or maybe I didn't you'll never know," said Marco in a nonchalant tone with a hit of smugness ignoring the stares that they were getting from the other crew members.

"Umm guys," Ace said to get the attention of Marco and Thatch. "I think I'm just going to go now since I'm done eating," Ace awkwardly said seeming to be uncomfortable with all of the stares.

"Okay bye," Marco said seeming to notice that they had made Ace uncomfortable but also noticing that he was uncomfortable with all of the stares.

"I think that we might have scared him just a little bit Marco," stated Thatch after Ace had left.

"Way to state the obvious Thatch," remarked Marco with a sarcastic tone that he knew would annoy Thatch.

"Shut up pineapple head," stated Thatch in a teasing tone that he knew would anger Marco since he didn't like being called by that nickname.

"What did you just call me Thatch," yelled an annoyed Marco making most of the crew members in the galley stare at Marco.

"I'm going to start running now," stated a terrified Thatch knowing he had pushed Marco too far. "Gaahhh," shrieked Thatch when he was running away from Marco since he knew that something bad was going to happen to him.

"Get back here!" exclaimed an enraged Marco thatbwas chasing after Thatch to toss him into the ocean.

"It was quite amusing watching Thatch and Marco fighting playfully because in a sense it gave me some relief. To see that even though they were commanders they were still able to mess around. But it also gave me a sense of homesickness considering that this reminded me of Luffy. SPLASH. Well there goes Thatch. Poor bastard he finally got caught by Marco. I do have to admit that it is pretty funny to see Thatch get thrown overboard," thought Ace.

End Note

This was pretty fun to write and I am willing to write more to it but it might take me some time since I still have to go to school and do homework. But I will try me best since I do like writing and reading. So I do hope that you enjoy this first chapter despite it being so short.

Snowflake out! XD
