Hey guys I'm back from my year-ish long hiatus! Sorry about that by the way. Family stuff and just general laziness happened. But I'm back and hoping to make a weekly updates on Wednesday's or Friday's! (this will most likely change to Wednesday's and Friday's if I get into the groove of things!) Thank you to all of you that stayed with me and my laziness for a year! For that I will try my best to have a chapter up weekly! If I accidentally skip a week its probably because of school or me getting more writers block (which I will do my best to shove through and update for you seriously awesome people) Anyways I hope you like my poorly revised chapter one! (I will strive to make it better come summer time and if my mom lets me stay inside for a very long time xD)

Edit 12/31/14: Ok so here's the updated version I just sort of did a bunch of little teeny edits here and there but it should have improved! PM me if I missed something or had grammar issues of any kind, thanks!

Enjoy!

My name is Tabitha-Rose Tate. My best friends and close family call me Tabitha or Tabby. I'm seventeen years old. I'm a major One Piece fan and well, I never expected to actually meet the Straw Hat pirates. It kinda happened by chance… If you call being cursed by a grumpy old witch and banished to the world of One Piece until my judgment day arrived chance.

Ok your probably wondering. How the holy taco does a witch banish you to a non-existent world? Well I'll explain. It happened yesterday evening, when I was happily watching episode 135 of One Piece over again in my Otaku cave, a.k.a my cluttered room. Eating popcorn and drinking the leftover iced tea from McDonald's that was in the fridge. When suddenly, there was a terribly loud knock on the door. I had to pause my episode, get out of my comfy bed, put on my slippers, walk down the two flights of stairs, and down the hall to get the door.

I opened it to see a wrinkly old lady with white stringy hair and a crooked long wooden scepter-cane thingy. Her eyes and face in general were all wrinklified and old looking. She looked like a sadder and seriously older and frailer version of Doctorine.

She smiled an almost toothless smile at me. "Hello sweetie, would you mind to greatly to let a poor old lady come in for a snack?"

Did I seriously come out of my Otaku Cave to feed an old hag? Is this what I wasted my precious One Piece time on?! "No. Get lost granny, I was watching One Piece when you so rudely interrupted me. So no thanks." And with that, I kindly slammed the door in her face. Old hag ainít got any sense of consideration for the youth!

What? So I wasn't to kind to the old lady. It's her fault for interrupting my One Piece time. She deserved it!

But the fun wasn't over yet. I had just reached the first stair, when the there was another knock at the door. I growled and turned around, making my way back to the door. This time, I opened it and crossed my arms. Closing my eyes I sighed bitterly. "What is it lady? I have more important things to do at the moment."

Bad idea, I should have kept my eyes open. Because she hit me upside the head with her scepter-cane thingy. And it hurt! I flinched and held my head with both my hands in pain. My eyes bolting open. Instead of seeing the old hag, I saw a black banshee-like creature with a tall pointy hat and long gross fingernails.

I wanted to scream, but one of her disgusting long finger-nailed hands clamped my mouth shut. I really wish I hadn't answered the door in the first place …

The banshee-witch woman snarled. "Listen girly. Until you learn some manners. I place a curse on you. The day you learn your lesson, is the day you shall return. Until then for every person you are rude towards. Its another month to be stuck without any return pass. You have twenty-four hours to prepare yourself Tabitha Rose. Prepare yourself for the ride of your life." And with that, the banshee-witch lady released my mouth and disappeared.

What the holy taco just happened ...? Well. Twenty-four hours later, at 9:35 on the nose. I literally vanished in a cloud of light blue smoke. Screaming my face off.

I then reappeared in the middle of a vast desert; the only things I could visibly tell were wrong was that my chest had grown into gigantomelons from my original flat chested state and my skin seemed paler. My pink flannel pajamas remained the same though, but my feet were dying of heat because I was apparently too stupid to put slippers or boots in general on. I was also horrifyingly aware that my beautiful long golden locks of precious hair I'd spent six years growing out had sort of been replaced by crazily shorter and duller in color blonde hair. Dang it I loved my hair!

What really got me though was the fact that the weird black stuffed animal horse I had gotten at the fair had also come with me, but become much bigger and well ... He became a real horse.

Didn't see that one coming.

But back on subject, I was glad at least some thing important to me didn't disappear. But… Where the holy taco am I? Where's my Otaku Cave? Where's Rachael? And Chris? Where the holy taco am I?!

Oh wait. I'm in the World of One Piece.

Yo! Silent here for the usual after chapter recap! Short chapter that I will most likely edit to mash together with chapter two and maybe three. Tell me what you guys think! Also since this update is literally like 40 minutes from New Years I'll just jump out and say it, Happy New Years guys! Have a good one! Goodbye 2014 and hello 2015!

See you next week! (Unless I decide to double update before then XD)
