I hope you all like this fic. This is going to be treated like an actual TV series. That doesn't mean I might update on the same day of every week. That means that this fic will have a theme song and an ending song. They will both be shortened versions (I will tell you when the two songs stop.) Also, the chapter will be labeled as episodes too. It is not yet known if there will be more than one season. I'm not getting ahead of myself, that's all. I am also going to be writing tie in stories to this series. I will let you know if it's not related to this story. The One Piece characters are going to be from the Funimation dub. In this fic, I befriend Luffy, Nami and Sanji. They got fired from their jobs of acting in One Piece. Eventually they become big shots in America by acting in fanimes and singing. We meet characters from other TV shows and cartoons. We also meet characters from other animes and there are going to be a few One Piece characters in the mix. Enjoy!

Episode 1

An anime comic con. An anime comic con was where I was. I stared boredly at the scene in front of me. There were people who loved anime like their lives dressed as characters from anime shows, lined up for attractions the convention had to offer. I looked down at my clothes. I was cosplaying as Sailor Moon's original transformation costume. Out of all the anime shows I liked, Sailor Moon was my all time favorite.

I wish my life could be an anime. Nothing would be wrong; everything would be colorful and happy. I would also be completely and utterly perfect. It's like an ultimate rule that every anime character (with a few exceptions, I'll admit), should be completely perfect. Instead, I was stuck in this crap sack world, where I get bullied and feel no one cares for me (my parents and people who are friendly towards me a side) The worst part is...I'm imperfect, in every sense of the word.

"I hate this place." I muttered lowly under my breath.

"Great, that makes two of us."

"Luffy you idiot! Pipe down she'll hear us!"

"We're sitting next to her Nami-san, she would have heard and saw us regardless."

"What the...?" I looked to my left and saw three people sitting next to me in their own individual chairs. No not just any people, in fact, they weren't even people, or humans, for that matter! I couldn't believe it! It was freaking Monkey D. Luffy (or just Luffy), Nami and Sanji from One Piece!

"Aw crap!" they all chorused as soon as I made it clear that I had acknowledged them.

"Um...young lady...you see...er..." Sanji started awkwardly.

"THIS IS A DREAM!" Luffy exclaimed.

"A dream? Um..yeah! This is all in your head kid! Anime characters aren't real!" Nami said, trying to persuade me.

"You guys, are you guys the REAL ACTUAL characters Luffy, Nami and Sanji from One Piece?"

"NO DON'T! YOU'LL ATTRACT...!" Sanji started.

"Characters from One Piece?"

"Where? Over there?"

"Characters from One Piece? Awesome! I want their autograph!"

"The fans." they said, glaring at me.

"I'll handle this." Luffy said under his breath. Putting on a happy face, he laughed his usual laugh and said, "Stupid idiots! Anime characters aren't real! Right you guys?"

"That's right!" Nami and Sanji said in unison. grinning. Nami nudged me, implying she wanted me to say the same.

"Uh...yep! No anime characters here!" I said nervously.

"Awwwww!", everyone chorused as they walked away sadly.

"Well, now that that's over, YOU NEVER SAW US KID!" Luffy screamed as he, Nami and Sanji quickly ran away.

"Wait, don't go!" I tried to say, but they were already gone.

Commercial Break!

I knew I had to follow them. Not only was it my only chance to have an interesting life, but they seemed scared for some reason. I looked all over, but I still couldn't find them. It had also been an hour since I started the search. Where could they have gone? I decided to go to the parking lot for a break. When I got there, much to my joy, I managed to spot them near the entrance to the parking lot. I walked over, glad to see they couldn't see me yet.

"That...was terrifying!"

"What was your first clue idiot?"

"If I may ask a question, can I ask why it was necessary to run? She seemed like a nice girl."

"Don't be stupid like Luffy Sanji! You know what happened the last time we encountered humans!"

"Ugg, don't remind me Nami-san!"

"Um guys? You two might want to turn around." Luffy said nervously.

"Why?", they both said. When they turned around, they blanched and started to flee with Luffy.

"Wait, don't leave!" Before they could run I grabbed Sanji's arm and said quickly before he could flinch away, "I've watched a few of your episodes, I read a few manga chapters and I read fanfictions about you guys and the rest of your anime's cast all the time! I guess you can say I'm slowly learning how to be a One Piece fan!"

"Huh? You watch our anime?" Luffy asked curiously.

"Well not daily. I research episodes online, and if I find an episode that sounds interesting, I'll give it a watch. Also, I watch clips from the anime online too."

"Oh...well just in case this is a trap, who're you kid?" Luffy asked suspiciously.

"My name's Caitlin, Caitlin Augustine. I'm from the city we're in, Norfolk, Virginia." I said slowly, letting go of Sanji's arm.

"Okay, now let me ask you something Miss Caitlin, are you afraid of us?" Sanji asked.

"No."

"You don't think we're freaks?" Luffy asked.

"No!"

"You're not going to send us out to the authorities?" Nami asked.

"NO!."

"Are you going to fan smother us?" Luffy asked.

"Trust me!" I said gritting my teeth in a smile.

"...Okay you have convinced us. Glad that I made a new friend!" said Luffy grinning his usual grin.

"Thank god! Thank you for your kindness Miss Caitlin!" said Sanji, going heart eyes.

"I'm still not convinced. In case you didn't notice kid, we're Animations!" said Nami coldly.

"Is that what you call yourselves? Also, I did notice."

"Yes it is. According to you humans, being an Animation isn't exactly normal!"

"Oh I know that. Here's the thing though, I don't really care."

"EHH?" the three of them said, gaping at me.

"It's true, I've always wondered what would happen if anime characters were real, and now I know!"

The three of them looked at each other, then they looked back at me. Slowly, Luffy started to laugh and Sanji and Nami were smiling as if it was Christmas Day.

"Er...what's wrong? Did I say something funny?"

"No. It's just, you're really are something Caitlin, you really are something!" said Luffy grinning.

"You're amazing!" Sanji said warmly.

"We're just happy to have met a human who won't treat us like circus freaks!" said Nami, who was behaving more friendlier.

"THERE THEY ARE! LET'S GET THEIR AUTOGRAPHS!"

"Why are they talking to the girl who's dressed as Sailor Moon?"

"LET'S GET THEM!"

"OH DAMN, IT'S THE FANS!" Nami gasped.

"WE'RE SO SCREWED!" Sanji yelled.

"IT WAS NICE TALKING TO YOU, BUT WE GOTTA GO!" screamed Luffy. Without another word, they ran off to get away from the fan crown pursuing them. I watched in disbelief, also in sadness. It's too bad we couldn't talk more, I liked getting to talk to them.

"I hope we'll see each other again." I said sadly while walking away from the crowd of fans.

I looked at my phone, and was surprised to see it was 4pm.

"I better get to the place Mom said she would pick me up." I said to myself.
