Watermelons
"Aaaace! I'm hungry!" whined nine year old Luffy.
"Can't you wait till we get home?"
"No!" Ace and Luffy had gone for a walk to the other side of the village and Ace had forgotten to bring food. It was way past Lunch time and Luffy was really hungry; he hated missing out on meal times. They were walking through the farm area of Fusha village when Luffy saw a field with watermelons growing.
"Hey Ace, can I have a watermelon?" he said pointing at the field.
"Don't see why not." He shrugged. As soon as he finished the sentence Luffy was over the fence and scoffing down all the watermelons within his reach; which just happened to be half the field. Ace sat on the fence and watched his little brother eat his way through the watermelons like a worm. The way he eats you'd think he had never had food in his life.
"Hey Ace you want some!" Luffy yelled at his older brother. He had water melon juice all over his face and shirt.
"Na I'll wait till we get back! Besides if gramps finds out he'll..." he trailed off seeing his little brother had lost interest and was now balancing the leftovers of watermelon in a pile on his head while eating; he did the strangest things sometimes Ace noted, smiling.
When Luffy had eaten about half the field which was about 5 minutes later a man had come out too pick his watermelons for the markets tomorrow morning. The man saw what a mess his watermelon field was in, he was shocked to see half the field ruined. Then he noticed the reason; a young boy was standing in the middle eating the watermelons.
"Oi don't touch my watermelons!" the man said striding over to the kid.
Luffy looked at the angry farmer coming towards him and got an idea. He shoved a watermelon in his mouth and ran while chewing. The farmer gave chase trying to catch him and Luffy being Luffy, thought it's all fun and games.
Ace just sat on the fence watching the scene before him and laughing. Luffy had spat the watermelon seeds out of his mouth, like a Gatling gun, at the farmer. The farmer got hit with the seeds but continued to chase young Luffy; suddenly Luffy ran out of ammo, so to Ace's delight he took to screaming like a little girl. Luffy ran towards Ace screaming and ducked under the fence and kept on running.
"Wait for me Luffy!" Ace said between his laughter, and ran after his brother.
From that day on Ace teased him about being a little girl.
THE END
