WOOHOO my first fan-fic! I adoreOne Piece, but sadly I don't get to watch it often. So there may a few out of character moments and I apologize like whoa. Hmm, I'll appreciate advice and critism as long as it's not like, "You suck at writing give up." If you said that I would probably cry, go into a state of depression, or not care at all and keep writing. So I think you're supposed to have a disclaimer on this.

Disclaimer: I do not own One Piece, but it would be really cool if I did . but I do own Misa and Sandhill and everyone who lives on it!

Enjoy the story! Oh before I forget I'm going to post chapter 2 also, because this chapter isn't my greatest!

"Where is everybody," Luffy wondered as he wandered the rooms of the Merry Go. The young captain hadn't heard from anybody since breakfast.

"NAMI-SANJI-ZOLO-CHOPPER-USOPP?" He called in vain. Finally he found everybody asleep on the table in the kitchen. No wonder he hadn't seen them. Without hesitation, he went around waking each one up.

After all the complaining was over Luffy asked everyone what was wrong. The orange-haired girl, Nami, spoke for the group.

"Luffy we need to take a break." She told him. The black-haired teen smiled broadly at her. "Well sure guys; all you had to do was ask." Everyone smiled. "So Nami where's the nearest island," the blonde cook Sanji asked with hearts in his eyes.

Nami pulled out a map and began looking over it. "Hm. . . Well there's a winter island pretty close by," she started. Sweat drops appeared on every crewmember head. "But if we go a little farther out we have the spring island. . . oh."

Luffy cut her off. "The spring island Oh what kind of name is that?" Sanji kicked the back of his head, "Let the lady finish Luffy." "Thank you Sanji." She said turning her attention back to the map. "No the island is called Sandhill."

Everyone's eyes popped open at the strange name. "Sandhill?" They asked in unison. Nami laughed. "Yes Sandhill, I've been there once before." "Why's it called Sandhill Nami?" Luffy asked curiously.

She laughed again, recalling the memory. "Well, the main reason is the giant sand hill on the center." She began. "But also, when the sun rises and sets, all the sand on the island appears rainbow, the sand from the hill is said to hold mystical powers."

"WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR THEN?" Luffy cried out. "Guys, I don't think it's such a great idea," Usopp spoke up. "There's no need to worry Usopp," Nami said. "Actually Sandhill is such a peaceful place, it's perfect for our little vacation." "Well then we're all agreed?" A now excited Luffy asked.

The crew nodded enthusiastically. "LET'S HEAD OUT TO SANDHILL THEN!" The whole crew cheered and began their new adventure.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Misa walked quietly along the peaceful shores of Sandhill. She picked up a handful of sand, now rainbow thanks to the setting sun. The breeze blew gently, blowing her long black hair all around her. She tucked the two rainbow strands that bordered her face behind her ears.

Suddenly she threw the handful of sand up towards the sky. She watched the dizzying patterns as it fell back to earth. A slow smile spread across her pale face. "Sandhill's getting some visitors," she thought, as she ran to tell the other villagers.

Ok there's chapter one, very short I know but I just want to separate the beginning from the rest because I can never start stories well. I PROMISE THEY WILL GET BETTER! Uhmm so you know, Misa means beautiful sand . (looked it up on some site) and the rainbow strands are the part that like fall right in front of her face, she was born with them and you'll find out why later on. Anyway I hope you all liked it and it would REALLY nice if you guys could review and let me know what you thought. THANKS!
