A/N: Two friends meet Luffy's crew and join. Find out how they adapt to this new environment of adventure.
Carley was in the book store looking for a few books to read while her girlfriend was wondering around in a different part of town. most of the books were manga from other anime shows, fairytales, and other fantasy books that interested her. When Carley was done picking the books she wanted and liked, they were stacked so high that they covered her face. Enabling her from seeing where she was going, she accidentally bumped into someone causing her to drop all the books she bought.
"S-Sorry. I didn't see you," She said.
"It's okay. Here. Let me help you with those," The woman said helping Carley with her books, "I see you like to read."
"Y-Yeah. It's my favorite pass time, along with writing stories."
"I see. I read a lot of books myself when I'm bored. I read more than my friends do. They say I'm a bookworm, but it doesn't bother me at all," The woman said.
Carley could see that the woman is older than she is with shoulder length raven hair. Her skin is tan and has dark aqua eyes and wore a rea shirt with light blue jeans and black shoes.
"That's cool. I bet you know about a lot of of things in history, huh?" Carley wondered.
"A little. Whatever can pass the time."
"I have a friend who's not into history that much because it's boring. But I don't blame her. Some part of it are boring. Even for me."
"Depends on what you read. What's your name?"
"Carley. Carley Palmer."
"That's a nice name. Mine is Nico Robin." Robin smiling warmly. "What about your friend's name?"
"Oh. Her name is Leah Roberts. She's really nice and friendly, but at the same time, very shy around other people like I am sometimes," Carley said as Robin lightly laughed at that.
"Sounds like she is. I'd like to meet her."
"Yeah. And speaking of Leah....." Carley began walking into town square, "Where is Leah, anyway?"
