Thanks for the reviews people! (Larken Rye, Miranda, Kris, and sanjifanforever)

I guess I'll post this for you guys, and the 17 others who didn't review. -mumbles under breath things best left unheard-

Disclaimer: Okay, get this: One Piece. Not mine. Melissa. Mine. Get it? Got it? Good.

Melissa was asleep in her bed, having the most peculiar dream.

--

She was running by a river or a stream of water, or a brooke--something. It was behind a mansion and there was a boy. He was playing a beautiful song on his guitar. Melissa stopped in her tracks about fifty feet away without the boy noticing her. She gasped for breath and then breathed in one giant gulp of air and screamed, "Zo-" Before she could finish, she was in a new atmosphere. Flames were everywhere! Her skin burned everywhere! She could only scream! Then-

BRRIING!! BRRIING!!

Melissa slammed a fist down on her alarm clock. She groaned when she remembered it was her first day in another new school. Terrific.

Wait a second...

Melissa's eyes burned for some reason. She was sweating a lot too. She looked around. Her window was still open from the previous day. Her blanket was on the floor. When she breathed out, she saw her breath!

What the...!

Melissa jumped up, and ran into the hallway bathroom. She was scared of what she would find in her mirror once she flipped on the light. She took one look at her reflection and screamed!

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Melissa's mother ran into the bathroom in a fizzy, "What?! What's wrong Melissa?!"

"MY FACE! MY ARMS! EVERYTHING!"

Ms. Fox looked at her daughter from head to toe. She was completely red!

"Sweety, it's just a little sunburn--"

"LITTLE?! YOU CALL THIS, A LITTLE?!"

Ms. Fox gave an annoyed sigh. She really wasn't in the mood to put up with a hysterical daughter today.

"Melissa, you just forgot sun screen, it'll be okay--"

"No! It absolutely will not be okay!"

The poor girl could have cried then and there from frustration, but she just ran to get ready. I have to have as great a first impression as I can, despite... Melissa looked at herself in the mirror again. All she could manage was a small, "Erp."

Unfortunately for Melissa, she had to wear a tank-top, flip-flops, and shorts because it was nearly ninety-five degrees outside. There was bound to be no air conditioning in her school either, so it would be almost one hundred-and-five degrees.

At least this year... Red is the new black.

Her mother always left before her, so when she missed her bus, and found her bike had a flat tire, she was not a happy person walking the two, long, hot, miles to school.

When Melissa finally reached school (forty-five minutes late) she had to sit in the Principals' Office and received detention, not to mention a long lecture on the importance of being on time. Then she finally was released to home room.

Been there, done that.

Luffy: Me too!

AnimeBabe1031: YOU'RE RUBBER! YOU CAN'T EVEN BURN! -whispers to Rivermoore's Horse- He can't burn, right?

Rivermoore's Horse: -Shrugs- I don't know, but go look for a flamethrower. We'll test him...

Luffy: O.O

AnimeBabe1031: ACE! I NEED YOU!

Same old drill, give me a review, and I'll give you another chapter, eventually... Oh! And, yes, as you can tell I sometimes, get into this bad habit of using words only I usually use... (Ex.: "Fizzy") Ignore me! :) They're from: 'Daisy's Personal Dictionary'!

Luffy: Who's Daisy?

AnimeBabe1031: ME! I'M DAISY!

Rivermoore's Horse: Idiot.

AnimeBabe1031: Thank you. He is an idiot.

Rivermoore's Horse: I was talking about both of you.

AnimeBabe1031: -Growl-
