Chapter 2

Lucy's POV

The moment I woke up, i felt a hand gently pet my head. I wondered who it was. I looked up tiredly, I saw the brown haired man smiling softly and brushing my head softly. I simply smiled and laid back down. Not closing my eyes, but more relaxed.

I lifted my head a little to see if he was feeling better, he looked better than when he was outside.

"You okay? You looked like you were in a pretty bad shape while you were outside." I asked. "I carried you here, I hope that your injuries aren't to bad."

"I'm sorry about that," He spoke, his voice was better than when he called out the name 'Luffy'. I liked his voice. "I didn't mean to disturb you, but thanks for saving me."

I couldn't help but smile a bit.

"Its fine!" I said. "As long as your okay, I don't mind. By the way, My name is Lucy Heartfilia. How about you?"

I stared at him as he stopped and looked down. I wonder if I said something wrong.

"My name is," He began, "Portgas D. Ace. But you could just call me Ace, makes the process easier."

"Okay Ace!" I cheered. I smiled over to him. He looked at me rather hurt, but then smiled softly.

"You remind me of someone I know, Ms. Heartfilia." He commented.

"You don't have to call me that," I giggled. "You can call me Lucy if you want, or any other nickname. And who do I remind you of?"

I crooked my head curiously. He gave a small chuckle.

"Okay, Lu, and You remind me of my little brother, his name is Luffy." He replied. "He wants to be the King of the Pirates, and get One Piece, but I can't ever meet him again."

I questioned him...What? King of what? One Piece? What's that?

"What are you talking about?" I asked.

He looked at me surprised for a sec. But then gave me a question. "I'm in heaven aren't I? I thought everyone knew about that..."

I looked at him questionably. "Heaven? Wait, you think your dead?"

He looked at me puzzled. "Well I did get my insides cooked, and then I just died in Luffy's arms."

"Wait, Ace, your not dead, your in Fiore right now. You didn't die."

"That doesn't make sense, I mean, I got my insides cooked protecting Luffy," I stared with wide eyes.

I looked down...no way..." Its happening again..." I whispered.

"What do you mean?" he asks. Curious as to what I meant.

"You say that your "dead" right? That you died in your little brother's arms," He nodded a yes. I simply sighed. "I guess I should explain. A long time ago, a girl who is in my Guild was proclaimed 'dead' same as you. But what really happened was that she was transported to a parallel world. Where the personalities were different from here. Two years later, we ended up going into the world, and fixed the problem before we were to stay there forever. We also got the girl back. What happened to my friend, could have happened to you."

He was a little confused, but slowly started putting things together for himself. "So you friend was considered dead but wasn't really?"

"In a sense yes. However it still doesn't make sense. I mean, you say you were cooked from the inside, so that mean, you were dead. But I think that it might be the moment you went through that gate you were given a recovery, thus you are still alive right now. Makes sense, but why this world? Why not a parallel world, in which you would still have the same concept, but the world around you would be different...strange..."

"Lu, I'm still confused..." He said honestly. I looked at him apologetically.

"I'm sorry I got carried away in my own world." I say. After that very moment, I looked over to the clock. "Ace, I've got to-"

Before I could finish, he was already asleep. I sweetdropped. How do you just randomly fall asleep like that? A huge bubbled came from his nose as he snored loudly. I couldn't help but smile.

So cute! I thought to myself. I laid him back down, and cover him in a blanket. I went over to get some food and left it on his night stand. Afterwards I wrote a note and put it against his glass of water.

I placed a small kiss on his forehead and walked away. I went home after that. Before I left for good and started heading out in the late night to the station, I looked back at the infirmary.

"Good Luck Ace," I whispered. Walking ahead and onto the train, I sat for hours, waiting in the train to get home. As much as my mind told me to stay by Ace's side, he's going to go through a journey of finding his new goal. I don't really know much about him. But I can't do anything, I'd just be in his way.

Whatever the reason is that he has, I'll meet up with him soon one day. I'm sure of it. Maybe he'll just wonder in the guild without me noticing.

Once I got home, I went to relax. Today was a confusing night, but I'm glad that I was able to help him out in some way.

{ONE MONTH LATER}

Its been about a month since I last saw Ace. I haven't heard from him or heard if he's been busy with his own Journey. I worry for him, since he doesn't know what kind of world he's in. I mean, he's just like Lisanna, or at least almost. Based off what I figured out, Ace is technically dead. He isn't supposed to be alive, but Fiore is his heaven in a sense.

I sat in the guild hall, sitting in front of Mira, who seemed to talk none stop about Lisanna and Natsu's sex life. I just agreed with whatever she said. I got over Natsu a long time ago. I didn't really mind or anything. Rather, my mind was only filled with that "Ace" fellow I saved.

The moment I heard the doors fly open, I turned around and thought it was Natsu again, trying to show off or goof around, but It wasn't It was someone else.

I stared astonished. "Ace!" I called out.

He heard me and looked for me in the questionable voices. Once he found me, his expression went to ease and a huge toothy grin appeared over his face.

"Lu! Long time no see!" He called out.

He wore a white cape of sorts and had new hat, new necklace, and new bag that swung over his shoulder.

Ace walked towards me and gave me a peck on the forehead. I could hear the gasps from behind and Mira behind me fan girling all about the situation.

"That's for leaving me behind in the hospital," He whispered. I blushed a deep red. D-did he really just do that?! In front of the entire guild?!

"A-ace" I shrunk down into the seat behind me and I could hear him chuckle while everyone else was just either blushing along side me, or snickering. "D-did you really have to do that in front of everyone?!"

His smile turned into a devilish smirk, "Not really, but I need you for something, and I'm hoping you'll help me out."

"What is it?" I asked. Looking up, I saw his bare chest and blushed a bit more. He took my hand and held it tightly.

"I need to make a job request, and i'm hoping you'll accept it." I questioned it a little, but before i could lead him into the Master's office, I heard someone kick the door wide open. It was Natsu and Lisanna. And behind them was Laxus. Strangely enough, along side with his team.

"Ah~! That was such a long mission." Complained Natsu. Then he realized the crowed in front of him. Everyone was still staring at us. I looked down and got closer to Ace, who held onto my hand. "Whose this Luce?"

I waved at him as a greeting. "Hey Natsu, This is my friend, Ace. Ace, this is Natsu, Natsu this is Ace. We were just about to go into the Master's office for something, see you later Natsu."

I waved good bye and walked away from the crowed, holding Ace's hand. It's not that I hate Natsu, its just a little awkward, being as I use to have a crush on him and all.

Ace walked along side me and as soon as we were far away enough so no one could hear us, I took a sigh.

"Why were you in such a hurry to walk away from that guy? Did he do something to you or something?" I heard Ace ask, his voice was lower than I remembered. And plus, once I look at him closely, he's even more built and in better condition than when I left him.

"I had a crush on him before, and then he got a girlfriend, so It kinda got awkward when I'm near him. But I'm already over him." I say to him at the front of Master's office.

"Oh I see." He says. The way he looked when he said it as I stared at him was adorable. I blushed slightly, but looked away and stared at the door.

"Anyway, this is the Master's office, you can go in and set yourself a mission request." He simply nodded. I let go of his warm hand and opened the door and entered. I stared at my hand. It felt a little weird holding his hand. It was bigger than mine and warm. Not as hot as Natsu's, but warm. After I moved my head towards the other who seemed to be wondering what was going on.

As I walked down the stairs, Mira was the first one to be right in front of me.

"Who was that?" Her eyes twinkling in excitement. Oh boy.

I took in a deep sigh, "I'll explain."

I looked up to the stairs.

I wonder what mission request you have Ace.
