Disclamier: I don't own One Piece; I usually forget to put this thing up, even if it's obvious.

I'm really happy to get these things out. Since it's summer, I have time to update other stories and edit these.

Girl falls into One Piece

Fushia Village

I think it was late because I gave an involuntary yawn and I usually don't tire easily, but in this child form it feels like I'm a normal child energy wise. Thank God no one saw me, I think I embarrassed myself enough. Luffy was already asleep on the counter and with a empty glass and plate next to him. I looked at the clock and saw it was already 2:00 am. I was talking to Makino, Luffy and Shanks the whole night. I lost track of time quickly. It was a long time since I had a good time with a conversation.

I yawned again after laying my cheek on the counter and unfortunately someone noticed and it sucked for me when I saw the person that realized it. Shanks said. "You sleepy, Mister?"

He has been annoying me about that and my joke backfired and he was using it against me. So I learned he calls Luffy anchor and now I'm mister. It makes me wonder about my question from earlier, does he like picking on kids or something? Anyway, I just grumbled to answer his question and he gave me a mocking grin, but not unfriendly.

He laughed, but I could not keep my eyes open any longer. I heard a chuckle and a giggle. I really hope the giggle was Makino. I smirked, at my thoughts, I could see Shanks giggling like a little girl in my head and chuckled tiredly, but stopped when even that seemed to drain my energy. I was between the lines of awake and asleep. I felt someone pick me up and heard Shanks say. "Makino, I know this is a lot to ask, but could she stay with you? A pirate ship isn't a place to be raised, I could give you money to help with her if you need it."

Shanks was the one holding me, I could hear him talk through his chest and his strong arms holding me. I winced against his chest at what he said. He shouldn't have to pay for me, I feel like such a burden. I should be the one repaying him for saving my life.

He such a nice guy, nobody like I've met before. I frowned at the thought of someone needing to take care of me, I'm 16 years old. But then I thought about it and realized I look like I'm 7 and that's what he's thinking of. During my inner ramblings. I almost missed what Makino said back to him. "It's fine, I would love to take care of a girl and have one around. I don't need money; here I'll lead the way."

I felt myself move a little and then 2 sets of footsteps. I then felt us go up some stairs and a minute later a soft thing and a pillow was under my back and head. I felt a warm and soft hand brush my cheek and couldn't help but smile softly with my eyes shut. The touch was probably Makino. I was not used to it, the last time someone touched me that warmly was when everything was a lot easier when I was a kid. I snuggled into the blanket that was put over me with a soft sigh and finally fell asleep.

I woke up and heard a bang. I thought I was home. Even if that dream was nice, I'm glad to finally be home. I and father can ignore each other and I'll hang out with Eric today. I loved the people in my dream, they were very nice. I sat up with a yawn and my eyes closed, but I froze. My body still feels that of a little kid. I trembled as I slowly opened my eyes and saw I was still here in this place and not home like I thought. I clutched my hair and fell back on the bed with a groan.

I don't like this! I want to go home! I pulled at my hair tighter than before. I hurt, but I tried to distracting myself from my thoughts of angst. Great, is this how emo people feel? I'll never think badly about them again. I heard a knock on the door and I jumped. I shut my eyes and took a deep breath and sat up again. I let go of my hair and calmed my breathing. I really don't want to fall apart now. I made sure my voice was calm when I said. "Come in."

Makino came in with a smile on her face. Even though she had green hair, that woman was really pretty. She said. "So you're awake. You sleep longer than Luffy."

It was said not unkindly though and I grinned nervously at her and tried to flatten my hair from the pulling I did. Her smile stayed in place as she stood by the door, she continued what she was saying. "I made a bath, so you can eat if you want afterward. Do you need help?"

I felt blood rush to my cheeks and then remembered I looked only around 7 years old. I have to remember that. I told her while I climbed out of bed and stood in front of her. "No thank you, I got it."

She grabbed a bundle of something off the dresser in the room I didn't notice before and went into the bathroom across the hall. A bathtub was in the middle filled with water. She set the bundle on a small wooden table next to the tub and closed the door behind her.

I stripped off my clothes and got into the water. I smiled to myself, it was warm. After cleaning my hair and body, I dried myself off with a towel that was placed on top of the bundle and looked at the clothes. A sky blue t-shirt, jean shorts that came to above my knees and simple sandals that fit well enough.

After I was done, I looked in the mirror in front of the sink. I suddenly had an idea as a grin came upon my face. I turned the sink faucet on and put my head under it. I let in run all over my head until my hair felt heavy on my head. I then grabbed random parts and stretched them in all different directions. I looked at myself in the mirror and laughed with an ear splitting grin on. My head looked like it had a thousand spikes.

My hair was dripping a bit and I walked down stairs happy as I coulf be. The bar was there and I saw Luffy sitting at the bar, his back facing me. I guess I looked more like a boy, but I never really cared about what my gender was. I called to Luffy. "Hey Luffy! What do ya think?"

He looked at me and grinned. "Cool! Makino look at Mace's hair."

I saw her turn around and first she looked shocked, but then she giggled. I looked around and could not find Shanks and his crew. My smile dimmed. Did they leave without saying goodbye? Was I just something they just dropped off? They didn't seem like that, but I didn't know why these thoughts hurt me so much. I asked Makino softly. "Do you know where Shanks and his crew are?"

Her eyes had an understanding look I ignored. She replied. "Shanks don't…feel well. He's on the boat and his crew too."

My bad mood turned good and I dubbed what she said to hangover. I say I should pull a little prank. My stomach grumbled before I could think about it more and I looked at the plate on the counter. Makino laughed and said it was mine. I ran to it and ate quickly, not knowing how long his hangover would last. I told Makino, after swallowing a bite of egg. "Makino, thank you for everything. I want to go out, is that okay?"

She nodded and I hopped off the stool I was on and before I could leave, Luffy stopped me by saying. "Hey! I'm coming too!"

I felt slightly annoyed at his demanding tone, but ignored it. I walked out and Luffy followed right behind me. We together walked to the docks and saw Shanks's ship there. Luffy asked. "What are we doing over here?"

I said. "We're gonna see Shanks."

His eyes widened in surprise and he asked. "Really?!"

I nodded and put 2 fingers to my lips, I said. "Yeah, but we gotta be quiet if this is gonna work."

Luffy asked me, cocking his head to the side. "Are we even aloud to be in there?"

I shrugged with a grin and said. "I think so, I came here in it."

He asked excited. "You're a pirate?"

Resisting the urge to face palm, I shook my head no and replied. "No, Shanks found me." He nodded and his face got serious or as serious as he could get. We walked up the dock and onto the boat behind some crates. We were crouched on the ground and our heads barely peaked above the crates, so we were hidden well. After all, who would expect two 7 year old kids to sneak up on a pirate ship?

I looked up quickly and saw a couple of Shanks's crew that I saw walking around before on the ship strolling. They were nameless to me. I decided we should split up. I got closer to Luffy and whispered in his ear. "We need to split up, if you find Shanks, wake him up with the most noise possible and try to get away."

He grinned at me and I could see the excitement shinning in his eyes. With a nod, we both went into different directions. I'll admit I did the whole James Bond thing. The rolling, ducking and hiding behind stuff thing. I was crawling around something and was suddenly picked up by the back of my shirt.

My feet were in the air for a moment before they touched the deck. I looked up and saw it was Benn that did it. He was the guy I saw when I met Shanks and the First Mate, which I found out later. Anyway, when I saw him staring at me, I could not help blush from being embarrassed at being caught. I scratched the back of my head and grinned sheepishly. I asked him. "Hi Benn. How you been?"

He smirked and said instead of answering me. "What are you doing?"

I looked away with a huff and said defeated. "Lookin' for Shanks."

He pointed in a direction and replied easily. "He's over there."

I blinked and saw him pointing at Shanks sleeping on a hammock with his hat on his stomach. I was surprised that he showed me that easily. Didn't he think that a person rolling around and then asking for the Captain suspicious? Oh, yeah I'm a damned kid. I guess I forget again. I looked at Benn again, but saw him walking away.

I got back to the mission at hand and was surprised to see Luffy on the other end, closing in. I waved him over and he quickly ran over to me. We quietly walked over to Shanks and I showed him 3 fingers. I closed my fist and showed one finger. Then I put up the second one and lastly the 3rd finger went up like before and we yelled.

"HEY SHANKS!"

Shanks jumped, twisted in his hammock and fell on the wooden floorboards on his stomach. His hat fell on his ass and he was holding his head, groaning. He cracked his eyes open and stared at us, we stared back for a moment and Luffy cracked up. He fell on the floor laughing. It stirred the amusement in me and I cracked up too. Soon, I joined Luffy on the floor laughing, holding my stomach and tears of laughter going down my face.

Then it got hard to breathe so I stopped and sat with my legs crossed on the deck, but I was still breathing heavy. I felt Luffy leaning on me. When I looked at Shanks, he was sitting the same way as me and his hat was back on his head. He asked. "So, what was that for?"

I was about to say something, but froze. Why did I do that? I usually didn't pull pranks on people and I only known him for a couple of days. Is the youth I turned into changing the way I act? Luffy answered. "It was Mace's idea!"

I was Shanks look back at me and he asked. "Why, then?"

I shrugged and suddenly grinned at a memory.

"Then you have no sense of humor, because I thought it was".

I grinned wider at the memory and told him. "I told you I had a sense of humor."

His eyes widened before he pushed the brim of his hat over his eyes and all I saw was shadows. I gulped, did I make him mad? Is he not as laidback as I thought he was? He said. "Well, since I'm a pirate, you both have to pay, don't you?"

I froze and then relaxed once I saw his grin. Then I saw what that grin met and I knew he would make me pay, but not harmfully and I wondered how a pirate could be so playful. I grabbed Luffy's hand and pulled us both to our feet and said. "Run."

He nodded and we took off. I heard Shanks behind us and I took a swift turning with Luffy still holding my hand. He was laughing and I couldn't help the wide grin that almost split my own face. Soon enough I saw the front of the boat and then Shanks was in front of us, arms wide. I gave a squeak and pulled Luffy left and Shanks jumped to our side and grabbed Luffy in his arms. I skid to a stop and Luffy said. "Ah, damn it! Mace Run!"

I ran off and heard Luffy laughing loudly and was running around to the other end of the ship and finally stopped, panting and hunched over with my hands on my knees. I saw Yasopp stare at me and he said with a grin. "I saw what you did to the Captain. He got Luffy tied up and he's coming for you next, just thought you should know."

I let out a involuntary childish giggle and fled down the deck yelling out thanks. I was breathing heavy and then I was suddenly caught and held tightly in a pair of arms. All I saw was a white shirt and I was let loose a little and I looked up to see Shanks with a large grin on his face. I squirmed around, but it was useless to try. He said. "I finally caught you, the main culprit."

I huffed and wondered what he would do? I knew he wouldn't hurt me, but it had to be something, right? I was so lost in thought I didn't notice that I was in one arm. I was then broken out of my thoughts by being tickled mercilessly. I remember laughing harder than I ever had before. I think he stopped after I was literally shrieking out my sorry; I won't ever do it again.

He just laughed and carried me to where he had Luffy tied up. He untied him and he let me down with a tap to my head. We walked to the Party Bar with his crew behind us. I was thinking about that whole game we played. I never acted like that, well actually one memory is similar to it, one when I thought my father was the best man in the world and my Hero.

I was 6 years old and my dad was in his study, only being a lieutenant at the time. I was sitting in a chair next to his desk with my knees on it and leaning on the desk to look at what he was doing, but not understanding a single bit. He looked at me with a grin and said. "What'cha doin' Macy?"

I pouted and said. "Nothin'. Looking at ya work."

He nodded and said. "Good, because when you become an adult, you will be like your Daddy."

I nodded, wanting to be just like my hero when I grew up. He chuckled and set down his pen and picked me up, setting me in his lap. I giggled at him and started poking my sides every once in a while and then a few seconds until he was full out tickling me to death till I was almost blue in the face. I remember taking a lot of air in and said with a pout. "That was mean Daddy!"

He laughed loudly and leaned back a little throwing me up in the air and catching me again. My mother came in with a giggle holding my one year old brother Eric….

I was broken out of the memory by someone tackling me to the ground and I looked to see Luffy, he whined. "Why weren't you paying attention?"

I said. "Sorry Luffy, I was thinking."

He got up with a grin and pulled me to my feet and I saw the Party bar in front of us and saw Shanks laughing at us. We all walked in and me, Shanks and Luffy walked to the counter and sat down. I was between Shanks and Luffy. I put my elbow on the table and put my chin on it. That memory really made me homesick.

Thinking about how my father was kind before I rejected ever wanting to be in the military. He turned harder after that, more so when he went up in his rank. Eric really wanted to be like him and made that his life. As I got older I saw no appeal to it, rules and stuff just sounded boring to me.

My mother got duller with the fights that happened and poor Eric in the middle and I could only do so much. I wonder how they are thinking right now. Do any one them miss me at all? This may be really selfish, but I wish they would. Would they accept me if they knew I was back to a 7 year old. Eric would, wanting to be the big sibling for once. I realized I was shaking when I heard Makino's voice. "Are you okay?"

I looked at her and nodded, looking away quickly. I did not want her look right through me. I really don't want to break down and if and when I do, it will be when I'm alone. I sure they will all look at me like I'm pathetic, especially Shanks, Makino and Luffy. I grown attached to them in the last couple of days. I felt my head hit the counter and I fell asleep.

3rd Point of View

Shanks and Makino looked at the girl that fell asleep randomly. Makino went around the bar counter and picked her up gently and shushed Luffy when he was about to yell something. Makino carried her up stairs and laid her on the bed. She pulled out a long shirt and undressed the girl slowly so not to wake her.

She pulled the shirt over her head and laid her down and covered her with a blanket. The little girl's hair was flat now and Makino ran a hand through it softly getting a content sigh from the person she was doing it to. Giving the girl a soft smile she couldn't see, Makino closed the door with a soft click.

Makino went down stairs and went back to talking to Shanks. Luffy looked at Makino worriedly. "Is Mace okay?"

Makino noticed Shanks look at her with the corner of his eye and she said. "She must be tired. She just got here a couple for days and ago and was already running about. She just needs to sleep."

Luffy looked back at the food in front of her and started eating happily. The day then went on normally.

On Earth, Eric Perry

Eric Perry was very worried now that his sister has been gone for about a week. His father was all shut up in his study and his mother was more quiet than usual. He missed her and instead of joking around in class he was quiet and only did his work. His friends were worried, but knew what happened and decided to leave him alone. He was walking home and felt that he would never get his sister back and wondered if she was okay. He would be satisfied if she was okay.

On Earth, but in The Book Shop

The old man was pacing in his shop and groaning. "How did I not know this was coming?"

He didn't even thinkabout it at the time when Macon A. Perry showed up in his shop, but HE will be pissed once HE figured out what he done. He shook his head and sat behind his desk with a sigh. If he comes than he comes, no need to dweal on it.

Then before he could say or think anything else, a door creaked open and a shadow was in his shop, a voice boomed. "JOHN, THE WOODEN MAGIC ARTIST! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!"

The old man that owned the Book shop could only gulp and pale.
