Luffy looked up at the sky that Saturday morning. There was not a single speck of blue in it. Everything was white...like a blank sheet of paper. Clouds of light-gray specked the sky. A cold wind blew and she tightened the coat around her, digging her face into her scarf.

She was sitting on a bench outside waiting. Her icy hands were covered by the warm wool of her gloves.

Her small glove-covered hands cupped a tiny object. A necklace. She fingered the sliver necklace and she looked at the heart that was attached to it. She grinned. A certain boy at school had given it to her and he had asked her out on a date that day.

Of course, Luffy had not really cared for boys...she wasn't interested, but the male had known her biggest weakness. Food.

He had promised to buy her a ton of food and other things that would make her happy if she accepted. She had obviously agreed, but she had wanted to throw away the necklace, but he said she had to wear it, or else she wouldn't get food.

Luffy didn't like necklaces because they were heavy and they jingled when she moved. She hated that. It took away some of her freedom, but if it meant getting food, then she would put it on.

Right now she was waiting for him to come and pick her up. He was late. Luffy pouted as she looked at her watch...She wanted her food.

On the other side of the street, her two protective brothers squatted by a trash dump, watching Luffy from behind a wall. It was a very comical sight to see the two college students squatting in such an obvious hiding spot. If Luffy turned her head, she would have seen the freckle-faced and blonde man watching her from afar.

"Is her date here yet?" asked Sabo, who was very cold and tired, after being woken up at 7:00 a.m. to have a serious conference about Luffy's love life in Ace's room. Man it was a freakin' Saturday...nobody wakes up at 7 am.

"Nope he's not here, that bastard, making her wait that long in the cold."Ace replied as he bit his lip, stretching his neck, trying to see Luffy.

Sabo sighed. He wasn't really that worried about Luffy, but Ace had a sister complex and he had dragged Sabo with him to stalk...ahem...follow Luffy while she was on her date.

"Ace...can we leave...I'm cold. Luffy will be okay, she's strong. If he tries to molest her, then she can just punch him and beat him up." Ah, Sabo shouldn't had said that.

"...molest her?" Ace said in horror while looking at Luffy protectively. "Nooo...we have to stay and help her!" He frantically got up and was about to run off to get Luffy, but Sabo pulled Ace back.

"NO! Come back here. If you do that, then there's no point in waking up early and hiding!" After several moments, Ace finally calmed down and Sabo face-palmed...this was going to be a very long day. And Ace's narcoleptic behavior didn't help the situation either.

Somewhere nearby a teenager was walking around in circles. "Damn...where am I...I was suppose to be at my date a half an hour ago..."

The end...of part 1? Actually I don't know if I should finish this one-shot... please review! ^^
