Chapter 2: Success

When the song was over, the first thing I thought was: 'Did they like me?' I tried to read there faces, but I wasn't very good at that. They talked amongst themselves, but I couldn't here them in this room.

When they were done the manager, Nami gestured for me to come out. "Thanks for being here today." She said.

"You were amazing Monkey chwa-!" Sanji was hit over the head by Nami. I sweat dropped. Scary…

"How'd it go?" Usopp asked when I got home. Usopp is my roommate. He's also one of my best friends I've known since preschool.

"I don't know. I thought I did good. I'm positive that they'll choose me." I put my hands on my hips confidently.

"You have such impenetrable optimism." He commented. "But still, there going on tour after this. If they do pick you, I wont get to see you in a while."

"Don't worry Usopp. We'll keep in touch. I promise." I told him as I plopped down onto the couch next to him. Usopp had my back on everything growing up. It will be hard to say good bye. I'd love it if he came with me, but we both knew that that couldn't happen.

A week passed and I waited everyday for that letter. I was optimistic the whole time. Every morning I'd check the mail box first. One morning when checking the mail box I sifted through the adds and bills until I came across a square envelope that was assigned to me in cursive lettering. I eagerly opening it and the letter read:

Dear Miss. Monkey D Luffy:

We have come to a decision to make you apart of the Wanted crew. We loved your performance and appreciate your skill and talents as a vocalist. The band and I thought it would be of best interest to ask you to be apart of our family. We await your arrival.

Sincerely, band manager Nami.

I screamed my head off. I rushed upstairs to tell Usopp the big news. I ran into his bed room where he was still sleeping. I jumped on top of him clearing the breath from his lungsmaking himdo an 'Ooof!' sound.

"Usopp! Guess what, you'll never believe it!" I shrieked.

"What? Is the apartment on fire?" he groaned sleepily.

"No, I got the letter! WANTED wants me to join!" I bounced up and down in excitement.

"Really? Let me see." He looked awake now. I gave him the letter and he gaped. "This is amazing! Your actually going to be apart of the band."

"Hell yeah I am! This is so exciting! I'm going to tell Ace. Come on, We're going out to eat." I pulled his arm.

"Ok, ok. Let me get dressed first." He said I remembered that he was still wearing pajamas.

"Oh, yeah. Hurry up I'm starving!" I jumped out of his bed.

"Luffy. Pants." Usopp yawned.

"Oops." I keep forgetting to put pants on. I don't like sleeping with pants on. I usually sleep in a shirt and nothing else if you don't count underwear.

The day where I had to leave has come. Usopp and I have celebrated my acceptance until today. Now it was all tears because I was leaving.

"I'm gonna miss you!" Usopp cried.

"I already miss you!"
I already packed my stuff and I was ready to leave. I waved as I departed leaving Usopp to blow his long nose into his tissue.

I was on my way to a brand new adventure. I'll make this experience to be the best one yet. We'll all be one big happy family.

I walked to the recording studio where I was told to meet the. There huge RV waited at the curb. It was there tour bus. That thing was huge! It looked the size of three couch buses put together with massive wheels. It was called the Thousand Sunny. Franky came up with the name. It had a picture of a giant lions head on the front which really kind of looks like a sunflower. It also had the insignia WANTED on the side of it.

"Monkey bro! I mean Sis!" I saw Franky waving towards me as he got off the bus. He was kind of lean and he wore a Hawaii themed shirt and black shorts. His hair was a retro blue color that was in the shape or a wave.

"Hey Franky!" I ran towards him.

"Super to see you to-oof!" I glomped him before he could finish his sentence. He was a lot taller than I was. He hugged back and laughed.

"Miss Luffy, you're here." Nami stepped off the bus.

"Nami!" I greeted.

"We're glad to have you here. I'm so glad there's an actual women in this band." She sighed.

"Huh? You say somethin'?" I picked my nose absentmindedly.

"Well…close enough. Anyway, everyone get on this bus! We have a tight schedule!" she clapped her hands.

"What? Already?"

"Yeah sis. Come on!" Franky hopped on to the bus.

"Bye, so you when we get to Red Line city!" she waved as we got on.

"Arent you coming?" I asked.

"No, I'd rather not. I have my own way of getting there." She said. I didn't understand why she didn't want to travel with us, but I shrugged it off.

"Monkey-chwaan!" Sanji dance over to me. Sanji was also lean but not as tall as Franky. He had blonde hair and some of it covered his left eye. He was the typical ladies man so he wore suits all the time. "It's a pleasure to make this acquaintance to such a beutif-ahh!"

"Get a grip, your embarrassing yourself." Zoro planted a foot in Sanji's back. Zoro was obviously more muscular than both of them. You could even tell when he was wearing a shirt. My favorite part about him was his rocking green hair and his amazing green eyes.

"Why you!" they began to fight.

"Is it always like this?" I asked Franky.

"Pretty much. You'll get used to it." He assured. I laughed. These guys were funny. I couldn't be happier that I was here.
