I'm just being impatient...

"Ne, Nami, when is she going to wake up?" From a loud worried voice in a distance, I think it belongs to a young boy.

"Haih. I really don't know, Luffy. I'm going to check on her now." A girl reply. Those voices are muffled like they had passed through a wall or something.

I pried open my eyes and finds myself in a room on a bed. While letting my eyes to be accustomed to the bright light from the only window of the room, I look around the room. The room is made out of wood, like a cabin. There's a desk near the stairs which is opposite of the bed I'm lying now. For where I can see, the desk is filled with papers and drawings. This room is quite gorgeous because all the furniture looks quite expensive. On the night table beside me, there's a picture of a woman with two little girls and a tangerine. I wrinkled my nose as I can feel perfumes burning my nose now. Slowly sitting up from the bed, I notice that there's a mattress made-ready on the floor beside the bed. So, this room got two people, eh? Flexing my aching body and trying not to breathe in too much, I think I slept too long for once, but, thank god, I'm still wearing the same outfit as before, t-shirt and short skirt.

As fast as I could with this tired body, I walk towards the window. A second later, from what I can see, I think I'm on a ship. The calm water is stretching miles away. And it's a bright day as well.

Behind me, the trapdoor opens and clicking sounds from a pair of high heels descending the stairs. "Oh, you're awake. You sure can sleep. It's been two days since we found you. I brought some water if you want. Do you want some food as well? But that's going to cost you." Says a girl with orange hair in revealing outfits. She walks towards the bar to place down the tray she brought with her.

I was shocked seeing her. Oh shit. This is so not happening to me. There's no way that the girl standing few feet away from me is truly Nami, the Straw-hat's navigator, from One Piece, the animation and manga, right? Isn't it just a made up world? But, the girl I'm looking at has the same hair, same face and even the same sexy figure as the character.

The girl waited for a few minutes, figuring that she wouldn't get any reply from me, she walks towards me and puts a hand on my forehead. "Are you okay? It's too bad that we don't have a doctor on the ship, and, originally, I don't want to take any troubles on board, but, captain's order. So, why are you out in the sea by you own?" There's a hint of care in her voice.

Snapping out of my shock, I step back a few feet from her as she brought another gust of strong perfumes. "E-em, I'm-I'm fine, t-thank you. What did you meant by I'm a-alone on the sea? Err... By the way, is your n-name Nami?" I nervously ask her. Figuring that I have to deal with the situation in front of me first and get some answers.

One of her eyebrows lifted higher than another. I know she's suspicious with my actions and knowledge. "I don't know how you know about my name, but, yes, I'm Nami. I think only you know why you are out in the sea. We found you fainted, on a small wrecked boat, two days ago. And it's our captain, Luffy, who saved you. If you want to thank him, follow me. I think you're fit enough for a walk." After she said finish, she shrugged and left the room, letting me to follow.

In a few seconds and after having a mental war with myself, I accepted the fact that I'm really in One Piece. I know I can adapt well to my surroundings, so, what the heck. Sighing, I prepared myself and started to walk up the stairs. Above the stairs, I entered a room which I think is the storage room, with the barrels and foods stacking up high. There's even a cannon in here.

Without any warning, an excited boy with raven hair pops out of nowhere before I successfully exited the room. With a straw hat hanging behind of his neck, he's wearing a red vest and a pair of shorts. He has a hugh smile and a innocent face, but I didn't failed to notice that he got a long scar under his left eye. "Hi, my name is Luffy, Monkey d. Luffy. I'm the captain of this ship. What's your name? Nami told me you're awake."

"H-hi, my n-name is Ame, its short for Ryu Ame. Thank you for saving me," I say timidly, backing two steps up.

"Yosh, welcome to the Straw-hat pirates ship, Going Merry, Ame. Come, I'll show you around. By the way, I'm a rubber-man." Showing off, he pulls his cheek to stretch into a non-human-able length.

Knowing and accepting the fact is a comfort to me, so, I'm glad to not have a heart-attack after a demonstration from Luffy. "Whoa, that's cool, Luffy." I smiles to Luffy, keeping up the show.

"Yep. You don't look shock like others when I show them the first time. That's good. Come, Ame, I'll introduce you to the others." Laughing, Luffy stretches his hand to grab my wrist.

Instantly, I know that I like the child-like captain. With him pulling me, I follow him out of the room with a laugh. "Okay. Okay. Stop pulling me so fast, Luffy." I gently scold him. He feels just like a little brother to me.

The ship isn't big at all. With just a few steps out of the room, Luffy brought me to first person which is Usopp. He wasn't far from the room I come out of. Sitting on the deck, Usopp was tinkering with some gadgets. With his back facing us, I don't think he notices us.

"Usopp! Look who I brought." With a wink to me, Luffy said loudly into Usopp's ear while smiling.

"Oi! Stupid Luffy. Who ask you to shout in my ears? Don't you know that me, the great inventor and the sharpest shooter, is working?" Usopp scolded Luffy loudly as he comforts his temporary injured ears.

"Gomen." said Luffy bowing down but there's not a drop of sincere in it. Usopp continues to lectures the captain, while the captain digs his nose with his other hand, not caring what Usopp saying.

With the happenings, I covered my laughter with my hand. I decided to speak up. "Erhm. Hello to you too, Usopp. My name's Ame." Light chuckles coming out of my lips.

Finally noticing my presence, Usopp turn his face to me. He's got the signature long nose and the dark curly hair as said. "Hello. I am the great Usopp, the ggggrrreatest inventor and the ggggrrrreatest adventurer in aaall the sea~" He bow to me with polite and started his little speech, but was cut, or rather kick, abruptly by a long leg in black slacks.

Wondering whose leg was that, I turn to its direction. "Oh, so, your beautiful name is Ame, e? I have been waiting for such a beautiful girl like you to wake up. It's such an honour to know the beautiful name of yours. May I call you Ame-swan or Ame-Chan or~" With hearts as his eyes, the blond continue to tick off names from his small list.

Letting him to continue, I turn my attention to the smiling captain beside me. Silently, he knows what I'm going to ask. "His name is Sanji. He is the cook in our ship. He's funny sometimes." I chuckled to what Luffy meant by funny.

"Aho-Luffy, take your dirty hands off Ame-Chan now." Noticing Luffy still got his hands on mine, Sanji swiftly kick off Luffy's from mine without making a scratch on my skin. "Oh, he didn't hurt you, did he? My lovely Ame-Chan?" He picks my hand up for inspections.

"N-no. Thank you for your concerns, Sanji." Blushing, I slowly take my hand away from Sanji's long finger. But a second later, I was hoping to disappear. Because, unexpectedly, my stomach rumbles right in front of them. Oh my god.

A moment of silence.

"Oh, how unthoughtful of me. Would you care to follow me to the galley? It would be my pleasure to serve you, my lovely Ame-Chan." Sanji's attitude changed 180 degrees after hearing my stomach's outburst. I nodded to him, not wanting to continue starve myself after two days of sleeping. As a gentleman, he leads the way to the galley with me following him willingly.

"Food! Sanji, I want also food." Luffy bouncing happily behind me, following us.

"No, you just had your lunch one hour ago." Says Sanji while lighting a cigarette. Arriving at the entrance of the galley, he gives way for me and kicks Luffy feet away.

"Awww, but, how come Ame can have food?" Sitting up from the spot he fell, Luffy asks with a pout, not much of a scratch on him.

"Because she haven't eat for two days, baka-captain." A vein showing up on his forehead.

I put a hand on Sanji's shoulder to stop him from his idea of kicking Luffy into the sea as Luffy continues to whine complains. "Err, Sanji, would it be a problem to make some food for Luffy?" I say quickly, not wanting them to start a war over food.

"Of course not, my lovely Ame-Chan." Eyes turning into hearts again, "I'll prepare it right away." turning to Luffy. "Say thank you to dear Ame-Chan, baka-captain." Sanji says coldly. He left the scene and walks into the galley.

"Coming, Luffy?" Smiling, I ask the childlike captain. He quickly bounces up. Even though he's only younger than me by two years, I feel like he's only ten.

Knowing that he would follow me, I turned and entered the galley. Since Going Merry is only a small ship, the galley serves the purpose of meeting room, kitchen and helm. Sanji went to prepare the ingredients while humming an unknown song.

In the galley, I noticed there are already three people in it, excluding Sanji. Two of them are girls, one is Nami and another one has long light blue hair. They are talking over the maps on the table while the third person having grass green hair is sleeping near the door. His three swords are leaning on the wall beside him.

Luffy had ran pass me, sitting on a chair, waits for Sanji's cooking. "Oh, the others are here. That's Nami and Vivi," pointing to the girls. They smiles and greets daringly to me. "And that's Zoro," points to the guy who is still sleeping. "That would be all of my nakama." Luffy ended with his signature smile. I smiled back to him.

"Hello, Nami, Vivi. My name is Ame, Ryu Ame. Thank you for taking care of me." I greeted them more formally.

"It's ok, Ame. Just so you know, you own me some belis." Nami reply me with a smile and eyes of beli signs. Vivi just greet me with one of her warm smiles.

Lines appearing on my forehead. "Hai, Nami." Same as what Wayne told me. Oh, well, unless I meet Shin again, I wouldn't have a chance to return to where I belong, right?

I tried to follow Luffy to the seats. Maybe because my body is still tired. Suddenly, my strength is drained and I feel myself dropping. I was expecting pain from my fall, but, a pair of strong hands had caught me before I fall. "Hey, be careful."

It really hurts me that i'm throwing out paper planes when there's no reply given... Please give reviews...(try imagining the cutest puppy begging you)
