"It's the same each and every night~! Stare at my screen with two big bloodshot eyes~! I'm stuck self torturing, my meds are failing me~Internal clock in smithereens, can't fix this, I'm hopeless~! My eyes are stapled open wide as I lay down on my side~I am bouncing off these walls~! And as I focus on the clock, time stands still, but I cannot~! I should strap myself in bed, I guess I'll sleep when I am dead~!" Kailee sung, smiling and humming as she viewed the ocean.
"What kind of song is that?" Ace asked, slightly disturbed.
"It's a song from my world! It's called I'll Sleep When I Am Dead by Set It Off. They're one of my favorite bands! There's also Distance Disturbs Me, Wolf In Sheep's Clothing, and more! There's Sarcasm by Get Scared, too! I love it!" Kailee grinned at the pirate.
"Is there any...non-disturbing songs, yoi?" Marco raised an eyebrow.
"Well, there's Burn by Red and Younger Dreams by Our Last Night. There's others, but those are two of my favorites," Kailee shrugged.
"Well, if you're gonna sing, please sing something with less...death," Ace requested.
She pouted. "No fun! Luffy gets to sing that song with all the idiots!"
"What?" Ace asked.
Kailee waved a dismissive hand. "Ah, nothing!"
"On top of the world, on top of it all, trying to feel invincible~!
Dying on top of the world~!
I remember the nights~
Caught up in dreaming my goodbyes~!
Watching the door for anything more than an ordinary life~!
I remember the days~
New beginnings on an open page~
With something to prove, and nothing to lose, not a soul to betray~!
Here I am~!
Living a dream that I can't hold~!
Here I am on my own~!
On top of the world, on top of it all, trying to feel invincible~!
I'm dying on top of the world~!
I remember the lies~!
Caught up in building paradise~!
The angels were slaves, and demons behaved, and everything was alright~!
Here I am~!
Living a dream that I can't hold~!
Here I am on my own~!
On top of the world, on top of it all, trying to feel invincible~!
On top of the world, on top of it all, trying to feel invincible~!
I'm dying on top of the world~!
I hear the crowds beneath me~!
I'm wishing they could reach me~!
But I'm on top of the world up here I'm dying alone~!
Inside the walls of gold, outside of happiness~!
(It's all been a show, too late to confess)
No room for heart and soul~!
No room for innocence, innocence~!
On top of the world, on top of it all, trying to feel invincible~!
On top of the world, on top of it all, trying to feel invincible~!
On top of the world, on top of it all, trying to feel invincible~!
I'm dying on top of the world~!
Dying on top of the world~!"
"What song was that, yoi?" Marco asked.
"On Top Of The World by Greek Fire. Ever since Ace died, this song always came to mind," the female shrugged.
"Can you please stop talking like I'm dead?" Ace sighed.
"You're supposed to be. Me burning those flags of yours changed the whole course of this world! I screwed with a timeline, now that I think about it. Wouldn't that mean I'm going to get my ass handed to me by Clockwork?" Kailee mused.
"Who's Clockwork?" Marco asked.
"My Time Bitch!" Kailee grinned.
Ace gave her a weird look. "Not going to ask, yoi," Marco muttered quietly.
"Now that I think about it, I probably should have brought my phone! I have a shit load of crap I need to show you two!" Kailee exclaimed.
"Should we even ask?" Ace grimaced.
"Oh, yes~!" She purred, eyes wide with a psychotic glint.
"Oh, no!'" Ace shuddered.
Kailee giggled. "So much fan fiction~! My eyes are tainted, my soul belongs to the Devil! You guys are so cute and fluffy~!"
"What?" Ace and Marco asked, eyeing the girl with a grin that rivaled Luffy's.
She dropped her head and looked up at them through her hair, chuckling. "The sins~! Delicious, delicious sins~!"
"KISS, DAMMIT!"
Evil laughter and two girly shrieks could be heard across the sea.
"Woah! The Moby Dick looks so much cooler in real life!" The girl squealed, leaping out of the dinghy and trying to jump aboard. Unfortunately, it was too high up for the female, so she almost fell into the ocean. Luckily, Ace caught her before she could hit the water, swinging her over his shoulder.
"Oopsie~!" Kailee giggled.
Ace sighed. "Why am I stuck dealing with you?"
"I have to deal with her, too, yoi," Marco said.
"Yeah, but she doesn't torment you every second!" Ace cried.
"The incident on the boat was enough for me," Marco shivered.
Kailee, still slung over Ace's shoulder, laughed. "Aw, come on! You guys are no fun!"
"Hey! Ace, Marco, you're back...with a kid?" Thatch stared at them weirdly.
"Meet the culprit of all our burnt flags!" Ace plopped the girl onto the deck.
Once her feet hit the boards, she jumped towards Thatch. "Hi! Your hair is so much cooler in real life!"
"Okay, despite her destroying our flags, I like her," Thatch pointed to the bouncing girl in front of him.
"Can I have some of your food?!" She squealed but yelped when the back of her hoodie was grabbed, pulling her behind a raven-haired male.
"You're coming with Marco and I. We need to talk to Pops," Ace said.
"Giant Ossan? Why now?! Let me eat first! I'm hungry!" She flailed. "Dammit, why do you have to be so muscle-y?!"
Kailee stared up at the Strongest Man in the World. "Woah! You're fucking huge!" Kailee shook her head. "That's off topic! Pineapple Head and Firefighter over here won't let me have any food! I'm starving! I haven't eaten anything in two days!"
Ace face palmed. "A firefighter puts out fires!"
Marco just glared at the girl. "Show some respect, yoi!"
"Guararara! Cheeky brat! Marco told me you were the one who shot down our flags!" Whitebeard boomed.
"Yep!" The girl pulled a slingshot, lighter, and ping-pong ball from her pocket. "I lit a ping-pong ball on fire then shot it at your flag! Really sorry about that, by the way!"
"I hear you did this to warn us of Teach? Marco told me what you said, but Teach hasn't done anything yet, and I won't be accusing any of my sons of anything until it happens," Whitebeard said.
"See, I knew you were going to say that, which is why I told Ace and Marco that you can wait, but keep an eye on the guy. Thatch doesn't need to die," Kailee replied. "At least have someone watching Thatch's back after he finds the Devil Fruit, especially at night when it's his turn for watch. That's when Teach'll strike."
Whitebeard nodded. "If that's all, Marco, Ace, please show the girl our dining hall."
"FOOD!" Kailee screeched. "Fuck yeah! Giant Banana Mustache Man is the shit!"
The female raced out of the room as Ace and Marco chased after her. "Dammit, stop! Wait up!"
The bluntness hits Ace right where it hurts a lot of times...Sometimes, it's just funny. Bye my doggies!
