Chapter 11 – Joshua and flashback
As I got out of the room, Nami was waiting outside the room.
"Nee, Mykes" said Nami. "Can you help me with something?" she said and looked at me, then added "I see your bangs are getting in the way"
"Yes, I was thinking to ask for some help from you." I said to her. "Maybe I should let my hair longer?" I suggested.
She nodded and said "I like the way you choose your clothes. It looks good on you" she said and smiled.
"T-Thanks, Nami" I said and honestly hearing from her that I looked good really meant something to me. It's not that I'm lesbian or something, but I really admire her. I really do. She's like a bigger sister to me. The same goes for Robin and the others. Well, except for Zoro. I don't think that I want him as a brother, do I?
"Wait" I said to her. "I need to recharge the batteries for my computer." I said. "Where is the safest spot?" I asked her knowing the people from this ship.
"Next to my mikan trees" she said and we went there to let Pixie recharge(A/N that's the computer's name :P)
As I followed Nami to the library, I saw that Zoro was resting on the deck. Thank God! And Luffy, Ussop, Chopper and Brook were fishing.
"Oooooooooyyyy!" I heard Luffy yelling. "There's something big!" he yelled as Ussop, Brook and Chopper looked over to where he was pointing. "Maybe is a big fish!" said Luffy starting to imagine a huge cooked fish.
Luffy streched his head over to the thing. When I saw what he had done I grabbed my neck with both my hand. I mean I saw him streching his hands, but head?! Trust me -that's creepy.
"Oy! There's a man" yelled Luffy from over there. He came back with his head and stretched his hand over there to grab the said man. He continued talking "He's on some sort of wood. It's not a boat. He's sleeping!" he added.
"Don't Luffy!" said Nami.
"What if it's a trap?" asked the of-so-negative-Ussop.
"Aye, Luffy" said Chopper.
"Maybe he's dead" add the dark Robin.
But by then the man was already on the ship.
"Is he injured?" asked Franky. Who came on the deck with- guess who? Robin.
"Maybe he's lost" added Ussop.
"what if he's going to turn on some sort of monster?" asked Brook, out of the blue.
I started laughing and said "Monster?!"*haha* "have you ever looked in a mirror?" I added. By then Nami said to Chopper, which was panicking and searching for a doctor, that he's the doctor.
"Ussop" said Chopper to Ussop "Go and tell Sanji to make some food." and Chopper changed in his human form to carry the stranger to his room.
As he passed me I saw that the man was a muscular one. Had brown hair and seemed starved. But he was good looking. Even in this state, trust me.
I ignored the though and I continued going with Nami to the library. I looked over to Zoro, just in time to see him closing his eyes. So he was sleeping. That's good to hear.
I remember that Nami wanted me to help her with something. I started talking to Nami. It seemed that she wanted me to tell her about my world.
"So how was your mom?" she asked really excited.
"Mm, she was really beautiful. Wait, you should remember me later to show you a picture of her. Pixie has one" I said remembering that I do have photos. "She's kind, intelligent, always willing to help" and I started laughing remembering
~Flash back~
"Elisabeth-sama" whined Kai, one of the servants. "That's our job to do" he said scolding her for cleaning the house.
"I'm sorry, but I'm getting bored" she said to him. And she poutted.
"No, you should go and paint or read a book" he said getting back at scolding her.
"But..." she said but was cut off by Kai.
"No buts. You should go and paint a present for your cousin's birthday. It's next week and she like your paintings" he added being happy about convincing her to stop working.
"N-Next week?" she asked surprised. "Then I should go" she said and ran toward the door, but stopped suddenly. She turned around to see Kai and asked "what should I paint?"
He seemed to think for a while "You visited the Grand Canyons a few weeks ago. How about to picture them?" he suggested.
"That sounds great" she added and ran toward her room.
Kai sighed and sit himself to rest, since he was old.
I remember watching all this from a door, since the room had 3 doors. And I was amused by my mom.
"Kai?" I asked for him.
"Myka-san" he said. "Your lesson's are over?" he asked me.
I nodded. "I just want a cookie" I said.
He got up and lend me his hand to go to kitchens. When we got outside the room, one of the youngest servants, Joshua came by. He was really handsome and was always treating me like a princess.
"Hi there beauty!" he said to me.
"Joshua!" I said to him as I went at him for a hug. "What are you doing? Where were you? I've been looking for you, but I didn't asked anyone. Are you leaving? No-no-no where were you those last days?You're not teaching me anymore?" I asked him. Since I haven't seen him for a while. And our piano lessons were out since he was 'missing.'
"Not so many question" he said and laughed, then added"Sorry, but I'm going to college. And I can come here only after classes." he said. "But I'll have time to teach you piano lessons."
"Kai" I said to the older one. "Go get some rest. I'll go with Joshua." I said as I got away from Josh and give a hug to the old man. "See you later" I said as I grabbed Joshua's hand and ran toward the kitchen.
"What are you studying?" I asked him..
"I'm on med school so I can treat little beautiful princesses, just like you" he said looking at me and winked.
"But I tough that you finished school" I said confused to him.
"I did and I wanted to enter ther college. But the taxes were to much for me so I had to give up. In order to finish the school I had to work and get some money. I talked to your daddy and he's helping me to finish my studies." he said. " He said that I should finish my studies sooner"
"Daddy? Mm that's great!" I said to him."Oh, guess what Josh"
"What?" he said to me.
"I started physics yesterday" I said grinning.
"Oh, that's good to hear. But you're only 9. How is it? Do you like it?" he asked happy.
"Like it?! I love it! I mean it's amazing dude! Did you knew that light travels faster than the sound?" I asked really excited.
"Really?" he asked. "Oh, we arrived." he said and opened the door to the kitchen. "Hi Stella. Our little princess is hungry." he said as he put me on the chair.
"Hi Stella" I said to the older woman.
"Hello, Myka-san, Joshua-kun. What can I get for you?"
"Cookies!" I said.
"I want just a soda" said Joshua a bit sad. But I decided to talk to him later.
Joshua took the cookies and had the plate in his hands and said to me on a dark creepy voice that was supposed to scare me "Come to the dark side. We have... cookies!" he said and I started laughing.
My laugh was filling the room and Stella giggled at our actions.
"Let's go outside" I said to Josh. "The weather is great."
"Where are we heading to?" Joshua asked.
"To our place, of course" I said like it was the obvious thing ever. "Sorry, Stella, but I have to go" I said to the elder woman. When I saw that she looked the other way I took the entire plate with cookies she said "Bring her back in time for lunch" she said.
"Okay, see you later" Joshua said and we left.
Our place was actually under a big tree in the garden. I could see the entire house and who's coming or leaving the house, without being seen.
"Joshua" I said to him.
"Mm?" he said faking a smile.
"Why are you sad? What happened? Is there something wrong?" I asked worried about him.
"No, there's nothing you can't fix" and he smiled. But wasn't fake.
"So there is something?" I asked him.
"...Yes."
"What?" I waited for details.
"Do you remember Charlotte?" he said sad.
"Oh, that one? Wasn't she like your girlfriend or something?"
"Yes, she was."
"So she hurt you? Did she said something to you?" I interrupted him.
"Well, she doesn't love me the way I though she does..." he said and started smiling at my questions.
"So you're not going to marry her?" I asked her.
"... no" he said on a low voice as he looked at the ground.
"Great! Perfect! I didn't like her. I heard her talking on the phone with someone and she said something about me being a beach... She's stupid. Do I look like a sea or something?! I'm happy that she's not here anymore."
"No, maybe you misunderstood" he said and started laughing. At that time I didn't knew what a 'bitch' meant and I though that I was compared to a beach.
"So why did she left?" I asked curious. "She said something bad to you, isn't it?" I asked really sure that it was all her fault.
"Well, she said that her fiancee is a lawyer and I'm not worth for her." he said sad with heart broken.
When I realized that he was really sad I decided that he needs to be happy.
"If she said that I'm a beach then she's a... a... spider!" I came with the idea. "She has black hair and long nails and she's always having this face" I said as I grimaced my face.
And we both started laughing. "What if she lives in a dark castle? And has spider-servants? And maybe her food is stored in webs?"
We started laughing so hard.
~end of flashback~
"And that's all I remember from that day." I said to Nami as I recalled every detail of that time.
"You seemed like you had fun" said Nami. "What happened to Joshua?" she said
"Oh" I said smilling. "He finished the college and in the mean time got married. He has a daugther called Myka- just like me, because he said that he wanted a princess like me."
"That's cute" said Nami. "You were so good friends."
"Yes, and I'm happy about him. God I had so much fun back then!" I said remembering all the things I said about Charlotte.
"Meat!" I heard Luffy yelling.
"I think it's time to go get lunch" said Nami.
"Yes, I suppose." I replied and I laughed.
That was the 'bell' to go get to the kitchen.
On our way to the kitchen I kept on talking with Nami.
"Did he lived at your house?"she asked me.
"Yes, because the house was huge. And by huge I mean damn huge mansion. It had over 50 rooms."
"But how he ended up at your home? What's the story?" she continued with the question.
"I don't remember. He was there like always. But from what I learned later he's an orphan. And he was taking a job at our mansion and one day I saw him playing the piano. And I asked daddy if Josh could teach me. So dad got to talk to him and found out about him. Since then, he was living with us and we were like a family. " I explained.
"But didn't he had to go to school? Or something?" she asked me.
"Well, he lived with us, but he went to a normal school. When he turned 18 he was already starting the med school."
After a brief pause she asked: "Do you love him?"
"Mm - if I was on the same age as him I would probably marry him with no second thought" I said and smiled at the idea.
"How did he looked like?" she asked really curious. "I just found out he was good looking, intelligent, a teacher and your best friend." she was making a mental note of data.
"Well, something like... Zoro, perhaps?" I said as I opened the door to the kitchen.
As we entered Franky said "What about Zoro? Is he suuuper or something?" And I started to laugh along with Nami.
"No, he just reminds me of someone back home. Except the fact that he is 12 years older than me and has much more manniers than this Grumpy." I said to myself.
"Who's Grumpy?" asked Luffy. "Can I meet him?"
As I took a seat at the table I said. "Luffy, let me introduce you to – Grumpy!" I said as I pointed to Zoro. "Grumpy, meet Luffy" I said all theatetrical as I introduced Zoro to Luffy.
Ussop, Franky Brook and even Robin started to laugh.
"Where is it? Behind Zoro?" asked Luffy as he tried to look behind the said man and eat in the same time.
Zoro was boiling in his chair.
"Myka-chan – here's your plate!" sanged Sanji.
I ignored the cook as I was face-palming at Luffy's stupidity.
"No, Luffy. Zoro's Grumpy" I explained to him.
"Oh, so that's how it is? Oy, Zoro, I didn't knew you were grumpy. Why didn't you tell me? I'm your captain." Luffy scolded Zoro.
"I'M NOT GRUMPY!" said a oh-so-angry-Zoro as we all started to laugh harder that before.
"Yohohoho Zoro-san! Don't go so harsh on others" said Brook.
"Oy, Luffy! Don't steal my food!" said Ussop with a vein popping at his head.
And from then on everyone went back at being themselves. But I need to mention Sanji and Brook making fun of Zoro.
When I saw that Sanji's mocking was going on a bad road I said:
"Sanji, where's Chopper?"
"He's taking care of the stranger."
"Oh" I said as I remembered the man from earlier. I totally forgot about him. "I'm done eating. I'll go and bring Chopper some food." I said as I got up and went toward Sanji to take Chopper's food.
"Oh, you're so kind" started Sanji.
"Yes, to Chopper." I pointed realizing what Sanji's word meant in his tiny world.
As I took the plate I leaved.
"I'm going to check on Chopper and bring him some food." I said to no one. I just said it before I got outside.
I was really missing Joshua and his smile. I hope he's fine. Not to mention Kyle...
As I got to Chopper's room I knocked on the door and I opened.
A/N Hey guys! I really made a longer chapter :D Yey! I'm happy it turned out like this. I just wanted to share with you a part of Myka's past.
I just wanted to write a longer chapter, as a surprise and this doesn't mean that I'm not going to publish for a while, cause actually I'm planning on updating Tuesday or Wednesday. So, on the next chapter, the stranger is revealed and by then I'll bring the Pirates of Carribean movie 2 and Straw Hats's impression for the movie.
Thank you for your reviews! It really means a lot to me :D *hug*
Oh! Feel free to ask me anything :) On PM or here, but probably here so everyone can see and I won't be put in the situation to asnwer the same question twice :)
As you can see on my profile, I put Myke's tattoo :) and I've made it shorter. By the way, when I'll finish this story(but I'm not planning that too soon) I'll make a Death Note Fanfiction and after that Katekyo hitman Reborn FF and perhaps a Fairy Tail one. The next chapter will have so much fun! I can't wait to write it! Wait! I've already started it :P
See you guys on the next chapter!
