Mwahaha! Guuuueeess what I put on my Fanfiction userpage...?

Soooooome TOPA Sketches!! Just scroll on down, you'll see the links!

So! Go and read! :D

As soon as we docked into Loguetown, I had one thought on my mind...

"Sugei! This place is huuuge!" And Luffy took my thoughts out of my head... which, thinking about it, can be really weird...

"I feel so tiny..." I mumbled quietly, staring up at the sign introducing the town itself to us. Granted, I wasn't the shortest member of the crew, seeing as I was a bit taller than Nami, I still felt so incredibly short and scrawny!

"Yosh!" Usopp said. "I'm going to find some cool stuff for my inventions here!"

"As long as they don't blow up the ship..." I mumbled.

"Eh? What was that, Amie-chan?" Oh crap, he heard me!

"Nothing!" I said quickly.

"I thought you said you were broke!" I blinked, looking over to Nami and Zoro. She had an evil grin on her face. "I'll be willing to lend you money, but you'll have to pay me back three times the original amount! With interest!"

I sighed at Nami, then ruffled through my purse and frowned.

Crap, I only had three-hundred belli. It's enough to buy some clothes, yes, but two katana? If they're good, then there's no way they'd be anywhere near that price.

If they did, I would be more than willing to lend Zoro my money!

"Yosh! I'm gonna go find the execution tower!" Luffy said happily, running off and laughing.

"Luffy! Wait! We haven't set a place or time to..." Usopp trailed off, sighing and slouching over. "He never listens..."

I merely grinned sadly for him. "Ah, don't feel bad, Usopp..." And I reached to give him a comforting pat on the shoulder, but I put a bit too much force in it, causing him to yelp and fall to the ground.

"Eeya!" I didn't mean for that to happen! "Usopp, I'm sorry! I forgot how strong I was for a moment!"

Usopp merely twitched. I sighed, deciding to peel Usopp off the road, shaking him and dusting him off. I grinned when it was done, and he simply stood there, blankly, as if still unconscious, with his nose slightly warped. After a moment, he fell backwards and I yelped.

"Well, I say we meet back at the ship when dinner time rolls around..." Nami said as I did all this. "If we can't find Luffy by then, we split up, going back to the ship in intervals."

"Nami-san!" Sanji swooned. "You're so smaaart!"

"I think I killed Usopp..." I muttered, picking him up and shaking him again.

Nami sighed, walking over and taking him from me. She inhaled.

"WAKE UP, YOU STUPID SHARPSHOOTER!!" She screamed, shaking him by the shoulders. I could only stare wide-eyed at the scene in front of me.After a while, I then skiddered over to the closest guy nearby, which happened to be Zoro. It was then that I proceeded to hide behind him.

Zoro didn't even look at me as he watched the scene unfold. "Scared you too?"

"A little..." I mumbled, then shivered. "I hope she never does that to me..."

Zoro snorted. "You'd probably be able to take it..." He mumbled.

I snorted. "Maybe not. Do you know how many brain cells she's killing off right now?" I said.

Zoro chuckled, reaching around and ruffling my hair. "He doesn't have much to lose, so don't worry."

"Oi! Marimo!" Sanji snapped. "Get your grubby hands off Amie-chan!"

I blinked as Zoro glared at Sanji, hand still on my head. "Make me, you stupid cook!"

They growled, and this could only spell trouble. Just as they were about to launch their attacks, I moved in-between them, blocking Sanji's kick and grasping Zoro's wrists.

"Wa!" Sanji said, quickly pulling back, almost as if he stuck his foot into a fire. "I'm sorry, Amie-chan!"

I dropped my guard, looking at both of them. "We're in a large city, with lots of people." I said calmly. "The last thing we need is you two fighting in the middle of it."

"I-am-awake-just-stop-shaking-me!" Wha...? Was Usopp awake?

I watched as Nami let go of Usopp and dusted her hands off, leaving Usopp to stand on his own and, when Nami's back was turned to him, he stuck his tongue out at her. I merely snorted at it.

"Amie-chan!" Eh? Nami?

Nami grinned, grabbing my arm. "I've decided that we'll be going clothes shopping together!" She said, dragging me off. "Come on! I hear there's this cute dress shop here!"

I paled. Dresses!?

"NO. DRESSES." I stated harshly as she continued to drag me.

Nami looked back at me. "Why not?" She asked. "I think you'd look cute in one!"

"Not the point!" I said, wriggling from her grip. "No. Dresses. They'd be a bitch to fight in!"

Nami huffed. "Fine. We won't shop together since you're being mean about it..." She then grinned. "I know your size anyway. I'll find something for you!"

"Nami!" I said, trying to stop her, but to late. With a wave, she was running off, and I sighed, slouching. That Nami... she really is like the preppy sister I never had...

I felt my lips twitch upwards into a sad smile. Sister... family...

I blinked, then shook my head. No! No sad thoughts today! Today, you're gonna be happy, dammit!

With a final nod to myself, I walked through the streets, head somewhat high, but I looked here and there to see any interesting clothes shops. There were some tiny shops that had knick-knacks for sale, which seemed cute. There were some that sold jewelry, though I had no money to afford it even.

I stopped in front of one window, though, seeing a cool jacket. It was black, with a hood, and it looked like some kind of cloth. I looked down, and smiled. And it was in my price range! Sweet! Hoodie replacement, meet your new ownah!

Stepping into the shop, I saw a few other cool clothes, real cheap too. Even some shoes, since I only had boots. I picked out my hoodie-jacket, of course, some tee shirts, tank tops, some shorts, capris, and this one pair of sandals that seemed to go with all of it. I also got some sweaters and a winter jacket in case we went somewhere cold. I went to the cashier, putting all this stuff on the counter, and then I saw these cute chokers. For some odd reason, I've always liked chokers. I saw a simple black one, and tested it. It fit, and I added it to the rest of the stuff.

And I was thankful that I had good luck today: After all that, I had about fifty belli left, which was kind of shocking, but hey, I'm not complaining!

I asked the clerk if they'd mind me changing into one of the outfits now, and he let me use the dressing room, helping me with the tags and stuff. I decided to wear a pair blue jean-capris, a gray tee shirt, that showed only an inch of my stomach, my sandals, my choker, and my hoodie-jacket. I made sure my necklace was out from under my shirt, and with all that done, I left, grinning happily. I had rolled the sleeves of my jacket up so they went to my elbow, and all-in-all, I think Nami would be proud.

"Amie-chan!?" Oo... speaking of the devil!

I grinned, turning towards her. "Well? What do you think?"

She put her large bag down momentarily, eyeing me up and down. She then grinned, giving me a thumbs-up. "I approve!"

I felt my grin broaden. "Yeah, it was all pretty cheap with what money I had!" I said, putting a hand on the back of my head.

Nami giggled. "Come on! I wanna stop somewhere to show you the dress I got you..."

"Dress!? Nami, I told you I didn't want one!" I said.

Nami stuck her tongue out. "Too bad. It cost a lot, so I want you to wear it the whole day tomorrow!" She said, turning and walking. After a bit, she turned, grinned, and motioned for me to follow her. I sighed, catching up with her as we walked down the streets together.

"So, have you ran into the others yet?" Nami asked.

I shook my head. "No. I haven't." I said simply.

Nami sighed. "I wondered what they're up to..."

I nodded, humming in agreement. I was curious myself as to what everyone was doing.

I could guess, though...

Sanji was looking for food and flirting with women...

Zoro was trying to find dirt-cheap katana...

Usopp was getting some random stuff for his great adventure, which I hope he won't blow the ship up with...

And Luffy was probably lost trying to find the gallows...

I gasped as I felt my shoulder being shoved, and I stumbled a bit.

"Oi! Watch it, will ya!?" They shouted.

I growled, eye twitching. "Stupid rude buggers..." I muttered.

"I wonder where they're going..." Nami muttered in curiosity.

"Hurry, hurry! Daddy the Father's gonna challenge someone!"

I turned and watched the person run off, and I felt confused.

"Daddy the Father...?" I muttered.

Nami blinked in shock. "Daddy the Father? Who in their right mind would do that!?" She asked. "Well, let's go see!"

We followed the crowd, and I still felt confused.

"Nami, who is Daddy the Father?" I asked.

Nami turned to me. "Daddy the Father is the best gun toting bounty hunter! He's famous! I'm surprised you haven't heard of him!"

"Really? The best?" I asked.

"Yeah!" Nami said, pausing to hide her stuff somewhere. She took mine and hid it too, dragging me by the arm through the crowd. "But honestly, is there no common sense in the East Blue!? I wonder what kind of idiot would want to fight someone like him!"

When we reached the front of the crowd, she paused, gasping. "Ah... that kind..."

"Eh? What kind, Nami?" I asked, pushing myself to stand next to her, and I blinked. There was a tall man in a tan cloak with a large hat on his head, a little girl in the frilliest dress I've ever seen...

... and Usopp.

Oh dear...

"Well, Nami..." I said silently. "It's our kind of idiot, after all..."
