A/N: Well, two one-shots in one night :3 Makes me happy.
SOOOOO I have a little wish to make as welllllll. There's something that I need you all to do, and I realllllllllly hope you're willing to oblige. I'm in a contest on another site called "Figment". On this site, I post some of my other non-fanfiction related work. And the one that's in the contest is only 2 minutes long. If you could all be super-fantastic-amazing-crazily-wonderful-and-superb readers, and go to the site, make an account, read and "heart" my story, I'd be SOOOOOOOOOO grateful. Making the account costs nothing, and after you've created it you can basically let the account sit if you don't feel like using it. But there are some other really good writers on there... but I'd prefer it if you like MY story :3
BY THE WAY the story's called "Sorry".

Otherwise, I hope you enjoy, and I'll update as soon as I can!
Of Wishes
She had her eyes shut tightly. So tightly that they were all wrinkly. Her hands were clasping a small clock, the time reading 11:11, and her hair cascaded down, falling away from her as she bent her head to rest it against the face of the clock.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"Making a wish, so shhh," she hushed me.
"Shishishi, what are you wishing for?"
"I'm not telling, so shh," she told me.
"You always say that," I pouted. "Why are you making a wish now?"
"Because it's the eleventh minute of the eleventh hour, of the eleventh day of the eleventh month in the eleventh year. This won't happen for another hundred years, Luffy."
"Does it mean something?" I asked, crouching down and looking at the clock.
"It's special."
"So it's a mysterious thing…" I thought aloud.
She glared at me, "What are you doing here anyway?"
"To see you!" I told her. Her face softened, "And Franky sent me."
"What does Franky want?"
"He says he just remembered he never changed the time on your clock."
"Changed the time…?"
"Mm. Something about saving time. I was hungry so I wasn't listening."
"Saving the time? Daylight Savings?"
"YEAH! That's it. Daylight Savings," I shrugged. "He said it happened days ago."
"It's –wait, so what time is it really?"
"I don't know," I shrugged again.
"Do you mean I missed the eleventh minute of the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of the eleventh year?"
"I don't know?" I tilted my head to look at her. "But hey! Nami! It gets darker out later, so we can play for longer!"
"That's right! Thank goodness," her shoulders sagged with relief. "I still have an entire hour to make the wish."
"That's good!" I told her.
We played cards. Go Sea King. I looked at the clock, surprised to see how much time had gone by. Nami had reset it, but now the time read 11:10.
"Nami, wake up! The mystery time is coming!"
She only murmured something in reply.
I watched as the time changed to 11:11. "Nami! Wake up! Make a wish!"
"Tired," she murmured.
I frowned, but ran the back of my hand against her cheek softly. I sighed, then smiled.
"Well, whatever your wish is, I'll make sure it comes true."
