I'm BACK! Anyway, I have to say that the month I was there was pretty interesting (I didn't write cause I was trying to get through the time-zone logic of day there is night here). I have to point out to people who read my other fics that the Rick in this fan fiction (blue haired) is not the same as the Rick in my other story, GET THAT RED BOOK! (He has red hair). I just like the name Rick, okay?

Rick: Meeting Nami

Rick's POV

I woke up in six o' clock in the morning, startled because of a dream I had the previous night. It was all too vivid and haunting. It was of my parents. I try and rethink what I dreamt to ease my mind, knowing how my life was changed forever in that incident.

"Mommy, why can't we do training today?" I asked my mommy after throwing some kunai and shuriken for practice. I've been training since I could remember with mommy and daddy. We've been doing it for a long time and I want to continue, despite the rest of my daddy's family's complaints about it. After all, a ninja can't be strong without training.

"Dear, mommy and daddy have to go somewhere. We'll be back as soon as possible. Now hide in you're room and turn off all the lights, okay?" mommy asked me. "Try and sleep tonight, okay sweetie?"

"Okay, mommy," I said as I hugged her and said my goodnight. Mommy kissed me goodnight and tucked me in. As I was about to fall to a sleep I heard mommy crying as she and daddy went away, disappearing into the shadows.

That was all that I remember from my dream. I remembered that in my life that was the last moment I saw my parents. I couldn't believe the next day to that one how fate took them away from me. "IT'S NOT FAIR!" I thought out loud in rage as I took out a kunai and threw it into the wooden wall of the shed, waking up the chickens in the coop next door.

I remembered that I was now living on a farm in Forget-Me-Not Valley and think of my life here and leave my past behind. I got up and dressed back in my street clothes, placing a few kunai in a pouch and went outside to do the chores first. Last night, before Jack and me went to sleep, we played a game of Jan ken to see who does the chores first. Naturally, I lost.

After a couple of hours of doing chores, I decided to find this Nami I heard and thought of so much about. Seeing Jack coming out of the house and ready to flirt with the three available girls, I hid in the shadows of the Inn waiting for the girl of my dreams to come out. "Ignorant guinea pig," I think to myself as Jack carries three bouquets.

Nami's POV

I got out of my bed; ready to face the new day ahead of me. Not that it would be any different from yesterday, anyway. I don't even remember why I remain to stay in this boring valley. After a whole year of being here, I thought that something more interesting would pop out of the shadows by now. Well this winter, I'm definitely going to leave this boring place and move on.

I walk out of the house, looking for something to do, walking my normal routine. All of a sudden, this brunet comes out of nowhere and yells, "Hello, good looking! My name's Jack! What's your name?" I turn around to see this brown-haired farmer carrying a bouquet, offering it to me as he did to Celia and Muffy who was right behind him all praising him. I take the bunch of flowers and look at it for a moment. I said to him, "There's no Trick Blues." Jack smiles and said, "Babe, no one likes Trick Blues. They're only for-"

Before he could finish, I threw the flowers to the ground and stepped on it. This startled Jack, Muffy, and even Celia. I bet that Jack was really hurt, but I didn't care. If the flowers weren't the ones I like, which I have a reason to hate all but one type, they must perish. I then went to the Inn's side and grabbed some oil on the side. I poured it on the stomped bouquet, watching as it got soaked enough in the solution. Finally, I took out a match in my pocket and lit it, then dropping it onto the flowers as I watched it burn, bringing my mind to ease.

"Fat Butt! I was trying to be nice to you! If you don't want to be nice to me, then fine!" he said as he walked in the opposite direction, obviously pissed. "Fat butt? Was all that he could think of? That was pathetic," I thought as I walked away to Lumina's, where I would listen to her play the piano then either visit Gustafa or Cody.

Back to Rick's POV

I watched the whole seen from the shadows of the Inn, which was truly interesting. This incredible angel who had all that I imagined (except for the beanie) actually was this Nami girl I was hoping for. It surprised me that she burned every single flower that Jack gave her, since he put NEARLY every flower one can find in the valley into that. I then came with the conclusion that the only flower that she liked was the same as me, but first I have to find a substitute. I then see her coming back to the Inn a few minutes later, talking to Rock as the blond kid was talking to her with a human statue in his hand.

"Hey Nami! I found a human statue! Isn't it neat? It's just like the ones you like!" he said as she passed by. She said nothing, but I can tell just by looking that she liked what Rock showed her. I decided to try and find something similar and give it to her, thus disappearing back deeper into the shadows back into my shed. There, I scavenged through my stuff, until I finally found something to give her.

Back to Nami's POV

After walking for about a good twelve hours, I decided to go back to the Inn to get some dinner from Ruby. All I could think about was what to do for the next day, since nothing was really interesting in this valley. Making that Jack guy feel miserable was entertaining and all, but in reality that was one-time. 'What am I going to do now?' I thought.

Suddenly, a dark figure with blue hair leaped out from the trees and lands on the ground. He was wearing normal street clothes and had a kunai bag strapped onto his leg. "If you're trying to look cool, it's not working," I told him in a scolding face. All he did was lightly smiled and told me, "Miss, if I was going to impress you, I wouldn't have done something that would've made me look immature." Although I never saw him before, he seemed familiar, as if I seen him from somewhere.

"Oh yeah, why didn't you greeted me yesterday?" he asked as he took out a kunai and started polishing it. It was then I remembered that he was the guy I spotted yesterday next to that creepy Jack-guy. I made a harsh face and was about to enter the Inn, when I saw him took out a human statue out of his pocket and placed it in my hands. It was one of those you'd expect to cost a good price in the market, since it clearly was old and fragile. He told me, "Keep it. I have too many anyway." I had nothing to say, except, "I didn't ask for it, but thanks." Before I opened the door, he told me, "Oh, and before you ask me what my name is; it's Rick." After that, he disappeared into the shadows. I placed the human statue into my pocket and went upstairs.

When I went into my room, I took out my diary and wrote Jack and this Rick guy's name in it. In Jack's, I wrote swear words and a green heart. This relieved me of stress, since it was the nerve of that guy to think that he can win me over with mere flowers like somekind of schoolgirl. Then I turned the page and wrote RICK in large, bold words.

I was about to write a green heart, when I remembered what my mom told me, before she passed away: "If someone likes you for who you are, and you like them the same way, then you'll know that you're in love."

I didn't think that this Rick was all that hot, but he was nice (or at least polite) enough to drool over me like Jack. Also, he didn't think I was like anything of Celia or, to my nightmares, Muffy. Without thinking, I drew a red heart in the blank and closed the book.

'What the heck am I doing?' I thought to myself after that action. 'I barely know the guy and I'm thinking of him as a friend. A traveler like myself never sticks too close to someone.' I turned off the lights and went into my bed, thinking out loud, "One heart is all that he is getting."

FINALLY I FINISHED TYPING! Listen people, I suck when I comes to drama. I suck when it comes to 'no comedy.' If you think that this seems bad or Nami seems out of character, then don't blame me. This is my first time doing something like this.
