Lana walked on the deck of her ship staring into the daylight. She had a notepad in one hand and a pen in the other.
She started to write something but tore it out and crumbled it up.
Lana: Damn it! Why can't I write a damn decent song!
She threw the paperball overboard. A boy about Lana's age with blond hair and a blue shirt and pants came running towards her.
Boy: Lana!
Lana: What Jose...
Jose: The captain want's you!
Lana: For what?
Jose: I have nada clue.
Lana: Where is he?
Jose: On the other side of the deck.
Lana: (sighing) Such a long walk.
She started to goto her captain. 15 minutes later she found him leaning on a rail.
Captain: You made it finally.
Lana: Yes. What's up?
He turned around but didn't say anything. A small chill went down Lana's back.
Captain: I need you to do me a favor.
Lana: What favor?
Captain: I need you to goto Tanny Island and pick something up for me.
A huge chill ran down Lana's spine. Everytime he said 'pick something up for me' that meant kill someone.
Lana: But why me? Don't you have Dawn? Or Dogen?
Captain: Yes but your my top assassain and this man is tough.
She gulped. The captain snickered slightly at her obvious discomfort.
Captain: Don't worry about it.
Lana: Who is he?
Captain: His name is Tayayo.
Lana: I hate killing people! Why do I have to do it Captain Tokin?
Tokin stared at Lana and then started to circle her. Lana grew very nervous and so many chills ran up and down her spine that it felt like her back was frozen.
Tokin: You remember our little deal?
Lana: Yes.
Tokin: And in that deal I was supposed to treat you well and train you right?
Lana: Yes.
Tokin: Yes. Training you to be an assassain. And as an assassain you must kill your given target right?
Lana: Yes.
Tokin: And you know what happens when you don't keep your end of the deal right?
Lana looked down. Tokin unseathed his sword and held it against her check. She panicked even more.
Tokin: If you don't keep your end of the deal...you'll end up like your poor dead brother.
She backed away and stared at his face with fear in her eyes. Tokin laughed and walked away. When he was gone she started to cry.
Lana: (sobbing) Oh Luffy! Why am I in this hellhole?
Jose came over to her.
Lana: Leave me alone!
Jose: What is wrong?
Lana: Your damn father!
Jose: Another job huh?
Lana: Yes.
He touched her hand but she quickly pulled it back.
Lana: Go away.
Jose: Why do you treat me so? I try to be a friend to you and you treat me like dirt.
Lana looked at him. He had saddness in his eyes but didn't want to show it.
Lana: Because you are the son of the devil.
Jose: But I am not like him! Can't you tell?
Lana: The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
Jose: Your hurting my feelings.
Lana: (sarcastically) Aww. Your breaking my heart.
She immediately wished she didn't say that. Jose was deeply hurt by the remark.
Lana: I'm sorry... I didn't mean to push you away. I'm just upset. That rat left my brother for dead.
Jose: It's ok. I wish he wasn't my father. He's an evil man. What woman would like him enough to have me?
Lana chuckled.
Jose: Is that a smile I see? Out of all these years of being with me, I finally make you smile?
Lana: No!
Jose: Oh yes! I have made a breakthrough!
Lana: Shut up and go away!
Jose: You'll except my feelings for you one of these days! I can feel it!
Lana: Yeah when hell freezes over. Twice.
Jose: (leaving) Mark my words Lana! One day you'll love me back! Remember the more you turn me down, the more attracted I am to you!
She snickered.
Lana: What a boob. He tried over and over again to win my affection. When will he ever learn? Such an idiot. He'll never give up.
Jose: I heard that!
Lana: So what! Your a boob you love-sick puppy! Wait. Love-sick puppy... that will make a perfect song!
She got out her notepad and started to write down the lyrics.
Lana: I'll thank him later.

Ussop: What are we waiting for?
Luffy: Did the wind change yet?
Nami irritably stuck her hand over the rail of the pier.
Nami: No. Stop asking me! It'll probably be all night.
Luffy: But what if we don't have that long?
Zolo: May I ask what's going on?
Nami: Mind your beeswax.
Zolo stuck his tounge at her.
Luffy: Should I tell them?
Sanji: Tell us what?
Luffy: Ok. Listen up. You may not of known, but I have a twin sister.
Ussop, Sanji, Zolo: You what?
Nami: It's true.
Ussop: Are we waiting for her here?
Luffy: No. Nami said she saw her back at the other island.
Sanji: Your saying that she looks almost exactly like you?
Luffy: Basiclly.
Zolo: That would be scary.
Sanji: Is she cute?
Zolo: Apply a girl that would look like him.
Sanji: Oh. So is she cute?
Luffy: I'm about to find out.
Ussop: How did ya'll get seperated?
Nami: I'd like to know too.
Luffy: It's a rather painful experience that I would not like to share.
Everyone: Please?
Luffy: No.
Everyone: Please!
Luffy: I said NO!
Sanji: Well damn.
Luffy: Sorry. I'll tell you. It happened when we were about 6...
Flashback:
Mother: Ah! You've gotten much better since last week!
Lana: Thanks mama! I've been trainig with the best!
Mother: Alright, once more and then were through ok?
Lana: Ok!
Her mother took a ball from a basket and threw it rapidly at the blindfolded girl. Lana took her whip and quickly sliced the ball in half.
Mother: Perfect halves!
Lana: Yes! I can't wait to tell daddy and Luffy!
She took off her blindfold and raced outside.
Lana: Luffy! Guess what?
Luffy: You gonna give me the money you owe me?
Lana: Huh? Anyway I split the ball in perfect halves while blindfolded this time!
Luffy: Well you have been practicing the art of a whip since you've been 2.
Lana: Yup. I'm finally almost as good as Mama!
Luffy: Congrats. Dad'll be sooooo proud.
Lana: I wish he didn't have to work.
Luffy: That reminds me. Are you singing tonight? We could really use the money!
Lana: We're 6.
Luffy: So? I've got needs.
Lana: Ok. For you I'll sing. Only if you erase my debts.
Luffy: It's a deal!
Mother: Lana! Luffy!
Luffy and Lana: Yes mama?
Mother: I need you to go to the center and drop off this package.
Luffy: Ok! Tia doshi Tiaha?
Lana: Doshi Toki!
Luffy: Let's go then!
They started to walk down to the center.
Luffy: So. Who are you gonna visit?
Lana: Lil Nana! He's so cute!
Luffy: I agree. Oh no!
Lana: What?
Luffy: I forgot the cookie!
Lana: I bet there is some in the package.
Luffy: Wanna stop by the pier?
Lana: I guess it wouldn't hurt.
End Flashback.
