"So I guess you figured it out who I am then," Rinoa said as she blew some of her fringe out of her eye, "I thought that I was going to have to come look for you, so you became a pirate after all huh?"

"Yeah I did! And I'm the captain of my crew!" Luffy said grinning

"Captain Monkey D. Luffy," Rinoa tested, "Yeah sounds alright,"

"So what happened to ya Rinny?" Luffy asked before jumping on the bench and sitting down on it.

Rinoa glared half heartedly, down at him, "What happened to me?" She asked, "More like what happened to you. I'm not the one who ran off,"

"Hey!" Luffy said looking at her, "I didn't run off, I walked off. You were there remember?" He looked at her as if Rinoa had three heads.

Rinoa sweat dropped and fell to the ground, hoping that her skirt hadn't come up, "That's not the point, Luffy. You go off for how many years now,"

"Nine," Luffy offered as he started to rock backwards and forwards on the chair.

"And not a word or a single letter from you! Nothing! For all I knew, you could have died and for a while that's what I thought that's what had happened to you!" Rinoa said stretching her legs out in front of her. That felt good getting it all off of her chest like this but from the look on Luffy's face he was humming a song in his head waiting for her to stop.

"You still play music?" Luffy said. Yep he had been humming a song in his head waiting for her to stop.

Crossing her legs, Rinoa couldn't bring herself to get mad at her old best friend, "Yes," Rinoa sighed as she looked up at the sky.

Luffy stopped rocking and a huge grin appeared on his face, "I know what you can be!" Luffy shouted, scaring a few birds, as he stood up. His eyes glittered with excitement

"Oh no,"

"Oh yes! You can be my musician! I always wanted one for my crew and now I have one, you still play the flute, 'cos you were the best out of the whole village at playing the flute and how old were you? Like six or something like that, I can't remember," Luffy blabbered on before standing up suddenly, "You have to meet the rest of the crew!"

"I met them yesterday," Rinoa said as Luffy dragged her to her feet and started pulling her out of the park.

"Yeah but not properly! I mean, Zoro is really lazy sometimes, he just falls asleep anywhere! And Sanji, well Nami says he's a skirt chaser or something like that. Nami loves Beli!" Luffy said as he dragged Rinoa towards the dock

Luffy told her all about his crew and Rinoa guessed, her new friends. By the time they had reached the docks, Rinoa was jogging next to Luffy, smiling slightly.

Smoothing out her skirt, Rinoa looked up at the ship while Luffy looked at his stomach, "Must be about lunch time, I can't wait, Sanji's food is great, you'll love it!" Luffy said, "And he makes the best meat ever!"

"You still love meat huh?" Rinoa asked looked at Luffy for a moment while he nodded at her. Rinoa could almost see his thoughts.

Meat, meat, meat, meat, meat.

Rinoa looked away to look over at the ocean. It was so pretty yet so dangerous to her. Once she was completely covered in sea water, she was paralyzed until she dried off. And then there was seastone…

"You coming up!" Luffy yelled from the top of the boat. Rinoa looked at him, annoyed.

"Luffy!" She shouted, "You could have waited for me, you barstard!" She picked up a tiny rock from the ground and pegged it at him. It missed of course but only by a little. She looked around trying to find where he had gotten up from but she couldn't find a way. Rinoa picked up another rock and chucked it at Luffy this time it hit its mark.

"Ow! Hey what was that for!" Luffy said rubbing his head where the rock had hit him.

"How am I supposed to get up!"

"Oh yeah…" Rinoa sweat dropped again, "Hold up your bag!" Rinoa held it up as Luffy stretched his arms and grabbed it.

Rinoa realized how Luffy was going to get her up onto the boat. Hope the guys had a nice view!

"Kay Rinny! Your turn!" Oh hell no!

Rinoa squatted down and placed her right hand on the ground before getting ready to jump.

Pushing herself from the ground, Rinoa jumped and grabbed onto the edge of the Merry Go. Pushing herself up onto the edge she sat while Luffy was wide eyed, "I didn't know that you could do that! When did you learn to do that?" Rinoa's hand flew to the top of her chest, and clutched her shirt.

"I learnt that a while back," Rinoa whispered, bringing her legs over the side so she could hop down.

Luffy was already tottering away at the smell of meat being cooked. Mmmmm, it did smell good. Before Rinoa knew it, she was following Luffy, stomach growling from having no breakfast.
