Nami's POV
That got them. They didn't answer for a few minutes, but then Jack said, "Nami, I understand how you feel. I used to be afraid of swimming, or any activities with women, but look at me. Come on. I promise I won't do anything." He said, and grabbed my hand. Looking at him made me remember when Josh died his hair, and acted as a man I fell deeply in love with.
-Flashback-
"Hi, I'm looking for a room, do you have any open?" I asked the man behind the counter of the hotel. "Yes. Well, the suite is currently vacant, but, a man visits and stays there, do you mind?" he asked me. "Not at all." I said. 'I can't believe how easily they let me run away with Sara.' I thought to myself. "Sara, come here." I said to my three year old sister. "Okay." She said, and ran over to me. "Is Josh coming?" she asked me. I stopped. "Never think of that man." I said, getting down so we could see eye-to-eye. "Okay." Sara said, taking a step back. "Hey, Nami! Look, a cute guy!" she cried, seeing a man with deep black hair, and stunning green eyes. It was love at first sight for me. But, he had his eyes on Sara.

Nami's POV
Now, I was still unsure of jack, but I allowed him to grab my hand, but then, Jack pulled me in! Then, he lied about it. But, I saw Muffy laughing, so I pushed her in.
I looked hard into Muffy's eyes, and knew immediately she was the one who pushed me in. I looked hard into Jack's eyes, and knew that he had feelings for me, and he wasn't Josh. Too bad his feelings could never be returned.
"Why don't you swim with boys?" asked Muffy. "My brother, Josh, might be that boy, and try to….never mind about what he'll try to do." I explained. "Okay, Josh? I've heard that name before. Yeah, he's coming to town." She said, trying to act all tough. "What?" I screamed. I looked deep into Muffy's eyes, and knew immediately why she was lying.
I was given three powers, like the ability to know when one's lying. And to read minds by looking hard into their eyes. And to tell how much one loved someone else, or me. They really were great gifts. But, in order to get these powers, three things had to be given up.
-Flashback-
"Nami, if you want the mind-reading power, you must sacrifice something." Said her mother. "What's that?" a five year old Nami asked her. "Trust." She said, and held a ball of energy. "How?" I asked her, wanting the power. "Stare deep into the orb. Think of what you must give up. Think hard, and poof, it's gone." She said, as Nami did as she was told. "Mom, how can I trust you?" I asked her when my mother took the orb away.
"That's how." She said, frowning.
"Now, if you want the power of when you are able to tell how much someone loves someone else, including you." She said, and revealed a bright pink orb. "Same as before, but, you must give up another thing." She said. "I want to know." I said. "Love." She said. I stared deep in the orb, and gave away all my love.
"Good, good. Now, one more: the power to tell when one's lying, by looked hard into their eyes." She said, and a yellow orb appeared. "Stupidity." She said, and I looked deep into the orb, and all my stupidity was gone. "Good. Very good!" then, she laughed.
"What is so funny mother?" I asked her, not seeing what was so funny. "When I was given those curses, I was told: when you can't handle not loving, trusting, and stupidity, give it to your daughter!" she cried, and laughed at me. I was tricked! "You-you tricked me!" I yelled at her. She laughed more.
-End Flashback-
I would never love anyone, so I could take these powers to my grave, and then, the three curses would be gone! Forever!
Jack's POV
"Nami I'm sorry, but I have to leave." said Celia. "Yeah, me to." said Lumina. "Bye-bye." said Muffy, almost throwing herself onto me as I got out. "Are you leaving?" Nami asked me. "No. Are you?" I said. "No." she said. "Ok." I said. "Wait, never mind, I cam stay." She said, and jumped right in front of me and Nami. "Oh. Okay." I said.
Muffy's POV
'Good, now I can get Nami, and take Jack all for myself!' I thought to myself. 'Soon, Nami, soon.' I thought. But, when I saw that Jack loved her, one person came to mind to help me: Daryl.
