I was in the darkness again but, I strangely didn't feel lonely. I could feel the warmth on my hand like someone was always holding it. I smiled at that; I knew by that that I was loved with them. There were times when I couldn't feel the warmth anymore and I became restless and tried to reach out for the warmth and it would instantly come back. I knew someone was always watching me, and I was glad.
I started to see the light again so I closed my eyes and let myself wake up. I opened my eyes before shutting them immediately I let my eyes adjust but it still felt like everything was super bright. I turned my head to see Usopp sitting there holding my hand but sleeping. I smiled and started to move to get up. I was sitting on the edge of the bed and that made me feel dizzy to the point where I was swaying. I let my body adjust before looking at my surroundings. Usopp still sat in the chair sleeping, and I was in the same bedroom that I woke up in before. There was a dresser, closet, bathroom, mirror, bed, and a nightstand.
I looked back at Usopp and he seemed to be waking up. I smiled at that before he realized that I wasn't in front of him he screamed. I instantly put my hands to my ears, and then he noticed me and stopped immediately. I heard the ringing again but still took my hands off of my ears. I looked over to Usopp who trying to say something but I just waved it off. He looked over at the door before it slammed open, revealing Luffy, Nami, Chopper, and Sanji. They all looked horrified before their eyes landed on me. I saw them smile, and then I saw Luffy running towards me to give me a bear hug. Before Luffy could get to me though, Sanji kicked him out of the way. I smiled as they looked to be yelling at each other.
Chopper then walked up to me, talking but I just looked at him. I guess they thought that my hearing would be fixed. I smiled at him as he seemed to be awaiting an answer, and everyone finally looked at me waiting for some kind of response. I then pointed at my ears and shook my head still smiling, and they just looked shocked. Chopper then pulled a pad of paper and a pen out of his bag, and I knew what he was going to do. He then showed me the paper and it had little writing on it.
'Hi Crystal, how are you feeling? Well how about you just tell me what you are feeling and I will help the best I can,' Chopper wrote and I started to write.
'Well, I still can't hear, and all my senses are still heightened. Everything seems too bright; I can smell a lot of things. My eyes, nose and ears hurt, especially my ears because Usopp accidentally screamed in my ear when I first woke up.' I wrote and handed it back to Chopper.
He nodded and walked out of the room, leaving the paper and pen behind on the nightstand. Luffy and Nami then came over and Luffy grabbed the paper and started to write. He made a concentrating face and Nami then looked over his shoulder to see what he was writing. Nami sighed and grabbed the paper he was writing on and ripped it out. Luffy looked heartbroken before Nami started to tell him something. Luffy smiled and nodded, he started to say something for a minute and Nami just wrote as he spoke. When Nami she smiled and handed me the paper.
'HI CRYSTAL! I'm sorry you're hurt; I just didn't want you to be taken because you are my nakama! So how are you feeling? I'm sure you are hungry because I know I am! You have been asleep for a long time, and I got scared when you said that…you were feeling like you wanted to die. I didn't know what to do and I felt helpless as the captain. But I know Chopper will save you! Welp that's it I guess haha!' Luffy said. I chuckled and started to write.
'Hi Luffy, I'm just feeling sick at the moment but there is still a part of me that feels like dying. I will be fine though because I have you guys. I don't want to die…I kind of just want to get off this island and go to a winter one again. I feel like the weather here is what's killing me slowly, the winter island gave me power and I felt immortal there. But here I just feel like I'm slowly melting' I wrote and I gave it back. Nami and Luffy read it with sad expressions until they got to the end. Nami then yelled something and Chopper came in freaking out.
Nami handed the pad of paper to Chopper and he gasped. He then yelled and Robin came in looking surprisingly calm, her and Chopper started to talk and I just sat there feeling dizzy from sitting for a long time. Usopp was still in here just being silent and noticed me, he raised an eyebrow and I just smiled. I lied down and Usopp came to the other side of the bed and grabbed my hand. I mouthed thanks and closed my eyes falling asleep into the darkness that wasn't so lonely anymore.

I woke up feeling the same enhanced senses and feeling like dying. I saw that the room was empty and got out of bed. I almost fell but I caught myself with the wall next to the bed. I walked to the door and walked into the hallway to the kitchen. I don't know how long I have been asleep but I haven't eaten since I was in the winter island after my training.
I walked into the living room and saw Zoro sitting facing away from me on the couch. I smiled and walked past him; I tripped in the process and couldn't catch myself in time. Luckily Zoro was fast enough and caught me before I landed and laid me on the couch. He then sat across from me on the other couch. He started to talk but I just stared at him. When he was done he looked at me and I pointed to my ears and shook my head. He sighed and pointed to me then to his stomach, I understood and nodded. I really wanted food and I just needed it now. He yelled something and just sat there looking like he was taking a nap.
I laid there thinking about the experiments that the marines always pulled on me and thinking back to what they were actually for. I didn't know if they ever worked but I was always tested on, every single day. I sighed not being able to hear myself doing it but it caught Zoro's attentions. He opened his one eye and just stared at me. I smiled at him before waving, all he did was just close his eye again and go back to sleep.
Sanji then came dancing into the room with what looked like soup. I smiled but I didn't think I could eat something hot right now and looked at him sadly. I made a motion asking for paper and Sanji went to go get some. I told him that I think I would get hotter if I eat something hot and that I think it would be better just to get me some ice and let me eat that for now. When he read it a look of realization came onto his face and smiled at me. He nodded before coming back with a bowl of ice and giving it to me. I started to eat it and I could start to feel myself becoming a little better.
I finished the bowl of ice and felt better. My senses were getting better, I could hear but it was still sensitive so I couldn't handle people yelling yet. But I could actually hear people talk now and I felt so relieved. I looked at Sanji and smiled at him widely, he looked surprised until I jumped at him and hugged him.
"I can hear again! I can hear again Sanji!" I said hugging him and he just chuckled.
"Good for you Crystal-swan, but does it still hurt if I talk loudly?" He asked and I just nodded.
"Yea I can't handle it when people yell yet but I can talk to people now!" I was till hugging him and you could still see a slight nosebleed forming but I didn't care.
"Ok well then let's get you to Chopper and let him check you over," Sanji said letting go of the hug and pulled me to the front door. I pulled my hand out of his and he just looked at.
"Sanji I don't want to go outside right now, I think I might get sick again if I walk outside because it's really hot," I said looking down at my feet.
"Crystal-swan, I will carry you if you feel like it's too much but Chopper must see you immediately so he can check up on you," He said looking at me with worry clear on his face.
"Ok…then can you carry me all the way because I don't want to die on the way there," I said chuckling and Sanji just smiled picking me up bridal style and ran to where Chopper was. Sanji was going so fast that the heat didn't affect me but when I looked at where Chopper was I noticed that it was the Sunny. I smiled seeing the ship and Sanji jumped onto it and carried me into the infirmary. Chopper looked up and gasped. He was about to yell before Sanji interrupted him.
"Crystal-swan has regained her hearing but she can't handle people yelling yet so please don't yell," Sanji said softly and placed me on one of the beds. Chopper had fans all around blowing air and Sanji pointed one at me while I lied down.
"That's great! Well I'll do a check up on you but first Robin and I found out why you are so sick all of a sudden," Chopper said to me and I perked up at that.
"Really? What's wrong with me?!" I said getting anxious.
"Well while you are summer islands your devil fruit reacts to that, and slowly kills you from the heat…"

OK HERE YA GO CLIFFHANGER! So I had time to write this one so I decided I would stay up late and post it. And I'm happy Crystal got her hearing back because I LOVE writing dialogue and I'm not very good at writing just regular paragraphs. *sigh* well that's It I guess, please review and tell me your feedback it would be appreciated.
