I woke up feeling the familiar swaying of the ship that relaxed me. I assume that we are off to the next island which is going to be a spring one. I have heard that in the spring time it's one of the best times of the year. I can't wait to see what spring looks like.
I got out of bed and got dressed into a black tank top, and some black shorts. I grabbed my staff and went up to the kitchen to get some food to eat. On the way there I could feel my body warming up but it wasn't unbearable, I should tell Chopper about it. I walk into the kitchen and notice there are only a few people. Robin is here, and Nami, Chopper, and Sanji. Chopper looks at me when I walk in and smiles.
"How are you feeling Crystal?" Chopper asks me.
"I'm feeling hot and a tiny bit weak but I can manage," I said sitting down next to him.
"Alright, I can give you some medicine for it and it will subdue it for the day," Chopper offered as he looked through his bag for the medicine.
"That would be nice, and then I could finally play with you guys!" I said excitedly.
"I can't wait to take you shopping! It will be so much fun!" Nami said excitedly and Robin smiled.
"Shopping sounds fun, I would love to try it sometime Nami" I said sitting down at the table.
"We'll do it at the next island if you're up to it," She offered and I agreed. Chopper came over and gave me my medicine and I took it.
"Thanks Chopper."
"No problem, it's what I do Crystal," Chopper said putting away his medicine as Luffy and Usopp came walking in tiredly.
"Good morning lazy bums," I said giggling at their tired faces.
"G'd mornin," Luffy slurred and sat down.
"Why are you so sleepy?" Robin asked looking up from the book she was reading.
"I don't know I just wasn't sleepy last night but now I am," Luffy said yawning.
"Are you sure you're fine?" Chopper asked.
"Yea I'll be fine," He said.
"Chopper he's human too you know," I said smiling at the cute doctor.
"I know but I can't help but be concerned," Chopper said looking through his bag to find something to help his captain.
"Chopper it'll be fine, just relax, he just wasn't sleepy one night and needs to take a nap," I said smiling and patting the reindeers back.
"Yea, he probably just needs a nap, okay thanks Crystal," Chopper said getting cheery again.
"Hey Luffy!" I said thinking of an idea.
"Hmmm? What's up Crystal?" Luffy asked looking at me tired.
I giggled, "Do you want to take a nap in the grass in the afternoon?"
"YEA!" Luffy got some energy back for a split second and then he got real sleepy again.
"Okay how about after breakfast? Then you can be happier earlier," I suggested.
"Yea that'll be nice," He said laying his head on the table.
Sanji then brought out breakfast; it was chocolate pancakes with some fruit on the side and the choice of drink. We all ate and with the usual antics by the three stooges cause Luffy got some food he was energized for the moment. After we were finished though he went right back to being sleepy and I just giggled at him. He looked at me and pointed outside to the deck. I smiled and nodded and walked out to the grass covered deck. I lay down on the grass and looked up at the clear blue sky. I closed my eyes to hopefully get sleepy enough to sleep, I then heard Luffy lay down next to me and I smiled. This was a nice feeling, to just lay down in the sun, I'm glad Chopper could make that medicine cause it feels great to lay here in the grass and be comfortable. I then started to slip into the dream world and I would find some interesting things there.

(This is a dream, whenever you see italics it's usually a dream)
I woke up in a pitch black room, well I think it's a room. I started to walk forward into the darkness until I saw a light in the distance. I started to run towards it and just didn't want to be alone in here anymore. When I reached the light I was blinded for a second and then I was in a cell room like the ones the marines kept me in. I looked down and saw I was wearing chains. I didn't know what was going on but I didn't like it. I walked up to the bars and looked to the right and left. There were no guards but the chains and bars were made out of seastone. I guess they assumed that I couldn't get out so I didn't need guards. I went back to the wall and sat against it to wait until someone came to get me to do whatever.
I don't know how long I was waiting, but at one point I heard footsteps coming toward my cell and I sat up waiting until they walked in front of me. When they got there I couldn't see their face cause they were wearing a black cloak that covered themselves completely. When they went to go put down the hood I gasped when I saw their face.
"Y-You're m-me?" I questioned.
"Yes Crystal I am you, but I am just your mind telling you something very important," My mind told me kneeling down in front of the bars.
"What's wrong? Is something bad going to happen?" She just nodded.
"You are going to end up here again Crystal, you might even die here this time," She said with a grim face.
"W-What do you mean? I'm with my family now, we can't be separated…" I said confused and trying to take in the information she just gave me.
"They won't be able to stop this, I'm sorry," She said with tears in her eyes, "I don't want it to happen either, I want to stay with them forever but it can't be helped."
"…How do you know this?" I asked looking at my mind with tears running down my face, "How can I even believe you?! You could be lying to me and you could just a nightmare! How do I believe you?!" I yelled now getting angry but still crying at the same time.
"I'm sorry…you just have to believe me…" She said tears flowing fast down her face.
"I'm sorry but I just can't believe you, they are my family and they will always protect me," I said standing my ground.
"You will regret not believing me, oh your time is almost up," She said standing up and slowly walking down the hallway. As she left something glowing was coming from both sides of the hallway. I looked closer and saw it was flames coming towards my cell. I backed up against the wall but it was futile, the flames came into my cell and the heat was immense. I started to scream from the pain of burning on my skin. I fell to the ground screaming and flailing my arms and legs around in hope to get away from the flames but failed. I then heard yelling from deep inside the fire.
"CRYSTAL!" I heard a faint voice, but I kept on screaming.
"CRYSTAL WAKE UP!" I heard Luffy's voice.
"AAAAHHHH!" I kept on screaming from the heat, "IT BURNS!"
"CRSYTAL IT WILL BE OKAY JUST WAKE UP!" Luffy yelled once again and I jolted awake.
I woke up and looked around at my surroundings. I noticed I was in Choppers medical room and I was confused. I looked down at myself and saw bandages all over my exposed skin. I looked up and saw Luffy next to me with Chopper on the other side.
"Are you okay now Crystal?" Chopper asked me holding my hand.
"I-I" I winced, my throat hurt when I talked.
"Oh don't speak for now, you hurt your vocal cords from screaming so much, so try to speak as little as possible," Chopper said handing me a cup of medicine to take. I gulped it down and thought back to my dream. My eyes started to water because I didn't want to leave my family.
"Crystal what's wrong?" Luffy asked concerned.
"I-I d-don't wan-nt to l-leave m-my f-family," I sobbed.
"You will never leave us; we won't let anybody hurt you," Luffy said clutching my hand.
"B-But, my conscious t-told me th-that it can't b-be helped," I said calming down.
"Well then screw your mind then, because you will always be protected by us!" Luffy exclaimed.
"Yea, we won't let anything happen to you!" Chopper said jumping up on the stool next to my bed.
"Haha thanks guys, so Chopper when can I take these bandages off?" I asked picking at them.
"In about an hour but no picking at them okay," Chopper scolded me.
"Okay, okay, then can I get out of this bed now?" I asked throwing the blanket off of me.
"Yes just don't move around too much," Chopper said as he handed me more medicine for the burns and for the heat.
"Thanks chopper," I said gulping down the medicine again.
"Hey Crystal we are close to the spring island! We can see it from here!" Luffy informed me.
"Really?!" I yelled and he nodded.
I then started to use my powers and fly through the ship to the deck and fly to the roof of the crow's nest. I put a hand on the pole that was holding the flag up so I was leaning off of it. I then saw the most beautiful island ever. I could see a busy town in the middle of the island with a port in front of it. There were green trees surrounding the rest of the island and I could see a field of what looked like flowers too. I smiled widely and looked down at the deck, everyone was outside and was looking at the island.
"Hey guys!" I yelled down getting another idea in my head.
"What's up Crystal?" Nami yelled up at me.
"I'm going to go ahead to the island first okay!" I yelled back.
"Okay just stay in the city until someone finds you!" She yelled back and I smiled.
"Also Chopper, can I take off these bandages?" I yelled and he nodded.
I took the bandages off and flew down to get my staff, get dressed, and to throw away the bandages. I got dressed in my brown pants and blue sweatshirt. I went barefoot and frost covered my sweatshirt like usual. I was so excited I didn't think about covering my tail or ears so I went ahead and flew over with my staff and landed at the docks. There weren't many people there but for the people who were, were just staring at me in shock.
"U-Um, hello there, can you tell me where the market is?" I asked the group of men carrying boxes onto boats.
"U-Uh, y-yea," He said nervously.
"Thank you! I might get lost could someone show me the way?" I asked politely.
"Yea, my son can," I man said. His son came forward and he looked a little bit older than me. He had brown hair and hazel eyes, and he was about a head taller than me.
"Hello there…my name is Jake," He said holding out his hand.
"Hello my name is Crystal," I said shaking his hand.
"So you wanted to go to the market?"
"Yes, could you please show me the way please?"
"Of course," He said walking on the path that leads into the village.
"So, why is spring such a great season?" I asked out of nowhere.
"Have you never experienced spring?"
"No, I never have, this is my first time," I said kicking a rock as we walked.
"Well, spring is the time when everything becomes colorful again. Flowers bloom; the leaves on the tree come back, and the weather is very nice." Jake explained.
"It is a nice place," I said looking around at the trees.
"Now my turn to ask a question," Jake said stopping.
"Uh yea, what is it?" I asked looking at him.
"What are you?"
I couldn't really speak from the shock. I tried to speak but I remembered all the terrible words people have called me whenever they saw me and I started to have a panic attack. It was hard to breath and I started to shake, Jake didn't know what to do and tried to talk to me but I couldn't hear him. I could only hear the names calling me horrible things.
"Monster!"
"Demon!"
"Worthless shit!"
"Go to hell!"
"JUST DIE!"
I then felt a sharp pain in my arm and saw a needle injecting something. I looked up and saw a woman that looked in her late 40's. She had a bag filled with medical things and I assumed was a doctor on this island.
"There, are you okay now miss?" She asked kindly.
"Y-Yea, thank you um…" She just chuckled.
"My name is Kokiri," She said holding out her hand for me to shake.
"My name is Crystal," I said shaking her hand.
"You gave us quite a scare; you looked like you saw a ghost but worse!" She exclaimed.
"I'm sorry, Jake and Kokiri," I said putting my head down.
"It's fine, but Jake shouldn't of said what he said," Kokiri scolded Jake.
"I'm sorry Crystal," Jake apologized.
"No, I'm sorry I freaked out like that," I said bowing.
"So where were you headed Crystal?" Kokiri asked me.
"Jake was showing me where the market was," I said standing up and grabbing my staff off the ground.
"You must not be from around here," Kokiri assumed.
"She's not, she flew here!" Jake said still surprised about that.
"Stop making up stories Jake, I'm sure she's just part of a merchant ship," Kokiri laughed.
"No Kokiri, I'm a pirate, and I really did fly see!" I said and started to levitate. They were both shocked at me and I just smiled.
"Crystal, did you eat a devil fruit?" Kokiri asked and Jake just looked at her like she was crazy.
"Yea I did, now I have magic powers!" I said flying around them.
"Amazing, well I won't judge, you see enough strange people nowadays," She laughed and Jake was just confused.
"Can we go to the market now?"
"Yes we can Crystal, let's go, I was heading there anyway," Kokiri said walking down the path with her bag of medical supplies.
