A/N: aah... so here's 3. chapter finally brought myself together to write it xD yay for distracting homework and advent calenders xD

Disclaimer: I do not own One Piece... and as every other fangirl I might add: "But I wish I did".. xD

I opened my eyes and looked out in my room. Nothing seemed changed. I remembered a strange dream about pirates and straw hats, but what it had been all about I couldn't really memorize. I sat up and threw the sheet aside. The wooden floor was cold and a shiver ran through my body as I walked over it. My body was still weak and I could still feel the fever burning, but I didn't care, because I was so hungry. My stomach was rumbling and it felt all hollow and empty. It was a long time since I had last eaten something solid and now I finally felt hungry, so I knew I had to eat at once, before I lost my appetite again. Opening the door to the staircase in the hall I tried to keep my dream in mind, but I was still tired and I couldn't really focus on remembering. Then I stepped out into the hall and walked down the stairs. My eyes were narrowing in on the kitchen door, which was closed as usual. I didn't notice the weird noises coming from within, before I stood with my hand on the doorknob pushing it open. It felt like a lightning stroked me, and I just stood completely frozen at the door glaring at the people in the kitchen. An odd scene took place in front of me:

A Straw Hat and a swordsman were fighting over a piece of meat. A blond-haired, smoking guy with a heart-eye was trying to kiss an orange-haired girl, who was turning him down instantly, while a long-nosed guy, a black-haired woman and apparently a reindeer was discussing something I couldn't understand at all.

"Oi! Sarah's up!" the Straw Hat suddenly shouted excited, and I felt all the strange people stare at me.

I noticed that the black haired Straw Hat quickly ate the meat he had been fighting with the swordsman about. "Uhm… god morning…" I really didn't know what to say.

Well, I wanted to ask who they all were and what they were doing in my home. And I wanted to ask why they knew me, and I was wondering were my parents were. Had they just left me with a bunch of unknown people?

"You look troubled little girl," the black-haired woman noticed and I quickly shook my head.

"No no," I answered and tried to smile, "I was just… wondering… do you know where my parents are?"

"Yeah yeah!" the Straw Hat answered with a big smile, "They're gone out. All the people went to discuss if we can stay here or not."

He was still smiling like he wasn't worried at all. "Are you shipwrecked?" I asked still not moving from my place at the door.

"No, but we have to stay at this island until our Log Pose has adjusted itself to the next island," the orange-haired girl answered.

"Okay."

So it wasn't a dream. I tried to remember their names, but only managed to remember that the Straw Hat was Luffy and the swordsman was Zoro. My stomach disrupted the rest of my thoughts, when it growled loudly, and I looked down at it with surprised. It was like I had completely forgotten why I had come down to the kitchen in the first place. "Is there any food left?" I asked without looking up.

"Yeah, but Sanji won't give us any," Luffy mumbled with an angry glare in the blond-haired mans direction.

So he was Sanji. And he was smiling still with a cigarette in his mouth. "I just won't give you any, Luffy!" he answered, "If I did, you would eat these poor people out of the house!"

"Nah!" the Straw Hat shook his head denying, but the rest of the crew seemed to agree with Sanji.

I just smiled and asked with a little voice: "Can I have something to eat then?"

"Sure!" Sanji smiled and handed me a plate with a piece of bread on.

I didn't want anything more, because I knew already that it would be too much if I began eating meat also. "Thank you," I sat down on the floor, as all the seats around the table was already taken, and began to eat in silence.

I could feel their eyes on me and quickly finished up. "Why are you sitting on the floor?" Luffy asked with wonder in his voice.

A bit unsure I answered: "Well, there's no chair free."

The pirates looked at each other for a moment and then all stood up at the same time. Luffy began laughing, when he saw my partly scared, partly hesitating expression. I didn't really know if I should snatch a chair while I had the chance or just stay on the floor. There wasn't really any reason for me to take a chair, since I had finished my breakfast. "Thank you, but I have to… uhm… do something at my room, so I'll be leaving," I quickly mumbled as I stood up and placed my plate at the sink and hurried out the kitchen.

"Did we scare her away?" I heard the Straw Hat ask the rest of the crew.

"Yeah, you laughing can scare anyone away in an instant," Zoro answered him.

I smiled a bit and then ran up to my room to get dressed. I felt a lot better after eating, so I thought that maybe I as well ought to get up and do something besides lying in my bed. But when the noise from the kitchen disappeared I felt the fever heath up again, and when I sat down on my bed I could hear nothing but my own slow breathing. I suddenly felt tired and not in the mood for getting dressed. It wasn't like anybody would notice if I just crawled back under my sheets and fell asleep, and after thinking about it I decided that it wouldn't hurt me to sleep just some hours. With my head on the pillow and my sheet pulled up over my head I felt the warm pounding under my skin. In the kitchen I had forgotten the sickness, but now nothing was distracting me and I felt all strength leave my body again. I couldn't even think. If it wasn't because I was getting use to my sickness by now, I would've tried to ignore the throbbing in my mind and just said to my self that I was okay and I wasn't sick at all. It was just a normal headache and the reason for my burning skin was just that I was lying with some clothe on. But I knew I was sick. And I knew it wasn't normal. And there was nothing I could do other than sleep and hope to get better. So I closed my eyes and fell asleep, hoping that when I woke up later on, if I woke up, I would feel better.

At that time I was already halfway asleep, so I didn't notice the footsteps coming near. I didn't hear the sound of my door opening and the wooden floor squeaking under the weight of the pirate. I just slept with my hands locked tightly around my pillow.
