A/N: OH MY GOD! I'M SUCH A HORRIBLE PERSON, I KNOW. SHOOT ME NOW. *shot* ANYWAYS, I was gone for, what now, 4-5 months. YEAH, long hiatus. Sorry about that—once again, SHOOT ME NOW. *shot again* I realized I picked a bad time to restart this fanficiton—a time when my teachers decided to make my life hell—oh, and it was track season. Yeah, my teachers + their work + AP + track = no fanfiction for a while. AND THEN, THERE WAS EXAMS. I praise—like, I would bow down and kiss the ground that they walk on—ANYONE who can update their stories during the end of the school year. I FUCKING WORSHIP YOU. So, if you must, go ahead and shoot me *shot for the third time* BUT I shall update—hopefully—more frequently. Okay, so I probably shouldn't put your hopes up that high. Yeah, let's hope my life doesn't go bipolar and decide to deter me from this little story—but remember, I have not forgotten you all! :D
Dear Onee-chan,
To start off, this is my fifth time rewriting this letter. I honestly couldn't match any words and everything felt choppy every time I wrote; nothing flowed and I couldn't express everything that happened within the time I last wrote to you!
I hope you are doing well, and that nobody in your crew is giving you a hard time; especially that one guy you keep complaining about. However, knowing you, you'd probably make whoever is making you angry, suffer—but you're still nice (I think you're being too indulgent with those crewmates of yours). Are you having fun, and what are you doing? Well, whatever it is, I'm sure you're making the best of it—you are my onee-chan, and you can always make something out of a situation!
If you are wondering about me, I'm doing fine. Soon, I going get myself a large crew and find One Piece. Actually, I've started on making my crew—I got my first crew member! He's kind of stupid, but he's a good guy. His name is Redd, and he's fun to be around! Even though he's mean sometimes, he can be very nice…except when it comes to blood—so selfish and scary. Still, he doesn't scare me!
Also, I helped out a lot of people, and they are a bunch of nice people! Even so, you're right; there are other mean and stupid people out there. Like this one guy who decided to trash a bar because he was drunk and frustrated because of this one lady-person! Then, there's this other time when someone decided to steal my boat! After that, I happened to meet this slave trader—but the slaves are freed now…hopefully they won't get caught again and they're going to live happily. I also hope I did the right thing, and nothing bad will happen because of my action. Then again, we never know until something happens (unless you're some sort of psychic).
Oh and, there is this little girl, named Odette, that's going to stick with Redd and I until we find a suitable place her to be. She's really timid, but I think we can change that. And nee-chan, don't you think her name is nice? I think it is, she looks like an "Odette" to me!
Ah, I wrote too much I think, so I'll stop now. Hope to see you soon!
Sincerely,
Your imouto, Aislynn
P.S: This better get to you, or I'll be one very pissed off girl. By the way, you should at least give me the gist of your travel route so I know where to send the damned letters.
After finishing the letter, she folded the paper into thirds and stuffed it in the crisp and clean envelope. After, she turned it over and addressed it from herself to her sister.
"Aislynn, are you ready yet?" Redd called from the door. A few bags were packed, one for each person, with his being the biggest.
Aislynn glanced behind her to see him waiting impatiently at the door with Odette standing beside him quizzical eyes. Then, Aislynn placed the envelope in her satchel and went out the door with the bag swaying beside her. Once she was a foot away from her two companions, they all headed out the inn. A tender smile was left on Aislynn's face, and a thought stayed in her head: I miss you onee-chan.
Redd noticed her smile, and was about to ask what she was smiling about, but decided against it. It's not every day he could witness such a smile from this mysterious girl.
