Chapter 8: Home Again?

The Next Day after Zolo and Luffy's talk…

Minnie was helping Nami out with picking a place to stop and get supplies. They were dangerously short and needed to also get some more cash!

"Hey…what about here? This looks like a good spot. It's close and we can just go in and get supplies and get out," Minnie said pointing to a small island.

"But there are monsters crawling around over there," Nami said back. "How about here?"

Minnie stared at the place she pointed to. 'Azusa…I can't believe we are going to go there,' She thought as she placed a finger on the island.

"You okay?" Nami asked.

"Yeah…I am fine was thinking. Let's go there!" Minnie said with a smile.

"Okay," Nami said back.

Minnie walked back down the stairs away from Nami over to the front of the boat. Luffy saw her. Zolo was with him.

"Go say it now…while Trace is training!" Zolo whispered in Luffy's ear and then pushed him forward.

Luffy looked back and smiled an uneasy smile and walked over to Minnie.

"Um…H-hey M-Minnie," Luffy said nervously.

"Hey Luffy what's up?" Minnie asked as she turned herself to face him.

"Oh…um…nothing really. I just wanted to talk," Luffy said back. This time not stammering.

"Oh…what about?"

"Um…do you want- I mean- if you don't mind do you want to hang on? No I mean hang up with me?"

"Um…Luffy? What are you trying to say?"

"Um…I think Zolo is calling me. I better go see why. Bye!" Luffy said quickly and then ran away.

"What happened?" Zolo asked Luffy when the boy ran up to him.

"I don't know. I messed up and I could ask her," Luffy said as he looked over his shoulder at the confused Minnie.

HK: They are hiding behind the pole that leads up to the crow's nest.

Zolo and Luffy began to talk about it when Nami yelled something.

"We are here! We are at the spring island Azusa!" Nami said pointing to the island that was now seeable.

Minnie turned around and saw it.

"I can't believe I am here already," Minnie whispered to herself as Kuna came up to her and jumped onto the railing.

A few moments later…

Everyone got out the ship and was now on the island. The town that they came to when they landed was cute. The people were all doing something and there was decorations being put up and there was a stage in the center of the town.

"What's going on here?" Sanji asked with another lollipop in his mouth.

"It's the Music Festival…you enter with a band or with a group of friends and you sing and play songs. The winners get 10,000 berries," A girl said as she heard what they said.

The girl looked about their age. She had shoulder length pink hair. She wore a pink top and a skirt. She had pale skin and blue eyes. Next to her was a girl that looked the same age as well. She had short red hair. Up to her chin. She had green eyes and pale skin with freckles. She wore a green short-sleeved top and jeans.

"We already entered. But we are missing someone. She left a few weeks back on a journey," the red head continued.

Minnie looked over at the girls when she looked happy.

"Oh my God! No Way! Tisia? Kani? Is that you!" Minnie asked in excitement.

"Is that you Minnie!" The two girls yelled.

They all jumped up and hugged each other while jumping up and down.

"I missed you guys so much!" Minnie yelled in happiness.

"Same here!" Tisia yelled.

"Um…what's going on?" Usopp asked the others.

"I don't know…" Trace said with a shrug.

"I am a so sorry guy. These two girls are my friends Mina and Kani. I used to live here but I left on a journey a few weeks back," Minnie said with a smile as they girls stood in a line. Minnie being in the middle to point to the two girls.

"Oh okay," the gang said in unison.

"We need to practice a song and beat Maleva, Thorn, and Paine," Mina said in annoyance.

"Did you call?"

When the gang turned around they saw three girls. Maleva is the leader. She has on a red strapless top with tight jeans and black boots. She had long black hair and red eyes. Thorn was wearing a dark green and black tanktop, form-fitting jeans, and black sneakers. She had dark green colored hair in a high ponytail and blue eyes. Paine was the one who wore a blue t-shirt, jeans, and black skater sneakers. She had short spiked up purple hair and green eyes. What they all had in common was that they loved to be mean and try to beat Minnie, Tisia, and Kani.

"We are so going to beat you poor saps," Throne said her usual evil tone.

"Yeah and we can now have all three of them beat because Minnie is back," Paine said with a smirk.

"Oh yeah! We are going to show you who is going to win!" Kani yelled.

"Well then…let's see who wins then. We have to go. If we stay much longer we are going to get lame syndrome," Malvea said as they walked away laughing.

"We guys got to go. Can you guys go and buy the supplies while we practice a few songs?" Minnie asked them.

"Sure. No problem. Right?" Robin asked everyone else.

"Yeah…I can go with Usopp," Trace said with his usually smile.

"I will go with Luffy," Zolo said as he pointed at him.

"I will go with Nami-san," Sanji said as he moved closer to Nami.

"And I guess I will go with Chopper," Robin said with a look at the reindeer.

"Okay. Then you guys can go to this place and leave your stuff there and then go to the Music Festival. We will be there. But you won't see us until later. Okay?" Minnie said giving Nami a slip of paper.

"Okay. See you guys there," Nami said with a wave as Minnie and her two friends ran off waving bye.

"Well…we will meet up here at the Festival around 7 p.m. So that gives us around 5 hours. Let's go!" Nami said looking at a near-by clock that read 2:03 p.m.

Everyone ran off in a different direction and began shopping for supplies with the money Nami gave them.

Back where the girls were…

"So…who are those guys?" Tisia asked Minnie as she took out her guitar.

"They are my friends," Minnie said back.

"Yeah…but what do they do?" Kani asked.

"They are pirates," Minnie said with a smile.

"THEY'RE WHAT! HOW CAN YOU BE WITH PIRATES!" The two yelled in unison.

"They are nice. Don't worry. They saved my life and Kuna's right girl?" Minnie asked Kuna happily.

Kuna mewed happily. Meaning that was a yes.

"Okay…but you better be careful," Tisia said with an uneasy look.

"Don't worry! I will. Now let's practice! But where is Rei?" Minnie asked.

"Right here. Don't worry. Your drummer never leaves his friends," A tall boy said with a smile.

Rei was tall and he had sort of tanned skin. He had short blue hair and purple eyes. He wore a black t-shirt baggy jeans and white sneakers.

"Okay! Let's start!" Tisia said with a smile.

Then they four began to practice. While the Straw Hat crew was shopping.

Hope you liked this chapter. The next chapter will include a whole lot of music! See you guys there. And also…PLEASE REVIEW! Thanks!
