Hello Guys! Today I went to my first day of 8th grade. It was okay. Made a new friend that also likes manga/anime. I heard about what happened to the Crocodile Hunter. I was EXTREMELY shocked. I just couldn't believe he died. At least he died doing what he loved. As always I am going to present this new chapter. Hope you enjoy it!

Disclaimer: I will NEVER own One Piece. I am sorry. But that will never happen…

Chapter 12: A Day of Fun!

The next day, after what happened at the little party…

Everyone was just finished getting ready for breakfast. Except one girl. Who was WAY past ready.

As Luffy, Nami, Sanji, Zolo, Usopp, Chopper, Robin, Trace, and Minnie's family came down to make and serve breakfast the spotted one girl waiting. Already dressed up to go out somewhere.

"Minnie? What are you doing?" Her mother asked.

"Oh…I made breakfast already. Eggs, bacon, pancakes, hash browns, and orange juice. Now come on Luffy!" Minnie said as she pointed to all the food placed on the table and then got up and locked her arm in his and began to pull him out the door.

"Wooo, hold up little girl! Where are you going with Luffy?" Her father asked.

"I promised Luffy that I would spend the WHOLE day with him. That means when he wakes up until he falls asleep. And I have hung out with everyone. BUT Luffy. So it's only fair," Minnie said as she turned to the dumfounded group of friends and family members.

Her father sighed. Knowing how she would try to find a loophole out of staying. He wasn't a man to give up so quickly. But…

"Fine…but don't stay out past 11p.m. You got that Minnie?" Her father asked.

"Yes! And thank you daddy!" Minnie said with a grin. She hugged and kissed both her parents on the cheek. As well as her sisters. She only hugged her crewmembers though. She quickly grabbed Luffy by his arm again and ran out of the door. After a minute of Minnie pulling him Luffy stopped her.

"What's wrong Luffy?" Minnie asked.

"But what about breakfast!" Luffy whined.

"Hmm…oh don't worry about that! We are going to this diner I know. It's really cute and cozy. PLUS it serves great food," Minnie said back with a smile.

Luffy perked up and grabbed Minnie's arm and then said, "What are we waiting for! Let's GO GO GO!"

Then both Minnie and Luffy ran towards the diner and went in.

"Ahh! I see Minnie is back. With a boyfriend? When did you get a boyfriend? When you were out to sea?" The older man said with a smile on his face. He was kind of chubby. But had a kind look to him.

This made both Minnie and Luffy blush a nice shade of red. That was noticeable

"Boyfriend! No no no no no! We're just friends. This is my new captain. Luffy, I would like you to meet Bill. The owner of this diner. Since this town is SO big. But I know a lot of people here," Minnie explained to Luffy as both their blush began to fade away.

"Nice to meet you Bill. Now, where's the food?" Luffy asked with his normal huge smile. But then changed it to a hungry one as his stomach rumbled at the end of his sentence.

"I see. Well come this way then. Minnie. Want your normal seat? By the window near the back? And what brings you here?" Bill asked as he began to walk through the cozy diner. Filled with a few people that were recognizable by Minnie.

"Yes please! I'm showing Luffy around the area the whole day. So I wanted to show your fabulous diner to him Bill and we stopped here for some supplies," Minnie said with a smile.

"Okay. I hope you and your friends will do okay out at sea. Wish you the best of luck. Now what will your order be? The same thing as always for you Minnie? And what about your friend?" Bill asked as he gave Luffy a menu. After the two sat down together.

"Yes please…and knowing Luffy I think you should give him the same thing. Except with orange juice," Minnie said with a glance over at Luffy and then at Bill.

"Okay. Your order will be out shortly," Bill, said as he took the menu out of Luffy's hands. Before he could even read what was in it. Bill then walked into the kitchen with the order in his hand.

"What's he going to get us?" Luffy asked curiously.

"You'll see. It's really sweet and yummy. I'm sure you will just love it," Minnie said to Luffy with a wink. That small wink made Luffy feel weird again as he felt his face get hot. Meaning he was at least blushing faintly.

About a second later a girl came out with a glass of OJ for Luffy and a cup of grapefruit juice for Minnie. The girl smiled at both and then left.

"Now Luffy…don't drink all of the juice at once or you will be thirsty when the food come out," Minnie said as she noticed him eyeing his juice like he was about to pounce.

Luffy nodded and only took a small sip.

At least 15 minutes later Bill comes back out with two plates. Filled with a sweet aroma that made Luffy drool a bit. Which made Minnie giggle a bit.

"Here you go Minnie. The usual! With extra powdered sugar," Bill said with a huge smile on his face as he noticed Luffy's reaction to the platter.

The plate was filled with 3 huge French toast slices that were smothered in strawberries, powered sugar, and syrup. That made the butter on top melt a bit.

"Enjoy!" Bill said as he left the two.

"You know I will Bill," Minnie said back.

"AND ME TOO!" Luffy said as he waved his arms in the air happily.

The two began to dig in. Luffy in his usual sloppy way. That he tried to stuff everything at once. While Minnie ate in a mannered way. Yet it was kind of quick. It was kind of like Luffy. Except without the sloppiness and 'let's stuff everything in their' look.

A few minutes later both were done eating. Giving Bill the well, bill. And the two went out the door to the shopping area of the town.

As they walked around the area together Minnie began feeling strangely. But not like the way Luffy had felt towards Minnie. Another way. A weird way. But Minnie just shook the feeling off and continued on her day with Luffy.

Next the two went to the town's square. Where the competition was held. The two ran around and had fun looking around. The place had its decorations down and was now it's normal self. But still filled with tons of people. Looking around the area. Shopping. Or just taking a walk. While the kids were running around having fun.

Then the two adventurers went to their next destination. Another restaurant for lunch. Minnie had a salad while Luffy had a big burger. The way Luffy acted while eating the burger made Minnie laugh and giggle a lot. Usually it made people disgusted. But to Minnie it was kind of cute.

After that they went back walking around and acting crazy throughout the town. Until Luffy became hungry again. Then they went to another restaurant for dinner. Minnie and Luffy had pasta this time.

"This is really good!" Luffy said with a huge smile.

"This place serves the best pasta I know. I just had a feeling you would like this place," Minnie said with a smile. Today was great. Nothing bad was going wrong. Hopefully nothing will.

After both of them were finished and Minnie paid for the meal they left. Minnie took Luffy to one of her favorite spots. One that she was saving for the end of the day.

It was a huge hill. On the top was a tree. A big beautiful cherry blossom tree. Minnie quickly pulled Luffy to the top and then put her back leaning against the tree.

"Wow…" Luffy said as he looked out to the sunset. Mixing the colors into beautiful hues and shades of orange, yellow, pink, and tiny bit of purple, and the midnight blue that was coming up.

"Isn't it beautiful?" Minnie asked with a sigh.

"Yes you're beautif- No I mean the sunset is beautiful," Luffy said catching himself from giving away the fact that he loved Minnie.

"This is my favorite spot. It always shows the sunset at it's best," Minnie said not even catching Luffy's mistake. Because she was to dazed out staring at the sunset.

Luffy looked at Minnie and blushed. Minnie looked beautiful. The sunset's raise falling onto Minnie's tan skin made her face just glow. Minnie was to busy looking at the sunset to notice Luffy's blushing. So Luffy felt safe.

But then Minnie's eyelids began to droop a bit. Making her look a bit tired. But then…

"AH!" Minnie yelled. She felt a huge pain serge go up and down her body. This made Luffy worried. So he quickly got closer to her and put his hands on her shoulders.

"What's wrong Minnie! Are you okay?" Luffy asked in concern for the one he loved.

"I don't know…I think it's nothing…to…big…" Minnie trailed off and then fainted. Luffy quickly caught her. He then saw something really weird appear. A huge black mark appeared on her arms, face, and down her neck. But then it disappeared as quickly as it had appeared.

Luffy picked Minnie up and placed her on his back. And then began to run back to her house. To find out what was happening.

Oh no…something bad is happening to our Minnie! What's going on! To find out we you must read the next chapter. And don't forget to REVIEW!
