Crashing Waves: Chapter 4

Partners in Crime

Hanako had been living in the Grey Terminal for a week now.

"You brat! Get back here!"

She dashed across the trash mountains, skidding across oil and hopping over the occasional piece of junk in her way. A bag of treasure was clutched in her hand. When she turned back to see the burly man running after her, she quickly scrambled through a large piece of metal so that the man became stuck, then turned to come face-to-face with the strange boy from the ball.

Her eyes widened.

"What are you doing here?! Why are you in the Grey Terminal?" cried the missing princess of Goa.

Sabo stared back at her. "What are you doing here?" he paused, "Your Highness?"

She froze, then slapped a hand over his mouth. "Don't mention that here!" she hissed. "Besides, I'm not a princess anymore. I'm just another person living in the trash of Goa Kingdom. Now come on. It's not safe to talk here."

The thug chasing her had almost gotten through the metal wreckage by now. Sabo nodded quickly and the two children raced off in the direction of the forest.

Hanako scrambled up a large tree.

"What are you doing?" asked the boy.

She paused, "I'm stashing my treasure. When I'm old enough, I'll buy or build a ship and leave this island." Hanako grinned.

"Really? I wanna go out to sea for adventures and write them all down!" said the boy, pumping a fist enthusiastically.

"Like a pirate?"

He thought for a moment, and then nodded. "Yeah! I'll be an awesome, badass pirate!"

The princess seemed to be in thought for a moment. Sabo blinked and tipped his head curiously. Finally, she nodded to herself and jumped down, leaving the treasure on the branch she'd been sitting on.

"Hey noble boy, what was your name again? And you can call me Hanako."

"It's Sabo. Why?" he asked.

"Because we're now partners in crime!" she said firmly, pointing a finger at him.

Oh… partners in crime. That sounds interesting…he thought. Wait… WHAT!?

A.N.

Here we go! Another chapter is done! And it only took me 3 weeks to write this measly chapter! OK, fine. I took forever. But that was only because I was in Europe for vacation without my laptop! And it was a pretty fast update for me…

Review replies-

I wish it was longer too… I suck at writing… And I saw your review for the previous chapter. I never thought of that! So now I've changed the name to something else. I've edited the previous chapters too. "Hanako" is a lame name (that rhymed!) but it's "ladylike" and flowery. I also just realized that if I called her "Tsunami" it would be so strange when Nami entered the scene! ( X _ X ) So yeah… thanks! J

SNicole25:

That's a good idea and I thought of that too… but it wouldn't really work with how I write.

Thanks! I'll try to do that…
