OKAY! Here's chapter three! This chapter will be much longer! Please R&R!
-Shiza
Viv kept walking down the dark and eerie hallway trying her best to follow the thick fog. Her next step was nothing as Vivi stumbled forward and fell down the hole. She landed on a big pile of cushions and throw pillows, dust flying everywhere. She straightened herself to face a shiny crystal ball, sitting on top of a small table covered with a purple cloth. A shadow dimmed the ball's light as it came closer.
"Aah! What we got here?" a squeaky voice spoke through the silence. She was a tall, stringy woman, wearing a carribean sash-like dress, her long grey-white dreds covered in tiny shells and wearing a colorful feather head piece. Her feet were bare, but had a few rings on her toes, fingers and ears. In her hand was a small voodoo doll.
"Your name, ma'am?" she speaked again.
"Vivi." Vivi coughed, finding her voice. The shaman pointed to Vivi's braclet.
"May I?" Jujula asked. Vivi hesitated before handing over the braclet. Jujula clasped the braclet with her long fingers. Jujula stared longly at it.
"You come a long wayfrom Alabasta, eh little princess?" Jujula at Vivi. Vivi jumped in shock.
"You can-how did you-' Jujula chuckled.
"I know a lot of things about you Vivi. Running away form your throne, to join your heroes. This Crocodile maaan, Cobra your father, Karoo your yellow ostrich, the rubba boy you in love with." Jujula raised an eyebrow at the metion of Luffy. Vivi blushed.
"Amazing." was all Vivi could say.
"You wish to find this man and his crew?" Vivi nodded quickly. "But you got no crumbs to tracken them down?" Vivi slowly shook her head.
"Typical. Teenagers. Runnin' around on a wild goose chase! Your heeead above the cloouds-"
"Excuse me! Are you going to help me or not?" Vivi suddenly snapped. Jujula made no movement more than a raised eyebrow.
"You want my help? Sobeit!" Jujula smiled.
Jujula gently shook the voodoo doll in her hand and on it's belly appeared Vivi's name. Jujula then took the crystal ball and broke it in half. The light haze out and surrounded the doll and swallowed it up inside the ball as it quickly melted back together.
"Now my dear, you must ask me one question that your want answered. Vivi shrugged.
"okay." Vivi sat up, but Jujula continued.
"You ONLY get one shot at this in order for the magic to work. One question, one answer." Vivi thought hard about her question. Luffy appeared suddenly inside the ball. Vivi blushed at his appearence. Not just one, but a million questions popped inside her head.
"Does Luffy love me more than nakama?"
"Does he love another?"
"Would he laugh at me?"
"Would he laugh at me?"
"Will he laugh at me?"
"Should I confess to him?"
"Will he send me back home?"
Jujula couldn't help but laugh. Vivi went out of her train of thought, stopped her fidgeting and stared at Jujula as she straightened up.
"Looks like your questions evolve around one in particular?" Vivi blushed more. having her question, Vivi spoke. "Are Luffy and I destined to be together?" Jujula stared at her for a while, then sighed.
"Love has a funny way of expressing itself. In order to find out, we have to go beyond what we can do ourselves." Vivi blinked. "What do you mean?" Jujula's smile returned even bigger.
"Would you like to find out yourself?" Jujula stood on her knees, coming closer to the crystal ball, her long fingers enclosed around the ball. Luffy''s face looking clueless made Vivi come closer, almost daring to touch it.
"A small token is needed for this to work" Jujula said, messaging the ball. The ball started glowing brighter as Vivi felt herself being drawn to the light. The picture changed again, showing luffy with his happy smile that Vivi loved the most.
"Anything." Vivi whispered. Suddenly, th ball got too bright that the light leaked out the door. Vivi jumped back, bieng swallowed by the light. Jujula's beady eyes looked up at Vivi before she was swallowed by the light.
"Your face."

A little BOOM shook the restaurant that only Shiza seem to notice. She turned toward the foggy door, but to see no more fog smoking out the door. Becoming concerned, she called Bruno to mind the store and she went inside Jujula's room. She mad her way down, down, down the strecthout hallway. before she made it to the big hole, she turned a sharp left walking through a door that lead down some stairs. It lead all the way to the room that now lit with candles. Shiza saw her grandma who turned and smiled at her before she noticed the body laying among the cushions, out cold. Shiza gasped, and rushed to her side. She looked down at raven haired woman.
"Grrandma! What did you do this time?"Shiza hissed softly. Jujul shrugged.
"She wanted to know if her love wa true, so I gave her a test. It's up to her wheter she can pass or not." Jujula walked up beside the new Vivi. She leaned over to her ear.
"You love will come in 3 days. Before sunrise on the third day you must earn his love and kiss him. If not, you will remain this way forever."

Vivi felt dizzy as she slept. Soon she found herself drowning. Everywhere she looked was dark waters. She couldn't move, she just sunk. Down, down, down she fell when suddenly a bright light appeared, coming closer. She noticed that the light was a bunch of tiny specks.
"Fireflies? In water?" Vivi thought as they came in a better view of sight. They slowly surrounded Vivi when Jujula's voice echoed through the water from above.
"Before sunrise on the third day... earn his love and kiss him. If not, you will remain this way... forever."
Vivi jumped up from where she slpet. It wasn't the pillows anymore. She checked her surroundings to find herself in a small room. She touched her face. Didn't feel like anything was out of place. The door opened and Shiza walked in.
"Hey! Your awake! I hope grangran didn't give you too much of a headache." she smiled as she walked towards the bed. "Tea?" Shiza handed out a mug. Vivi reached for it, but noticed Shiza's eyes were elsewhere. Shiza cocked her head to the side.
"I think black's your color. It goes great with your eyes." Shiza smiled. Vivi paused, hands barely holding the mug. She scurried out of bed and searched for a mirror. She stopped at the dresser where a huge mirror was held. Just then, Jujula walked in.
"Mamaw!" Jujula smiled at Shiza, then turned to Vivi.
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKK!" Vivi shrieked. Jujula cringed as Shiza covered her eyes. The scream was short but painful. Vivi gasped for air as she stared at herself and her new long raven hair and birght blue eyes.
"MY EYES! MY HAAAIR!" Vivi tugged at her new hair. Vivi kept panicking.
"What else is different about me? Am I missing a few toes? Do I have moles on my back? In my NOSE?"
Jujula and Shiza just watched for a minute as she kept ranting away. It was pretty funny to Jujula to see a spell well done, but Shiza nudged at her to stop her. Jujula sighed.
"Vivi?" Vivi kept ranting. "Vivi?" again clamly.
"Vivi!" Shiza walked up to her and shook her sholuders.
"VIVI!" Jujula shouted. Absolute silence. "Thank you. Now Vivi, as you can see, you are no longer yourself, totally. You asked for results, I gave you the test. It's up to you to pass!" Vivi gaped at her, then turned back to her new face. She thought of something. Karoo!
"Oh god! Karoo! I've been gone for too long! What must have of happened to him?" Vivi cried. Just then, the door opened and a giant duck head popped inside. QUACK!
"KAROO!" she leapted toward him and hugged him, apologizing over and over again. After comforting her duck, Jujula got her attention.
"Now dear, there's one thing you need while on the spell, and it's this." Jujula pulled out a silver chain, connected to a quarter-sized stone surrounded small silver swirls.
"Wow. It's pretty." Vivi started longing at the stone. Jujula handed it to her.
"This stone will help remind you how long of time you have until your time is up."
"How will I know this?" Vivi asked.
"You'll know." Jujula smirked.
The sun gleamed through the curtains. Everyone watched the sunrise as the warm colors shimmered along with the cerelean ocean. Shiza gasped.
"Oh! I just thought of something! A new look deserves a new name. Any ideas?" she asked Vivi. Vivi turned toward the sunrise again. "I like Dawn."
"Then Dawn it is!" Jujula smiled. Vivi nodded in response.
"Come on Luffy. I'm waiting for you." Vivi thought to herself with a smile.
