"Welcome to the crew!" said nami in a cheerful voice. I hate cheerful voices. My tail twitched in anticipation for everyone to stop smiling, but no one but Zorro did. Nami finally noticed that I was unconfortable. "Hey, what's up? you look a little edgy...You okay?" "Yea, I'm fine. I just don't normally spend much time with humans, that's all..." Everyone stared at me like I was crazy. Luffy spoke up. "But you are human! So you've got some cool features. So what? I'm different, too!" He stretched his mouth out and snapped it back. "I'm made of rubber, Zorro's the best swordsman on the world, Ussopp lies half his life, Nami can map mars, Sanji's the best chef in the world, and Chopper is the best doctor ever-and he's a reindeer!"
"Yea! You fit right in!" Nami said. I was very reluctant, but slowly, I warmed up to them, and Luffy instructed me to go and pack while they got a room for me to stay in. I was so shocked that I was leaving the island forever! I never wanted to come back. So, I packed up all the food I had in my house and gve it to Sanji for him to use on the boat, and packed all I would need for my journey. It took only a few minutes, but I was ready to go.
"You can room with me, Jessie." Nami said. I put my bags down on my side of the room, an started back out to get some of my furniture from my house. I brought it up with no problem at all. I unpacked everything and made my side of the room lok a little homey for me.
"Alright! Let's set sail! Nami, which way do we go?"
"North!"
"Okay! Full speed Northaway!" This was overwhelming. I was finally leaving the place I always called home forever! I was so ecited! As we went off to sea, I looked ahead. There was a giant ship that said NAVY in bright blue letters.
"Ship ahead!"
"Where?! I don't see any ship, Jessie!" My cat-vision picked up a ship, and I knew it.
"Look throught the binoculars right...There!" When she did, she was finally able to see it.
"How could you see it without the binoculars?"
"Cat-eyes."
"Oh, Yea. Luffy! Who's gonna bomb it?" I was hoping she'd say something like that.
"I will." I corageousely said. Questions like "Are you sure?" and "Really?" were flying around. During the whole sharade, we got closer to the ship. Finally, I jumped stealthfully and quietly all the way to the other boat. I silently knocked out the guards, and did some screwing around with their engine and the control wires. Then, I jumped back onto theGoing Merry just in time.
"Sit back, and watch the fireworks, people. Just make sure we stay straight."
"What'd you do?" Ussopp asked. I had a short and sweet reply ready.
"You'll see."
When our ship was seen by the NAVY ship, they tried to turn into us. Instead, they went the entire opposite way. Then, they decided to throw torpedoes. When they came ou, they blew up the engine, which burnt the ship down, with the crew, and all of the evidence of them ever being here in the ocean with them. "How'd you do that?!" everyone asked at once.
"I just re-wired the controls, messed with the engine and torpedo firing directors so that we just had to sit back and watch. I don't really like being seen doing my work."
"Well, it's official! You're definitely sailing with us from now on!" As the sun set, dinner was served.
"Dinner for all! Especially my pretty ladies!" Said Sanji, who was starting to get very annoying. Now I know why Nami acts so tough with all of these boneheads. Luffy was stuffing his face in so fast, I watched him swalliw his fork without even noticing. Ussopp and chopper were chatting away, and making food-statues, while the four normal people sat down and tried to eat a nie, wonderful dinner. Slowly, the volume increased until there was yelling and scrreaming, and a giant food fight all going on at once. Finally, Nami and I got fed up. I slammed ussopp and Chopper's heads together while Nami salammed Luffy's face straight into the leftover gravy.
"SHUT UP!" We both yelled. After that, we all settled in for the night, and for once in my life, I felt accepted. I felt like I fit in here. And as long as my new friends don't find out my secret, everything will end up fine.
