"I guess so." Ryan said with a small smile.

Luffy grinned grabbing both of our wrists dragging us down the cliff. I grinned to myself; this guy was like a kid. Almost like I act sometimes. I felt Luffy come to a halt and I looked to see a huge ship. Wow, this kid moves fast. At the front, there was almost a sheep looking thing.

"Whoa." Came from both Ryan and me.

I looked at the paper, and the second line was glowing more. "Hold on tight."

I looked at Luffy for a minute with a raised eyebrow, before my eyes grew wide. I gasped when I noticed his arms stretching up and grabbing the side of the ship. He must have ate a devil fruit too! I quickly grabbed onto his stomach, my brother doing the same. Luffy grinned, and all three of us were sent into the sky and I clamped my eyes shut. Then I felt my feet land on the wooden floor of the ship. I slowly opened my eyes.

I stared up at Luffy, "Dude! That was sweet! Did you eat a fruit?"

He grinned, "Yuh! I ate the Gomu Gomu Fruit!"

Ryan then spook up, "So, you can stretch?"

Luffy grabbed the side of stretching it out, "Yup! I'm made of rubber."

I laughed, and my brother moved to stand next to me. Luffy pointed at us, "You guys look alike!"

I rolled my eyes, "It took you that long?" and Ryan smiled, "We're twins!"

"That would explain why you guys look so much alike." Zoro said from behind us.

We turned around to face Sanji and Zoro, and shook our heads, "Yep."

Luffy grabbed our wrists and brought us up to another pirate. He had black curly hair and a long nose. He had goggles covering his eyes and brown overalls on. He removed the goggles and grinned at us, "That's Usopp!"

"I'm the captain of this ship!" he said proudly, and I had to hold back a laugh.

Yeah, right.

"No you're not! I am!" Luffy yelled at him, dragging us away.

This time he stopped in front of a girl. She was probably our age. She had orange hair that looked about shoulder length, maybe a bit shorter. She was defiantly taller then Ryan and I. She smiled at us, "This is Nami, she's our navigator."

"Luffy, who are they?" She said pointing at us.

"Jamie," he said pointing to me, "and Ryan." He said pointing to my brother. "They're our new crew mates!"

Nami sighed, "We'll need to get more food if we're going to have more mouths to feed."

"Uh, yeah about that…" Ryan said quietly rubbing his head, "We don't even have any clothes or anything. You see we're kinda from…"

Ryan was cut off by Luffy, "They're from a different world! Isn't that cool?"

My eyes instantly brightened, "Oh, the riddle!"

I dug around in my pocket pulling it out and looked at it, the whole piece of paper started to glow brightly, and I closed my eyes slightly due to the brightness. Then with a poof it was gone. I gasped, "What?!"

Ryan stared shocked, "It's gone!"

I looked down at the ashes on the floor, I glared at them, "How are we supposed to find the next part!? I thought you would change or something!"

Ryan sighed, "I guess we have to look."

"That was so cool!" Luffy said, poking the ashes.

"No, it wasn't! The stupid thing didn't even say where the next part might be!" I yelled.

"What was that?" Nami asked, eyes wide.

"That would be ashes." I said pointing to them, "But, it use to be a riddle."

"We're guessing it's going to help us find our way home." Ryan said, with a shrug, "Now, we need to find the next part."

Luffy stood up and grinned, "I'll help!"

And with those two words, Luffy went around tearing up the ship. Usopp was following him around yelling at him to be careful with the "Merry". I'm guessing, that's the name of the ship or something. I turned to Nami and my brother who seemed to be having a conversation.

"An alternate universe, huh?" Nami said, with a hand on her hip.

Ryan shook his head, "Yep, we have no idea how we really got here. But, the riddle wanted us to join the crew."

"How do you know?" Nami asked, interested.

By now Sanji and Zoro joined us, at our little area while, Ussop chased around Luffy and Chopper going with them asking if he could help.

I decided to jump into the conversation now, "Because, the riddle said "a new home appears in front of you", that was us coming here to this world, I'm guessing. The next line was, "you must find who's true" which only started glowing after Luffy found us. But, it also started glowing even brighter when Zoro and Sanji came. When I took it out of my pocket, it was glowing just as bright as the first line."

I took breath, and continued. "I'm guessing the glowing means we're either close to and, or have finished that part of the riddle. A way to give us a clue, I'm guessing."

Nami shook her head, "What else was on it?"

Ryan spook for me, "Say yes, and find the next part."

"Only then will the adventure start." I finished.

"Say yes must have been for joining the crew, right?" Nami asked us both.

Both of us shook our head, "Yep."

"So, now you only need the next part and solve that riddle?" Sanji asked, taking a drag of his cigarette blowing out the smoke.

"I guess so." Ryan said.

"How many riddles do you think there is?" Zoro asked, from his spot on the floor his arms crossed across his chest and his eyes closed.

"Who knows, maybe the next riddle will give us more clues." I said with a shrug.

"All we need to do is find it." Nami said.

I smiled at her, "Yup."

"Before that, let's all go get supplies." Nami said, she then pointed at Ryan and I, "I'm guessing you guys have no money."

Ryan spoke, "Yup, sadly."

"I'll lend you some, but sense you're new I won't put any interest on it for when you pay me back."

I heard Zoro let out a snort, "That's so generous of you."

Nami glared at him, "Where's the money you owe me?"

He turned his head and acted as if he didn't hear her. Sanji come up next to her and hearts came out of his eyes, "That's so nice of you Nami, my darling!"

Nami, ignored Sanji, and started barking out orders. "Sanji and I will go get food and other supplies."

"Ryan and Jamie can go get what they need, and Zoro can baby sit them."

"Why do I have to baby sit!?" Zoro asked, well, more like yelled.

"Because, you're first mate."

"What's that have to do with anything?" He asked, glaring at her.

"Shut up and watch Luffy and Usopp!" she barked, walking away and heading towards a door opening it and descending into it.

--

I laughed quietly to myself when Nami came out of the galley and started wailing on Luffy and Ussop to stop fighting. They seemed to be fighting over who was captain, or something on that subject. I was currently up in the crows nest looking around at the Island. We still haven't sailed off yet. Nami said there was going to be a storm tonight due to the dark clouds heading our way, and sense we are already docked, she said we should stay until tomorrow.

I sat down and leaned against the small wall. I looked up from my gaze on the floor, to the entrance of the crows nest and saw my brother climb up. I smiled brightly at him and pushed over from him to sit.

"This is so unreal, huh?" he asked, smiling.

"Yeah, but it beats school any day!" I grinned at him.

"Do you think Dad's worried?"

I looked at Ryan's thoughtful expression then stared at my feet. I held my knees to my chest, and rested my chin on my knees. I sighed, "Who knows with him, he might not even know were gone."

"Do you think anyone knows?"

Again, I sighed. "I don't know, Ryan. I'm not there."

He stayed silent, and then spook again quietly, "That stupid riddle hasn't shown up."

I looked at him from the corner of my eye; I noticed how the sun was playing off his very lightly tanned skin, I noted mine must be doing the same thing. "Do you think it might appear to us in different ways? Like how it was in my pocket. Maybe it'll just show itself to us."

Ryan thought about this for a minute before replying, "I think you might be right for once."

"Than- hey!"

He grinned at me quickly disappearing from my sight. "Ryan get back here!"

I quickly climbed down the mast, jumping a few steps from the ground and looked around. "Where are you, you little bugger!"

I heard laughing and immediately identified it as his and I ran up to the galley. I threw open the door glaring at my brother. I smirked when I felt my stick rip through my skin on my hand, I quickly ran at him aiming at his head, and with one swift move he was next to me and stuck his foot out. I growled hitting the floor with a thump.

I quickly got up about to hit him again, when Nami grabbed my hand. "As much as he probably deserved it, it's time to eat."

And as if he were psychic, Luffy ran into the galley with a determined look on his face, "FOOD!"

I laughed sitting down next to Zoro, Ryan sitting across from me. Sanji, held two plates in his hands, and danced over to the table, "Here you are Nami, my goddess." He put the plate down in front of here, "And here's your Jamie, darling."

I laughed at the now drooling Luffy, and took a bite of the food. I gasped, it was delicious!

"Sanji, this food is wonderful!" I said, quickly eating the rest of my food.

He squealed next to me, hearts popping of his head for the billionth time today, "Why thank you Jamie!"

Then after a few minutes of eating, conversation broke loose throughout the table. "Where are we going to sleep?" Ryan asked, and I looked up swallowing the food in my mouth.

"Well, there's a couch in our room." Usopp said.

"What about me?" I asked.

"There's a couch in my room."

"Any storage rooms?" I asked, "No offence to you or anything Nami, but I like to have my own room."

"None taken, I like my privacy too." Nami said, "There's actually an empty one next the guys room."

"I'll take it." I said with a smile.

I finished eating my food, picking up plate up and putting it in the sink. "Thanks for the food Sanji, it was really good. Defiantly better then Ryan's."

"Hey!" Ryan growled from across me.

He danced over to me, putting his plate into the sink as well. He hugged me with hearts in his eyes, "It's so good to hear you like my food, Jamie!"

I smiled, "Sanji, can you show me where the storage room is, please?"

He smiled, "Of course!"

He exited out of the room, me following suit. "Wait, I'm coming!"

I stopped and looked at my brother with a smile, "I need to know where the room is that I'm sleeping in!"

On the way my brother and I picked up all of the bags of our new clothes and everything we need. Sanji offering to carry mine the whole way, "No really Sanji, it's okay!" I said smiling, "But thank you anyway."

Within a few minutes I had put everything in the room, and Sanji got me a hammock to use. I smiled a thanks walking back into my new room. I hung up the hammock and walked back to the galley where everyone still was, my brother also already there.

I looked at his serious expression and raised an eye brow, "What?"

"I found the next riddle."
