Jamie's POV!

Laughter was the only thing heard on the ship that night; everyone held smiles that could be seen from miles away. Luffy currently had two chop sticks, one in each nostril and ending in his mouth running around like a monster. I leaned against the railing with a grin, "What a party."

Ryan turned to me and smiled, "Yeah, these kids sure know what's up."

"You sound old."

Ryan just shook his head and watched the interaction between their shipmates, "And to think we should be in high school right now."

"Thank god were not, I'd be dying."

Ryan rolled his eyes, "You would not be dying."

I looked over at Chopper and frowned, "Why isn't he joining the party?"

Ryan looked over at me, "Why aren't you joining the party?"

I looked away and frowned once again, "Maybe I don't want to party."

I felt arms in circle me and I hugged my brother back, "Party and be happy with them while you can."

Tears collected at the edge of my eyes, "What about you?"

"If you will party, I will."

I quickly stepped away and grabbed Ryan's hands immediately breaking out into song, "Stop my breathing and slit my throat, I must be emo! I don't jump around when I go to shows, I must be emo! Dye in my hair and polish on my toes, I must be emo! I play guitar and write suicide notes, I must be emo!"*

I spun around and Ryan grinned and continued the song, "My life is just a black abyss, you know, it's so dark. And it's suffocating me. Grabbing hold of me and tightening its grip, tighter than a pair of my little sister's jeans... which look great on me by the way."*

We stopped our spinning and bouncing and turned to stare at the rest of the crew who happened to have been staring at us. I scratched the back of my neck grinning, "What?"

Ryan sighed shaking his head with a grin, that's when Zoro smirked and looked at Ryan, "You call me gay but you sing about wearing your sister's pants?"

Ryan glared down at Zoro, "I see your getting drunk with Sanji, does that make it easier to have sex?"

Sanji's eyes bugged out, "WHAT!?"

Ryan grinned over at the cook, "Zoro's in love with you."

Zoro glared, "I am not!"

I skipped over to Chopper scooping him up, "You're so cuteeee~!"

Chopper stared squirming in my arms, "I am not! Put me down!"

I pouted hugging him tighter, "Why would I do that? You're so badass!"

Chopper had stars in his eyes, "I don't like compliments!"

I grinned putting him down, "Liar!"

Luffy jumped over to be on my back, "Jamie!"

"Luffy!"

"Guess what!"

"What!"

"I love you!"

"I love you too!"

Nami shook her head, "You guys are insane."

A scream broke out across the deck and very looked towards the newest member, "There's something in my hat!"

"Take it out."

Chopper was attempting just that, and a piece of paper flew out, "Is that the riddle?!"

Chopper blinked, "What's a riddle?"

"Never mind that catch it!"

Everyone started jumping around trying to catch the piece of paper flowing in the wind, "Get it!"

An arm stretched out and grabbed at the piece of paper, "Got it!"

I jumped at Luffy with a hug, "This is why I love you!"

Luffy grinned, "Read it! Read it!"

I grabbed it clearing my throat,

"Meeting a new face can be hot,
In a place that's oh so dry.
You have to fight and show what you got,
Be smart and you will win,
Make the right decision."

Ryan scratched his head, looking over my shoulder; I looked up at him shocked. "Stop doing that, dick!"

He glared down at me, "Twig!"

I growled shoving the riddle in my pocket and lunged at him; bat already out and swinging, "Chicken shit!"

I felt a fist land on my head and pouted, "Damn Nami! That hurt!"

Ryan rubbed at his head with a sigh, "It really did."

She shoved her hand in my pocket and took out the riddle, "Let's try to figure something out."

I sat down and shrugged, "I don't see a point."

Ryan hit my head glaring, "Shut up."

Zoro raised a brow at us, "Why is there no point?"

I looked away from Ryan with a scowl, "Nothing."

Nami tapped her chin, "I wonder who we'll meet next."

"Maybe another crew mate!"

Vivi tapped her chin, "We're obviously going to be in Alabasta soon, it's a very dry place."

Luffy began to cheer, "We get to fight, woohooo!"

I grabbed the riddle putting it in my pocket, "I'll hold on to it."

Nami shook her head, "Let me, I'll make sure nothing happens to it."

I bit my lip, "...Fine."

I mean it's not like it matter right? Ryan and I would be leaving, no point in holding on to the stupid riddle.

I plopped down next to Sanji and Zoro, folded my arms. "You aren't happy."

"You have green hair."

"That has nothing to do with your happiness."

Sanji smirked, "Your face might."

Zoro glared at the cook, "Or maybe it's your shitty cooking."

I sighed hitting my face rather loudly and hard, "Shut. Up."

They both stared at me quietly, "I'd rather not remember you two morons by your bickering."

Ryan was by my side with in an instant covering my mouth dragging me to the kitchen and shutting the door, "Jamie, stop."

I looked up at him quietly before standing up, "No."

Ryan sighed, "Please."

I growled, "This is so stupid!"

Ryan sighed, "This is such an awesome party."

I frowned hitting my head against the nearest thing which happened to be Ryan, he grabbed my head stopping me, "Please, Jamie, calm down."

I glared at him, "She already ruined my fucking life! Why the hell should I calm down?! Why aren't you doing anything?" I pushed him away from me, "Do something! Yell, cry, do fucking something that shows you're nervous or scared!"

His voice was a low mumble, "Who said I'm scared?"

I glared at him, "You may be the calm twin, but even I know when you're scared!"

"I'm not."

"Yes you are!"

I growled slamming my fist into the table hearing a rather define snapping sound, "Just admit it Ryan!"

"Why? Why do you need to know I'm scared! Why do I have to show you I'm scared!"

"Because, I want to know I'm not alone!"

He stayed silent and looked at me through the darkness. I continued to show the scowl on my lips, tears I wish wouldn't shed started shedding. I felt him step forward and raise a hesitate hand towards my body. My glare dropped at the shaky hand on my shoulder, "You're not alone."

I didn't realize how soft my once loud voice would turn, "Then why are you putting up some stupid front like you always do, it's different, this is our lives."

"Because I want to show you I can protect you."

I frowned and leaned in for a hug, "You can't always protect me; I have to protect myself one of these days."

His arms wrapped around me tightly, "You're my sister; it's my duty to protect you."

I pulled away and sighed, "They're probably worried."

Ryan scratched his head, "Jamie, you need to start acting."

"What?"

"I don't want them to be worried, before this whole fight happened, you weren't being who you are."

"Which is?"

"Annoying, loud, jumpy, in-your-face."

"Thanks."

"You're welcome."

I rolled my eyes, "I don't know how to act."

Ryan seemed to nod in agreement, "Exactly why you need to try."

I nodded, "I'm sorry."

Ryan smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I just… I don't want them to get involved, if I had a choice, I would leave you with them."

I stepped forward a glare on my features, "That better not be your plan."

"You'd come after me, there's no point."

I bit my lip, "I don't like knowing my death date."

Ryan was the one to glare now, "You will not die."

"It's obvious what she plans to do."

Ryan grabbed onto my head holding my stare, "We're going to kick her ass."

"You say that now but with her fruit, I highly doubt we'll make 3 scratches at most."

Ryan ran a hand through his hair, "No matter what happens Jamie, promise me you'll fight."

I looked down at the floor, I couldn't promise something I knew I wouldn't be able to do..

"Jamie."

I stayed silent.

"Jamie."

By his tone I knew he didn't like my silent responses.

"Temperance!"

With that loud shout the door of the kitchen opened and my eyes widened, Sanji walked in blinking, "Temperance?"

I stared at Ryan shocked, this time I wasn't able to speak from shock. Ryan… he… he never called me by my first name.

Ryan's glare darkened ignoring Sanji's stares between us, I felt myself shirk in sight of the glare. "I… I…"

His glare was suddenly closer to my face and I quickly spit out the word, "p-promise."

Ryan's glare became soft and he petted my head, "I'm sorry."

I nodded and turned towards a shocked Sanji, "Temperance?"

I bit my lip and Ryan answered for me, "The name our mother gave her when she was born, Jamie's her middle name."

Ryan ignored the continued blank look from Sanji and turned to Jamie smiling quite fakely, "Ready to go back to the party?"

I gulped nodded following Ryan out of the kitchen looking at Sanji nervously before darting out of there. That's when two drinks where passed to us, one to me and one to Ryan.

Sanji soon joined with his own drink, Luffy grinning holding his up, "Here's a toast! To our new friend and new doctor, Chopper!"

Everyone drank with smiles, my own slowly finding its way, "To Chopper!"

Sanji seemed a bit off when agreeing to my outburst but everyone seemed to not catch it like Ryan and I did. I ignored it taking a drink of the liquid in the cup looking down at our new ship mate, "This…"

"This is the first time in my life that I feel happy!"

With that comment my body seemed to calm itself and I smiled despite what happened, at least I could help at making this little guy's life happy for a little bit.

D: So unhappy! So unlike me! Damn that evil mother!

I love you! Review ;)
