"If I don't make it through this, I just want you to know that I hate you." Virgil muttered as they walked down a hallway.

Riley completely ignored his comment as she smelled some flowers sitting on a desk. "Ew, gross. They look really pretty but smell horrible. And what's with the walls? They're all pale. I mean I'd want color in a house this big." Riley said rambling about different things about the house.

"I mean seriously. This wall color is u-g-l-y."

"Isn't it the same as your wings?" Virgil asked.

Riley stopped walking for a second before opening up her wings enough so she could see them. She suddenly made a pouting face and snapped them closed. "Wouldn't it be cool if they were red? Or made purple."

"Your wings or the walls?"

"Both." she said simply.

"The walls maybe, your wings no." Riley gave him shot him a look, which he ignored. "You're enough of a freak as is."

"Well hardy, har, har. Aren't we the little comedian." she said with sarcasm dripping from her voice.

Virgil paid no attention to her as he kept walking down the hall. "Where are the guards? There were some outside shouldn't there be some in here?"

"Who cares. Let's just find Usopp so we can find Dakota and Megan." Riley said before looking down a different hallway. "All clear."

Down the hallway there was a swinging door with a tiny window. Riley continued to walk forward while Virgil tried to stop her. "Stop Riley. That looks like a kitchen."

"I know. And I'm hungry. Do you know how hard it is to fly for that long with no stops, without food? I suppose you don't!" she said wriggling her wrist out of his grip. "But it's morning. That means someone's bound to be cooking breakfast." He said before grabbing her wrist again.

"All the more reason to go in there and get some food. It don't taste good unless it's been cooked." Riley said squirming away from him. She ran down the hall until she reached the door. Right before she opened it Virgil tackled her.

"You! Are! Going! To! Get! Us! Caught!" he said holding her down. "Then why are you the one screaming!?" Riley shouted back fighting against him.

"You're screaming louder than me!" Virgil screamed back. "Well guess what! You're screaming louder than me about screaming louder than-" Riley was cut off by the door swinging open. A man stepped out holding a kitchen knife. "I heard that some one had broken in. Who would have thought it would be street rats." he said.

Riley pushed Virgil off her and stood up, " Hey! We're not street rats! We're pirates."

Virgil looked at her and back at the man. "No we're not pirates. We're dead." he said before the man jumped them.


Usopp sat in his room when he hear a girl shout, "Let me go! I just wanna speak with Usopp!"

He could tell it was a young girl, but it wasn't Megan. He opened up his door and right when he did he saw a preteen looking girl being dragged down the hall and a boy following with his arms crossed.

"You wouldn't be so high and mighty if I had only gotten some food! I'm just too weak from hunger to fight you right now. And Virgil's not helping anything!" The girl shouted at the guard who had a hold of her.

"Well, we did break in. So I see no reason to fight him." Virgil said as he walked along behind them.

"Don't side with them! All I want to do is get some food, crew mates, and talk to Usopp. But nooooo! These big dumb idiots don't seem to get that." Riley scowled. The guard that was carrying her sat her down and he held his shoulder. "Ow! You little punk! You bit my shoulder!" he shouted.

Riley turned around and saw Usopp standing there. "Usopp! Finally! These dumb butts wouldn't let me talk to you." she said walking over to him.

Usopp frowned. "Do I know you?" he asked.

Riley gave Usopp a hurt look. "Some friend you are. You can't even tell who your best friend's daughter is." Usopp looked at her for a second before his face lit up with recognition. "Riley!? You are so big now!"

"Really? Wow, you must have been really short if he thinks this is big." Virgil said walking over. Usopp looked from Riley to Virgil then back again. "I'm guessing you're Zoro's son?"

"You would be guessing right." he said before sticking his hand out. Riley completely ignored this and jumped up and hugged Usopp. "I haven't seen you since you were somewhere around the age five." Usopp said, pulling the clinging Riley off of him.

"So what are you two doing here? Especially this early. And why break in? Why not use the front door?" Usopp questioned them as he waved the guard away. The guard gave Virgil and Riley a warning glare before walking away.

"We formed a pirate crew. We just got here. And this way is more fun." Riley answered. "We're looking for people to join our pirate crew." Riley said. Virgil cleared his throat as if reminding Riley of something. "Oh yeah, and we need a ship."

"Yeah, I'm getting tired of her having to carry me." Virgil added. Usopp merely gave him a weird look before turning back to Riley who was talking again. "So where's Megan and Dakota?"

"Someone talking about me?" Megan said from behind. Riley spun around and came face to face with Megan.

"Hey Riles. I thought you were dead." she said. Usopp snorted and then muttered "I said missing not dead. Missing."

"No I was only missing. The dead part was only wishful thinking on your part." Riley joked.

Virgil watched the two of them interact before he decided to say anything. "So, I take it you two know each other?" he asked.

Megan turned around and looked at Virgil like it was the first time she even noticed him there. "Yeah, we used to hang out on her dad's ship sometimes when we were little. Before she went AWOL." Megan said.

"Okay, I hear they caught the people trying to break in, so can we go outside now?" a voice asked from another room. With out warning a door down the hall opened up and a boy who looked about fifteen came running out.

He looked back and forth from Virgil and Riley before saying, "Okay, I think the cutest robber just broke into our house." Dakota finished. Usopp lightly hit him on the back of his head. "Do you know who that is?"

"A girl who needs a new shirt." Megan asked, giggling. "Oh, yes let's just all team up on poor Riley." Riley said mockingly. "I like that plan." Virgil said before getting his foot stomped on.

"I don't believe anyone asked you." Riley said through clenched teeth. "Wait, Riley?" Dakota asked. "Like as in Monkey D. Riley?"

Riley, Megan, and Virgil nodded. Dakota spit several different times and stuck his hands in his mouth, wiping his tongue with his hands. "I can't believe I just called my old best friend cute."

"So what now I'm ugly?" Riley asked stepping up to Dakota. He instantly stopped wiping his tongue and backed up. "N-n-no." he stuttered.

"Good." she said.

Megan walked over in between the two of them and stuck her arms out so that they backed off. "So what are you doing here Riley?" she asked.

"I'm here looking for you guys and a ship."

"Pretty vague there Riley." Dakota said.

"Okay then, I'm looking for you guys to become part of pirate crew and we need a ship." she said. Megan and Dakota looked from Riley to Usopp. Usopp looked at Riley and then to Megan and Dakota.

"People don't just stop by to say hi anymore do they?" Virgil asked jokingly.


"Thanks Merry." Riley said as he put breakfast in front of her. They were all seated around a table with Usopp and Kaya on each end. Riley and Virgil sat on one side and Megan and Dakota on the other. Toast, bacon, eggs, pancakes, and even more was laid out on the table in front of them.

Riley stared at the food in shock. "So much food." Riley breathed. She hadn't seen a meal this big in a long time. "Yes, there is a lot of food. We made this breakfast in celebration of you two coming to visit." Merry bowed to Riley and Virgil and then continued. "Sorry of it's not our best. We had such a short warning time that you were here."

Dakota loaded his plate up with food and started to dig in. Riley followed his example, just a bit slower. "Man! This stuff is awesome!" she said in between bites.

Kaya smiled sweetly as she watched Riley eat. "So you're Luffy's daughter. I've always wanted to meet you. Every time you have visited we seem to somehow miss each other." she said. Riley looked up from the food at her and swallowed. "Thanks." she said before eating again.

"Wow, Riley you're just as hungry as ever." Megan laughed. Riley tried to give her a glared, but with a mouth full of food it wasn't very intimidating.

"You're eating a lot too." she countered. Megan stuck her tongue out at Riley, which made Riley stick her tongue out at Megan. This went on till Virgil mention Riley's face might freeze like that.

After they finished eating breakfast Riley and Megan went outside to climb trees. More appropriate words would be that they went outside so Megan could climb and Riley fly. Dakota and Virgil were sitting on the stairs of the mansion lounging around. Usopp and Kaya were standing in the doorway watching them.

"So Virgil how long have you two known each other?" Kaya asked him, meaning Riley. Virgil snorted and rolled over like he was going to sleep there. "Less than two days. We flew here after she had fainted at our dojo."

Usopp and Dakota looked like they were going to ask why she fainted but shook their heads. This was Riley after all.

"You're gonna make us fall!"

"I will not!"

"You wanna bet?"

They looked up at Riley and Megan arguing with Megan holding onto Riley's ankles a little bit about the branch she had been standing on.

"Fine but if you fall don't blame me for getting that pretty pink shirt dirty." Riley said shaking her legs slightly. Megan just pulled herself up more tightly around her legs. Riley faltered and started to go down slightly. "You can't hang onto my legs! I won't be balanced right and we'll fall!" Riley shouted right before her wings snapped shut and they fell.

Dakota was laughing so hard he almost rolled down the stairs. "Klutz! Riley you are officially the biggest Klutz I have ever met!"

Virgil was cracking up laughing even worse than him. "It's called Karma! Live with it!" he shouted over to them. That will teacher her to drop him out of the sky.

Riley and Megan sat up from the debris of leaves. "We're okay." they shouted together. Megan stood up from the ground and brushed the dirt off of her black pants. "Ow, ow, ow! Stop moving!" Riley yelped. Megan looked over at her. "What do you want?" she asked

"Two things. One, you're standing on my wing! And two my hair is caught on your pocket zipper!" Riley said trying to grab her hair and pull it out.

Virgil rolled over onto his side so that he was facing Dakota. "Were they always this way?"

Dakota smiled and looked at him. "You have no idea."
