Had this idea for a one shot in my head all day. Enjoy!

A Day In Her Life

'What to do today?...' Luffy thought as he walked across the grassy deck with his hands behind his head.

He had gone fishing just the other day. He was kind of sick of playing games with Usopp and Chopper, they had played them so often. He thought he'd keep his distance from Franky because of the "explosion incident" he'd caused yesterday.

No, nothing seemed to appeal to his taste at the moment. He scanned the deck, hoping to find inspiration. His eyes landed on Nami, who was making her way towards the girl's courters after leaving the galley. His eyes widened, and a little light bulb flickered on above his hat.

"Oi, Nami!" He called across the deck, running towards her.

"What is it Luffy?" she asked good humoredly, laughing a little as he stumbled and grabbed a hold onto his straw hat as he regained his balance.

"I was wondering, could I follow you around?"

"Why would you want to do that?" she asked curiously, raising an eyebrow.

"Well its just that I don't know what you do all day. Your whole day's a mystery." She laughed.

"Ok you can tag along if you want, just don't get in my way." She waved a hand at him as she turned around, and he followed after her into the girl's room.

He sat down on the floor as she made her way towards the beds. He watched as she made them, pulling and tucking and fluffing until everything was perfectly rectangular and neat. Then she traveled about the room, picking up clothes and depositing them into the hamper. When she was finished she hoisted it up and left the room, and Luffy followed her into the laundry room.

He observed as she sorted everything out into their respective colors, darks and whites and colors. She put them into different machines and started them up, adding detergent to each and closing them.

Then she was picking up baskets and shears and heading out to her mikan grove. Luffy watched as she snipped away dried twigs and picked some mikans, only once pausing in her work to wipe the sweat from her forehead with an earthy glove. When she was finished she delivered the basket full of mikans to Sanji to use in a dessert for that night, and they ate a quick lunch.

Next she was scattering utensils onto her desk in the library, and then she sat down to start a new map. Luffy noticed her tongue curl up onto her lip as she concentrated, sketching lines and checking coordinates off on another piece of paper. When she was finally finished an hour later she hung it up on a wire and put all her stuff away again.

She then made her way up towards the wheel, and instructed Franky with the help of the log pose until they were back on course once again. She scanned the water and felt the wind and instructed Luffy to lower the main sail to catch the wind and propel them along faster, and he happily complied.

Then she was back in the laundry room, putting the wet clothes in the dryers. Someone from the men's quarters must have brought some laundry in, and he watched with special interest as she handled his vest and shorts, (and blushing when she handled his boxers.) When those were finished she folded them all neatly and stacked them in baskets, taking her's and Robin's back into the girl's room.

When she was done sorting everything away she paused and took a great breath, her hands on her hips.

"Oh yeah!" She said, looking at Luffy for the first time since that morning. It was now close to supper time, Luffy knew according to his internal meal time clock. "I promised I'd fix up that cut in your hat didn't I? Give it here."

She produced a sewing kit from underneath her bed and, gingerly taking his hat from his willing hands, she sat down, threaded the needle, and began to stitch the small cut up again. He leaned on the bed beside her, watching her nimble fingers dart the needle back and forth through his hat.

"You're amazing." He said suddenly. She snorted.

"Me? Yeah right. Compared to you and the rest of the crew I'm about as amazing as a blank piece of paper."

"Nope. I'm pretty sure you're amazing." He told her as she handed him back his hat. He marveled at where the cut had been, the only reminder the microscopic yellow stitches that had replaced it.

Instead of putting it back onto his head, he surprised Nami by putting it on hers. Giving her a quick peck on the cheek he ran out of the room, calling back:

"And don't keep denying it, cuz I'll just have to remind you again!"

She smiled as she put a hand on top of her head, the coarse hat tickling her fingers.

Well, she had gotten a complete idiot to fall in love with her. Yes, she was amazing, she concluded. Covering her face with his hat, Nami smiled and followed him out into the sunset.


I've probably mentioned it before, but Nami's my favorite One Piece character, if only just because she's not a devil fruit user, or demonically strong. She's just… Nami. Yet she keeps up with everyone else, and puts herself in harm's way just like the rest of them, even though she's more likely to die than the rest. She inspires me, and sometimes I act just like her, (I have ZERO patience XD)

I just wanted to write about a normal day for her, and what she most likely does (on the days she isn't tanning :P) I'm hoping this will earn her a little respect :)

Review and tell me what you think!
