Fire Fist and the Ocean Princess
Summary: Based off a pic I found on DA. Ace is the guy every girl wants. Youko is a shy girl who doesn't look at anybody. They only share one thing and that's a chat room. What happens when Ace finds out that Youko's been the one he's been talking to for over a year. Bold is the chat.
Character:
Rouge: Youko and Ace's ten year old daughter
Youko: (Beginning) Mother (Main story) High school girl
Ace: (Beginning) Father(Main story) High school boy
Marco: Ace's best friend
Alvida: Head cheerleader.
When We First Met
Rouge bounced the ball up and down on the floor of the living room of the home that she and her family lived in. The ten year old girl was happily playing with it while her mother, Youko was sitting on the couch and watching TV. The woman had no problem with the bouncing of the ball.
"Mama, when is Daddy coming home?" the girl asked looking at the clock that read that he was late.
"Hm, might have had something come up at work." Youko said completely unaffected by the fact that Ace was late. "He'll be home when he comes."
"You never really worry about Daddy being home late do you?" Rouge asked the blue haired mom sitting down next to the woman. Youko turned the TV off and looked at her daughter who had black hair like Ace's with blue tints. She shared Ace's freckles but had her green eyes.
"I know that Ace is going to be home because the warehouse gets busy all the time." She said smiling happily.
"How did you and Daddy meet?" Rouge asked sitting in Youko's lap. The woman smiled and looked at a photograph that was next to them that had a picture of her and Ace when they first met, when she was fifteen.
Youko walked down the hallways of the high school she went to. Nobody talked to her and she kept her head low so that nobody saw her bright eyes. People were talking but the girl ignored them.
She entered the class room that she was to go to but didn't fail to notice him. A black haired teen who was known as the man every girl wants to get. He was the one that the head cheerleader was most likely to date.
His name was Ace, Portgas D. Ace, the average, hot sporty bad boy that every girl was after. Youko sat in her chair and ignored the teen who walked in and sat behind her, putting his foot on the desk much to the teachers annoyance though it was ignored.
"So, you going to the game tonight?" Youko looked up but ignored knowing that it wasn't anything to do with her and she didn't want to get it involved.
"Nah, I don't really care about it." the voice belonged to Ace and Youko became slightly interested in what he was talking about.
"What about Alvida?" the other guy asked.
"Got nothing to do with her anymore. Besides, I have something to do tonight." The man said standing up as soon as the bell rang and exiting the room. Youko watched him go, she didn't care what he was doing, but she had gotten a bit of gossip and something to talk about later that night.
Youko put her bag on her bed and instantly opened her laptop and opened the chat game that she played. She smiled slightly as she adjusted her black wire framed glasses and taking off her neon green converses. She logged on and looked at who was already there.
"Fire Fist is on." She said smiling as she saw her online buddy and instantly sent in a reply.

OceanPrincess: it's called New World High School
Ace walked down the halls and looked around. The girl he talked to had sent him a picture of herself when he had asked because she trusted him not to do anything about it and he hadn't, but know he had to find her.
OceanPrincess was in his school somewhere and he was determined to meet her before he left for college. He kept the picture in his bag and would randomly look for the blue haired girl but never found her. He had asked his buddies but they never knew about this girl either.
The girl was sitting on a cushion in what was probably her room and was smiling at the camera. She had green eyes that stood out against her tanned skin and medium blue hair that was in pig tails giving her a childish and cute appearance.
There wasn't really anything that stood out about her, no special features or glasses or anything like that. Just normal clothes and a normal face except once Ace saw her face; he couldn't get it out of his mind.
He sat in his math class and stared at the board trying his hardest not fall asleep even if he was narcoleptic. He glanced around the classroom and looked at everyone in it, particularly the girls. None really stood out, most were looking at him and would giggle when he caught their eye.
The girl in front of him was the only one he had been able to see with blue hair but it was down and he could see the frame of a pair of glasses so he ignored the girl and decided that she wasn't in his class.
Before the bell rang for the class to end, the girl in front of him had already gotten up and was ready to head for the door. Ace had gotten up at the same time and was about to head to the door that was behind him when he accidentally rammed the girl, tripping the girl and she fell.
Ace instantly bent down and helped her gather her stuff. He picked up her glasses and handed to the girl but stopped when he saw her face and stared at her and the said girl instantly grabbed them and put them on before muttering an apologizing and leaving.
"What's up Ace?" Marco asked his friend and the teen instantly brought out the picture he had and looked up at the girl.
"Her." he said with a slight smile.
"Who?" Marco questioned as they walked to the car that they took to their car.
"The girl I talk to online all the time." Ace said getting in and allowing the man to take the wheel.
"You mean that girl who you talk to online all the time?" Marco asked as they drove down the road that led to the coast.
"Yeah, it has to be her. I can't get that photo out of my mind and now I can't get that one girl out of it." Ace said looking at the man happily.
"What are you going to do?" Marco asked looking at him with a slight sigh.
"I'm going to ask her to meet me up some time." Ace said.
"Ace, you could have gotten the wrong girl and wouldn't that be more of creepy and stalkerish?" Marco asked as they walked through the warehouse and to where they were to start working.
"No, I just say that I live near the school and we see if we can meet up sometime, it happens all the time." Ace said with a victorious smile.
"And you plan on bringing in a bunch of roses?" Marco questioned and the man nodded. "Pray your ex doesn't spot you."
"Alvida, I don't care what she does as long as she doesn't mess with Princess." Ace said defiantly putting some boxes down.
"Youko." Marco said following the man to the next stack.
"Huh?" Ace asked confused as to who the blonde was talking about.
"The girl you've been talking to and sitting behind in math class's name is Youko." Marco said and Ace's grin grew.
"So that's her name huh? Her penname matches with it." the freckled faced teen said before continuing his work.
Youko stared at the screen and waited for FireFist to log on. He had told her about the job that he had and everything but this was the latest he had ever taken to get on, she hoped nothing was wrong with the man. After telling him what her high school was, he said that he had to go and instantly logged off. She had also had a run in, literally, with Ace that day and the look he had given her when her glasses fell off couldn't leave her mind.
"There he is." Youko said happily as she instantly sent in a hello.
FireFist: Hey wat up Princess, I got news
OceanPrincess: wat, I wana hear
FireFist: I actualy live near u
OceanPrincess: rly?
FireFist: yup, yur skool is th same 1 I go 2
OceanPrincess: … u do?

FireFist: tomorrow at noon
OceanPrincess: uhm, sur I gues. Where?
FireFist: main street. I'll fnd u sinc I know wat u look like
OceanPrincess: kay, g2g homewrk
FireFist: kay, bye bye
Youko closed her laptop and closed her eyes while simultaneously falling backwards onto her cushion. He went to her school and knew what she looked like and she was going to meet him tomorrow on one of the busiest streets in Raftel, in front of all of those people. Why was she so excited about this?
Youko held her breath as she walked along Main Street and through the thick crowd that formed on every Saturday. People were yelling at each other and some were fighting over pointless stuff. She couldn't think of FireFist actually being able to find her in this mess but she decided to keep walking up and down until he found her.
How bad could meeting him actually be? He talked to her all the time and he was really nice and everything and she hadn't heard anything bad about her since she gave him the picture of her though she did lie a bit about it. Youko had glasses and never put her hair up yet here she was with it in the same pigtails so that he could recognize her.
The blue haired girl turned her head around and searched herself for someone that might be Pyro. The wind blew a bit and the black and white cap she was wearing was blown in the direction of an alley that got fully hit by the sun, illuminating and allowing all in it to be seen.
The wind blew not only her hat but also the petals of a bouquet that a man was holding in front of him. The man noticed the hat and bent down to pick it up at the same time Youko did. The two of them looked at each other and Youko instantly recognized Ace and stared at him as he smiled and handed her the hat.
She wanted to run away and apologize but she was almost hypnotized by the man. Ace was wearing a black collared shirt that was open slightly in the front showing his muscled chest. Bright red buttons stood out against the wrinkled shirt that slightly went pass the black pants her was wearing. The man chuckled before moving his hand down and pulling off her black wire framed glasses and smiling at the bright green eyes before him.
"Hey there, Princess." The man said and Youko froze as her nickname, given to her by Pyro was said by the man. She looked up at him though it was kinda hard without her glasses and just watched.
"I-I kinda need those." Youko said stupidly and Ace instantly handed them back to the girl who put them on and looked at the man again. "P-Pyro?" she questioned and Ace smiled before handing the bouquet to the girl.
Youko took them and looked at them before turning to Ace who continued to grin at her but a small blush was evident on his freckled face. "Well, yeah that might be a little over the top and all but-"
"Ace-san!"
Ace flinched and turned to Alvida who was heading right for him and Youko waving happily. She stopped in front of him and smiled in a seductive way before turning to Youko who was watching them over the flowers.
"Who is this… girl?" Alvida asked looking the flat-chested Youko over and questioning her feminist qualities. "Don't tell me you dumped me for this tramp?"
"Oi, don't talk to her like that Alvida, Princess hasn't done anything to you." Ace said instantly and Alvida puffed her cheeks before looking at the smaller girl in scorn.
"Princess? That's an odd name for someone who doesn't look like they can have any grace whatsoever." The black haired woman said glaring at the girl before glancing at the roses which were becoming an eyesore. The girl slapped them to the ground and stepped on them. "I can't believe you are so low as to go for a low class level girl such as her, you are really pathetic Ace."
"Alv-"
"SHUT UP!" the two teens looked at Youko who was glaring at Alvida with full hatred.
"Don't make fun of Ace as if you can do what you want. A selfish bitch like you has no right to criticize someone else when things don't go your way." The girl said glaring at Alvida who was shocked at the outburst.
Ace took Alvida's shocked state for granted and grabbed Youko's wrist and pulling the girl after him as he ran through the crowd knowing very well what the girl said would piss her off and a pissed off Alvida was not someone you wanted to be around. They stopped after a while and Ace looked down at the girl who stood barely a foot or less shorter than him.
"Sorry about that." He said running a hand through his wavy black hair. "I didn't think she would show up like that and there is no way that she is going to let you go after that."
"It's okay, after a while she'll get bored and leave me alone." Youko said not looking up at the man and Ace noticed her silence before molding his hand to fit her much smaller one. Youko looked up at him with a slight blush on her cheeks at the motion and Ace smiled.
"Well, since we're here, wanna look around?" he asked pulling her farther into the crowd.
"Why did you want to meet me?" Youko asked as they walked through the different vendors.
"Once I saw that picture you sent, I couldn't get you out of my head." Ace said looking at her sheepishly. "I guess I wanted to meet you if it was possible."
"But why do you want to meet someone like me. You knew that it was me after what happened yesterday. I'm just a normal girl with below average grades and nobody really acknowledges me." Youko asked as they began to leave the main street of the town and head towards the beach.
"That's why. You didn't fawn over me and you never really stood out. You were a normal girl but you weren't normal either. You were always trying your hardest till you said screw it. You really never tried to stand out." Ace said with a smile as they walked along the street that was above the beach.
"You're making me sound like a Mary Sue." Youko said not minding the fact that she was holding hands with the man.
"Okay, so maybe that was what it seemed like." Ace said with a small laugh understanding what the girl was getting at. "You have a temper when angry and shy around people you don't know."
"I just don't like being the center of attention." Youko said looking at the sky above the sea.
"Then you're going to hate where we're going." Ace said walking to the warehouse he worked at. "As soon as I bring you in, you will be bombarded by people."
"You suck." Youko said as she was dragged into the large building.
"Oi, Ace brought a girl!"
"I'm going to kill you Pyro!"
"So after that you and Daddy got together?" Rouge asked her mother who laughed at it.
"That's how it turned out though it wasn't what we wanted at first but the head cheerleader can spread stuff fast." Youko said remembering what had happened to Alvida after that.
The sound of the door opened and Rouge instantly ran to Ace who laughed at the girl and picked her up before carrying her to the living room where Youko was waiting. He smiled at the girl and ran a hand through her hair.
"What did I miss?" he asked noticing the girl's look.
"FireFist." Youko said walking into the kitchen.
Ha ha this one was kinda fun to do. If you type in Mihawk and Ace in on DA and search you will find a double picture and one has Ace holding the flowers. I got this based off of that pic and like I said, none of the One-shots are going to connected unless I make a two-shot or have a run on which will be explained more in depth when they happen.
