"Today was a pretty fun day." Luffy thought laying on Sunny's head and gazing at the stars. "Stars are so pretty. I should name them but then they just disappear by morning. Nami told me that some stars do have names but I forgot what they were. Stars… Star… Mom… I wonder how you're doing up there. Are you watching me right now? Can you read my mind? Do you miss me? I miss you."
"Luffy, why are you crying?" Someone suddenly asked.
Luffy didn't realize he was crying and quickly wiped away his tears and turned around.
"Hey, Nami!" Luffy greeted with a smile.
"Don't fool me." Nami said going by his side. "Why were you crying?"
"I was just looking at the stars."
"You were thinking about your mom?"
"Why does Nami have to be smart?" "Yeah. Do you think she misses me?"
"I'm sure she misses you every day as much as you miss her."
Luffy smiled at her words and then lay back down and Nami followed after.
"Nami, can you tell me the names of the stars?"
"Again? Alright. But first, do you remember what that one is right there?" Nami said pointing to certain stars.
"The Big Dipper!" Luffy answered childishly which made Nami laugh a little.
"What about that one?"
"The Baby Dipper!"
"The Little Dipper." Nami corrected.
"Oh. Name the other stars like you did last time."
"Do I have to?"
"Yes."
"Okay, but try to pay attention this time."
As soon as Nami started naming the stars she knew about, Luffy's mind wandered off.
"Watching stars sure is relaxing." He thought getting comfortable. "For some reason this reminds me of a song. What was it? Oh, I remember!"
"Luffy, are you even listening?" Nami asked but was ignored.
"Twinkle, twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are"
Luffy didn't realize he was humming out loud, though.
"Why are you humming?" asked Nami but was ignored again.
"Up above a world so high
Like… A…"
Luffy was falling asleep.
"Diamond… In the…"
"And he fell asleep." Nami said now not able to move since he was right by her.
"Like a diamond in the sky"
"Oh, he woke up. Luffy…" Nami turned to Luffy to find him still asleep. "Wha…? He's still asleep. Then who's…"
"Twinkle, twinkle little star"
Nami couldn't believe what she saw. Luffy's mother, Star, was right by Luffy singing to him while gently ruffling his hair.
"How I wonder what you are"
When Star finished singing, she looked at Nami who flinched lightly.
"Take good care of him." Star said in a gentle tone.
Nami nodded. "I will."
Luffy moved a little in his sleep and then Star disappeared.
Nami tried to move but Luffy wouldn't let her.
"Mom…" Luffy said in his sleep.
All Nami did was smile and got comfortable and soon fell asleep.
Even something as simple as a star can remind you of someone you love.
I loved doing this chapter. So beautiful! :')
By the way, I honestly have no idea what Luffy's mother real name is but I do remember reading somewhere, I forgot, ^-^' that her name is/was/would be Star. I think it sounds nice so it stuck with me and some people do tend to call Luffy's mother Star so… Yeah.
IT IS NOT OFFICIAL IN ONE PIECE SO DON'T GET CONFUSED.
