Thank you everyone for all the nice reviews. Thank you for all my regular reviewers and also to my new ones. I appreciate every review. The grammar I am trying to get better at. I'm sorry but I will put more effort into the grammar. Please review and if you any criticism please tell me.
Zoro had food poisoning and Chopper said it would take at least two days for him to get better. Those two whole days the crew decided to occupy Greycie so she wouldn't start to miss Zoro
Greycie sighed as she watched the clouds move in the sky. She was very bored and she didn't know what to do. She thought of taking a nap when she heard Brooke playing a tune and quickly went to the musician. "Hi Brooke are you going to play" She asked.
"Ahh Greycie-chan, yes I am. Do you have any requests" Brooke replied.
"Yeah bink sake please"
Brooke nodded and picked up his violin. He skillfully played the song and Greycie watched in awe. Brooke looked at the small figure in front of him and couldn't help but think of Laboon. He quickly finished the song before the rush of painful memories flooded him. Greycie clapped for the performance and stared at the violin. "Brooke is it hard to play the violin" Greycie asked.
"Ah no, not at all you have to do is just play with your soul." Brooke answered truthfully.
"Hmm" Was the only thing the little girl said. Brooke looked at the little girl and knew she wanted to touch the violin but something was holding her back. Brooke desperately wanted to give something to Greycie so that she may grow into a fine adult. Teaching her an instrument would show her the beauty music had. Yes teaching her music would forever tie them together and the skeleton would not be forgotten when she would grow up. "Ahh, Greyciechan would you like to learn how to play the violin"
Greycie looked up at him with stars in her eyes "Really Brooke you would teach me how to play the violin"
"It would make my heart very happy oh but, I don't have a heart yohoho Skull joke"
Greycie also started laughing finding the joke very funny. "Would you like to try to play the violin" Brooke asked stretching his violin to her. Greycie stopped laughing and quickly shook her head making her curls shake. "Oh no Brooke I would never touch your violin"
"Why not" Brooke asked
"Because you always very careful with it. Like really careful with it" She said rising her eyebrows making sure he understood.
Brooke looked at his violin and traced his hand over it. Yes he defiantly always took care of his violin. This violin made him able to spread his music to the crew. Music was a beautiful thing. Yes he would definitely teach the child now.
"Well next time we stop a village we will see if they have a music shop and we will buy -." Brooke began.
"Well how about I ask Franky if he can make me one" Greycie chimed in. She didn't like how everyone was buying her things and she had no way to repay them.
"Ahh I think Frankysan would like to make a new invention." Brooke agreed.
"Ok I'll go ask him right now thank you Brooke" Greycie said while running.
Franky was making repairs on the ship when he heard tiny feet heading his direction. "Hey Franky, Franky" He heard a cheerful yell
"Oi lil sis what's up" Franky yelled back.
She ran to him and taking a deep breath she quickly said "I was really bored so I went to Brooke for a song and then I saw how pretty his violin was. Then Brooke asked if I wanted to learn how but I don't have a violin. So he said he could buy me one but the thing I don't want him spending his money SOFRANKYCANYOUMAKEMEAVIOLIN" She yelled the last part.
Franky looked at Greycie and started laughing "Sure Greycie Ill make you one"
Greycie grinned and jumped on the shipwright squeezing g his neck.
"A SUPA one please" Greycie said.
Franky smiled when he heard his catchphrase come out of the girl's mouth. "I'll make the most Supa violin ever and in ...hot pink"
Greycie let go of the shipwright and looked at him with a look of fury.
"I'm joking I'm joking Greycie. Franky tried to laugh it off but Greycie still had her arms crossed against her chest. Franky suddenly had a flashback when Tom once jokingly criticized his work. He remembered how he "accidentally" stubbed his toe the next second and how funny that was to him as a kid. Hoping this would work Franky got the hammer and banged his finger purposely. He hollered in pain and began jumping around holding his uninjured finger hoping the act would work. He heard laughter and saw Greycie red in the face and laughing her head off.
Happy at the reaction he dropped the hammer aiming at his toe. It landed perfectly and he hollered in pain again clutching his foot now hopping around on one foot. Greycie was now on the floor no longer able to stand. He saw everyone poke their heads to see what Greycie was laughing at. Greycie now had tears running down her face as she continued to laugh. Soon everyone was laughing but then Greycie stopped as she tried to catch her breath. She smiled at Franky but then a strong wave hit the ship making it rock. Greycie lost her footing and dangerously swayed to the hard ledge.
Thankfully several hands caught her and held her till the wave passed.
Greycie looked and saw Robin walking towards her; she smiled and ran to her.
"Hi Robin. Guess what Franky is going to make a violin for me and Brooke is going to teach me how to play it." Greycie shared the news to Robin.
Robin smiled and a curious look came across her face "Greycie how old are you"
Greycie tilted her head "Hmm I'll be four soon"
A true smile came across her face and she took the child's hand and guided her away. Greycie waved goodbye to Franky and followed Robin. Robin thought of how when she was a child, books opened an entire new world for her to escape to. She hoped she could pass this treasure to little Greycie. She led Greycie to the ship's library and closed the door so they would not be disturbed. "Greycie would you like to learn how to read" Robin asked with a smile on her face.
Greycie looked at a book that was open on the table and scrunched her nose at all the tiny words. Robin laughed and closed the book and brought out a children's book. Greycie immediately liked that one better. When she saw the cover it showed a girl with a tutu on standing entirely on her toes.
"Oh look Robin that girl has a tutu on too."
"Ahh yes she is a ballerina" Robin added
"I can do that too" Greycie said pointing at the ballerina's feet.
"Let me see" Robin said expecting the child to just stand oh her tiptoes a little.
Greycie took one last look at the picture and holding her hands above her head she stood entirely on her toes making an exact replica of the cover of the book.
Robin's eyebrows shot up in surprise for a moment at the near perfect move.
"So you can Greycie" Robin said smiling covering her surprise. She thought to herself at the next village she would have to buy a book of the history of dance.
"So Greycie how about every other day I will teach you how to read and then I will read to you the history of dance alright."
Greycie nodded her head excitedly and took one last look at the dancer scrunching her face at the pink tutu. Robin brought out another child's book that contained the entire alphabet. Robin the rest of the day began teaching her how to pronounce the alphabet and mesmerizing them.
When her and Robin walked up to the deck Greycie saw the sunset. The day was already over. Greycie out of habit looked for Zoro at the dinner table and remembered he would not be here. She sighed as she sat down next to Robin and hoped Zoro would get better soon. Only one more day.
Hope you enjoyed it and I do apologize that it is so late today I HAD NO INTERNET THE ENTIRE DAY T_T!
