Title: I'm Here

Characters/Pairing(s): Luffy&Nami

(Pre/Post) Time Skip: Post Time Skip

Nami tried her best to release herself from his grip, but he had a tight grasp on her wrist. She was being dragged against her will as soon as they landed on an island. Apparently, something caught Luffy's attention the he just had to bring her along.

"Luffy! Will you stop! You're hurting me!"

"We're almost there!"

The place was slowly starting to get crowded with people, mainly families. There were balloons and streamers everywhere. She could see a huge castle-like structure in the direction they were heading to. The closer they got, the closer she got a look at it. It wasn't just a castle, it was a haunted house.

"NO!" Nami screamed. "I'm not going in there!"

Luffy stopped in his tracks. "Why not? It'll be fun! I'm here anyway."

"No! I don't want to! Thriller Bark was scary enough as it was!"

"But that was real zombies! These are just fakes!"

"No!"

Although Nami had her strong fists to persuade Luffy into doing anything she wanted him to do, it didn't work this time. In some way, he got her to come, probably by using force.

While they were inside, it was completely dark. Everyone inside could hear a girl's horrified scream or the sound of a chainsaw. The people in costumes may not be real monsters like they encountered in Thriller Bark, but however Nami looked at it, they looked just as scary. In other words, this haunted house was more intense than she anticipated.

On another note, Luffy was having the time of his life. He was having so much fun that he didn't even notice that Nami wasn't by his side anymore.

"This is so much fun! Aren't you glad you came along, Nami?" When she didn't respond, Luffy realized he wasn't holding onto her hand anymore. "Nami!"

The sound of another girl's scream was heard. Flashes of light turned on and off rapidly, messing with Luffy's vision. Without any thoughts to move forward, Luffy ran back. Oddly enough, the people in costumes weren't around. But the further he ran, he saw mostly all of them piling onto someone on the ground.

"Get away!"

Luffy pulled them back one by one until he saw Nami on the ground covering her head which was between her knees as to shield herself.

"Nami."

The navigator looked up, revealing rapid tears streaming down her face. Luffy sighed. He lightly touched her forehead with hers to comfort her.

"I told you I'm here, didn't I? So what have you got to be worried about?"

Fluffiness everywhere -.-
