A/N:
So, I have updated again. See? I told you it wouldn't take as long as last time. ^~^
I loved to hear all the amazing feedback from the last chapter, and I have made time to put out another one!
Again. If you don't like swearing, please don't read this..! x3

This…maybe wasn't one of the best idea's I've ever had.
No screw that –it's the exact opposite.
I didn't exactly think through what would happen once I had dived into the ocean, but seeing as my swimming skills were that of a brainless walrus, I was sure to die a quick and freezing death.
It wasn't so bad.
I mean after-all, it could be worse.
I could have continued spending time in 'drug-topia' with the 'Straw Hat' crew-that would have been the worst situation possible.
I have had a decent life. I have been fed, I have had shelter and I had company almost 24 hours a day. -If you include the extremely friendly Animated Character's which I spent half my life with-.
So if this was my time to go, let it be. I liked that I went out with a bang-that I escaped from this hallucinated world instead of sitting in a mental clinic with dribble hanging from my mouth.
But that didn't mean I liked drowning.
Spluttering out the water which kept floating into my mouth, I continued to flail my arms about. The waves which seemed to be happily bouncing along before were now taking me of my only breath, trying it's best to grab a hold of my ankle and drag me down below.
Doesn't sound very appealing, does it? But I didn't have any other choice, so I decided to stop trying to stay afloat, –Because frankly, I was failing. Miserably- and accept my fate, however much I disagreed with it.
Before I fully went under though, a splash erupted next to me, revealing the 'red' man himself. Before I had time to show my surprise however, I blacked out.
I don't know how long exactly I was out for, but when I was to wake up, I was expecting to see blinding halo's sitting on top of fluffy baby angels.
Instead, I got Sanji.
A Sanji desperately trying to give me mouth to mouth resuscitation while Nami screamed at him to stop.
"…"
…One does not prepare for such sights.
Screaming, I jumped up from the ground, instantly hitting my head with Sanji's and flying back onto the floorboards.
"Ow.." I mumbled, patting my head with a wince.
"She's awake!" A joyful voice proclaimed, causing me to look his way.
Meeting the sight of a soaking wet straw-hat wearer, my mind instantly clicked together. "No." I bluntly stated, making the surrounding people to look my way curiously.
"No?" The joyful voice-who turned out to be Luffy- said less enthusiastically, a confused look in his eyes.
"No. You're not real."
Jumping back, Luffy's eyes widened gullibly. "I'm not real?!"
"Yup. You're all just a figment of my imagination."
Another voice broke through the conversation, my eyes narrowing as I saw the previously-missing swordsman. "-Great. Another insane person."
"The truly unique people in this world are the ones that will achieve their dreams." I said poetically, making Zoro turn away with a sigh. Luffy instantly ran up to me, his eyes shining.
"Where did you hear that?"
Proudly crossing my arms over my chest, I let out a slightly-evil-maybe-not-so-much laugh, my head facing the sky. "I just made it up."
Hearing the rest of the crew sigh, I grew a smirk. However, Luffy didn't seem to think the same way. "…Awesome!"
The previously knocked out Sanji mumbled, standing up from where he had 'fallen' and making his way over to me. "Indeed it is, Mademoiselle." Holding out his hand for me to stand up, I looked at him curiously, taking his hand.
"..Thanks." I barely mumbled out, now standing amongst a younger looking Straw Hat Crew.
As far as I could tell, there was Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Usopp and a Sanji standing in front of me, all staring at me like I was wearing three-heads.
"Wasn't I...in the sea?" I asked, making the irritated -why was she irritated?- Nami sweatdrop.
I only asked her a question.-Yeah sure, it's a question someone doesn't ask everyday, but no need to give me that glare.
I already have way too many troubles on my list to add your name.
"Yes! You were! Because for some reason-even after we saved you- you decided to jump into the sea." Placing her hand on her forehead, Nami turned away, tiredly walking over to the rails.
"Why did you jump into the sea?" Luffy innocently asked, tilting his head to the side.
Gulping, I sheepishly looked away. "Because I...wanted to?" 'No, it was because I know you from a TV show at home, and at home, rubber men and pirates don't exist. Neither do you.'
Like I could answer with that.
Instead, I got even more confused looks -even from Luffy this time-, before a yell was sounded from Nami.
"Hey, everyone! I think I see it!"
This instantly got the crew's attention off from me, as they all rushed over to the rail to see what Nami was yelling about.
In the distance, there was cliff.
-And no. Not just any cliff. I could easily tell it from any of the others if you were to show me a picture or the video itself.
So seeing it in person, made me want to glance at the very inviting water once again.
"H-How are we supposed to get up that?!" Looking over to the frightened Usopp, I grinned slightly, knowing this scene too well.
"I-I've heard about this..." Nami replied, quickly gathering her things over a nearby table with a frown. "When they said that the entrance was a mountain, I thought they were lying...but-." Her words faltering, she once again briefly glanced to the cliff, her eyes widening.
Finding that I wouldn't need to be knowing any of the conversation, I slipped away from the group, making my way over to the rail with a deep sigh.
"I am fucked." I bluntly said to myself, a tired look passing through my eyes.
Totally and royally fucked.
What was I supposed to do now? The only thing I had on me was my clothes-and they were just my ordinary Good 'MOO'ning pajamas.
-Not like anything else would help me right now. After-all, I highly doubt there would be a phone signal or 3G just waiting out here in the ocean.
Inside an anime.
-In my head.
Instantly hitting my forehead with a humph, I pouted. "Okay." I reassured myself, thinking back to the many dream-state coma-induced romance-but-not-too-cheesy movies I have watched in my life, trying to remember how the main character woke up.
1-Going for my old favorite, I held out my arm, hesitantly pinching it tightly.
"OW!-Kay...Nope." That didn't work.
2-Something that I normally did to wake up during studies.
Recovering from the harshly pinched arm, I lifted it up to my hair, tugging on it heavily.
"OW SHI!-Okay...Nope again."
3-One that I am not to 'keen' on- Imagine old Lady Kokoro (my favorite example) naked.
Instantly I reached for my eyes, shaking my head like there was no tomorrow. "Nope!Nonononononononononono-"
4-Looking up towards the mast a few feet away from me, my eyebrow rose.
"Hey..." I muttered out, stumbling forward slightly. "Maybe If I jump off th-"
Cutting off my words, an un-expected elastic arm reached out to me, pulling me off the rails and crashing into the bearer of the elastic arm.
Letting out a very unattractive scream, I once again fell to the ground. Swinging my head up, I was faced with the still-innocently-grinning Monkey D. Luffy, who took one look at me before looking back to his crew.
"Okay! Let's go!"
Nami was the first to speak, which instinctively made me twitch. "We cant just bring her along! We're going to the Grand Line!-What if she doesn't want to? That would be the same as kidnapping!"
Hearing this, Luffy instantly looked down to me, his face blank and blunt. "Do you want to go to the Grand Line?"
Blinking, I stared back at Luffy with the same blanked out face, my mind thinking of the other options. Ignoring the shouts from Nami saying 'You can't just ask someone that!', I bluntly stated back to Luffy, getting across I couldn't give either way.
After-all, I was sure to wake up soon enough.
-Right?
"Sure."
Hearing the slight fainting noise coming from both Nami and Usopp, I hesitantly smirked, reminding myself of what the hell I got myself into.
"Right, it's settled. Onto the Grand Line!"
Oh please God, let me be right.
