I found myself sent flying backward into a tree, the pain was horrible but I can't say it wasn't expected, I was given a warning after all. The warning I was given was in the form of a cry of 'FAIRYS!' from my captain. Then he came rocketing forward and it was a case of boy meets boy, boys meet tree, boy meets pain. I think I saw a field of flowers but it was probably just my imagination.

"FAIRYS!" Nami and Usopp shouted in worry as they rushed over to me. I have no idea why they were worried...oh right they didn't have identical twins, I guess I must have hit my head pretty hard.

"Fairys are you okay? What's wrong? Who hurt you?" Luffy asked, finally realising my dazed and injured state.

"You did that to him you baka!" Nami shouted punching Luffy over the head.

I almost laughed but sadly I couldn't control any of my body at the moment so I just watched on in amusement at my friends antics. My watching was brought to a hold as I felt myself being picked up and placed gently onto Richie's back. "We should get him back to the ship," Zoro announced.

" 'm f'n" I mumbled out weakly, I don't think they heard me.

"Yeah let's get Sanji to cook him up some meat that should help him," Luffy declared.

"You baka," Nami shouted hitting him once more "he just needs some time to rest, he knocked his head pretty hard."

"But what if it's serious?" Usopp asked. "What if he is brain dead. What if he turns into a zombie so he can look for a new brain."

It was obvious to everyone that Usopp was full of shit. "AWESOME!" well not obvious to everyone, our beloved captain apparently believed it and thought it would be cool if I was in fact a zombie.

"Maybe we should just get Fairys-san back to the ship and into bed?" Vivi asked politely. Ah now I know why she never joined the crew she was too sweet, too polite and too normal for us...guess that means I'm not normal.

"He's not going to turn into a zombie!" Nami shouted punching both Usopp and Luffy over the head. I don't think anyone heard Vivi, poor girl.

"Awww but he'd be so cool as a zombie," Luffy pouted. I would be cool as a zombie wouldn't I? I would be an awesome zombie, too bad I'd rather be a lycan so sorry Luffy i'm not going to turn into a zombie.

"He would have to die first to become a zombie," Zoro pointed out simply.

"WAAAAHHHH DON'T DIE FAIRYS!" Luffy screamed rushing over and shaking me wildly. There's that field of flowers again.

"You idiot we just need to get him some rest," Nami shouted smacking him over the head...wait Nami doesn't have blue hair. Huh I guess Vivi isn't too normal after all.

"Oh okay," Luffy grinned "let's get back to the Merry."

I loved these guys, I really did. Sure they argued over wether or not I would turn into a zombie while I was injured but I still loved them.

Slowly we started off to the Merry, I couldn't wait to spend more time on our lovely ship, I had only spent a few hours on it after all. I hope Merry doesn't hate me, I wouldn't like to piss off our ship after all.

"Who is that lovely mademoiselle?" a voice shouted. It was a voice I knew well, the figure that appeared in front of me I knew well. I was going to kill Sanji.

Zoro gave a small snort "this is Fairys, SHE'S injured so we're going to let HER rest." I'm going to kill Zoro as well.

"Yeah SHE joined the crew around the same time as Zoro," Usopp added. "But then SHE went and trained a bit with Hawkeye." And Usopp, he would die as well.

I caught Nami's evil smirk, I'm going to guess she will die as well. "SHE will need someone to help nurse HER back to health," she added. Yup Nami would die...wait wasn't Nami supposed to be sick by now? She was supposed to pass out or something wasn't she?

I was interrupted from my musings as Sanji picked me up off of Richie's back. "Fair not my lovely Fairy Princess, I your knight Sanji shall nurse you back to health," he declared loudly while groping my ass. ...that' when I'll put the screws under his nails, then ill set his hair on fire and then I'll finally kill him. I was interrupted from my homicidal thoughts by a small twitch in my arm, guess I'll be able to move soon. "Now all of you bastards get out I can't have you barbaric idiots interrupting my lovely Fairy Princess's recovery," Sanji ordered before kicking all of the males out of the ships infirmary...when did we get here? Wait did he just kick Richie out? He did he kicked my lion that bastard. Weakly, while Sanji's back was still to me, I pulled myself up to my feet, stumbled over and placed my hand on his shoulder squeezing with all of my non-existent muscles. "First of all" I growled "do not ever hit my lion again. Second of all" here I moved my hand to the back of his head and slammed it into the wall "I'M A GUY YOU DAMN PERVERT!" I slammed his head into the wall again "AND THAT'S FOR GROPING MY ASS!"

I think I broke him, the cries of 'my innocence," that escaped from his mouth lent belief to my thoughts. However I ignored the pervert's cries and focused instead on the laughter of my dear friends.

"So," I began giving Zoro, Nami and Usopp my sweetest smile "let me show you guys just how much I missed you."

"Learnt your lesson?" I asked the three idiots a few minutes later. I had to admit I may have gone overboard they were covered in scratches and bruises and cowering in fright, not that Zoro would admit it.

They all just nodded fearfully, except Zoro who gave a defiant glare. "Good minions," I smirked. "S-so y-you're a m-man?" came Sanji's tearful voice.

"Yes," I growled, Richie growled as well...I loved my lion.

"YOU BASTARD GIVE ME BACK MY INNOCENCE!" Sanji cried rushing forward and kicking me in the chest.

Maybe it was the shock of the attack or the feeling of having a few ribs crack but I swear I saw that field of flowers again. Weakly, pathetically I pulled myself to my feet and saw that Richie was in front of me growling at Sanji. "Let me make this perfectly fucking clear," I spat "you are the one who groped me, you did it when I couldn't protect myself. What you did was sexual assault. It is all your fucking fault you damn perv."

Sanji tapped his foot against the floor, getting ready to charge. Richie crouched forward ready to leap at the blonde. I drew my gunblade aiming the barrel at Sanji. "Everyone just stop!" our resident princess shouted as she stepped between us.

"Whatever you say Vivi-Chwaan!" Sanji exclaimed twirling over to her side "you are so beautiful when you are worried," kill me now.

I re-sheathed my gunblade and stumbled over to Richie using the lion as support. "Thanks for trying to protect me," in response he just turned his head and gave my face a lick. "Yeah I missed you too," I grinned. "Now do you mind crouching down, I've torn the muscles in my legs, cracked or broken a few ribs and may be concussed right now." Richie did as I asked and then using his head he gently nudged me onto his back "thanks," I whispered gently patting his head.

Looking around at everyone I took in their reactions. Nami and Vivi were glaring angrilly, Usopp and Carue were worried, Zoro looked uninterested, Luffy seemed to find it funny and Sanji was either swooning over Vivi or glaring at me. As the adrenaline from the fight waned away the pain in my ribs, legs and head started to return in full. Wow I was seriously fucked up.

Doing my best to ignore the pain I gazed at everyone and giving a weak smile asked "so we're gonna go kick a warlord's ass...sounds like fun."

Everyone just stared at me blankly for a few seconds before they responded. Luffylaughed excitedly, Zoro grunted in agreement, Nami and Usopp looked terrified, Vivi was confused and Sanji kept glaring at me. "How exactly do you know that?" Vivi asked confused.

I thought about telling them, about telling them that I was from another world, that they were all characters in a story and that I was sent here by some crazed god or deity or something. Hmmmm nah would be too much trouble. "It's a secret," I replied.

"How do we know that you aren't working for Baroque Works then?" Vivi asked warily.

"NO WAY FAIRYS IS OUR FRIEND HE WOULDN'T BETRAY US!" Luffy shouted angrilly.

I gave a small smile, even though he had almost killed me earlier by sending me into a tree it felt good to know Luffy had such faith in me. "There's your answer," I told Vivi simply.

"That's not enough," she said coldly before leaving.

I shrugged sure it sucked to not be trusted but I couldn't actually blame her.

"You bastard why didn't you just answer Vivi-Chwaan, got something to hide?" Sanji asked obviously pissed off.

"Just leave it dartbrow," came Zoro's bored voice.

"What did you cal me mosshead?" Sanji growled, completely forgetting about me. Two seconds later he and Zoro were at each other's throats.

I then turned to Nami, Usopp and Luffy "you aren't going to ask me?" I asked them a little worried about Luffy's response.

"Don't care," Luffy said simply

"You wouldn't tell us anyway,' Nami replied.

"I trust you," was Usopp's response.

"Can you tell us why you won't tell us?" Nami asked curiously.

I thought about it seriously should I tell them that by knowing I could change the future in a way that would end their lives, or stop certain people from joining the crew or should I lie..."It involves top secret Thief Guild intel and while I may no longer be a member of the guild anyone who I tell said info to will be hunted down and executed," I lied.

Only Luffy bought it, well the stars in his eyes and his cry of 'AWESOME" made me believe that he bought it.

"Surely you can come up with something more believable than that," Usopp muttered.

I shrugged "well that's my story and I'm sticking too it. Now if you'll excuse me I promised to spend the rest of the day with Richie and I think he'd prefer being outside in the sun. Come on Richie let's go outside," I urged the lion gently patting his head.

The rest of the day went along well. Sanji announced how he talked to Mr 0 and how he had acquired an eternal pose to Alabasta, that still sounds like it's said with a British accent. Vivi spent her time watching me distrustfully. Luffy tried to get me to join in some games but I had to decline from lack of movement on my part. Usopp told fantastic and untruthful stories of what they had been up to since I last saw them. Nami came and gave me the bill for her clothes, four hundred and eighty beri, Zoro slept, Richie served as my faithful mount not once letting me off of his back and I spet the rest of the day meditating, watching everyone or patting Richie's head. I may have been in extreme pain but it was good to be back with everyone.
