Chapter 2: Cats can't lie!

"Ok where should I go?" Thatch asked still holding onto Sabo and Anne. "Head to the tallest tree, they said. By the way I never got your names, he said. Well your gonna have to wait because then she will get mad, Anne said and then Sabo and her shuddered. 'She?' thatch thought. '… Oh the one who's sick' he concluded. After five minutes of trial and error they made it to the tree house. You're gonna have to be quiet she's asleep, Sabo whispered as they went into their home with Thatch.

'This seems like a house for kids their age,' he thought until he spotted blankets surrounding a girl. As soon as he saw the girl he was worried. The girl was shaking in the bundle of blankets and sweating bullets. She was pale and from the looks of it having a nightmare. She started to whimper at first whenever they went but then the whimpers became screams.

When she started screaming, she woke up sweating and shaking. "Lu," "GET AWAY! LEAVE ME ALONE!" she wailed. "I WANNA GO HOME WITH SABO AND ANNE! STOP FOLLOWING ME!" Thatch was worried to the max, seeing how she was ranting about someone following her, he knew she was delusional from a fever.

"Sabo!" Thatch yelled startling the boy."Y-yes?" he asked. "This isn't any normal cold so why didn't you get any medicine?" he asked. "Well, ha ha ha," he said and started to sweat "I don't know what you're talking about." He turned around mumbling. 'What a horrible liar,' Thatch and Anne thought.

"It's because were broke," Anne said. "Ace right?" thatch asked. "No Anne. Anyway we don't get paid for stuff like that, so we sell any of our animal skins. She,' Anne pointed at Luffy, "got sick so we haven't had any money in a while." Thatch looked at the girl one more time and then he went serious.

"Sabo and Anne! I want you to calm her down," he said. "Y-yes sir," they said and went by the girl. "Lu, hey Lu it's us. Please calm down," Sabo said walking to the girl. "S-Sabo and A-Anne?" she whispered. She rubbed her eyes and started to sniffle when she saw them. 'She's about to cry again,' Anne thought.

"Shhh. Its ok, its ok we're here and we're gonna get you better," she said rubbing her back. "Me n' Sabo are gonna talk about what you saw later okay," she whispered. "M'kay," she replied then she passed out. "Oh god, we fuckin' need to take her to josh!" Thatch yelled. He picked up Luffy bridal style and, with Sabo and Anne on his heels, ran to the ship.

On the way to the ship they saw Marco/Pineapple head on the way. "NO TIME TO TALK, TAKEING A KID TO SEE JOSH!" he yelled running faster. They finally made it to the ship when thatch saw josh who was talking to Haruta. "OH THANK THE LORDS!" thatch yelled, falling face first to the floor, stretching his arms out though to keep Luffy safe.

They started to sweat seeing his reaction, until Haruta saw a boy and a girl break down crying. They were about to see what's wrong when they just pointed to the blankets. "Oi, Thatch what the hell did you do this time," she yelled. She went to go calm them down while Josh actually looked at the blankets. He fell on the ground, getting weird looks from the crew, and looked like he saw a ghost. "Oh damn," he muttered.

"Izo I want you to carry the girl to the infirmary, and find Selma!" he yelled. "Thatch you should be fuckin' grateful! The girl could've died in three days!" he yelled running to the infirmary. Sabo started to cry even harder and Anne ran after them. "Mister Doctor! Okama!" she screamed, getting killing intent off of Izo, they turned around. "Is my sister gonna be alright?"

she asked tears in her eyes. Izo handed Luffy to josh and saw him run to the infirmary, while he squatted down to her height. "She's going to be perfectly fine. After all we have the best doctors on hand," he said. "That's good to hear," she smiled the fainted in his arms. Izo took her to the infirmary, laid her on a bed then left.

[Two weeks later]

"Is she alright?"

"Does she look alright?!"

"This is all my fault."

"Don't blame yourself. You didn't know."

"Look1 she's wakening up!"

"Shut up!"

She woke up felling like she went through another one of Garp's 'training'. She rubbed her eyes for a while until she realized she was surrounded and started to panic. "Lu! Calm down, they're just friends," Anne said knowing she was about to scream. "A-Anne," she whispered and saw her walk up to her. "Hey Luff, you hungry?"

Sabo asked going to the other side of the bed. "No, I'm fine," she said but her stomach did a growl that lasted for five minutes. "I'll take that as a yes," he said and everyone started to laugh. "Shut up!" she yelled getting embarrassed. "Well I guess its food first then intro, right Lu?" Anne asked. "Mm!" she said and they all went to the dining hall to get food.
