It was saturday morning and Nami was scrambling to get ready for her day at the beach with her new friends. It felt weird to her; She had just met these people the day before and she had been invited to the beach by Luffy. Why did he invite her? What if his friends also thought it was weird that she had been invited right away? What if they don't want her there? Nami was beyond nervous. They seemed to like her when she sat at their lunch table on her first day, but was she moving into their friend group too quickly? Her thoughts were jumping around in her mind, but she tried her best to shake them out of her head. She had already said yes to Luffy and there was no turning back.

***buzzzzbuzzzz***

Nami jumped, but then realized it was just her phone vibrating and sighed.

Text Message

Luffy: Hey! I'll pick you up in five!

Nami: Kay.

Nami grabbed her beach bag and headed downstairs to wait. She shouted goodbye to her mom and headed outside, closing the door behind her. She then hopped down the steps and sat in the lawn chair on the grass.

Nami assumed Luffy and his friends would be picking her up, but when the car pulled up and she saw Luffy in the driver's seat, her jaw almost dropped. For some reason, she just couldn't picture Luffy driving, she didn't know him too well yet...but, still, it was Luffy. I hope I don't die… she thought.

"HEY NAMI!" Luffy welcomed, as she got into the passenger's seat and looked around.

"Hey….wait, where is everyone?" Nami asked, confused.

"They're meeting us there! I wanted to take my car today, but for some reason they don't like it when I drive! I don't get it, shishishi." Luffy said with a grin, totally oblivious to the terrified look on Nami's face.

As Luffy drove, Nami grew more and more terrified. He was the worst driver she'd ever seen. He was fast and reckless, and at one point, he almost drove into oncoming traffic. She couldn't wait for him to stop, for at least a second so she could catch her breath, so when she saw a stop sign, she sighed with relief, until he went to change the radio station and sped right through it, leaving other cars honking behind them.

"LUFFY! YOU JUST RAN A FRIGGIN' STOP SIGN. WHAT THE HELL?" Nami screeched.

"You're supposed to stop at those?" Luffy said with a confused look on his face.

"YES...YES, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO STOP AT THEM, WHY ELSE WOULD THEY SAY STOP?! YOU IDIOT." Nami yelled.

"Ah! I'm sorry, Nami!"

"Don't apologize to me, just focus on the road, for fuck's sake." Nami said with a sigh and crossed her arms.

After five more minutes of driving, Luffy pulled to a stop. Thank god… Nami thought. They got out of the car and headed toward the beach where everyone had already set down their towels and were just relaxing.

"OOOOOOOO, YAY! NAMI-SWWANN'S HERE….and Luffy." Sanji shouted before running up to Nami and getting down on his knees and bowing to her.

"Stop being a creep, shitty cook." said Zoro, who walked over and kicked Sanji, sending him flying in the other direction, "Luffy, Nami." he said nodding at each of them.

Nami walked over to where Vivi and Robin were sitting and set her towel on the ground before plopping down next to them.

"Hey Nami!" said Vivi with a smile. Nami smiled back.

"Wait. Nami, how'd you get here?" asked Robin, "You didn't let Luffy drive you here, did you?"

"Unfortunately, I did."

"Oh, god. I'm so sorry" Vivi laughed, "If I had known you were coming, I would've picked you up! It would've saved you a whole lot of stress!"

Nami noticed all the guys were getting ready to go swimming. She wanted to swim, but decided on getting a nice tan, so she just sat back and watched as the guys one by one started running into the ocean. All except Zoro, who was taking a nap. That is, until Sanji came up and kicked sand in his face.

"That's for attacking me while I was admiring a beautiful woman, stupid swordsman!" shouted Sanji, who was then kicked once again by a sleepy Zoro. Sanji flew into the ocean and Zoro smirked before continuing his nap.

But then Nami looked to her right and noticed Luffy taking off his shirt. She was so stunned. He was super skinny, but not at all did she expect him to have a six pack. Luffy's kinda hot… wait… why did I just think that? Nami thought with a huge blush across her cheeks. As much as she wanted to, she couldn't stop staring in awe. Fortunately, Luffy didn't seem to notice, however, little did Nami know that Robin had been watching her the whole time and had just nudged Vivi with a smirk, getting her in on it as well. Suddenly, Luffy ran into the water with the rest of his friends and Nami turned her attention back to the two girls sitting to her left, who were looking at her with huge grins.

"What?" Nami asked, blush still spread across her face.

"Oh, Nothing." Robin said and continued to read her book.

Nami shrugged and took off the clothes she had covering her swimsuit and began to apply sun tan lotion, then sat back and watched as Usopp, Chopper, Sanji and Luffy played in the water like kids and smiled.

"Hey Nami!" said Vivi, "So, Robin and I were wondering if you'd like to come sleepover at my house tonight! We'd both really like to get to know you better!"

"Sure, sounds like fun!" Nami said with a smile.

Just as Nami laid on her back and closed her eyes, she felt a shadow hovering above her. When she looked up, she wasn't surprised to see Luffy standing over her, smiling at her with his goofy grin.

"Naaaamiiiii," Luffy whined, "Come swimming!"

"Nah." Nami said with a smirk and then closed her eyes again.

Luffy smiled and suddenly leaned down, scooped Nami up and carried her bridal-style to the shore. Nami squirmed and yelled at him to put her down but he just kept walking into the water, getting deeper and deeper until Nami was right above it.

"PUT ME DOWN PUT ME DOWN!" Nami screamed.

"Okay! Shishishi" Luffy said before dropping her into the water, causing her to go under completely. A couple seconds passed and she didn't come up, which made Luffy start to worry.

All of a sudden, she popped out of the water, and jumped on Luffy's back, causing him to stumble backwards, but catch his balance. Unfortunately for Luffy, Nami leaned back as hard as she could without letting go, pulling Luffy under the water with her. She then detached herself and started splashing him as hard as he could. Luffy grinned and scooped her up again, throwing her into the water. They both burst into fits of laughter. They didn't even notice everyone staring at them with confusion. As soon as they stopped laughing, Luffy flashed her his huge smile, but he didn't expect her to look up at him with a smile equally as big.

"You have a really pretty smile, Nami." said Luffy with a soft grin.

Nami blushed, "T-thanks." and quickly walked out of the water and back to her towel, leaving Luffy standing there confused.
