Laboon!
& Whiskey Peak!
{No POV}
After calming down a bit Luffy got excited and Zoro was impressed before clinkkng barrels of Sake with Mia.
Mia was amused but didnt bother herself about it as she returned her attention to her book after quickly downing her barrel.

Nami and Usopp however freaked out, Nami more than Usopp while Sanji pouted before rejoicing with the help of Usopp's word.
Mia then finished her final book as Luffy spoke.
"Let's head to the GrandLine!" Said Luffy.
"Yes Captain." Said Mia with a smile.
Soon reaching Loguetown, the Straw Hats docked and got off the ship after preparing to resupply and journey the GrandLine.
Mia being over-prepared as always was carrying an enourmous bag of money which shocked Nami since she couldn't figure out where the hell Mia had even hidden that much treasure without Nami finding it when she stole the ship and took it to Arlong Park.
"Where were you even hiding that enormous bag of money anyways?" Asked Zoro sweat dropping at the sight of Mia carrying it as if it was nothing.
"I've been keeping it on my person at all times. You guys just didn't notice because you never paid enough attention to see it. The only time I ever took it off was when I was being a temporary waitress at the Baratie and to fight Arlong or Rescue Luffy from the bottom of the ocean." Mia explained calmly.
"Think you can lend me some for some swords?" Asked Zoro.
"Sure, just know i'll charge you 300% interest." Mia said calmly putting some money in Zoro's hand before running into the town.
She eventually reached the book stores and bought a month's worth of books. Then she got peckish and hit up a restaurant eating it dry before heading to a grocery store right across from it to buy plenty herself a barrel's worth of Sake.
After paying for the liquor she went to leave only for her bag to hit a very tall display of some kind of canned food when suddenly Sanji with the help of a black haired girl with blue eyes who was working there cleaned it up in seconds.
"Sorry about that..." Mia said sheepishly.
"You need to be careful Mia-swama! Had anybody been standing by here someone could have gotten seriously hurt! Especially you!" Sanji said.
The girl laughed at his antics.
"You're so thoughtful and caring! I wish I had friends like you..." She said.
"What do you mean? Don't you have any nakamas?" Asked Mia.
The girl smiled sadly and shook her head no.
"See, my parents died when I was young in a terrible storm. They were pirates as far as I know, but they had left me here so I could be safe. People around here don't like pirates all that much. Especially not people my age, so I don't really have any friends. The only thing I can do right around this town that pays enough for me to survive is clean. But I wish more than anything I could travel the seas with friends that will care about me just as I'd care about them. I'm sure it'll happen someday. But for now this seems to be it for me." The girl said.
She paused and blushed in embarrassment.
"Oh goodness, i'm so ruce! My name is Mace Rena! What are yours?" Asked Rena as they left since her boss fired her.
"My name is Sanji, pleasure to make your aquaintance, Rena-chwan!" Introduced Sanji.
Mia smiled.
"My name is Tempest D. Mia! It's nice to meet you!" Mia introduced herself.
And with that the trio traveled together merrily. The entire time, Sanji doted on and only noticed Rena.
Which wasn't unnoticed by Mia and eventually Nami and Usopp, and of course Zoro and Luffy as Rena joined their crew as they left Loguetown in the midsts of a crazy storm and headed straight for the GrandLine.
Mia stood her ground with Nami helping her Navigate since she could read the ocean even during such a large storm.
Rena was currently aiding Usopp in keeping the rudder the way it needed to be and in repairing damage taken to the ship. Sanji and Zoro working on following instructions with the sails and other parts of the ship that came from Nami and Mia. Luffy keeping alert on stand by making sure that everything went as smoothly as possible.
"Nami! Do you see that?!" Mia asked excitedly.
Nami nodded exitedly.
"Yeah! We were right! The entrance is by going up Reverse Mountain!" She answered.
They cheered until the ship began to go slightly off course. Immediately Mia sprung into action.
"Hold on tight everyone! Luffy! Be ready to use your Gum Gum Balloon to make sure we don't crash into those pillars! On my count!" Mia shouted out getting into stance.
Her arms stretched up above her head and her hands curved inwards halfway.
"Now!" She shouted a few seconds later.
Water suddenly turning into a medium sized large hand that grabbed the ship and threw them through the air and right to the entrance slightly curved in aim, they almost crashed but Luffy immediately used Gum Gum Balloon to straighten them out.
Once past the pillars and on the current they all turned to Mia who seemed very tired.
And then... something they didn't believe possible happened...
She passed out...
They immediately rushed to her side and took her inside to the infirmary and tried to figure out what happened to her.
"Wait..." Spoke up Usopp as a thought hit him.
"In the past, she's controlled the ocean water but never this much and typically only in her water form...could she have over exerted herself by controlling it in her human form since she's not water when she's human and can be hated by the ocean?" Usopp questioned.
"That's not...No...It could be... I've never seen this happen to her, but she did pass out shortly after getting Luffy out of the ocean when he fell in after his fight with Krieg." Said Sanji pensively.
"If she knew that she'd be weakened considerably and did it anyway, there must be a good reason..." Zoro agreed.
Sanji nodded and agreed with him for once.
"For now we should all wait for her to wake up on her own. Sanji-kun could you please make some food for her. Not too heavy, something light. I'll stay behind and clean her up while you guys all work on making sure the ship and its course are still alright. It'd be best if we weren't too trusting of the seas now that we've passed the entryway to the GrandLine." Rena said with a smile.
They all immediately nodded and left the two girls alone so Rena could clean her up properly and in peace.
Once she finished Rena gently brushed out Mia's tangled hair.
"You are such a reckless person Mia-san." She said to the sleeping girl.
Then Sanji came in with a soft knock and placed the food down on the counter in the room that was wasnt filled with medical tools.
"Still sleeping, is she?" Sanji asked softly.
Rena nodded a tear escaping her before shecould stop it.
"Sorry about that... I don't mean to be a crybaby." Rena said.
Sanji then hugged her soothingly.
"It's okay to be concerned. She is like an older sister to us all. Even Luffy thinks of her as an older sister." Sanji said.
"That's good to know. I thought it'd be too weird if I ever admitted I think of all of you as being younger siblings to me." Mia suddenly said sitting up and smiling.
"You two should just kiss already...It's clear you love each other deeply. Anyway's I think i'll eat my snack in the deck. The room is yours just no sex on the bed please! That's for injured and wounded only. I don't need sweat and sex fluids on the bed where the sick or injured are mean to recover." Said Mia grabbing the tray and walking out with a mischevious knowing smile and a wink.
Making her two friends blush red before Sanji took his older sister figure's advice and kissed Rena on the lips chastely and left the room blushing. The poor girl awkwardly and robotically following soon after.
When they finally came up to the deck, they saw the gigantic whale and Mia smirking at them as Luffy attacked the Whale. And then silence, as they were then suddenly eaten excluding Luffy who had been on top of the whale and went inside of it through a door.
After a while they all found themselves face to face with Crocus who was staring curiously at Mia.
"You there! Girl! You look a lot like someone I once knew! What's your name?" Asked Crocus.
"That's a bit rude! First tell me your name if you're going to ask for mine!" She said pausing briefly before speaking again.
"My name is Tempest D. Mia. Sagittarius. No known birthday. Age 20." Mia said to the man.
The crew gaped before Nami hit her upside the head.
"You don't need to say all that!" Scolded Nami.
They all laughed along with Mia.
"Tempest? I used to know a woman that looked a lot like you but had raven black hair! She used to be a fellow doctor on the ship I worked on years ago. But that was twenty one years ago. She suddenly up and vanished after talking with the Captain of that ship one day, her husband who had blonde hair and that same smile you have also vanished. Never saw them again. Do you happen to know anyone like that?" Crocus said to Mia.
Mia surprised but not really caring answered.
"No, I've never even met my parents. I was abandoned by my parents when I was only a baby. I was left on the streets and survived only because a couple living in the worst part of the Island I grew up in took me in and cared for me out of pity until I was 5 years old when they killed themselves. I have no family to speak of. The only reason I have a name is because I was left with a note stating just that one thing." Mia revealed causing even her friends to be shocked.
"I see...I apologize for bringing back bad memories if I did. My name is. Crocus, Gemini, June 4th is my birthday, age 71. Pleasure to meet you he said continuing his pattern of taking his time to answer.
Mia smiled kindly.
"I can feel the whale is calmer by the way it's stomach acid is steady and calm. Are you a doctor?" Mia asked politely.
"Yes, but i'm retired. I met Laboon, the whale, years ago and I've been taking care of it for years now." Answered Crocus after a little while.
After a little while more of talking and Luffy defeating Miss Wensday and Mr 9, The Straw Hats sat with Crocus on the cape while Luffy went up and sat on Laboon painting their mark on his scars. As they talked about the need for a log pose Luffy revealed he had taken the one belonging to Miss Wensday and Mr 9 that they had dropped on their ship, while Mia kept quiet about the one she'd stolen from a store in Loguetown from another pirate crew along with said crew's treasure and sake.
Mia was NOT trying to be secretive for any particular reason.
She just didn't want Luffy to know of it's existence and ruin their only back up Log Pose in case of anything happening to their newest log pose. She was originally going to tell them of hers when Luffy, Usopp and Rena accidentally broke the one Crocus had given them, but kept quiet of it when Luffy pulled out the one belonging to Miss Wensday and Mr 9.
She also didn't bother to tell them Miss Wensday was Princess Vivi Nefertari of Alabasta Kingdom because it seemed she was undercover and Mia was not about to be the reason a Princess gets murdered.
Mia just didn't get involved in said things because it wasn't her place.
Of course there was once a time when she did get involved in somebody's business in the person involved's place aside from the Arlong Park incident.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- Flashback _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
{No POV}
A young 10 year old Mia sat on one of the sturdiest branches of a tree in the mountain of Dawn Island observing silently three boys who were surrounding a secret hole in the ground with a lot of treasure in it.
She was curious about them because they seemed very intriguingly different yet interacted as brothers by the sound of their conversation. It was an interesting occurrence to her and she was intrigued on seeing their interactions and how they communicate. As if they were her little lab subjects.
She then saw a bandit skulk closer to the trio and feeling the need to observe them a bit more, she quietly snuck away from the scene and took down the bandit by drowning him in the nearby body of water.
Of course, she refrained from killing so that she could have some real fun later in the day.
So with that she headed back to where the trio was quietly and observed them for a while longer before making her exit to her cave as it would be a ways away even from the tree she had been lounging on.
Soon forgetting all about the encounter.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- Flashback Over -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
Her mind shaken from it's thoughts a consistent poke on her left shoulder she looked to her left to see Zoro signaling he wanted to speak with her privately.
So they went to the infirmary, since she had made it soundproof after picking up Miss Wensday and Mr 9.
"So what do you think about all this? You were pretty quiet..." Zoro asked leaning against the wall adjacent to the chair that Mia had immediately sat on.
"They are obviously up to something although the girl isn't really interested in it. She's undercover. It's not obvious to anyone except Nami and myself since we've gone undercover in the past to rob people blind. But maybe Luffy might've noticed. I wasnt really paying much attention. Usopp, Sanji, Rena and Mr 9 are the only ones that as far as I could tell haven't really noticed anything." Mia answered truthfully.
Zoro looked at her curiously.
"What had someone as observant as you so distracted?" Said Zoro causing her to think back to the past for a moment.
'Who are you? And why are you so distracted?!' Asked the temperamental boy.
'That doesn't really matter does it? I was just busy reading up in that tree and now i'm heading back home.'
'Do you live in the villege?' Asked the youngest.
Young Mia shook her head no and pointed to the mountain.
'I live there. I should go now. Be careful or you might just die there are pirates on the Island that are staying in the terminal.' Said young mia to the boys before leaving to her home at last.
Mia smiled nostalgically as she returned her attention back to the present.
"Just got lost in memories...I'll probably get over them after I take a nice hot bath. Keep an eye out when we get to Whiskey Peak. I'm sure there will be Mayhem. I can hold my liquor so once its night we can investigate this island." Mia said seriously before standing up.
Zoro taking the hint waved and left the room, allowing Mia to leave the room right after he did heading to the women's quartes for some clothes.
She then left the room and headed to the bathroom locking the door behind her and started the bath. As she removed her clothes her scars on her back and the one between her breasts got revealed. Turning to the mirror she saw them and remembered.
'Die you filthy brat! I'm busy drinking!' Shouted a rugged man with a black goatee and black disheveled hair throwing alchohol on her back and lighting it with his lighter.
A young Mia screamed in pain and rushed out to the stream nearby to put out the flame.
A young mia tried to speak up in concern at the black haired woman that looked as if she was just skin and bones that was cutting herself but was cut off by the woman slashing her in the chest with the dagger vertically between what would one day be plentiful breasts.
'Shut the help up you stupid brat! Get the hell out of here! We don't want you here anymore! You were our charity case! Can't you see your bothering me when i'm trying to cut myself?!' Said the woman.
Mia then ran once more to the stream, crying from the pain, to heal her wounds, only this time, she heard gun shots and went back only to find the corpses of the people that looked after her a gun in the hand of the man and a cleaver in the hands of the cut in half woman.
So, young Mia ran and ran with her things in a sack she dragged behind her until she found an empty cave and took shelter there.
Mia looked away her expression unreadable and turned off the tap, getting into the tub immediately once it was off.
Mia looked at the hot water surrounding her naked body and played with it using her devil fruit powers recalling the day she saw said fruit floating in the water momentarily before she snatched it up and ate it after deciding she was too hungry to care what kind of food she ate.
She then chuckled before remembering a pretty song she had created back then to help her sleep at night and she hummed it to calm her racing mind.
Of course the song itself had funny memories attached to it. Since it was one she sang when she stole from the Kingdom on Dawn Island.
After a while she showered properly and then dressed in one of her new outfits that she had purchased.
It was pretty simple.
A spaghetti strap crop top and a pair of pants the clerk at the store said were called skinny jeans because they were meant to be against the skin from the top of it to the end of the legs. All of it. She had tried them on and found she liked the feel of them so she bought them.
She looked at her reflection in the mirror closely before deciding she'd grab and put on her new leather jacket that would cover the rest of her back that showed even with the high waisted jeans she now wore. For shoes she just put on simple ankle height black socks and her combat boots.
She wasn't particularly self-conscious of her body, but she didn't want to deal with all the questions about the scars on her skin just yet.
Of course, luck wasnt on her side because the moment she exited the bathroom and made to go to the Women's Quarters she was immediately stopped by Rena, Usopp and Luffy who were looking for her to take her to the pub where the rest of the crew was at.
Obviously, with her luck her back had been facing them and they all saw the scarred back.
"Mia, what happened to your back?" Asked Rena and Usopp shocked and horrified.
"Who did that to you?!" Questioned Luffy angrily calling the attention of the other crew members that had decided to see what had been taking them so long.
Everyone asked in different ways and emotions before Mia sighed awkwardly and signaled them to shut up as she turned around.
"It was when I was five. The couple that raised me wasn't nice or caring. They were abusive. Also, dont give me any sympathy or pity or anything, that's exactly why I refused to wear anything that showed my back without a jacket to cover what couldnt be covered with the outfit. One day the man threw alchohol on my back and lit my back on fire. It hurt like hell but I managed to get away with only first and second degree burns since I put the fire out in time. I also have another scar between my breasts from the woman slashing me with a dagger there. It was a long time ago, I've moved on from it but getting pity or sympathy wherever I go isn't my cup of tea so i just cover them." Mia said nonchalantly.
Then they all let her finally go and put on her jacket soon leaving back to the pub with her a lot calmer and back to being their usual selves with her and without her.
They partied with the people of Whiskey Peak as if there was no tomorrow. Of course Nami, Zoro and Mia were acting as if they knew nothing was wrong when they were being very alert. Eventually once they managed to convince the people they were all out cold and they were left alone the three stopped asking and Nami then split off to steal all the treasure and money the now identified threat bounty hunters.
So Zoro and Mia went out and began to take down Bounty Hunters left and right.
When Luffy awoke to go to the bathroom and spotted some of the people of the Island almost out cold he asked what happened and was immediately told that the sight was caused by the swordsman and the swordswoman of his crew.
He got angry but then remembered a conversation he'd had with Mia after they had finally gotten Nami to officially join the crew.
'Captain?'
'Yeah Mia?'
'If you ever find out that i've done something horrible to some people, keep in mind that I never do anything without a good reason...'
'What does that have to do with anything?'
She laughed, 'Just promise me to try and always keep that in mind. Knowing our crew and how gullible some of us are, we're bound to run into those kinds of situations from time to time when we finally enter the GrandLine. I figured avoiding future conflict within our ranks would be better than letting things happen.'
'Alright, I promise. Just promise to always explain to me your reason when I find you.'
'I promise Captain.'
Luffy then glared down at the man whose collar he had been holding before said man passed out.
Then he began his search for Zoro and Mia.
'If Mia took part in this mess, than Zoro must have the same reason. Since he is almost as smart as Mia. But what could be the reason?' Luffy asked himself.
Then he found them fighting two people that seemed kind of strong and protecting Miss Wensday.
"ZORO! MIA! WHY DID YOU HURT THE PEOPLE OF THIS TOWN?!" He shouted calling their attention.
"They are bounty hunters for a criminal organization of bounty hunters known as Baroque Works. They lure you in with the hospitality and then they get rid of you collecting your bounty soon after. They tried and get rid of us." Zoro said frantic.
"Yes, and these particular two are trying to kill Miss Wensday, or well Her Highness Princess Vivi Nefertari of Alabasta. Since she infiltrated their ranks with Igaram aka Mr 8 and learned things she appearantly shouldnt have." Mia finished calmly.
Luffy let his hair shadow his eyes and then made quick work of Miss Valentine and Mr 5 before turning to them with a grateful smile.
"Now it makes a lot more sense! Thanks for looking out for all of us guys!" Said Luffy.
Zoro and Mia smiled.
"Of course!" Mia said.
"No problem!" Zoro said.
Then Vivi spoke up and told them what was going on with Baroque Works and Alabasta as Igaram and Nami came over to them looking for them.
"I could get you the best protection around if you agree to pay us good money and allow Mia-san to get all the books she wants. Oh and also if you give Mia-san any medicines she needs to restock on for our journey." Said Nami.
The others shurgged at each other with a smile.
'She'll do it anyways.' They all thought at once.
Then Vivi explained that she's unsure of exactly what the kingdom will be able to pay but that she's more than willing to accept the other conditions as it's a civil war so the country's economy isn't exactly favorable.
The Nami agreed and turned to the three who just shrugged with a knowing grin.
The stronger hunters surrounded them and Mia smirk signaling that she could handle it.
As approched the oncoming enemies she began her little tune. Doing her take downs with grace and style as well as humor.
Gotta keepOne jump ahead of the breadlineOne swing ahead of the swordI steal only what I can't afford
"That's Everything!" She said cheekily racing onto another rooftop being followed by 10 more enemies.
One jump ahead of the lawmenThat's all, and that's no jokeThese guys don't appreciate I'm broke
She then began to steal the wallets and valuables of every single enemy she had already taken down and passed them all effortlessly to Nami who got Berris for eyes at all the presents.
I can take a hint, gotta face the facts
You're my only friends guys!
She finished as she effortlessly landed on another rooftop taking down and stealing from 15 more enemies tossing the stolen goods to Nami.
Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat
Tell you all about it when I got the time!
Then she jumped up in a split and took down two enemies by kicking them in the face and cut down a third one.
One jump ahead of the slowpokes
Down went two more enemies.
One skip ahead of my doom
Down went four more.
Next time gonna use a nom de plume
She sang as she kicked another enemy out cold.
One jump ahead of the hitmen
Two more.
One hit ahead of the flock
Another three with a roundhouse kick to their chests knocking them out cold.
I think I'll take a stroll around the block
She sang as she led the last three that had weird swords made of something not Iron, but she was just playing them as far as the audience below could tell.
"Let's not be too hasty~" She sang to her enemies.
"Give it up now lady~" They sang on key.
"Nice voices fellas, but..." She said with a confident smirking pointing to the ground below their feet which was crumbling away.
Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat
Otherwise we'd get along
She sang as she back to the rooftop only to be surrounded by twenty five more enemies.
One jump ahead of the hoofbeats
Five more.
One hop ahead of the hump
Five more.
One trick ahead of disaster
Five more.
They're quick, but I'm much faster
Five more.
Here goes, better throw my hand in
The last five went down with a roundhouse punch to the gut that didn't knock them out and joined the few that had previously fallen to ground level and were knocked out cold at last.
Wish me happy landin'
All I gotta do is jump!
As she finished the last lines she jumped off the roof elegantly and flawlessly landing in front of their group taking a short little bow as they all clapped.
"Are they still alive?" Asked Igaram in shocked.
"Yeah, I made sure not to hit any vitals. Don't worry." Mia said confidently as the bounty hunters all groaned at once in pain.
"Love the tune! It's so fun!" Nami complimented.
"Outdid yourself taking down those guys! Great work!" Complimented Zoro.
"Yeah! That was awesome!" Agreed Luffy with stars for eyes.
Mia then frowned.
"No time to waste. We need to gather all this up and get everyone back to the ship. The reinforcements of the two you knocked out are going to be here in probably 30 minutes or less so we best get moving to Alabasta. Before-" She saidpausing as she saw a cat drawing pictures of them.
Then she beat them to a bloody pulp.
"Go ahead and tell your boss we're coming straight for him!" Mia instructed the animals quickly obeying as they didn't wish to die.
"They've got our pictures but we can take down Baroque Works. If they're anything like Mr 5 and Miss Valentine, hell even if they are stronger than that 10 fold we can still take them all down. If we follow my strategies of course." Mia said to them with a smirk.
"Totally! You're strategies are the best!" Said Luffy.
"So you'll be taking advantage of the memories of Mr 5 and Miss Valentine to make a strategy?" Zoro asked.
Mia nodded.
"Exactly. So far there's only one enemy I want only me and the Captain to take on together. And that's Mr 0." Said Mia grimly as they went to quickly gather their sleeping crewmates. Mia carrying a protesting Sanji and Rena.
"Mr.0 is a Warlord of The Sea, the one known as Crocodile. He has Devil Fruit Powers and believe me he very much knows how to use them. His partner won't be an Issue for us. But he definitely will be problematic. The only ones that could take him down are the Captain and I. It won't be easy though. I saw a Marine ship heading towards Alabasta. Meaning the Marines will be there so we'll have to lie low as much as possible all of us." Said Mia grimly.
"What are you guys talking about?!" Exclaimed the angry crewmates that had been forced back to the ship.
Miss All Sunday appeared on the ship as they sailed from the Island, Igaram having gone off on his own to distract the enemies.
Mia smirked at her.
"Miss All Sunday, is it?" Asked Mia amused.
"At least for now...If you guys would like I can drop the title sooner if you accept this Eternal Pose to Alabasta." Miss All Sunday said amused as well.
"It's good to see you again... But we won't accept any help from the enemy. No matter what. We'll get there on our merits." Said Mia.
Miss All Sunday sighed.
"Fair Enough, I'll take my leave for now... Though I doubt it'll be long before we meet again, Mia-san..." Said the woman.
"You too... Robin-chan..." Mia said to her.
Miss All Sunday then left with a tip of her hat.
"You know her?" Asked Luffy.
Vivi seemed pissed.
"Yes, I met her some time back when I had to travel to another Island in the East Blue to get away from some nasty enemies the kept finding me and followed me back to my only safe haven in the Island. I spent some time there and met Robin-chan there. We immediately got along since we have a lot in common personality wise. But eventually I had to go back to our home Island and she had to go back on the run from Marines and Pirates alike." Mia said with a warm smile turning to Vivi.
"Princess. I know what you're thinking right now, and I can assure you both assumptions are wrong. I am not secretly in league with Baroque Works, I only know of them because I do try and stay in touch with Robin-chan now and again secretly that's how I know who Mr 0 is. Because she's told me. As for the assumption about Robin, Miss All Sunday if you will, her? Being evil enough to destroy Alabasta? Not a chance in hell and back. Her own home was destroyed with the push of a single button, she'd never allow herself to be or be part of such a thing." Mia explained with a small smile.
"I-I'm sorry... I didn't mean-..." Vivi said remorseful for her own thoughts.
"It's alright...I can understand your reasons and concerns that made you assume such things. Being a leader or any kind is not an easy task much less when it's being the leader of an entire kingdom. I do not mind it and I assure Robin will not ever mind it either. She's understanding of your situation." Mia said giving Vivi a warm, caring and gentle hug.
Everyone who saw the interaction watched Mia in amazement as a glow and aura surrounded her as she spoke. Her eyes shined with care and endearment, and her smile was as radiantly beautiful as what they could imagine to be an Angel's smile. Her hair framing her face beautifully only making the sight more beautiful.
Vivi then cried in Mia's arms into the woman's chest, sobbing frantically.
"Just let it all out Vivi-chan..." Mia said gently as she began to pat the girl's head and hair soothingly.
Eventually, Vivi's crying died out and she fell asleep from all her crying. Mia picking her up and gently placing the girl inside the Women's Quarters in her bed.
"So what do you think will happen next?" Asked Rena to Mia as they observed their crew bustle about fixing the the ship's course.
"I have no idea..." Mia said before they got to work too.
TBC
I know it's rushed so far but I promise it'll slow down steadily soon enough. Just be patient starlets.
