"Life Before."

|||

If you want to know anything about my life, it used to be hard. At least, for me. Everyone thought I was weird. O.K., so I had the ability to talk to animals, & even through I was smart, I often acted simple-minded, & I had the ability to do just about anything in the water, but I was just like everyone else.
By the way, my name's Melody; Mel for short. Like I said, people thought I was weird, in fact, they picked on me for it. Pulling my hair, pranks, name calling, I got all! I didn't know what to do!

The worst part was other than Auntie Paula, there was no one to talk to about it. I'm an orphan, & Auntie Paula's my only living relative, I have barely any friends, & I don't have any siblings. I was totally alone.

|||

Then one day, my aunt & I moved to Fuschia Town, a small town on a island far from our homeland. I spent the whole afternoon walking through the woods, singing, & talking to animals:

If I fall you're going down with me
You're going down with me baby if I fall
You can't take back every little chill you give me
You're going down with me baby heart and all


I then heard sounds of someone fighting. I went to check it out, & I found a young boy, close to my age, thrashing around onto the rocks. He had short, ruffled, black hair; brown eyes, which looked so close to black, you could easily mistaked them for black; & he wore a bright-red, t-shirt, & light-blue, short pants, as well as a old, straw hat. "What's he doing?"

|||

"Take that?! & that?! & some these?! & take this?!" he then started to backtrack (run backwards), & he stretched his arms, so far, it was impossible! "GUM GUM ROCKET!" he jumped at the rock that was his target. It smashed into a thousand pieces!

"WHOA!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. He heard me! "Aaaaahhhhh!!!!!" I tried to run for it, but he caught me!

"Got ya?!" he said with a smile, grabbing my wrists with his hands.

"Let me go?!" I tried to get away, not turning my back once.

|||

"What are you doing?" he said, watching what I was doing, jumping in front of me, every chance he got.

"My auntie, Paula, told to never turn my back on a stranger who can do some damage!"

"Why?"

"Because I could hurt, & Auntie Paula doesn't want that for me?!"

|||

"I guess that makes sense?! I mean, she's looking out for you, so your parents don't worry, right?!"

"I don't any parents! Wwwwwwwwwhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!" I said as I started to cry. "My dad died 2 months before I was born, so I never knew him....." I held up 2 fingers. ".....& my mom died giving birth to me, so I never knew her either?!"

"Oh dear?! Don't cry?! I'm sorry, I didn't know." he gently patted me on the back. "I know how you feel, I never my dad either!"

"Really?!"

|||

"Yeah." he said just before grinning ear to ear. "My name's Monkey D. Luffy!" he said as he & I shook hands. "Oh, by the way, Monkey's my middle name, D.'s my last name, & Luffy's my....."

".....First name?!"

"Yeah?!" he said as he looked at me & started to blush as he heard me giggle. "You see, it runs in my family. We all put our middle names in the spot of where our first names, our first names in where our last name should go, & our last name, my family name, in...."

".....Between the middle & first name?!"

|||

"Uh, uh-huh?!"

"Monkey D. Luffy?!" I said as I giggled. "Well, given the actual order, I think it's a very nice name, & better than my name!" I told him. "Oh, my name's Melody Terra Bluseel!"

"Lovely name?!"

"Thanks; anyway, I prefer Mel?!"
