Disclaimer: I do not own One Piece or anyone in it. I also do not own Oni-chan, Ia, Skie, or Adam. If I did, I believe that they would hurt me. Very much so. With a blunt object. Anyways, R&R guys, R&R, or feel my wrath once I take over the world! On the other hand, if you do, you can have a cookie!!!

When Chuck woke up, she was in the nurse’s office, her friends surrounding her.

“Wha… what just happened?” Chuck asked, dazed and confused.

“You started talking to yourself, than all of a sudden you fainted.” Ia stated, smiling and obviously amused.

“…Oh.” Chuck looked around the room. Her friends were crowded around the cracked black pleather bed that she was lying on so she couldn’t see the rest of the tiny avocado colored room. Cedric shifted to the left to whisper something in Skie’s ear. When she blushed and grinned, Chuck saw a flash of a bright green head. Now, seeing as the school forbade all unusual hair coloring as a way to suppress anybody’s individuality, she knew that it could not have been a student from her school.

‘What the crap was that?’ She thought

“Uh, Chuck, are you going to be okay?” asked Oni-chan, poking her in the shoulder as she suddenly sat up.

“…yeah… I mean, no… no… I’m claustrophobic… get out now!” She begged. As they all left, Chuck looked around the room. No One Piece crew to be found. She got up off the bed to splash her face with some water from the old, rust-stained ceramic sink. The water was ice cold (the only temperature that she could get) and had an iron orey color, smell, and taste to it, due to the fact that the school was cleverly placed upon an old iron ore mine. As she dried her face with a rough brown paper towel that barely could get the job done, she looked into the dirty mirror, streaked with… something. She quickly spun around.

‘No.’ she thought, ‘This only happens in Stephen King thriller movies. Not in real life!’ She checked the mirror again. The crew still seemed to be behind her in the mirror, but as she turned around and around, repeatedly, spinning like a crazed insane top. …They were not behind her in the 3D room. However, they were somehow behind her in the mirror.

“This is like Alice through the Looking glass,” she muttered, sweating a cold sweat in fear. She walked to the door and turned the cold tarnished brass knob, taking one last glance at the mirror to see the One Piece crew-waving goodbye and smiling slightly. She let out a sigh as they faded out of the mirror. It was just a dream. A silly little, crazy, dream. Nothing more nothing… As she opened the door, she saw the crew, standing in front of her, smiling their same happy smiles. Pretending that they were not there, and that she was not, in fact, psychotic, she walked right through the middle of the croup.

Walking out of the nurse’s office, and then out of the principal’s office, she sat down against the cold cement/brick wall outside of the office, and closed her eyes.

“Mr. K that bad?” A kind voice asked. Chuck slowly opened an eye, thinking suddenly of a witty reply.

“Huh?” Unfortunately, she momentarily forgot how to speak.

“Mr. K? You are outside of his office. You seem sorta exhausted.”

“Oh, yeah. Well, no. I was in the nurse’s office. I sorta… had a situation.” Chuck blushed, not wanting to admit that she had fainted.

He held out her hand, indicating that he wanted to help her up.

“Names Adam. Didn’t quite catch your’s.”

“Oh, it’s Chuck”

“Funny name for a girl? You’re mum got mixed up in the gender at first?”

“No, just a nickname of mine. Long story.” She smiled at Adam “Why are you here?”

“Just taking a break from class time. I was sorta hungry, so I thought I would grab something from the cooking class. Wanna come?” He extended his arm, as if he were escorting a princess to a ball

“Sure. Why not? The sugar would help.”

As they left to go to the cooking class, Chuck looked behind her and saw Zoro and Nami following them. Adam glanced behind also, to see what she was looking at.

“Why are they following us? And why do they have weapons?” He asked, oblivious to the fact that nobody else could see them.

“Er… I’m not sure actually. They just sorta showed up one day. Wait… you can see them?!”

“Well duh. They look solid as a rock. Why?”

“Well it’s just… It’s a long story, actually.”

“Well we have plenty of time. My teacher believes that I went to call my mum because I felt sick, and you’re not due back for a while. So explain away.”

So that’s the end of Chapter Two! Hmmmm… What will happen??? Will Cedric be with Skie or Chuck??? Or will something else happen to Cedric? Will Cameron have to defend Ia? Moreover, WHY can Adam see the One Piece crew also??? Is he also insane? Or is Adam from the same place as the crew??? In addition, most importantly, will I ever take over the world??? Find out next time on…

Jumping off the Deep End!!
