Verse One

With her phone trapped between her left shoulder and her left ear, Luffy waited impatiently next to luggage carousel while her hands were busy trying to locate her journal book inside her chaotic bag. Nami, her childhood best friend, was not answering her call and she needed to check her journal for another contact number of Nami. The orange head lady was supposed to picked her up at the airport, but her plane schedule got delayed for an hour and half and Luffy doesn't know if Nami is still waiting for her outside or not.

When her eyes caught a red luggage that looked so much like hers (there are a lot of One Piece stickers all over the bag which she used as her mark that the bag was hers and One Piece is her favourite manga), she quickly grabbed the said luggage and wheeled the bag towards the exit door.

Luffy was still busy trying to call Nami when she accidentally collided her shoulder with someone.

"Oh shoot, I'm sorry!" The young lady automatically bowed and apologised without looking at the person she collided with. She heard him excused himself but she was already few feet away from him. "Nami! Oh thank god, you finally answered the call!"

"Where are you?! I've been waiting for you for more than an hour already!" Nami's annoyed voice screeched from the other side of the line.

"I'm sorry. The plane got delayed." Luffy apologised.

"Yeah, yeah. Hurry up, I'm hungry and I still have a date with Law tonight." Nami said after she let out an exasperated sigh.

Luffy chuckled. How Law got passed with Nami's overly-protective step-father, Gen-san, and scored a date with Nami will always be a mystery to Luffy. "Yeah, I'm almost outside." She said before clicking her phone off and placed it inside her bag, still unaware about the bag that doesn't belong to her.

Luffy threw herself into her bed and inhaled the familiar scent of her pillow. "Ah~~ home sweet home." Luffy muttered in satisfaction as she rolled over on her bed. She really did miss her bedroom. She was in Sakura Kingdom for the duration of her summer vacation with her father.

Her parents were divorced and her mother got the legal custody over her. Every summer vacation, she's expected to spend her days with her father, not that it bothered her. Surprisingly, she has a very good relationship with her father, and his eccentricities as an archaeologists fascinate her.

There was a knock on her door before her mother popped her head inside her room. "Hi, sweetheart, I need your dirty clothes tonight so start repacking your luggage now, okay?" She said and left the room without waiting for her daughter's response.

Luffy eyed her luggage in lazy way. She's planning of taking a quick hot bath and go to bed without touching the luggage until tomorrow morning, but her mother may be known as a sweet lady in her forties but she can be really scary when she wanted her to be. The young lady pushed herself off her bed and crawled to her bag. Now that her luggage is standing right in front of her, she took noticed of the unfamiliar One Piece stickers on the bag.

She does not remember placing a Mera-Mera no mi sticker or the pipes crossed together on her bag. Or even these two unfamiliar guitar picks as zipper chain attached to the zipper. It has two letters written on the surface of one of the picks.

S.O

It took her seconds to finally realised that this luggage was not hers! 'Holy crap! What do I do?!' All of her things, her clothes and her sketch book are all inside her luggage! Panic consumed her chest that she immediately jumped from her floor and run outside, screaming for her mother's help.

The unknown, still-closed baggage was laid on the floor in their living room in front the mother and daughter duo. Luffy wanted to open the bag, if only her dear mother would allow her to pick the lock of the said bag.

"Honey, the name and the contact number of the owner of this bag are written on the name tag? What's the point of opening it without the consent of the owner?" Makino chided her daughter.

"But mom, what if this bag has some illegal drugs? Or has a chopped person inside?!"

Makino lightly glared at her daughter. "Don't be disgusting, Luffy." Wrinkling her nose in disgust.

"I'm opening it!" Luffy declared, ignoring her mother. Shanks, a single drunkard (who has a crush on her mother) and a car mechanic living couple of house from them, taught her how to pick locks, doors and cars. Makino once reprimanded Shanks about the things he's teaching her daughter, though she knew her Luffy will not stop learning things from the drunkard mechanic, may it be mundane things like picking locks or self defence moves, because her twenty year old daughter looked up to Shanks for some unknown reason.

Makino and Luffy stared on the things inside the bag. There are clothes, small bags which probably contains toiletries and a notebook secured inside the compartment of the bag. Luffy concluded that the owner of the bag is a male, the boxer's shorts and briefs are dead give away anyways. She was about to take the notebook from the compartment when Makino slapped her hand.

"Ouch, Mom! What was that for?!" Luffy rubbed her red hand while pouting to her mother.m

"Don't your dare touch what is not yours. You opened the bag, so I think that's enough snooping around." Makino reprimanded her daughter while she closed the bag. "I'm going to wash the dishes while you, young lady, will call this Sabo guy, see if you can convince him to meet us tomorrow to exchange your bag with his. Hoping that he has yours, that is, because if you mistook his bag then it means he probably thought that your bag is his as well." Makino said, handing the cordless phone to Luffy. She gave Luffy a warning look before going to kitchen.

Luffy sighed as she threw herself to the couch. The young lady glanced over her shoulders, she saw her mother washing the dishes and have her back towards the living room. With a mischievous glint on her brown eyes, Luffy carefully opened the bag and fished out the notebook with much difficulty.

"Mom! I'll make a call in my room, okay?" She called out, hiding the notebook under her baggy clothes.

Thankfully, Makino did not bother turning around. "Okay, after you make call you can go to sleep. Good night, sweetheart." The matriarch answered.

Luffy ran to her bedroom, climbing the stairs two-steps at a time, locked her door and threw the notebook into her bed. Before snooping around she decided to make a call first. The young lady dialled the number she remembered written on the name tag and waited for someone to answer the call.

There's nothing special about the notebook. It looks a regular one, but Luffy doesn't know why this thing intrigued her so much. Luffy crawled next to the notebook, slightly being impatient that nobody was accepting her call until now, and flipped the book open. It revealed words and music notes.

Is the owner ('Sabo' was it?) of the bag some kind of a musician of something? Wait. Sabo? Why does it sound so familiar to Luffy? The young lady flipped the page once more.

I'm amazed when I look at you. Not just because of your looks, but because of the fact that everything I've ever wanted is right in front of me.

Holy crap. That was so cheesy, but so romantic as well! Luffy giggled. She's not a typical girly girl during her teen years, not like her other girl friends like Nami and Vivi who spent most of their time shopping clothes, exchanging 'girl secrets' about make ups and beauty regimen or have group conversation through phone to talk about their boy crushes. Even now that she's starting her young adulthood phase she could count the few times she admired anyone, especially the opposite gender. Her friends called her cute, that she also have her fair share of 'suitors' but she barely pay attention to them.

So to make the story short, she's inexperienced when it comes to romance. But reading these words caused her stomach to flutter. Luffy was about to flipped the page again when she finally heard an impatient voice coming from the end of the line.

"Hello?"

Crap! Luffy immediately closed the notebook, as if she was literally caught red-handed snooping around the private journal. With her pounding heart, Luffy jumped from her bed and walked towards her bedroom window, that overlook the empty street of Fuschia Village.

"Ah yes, I'm looking for a person named Sabo?" She said, her one hand playing with the curtain's end.

"Yes, you're speaking to him." Said the voice.

"Hi, I'm calling about your luggage? I think I mistook your bag to mine, and I'm wondering if you have my bag as well?"

There was a short pause, before she heard the voice again. This time it is much more calm. "Are you— Ace, what's the name written on it again?— sorry, one second, please." Luffy could hear a muffled sound and voices from the other line, and then Sabo is back on the line again. "Luffy? You're Luffy, I guess?"

"Yes, that's me." Luffy answered. "I assumed that you have my bag?"

"Yes, I noticed that this isn't mine after I got home." He answered again. "I take it you want your stuff back?"

"Yep." Luffy answered, popping the 'p'. "But not tonight. My mom will not allow me to leave the house this late. I live in Fuschia Village, so if it's okay to you we can meet half way to yours and mine?"

"Yeah, yeah. I understand. Uhm, I live in Goa City, which is conveniently near your village, if it's okay to you we can meet in Gray Central Park?"

Luffy nodded her head, it's a lot closer to her to be honest. It will only take her less than one hour drive. "I know a cafe in Gray Central Park, if you want we can meet there around ten in the morning?"

"Okay, sure."

"Okay. And I'm so sorry for taking your bag. I was in a hurry back then so I didn't notice anything."

Sabo laughed lightly. "Nah, I didn't notice anything as well, so I'm partly wrong too. No need to apologise."

"Thanks." Luffy was quiet for a moment, staring at the notebook on her bed. Contemplating whether Sabo wrote those poems or not. Luffy shook her head and let out a soft cough before bidding her goodbye. "Well, see you tomorrow, Sabo."

She heard silence on the line. "Yeah. See you tomorrow, Luffy-san. Good night."

"Night." And then she pressed the end call button. Luffy stared at the phone for few second before placing the contraption on her desk and went towards her bed. The young lady flipped the page once more, her desire to read Sabo's lyrics or poems was too intense to ignore.

The first time I met you it wasn't a love at first sight. My love for you formed gradually. Your humour, your voice, your personality, your eyes and your smile. Slowly, it all came clear to me that you were exactly what I was looking for.

Luffy felt her lips drew a soft, warm smile. Imagining Sabo wrote these lines for her. Somehow, she's excited to meet the person who wrote these wonderful poems.
