Hope ya'll enjoy.

Prologue: The First Time

It was a cold, rainy night in west Texas. The wind was howling through the tree's stretched out arms, hail hammered the moist, muddy ground. A little girl was running through the trees, jerking away from their grip; tears streamed down her face as she turned to look back. She could hear the faint sound of the blood-hounds baying as they caught her scent. She began looking around her in desperate attempt to find a place to hide, but only could see trees. One tree stood alone, it was an old hollow oak; it was lifeless, there were no beautiful leaves, the bark had broken off revealing the inside of the tree, but for some odd reason it was not termite infested nor dying. The girl stopped to examine it carefully, wiping the water from her eyes, she heard the faint sound a man yelling, and she began climbing. When she reached the top of the oak and looked down into it; no animals lived in it, though she thought it to be odd. She closed her eyes, she could hear the dogs getting closer, biting her lip she jumped into the hollow tree. Lights flashed through her closed eyes, unsure of what this meant, she squeezed them tighter. Soon she landed with a thump.

Afraid to open them she laid on what she assumed to be the bottom of the hollow oak, but soon realized something wasn't right. The wind was still blowing but not menacingly, it was gentle and carried the smell of the ocean. There were no dogs baying or a man yelling; only the sound of her breathing, and the wind that blew in the tall grass. She opened eyes thinking she may have died, but instead of finding angels, she found two boys lingering over here, roughly her own age. One to her right was the taller of the two, he had long wild blonde hair and bluish-grey eyes, he was wearing tight blue jeans and a baggy T-shirt; the other was about her height, he had flaming red hair and amber eyes, he was wearing nothing but a pair of pants. The blonde one looked concerned and warily at her, while the other glared sinisterly at her.

"Umm… W-w-where a-am I?" The little girl asked in a whispered averting her eyes to the side.

The Boys

"There is nothing to do here?" A red-headed boy yelled at the top of his voice glaring angrily at the sky.

"Calm down Kidd, we'll find something to do…eventually." The blond one said as he examined a passing cloud.

"Easy for you to say Killer, you're fine with just sitting here." Kidd mumbled as he watched another cloud slowly pass by, he hated the South Blue, nothing ever happened. The most exciting thing that had happen on this damn boring island was when he accidentally ate the devil fruit, a year ago.

"True." Killer laughed. "How will you ever be the Pirate King, if you're not even patient enough to wait on dinner?" Killer began laughing when the red-head sat up and began cussing him. Just as Kidd was getting ready to punch his best-friend in the face a bright blue light began shinning beside the two, it was a giant vortex, Killer and Kidd decided. They watched as a little girl fell out of the vortex in amusement, curiosity, and shock. When the light disappeared they walked gingerly toward the girl, she was soaking wet, with mud staining her torn blue jeans, her T-shirt had rips all in it; she had wavy jet-black hair, and pale skin. She looked like she was afraid, anticipating something, but relief washed over her face and she opened her eyes revealing that her eyes were bright green. She looked at Killer and then to Kidd, confusion filled her green eyes; looking to the side she whispered:

"Umm…W-w-where a-am I?"

South Blue

"Where the hell do you think you are? You're in the South Blue." Kidd snarled at the girl, she looked up at him glaring, but quickly calmed down.

"S-south B-blue?" She sat up and cress-crossed her legs and stared confusingly up at Kidd. "W-where is t-that?"

Kidd and Killer stared at the girl in disbelief, how can she not know where the South Blue is? Everyone knows the Four Blues. "What Blue are you from?" Killer asked cutting Kidd off from what he assumed would be an insult.

"I'm n-not from a B-blue?" She said slowly. She had a strange accent; everything was drawn out a little.

"Screw that. How did you end up in the middle of our meadow, out of thin air?" Kidd was furious. This was his spot, only a Kidd Pirate could come here. She began looking around she had worried look that replaced her shocked expression from earlier. In the distance, Kidd's dogs had begun baying for their master to come back. The girl jumped up, and ran behind Killer, hiding from the sound. Kidd walked over to her and grabbed her, "Answer me." Kidd ordered.

"I…I…d-don't k-know. I w-was r-r-running from m-my u-uncle and I c-climbed a t-tree and j-jumped into it….and h-here I a-am." She stammered, her face began to turn scarlet as she avoided making eye contact with the two boys. Kidd's teeth began to grind together as he dropped her, Killer sighed and bent down by the quiet girl.

"I'm Killer, and the hot-head beside me is Kidd." Killer said laying his hand on her shoulder, she jerked her shoulder under from Killer's hand, and wrapped her arms around her shoulders, holding herself tightly. She began picking at her shoulder under her shirt.

"Eustass 'Captain' Kidd." Kidd snarled. The girl looked up at his ambers eyes and titled her head to the side.

"C-captain of w-w-what?" She asked.

"Of the Kidd Pirates." Kidd yelled. Killer sighed again and stepped in.

"The Kidd Pirates haven't been established yet." Killer said throwing a glare over his shoulder. "He wants to be a pirate." The girl's eyes widen and she titled her head further to the side.

"T-there is s-such a t-thing as p-pirates?" She asked innocently. Killer and Kidd collapsed onto the ground.

"What?" Kidd yelled as he sat up, shocked. "Haven't you heard of the One Piece?" Kidd continued to yell. Killer however began to look the girl over, she was covered in mud. It had not rained in almost two-weeks, so where did the mud come from?

"Who are you?" Killer finally asked cutting Kidd before many streams of insults that were sure to come. The girl looked up at Killer and then looked down to the ground.

"N-noelle….Noelle Wilson." She whispered. She began shuffling her feet around, and picked at her shoulder harder, her skin was starter to get raw.

"Noelle… Where are you from?" Killer asked calmly.

"T-texas." She whispered never looking up.

"What were you doing before you got here?" Killer asked again. Kidd was standing behind Killer now interested in the conversation; he had never heard of Texas.

"W-well I was r-r-running in the w-woods, and I c-came up to an o-old hollow o-oak. The d-dogs were c-chasing me so I c-climbed it and f-f-fell in, next t-thing I k-knew I was h-here." She said in a rush. Kidd and Killer looked at each other thinking the same thing. 'What is an oak? And what dogs?'

"Why were you running?" Kidd asked this time.

"Because I ran away." They barely heard her.

"Well Noelle, it seems you've gotten yourself in some deep shit." Killer said causing her to blush, Kidd began laughing.

One Week Later…..

Noelle, Kidd, and Killer had become attached at the hip (as Noelle would say it). Killer's mom said that she wouldn't mind having Noelle stay in the spare room. During her stay, Kidd and Killer would explain their world to her and she would tell hers to them. To show that they were friends, Kidd and Killer 'gave' her a beautiful charm bracelet, it was gold with two charms on it: one was of two swords crossed together and the other was of the Kidd Pirate's Jolly Roger. When Noelle asked how they made it, Killer simply said Kidd did. Kidd and Killer were a year older than her, they were nine years old. She discovered that Kidd was violent, short-tempered, arrogant, and sadist. Killer on the other hand was calm, observant, and a little violent when you insulted his pride or Kidd's pride. On the other hand Kidd and Killer found out that Noelle was quiet, calm, shy, had no self-confidence and was patient. They also found out that she lived with her abusive uncle and mean aunt, along with her snobby cousin; from what Kidd and Killer could gather, they were mean to her, they would beat her for speaking when not spoken to, made her do all the chores in the house, and was often told she was hideous compared to her cousins. Noelle learned that there were Four Blues: South, North, West, and East; there was also this place called the grand line. Noelle giggled as Kidd began talking excitedly about the One Piece, explaining in detail about it. When Kidd told her that he was going to be the next Pirate King, Noelle envied him; he could escape and go on grand adventures all over the world. Noelle began to sulk until Kidd looked at her and smiled.

"Do you want to join our crew?" Kidd asked Killer smiled over to the girl. He was a little nervous, he could admit it to himself but not to anyone else. Noelle's head snapped up and began grinning, but it so fell to a frown she buried her face into her knees.

"I'd j-just d-d-drag y-ya'll d-down." She mumbled into her knees. Kidd's smile turned into a scowl and he stood up over the girl.

"What are you talking about?" Kidd yelled. "Are you insane? You would be perfect for my crew." Kidd began glaring down to the girl and realization hit him. "You're not worthless Noelle. Don't you dare listen to them. Promise me that if you go home you won't listen to them." He held out his right hand down to the girl. "A Pirate's promise." The girl grinned up at Kidd and grabbed his hand; he pulled her up to her feet, to where she was eye level to him.

"P-promise!" She squealed. Killer, who had been sitting quietly by the two stood up and placed his hand on top of theirs.

Suddenly a bright light filled the air, Noelle's body began to fill fuzzy, and she was light-headed.

"Noelle!" Kidd and Killer yelled. "What's going on?" Killer asked his voice was in a rush as he tried to pull Noelle back down with failed attempt; his hand would simply pass through.

"I t-think I'm g-going b-back!" Noelle yelped as she tried to grab Kidd's out reached hand. Her voice was almost in the distance, she began being pulled away, and she gave up and smiled sheepishly at them.

"Well you better get your ass back here soon!" Kidd yelled as she disappeared into the light; leaving only him and Killer in the meadow reaching up into the air.

Texas…

Noelle opened her eyes; it was dark and dusty. She was in the hollow tree again, it was no longer raining, and the wind wasn't blowing. Noelle stood up and climbed out of the hollow tree, and looked around, nobody was in sight that she could see. Was it all a dream? She thought about as she walked aimlessly around in the woods. Her wrist caught onto a bush, causing her to looked down at her wrist and seen her charm bracelet. She smiled, it did happen. Suddenly dogs began baying in the distance; Skye's eyes looked towards the sound and she quickly took of the bracelet and put it in her pocket. She knew that if her cousins seen it they'd demand for it, and there was no chance in hell she was giving it them. She wasn't running this time; she sat down on the ground and waited for the dogs. She smiled; she needed to get some things from the house before she'd return back.

Here is the prologue for "Noelle in One Piece."
