You woke up to the sound of your smoke alarm a few hours later. Jolting awake at the piercing notes that the circular alarm make, you jump off the couch and look around wildly. You run into the kitchen when you smell smoke and see the boys scrambling around with a frying pan, whatever is in it is burnt to a crisp.

“What the hell!?” You gasp grabbing the pan from Ace, who had pulled it off the stove. You nearly scream at how hot it was and drop it into the sink.

You pull your hands close to you and bend over, oh god that hurts.
“(Name)!?” You heard the boys gasp and run up to you. You were squeezing your eyes shut, you burnt them pretty good.
“Oooww….” You gasp, opening your eyes and looking at the palms of your hands. They were already blistering, that’s not good. You looked around and saw the boys were upset.

“Hey hey, it’s alright!” You give them a huge smile, cringing and walking over to the sink and turning on the cold tap.
“Uh…Grab my phone it’s in my pocket, go through my contacts and ask Law if there is any good home remedies for burns…” You instruct, you feel one of the kids reach into your pocket and grab your phone. You keep your hands under the cool water, sighing with relief.
“I’m sorry…” You hear Luffy say, you look over at him and see him starting to get more upset.
“It’s alright, what were you doing?” You ask him, Sabo starts talking in the background, considering the way he’s talking you assume it’s to Law.

Luffy looks at the burnt mess in the sink.
“We were making dinner…” He starts, poking a burnt mush with his fingers.
“But it was cooking slowly so Ace used his fire…Sabo said it was cooking to fast but Ace just shrugged and then it caught fire. Sabo used his power to put it out, Ace grabbed the pan and freaked out when the alarm went off…” Luffy said, you looked at Ace who had walked up to the other side of you and was staring at your hands. You look at his and frown, right fire kid, he doesn’t get burned.
“It was probably safer letting you hold the pan huh?” You joked lightly, he glares up at you and huffs.
‘Well obviously.’ His expression says, you just laugh nervously. Sabo walks over to you and put ths phone next to the sink.
“Says to keep it under cold water, and if you have anything for burns put it on, otherwise go get some.” He says, you sigh. You didn’t have anything for burns.

“Say, do you guys want to go on a little errand for me?” You ask them, giving each of them a big smile. They nodded and you remove your hands from under the water.
“My wallet in on the couch. Grab a few hundred beli and walk to the store and grab some cream for burns okay?” You say and they nod quickly and run into the living room. You sigh and put your hands back under the water. Stay safe guys…

The boys run out of the house, Sabo holding onto the beli. Sabo suddenly stops and turns around.
“Luffy! Stay here.”  Sabo says, stopping the younger boy. Luffy looks up at him confused and slightly irritated.
“But..!” He starts but Sabo shakes his head.
“Someone needs to watch (Name) so I’ll leave her with you.” He says grinning, Luffy stops and thinks for a moment before grinning and running back to the house.
“Okay!” He says before disappearing into the house. Sabo turns back around and see’s Ace staring at him. Sabo looks away and grins sheepishly.

“I just want to know where he is…” Sabo admits, Ace nods wordlessly and starts to run in the direction of the store. They didn’t want a repeat of earlier today. They continued running down a set of streets until they reached the store. Ace enters first and looks around. There were lots of shelves that were a lot taller than he was, walking up to one he sees a bunch of magazines. He frowns at them, this isn’t what he needs.

Sabo enters a minute later and looks around, frowning at Ace who was looking at the magazines.
“What are you doing?” He asks, Ace turns around and grabs one of the magazines and point at it.
“Y doeth the not have any clotheth?” He asks, his speech has progressed from gibberish to a lisp. Sabo walks up and looks at it, none of the other magazines were like this one.
“I don’t know, it’s weird…” He says, but before he can take it and open it a store clerk grabs it, his face red.
“You shouldn’t be reading things like this! What do you need!?” He asks, rolling the magazine up and putting it behind him, Ace and Sabo frown up at him.

“We need burn cream.” Ace says, Sabo snickers slightly.
“That’s the first normal sentence you’ve said…”He giggles, Ace glares at him.
“Thut up.” He says, cursing his lisp. Sabo just grins and looks back towards the clerk who walked away and down one of the isles. He follows the clerk into an isle full of over the counter medicine. The clerk is looking at a few tubes of creme on the shelf, Sabo walks over and peeks up at them, the clerk looks down at him.
“How bad are the burns?” He asks, Ace walks over and looks at the tubes.
“The grabbed a pan that wath burning.” He says, the clerk looks back at the cream laughing.

“She’s that bad of a cook?” He asks, Sabo laughs while Ace looks at the floor.
“No, only Ace is.” Sabo says right before being smacked on the back of the head by Ace.
“Thut the fuck up.” He hisses before crossing his arms and huffing, the clerk laughs again and chooses a cream.
“Here, this will do.” He says walking up to the counter. Just as he steps behind the counter a man enters the store, Ace looks over and quickly grabs Sabo and pulls him back. Sabo was about to argue until he saw the man, the both of them went and hid behind one of the shelves.

Ace and Sabo peeks from behind the shelves to look at the tall man who entered, he was pale and had extremely red hair. This man was notorious, he was a Mafioso like Law, and also like Law he made his group in the last five years.

“Heeeeeeeey Sam.” The man says walking over to the counter, the clerk pales and backs away. The red head smirks.
“Kid…Eustass…Kid…”Sabo gasp quietly, both him and Ace move even further away.
“Where’s my money?” Kid asks leaning on the counter, the clerk stutters and stumbles away from the man, earning a dark chuckle from the red head.

Someone else enters the shop, but neither Ace nor Sabo move to see who, what have they gotten into now..!?
