The sun shone through the blue, airy curtains in Vivi's room and tickled her nose. Suddenly she sat bolt upright and threw a panicked look at the silver alarm clock that was on her bedside table. She sighed in relief. What luck, it was just 6 o'clock so there was still enough time. Vivi immediately jumped up and grabbed her backpack. She had been looking forward to this day for weeks and today it was finally time. Today was the day her class would go on a day trip. There were two alternative options. You could either go to a youth hostel by the lake or explore the shadow forest and sleep there in an old hut. Vivi, like everyone else from her cliuqe, had opted for the latter. Her cliuque, including Luffy, his brother Ace, the swordsman Zorro, the cheeky Nami, her sister Nojiko, Usopp the liar, Kaya, Sanji the swarm of girls, Nico Robin who was very interested in history and the little elk Chopper.When Vivi had just finished packing, her cell phone answered with a piercing melody. It was Nami who called her best friend. ´´Hi Nami, what's up? ´´ asked Vivi. ´´I just wanted to make sure you didn't oversleep. ´´ At first Vivi was angry about this answer, but then had to join in the laughter herself. The two girls agreed to meet at a quarter past eight in front of school, where they wanted to meet the others, and then Vivi hung up the phone. From below came the voice of her father calling her to dinner. When she stepped into the spacious kitchen of the old manor house, the smell of fresh muffins and coffee hit her in the nose and with a ´´Good morning dad´´ she sat down opposite her father at the table. After they had finished eating Vivi wanted to jump up and run away, but her father held her back. ´´ Where are you going again honey? ´´ he asked worried. ´´In the shadow forest Papa´´ she gave as an answer to which she darkened her father's face more and more.´´ Please take care of Vivi´´ he said in a low voice. ´´But of course dad´´ She kissed him on the cheek and then immediately set off.

When she arrived at the school 10 minutes later, Nami wasn't there, but Luffy, Ace and Zorro. Vivi jumped off her bike and was greeted warmly by everyone. Especially Ace grinned broadly and when the eyes of the two met Vivi felt a warmth rise in her that made her heart beat faster. Now Luffy came up to her. 'Tell Vivi, do you have something to eat with you? I'm almost starving, "he said with a doggy look that softened Vivi's heart. ´´You cannot beg Vivi for food. She is a lady. Hey, don't you have any behavior at all? ´´. Everyone turned to the speaker who turned out to be Sanji. Vivi had to grin. As always, Sanji was a born gentleman but also quite a macho. One after the other, the others came in and when the last one, Usopp, came, they could finally start.As they were about to open up, the shy Kaja asked: ´´Is no teacher coming with you? ´´
´´Oh, I forgot to say that to you. ´´ said Ace with a big grin. ´´Our teacher has called in sick, but we can go anyway, because since Nico and I are class representatives, he has given us responsibility: ´´ When he finished speaking, there was immediately a deafening cheer. Vivi beamed. The week they were supposed to spend in the Shadow Forest seemed to be even better than expected.
