"It was him!", Offended she crossed her arms over her chest and continued to rock back and forth in the rocking chair. She had seen, seen and recognized him. Sophie didn't need to frown so stupidly.
"It was him!", She said again and stamped her foot to confirm her words, "it was him!"
"Was it really him?", Sophie didn't even bother to hide the mockery that resonated in her voice, "you really mean you saw Eiichiro Oda in this dump?" In this small town in which there was never anything going on was ??
"Yes, yes!" Answered Beccy and got up with a groan, "for sure!"
"Maybe she's right!", The first words Amy said about it, the whole time she had been sitting on her bed and followed the discussion between the two with amusement, "who knows, maybe she really saw him."
"Honestly, Amy, it was him!", At least one that gave her a little faith. She had seen him with no ifs or buts."Okay, let's say it was him. Now what?", Okay, maybe Beccy had really seen him, "what's the point?"
"No idea! But can you imagine that? The artist from One Piece here in this town! That's ... it's fantastic!", Simply unbelievable. "We could get an autograph ... I mean, if he's already there ...", her hand had already put on the doorknob.
"And where do we meet him now, please?", The city tour was certainly long over and just paddling through the city and hoping that you were lucky, Sophie was honestly too stupid, "that is, if it really was him!"
"Maybe I know where he is ...", Beccy hesitated before she continued, the way Amy and Sophie suddenly hung on her lips at these words was a sight for the gods, "maybe I know where he will stay tonight. .. "She smiled triumphantly and nodded towards the door. "So what about, let's go get the autograph?""And now?", Amy asked discouraged when they stood helplessly in front of the old town hotel, "what should we do now? Stay here and gawk?"
"Wait and have a cup of tea!", That was Beccy's motto, there was nothing else they could do, "Going in and just visiting him would be too intrusive ..." ".. so prefer to hang around like groupies in front of the hotel, understood ! ", Sophie grinned, crossed the street and sat down on the bench, which fortunately stood so that you could see the whole street and especially the hotel.
Waiting was the order of the day, waiting for someone who might not be here because Beccy was wrong. Sophie wasn't so sure whether Beccy had actually seen Eiichiro Oda, the probability wasn't that great, was it? Amy's thoughts went in the same direction, but when she looked at Beccy and examined the determined expression on her face, she banished her doubts. Who knows, maybe she had seen him after all, you never knew with Beccy.Either she was right and or totally wrong. And if it wasn't him, what does it matter? One more reason to smile at your crazy friend.
"What are you smiling about?"
"Oh nothing ...", Amy crossed her arms behind her back and stretched, "I was just thinking ..." Beccy grumbled unsatisfied, she could already guess what Amy had been thinking about, but she refrained from any further comment. The two would see ...
The sun was high in the sky, the sky was as blue as never before and the birds seemed to be holding a concert. Funny twittering came from every corner. And everywhere you looked, people were enjoying the first warm rays of sun this year.
Amy closed her eyes and let the sun shine on her face. That Eiichiro Oda appeared here could take a while ...
And she was right about that. Two hours later, they were still in place.
"Well, ... somehow I'm fed up with crouching around ...", and with that Sophie not only spoke for herself, but Amy too was slowly feeling tired, "nothing happens."Beccy rolled her eyes, the two of them should have a little more patience, besides, they had only been sitting here for two hours." Maybe we should come back tomorrow. "
"Tomorrow?", Beccy straightened up and raised his eyebrows reproachfully, "tomorrow he might not be anymore." "Or he was never here, not today and not tomorrow either", Beccy had to slowly realize that she was because in what increased in.
"And the day after tomorrow either", Amy finished the sentence and alternately stretched her legs away from her, "but don't worry."
"Another half an hour, yes?" Didn't they understand? He was here, in this city you couldn't miss it, "half an hour, that's all I ask for, mmh?" She looked pleadingly from one to the other. And if he didn't show up then Amy and Sophie could go - but she would stay and if she sat here until Plum Whitsun.
Amy finished her stretching exercises with resignation and sighed and fell against the back of the bench."If you like, we'll go out to eat."
"Okay, okay ..." if the two of them wanted it that way, please. Sophie crossed her legs and started whistling a song to herself. She was bored as hell. And sitting around here didn't make it any better ...

Nothing happened for another fifteen minutes. All sorts of people entered and left the hotel, but an Asian who looked like Eiichiro Oda wasn't there. And he wouldn't be there either, he was definitely sitting somewhere in Japan, drawing on One Piece as being in this boring city. Sophie sighed and continued to stare into the air.
Three minutes later a taxi was parked in front of the hotel, making it very difficult for them to keep an eye on the entrance, the idiot had parked right in front of the entrance.
Beccy cursed and let down her hand and stretched her neck to see something, "I don't see anything."
And what if Eiichiro Oda showed up right now?Without further ado, she climbed onto the bench and thus kept an overview, she couldn't see everything, but at least the heads of the respective people. "That's better, much better!"

The swinging doors of the hotel opened and Beccy could make out a head of black hair and underneath a face that was Eiichiro Odas. Either it was him or a damn good fake. "There he is!" She called out without further ado and climbed off the bench again, only to storm across the street the next moment. Sophie just shook her head and followed without further ado, if that really was Eiichiro Oda, she owed Beccy something. Amy stayed where she was and preferred to keep watching. What would Eiichiro Oda think if Beccy and Sophie ran up to him like crazy? Clearly, if she were in his place, she'd run away, run away from those fanatical fans.
As soon as they had halfway across the street, Eiichiro Oda got into the taxi that started the engine almost at the same time.When Beccy and Sophie reached the opposite street, all they could see was the rear wheels. He was gone.
"Shit!", Indignant, disappointed and angry, she let her hand slide down on one of the concrete pillars, "that can't be true!" Sophie's doubts were blown away. She had only seen the Asian for two seconds, but it really had to be him. And now, yes now he was gone. Too late...
