Sixteen year old Sunny in Lougetown on business with Miss Pins. They happen to be there to witness Roger's execution. Miss Pins is unmoved by witnessing the King of the Pirates fall to thousands. Sunny, however, was horrified. She never wanted to see such a thing but Miss Pins felt it was important the girl see history happen. They work with pirates, Sunny needs to be used to the darker and more violent aspects of it.

It's evening time and Sunny goes out for a walk. It's raining, she has an umbrella. She needs to process what she saw.

She sighs and walks along, not really paying attention when something slams into her with incredible force. They both fall to the ground and into the mud. She's not mad, she's concerned, so she sits up, not caring her clothes are wet and muddy, she's worried about who ran into her.

The boy looks around her age, blue hair pulled into a ponytail and a bright red nose on his face, he's sitting up and rubbing his head as he grumbles about what he ran into.

"Are you okay?" She asks almost immediately and he looks up, glaring at her with tears in his eyes.

"Watch where you're going!" He shrieks as he scrambles to get up, feet sliding in the mud, unable to support him. She manages to get to her feet first, holding her hand out to him. He looks at it warily, considering his options for a moment, but he takes it. She pulls him up and looks him over.

"Oh, your clothes. They're soaking wet." Sunny reaches over in an attempt to brush the mud off but he jerks away from her.

"Don't touch me! What is wrong with you?!" He asks, voice high and cracking as he takes a few steps back. "L-Leave me alone!"

"I'm sorry! I just-"

He pauses for a brief moment, letting the words hit him. She looks back at him, hand extended out, and she tries again asking, "Are you okay?"

And well, no, he's not. Buggy's alone. His Captain's dead, his friend and sister are gone. It's just him. He isn't okay but should he tell a stranger this, even if she's looking at him with kind, sad eyes that make him want to start crying, hoping a friendly ear would listen.

Instead he reaches down for her umbrella and hands it to her. He turns to take off running when she grabs him by the hand. In his surprise it pops off his wrist and she lets out a little gasp.

"Oh! Um, maybe you need to eat something if your body parts... Are doing this." She said, calmer than he expects for someone seeing his Devil Fruit in action. "Um, can... Can I buy you something to eat? An apology for being in your way?"

And Buggy stares at her before taking his hand back, attaching it back to his wrist as he considers it. No, he wants to be alone. That's what he's destined for, isn't it, now that the important people in his life are gone. And before he can tell her to leave him the hell alone his stomach grumbles and she smiles at him.

"The inn I'm staying at has good food, if you want." Sunny says again, holding her hand out. "My name is Sunny, what's yours?"

And Buggy doesn't really want to say, but he allows her to take his hand and lead her away as she starts talking, nonsense sentences about what she does, about how she likes his outfit and she would love to wash and clean his clothes for him as an apology, but Buggy just isn't so sure about any of this, but a warm meal and a nice smile is at least a start to making him feel a little better.
