The next group to arrive back was Franky's group. As they filed into the living room; They each sighed in defeat. Usopp sat heavily on the couch. He looked like he was about to faint. "Oh, we aren't the first ones back. I was sure we would be" he said, scratching the back of his head. " Sanji and the ladies were back a couple hours ago. They had some unfortunate news to report" Law explained. "I know, Nami explained it to us. It's part of the reason we came back so soon." Robin said. "Did you see anything?" You asked. "No, Usopp pestered us until we came back" Franky grumbled, "It was not very super". Usopp looked away from the other two, folding his arms over his chest. "It was a good call. We could have been pounced upon at any moment" he stated. "So, you didn't encounter any trouble?" Sanji asked. Robin shook her head, "None. We went all the way to Usopp's to get his slingshot and ammo. After that we scoured the town. We didn't find anyone, not even the undead" she

You almost forgot where you were when you woke up the next morning. You sat up, pushing the blankets back to find an empty room. You saw the other bed against the far wall, unmade. The drum set at the foot of the bed and the guitar propped on its stand next to it. You remembered now, Zoro was asleep in his room, you were in Kid's bed, and he was on the couch. A slight blush rose in your cheeks as you recalled the evenings events. Nothing even remotely sexual happened in THIS room. He was just showing you how to play the guitar. Still, you felt your heart skip a beat at the memory. Let's not even start on the thing you had going on with Zoro. Then Kid had to go and offer you his bed, relenting to sleep on the couch. You weren't sure why he was acting all chivalrous suddenly. Hell, the first time you'd met him he'd forced his way into bed with you and felt you up. Now, he couldn't even hold your gaze for too long without blushing. You wondered what time Killer had got up this morning.

The night was dark other than the light coming from the gally on the deck of The Sunny. It was New Year's Eve, roughly twenty minutes from midnight. The rest of the crew were inside celebrating. You were outside alone, listening to the sounds of your crewmates enjoying the party. It's not that you weren't enjoying yourself, you were. You were just thinking, reflecting on all that had happened this year. Plus, you enjoyed the silence sometimes. A presence to your left had you looking up. " They said you shouldn't be alone right now" Zoro stated, nodding his head toward the gally windows where Robin and Nami both were waving. You waved back, beaming a smile just as bright as theirs. You didn't care if he joined you. It was quite the opposite. You'd had a thing for Zoro for quite some time. He was just too dense or too focused on other things to notice. "Why not?" "Its New Year's Eve." He said like that should be obvious. "Unless you want to be alone". "No", you said, touching

Zoro sat up, swinging his legs off the edge of the bed, eyes never leaving yours. You pressed your back to the door, like you could sink thru it and run away. You've heard the expression hungry like the wolf? That expression suited the look on his face perfectly. He stared for so long you were beginning to get uncomfortable. It was like he forgot how to form words. He opened and shut his mouth several times before settling for a smirk. "Forgot to bring a towel, eh?" "Yep" you said, frozen in place. It's not like you were afraid he would do something. No, your fear was quite the opposite. You were afraid you were going to do something. Hell, the two of you had already been all over each other once. If you let your body take over, your legs would walk into the arms of a hungry wolf. Don't get it wrong, you would happily let him devour you without a second thought. The thought was making you squirm, but you had other things to worry about. "I need to...uh" you nodded toward your bag of

You were standing on the entrance ramp of The Grand Vista. The ship was massive! Bigger than you thought it would be. You started up the ramp, dragging your suitcase along behind you. This was the first cruise you'd ever been on, and you were going alone. It was kind of sad really. You couldn't get anyone to go with you. You'd think you were twisting their arm instead of offering them a ticket to go on a cruise with you. Everyone was either working or had prior plans. You puffed out your cheeks as you pulled your baggage along the deck to the woman accepting the tickets as customers boarded. She took it, ran it thru the handheld in her other hand and handed it back. "Enjoy your trip Ma'am" she said smiling as she moved onto the next person. You walked across the deck, pausing at the railing to look out at the sun shining over the western ocean. You stood there as the ship began to move. The wind blew across the ship as it pulled away from the docks. You smiled and closed your eyes

Killer played the drums first, then showed you how to play. You had to admit he was pretty good. You were playing the drums while he watched when the door opened and in walked Kid. He dropped the duffle bag he was toting on the bed by the door before turning to watch you. Slowly, his frown turned into a smirk. "I didn't realize you could play" he said, tilting his head in appreciation. You paused looking over, "I couldn't this morning. He taught me just now" you said, nodding to Killer. Kid gave Killer an impressed look, "Either you're a fast learner or he's a good teacher" he stated taking a seat on his bed." "She's definitely a fast learner. She caught on immediately." Killer admitted. Kid picked up a guitar, beginning to play as you started drumming again. Killer grinned, grabbing the base. He started playing too. You had to admit you three made a badass trio. You played for a while, only breaking for drinks. "Your pretty good. You should play with us more often. Maybe when we

So, there's this guy you like. You weren't sure how he felt about you. Mostly because you were sure he didn't even know you existed. He's always coming to your town with other members of his group. The Revolutionary army. They come into the pub where you work, all laughing, smiling and bullshitting with each other. They all look too unreal, especially him. With his royal blue suit, tail coat and top hat. His blonde hair and blue eyes. His laugh. You felt dumb for obsessing over a man you'd never even been formally introduced to. Well, sure you'd been their waitress before but, that wasn't quite the same. You acted cheery and flirty to everyone that came in the pub. It was part of your job. You wanted to meet him and let him see the real you that wasn't " for work". See, here's the problem. There was this girl that was always with him. You didn't know what they were to each other, but she was always around. You could never catch him alone. He was either with her or another member of the
