Chapter 1:Define Normal

Hey guys! How's your day going, hmm? Yay! Or um... I'm sorry. Whichever fits better.

So this is the requested reward five-chapter story for TigerGoddess19!

Everyone give him/her (avoiding assumptions here) a big hand!

I hope you enjoy this, TigerGoddess19, and thank you for participating!

Maybe "normal" isn't the right word. Nami thought. Another thunk echoed around the ship when she knocked over a table. "Sorry, Franky!" Nami shouted over her shoulder and followed Zoro out the flung open door on to deck.

"Shishishi!" The laugh whipped past her ear and Nami snapped her head around so fast her neck popped audibly. "Luffy!" Nami half-snapped, half-screeched in surprise. Zoro jumped past her, chasing the captain.

Who was chasing Usopp and Chopper.

"Gah! Luffy, quit following us! You're bringing them over here!" Usopp yelled in panic. Bright spots of paint covered his clothes. Next to him, Chopper's fur was sticky with the same paint.

Luffy just laughed and kept running after them. The same brightly colored paint coated him from head to toe. Luffy also held one mikan in his right hand, and Zoro's bandana in the other.

Nami and Zoro were completely covered in a strange assortment of neon paint. Usopp and Chopper had taken advantage of the fact that both of them- unsurprisingly for Zoro- had fallen asleep on deck and decided to play a prank. Luffy had spotted them and jumped in.

Unfortunately for the trio, Luffy thought it would have been funny to tease the two prank victims by waving their stolen belongings in front of their faces.

Needless to say, the result was a paint covered ship and a mad chase of terror around the Sunny-go.

Nami huffed out a breath when Luffy finally slipped and tumbled to a stop, allowing Zoro and herself to reclaim the stolen items. Luffy ducked, undoubtedly expecting a punch to the head, and Nami chuckled at them sight as she examined the mikan.

It had a tiny smudge of paint on one side, but other than that it was completely unharmed. The same could be said for Zoro's bandana. Luffy had been careful not to damage them. Nami realized with a start.

Nami sighed and relented as Zoro headed to wash the pain off of his clothes. When Luffy finally looked up, it was to see a mikan nestled in the palm of a hand extended towards him.

"Nami?" Luffy questioned uncertainly.

"Just don't do it again." Nami half-heartedly threatened.

The mikan was quickly replaced with the feeling of a familiar straw hat settling on her head.

Nami turned a fierce glare on to Usopp and Chopper, but left the warning at that.

Maybe isn't the right word to describe us, Nami mused with a smile, but this is our normal.
