A Week Without…
Hello, everyone! How are you all doing? How's your year been so far? Mine could be better more or less but I'm still here so that counts.
So! Here is a new story that's, uh… been in the works since like… 2014 ^^" Haha… ha. Yeah… *Clears throat* But it really has been cuz at first I was into it then I got writer's block and lost some interest so I kept going back and forth with it. The writing style (if I even have a style if so Idk what it is) might be different in some parts but hopefully it works and flows well.
Depending on the responses and the reviews for this I might add the rest that I have (I'm not gonna lie this story is STILL in progress).
With all that being said, please enjoy the story and I hope this first chapter gets your interest :)
Summary: A bet is started when Ace and Thatch bicker about who can go a week without… Well, without doing something and as usual, Haruta, Izou and Marco are dragged into it. Who will win? Honestly, not even I know.
Enjoy! ^-^

"Hey, Marco?" Ace said coming in. He sounded nervous which sometimes wasn't a good thing.
"What is it- the hell?! Where'd all that paperwork come from?!"
"Uh… Remember that stand I went to for samples?"
"You accidentally set it on fire didn't you?"
Ace laughed nervously which answered Marco's question.
"If it's only one stand why is there so much?" He asked watching Ace set the paper down on his desk.
"Well… you know… fire spreads and… theotherstandscaughtonfiretoseeya!" Ace fled the room.
"OI! Get back-!" Marco growled annoyed and then looked at the paper and sighed. He then heard Ace and Thatch bickering.
"Damnit, Thatch!"
"You got in the way of my prank!"
"Your prank got in the way of me!"
Marco chuckled at the two as he began doing paperwork.
After almost two hours Marco was halfway finished but decided to take a break. He stood up, stretched and then went outside making his way to the mess hall. For his sake, Marco decided to get some food first before he sat down and wasn't able to get up. He then went over to the table and raised an eyebrow in question when he saw Ace and Thatch still bickering about something.
Meanwhile, Izou and Haruta were just watching trying to get a word in. As soon as Marco sat at the table he was bombarded with a few questions and words. Good thing he got his food first and this was the reason why he did.
"Marco, if Thatch went a week without pranking and Ace went a week without burning things, who do you think would win?" Haruta asked making the four of them look at Marco.
"Hm…"
"You actually have to think about it?!" Thatch said in disbelief.
"… Neither."
"What?!" Ace and Thatch said simultaneously.
"If it was three days though Thatch would win."
"Ha!"
"What?! I can totally go a week without burning things!" Ace said confidently.
"No you can't." The four replied in unison.
"Wait a minute…" Thatch realized something somewhat late and looked back at Marco. "You're saying I can't go more than three days without pranking?!"
"Yup."
"I can totally go a week without pranking!"
"No you can't." The other four responded in unison.
"As soon as the three days were up you went right back to pranking us." Haruta told him.
"And I was the first victim!" Izou said still not happy about what happened with his kimonos.
Thatch muttered something and Izou looked at him suspiciously.
"What was that?"
Thatch smirked. "I bet you couldn't go a week without wearing those kimonos of yours."
"Or makeup!" Haruta added.
"Not helping!" Izou told her.
"Then it's set-!" Thatch was interrupted.
"Whoa, wait a minute! If I'm being forced into this and have to go a week dressing like a normal guy…" Izou looked at Haruta with a sly smirk. "Then you have to go a week dressing girly. But I'm picking the clothes and dresses and skirts-"
"What?!"
"Now that's something I'd like to see." Ace said smiling.
"Nobody asked you!" Haruta scolded and then thought it over. "Fine. Then I get to pick out your clothes. Ace you're helping me cuz you'll make Izou look cooler."
"He better. Hey, what's that supposed to mean?!" Izou said clearly insulted.
"O.k, so looking over the list…" Thatch looked over a paper he got from nowhere making the others sweat drop in question. "…we have me going a week without pranking. Ace going a week without burning things. Izou going a week without makeup and wearing kimonos. And Haruta dressing girly for a week. This is gonna be very- wait a minute!"
"What?" The three asked.
"Marco-!"
The four of them looked where Marco sat but was met with blinking dots shaped like a pineapple indicating that he'd left.
"Where'd he go?!"
"Possibly back to his room to finish paperwork." Izou answered.
In that moment an idea came to them and they looked at each other knowingly.
"I think our lovely older brother deserves a week off from paperwork don't you, Haruta?"
"Yes that sounds like a very good idea, Izou. Ace?"
"Of course. Thatch?"
"Definitely. Let us go see him now."
With that being said, the four of them got up and made their way to Marco's room.
So what do you guys think of the first chapter? Sorry for typos and all that jazz :P
As for the other chapters they vary in size so some might be shorter/longer than others.
But I'm not putting up the other chapter(s) until I get a decent amount of reviews and responses. (I don't like being that person but I'm not gonna update this with only one-to-five reviews/responses)
And I'm serious when I say I don't know who the winner is gonna be cuz this story is practically writing itself.
Thatch: "Does a story ever really writes itself?"
Me: "Life."
"…"
"…"
Thatch: "Good point. Anyway, I think I can win!"
Ace: "No way, you'll cave way before I do, Thatch. You've been pranking for a long time so I doubt you have self-control for that."
"Yes I do!"
"Yeah, for three days."
Marco: "If anything, you'll burst into flames before Thatch gives in. It's harder controlling a Devil Fruit than the will to prank."
"Nobody asked you. Besides, Haruta will cave before any of us."
Haruta: "No I won't! If anything, Izou will! He's been wearing the same things forever!"
Izou: "Oi, no I haven't!"
Well, while they're busy bickering we can start betting on who's going to win :D But first…
Review, please! ^-^/~
