As soon as I thought of this, and started imagining it, I just had to start writing it. There is more to come.

If anyone has any prompts or ideas for this, I will happily write them. ^.^

Nami smiles at the small blonde puppy sitting on the kitchen counter. The puppy barks happily, wagging his tail and looks up at her with adoration in his eyes. Carefully she ties a big red bow around the blonde's neck and softly kisses his nose before standing back and looking over her work.

The small puppy sits still with his head slightly raised presenting himself proudly to her with a glowing confidence. His coat is shiny and neatly trimmed, his eyes are bright, and the red bow is angled perfectly.

Pleased with her work, Nami reaches forward and squeals with delight as she scratches the pup's ear and grins as the pup laps up the attention.

"Sanji, Luffy is going to be so happy when he sees you."

The puppy barks again and nuzzles against her hand.

A few years ago, Nami had moved into Luffy and Ace's house. Ace had left to travel around the world, and did not want his brother to be left in such a big house all on his own.

Ever since she had moved in, Luffy had been constantly pestering her about getting a puppy. She refused every single time. Even though the kid had promised he'd be the one responsible for the thing, she knew that she'd end up looking after it. He didn't seem to realise what owning a puppy meant and what he would need to do, other than play with it.

The thing would need toys, a bed, collars, as well as needing to be micro chipped. They'd have to scout and find the best grooming services and veterinary practices, which will all need to be paid for, including the insurance. They would need to consider what type of breed they would get, would the puppy be from a breeder or an animal shelter? They would need to know what diet the puppy would need and what the best type/brand of food to buy would be. The list goes on and on.

Not forgetting the thing would need to be potty trained, walked at least once every day, and of course there is the teething…

Nami was completely against getting a puppy. Yeah some were cute, but it's just too much hassle to own one.

Correction, she was completely against getting a puppy. It seemed all it took for her to change her mind was to find the right one. She wasn't even looking, just out shopping for new clothes, when a woman handed her a flyer they were giving out. It turned out, that the woman was from an animal shelter just down the road. One look at this flyer was all it took for Nami to give in to Luffy's wishes and get the guy a puppy.

The puppy on that piece of paper was Sanji. The poor thing had been abandoned by its owner and had almost starved to death before it was picked up. Nami couldn't resist those sad eyes staring at her from the picture.

She couldn't resist those eyes now as they lovingly looked up at her from the kitchen counter.

The front door opens and she hears Luffy calling out to her.

"In here Luffy!"

She looks back down at the little puppy and talks quietly to him.

"Okay Sanji. Keep quiet and stay still."

The blonde pup obeys immediately, stilling his previously wagging tail, and not moving an inch. Nami turns around from the counter just as Luffy walks through the kitchen door.

"Look who I found Nami, isn't he so cool?"

She frowns as she sees what he was holding, a puppy. Its fur is matted and dirty, there is a scar where its left eye should be, and is that green fur?

Its horrible smell is spreading through the kitchen, but that isn't the only thing that is making her angry. What annoys her most is that if they keep it, they will have two puppies to pay for.

"Luffy you idiot! We are not keeping that thing!"

"Aww why can't we?" he asks, pouting.

"Because we already have Sanji!"

Luffy tilts his head to the side in question, "Eh, who's Sanji?"

She sidesteps and reveals the blonde puppy that still hasn't moved from his spot. At seeing the black haired boy he starts wagging his tail and barking happily in greeting.

Stars spin in Luffy's eyes as he excitedly runs over to the counter and pets the blonde pup.

"Hey Nami, why can't we keep both Sanji and Zoro?"

"Who's Zoro?"

He holds up the green pup in answer.

"No. I am not having two puppies running around here and messing stuff up. You take that thing down to the animal shelter, I'm sure they'll take it in."

Luffy looks at Nami pleadingly with puppy dog eyes. He looked more puppy like then the green thing in his arms. What is its name again? ….. Oh yeah, Zoro.

The green manky ball of fur just stares at her, impassively.

Nami looks back up at Luffy's expression and sighs, giving in. He cheers as he spins around and places the green puppy next to the blonde one on the counter.

"They are going to be great friends!"

Nami is not so sure about this. As soon as Zoro is placed next to Sanji, the blonde pup stops wagging his tail and turns away from the other, raising his head as in a smug manner. Zoro turns away too. Luffy just laughs and excuses it, saying they will be friends in no time.

The smell of the green pup hits Nami's nostrils again at full force, making her gag a little.

"Right that's it. I'm taking that thing for a bath."

She grabs Zoro, storms out of the kitchen and up the stairs to the bathroom, leaving Sanji with Luffy.

20 minutes later:

Nami is kneeling down on the floor, reaching over and scrubbing at the pup in the bathtub. She swears that the puppy is glaring at her. Can puppies even glare? Well, it certainly looks like this one is. She grabs the jug from the floor, fills it with lukewarm water from the bath, and gently pours it over Zoro, washing out the soap, avoiding his eyes and mouth.

What surprises her is that the puppy actually has green fur. She had thought it had gone that colour from either dirt or from some green liquid being spilled on him. But no, it is naturally green.

Nami drains the tub, and picks Zoro out with a towel. As soon as his paws reach the floor, the puppy shakes, splashing water everywhere and soaking Nami's clothes.

"ZORO!"

She hears Luffy laughing from the doorway and looks up at him as he places Sanji on the floor.

"It's not funny Luffy."

Luffy keeps laughing and she scowls at Zoro. She feels something warm and wet touch her hand. Looking down beside her, she smiles. Sanji is looking up at her as if apologising for the green pup's behaviour.

"Well at least someone has manners." She grumbles.

Nami picks up Sanji and scratches him behind his ear. The blonde looks at Zoro as if in a mocking manner. The green pup just turns away then walks out unaffected, and followed by Luffy.
