It was a boring day.
And it wasn't the simple just-a-little-bored-and-I'll-do-something-productive-to-relieve-it bored... It was the lie-on-your-back-seeing-if-the-sun-will-fry-your-eyes bored.
At least it was for Luffy, Usopp, and Amy. Granted, they weren't lying down, but they were sitting around in the crow's nest, Amy and Luffy sitting at staring upward and Usopp trying to find an island.
'Man, this is boring...' Amy thought, glancing around. 'I'm almost desperate to bring up... wait...'
Amy sat up a bit, thinking, then grinning, giggling madly.
"Eh? Hey, what's so funny?" Luffy asked. "Oo! Is it a joke? Tell me!"
Amy shook her head. "Even better!" She said. "I just thought of a game we could play!"
Even Usopp was interested. "Really? What is it?"
Amy grinned. "It is called..." She paused for effect. And after a few short moments... "The 'In my pants' Game!"
"WHA!" Usopp yelled in shock.
Luffy just blinked. "That sounds interesting. What do you do?" He asked. "Do you tell people what you store in your pants?"
"No..." Amy said. "It's very simple. All you have to do is end every single sentence you say with 'in my pants'."
Both Usopp and Luffy blinked.
"I shall give you an example..." Amy said, clearing her throat. "I want to know when lunch is in my pants... I would very much like to know why the sky is blue in my pants..."
At the end, they were snickering. Her grin broadened.
"Yeah yeah! I wanna play!" Luffy said excitedly.
"So do I!" Usopp said.
"Okay, and we have to play this game for the WHOLE DAY... or until we drive the other's too darn crazy..." Amy explained, and they all giggled.
"Okay, okay..." Amy said. "And it starts... now in my pants!"
"Okie dokie, in my pants!" Luffy said.
"We have to say interesting things..." Usopp said, then blinked. "Uh... in my pants..."
Luffy and Amy snickered.
"This can end up being very awkward..." Usopp said.
"Eh...?" Amy said. "In my pants...?"
"Oh yeah, in my pants." Usopp said.
"That's the fun of it in my pants!" Amy said happily, causing Luffy to laugh.
"If we get in trouble because of it, I'm blaming you in my pants!" Usopp said. After a pause, they started laughing.
"Ah... this is gonna be an interesting day in my pants..." Amy said, causing Usopp and Luffy to laugh even more.
"Where'd you come up with this game in my pants?" Usopp asked.
"I used to play it with my friends in my pants..." Amy said.
"Was it fun in my pants?" Luffy asked, Usopp laughing.
"Oh, yes, it was very fun in my pants..." Amy said, all of them laughing now.
"What's going on up there?"
Amy leaned over the edge, grinning to see it was Nami. Sanji must've been in the kitchen, and typical Zoro was fast asleep.
Oh, this was gonna get interesting.
"There is nothing going on in my pants!" Amy called, almost breaking out in a fit of giggles, not only from the strange look on Nami's face, but the laughter from Luffy and Usopp coming from behind her.
"Do I want to know?" Nami asked, giving her a look.
"You may, and yet, you may not want to in my pants..." Amy said, grinning.
Nami kept staring.
"Don't worry, Nami!" Usopp said. "We're just playing a game in my pants!"
There was a commotion in the kitchen and Usopp yelped and fell back, causing Amy and Luffy to laugh.
Nami blinked. "A game that makes you end each sentence with 'in my pants'?" She asked.
"Yes it is in my pants!" Luffy shouted, falling over and laughing some more with Usopp, Amy holding her gut because she was laughing so hard, and it only got harder as there was more commotion in the kitchen.
Nami rolled her eyes, grinning. "All right, carry on!" She said.
"Oh we will in my pants!" Amy said. She then sighed, grinning as Luffy's and Usopp's laughing died down. "I gotta admit, this is better than doing something more productive in my pants."
They didn't start laughing until there was a very loud bang from the kitchen, causing Zoro to wake up. Amy fell back this time, laughing with Usopp and Luffy.
"I know! It's very fun in my pants!" Luffy said, quite loudly, all three giggling madly.
"What the hell are you three doing up there?"
They all just laughed harder, and Amy looked over to see Zoro looking confused and pissed.
"We're doing nothing wrong in my pants..." Amy said, Luffy and Usopp giggling.
"Yeah yeah. We're just playing a game in my pants!" Usopp said, all three laughing.
At this, Sanji burst through the kitchen, glaring up at the crow's nest.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO POOR AMY-CHAN!" He yelled up at them.
"We're just making her laugh a lot in my pants!" Luffy said, causing Amy to laugh, but Usopp lost his laughter when he saw Sanji's angered look.
"I'M GONNA KILL YOU FOR TOUCHING AMY-CHAN!" Sanji yelled angrily, rolling up his sleeves.
"NOT IF I GET THERE FIRST, ERO-COOK!" Zoro growled.
Amy knew then that this was gonna be bad. If her intuition didn't tell her, Usopp's cowering in fear and Luffy's somewhat stealthy scooting did.
"It's okay, Sanji-kun, Zoro-kun! They're not doing anything to me! We're just playing an innocent little game!"
"WHAT THE HELL'S INNOCENT ABOUT BEING IN SOMEONE'S PANTS!" Zoro yelled angrily. And personally, Amy thought it would've been comical if it were any other situation.
"It's innocent because we're just ending our sentences with the words 'in my pants'!" Amy yelled, causing Zoro and Sanji to pause.
"Eh?" They both said.
"It's called the 'in my pants' game..." Amy said. "You play it by ending every sentence with 'in my pants'!"
There was a long pause, except for Nami's attempts to silence her giggling.
"You're not allowed to play that game anymore..." Zoro stated, walking back over to where he was originally, sitting and closing his eyes.
"Aw, but I wanna play it in my pants!" Luffy said.
"For once I agree with the marimo." Sanji said. He then pouted. "I was very worried for you, Amy-chan!"
His pout pulled her heart strings. "Okay, okay... we won't..."
"Promise?" Zoro asked, opening one eye and looking at her.
"I swear!" Amy said, holding up a hand, Luffy giggling.
Zoro gave her a questioning look, but went back to sleep.
"Very well." Sanji said. "Lunch will be ready shortly!"
Luffy and Usopp didn't hear any of it, snickering madly. Amy just grinned down at him as he walked back into the kitchen.
And then she uncrossed her fingers.
