The game begins
Written by Stormsoul22
Chopper slowly peaked his head out of the medical bay and took a quick glance around. "There aren't any scary monsters" he kept repeating to himself "I'm a man, and men aren't scared of something that don't exist" he chanted to himself.
He took a few steps out of the room when suddenly a figure dressed in white came out from around the corner. "I'm gonna eat you!" It shouted.
Chopper let out a shriek of terror and dashed to the opposite corner, hiding in his usual way with most of his body sticking out.
The figure took the sheet off to reveal Usopp. "Ha-ha, gotcha didn't I?" He said with a broad grin on his face.
"T-That wasn't funny" Chopper half whimpered "I thought I was gonna die!"
"You get scared to easily" Usopp mocked "Just like the child you are"
"I-I'm not a child!" Chopper said "I'm a man, just like the others!"
"Oh yeah?" Usopp said "What kind of a man gets scared as easily as you?"
Chopper felt hands land on his shoulders, making him jump. "MONSTER!" He screamed and dashed off in in the opposite direction. He ran all the way without even paying attention to where he was heading. He ended up tripping over a pair of legs.
Chopper sat up feeling his nose, which was now bleeding "That hurt" He said.
"You should watch where you're going" Zoro mumbled.
"Chhhoooopppeeerrrr" A voice said. Chopper turned around quickly and saw a figure with a really scary face, one covered in blood with really sharp teeth.
Chopper let out a squeak of terror and hid behind Zoro's body, which was sitting down taking a nap. "Why you hiding behind me?" He asked. "Hey, don't you think you should give the kid a break?" He asked.
"I-I'm not a kid!" Chopper protested. He watched as the scary figure took off its mask to reveal Luffy. "You should have seen you're face!" he cried out while laughing.
Chopper made a small whimper and looked down. "I-I-I wasn't scared at all!" He protested, walking out from Zoro's protection.
"C'mon Luffy" He heard Usopp call "Let's go carve our pumpkins!"
"Coming!" Luffy shouted back as he ran towards the direction of the voice.
Chopper pulled his hat past his eyes. "I hate Halloween" He mumbled.

Chopper had finally gained enough courage to head into the kitchen and see what the others were up too. He could see Luffy and Usopp carving emptying their pumpkins, while Franky was busy carving his.
"Oi, Reindeer Gorilla" Franky said "Come on, Join us"
Chopper slowly headed over to the table "You think this looks SUPER enough?" Franky said as he turned his pumpkin around.
"S-Spooky" Chopper said at the sight of the pumpkins lit up face.
"You're kidding me" Usopp said "You can't even look at jack-o-lanterns without being scared?"
"I told you I'm not scared!" Chopper mumbled .
"Oh that's so sad!" Franky shouted, causing the other three to look at him in shock "Not being able to enjoy the love of a holiday because you're terrified at every little thing about it, that's so terrible reindeer!"
"Franky, it's not that big a deal" The three boys said in unison.
Chopper grabbed a pumpkin and quietly grumbled to himself as he emptied out all the seeding. He took his knife and carved out a simple design. "That's all?" Usopp asked.
"I'm a doctor, not an artist" Chopper said back, noticing Usopp's complex design of a black cat sitting in front of a moon.
"Mine is awesome!" Luffy shouted as he turned his pumpkin around to reveal squiggly lines that resembled nothing either boy could think of.
"It's…Unique?" Usopp said. "But what exactly is it?"
"It's our flag!" Luffy shouted "Couldn't you tell?"

"C'mon Nami!" Luffy shouted "We don't have all day, it's only Halloween for one night a year!"
"Don't talk to my lovely Nami~Swan in such a manor!" Sanji said as hearts flew from his eyes "Nami~Swan is so beautiful when decorating the ship"
"Idiots" Nami mumbled.
Chopper was busy hiding on the stairs.
"Aren't you going to help decorate?" He heard a voice ask, which made him jump in alarm. "Z-Zoro!" He said once he noticed the swordsman.
"Well?" The man asked.
"I would but…" Chopper said as he looked down through the bars of the ladder. "Why does Halloween have to be so scary?" He asked.
"Y'know it doesn't have to be" Zoro said.
"R-really?" The reindeer asked as he slowly moved down the stairs to stand next to the swordsman. "But what about all the ghosts and monsters?" He asked.
"Those don't even exist" Zoro said as he gently poked the reindeer in the nose, earning a giggle from the reindeer. "I think that at times like this, you should have fun"
"R-Really?" Asked the reindeer.
"Yea" said Zoro "Try to get into the spirit, not just get scared"
"The spirit" Chopper mumbled to himself.

Chopper was sitting with all the others with his hat pulled past his eyes. He was listening to one of Usopp's scary stories, trying to get into the spirit, like Zoro had said.
"So then" Usopp said in his story voice "When they found the blood covered wall with the message warning them to leave at once, you know what they did"
"Leave!" Chopper shouted "Leave while you still can!"
"They decided to check the next room" Usopp said. "And then when they opened the door, a giant ghost came out and shouted"
"BOO!" A voice from above came and a figure came swooping over the heads of the audience
Chopper screamed and got up and jumped off the ships railing, landing in the sand of the island they were ported at. "IT'S A GHOST!" He shouted in terror as he sprinted across the beach.
"Chopper finally stopped to catch his breath, he looked around and the Thousand Sunny was nowhere in sight. He heard a rattling noise from the small forest next to the beach. "H-Hello?" He said.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX
From above the figure was Sanji, sitting on the mast, holding the string that the ghost was attached too.
"That was too perfect!" Luffy and Usopp shouted together as they fell to the ground in laughter. "Did you see his face?"
"Uhh…Guys?" Nami said, looking over the railing. "I don't think he's coming back"
Both the boys stopped rolling around and sat up, still giggling to themselves. "Maybe we should go get him" Usopp suggested as he finally quit laughing.
"I'll go too" Nami said "I don't need you two scaring him more than he already is"
As the three carefully hopped off of the ship, they started to follow the tracks that Chopper left behind. "I still can't believe he fell for it" Luffy said as he wiped a tear from his eye.
"Unbelievable" Usopp agreed "That ghost looked so fake!"
"Will you two shut up?" Nami shouted at the two with razor sharp teeth.
Suddenly the three heard a high pitched scream in the distance. "W-What was that?" Usopp asked.
"Chopper!" Luffy shouted as he took off running in the direction of his nakama.
"Hey wait, do you think that's such a good idea?" Ussop called as he went after his captain "Don't leave me here all alone!"
Usopp noticed that Luffy had stopped dead in his tracks. "W-What's wrong?" Usopp panted. "Did you find hi-" But he stopped talking when he noticed an antler was lying on the ground, around it was a pool of what looked to be blood.
Luffy leaned down and picked up the antler. "Chopper?" He called out "Are you alright?"
"Hey Luffy look" Nami said. "It looked like he was dragged away" She said as Usopp noticed the trail of blood along with a large amount of pushed over sand.
Luffy took off running again in the direction of the trail "Not again!" Usopp shouted as he followed his captain once again, Nami behind him.
After running for a few moments into the forest Luffy stopped again. "It stopped" He said
"What did?" Usopp asked.
"The blood" Luffy said "The trail of blood stopped"
"Chopper" Luffy whispered "Where did you go?"
