Chapter One: Bored

It was a week before Halloween came along, and the Strawhats, Ace, Law, Kidd and Marco were in Usopp"s basement, completely bored out of their minds. Did I mention that it was at night? Yes, I'm talking about a sleepover, because Luffy had insisted on it.

"So….. Anyone had any ideas about what we can do?" Nami questioned.

"Eh… I have no idea!" Luffy happily stated.

"Hmm…. How 'bout we do the hundred stories?" Usopp suggested.

Everyone stared at him in silence, save for Robin, wondering what the hell he was talking about. Usopp sweat dropped, until Robin broke the silence. "The hundred stories is a game. All of us have lighted candles, and the lights are off. We sit in a circle, going around telling ghost/horror stories. After we finish our story, we blow out our candles. They say after the last candle is out, something appears." Robin finished explaining.

Once again, the room was met by silence as everyone contemplated whether or not to play the game. "Why not." Marco was the first one to answer.

"Sounds like fun!" Luffy almost shouted.

"Eh. Whatev-zzzzzzz." Ace said, just before he fell asleep (again).

After that, murmurs of approval went around. Robin smiled. "Well, Usopp, do you have 13 candles?"

"Hmm… Let me ask Dad." Usopp ran upstairs.

A few minutes later, Usopp reappeared, holding 13 candles. He handed them out, as Sanji lit them. After gathering into a circle, Luffy turned the lights off. "So… Who's starting first?" Luffy questioned.

"Good question…. No answer." Zoro stated.

"Oh, oh! Can I go first?" Luffy excitedly shouted.

Nami sighed and rolled her eyes, as Robin smiled. "Sure. Why not?"
