"Hey. You still up?"
"Yeah, you know I am."
"I know. Ironic that the therapist would be the one that has problems, eh?""
"Shut up. So, why are you up? Don't tell me you have insomnia too…"
"Not really. Just nightmares and I can't really sleep."
"That's insomnia. I can fix that."
"Fix yourself first. I hear the T.V. on. What are you watching?"
"Don't change the subject. It's this late night show called One Piece."
"So you've taken to watching lame shows now?"
"Shut up."
"What's it about?"
"Um… the main characters in a gang? Or a mafia thing… And they're trying to achieve their dreams? And they're going on adventures and meet new people and stuff."
"So why is it called One Piece? Is it something like how their lives all fit in like a jigsaw? You know, 'One Piece'."
"Nah. There's this treasure thing that all the gangs and mafia are trying to get because of a legendary dude named Gol D. Roger. It's called One Piece so the show's called One Piece."
"Oh. Tell me about the characters."
"I thought it was a lame show?"
"Shut up. I'm bored."
"Yeah, yeah. So the main character's name is Monkey D. Luffy. He's a meat loving idiot and pretty simple minded."
"What does he look like?"
"Um, he wears a straw hat. Sentimental thing. He's got a boyish face and a scar under his left eye. He's wearing a sleeveless red shirt and jean shorts. They've got like, fluff as trim."
"Fluff?"
"You know what. Turn on the T.V. It's on Channel …"
"Okay, okay. Let's see."
"You see him?"
"Is he the dude talking to the blonde? He obviously likes meat. And he's got a straw hat."
"Yeah, that's him."
"Oh. He's young, isn't he?"
"Yeah, I think he's 17. Or maybe 18."
"Youngsters these days."
"Mmm."
"So who's the blondie? What's up with his eyebrow?"
"Oh that's Sanji. He's the cook. He over curled his eyebrows. "
"Huh?"
"Well, he's in the gang too. The Straw Hat gang."
"Straw Hat?"
"Yeah, 'cause Luffy's the leader and he wears a straw hat?"
"Yeah, that makes sense. So why would they need a cook?"
"Have you seen the way Luffy eats? Look at the screen properly!"
"Yeah. That's… actually amazing… How is he fitting all those meat? And why is he not choking?"
"Dunno. You're the nurse, not me. Sanji's the personal chef."
"That makes sense. And don't bring my job into this. Who's the … green hair…?"
"That's Zoro. The green hair's natural. He's in the gang too. He's the bodyguard? I don't really know. The first gang-mate though."
"Why do I feel like there's sexual tension between the blonde and the green head?"
"There is no sexual tension between them!"
"Look at them! They're arguing to relive it!"
"That's called an argument!"
"You may be the people magic worker but I worked in a bar before. I've seen different types of people; cheating CEOs, divorced drunk drivers, little freshies barely out of college. I know all the different kinds of tensions when I see it. This! This is sexual tension, trust me."
"It is not! You're just reading too much into things."
"Tch. Wanna bet? Who's the redhead?"
"That's Nami. She controls the finance o the gang. Greedy little bitch."
"Finance?"
"Well, they've got to have some funds, even if it's just for parties."
"Oh. Why the hell is the old man with the afro coming over?"
"Because he's Brook and he's part of the gang. The musician to be exact."
"Musician? What's up with the yohohohos? And the skull jokes. Is he a doctor too?"
"Luffy likes music. Yohohohos and skull jokes are what makes Brook special! And Chopper's the doctor."
"Hey, where're they going?"
"To Franky's workshop. They're meeting there with the rest."
"Why does she look so shady?"
"She's an archaeologist and historian! She's not shady."
"She's totally shady! Look at the way she's sitting in the corner, smiling! It's like she's planning for murder or something."
"Well, she's in a gang. She's allowed to be shady."
"Totally shady. Who's the flamboyant blue haired muscle head?"
"Franky. He's a mechanic. He takes care of the transportation."
"Transportation?"
"The gang likes to travel around."
"Bushy haired kid?"
"Usopp. He's just part of the gang. He's more of an inventor and storyteller."
"Why's his nose so long?"
"Genetic trait."
"You sure he's not making up for something else?"
*Cough* "You made me choke on my water! That was just really mean."
"But it's probably true. Anyways who's the kid?"
"He's not a kid!"
"Sorry, I meant midget."
"I'll have you know Chopper's in college already. In the medical department to boot. And he's just 17."
"You know, all I got from that was the kid's a 17 year old medical nerd and he's short for his age."
"He's got a condition!"
'What? Napoleon Syndrome? Either way, he's short."
"You know, I don't think I like the sleep deprived you."
"Whatever. So there's… nine people in the group?"
"Yeah."
"Seems… interesting."
"You know, that tone just means that you think it's lame. Give it a try."
"Yeah, yeah. Nothing else to do anyways."
"I'm kinda tired. I think I'll go to bed."
"Yeah. "
"Wait. What?"
"I already told you!"
"The dude's her drug dealing ex-boyfriend? Robin's?"
"Yes!"
"She's shady but…but…I thought she would have more taste than that! He's got a fur coat and a hook! Why did she find that attractive?!"
"Maybe she likes a mystery?"
"What's mysterious about a guy with a cigar and a hook? And his name!"
"Well, maybe she goes for the mafia looking type… It's not like you haven't dated douche bags before."
"True…"
"Anyway, the douche bag was why Robin met Luffy and joined the gang."
"Really?"
"Yeah. She broke up with him, tried to get out of the business except he kept threatening her and she got dragged along."
"Asshole."
"And Luffy got up in the whole big debacle of Crocodile and a young heiress named Vivi. He was going to take over their family business and get the money. Vivi got help from Luffy after they tried o con the team."
"Wait, Vivi? The sweet little blue haired Vivi? By the way, what's up with all these weird hair colors? I mean, Zoro's is green."
"That's just the way it is. But yeah, Vivi was in the drug ring, trying to infiltrate the ring. They met Luffy after trying to con them and after an assassination attempt on Vivi from the ring, Luffy decided to help."
"I think the guy's got too good of a heart. Who helps someone who tried to con them?"
"You know what, you're going to come over for the weekend and we'll watch the show from the start."
"But I have – "
"No arguments. I'm not going to explain every character over and over again. And don't deny it. I know you want to watch it."
"You know me too well. Fine, I'll give up sleeping in to watch it."
Long Note:
I know this is kind of sucky but I just really wanted to write it. I had this idea for quite some time and yay! I finally get to write it because my Straw Hat finally got Brook on the crew. I'm actually at Sabaody Archipelago since the story took some time.
Plot:
Basically, One Piece's a late night T.V show with two people watching it. It will be told through the comments of two people. Unless I want to change it for a chapter.
Note that the two people are very half-assed-ly made. They don't even have names. They might be Jennifer and Penelope one dya and Lola and Helen another. They might even change gender, depending on what I feel like writing. You guys can give me names and I'll probably just use them.
The crew is now a gang. It's something like mafia but not really; on a smaller scale, maybe. I actually don't have much of an idea with this one. They're still on the wrong side of the law, I suppose.
I'm probably going to follow the story line of One Piece. The scenarios are obviously going to be a tad different. I'll be adding a few things, taking out others. The chapters might be random since I could forget one thing and add it later.
Pairings:
As you can see, I had CrocRo (is that the name?) and insinuated ZoSan, but it's all going to change. I'm going to add random relationships (parental, lovers etc). You guys can give me pairings you want to see in this, if you want. I don't care if it's really weird or unheard of like... Coby and Paula (Miss Doublefinger). Or a family one like Boa Hancock being the half sister of Lola (the pirate at Thriller Bark) because their mother slept with... the old man from the island full of sheep (not quite sure how the genes work in this one 'cause everyone else and Boa...)? I don't know.
Scenarios:
I'm hoping the relationships and everything will become more complicated (just because I like complicated stuff. I love family trees and trying to figure out who's who's cousin and who married who.) You guys can suggest me ridiculous scenarios like... Chimney turning into a man who looks like young Tom and Kokoro-san falling in love with him/her all the while Gonbe is being terrorized by a giant tarantula and Iceburg can't come help because he's trapped in court after falling in love with a very very beautiful Yagara and a disgruntle owner sued him. Something.
Characters:
I'm not going to know all of the characters as I haven't watched everything. I do know all the characters up to Sabaody Archipelago and some others like Boa Hancock mentioned above as I've read fanfictions. If I don't know the character in the scenario/relationship, I'll keep it on hold.
I hoped you enjoyed the intro and will keep reading. I won't blame you if you don't because it's all over the place. This is my first time trying out the whole comment showing plot thing and adding humor. I hope I did okay.
