Well, I was bored today and I decided to type this. XD It was actually a dream and I just HAD to write it. XD It was really funny in my head, and hopefully I can convey it to you.
Some things to know: This story has my OCs from my other story "Something Worthwhile", Saro and Lin. It has nothing to do with the plot in that story. This is just something random I dreamed up. That's all, so have fun!
The Contest!
Lin lounged about on the round table out on deck, the umbrella shading her from the sun. Nami sat on the other side, looking at a map and sipping at her tropical drink. Robin also sat nearby, of course reading another one of her books. Lin rested her head against the table and slumped forward, bored as ever. She looked about the ship and observed the crew.
"Chopper and Usopp are talking to each other. He's probably telling him stories right?" she idly said, Nami nodding in answer. Lin looked around again and saw Zoro looking out at the sea, maybe deep in thought.
"That's something you don't see everyday. Zoro's not sleeping, training, or eating," she commented. Robin glanced over, nodded, and went back to her book. A breeze blew by and Lin sat up, sighing, and leaning back in her chair. She blew a hair from in front of her face and noticed Luffy sitting against the side while Saro leaned back against it next to him, the two of them talking.
"Saro and Luffy are getting to know each other better, aren't they?" said Lin happily. Nami sighed, and openly agreed.
"You're actually right. They do get along, more than the rest of us," she remarked just as Sanji came out of the kitchen and slid down the rails towards the women. He held out a tray that held a glass of another tropical drink. He held it out for Lin and she gleefully accepted it.
"Thanks Sanji!" she said, quickly taking a sip. "Delicious!"
"Ah, Lin-chan, your angelic voice fills my soul with joy and happiness. Your bright eyes pierced my heart like the arrow of Cupid," he recited, making her blush and giggle. Another wind blew while Sanji began complimenting the other women, and Lin turned back to Saro and Luffy. Luffy looked up and noticed some flower petals floating by suddenly, reached up his hand, and grabbed a small group of them still stuck together.
"I wonder where those petals came from," she asked, her mouth biting the straw. He stood up and held it out, showing Saro. She looked with interest and felt at the petals, her eyes half closing from the soothing touch. He pushed it closer to her, Lin seeing him mouth the words "Here, you can have it".
"Aw… so kawaii…" she cooed, noticing Saro not knowing what to do. Nami looked up and felt a surge to agree with Lin. Robin looked up and smiled in subtle agreement.
"He probably doesn't even know that it's even a little romantic," muttered Sanji, though he had to admit the two of them looked a little cute next to each other. Lin shot up from her seat and had a face of excitement.
"Let's have a contest! Battle of Romance!" Suddenly, there was a loud boom, smoke flying everywhere. The ship disappeared and they showed up on a talk show type set. The audience area was filled up with thousands of fan girls cheering and whistling. The crew stared out at them nervously as Lin laughed and turned around, grabbing a microphone.
"Welcome to Battle of Romance where the men on the Luffy Pirate crew will battle it out, trying to be the most romantic character!" she announced. The fan girls screamed and waved several posters and flags.
"Where are we?!" exclaimed Zoro, waking up from everything. Sanji was going nuts by all the attention and didn't know which way to look. Nami and Robin were stationed behind a table, content with their current situation.
"Ok, everyone calm down while I explain the rules!" After several screams of the character's names, they finally quieted down.
"How do they know our names?" asked Luffy. Saro glanced over, shocked and nervous but Lin covered it up by ignoring him.
"This is how it goes. There'll be three judges: Nami-san, Robin-san, and myself! We'll be judging on the scale of 1-10. The three contestants will be Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji because Usopp has Kaya and Chopper is too young," explained Lin, resulting in an annoyed Zoro.
"I'm not doing this!" he argued, moving to leave. But Lin stopped him by explaining in his ear, "You see that little wall barrier right there? That's there so the fan girls don't rip you guys apart. If you leave, I'll just have to move that wall aside." Zoro stood still, not needing her to finish the rest of it.
"You wouldn't dare…"
"If I got us here, than why wouldn't I?" she remarked. He sat down and shut up while Lin said some final announcements.
"You three will be setting up a romantic date with…." A drum roll played as the lights danced about. "Saro!" The lights landed on her as she stood there, her eyes widened and her jaw somewhat dropped.
"What are you doing?!" she exclaimed, shaking her friend by the shirt.
"Come on! I'm already a judge with Nami and Robin, and you're the only one that won't do anything to them on this show!" she explained. Saro glared at her, her hands shaking.
"You owe me big time for this…" she muttered, letting go and returning to the center. The audience cheered again and screamed out the names of the three contestants. They even wore shirts with hearts and the manes of characters in it.
"Just imagine the date and it'll happen, so let round one begin!"
Nothing much right now, but just you wait! Please review! It'll make me happy! It'll also tell me if I should keep posting up chapters. Well, until next chapter!
