'Oh, it's March 2? My birthday... And as every year, no presents, no birthday cards, no singing, just sadness...' A guy with blonde hair was now in the kitchen, preparing food for the Straw Hats. He never told anyone it was his birthday… This would just give everyone a bad time thinking about his past, feeling sorry for him. He really didn't want all this.

He heard something on the deck. 'Oh, probably Luffy and Zoro doing something stupid again. Just as every simple day of my life…' Thoughts like these never left his mind. They were his mind now.

'Heh, all my life I only got one present. And it wasn't the worst, I could say… On my tenth birthday Zeff did get me a new knife… I still have it right here, in my hand. No matter what kitchen I'm in, this knife will stay with me.'

He heard something outside again. 'Maybe I should see what those idiots are doing this time?' With this thought he left the kitchen, but bumped into Chopper, who was standing right outside the kitchen.

"Hey, Sanji! Is the food done yet?" His eyes were sparkling, and Sanji smiled widely.

"No, wait a little. I'm going to check on those numbskulls." He started walking, but Chopper grabbed his leg.

"Pleeeease, Sanji! I'm so hungry…" His eyes were now teary.

"Oh, fine… I'll finish cooking and then go check on those two." When he turned away, Chopper showed a thumbs-up for Nami, who was looking to Chopper with worry on her face.

When she saw Chopper's sign, she sighed in relief. They could finish everything!

Finally, the food was done, but Chopper still didn't let Sanji go, asking for seconds.

"Oh, Sanji! Did I ever tell you how awesome are you? Your cooking is the best! I want more!" Sanji looked to the reindeer with surprise on his face.

"Chopper, are you feeling okay? You're eating much more than usual… What's wrong?"

"What? N-Nothing's wrong! I'm just… hungry! That-That's all!" He was stuttering really bad. Sanji's look got even more suspicious.

"Chopper?.. What's wrong?" Chopper was getting all sweaty and tried not to look at Sanji.

"Aggghhh! My finger! Goddamn it, Zoro! Hold it properly!" Luffy's voice came flying through the window.

"All right! That is it! I'm going to check on them, and nothing's gonna stop me!" Right when he finished his words, Nami came in.

"Hey, Sanji-kun! Could you get me something to eat? I'm a little hungry…" Sanji's eyes were now sparkling.

"Hai, Nami-san ! " He got her some soup, and stayed watching his love eat.

"Oh, Sanji! This is so good! Could I get some more?"

"Of course, Nami-san ! " He went to fill up her bowl again.

When Nami finally finished her food, All three of them went to the deck. Suddenly, Zoro, Luffy, Usopp, Robin and Franky jumped out, screaming "Happy birthday" to Sanji, while Brook played his violin. All crew was now standing and singing for Sanji, who couldn't move because of the happiness.

"You guys… How did you know?"

"Zeff told us. Here, your presents are right there! Enjoy your birthday!" Luffy's smile was so huge, Sanji started to wonder, how his face wasn't torn apart. Well, who cares? They knew it was his birthday, they even got him presents!

"Guys… I can't believe you did this! Whose Idea was it, anyway?" A really annoyed Zoro came up to him.

"Mine. Hope your birthday will be good." Sanji looked at the swordsman with disbelief. His idea?

"Zoro… Thanks."

"Heh, no problem, Sanji. A friend is a friend, after all." They shook hands and went off with the crew to celebrate.

'Heh, guess this is what birthdays mean.' Sanji thought, before cutting the cake.

Hey guys! This was a story to celebrate Sanji's birthday ;) Enjoy :P Oh, and reviews would be nice ^^
