Luffy felt the blood drain from his head as it hit the ground. He was laying on Zoro's tattered old couch upside down with boredom. His eyes moved from the old, brown carpet to the wall of Zoro's bedroom that contained multiple trophies, medals, certificates, and other proof of Zoro's victories. He looked over to one corner of the room where a giant case containing three polished swords sat. His eyes finally wondered over to the owner of said swords. There Zoro was, laying on the floor on the other side of the room, snoring like it was his job. Honestly, Luffy had never heard anyone that snored as loud, but he found humor in it. He laughed at Zoro's posture. Zoro was laying on his side with his legs curled up to his chest. He had one arm propped up under his head as a pillow, the other cuddling a green teddybear Luffy once won him at a fair when they were kids. Zoro probably slept at least fifteen hours a day. It was kind of ridiculous and Luffy didn't understand but he figured Zoro was just some kind of special species of sloth and left it at that. They had been no more than five minutes into the movie Luffy brought over before Zoro ended up falling asleep. Luffy didn't normally mind Zoro's habit of falling asleep since his older brother Ace's narcalepsy made him used to it. However, Luffy had been really excited about this new movie he had finally managed to get his hands on, and Zoro knew it. There was no way he was watching this alone.

"YO, ZORO!" Luffy called as he twisted up from his laying down position and chucked a pillow at Zoro's face.

Zoro jolted up immediately and looked around trying to process what had just happened. The uncontrollable laughter coming from his best friend gave him a pretty good idea of what had happened. He looked around and grabbed the pillow that had just woke him up and threw it back at Luffy with twice the force. Luffy's laughter was quickly silenced as the pillow made contact with his face. After falling and hitting the floor, Luffy quickly sat back up and pouted at Zoro.

"What was that for?" He whined.

"Don't give me that! You hit me first, don't lie!" Zoro retorted, rubbing his nose.

"Only because you fell asleep on me and this amazing movie."

Zoro looked between Luffy's upset face and the DVD he was holding up. "What is this even about?" He asked crawling over to where Luffy was sitting against the couch.

"My dream."

"Your dream?'

"Yes."

Zoro looked at him with his usual stern expression. "Okay, you have a lot of dreams. I'm going to need you to be more specific."

"No, I mean, my dream."

Zoro's eyes widened for a second before returning to his normal expression. "You're still into that?" He asked, taking the DVD from Luffy's hand.

"Of course." He replied with a firm nod.

"Hm." Zoro nodded while reading the back of the DVD. It was about a boy who always loved music and used it to get through depression. He creates his own band and becomes world-known. Or something like that.

"So are you gonna watch this with me or not?"

"I guess it looks okay." Zoro said putting the DVD down. "Start it over."

"We have no choice to since you went and fell asleep." Luffy said frowning at him. "But oh well. We're watching it now."

"Yeah..."

The movie started with the main character being pushed against a locker, his supplies knocked out of his hands, and being called names. Typical. He turned his head to Luffy. He was sitting on his knees looking up at the TV screen with admiration. He really wanted to watch this movie. Zoro decided he's watch the movie for Luffy's sake.

Famous band, huh... Zoro wasn't sure he'd enjoy the attention. He wouldn't mind having fans and small concerts, but to be world-known... that takes time and patience. But Luffy wouldn't have that. Luffy wanted to be known by everyone now. But more than that, he wanted to inspire everyone. He wanted to make people happy and feel like they have a place to belong. Just like what Brook did for him. Luffy wanted to go far. Of course that would never happen. At least not through music. Luffy had zero singing talent. Zoro knew this more than anyone. Luffy would tie Zoro to a chair if that was what it took to make him listen to him sing, and when he does, Zoro swears his ears bleed. It's impressive really, though there aren't very many people you can inspire with that kind of talent.

"Oi, Zoro..."

"Hm..."

"Zoro..."

"Hm?.."

"Do you like music?"

"Hn."

"You like it a lot?"

"Hn."

"We should start a band."

"Hn."

Wait...

"Wait, what?! You realize you have no singing talent what-so-ever, right!?"

"Wow, Zoro I thought you were my friend! And yes, I recognize my own weaknesses, but you could sing! I can ask Ace to teach me how to play his guitar! It's perfect!"

"Woah, woah , woah. I don't sing, Period." Zoro said sternly.

"That's okay we can find someone else to sing for our band. I bet you would be good at the drums!" Luffy replied with a large grin.

"...Drums?" That actually sounded kind of interesting... An instrument whose beats led the rest of the band. An instrument that was harsh, yet soft... arranged, yet free... he liked it. But other people? "...Fine... But only if you can become decent at the guitar."

"HORRAY!" Luffy jumped onto Zoro wrapping his arms around him in a large hug.

"Lu... ... you- you're choking me.." Zoro stuttered out from below his small and strangely strong friend.

"Whoops, sorry Zoro." Luffy grinned, "Oh this is going to be great, I know exactly who to ask to be our singer."

"Really, you know someone?" Zoro asked surprised.

"Yup! Now let's finish the movie!" Luffy declared, turning back to the screen and pressing play.

Zoro wasn't sure what he had just agreed to, but it probably wasn't his greatest decision.
