Hyperactive
Nami was sat at her desk working quietly on completing her map for the last island they had stopped at to re-stock. Pausing for a moment, she sipped at the sweet tea Sanji had brought her. A small smirk tugged at her lips as she remembered how the daft blonde had swooned and spun in circles, singing about "how cute Nami-swan is when she thanks me" when she had gratefully accepted the hot beverage. She sighed and replaced the delicate china cup to its saucer, before returning to her map. The soft groaning of the Going Merry soothing her as it sailed through the Grand Line.
She had almost perfected her precious map after another hour or so. She was about to add the last few details, when a very loud explosion, followed by various shouts from her fellow crew members sounded from on deck, causing the ginger-haired girl to jump and spill ink all over her latest masterpiece. The latest masterpiece which had taken days to complete. She gaped at the ruined piece of paper that lay on her desk a moment, utterly horrified, before a shadow fell on her face and a vein twitched in her forehead. Furious, she raised her fist and stormed out of the room, kicking the door open roughly and staring down at the deck.
"Alright, who was that? I thought I asked for a little peace and quiet!" she yelled. Everybody on deck turned to look at her, scared looks on their faces for fear of being singled out for Nami's wrath. Upon closer inspection of her crew mates, Nami was slowly becoming less angry and more… confused. Sanji was wielding a frying pan like a club, Zoro had one of his swords drawn, and a large bruise on his cheek, Chopper was in his human form, Usopp had a terrified look on his face (which Nami doubted was entirely down to her) and Luffy was… not there.
Nami dropped her fist, her face quickly becoming a total mask of confusion.
"What on earth is going on?" she asked. Robin appeared from within the kitchen at that moment, a sheepish grin on her face and her hands held out in a mock-surrender. "I apologise for the noise miss navigator," -cue swooning from a certain blonde cook about how lovely his Robin-chwaan is when she's apologising- "but remember that tub of bonbon's I bought for Chopper, Luffy and Usopp at the last island?" Nami nodded, remembering. It had been nearly as big as Chopper and was full of the brightly coloured toffee sweets.
"Well…" Robin trailed off, her eyes drifting up towards the crows nest, where a bout of maniacal laughter had suddenly erupted. Nami could swear she'd just seen Zoro and Sanji, two of the strongest members of the crew, shudder in fear. Ignoring it, Nami turned her attention back to Robin. "Luffy has them. The whole tub."
Nami's face dropped, mirroring the utter terror on Usopp's face.
"Oh crap!" she shouted, resorting to gripping the wooden railing before her for support lest her knees buckle.
"You're telling us. He's on a massive sugar rush, and he's already caused a ton of havoc," Sanji muttered, lighting a cigarette and taking a long drag "So far he's trashed my kitchen, whacked Moss-head around the face with one of his big ass dumbbells, tried to eat chopper, again, and that explosion you just heard wa-"
"was Luffy wasting nearly half of my explosives!" Usopp cried, interrupting Sanji.
"And he still has those damn bonbons!." Zoro finished of, having resumed his defensive stance at the foot of the mast and glaring at the crows nest. Just then, Luffy's head dropped down from the mast, bouncing off the floorboards. For a brief moment Nami wondered how his straw hat was managing to stay on even though Luffy's head was upside down. His pupils were dilated nearly all the way, showing just how much sugar the young captain had consumed, and a massive grin was plastered across his face.
"BOO!" he shouted, before snapping his neck back up to the crows nest, reuniting his head and the rest of his body. More maniacal laughing ensued.
Nami sighed. "Right well we need to get him to stop eating those damn sweets long enough for him to calm down. Robin, can you take care of that?" she asked, looking at the purple-clad archaeologist. Robin nodded, and crossed her arms before her.
"tres fleur"
The crew glanced up to the top of the mast to see three tanned arms sprout out from the rim of the crows nest. A short yelp of surprise was heard from Luffy, followed by giggles, as the offending tub of sweets was tossed from one slender arm to the next, before being thrown to Robin, who caught it with ease.
"Right, now that that's done; boys, its your job to calm him down before he sinks the Going Merry." Nami said, turning away from them, followed by a smirking Robin.
"Hey! Hold on! Where are you going? And who put you in charge anyway?" Zoro asked, glaring at her. The navigator turned around, tucking a ginger curl behind her ear.
"I have to go and draw my map for the last island, again. And I'm in charge since none of you boys had the sense to take the bonbons off of Luffy before he got all hyperactive. Problem?" she asked sweetly, with a malicious glint in her eye, pactically daring Zoro to say something
"Er… No…" the green haired swordsman stuttered, his spine stiffening. Nami grinned and continued to walk back to her room, followed by Robin.
"Good." She said, before pulling the door closed behind her and the older woman. The deck was silent for a moment, the only sounds being the gentle lapping of the sea against the hull of the Merry and a soft giggles coming from above. That silence was broken however, when Sanji started to swoon, big pink love hearts in his eyes.
"Ah~! Nami-Swan is so beautiful when she's threatening the shitty swordsman!" he sang, spinning in a circle, hands clasped together by his head in joy. Zoro unsheathed a second sword and span around to face the blonde, swords poised for attack.
"Call me that again Love-Cook!" he snarled in rage. Sanji turned on him and was about to enter into another fight with the green haired teen, when Luffy literally dropped down onto the deck, landing on his head. Usopp jumped into Choppers arms, squealing, and Chopper shrieked.
"Cool! A game! I wanna play! I wanna plaay!" Luffy shouted, completely unfazed by the fact that he was still on his head, a massive grin on his face and his shoulders shaking ever so slightly with unspent energy.
"And that's my cue to leave!" Sanji shouted, backing away quickly and tightening his grip on the frying pan clutched to his chest. "I, er, have to go put dinner on!" he stated, before dashing through the open door of his kitchen
"We'll help" Usopp and Chopper shouted in unison, running into the kitchen after Sanji, Usopp still in Choppers arms, before Zoro even had chance to protest.
"Traitors!" Zoro shouted after them, dread filling his usually fearless heart. His young captain was hard enough to deal with on a normal day, let alone when he was on a sugar rush! Grumbling, he turned back to face Luffy, who had managed to get himself into a sitting position. Dreading the consequences of what he was about to say, Zoro sighed.
"So… what do you want to do then?" he asked nervously. Luffy just grinned even harder and broke into fits of giggles, bouncing up and down.
~a few hours later~
Everybody was gathering in the Merry's small kitchen, awaiting the undoubtedly mouth watering meal Sanji had prepared with the help of Usopp and Chopper. Only two people were missing from the crowded table.
"Hey, where's Luffy and the moss head?" Sanji asked as he set down plates full of steaming pasta, sitting in a delectable cheesy sauce, and garnished with various herbs.
As if to answer his question, Luffy opened the door to the kitchen at that moment and wandered in, finding him self a seat at the bench, a tired smile on his lips. Everybody tensed.
"Hi guys." Luffy said with a yawn.
"Y-you okay Luffy?" Nami asked hesitantly. Luffy nodded his response, his rubber mouth full of pasta and his eyes drooping a little. Everybody breathed a sigh of relief, one thought going through every bodys mind. 'After that much sugar its not surprising he's so tired now it's all worn out.'
"That's one down, but that still leaves the moss head." Sanji muttered as he found himself a seat. Chopper, who was sitting next to Luffy, noticed the tip of a pink feather sticking out of his pocket, and was about to ask about it when again, as if to answer Sanji's question, the door was slammed open and an exhausted, and ever-so-slightly-pissed looking Zoro entered the room. His short green hair was even messier than usual and his white shirt was covered with dirt, and a fierce scowl was fixed on his face.
"Zoro?" Usopp ventured, only to shut up after a death glare from the swordsman.
"You guys owe me booze. Lots of booze, and a day off too." he growled as he sat down, before picking up a fork and digging in. Everybody sweatdropped, and began their meals, except for a certain dark haired captain, who pushed his straw hat off his head so that it was hanging around his neck, and ate on, totally oblivious to the trouble he had caused that day.
'There never is a quiet day when you're a part of this crew…' Nami thought happily.
So there you have it guys! The first fanfiction ever to be published by me, King Pingu the Super Squee. The first fanfiction somebody other than myself has read! usually I don't let anybody read what I write, so I really feel like I'm throwing my self to the lions a bit with this, especially since I'm releasing it to, like, a bazillion people when it really would be easier to show one person. "^_^
I have several really long fanfictions in the works, but as I want those to get a bit of audince, I thought I'd come up with a few little one shots before I release the big ones to get my name out there a little bit!
Anyway, I came up with the idea for this when my friend reminded me of one afternoon at school, when I had literally eaten a whole packet of super sugary sweets for lunch. lets just say, that afternoons events are best left unsaid XD The Bonbon idea came from the kil jar of Bonbon's currently sitting on my desk and staring at me, but it got me thinking, what would happen if Luffy was introduced to Bonbons? And what would his sugar-rush be like? And would it be anything like my sugar rushes? o.O
Anyway, I'd really appreciate it if you'd leave me a review, telling me what i could do better and what you guys liked (if you liked anything!) een if its just a couple of words. look, you dont even need an account to review! look! go on! do it! It'd be really helpful and encouraging if someone told me they liked it, since its the first thing i've actually let people read
Thanks for reading, if anybody did read it!
King Pingu, OUT!
