Ok I would like to think the people who reviewed. However this week and the next are my exams so I will probably be too busy studying to update. Anyways I have worked out the plot so all should be smooth sailing when the exams are over in terms of updates.

Pediophobia: The fear of dolls


"The doll chanted 'China doll, China doll in the basement, China doll, China doll on the stairs..'

"Jay, please stop!" Miki cried burying her face into her arms, hands covering her ears desperately.

"China doll, China doll in your parent's room"

"Jay!" a menacing smirk crossed his face.

"China doll, China doll in your brother's room"

"PLEASE!"

"China doll, China doll in your room"

Miki pressed as humanely possible into her arms and clasped her ears harder, trying to drown out his voice.

"Now you're dead" and with that she screamed.

Miki rubbed her tired eyes stubbornly refusing to succumb to the tempting calls of sleep mostly in fear that the creepy doll from the story would come and attack her when she was most vulnerable. The cool autumn wind helped to keep her awake somewhat but kept blowing her pale hair repeatedly into her face, no matter how many times she pushed it back it still refused to stay, blowing back into her face adding to her already dark mood.

Humming softly, Miki walked down the town's shopping streets, the windows reflected the warm but dull orange-brown tone of the setting sun and the wind rustled the fallen leaves. Eyes flickered from window to window sluggishly trying to take her mind off her increasing tiredness courteous of Jay. Honestly it was just a scary story but it did nothing to settle the murderous thoughts towards the boy. He didn't just finish the story but waited until she had finally and reluctantly fallen asleep to whisper the doll's chant into her ear which resulted in him now sporting a black eye. She smiled smugly to herself; her musing almost took her mind off the piercing glass eyes and the milky faced demon in the window.

With wide eyes she did a double take at the display, Miki turned to run and she would have gotten away if it wasn't for the striped shirt idiot standing behind her.

"Hey, I was wondering when I would see you again" He smiled teasingly down at the girl that had practically run into his chest. Cowering she hid her face into his shirt, shaking slightly in fear of the creepy doll.

"Huh, what's wrong scaredy cat?" arms wrapping gently around the shaking girl.

"Stupid pirate, I will capture you" she tried to threatened when she realized just who she had run into. Her voice coming off weak instead of the fearless façade she was trying to play as she tried to escape his hold.

"Let me go!"

"Not until you tell me what's got you so scared"

"Let go damm it! The doll is out to get me!"

"Doll? Seriously?" he arched a brow, clearly lost as to what the problem was.

"Shanks you bastard, you left me to do all the work! I should… Eh! What are you doing with her!" Buggy yelled, starring at the scene obviously as confused as his friend.

"Hey Buggy" Shanks smiled casually at him, shrugging as if this was a normal greeting between the two.

"Buggy" Miki whispered, peeking cautiously out from hiding "Oh god there's the clown again" She cried burying her face further into his shirt, attempts of escape forgotten as Miki tried to wish herself away. "The clown and the doll, I'm dead or in hell"

"Doll, what doll?" Buggy questioned.

"The one in the window" her soft voice came off muffled against the fabric, Miki was close to tears she could feel them build up and threatened to fall. A wicked smirk appeared on Buggy's face as he turned from the doll in the window to the girl nuzzled into his crew mate.

"You know Girlie, I think the doll just blinked"

"Oh my god!" she yelled, she turned and by some miracle she had escaped Shanks hold and bolted down the street.

"I think I scared her again" Buggy's smile rivalled that of the Cheshire cat as it looked like it could crack his face. Yes, he got his revenge on her for getting him scolded by Rayleigh-Sama.

"Well that wasn't very nice Buggy" Shanks frowned at his friend.
