Chapter Two

Luffy dragged Ia all the way to the ship. Once on the dock, he picked her up wedding style and jumped on board.

"Luffy! Use the ladder!" Nami yelled.

"Look!" he said and put Ia on the deck.

"Ia's back? Why is she unconscious?"

Luffy shrugged.

"Where is Chopper?" Nami asked.

"I'm right here, Nami."

"Good, could you come down here?"

Chopper came down from the upper deck and ran towards them.

"What is it?" he asked and then saw Ia. "AHHH! WE NEED A DOCTOR! SHE'S HURT!"

"You are a doctor."

"Oh... right!" he said, embarrassed. "Ok..." he said as he started checking her.

"Where's Sanji?"

"Getting us some supper." Nami said.

"Wait till he sees her!" Luffy cried.

I-N-T-H-E-M-O-O-D

Sanji walked down the street with a ginormus fish on his shoulder. He lit a cigaret and out of the corner of his eye he saw sauce that he could use when making this huge fish. Was it salmon?

Sanji walked up to the ship and up the ladder. He then saw Zoro, Usopp, Nami, Luffy, and Chopper around something he couldn't see.

"What are you doing?" Sanji ask and walked over. Usopp and Nami moved over so Sanji could see. Ia.

Sanji didn't say anything. He couldn't believe it...

"RED VAN GONNA HIT ME!" Ia suddenly screamed. Everybody freaked out and jumped back a step. She started freaking out and didn't really realize that she was on the Going Merry. She suddenly grabbed her right wrist and looked at her watch. 9:15 AM. "Holy frick... I'M LATE FOR SCHOOL! I SHOULD BE IN BAND RIGHT NOW! IT'S SECOND HOUR! WHAT THE HELL? WHERE AM I!?" she screamed suddenly.

"Ia... are you ok?" Usopp asked.

She looked around and suddenly realized where she was.

"I'm completely fine! Does Chopper say I have any broken limbs cuz that wouldn't be a mystery. I just got hit by a van and somehow ended up... oh no... where is she!" Ia yelled.

"Who?" everybody asked.

"Nevermind... I'll kill her later. So... any broken?" she asked Chopper.

"No."

"No?"

"Yes."

"Yes!"

"No."

"Yes?"

"NO!"

"No?"

Chopper looked pretty angry so she decided to drop it.

She realized that she was getting really really hot so she took off her book bag, jacket, and grey sweatshirt.

"How is everybody?" Zoro asked.

Ia looked at him with confusion but then said, "Fine. Nothing's really changed."

"Oh... could I talk to you, over here?" he said.

"Sure." she said and got up, swaggered a bit and followed him to the stern.

"What is it?" she asked.

"Is... is Chey seeing anyone?" he asked.

"Chey... really! Wow... um no. I think guys are afraid of her and weirded out that she's in total love with a manga character. But I do know who she has a crush on!"

"Who." he asked, evil gleam in his eye.

"I'm sworn to secrecy." she said, holding up her pinky.

"Why do you have your pinky up?"

"We pinky-promised." she said.

"Damn." Zoro muttered.

Wow... didn't know Zoro cared so much for Chey... she should be pretty happy! To bad I can't tell her... Ia thought.

Ia walked over to the crew and said, "I'm hungry."

Sanji looked ecstatic.


This is the end of this chapter! Rant and Rave, please! Chey, Zoro cares for you. Happy. .
