So part 2. Here comes the actual cuteness. It's also Lew-chan's Christmas present! For the gifts, all the ships will be exchanging, along with some characters who just might've had a really cute gift for another. The Going Merry makes a cameo in this chapter, as does the infamous creation we all know as the 4Kids lollipop. Let the fic begin!

"When is ViVi coming, Nami?" Luffy asked.
"Soon, I hope." Nami said. It was the winter solstice, and, as the group had decided, the date of their Christmas party. Since it was dark so early, Luffy, who didn't usually bother with clocks, wouldn't stop asking when ViVi would arrive. It was cute the first 2 times, but after the fifth, it started getting old.
When ViVi's car finally pulled up, Nami wasn't sure whether she was more excited to see her girlfriend, or happy that Luffy would stop asking when ViVi was coming.
The doorbell rang, and Nami and Luffy ran to get it.
By the time they got there, however, Zoro had already let ViVi in.
ViVi was carrying a stack of presents that almost went above Nami's head. Behind her, Karue, one of ViVi's family's many servants, followed, holding even more boxes.
Luffy jumped up, grabbed the first one from the top, and held it up in the air.
"Is this for me?" Luffy shouted.
"Not unless your name is Nami." ViVi said.
"Wow, ViVi, you're magic! You can read from far away?"
"Nope. I color coded the presents." ViVi said, taking the box away from Luffy.
Luffy was about to ask where his was when Brook, tailed by Chopper and Usopp, entered the room.
"All of our gifts are set up." Brook said.
"ViVi!" Chopper said, running to hug her.
"Tony-kun! How's high school, darling?" ViVi asked, placing her gifts down to hug the energetic boy.
"Good! Grandma Doctorine says she thinks I'm doing well. But I miss all my friends from my old school."
Chopper had moved into town over the summer, from Minnesota. ViVi was his first friend, but she acted more like his sibling.
"Is Sanji here yet?" Usopp asked, looking hopeful.
"No, sorry, Usopp." Nami said.
Usopp sighed, a crestfallen look coming over his face. Even though the party didn't technically start for another 5 minutes, Usopp really wanted Sanji to be there.
"Hey, where's your boyfriend, Zoro?" Brook asked.
"Shit!" Zoro said, noticing the absence of one giggly teenage boy.
"Luffy, don't touch the presents!" Zoro yelled, running to what he thought was the living room.
"Should I tell him that he's running the wrong way?" Nami asked.
"Yeah." ViVi said.
Before Nami could make her way to the direction Zoro was running, she heard a familiar voice.
"Nami-san! ViVi-chan! Usopp!" Sanji called out. Nami turned and saw Sanji, Robin, Franky, and a rather happy looking Luffy.
"Sanji!" Usopp said, running into his boyfriend's arms. They hugged, then Sanji took a selfie, if you could call it that, of them on his Polaroid.
"Can we do presents now, Nami?" Luffy asked.
Nami nodded, then led everyone to the living room.
Zoro was sitting on the floor, looking at the Christmas tree. He was rather peaceful, until Luffy knocked him over with a hug.
"Zoroooo! Merry Christmas!" Luffy said.
Robin chuckled, while Luffy got up and ran to the Christmas tree.
"This is for me!" He said, reading the tag. "It's from Zoro."
Luffy opened the present. Inside was a t-shirt that read I Am Luffy.
"I don't get it." Luffy said.
Zoro unzipped his hoodie, revealing a matching t-shirt that said, If Lost, Please Return To Luffy.
"Franky said I should get them, for when we go on dates and stuff." Zoro said.
Robin giggled into her hand.
"I also got a present for Sanji that's special. Here you go!" Zoro said, handing Sanji a rectangular package.
Sanji ripped it open.
"The hell is this, Marimo?" Sanji said.
"Dude, you told the entire school I was dating Luffy. I was chased by girls for a week, asking for details on our relationship. You deserve it."
Robin laughed loudly, then took out her present for Sanji.
"The hell, Robin?" Sanji asked once he had opened it. In Sanji's hands were a bag of lollipops.
"I figured lollipops would be less annoying then Polaroid camera noises." Robin said with a smirk.
"I want one!" Chopper said. In one jump, Chopper grabbed the whole bag, then added it to his pile of presents.
"I got you a nice present, Sanji." Usopp said. Usopp handed his boyfriend a little box. Sanji blushed, then opened it.
"Oh! Matching dog tags! That's adorable!" Nami said, clasping her hands together and giggling while Usopp and Sanji kissed.
"Yuck, kissing!" Chopper said, faking gagging.
"Shut up!" Nami said, throwing a pillow at the boy. Chopper fell, hard, but not hard enough to get hurt, into Luffy's pile of presents.
"No!" Usopp yelled, grabbing a small box, saving it from falling.
"What'cha got there, Usopp?" Luffy said, taking the box out of Usopp's hands.
"It's something for you." Usopp said.
Luffy opened the present.
"It's a ship in a snowglobe! I'm calling it the Going Merry, like you, Usopp. You're always going around merry." Luffy giggled, showing the present around.
Soon, the gang was all sharing presents. Franky received a Fall Out Boy CD from Robin, which he promised to listen to.
Usopp got a framed picture of him and Sanji kissing. Upon seeing it, Chopper faked gagging again, causing Robin to laugh into Franky's shoulder.
"Nami, this is for you." ViVi said, handing Nami a wrapped box.
Nami unwrapped the present.
"Isn't it cute?" Nami asked, putting on the beanie with cat ears she'd been given.
"Nami's a puppy! Arf arf!" Luffy said, pointing and laughing.
Robin laughed so hard that she had to catch her breath.
While she wasn't looking, Brook snuck up to Chopper.
"This is your extra present." He whispered in Chopper's ear. "Go put it on the radio."
Chopper ran to the music player, which had previously been playing Christmas music, to put in his new CD, while Franky and Robin sat down, Robin on Franky's lap. Brook sat down, ready to watch the mayhem that was sure to occur.
As the song began, Nami and ViVi began to giggle.
When the words came on, Robin, who'd previously been sitting on her boyfriend's lap, jumped up, and turned the CD off.
"That's not appropriate for a practically family gathering." She said, looking Brook in the eyes. Brook nodded, keeping his head down, then returned to the chair that he'd been sitting in.
The crew sat by the fire, watching the flames and snuggling the ones they loved, with Brook singing slow Christmas carols and Chopper sleeping at Brook's feet, curled up in a blanket that was embroidered with a Christmas tree pattern.
Soon, it was time for everyone to go home, but Brook, the only member not sleeping, snuggling, or both, couldn't wake or get the attention of anyone. He knew exactly what to do.
Carefully, ever so carefully, Brook crept to where Robin had put his "present" to Chopper. He saw it sticking out of Robin's purse. Brook grabbed it, walked over to the CD player stealthily, turned the volume high, and pushed play.
A/N: I have actually always wanted a hat like the one ViVi gives Nami. Actually, I'd love Robin's present to Franky, and Robin's present to Sanji, too. I'm a huge sucker for lollipops, pun intended. The radio they have is one of the ones you can put a CD in, henceforth why Brook can play the prank he does. My next fanfic should go up before 2015. I have a couple ideas, but I'm really leaning towards this one idea more then the others. Also, I'm pretty sure I misspelled ViVi's servant's name. It's the guy who's a zoan user who can become a duck. Remember to follow and favorite me, and keep waiting for my next fic!~Jo :P
