BEFORE I SAY ANYTHING ELSE! To those who read my stuff, and also to those who are interested in reading my stories, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE vote on my poll! I really want to write things that other people like so that I don't disappoint – and yes, I do know that writing is about personal enjoyment but I find that in being able to make you readers happy. So please, if you haven't already and you have the time, I'd appreciate it a lot if you could leave a vote! The poll is to see what you guys want updated next/the most, and it's going to be closing soon!

Hello again, guys! I'm back… With a new chapter of… Well, something that's not really a priority, but I still kinda wanted to try and type up something even though I'm still busy editing Oceanbound and trying to figure out how to fix a mistake I made while I was planning Dream Ride (whoops lol) (but I'm almost done fixing it, I swear!) (seriously, though) (please believe me)

Disclaimer: I do not own One Piece or anything in it at all! I do, however, own my OCs! :)

"Ohmygodohmygodohmyg-!" Olivia said, abruptly silenced when a tan hand slapped over her mouth. She immediately fainted at the contact.

Rae sighed in exasperation and lifted her hands in the air in a hopeless gesture. "Thank you," she said, looking at her now unconscious friend. "I'm also slightly freaking out but at least I've got some semblance of control…" Her eyes sneaked back over the figure lazing about on her couch and internally she felt a small panic attack coming on. She was both attempting to fangirl and be rational at the same time.

Is she supposed to offer a place to stay for now? Would that be the polite thing to do? Would the man even care or would he just leave? He didn't even know where he was, so where was he supposed to go? She paled as she thought of people being threatened with katana and again looked at the swordsman.

"Do you… need somewhere to stay for now?" Rae offered. When his eyes connected with hers, she knew she'd caught his attention. "I mean, you need to find your friends, right? But until you can do that you'll need somewhere to rest your head, and the currency here is different from where you're from, so it would be hard to find anywhere you could stay that wasn't under a bridge."

Roronoa Zoro – yes, he was actually in her house, oh my god – nodded. "It's the best option for now," he said, giving her cleaver, which was still sticking dangerously from the entrance to Rae's bedroom, a suspicious look. "But if you try to attack me, I won't hesitate to do the same."

"I-I understand…" Rae said, gulping. She didn't plan on attacking him, definitely not, but the implication was still rather terrifying. Her ideal way of death was definitely not getting sliced up into tiny pieces by a rampaging ball of moss. "Ah, so, how exactly are you planning on getting back to your home, again?" she asked.

"Dunno," Zoro answered, shrugging. Rae nearly turned blue – why couldn't it have been Robin who came to her house? Or Nami? Or even Usopp?! She'd feel a lot safer, not only for herself but also for her home and her pet hamster, Timmy.

A few minutes of silence passed and she slowly felt herself shriveling up. Of all the ways she would've imagined herself meeting a Straw Hat in the flesh, and they hardly even speak to each other. It would probably be easier to talk to an actual ball of moss than to Zoro, who was now standing by Timmy's cage and squinting at the hamster.

"What is that thing?" he asked, pointing at the small creature as it nibbled on a food pellet.

The black haired girl's eyes nearly bulged out of her head, both from the sudden break in the silence and the fact that the swordsman didn't know what a hamster was. "Oh, it's my pet. He's a hamster."

"Name?"

"What?"

"What is the thing's name?" Zoro asked.

"Timmy," Rae answered. "Why?"

"Is he like a Tontatta?" Zoro mumbled more to himself than to Rae as he opened the cage and let Timmy walk onto his hand. A few seconds passed before Rae actually realized that Zoro let Timmy out, and she wondered whether she should tell Zoro to put it back as little Timmy crawled right off of Zoro's hand and onto the table, and quickly managed to get onto her recliner and then to the hardwood floor.

"NO!" Rae exclaimed as the little hamster crawled under the recliner. Zoro glanced around for a second, not having seen the hamster go under the recliner, and shrugged.

"I'm sure it'll come out in a few," he said, standing back up and sitting in the recliner.

Rae watched in absolute horror as a bit of red liquid peaked out from under the seat of the recliner and she stayed like that even as Timmy crawled out from behind the recliner and scampered away, out of Rae's field of vision and towards the kitchen, where an unassuming pack of fruit punch juice boxes set, torn open and missing a few of its containers.

"TIMMY, NOOOOOOOOO!"

Lol so if you can't tell, this is mainly a humor story. There isn't really much of a story line, but I hope anyone reading this enjoys it! :) XD
Until next time~
