So this is the first real chapter.

It's about 2,000 words long.

I wanna thank you for the reviews and the ideas you guys pm'ed me. They were all very helpful and I'm excited to write some of them.

This chapter came out faster than the rest will, mainly because I had a Insomnia attack and grew bored.

They can hear Luffy's thoughts. It doesn't come up a lot in this one but it will be coming up more in the next chapter

Nightmare At Enies Lobby

~~~~~~~~~~~Chapter 2~~~~~~~~~~~

"Robin-swan, do you know something?" Sanji asked, lighting a cancer stick. "Like where we are?" he added.

"To put it simply, were in Luffy's limbic system. Meaning, were inside his brain, particularly the part of the brain that controls both dreams and emotions."

"Oh ... WHHHAAAT?!" seven straw-hats said simultaneously. Robin took a deep breath, how would she explain this...

"Do you remember what that man said before he touched Luffy's head?" She asked

'I GIVE YOU...NIGHTMARE!'

"Well, I once read a book that talked about a very rare devil fruit called the Akumu Akumu fruit, allowing the user to become a nightmare man. In other words, we could very well be witnessing Luffy's nightmares. " Robin explained. The Straw Hats froze, not liking the sound of that one bit.

"Straw Hat-bro is fearless...I wonder what he has nightmares about..." Franky wondered a loud though he had an idea about what.

"A-alright, b-but I don't want to see Luffy's nightmares, how do we get out of here?!" Usopp yelled disparity, summing up what everyone else was thinking at the moment.

"Hmmm... I can't be for sure, for all I know we could be trapped in here forever." Robin said casualty as Chopper and Usopp started freaking out.

"GAARRHH! HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT SO CASUALTY!~" Usopp complained, falling to his knees in a depression.

"F-f-f-forever? AHHH~! I DON'T WANT TO SPEND FOREVER IS HERE!" Chopper squealed, attaching himself to Zoro's pants leg. The swordsman didn't seem to mind and motioned for the historian to continue.

"If I had to give an educated guess, I would say that were stuck in here in till the man dies or releases his devil fruit powers." She continued. Her words seemed to clam the pirates. They all had full faith in Luffy. They would without hesitation put their life in his hands, in fact, they had done it multiple times before.

"You said there would be a nightmare, Robin-chawn?" Sanji asked. He had once saw Luffy waking up to a bad dream in the middle of the night. His fearless Captain had a look of pure terror and such volubility that it shocked him. He had always wondered what nightmare he had to make him act like that.

"The brave Captain Usopp isn't afraid of any nightmare, no matter how scary! Why, I'm the man who took down 29 giants with just one bullet!" Usopp stood up, no longer depressed. He could handle waiting for a little while. "This will be a piece of cake!"

"WOW!~ Really Usopp?! Just one bullet?! That's amazing!" Chopper squealed, clinging on to Usopp's leg instead of Zoro's, who again, didn't seem to care.

"Luffy's head really is boring and empty, eh?" Usopp asked Chopper after a few minutes of story-telling. At that moment a large dark purple door appeared out of no where next to the pirates, who looked it over curiously.

"WHOA! Did you do that Usopp?" Chopper asked, once again realizing just how amazing Vice Captain Usopp was.

"U-uh I don't know..." Usopp said honestly, walking up to the door like everyone else was.

"Yohoho~! What a surprise!" Brook laughed, knocking on the door. "Ahem. Hello? Any buddy home?" He asked like a gentleman

"What do we have to lose, I say we go." Zoro said firmly, placing a hand over his swords.

"I'm quite curious." Robin said thoughtfully.

"I don't think we have a choice " Nami said, eyeing the door.

"If the beautiful Nami-swan and Robin-chan are going, then I most as well, to protect these lovely women. Which I shall do with my life." Sanji said dramatically, hearts in his eyes.

"Alright, let's go bros!" Franky said, looking at Usopp, who stood far away from them.

"That's too dangerous! Besides, I have can't-go-in-to-Luffy's-nightmare disease!" He pleaded.

"Come on Usopp! Let's go, it will be fun! I'll protect you!" Chopper laughed innocently, transforming in to heavy point and dragging Usopp threw the door.

There was a bright flash of colors. Everything blurred, sightly at first and then to the point where the pirates couldn't make anything out. With in a few seconds the pirates found themselves in a new place.

"Yohoho!~ What a unique journey." Brook laughed, picking up his fallen hat and placing it on top of his afro "Where are we?" He added as an after thought.

The Straw Hats looked around. They found themself on a large, two-sectioned draw-bridge. The first section seemed to lead to some kind of underground passage while the other lead to two large gates that were somehow built into nothing but air. Said gates were almost all the way open. There were large waterfalls under the island, that seemed to be leading nowhere except a huge black void, although there had to be water down there... behind them they could see a large amount of land with buildings on it. The land hung over the void and was only connected to the rest of the island by a small bridge of land. There were also many whirlpools and huge fishes in the water around them

"I know exactly where we are..." Robin started, but hesitated, she never wanted to come back here again, ever. "Were on the Bridge of Hesitation in Enies Lobby..."

"You don't think that..." Usopp was interrupted by a muffled scream, Robin's scream. There was 'Dream Robin' being man handled by Spandam, helpless. Blood and tears trickled down 'Dream-Robin's' face, due to Spandam, who banged her face into the bridge and once again started dragging her to the gate.

The Straw Hats sprung into action. Franky was shooting at the marines around the gates while Zoro had all three swords out, swinging repeatedly at Spandam. Sanji was unsuccessfully attempting to pick up Robin while Chopper looked over her wounds. Of course, there was nothing they could do about it. Meanwhile the real Robin watch, biting her lower lip. What a painful memorize this was, yet in a way a great memorize, for it reminded her of her friends and that she wasn't alone.

"LUFFY! WHY HAVEN'T YOU CAME YET?" Dream Robin cried out.

The real raven felt something pull at her heart. Grieg, because she now knew that her Captain, the very person who saved her twice now, was suffering. She decided that when this whole mess was over with, she would read him a book of his chosing out loud, something Luffy always enjoyed.

Suddenly, Spandam broke in to a run, grinning as he passed the arch, handing 'Dream Robin' over to two officers who threw her roughly on to the ship. Sanji started raging about how to treat a women.

"Get going!" Spandam snapped and the ship started to sail.

'Dream Robin' was almost to the gate when she saw Luffy, running as fast as he could towards her. Some Marines got in his way, but they were easily taken care of with a few punches. The Straw Hat's cheered. For a moment Dream Robin's and Luffy's eyes met. He called her name loudly, as if trying to tell her that she wasn't alone. He was there and he would save his friend.

"ROBIN! DON'T WORRY! I'LL SAVE YOU NO MATTER WHAT!" 'I promised.' Luffy thought and the straw hat's heard it.

"Did we just hear what he was thinking?" Franky asked, making sure he hadn't gone crazy and some how gotten the power to read minds...which would be awesome.

"Yeah, I heard it too... I suppose that makes sence, seeing as how this is his dream" Nami answered.

"MONKEY D. LUFFY!~ YOU PROMISED YOU'D SAVE ME! I-I WONT FORGIVE YOU IF YOU DON'T" Dream Robin sobbed, her body trembling with fear and hate. She felt betrayed and lied to.

"I would never say that..." Real Robin said mostly to herself. The Straw-hats watched in awe as Luffy rocketed himself on to the Marine ship. Just as he was about to come aboard a Marine swung his sword, cutting of Luffy's hands. The pirates watched in shock, each one having a minor freak out attack.

"HURRY, HE NEEDS MEDICAL ATTENTION!" Chopper screamed, running towards Luffy in till he remembered there was nothing they could do.

The Straw Hats could only watch as Luffy fell down to the sea. Slowly he ran out of air, turning pale and shutting his eyes.

"R-robin." Were his last words before he drowned, dead. How many times had their Captain drowned before? How many times had he'd come close to death but never fully dead? Countless times, but now he was gone, along with Robin. The thought was terrifying.

The light slowly faded, Enies Lobby along with it. The color was slowly sucked out in till they returned in to the white room. Zoro scowled, disparity trying to look unaffected in the sightly.

"You look like you don't even care, Lawn-head" Sanji commented, lighting a cancer stick.

"Shut up, Love cook, and stop smoking in Luffy's head" the swordsman snapped.

"WHAT DID YOU CALL ME, MOSS BRAIN?" The cook hissed and there fight began, though, it was ended soon by Nami.

"LOOK, NOWS NOT THE TIME." She yelled.

"Yes Nami-swan, my deepest apologizes." Sanji cooed with one last glare at Zoro. Said man just gave a 'hump' sound and turned away from the two.

Usopp had fallen to his knees. "That...was..." He couldn't find the right words to express himself. He felt so helpless and unworthy. Why wasn't he in the dream? Why wasn't anyone else but Luffy and Robin? Did it mean that he wasn't trusted enough? Or maybe that Luffy felt that he needed to take care of everything on his own...that sounded more like him.

Despite what she just saw, Robin was smiling.

"Why are you smiling Robin?" Chopper asked innocently, pulling on her pant leg to gain her attention.

"Because...it was only a nightmare." She answered simply, making the straw hat's pause, taking in her words. It was true, it didn't happen, it wasn't real. These were just images of 'what-if's they could handle this.

Soon after a new door appeared. It was a gray, wooden one.
