Ang3l: Um... Not really sure what to say for this one... It's kind of what the title implies.

Asa: Just wrote it for fun huh?

Ang3l: Pretty much! It doesn't really have much of a point to it but whatever, if you don't like it, don't read!

About the Story: Based off of filler episode 133: Uprising of the Navigator! For the Unyielding Dream!. Again, no real plot. Just wrote it as a practice almost. Regardless, please enjoy.

A Regular Day

I watched lazily as the oceans waves crashed against the side of the Merry. The sound of seagulls calls echoed overhead and the heat of the sun gave a comfortable warm feeling that was almost lulling me to sleep. The bobbers of our fishing lines floated gently in the water. Luffy, Ussop, Chopper and I had decided we should try and make up for raiding the fridge the other day so we had gotten to work on trying to replenish our food supply. We had yet to catch anything.

A small plop sounded when Chopper's bobber was pulled under. The little reindeer jumped up excitedly and pulled the fish in. "I got one!" He pulled it off the hook and held it up to Luffy and I. "Lookit!"

"Nice!" Luffy complimented.

"Good job Chopper!"

The fish was a fair size. It wasn't huge but it would probably feed one person if there were side dishes as well (as long as that person wasn't Luffy).

Another plop drew our attention back to the water. I looked to see my bobber missing and I pulled up quickly. Upon getting the fish on board, I realized it wasn't even a fish at all but instead a brown leather dress shoe. I groaned and hung my head. You have got to be kidding!

Luffy and Ussop laughed loudly. I glared at them. "At least you have a pair now!" Chopper said trying to make me feel better but only served to make the guys laugh harder. I tossed the shoe over my shoulder where it landed beside its matching pair that I had pulled up not too long ago.

I grumbled under my breath as I climbed back up to sit on the railing. "I don't even wear shoes…"

Not too long after, Ussop had caught a lively one, as it swam in circles trying to escape. "I got one too!" He yelled excitedly. The rod bent and creaked with strain and Ussop leaned backwards to try and pull it in. "It's a big one! He's probably the big boss in these waters!"

Chopper looked excited. "Really!?"

Luffy hopped down from the railing to get a better view. "Whoa, cool!"

"Come on Ussop! You can do it!" I encouraged from where I sat beside him. His arms flexed and sweat beaded down his face. Just when I thought that the rod was going to snap, the fish was pulled free from the water and up into the air.

"GOT IT!"

We all watched in anticipation and when Ussop finally had it in his hand… I fell over backwards laughing so much it hurt.

The fish that Ussop tried so hard to reel in was even smaller then Chopper's! If it didn't have a pointy nose then I would have called it a tadpole!

Luffy and Chopper sweat-dropped and looked at Ussop with half lidded eyes. "The big boss?" Chopper deadpanned.

"You can even eat that." Said Luffy in disappointment. I continued to roll around the deck trying to breathe through the laughter.

"Shut up! Don't start dissing me when you haven't caught anything!" He yelled at Luffy, and then turned to me. "And you've only caught a pair of shoes!"

"Y-Yeah! Bu-But aha at least there useful! Hahahaha!" I returned starting another fit of laughter.

Luffy recast his fishing line and I eventually calmed down, coming to stand beside him with my elbows on the railing. "I'm gonna catch a huge one!" He insisted.

"Ussop's version of huge or sea king huge?" I asked, giggling.

"OI!"

"Sea king huge!"

We all watched Luffy's bobber for a while, waiting patiently. Ussop looked skeptical. "Will you really catch a huge one?"

Luffy shrugged. "It'll work out somehow."

Behind us, on deck, Sanji came out of the kitchen carrying a tray of two light green drinks with lemon wedges and a straw. "Nami-swan~! Asa-chwan~! To enhance stunning beauty such as yours with silky smooth skin, I have brought you both a special tropical juice!"

Nami took hers and smiled. "Thank you." She said politely. Sanji positively glowed and came over to give me mine as well. I took a sip and hummed.

"This is amazing!"

Before Sanji could do his noodle dance, the boys turned to us. "Hey now!" They said in unison.

"Give me some too!" Luffy ordered.

Chopper joined in too. "Silky smooth!"

Sanji raised an eyebrow at them. "Hold on… Why would guys want silky smooth skin?"

"So we'll be cute!"

I laughed and Sanji sighed, heading off to the kitchen to make three more drinks. I sat down again and sipped at my drink some more.

A little while later, I was about half way through my drink when I notice Chopper staring at it. I smiled. "Would you like a sip, Chopper?" I asked pushing to glass over to him. He nodded eagerly and took a sip.

"It's really good!"

His announcement drew the others attention and I took the glass back from Chopper. "Hey! Can I have some too Asa?" Luffy asked. I shook my head and took another swallow.

"Nope. Yours will be here soon."

Ussop frowned. "But why did Chopper get some?" He asked indigently. I smiled down at the little reindeer as he tried to jump up on the railing, not paying attention to our conversation.

"Because Chopper's cute!"

Luffy pouted and looked at me with big eyes. "Aren't I cute too?" He whined. I almost choked on the drink. I must resist… I must resist the… Oh screw it. Knowing there was no way I could look away from Luffy's adorableness I sighed.

"F-Fine. But just a sip!" I handed the straw hat wearing boy the glass and he brightened up.

"Thanks Asa! You're the best!" I turned my head away and blushed. Damn him…

"You can have some too Ussop, I feel bad for laughing at your sorry excuse of a fish." I told him smiling innocently. He dead-panned.

"Gee thanks."

We continued to wait. Sanji had come out with the guy's drinks and they had already polished them off. I wasn't really paying attention until Luffy's rod almost bent in half. I jumped when he yelled "Got one!" With little to no effort he pulled a massive…thing… out of the ocean, water spraying everywhere and dropped it onto deck, knocking us all off the railing.

When the thing rolled to a stop, Luffy looked at it in confusion. "What the heck is that?" It looked like a giant blue ammonite with long squiggling tentacles.

"It's huge!"

Sanji walked out of the kitchen at hearing the big sound. "Oi, Luffy!" The cook called. "What'd you reel in this time?"

The whole crew was drawn on deck out of curiosity to what the thing was. I walked up to it and gently kicked the shell with the side of my foot. A hollow echo sounded from inside. "It's made of metal!" I told everyone.

"What do we do with this?" Nami asked.

"Think we can eat it?" Luffy mused, drooling.

Ussop slapped him in the back of the head. "Eat it!? It's made of metal!"

Suddenly the apex of the shell opened up and we were all shocked to see a strange looking man come out. "Ah, I thought I was about to die! Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

"Who… are you?"

The man was wearing an ugly orange suit with light and dark blue polka dotted under shirt. A large sash across his torso read 'Super Deal!' on it. He had an incredibly annoying, high pitched voice and a very rectangular head. "Oh, forgive my rudeness!" The man said, stepping out of the shell. "With a single call, you can count on us to deliver all you material needs! My name is Rice-Rice from Den Den Mushi Mail Order Services! Delighted to meet you."

"Den Den Mushi Mail Order Service?" Zoro repeated. "What the hell is that?"

"Oh! While I was delivering some merchandise in my Escargot, I suddenly found myself amidst a storm!" Rice-Rice said. I tried to refrain from plugging my ears. "It tossed me around quite viciously! And before I knew it I was lost at sea!"

"Hey Rice cake!" I called raising my hand like I was in class. "You said that thing was called and Escargot right? Isn't that French for snail?"

"I can't thank you enough for saving my life!" I did an anime-fall. Was I just ignored? "As a token of my appreciation, please take these catalogs. Anything you desire will be delivered with a single call!"

Zoro grinned (Hey! Is that a flying pig!?). "Hey, that's pretty convenient. So you deliver all the way out at sea?"

"Actually we don't. Our motto is: 'Safety and low prices are our top priority'!"

I snuck around Rice cake (his new nickname) and looked inside the Escargot. It was piled high with all kinds of neat stuff. How did he fit in here? I waved Luffy and Ussop over to come see and we started fooling around with some stuff.

Rice cake showed as a bunch of the things he was selling. It was a lot of fun and I had to admit most of the stuff looked pretty cool! Nami was even willing to pay any price for some Thousand year paper. I wasn't really paying attention as Nami tried to haggle the guy into a lower price, to busy trying to figure out how some weird contraption worked but what got my attention was when Sanji suddenly stepped into the middle of the group announcing that he would pay for the paper.

"Sanji-kun!" Nami said in awe.

Zoro raised an eyebrow at the cook. "Do you have the money?"

Without an ounce of shame he said "Nope." I laughed when collapsed in shock. I turned away for one second to put the toy down and when I looked back, Luffy was tied up and sitting on the floor. Sanji dusted off his hands. "If you hand this guy over to the Marines, you'll have plenty of change to spare."

"WHAAAT!?"

"SANJI! Are you CRAZY!?" I yelled running over to try and get the ropes off of Luffy.

"Forgive me Luffy. This is for Nami-san."

"WAIT A SECOND! Asa! Hurry!" Luffy yelled in panic.

"I'm trying!"

Rice cake's voice caused me to pause and we all looked over at him. "Luffy!? You mean… Monkey D. Luffy?"

"Yeah, that's me. Come on Asa, I think you almost got it undone." He said turning to me. I nodded and was able to get the last knot untied. Luffy stood up and the ropes dropped around him. "Thanks!"

"Any time!"

Suddenly the salesman jumped back into the Escargot, screaming about some special arrangement he was late for. The large creature jumped ship and they disappeared bellow the waves.

"He left all this stuff behind…" Ussop pointed out, referring to all the stuff that was still scattered around deck. Nami smiled happily when she saw that he had left the paper as well. She picked it up and went into the cabin, making it perfectly clear that she was not to be disturbed.

The next thing we know, we're swabbing the deck as per Sanji's order. Apparently he took charge to insure that Nami didn't get interrupted with whatever she was doing. I insisted on helping because I really didn't have anything else to do. I stepped back to move to another spot when I slipped on something. I landed on my butt with a light gasp of pain. "Ouch."

Ussop walked over and offered me his hand. He pulled me up and I looked around for the darn thing that dared to trip me, intending on throwing some very choice words at it. When I saw the bar of soap I smiled. Ussop took a step back not liking the look on my face. "I have an idea!"

I turned around and walked back a bit before making a running start at the soap. When I got near it I jumped and landed with both feet causing me to shoot across the deck. Using the mop as a rudder by dragging it behind me, I was cleaning the deck as I went! I shot past Luffy and Chopper who stared at me in awe before smiling at each other and finding their own bars of soap.

We were all sliding around and before we knew it, the deck was covered in bubbles. Apparently we were too loud though and Nami came out of the cabin looking confused at the mess. Sanji was at her side in an instant. "You must be tired. Have you finished your work?"

"No…" She almost whined. "What's all this?"

"Oi, what are you guys doing?" Sanji asked.

"Cleaning." Was Ussop's simple answer. I waved at Nami from where I had jumped up on the figure head.

"Do you wanna try?"

Ussop pushed forwards off the railing and slid across the deck again but his foot slipped and sent him crashing into Luffy who flew into me. My head snapped back when his forehead connected with mine and I winced. He might be rubber but that freaking hurt!

It took me a moment to realize that the figurehead was no longer under me.

"Luffy! Asa!"

Luffy grabbed my hand just before we hit the water and flung his other hand to grab the ship. We were whipped back up but his hand slipped from mine (probably from playing with soap all day) and we both went flying. I don't know where Luffy was thrown but I shot through Nami's mikan trees, getting scratched and whipped by the branches, and then smacked dead center into the smaller mast at the back of the ship. I groaned.

Okay… Ow…

I peeled myself from the mast and rubbed my forehead. The sound of shouting and a door slamming made me jump and I went back over to the others. I was surprised to see that they all look rather depressed. "W-What happened?" I said nervously, almost afraid to know.

Chopper looked over at me. "Asa! Are you okay?" He asked, noticing a small cut across my cheek. I nodded and picked Chopper up. I really couldn't help it, he was just all kinds of adorable.

"Besides a few scraps, bruises and a mild case of whiplash, I'm fine. What's going on here?" I asked as I put the little reindeer up on my shoulders. Everyone just trudged away, looking kind of crestfallen. I could hear Sanji trying to console Luffy and the boy just hummed sadly.

"Luffy accidently ruined Nami's map that she had been working on. She was really mad and said that we couldn't bother her again or she would charge us 100'000 beri." Chopper said sadly.

I nodded in understanding. Luffy must have been thrown into the cabin then. "Why don't we go relax with the others. I think we've worked hard enough today." I suggested.

We went to look for everyone else. I couldn't help but feel responsible. It was my idea in the first place. I just hope Nami's not to mad.

The entire crew had ended up falling asleep in the nice warm sun. When I woke up I wasn't expecting it to be because a near hysteric Chopper was shaking me desperately. I sat up and grabbed on to his tiny shoulders to try and calm him down. I was about to ask what was wrong but I didn't need too. A massive cyclone was straight ahead.

Poor Chopper almost had a frenzy when I, instead of helping somehow, ran to grab my camera and took a picture of the amazing sight. "This isn't a time to take pictures! What do we do!?"

I looked at him calmly then looked at my other (completely out of it) nakama. "Did you tell Nami?"

He looked a bit bashful and shook his head. "N-No…"

I sighed and ordered Chopper to go try and wake the others before turning and heading to the cabin. I opened the door and walked straight in, not even bothering to knock. Nami sat at a desk in the middle of the room with her back to me. I came and stood right behind her and waited until she drew the last line of the map. Wouldn't want to ruin this one too.

After she put the pen down, I pulled out the rolled paper that she had stuffed in her ears to tune out the noise. She jumped and almost fell off her seat. "O-Oi! I thought I told everyone I didn't want to be disturbed! Do you want me to fine you!?" She yelled irritably.

I just shrugged casually. "Meh, I wouldn't be able to pay it off anyway. Besides, I waited until you were done."

Nami sighed and stood up to hang the newly drawn map to dry, I could tell she was about to ask what I wanted but she was cut off by a violent jolting of the ship. She spun towards me when she regained her balance. "What the heck is going on out there?"

I shrugged again. "Well, we are currently sailing straight into a cyclone and the entirety of the crew is asleep. So… the usual?"

Nami stared at me in dismay for all of two seconds before she bolted out the door, ordering the crew awake. Orders were thrown left, right and center and with the help of our navigator we made it clear of the storm in no time at all.

"Atmospheric pressure rising, rain's stopped… Nice work! You can all take a rest now!"

We all sighed, happy for a break.

"I'm to continue with my maps, so keep watching the clouds, okay?"

"You're still working on it?"

"Of course! My goal is to draw a map of the world. I've only finished my first page. The real task is still ahead." Nami said with determination. Everyone smiled proudly.

I took a deep breath of the now warm air. Everything may not be perfect but I couldn't help but feel incredibly happy that I had survived another regular day for the Straw Hat pirates.

I have absolutely no idea why I wrote this but whatever! Hope you enjoyed anyway.

Until Next Time!
