Chapter Three: Stealing Your Kiss

As soon as everyone left the auditorium, Harry approached Luffy and Nami, who were still onstage. They were both covered in confetti.

"A bit too much?" Asked Harry, pointing to the two.

"Yep." Both said at the same time. They shook themselves like wet dogs, now covering Harry with the sprinkles.

"Whelp, it may not have been the best show," said Harry, spitting confetti from his flawless mouth, "but you guys earned it. Here are the flight tickets to the resort, so get outta here already!"

"Gee, thanks Hairy Guy!" Grinned Luffy, taking the tickets and giving one to Nami.

"IT'S HARRY!"

"That's what I said! Whatever, let's go Nami." He grabbed Nami's wrist and practically dragged her off the stage. Nami was stunned for two seconds, and then proceeded to trying to break loose, her temper rising to it's maximum point. But no matter how hard she tried, it wasn't of any use.

"Hey, you idiot! What the hell do you think you're doing?! HEY!" She screamed in his ear but he never responded. Instead, he just kept leading her down a hall in the huge building, which Nami was sure could get them in trouble. She looked at his face, and noticed something. His eyes seemed kind of...dull. Was he in a trance? Nami frowned.

"Luffy! Wake up! And let me go!" She complained, slapping his face for the hundredth time. Wait. Did he just sniff the air? Nami began jumping to conclusions.

"Are you trying to say that I smell bad?! Well, excuse me for smelling worse than-"

Luffy's stomach growled of that of a wild beast. He had finally stopped walking, and both of them were staring inside of a room that just so happened to be opened, that had a glorious buffet.

"FOOOD!" Luffy was on the verge of tears, such a beauty of delicacies right before him. He let go of Nami's wrist and danced gracefully towards the paradise that awaited him. Nami was amazed by how well he could dance, but then quickly smacked her forehead.

"This is what you were dragging me here for? Unbelievable!" She scoffed, and then her own stomach growled. A blush began to form on her face and she quickly turned to the side with her nose in the air. Luffy laughed at her.

"Who's the idiot now? You're also hungry!" He smirked, bu not quite right since his mouth was full of meat.

"Just because my stomach growled doesn't mean i'm..." She stared onto the heavenly table, and her mouth began to drool a bit. "hungry..." Without a second thought, she raced towards Luffy, and grabbed a plate of steak that was right next to him and began snarfing it down. Luffy watched in awe as the delicate woman was eating the platter monstrously.

"What?! I had to skip breakfast, OK, so quit staring at me!" She growled. Luffy just shrugged his shoulders and kept on eating. Within the next ten minutes, Luffy and Nami were entertaining each other, and Nami seemed to be enjoying every minute of it.

"And then Nojiko walks in and- shh! Do you hear that?" Whispered Nami as both of them got instantly quiet in the banquet room. Luffy frowned deeply as he heard footsteps approaching towards the room they were in.

"Just wait till' you see it, Hairy Boss!"

"IT'S HARRY!"

"Hm? That's what I said! Anyways, the crew and I set up a huge banquet in celebration of your excellent work! We're almost there! The other staff members should be here any minute, too!"

"Goody, Goody! I hope you guys made that steak I love so much!"

Luffy and Nami gaped at each other over what they just heard. A banquet dedicated to Harry? They were almost at the room? The others would show up any minute?! They had both been eating like pigs; there was hardly any food left. The footsteps were getting louder, and they had nowhere else to go.

"We have no choice but to jump out the window!" Said Luffy quietly as he ran towards a window in a corner of the sacred room.

"What is this, some kind of spy movie?! Are you crazy? Isn't this the-"

"First floor?" He said, already outside.

"Ah, really? OK, help me out, quick!"

As soon as Harry and his co-worker stepped foot inside the room, Nami had stepped foot on the bright green grass outside and ran with Luffy. She had done something bad, and yet, she was enjoying every second of it. Her grin grew wider when she heard Harry yell his tail off about who ate the food, and she found herself laughing. They kept on running, past the parking lot and onto an intersection where they stopped to catch their breaths as soon as they made it across the street.

"Ah, that was so much fun!" Laughed Luffy, breathing heavily, resting his hands on his knees. It was pretty fun, Nami had to admit. But running after eating made her stomach in knots. She walked, or rather, dragged herself to the nearest trash bin and threw up, folks. After letting her rest for a while in a bench until the sickness passed, they began walking down a street until Nami said, "Wait. Where are we even going? Where's Nojiko?"

"Don't ask ME. And now you notice? Mom, Shanks and Ace are gone too!" He huffed.

"What? If your dumbass hadn't dragged us to that...terribly delicious room, we could've caught up with our people before they ran on us!"

"You were hungry too, so be thankful! So touchy!"

"Grahh! Fine! I'll call my sister to come pick me up, and then i'll leave your sorry ass behind with no way of call home, take that!"

"Why didn't you call your sis in the first place, idiot?"

"SHADDUP!"

20 TRANSPONDER CALLS LATER...

"Why doesn't she pick up?! I swear, when I see her-"

"Let's walk home together!" Said Luffy with a smile.

"W-what? But that's a long way, or is your brain too small to even realize that?!"

"Well, we can take the train!"

"I don't have any money on me though!"

"Neither do I..."

"Then why'd you even suggest it?"

"Well, I thought you had money, so..."

"Ha!" She scoffed. "And even if I did have any on me, I wouldn't give you any!" Nami decided not to waste her energy arguing with an idiot like him, so she admitted defeat for her own sake.

"I guess we'll walk home, c'mon..." She sighed. And so they began their long (sort of) journey to their houses.

"YOHOHOHO, good afternoon to you all!" Said Brook as he casually barged in Usopp's front door without knocking. "Huh? Where is everybody?" All the lights in the small house were off. He walked to the kitchen without bothering to turn on the lights (because he's just cool like that) and called out, "Usopp-san! Anybody home?"

Suddenly, out of nowhere, someone grabbed him from the shoulders and tackled him down.

"So, did you enjoy ogling those beautiful women, you shitty bastard?!"

"Sanji-san?! Please, I can explain!" All the other boys appeared before him, all carrying a flashlight, which made their face look scarier than they already were.

"H-hey, wait, stop-AAHHHH!" Yelled Brook as the boys lunged for him. Robin stepped from the shadows and aimed her flashlight at Brook.

"Agh, too bright! Robin-san, please help me, they're trying to eat my flesh!"

"I'm sorry Brook, but I couldn't keep it a secret any longer." She smiled wickedly. "This is for the underwear you stole from me the other day."

"Wha?! I beg you, please forgive me! I just couldn't resist!" He pleaded. After getting tormented some more, Robin forgave him...for now.

"Ah~ I'm soo tired from all this walking! My feet are killing me!" Moaned Nami. They had gotten lost for two hours, because Luffy thought they were going the right way, even though Nami knew it wasn't, but he kept ignoring her. But she had learned so much about Luffy's friends.

Zoro was his very first friend since childhood. He trains at a dojo where soon he would become the next head of the place. Usopp is an awesome artist and sniper. He likes to go hunting and fishing, and tends to lie a lot, but for good reasons. Sometimes. Sanji makes amazing food, and wants to open up his own restaurant. He is wayyy nicer to girls than he is to guys, which Luffy thought wasn't fair at all. Chopper is aiming to be a doctor when he's older, and right now he's the assistant to one of the greatest doctors. Robin likes to read a lot and is also an archeologist. She travels all around the world to uncover world mysteries. Franky is a popular mechanic who can build just about anything, from a car that can drive by command, to the very first robot. And Brook. He was a popular musician years ago, known to the world as 'Soul King'. But after his boss found out about his life of crime, he was dismissed, but Brook made one of the most legendary exits that no one will ever forget. To this day, he still writes music, and some people even recognize him and ask for his autograph. Those are some pretty impressive friends.

"Aw, c'mon, just a bit farther! We'll get there soon!" Said Luffy, breaking Nami's train of thought.

"I'm calling my sis again, but if she doesn't pick up, I'll kill her!" She rummaged through her purse until she felt something like paper. She pulled out two thousand berri's. Luffy gawked at the cash he saw before him. Nami was shaking in anger, then took a deep breath.

"FFUUUUUUU-"

Meanwhile, at Usopp's house, everyone was excited.

"Okay, goodbye!" Chopper hung up the transponder snail and turned to the guys. "Makino says to come over to her place to celebrate!" Cheered the young boy.

"I hope there'll be sake." Said Zoro, already walking out.

"Wait, where's Robin?" Asked Franky.

"Robin-chwan, where are you, my Juliet?!" Cried Sanji.

"Ah, she left. So did Brook." Answered Usopp.

"WHEN?!"

"Uh, right before Makino called."

"BUT HOW DID THEY EVEN KNOW?!"

"Robin is psychic? Who cares, let's go!" All five men left for the celebration.

"Thanks for taking me home, Luffy." Huffed Nami. "We walked 3/4 of the way, then took a taxi, so I guess it's OK." She groaned, touching her heel.

"Sure, no problem. Our flight leaves tomorrow at 8:00 a.m, so pack up and sleep early. I can't wait to introduce you to my friends." Luffy then proceeded to kissing Nami on the mouth, leaving her stunned. It lasted no more than a second, for it was a mere peck on the lips. Luffy just smiled at her.

"Whelp, I gotta go, see ya tomorrow!" He said with the same smile and marched like a jolly good fellow to the taxi cab that was waiting for him. Nami just stood at her front steps as she watched the car drive away from the street.

"W-w-what was that f-for?" She muttered, the boiler in her Mad-o-Meter reaching it's breaking point.

When the cab was far away from her house, Luffy shrieked.

"WHY DID I KISS HER?!"

"You're reacting just now?!" Yelled the cab driver.

"Wait, you were watching us?"

"Nope, just happened to turn around at the wrong moment. The name's Joe, by the way."

"Whatever."

"Show some respect, lad!" Huffed Joe. "I bet you got the hots for her; she's one fine lady, after all!"

"EH? No way! She's really mean! I don't think I would have the guts to like her like that!"

"Well, you sure are missing out, bud. I'd confess to her sooner or later, even if there's a big chance i'd get rejected."

"...where are we now?"

"You never told me where you live, so..."

"IT'S YOUR JOB TO ASK 'WHRE ARE WE HEADIN', LAD?'!"

"AND IT'S YOUR JOB TO TELL ME WITHOUT HAVIN' TO ASK YA, LAD!"

After a few moments of struggling, Luffy finally made it to his precious home.

"See you later, Joe!"

"Back at ya, lad!" Luffy grinned and turned to his front door. Before he even had a chance to put his hand on the knob, someone opened the door from the other side.

"SURPRISE!" Yelled the cute and innocent Chopper.

"What?"

"Chopper!" Hissed Usopp. "You're supposed to wait until AFTER he walks inside!"

"Sorry, I was just so excited!"

"It's OK, your cute, so we forgive you!" Said Makino, hugging Chopper. "Guess what? We're all going with you on your vacation date!"

"Really? Cool!" Beamed Luffy. "But how did you manage to get tickets in such a short time?"

"Robin-chan somehow got ahold of ten tickets, enough for all of us!" She cheered, flashing the tickets in his face.

"I swear, the woman knows everything." Said Zoro, eyeing Robin suspiciously. Robin just smiled at him. Luffy flashed his trademark grin.

"Well then, what are we waiting for, the food's gonna get cold! Let's celebrate!"

"YEEEAAAAAHHH!"

"Whoa. What was THAT?" Said Nojiko, suddenly standing at the door right behind Nami.

"Wh-wha?! What was what?!" Shrieked Nami, trying to sound calm, which clearly wasn't working.

"You know what! He kissed you! And I bet you liked it, too!" She smirked.

"He caught me off guard! I didn't know he was gonna do that!"

"You've only just met, and you're already all over each other! Lucky you!"

"IT WASN'T LIKE THAT, SHEESH! And none of it would've had happened if YOU'D ANSWER THE TRANSPONDER SNAIL!"

"If I answered, you wouldn't have known anything about him, so you better have enjoyed your little date!"

"..."

"Anyways, I'm coming with you to the resort! I do not want to miss this." She said, flashing her ticket.

"How'd you manage to get a ticket in such a short time?"

"One of Luffy-chan's friends, Robin, gave it to me earlier in case I wanted to come too. I wonder how she got them? Weird."

"The bigger question is how did she know where we lived..."

The next morning, Luffy and company were waiting for Nami and Nojiko at the airport.

"Ooh, I'm so excited! The beach! The spa! The clothes!" Cheered Makino. Everyone was just as excited as she was.

"All the wonderful ladies I get to meet!" Cooed Sanji.

"All the women that I'll get to see beat you." Smirked Zoro. Thus, another fight begins.

"C'mon, when is Nami coming?" Whined Luffy. "I want her to meet you guys already!" He was jumping up and down on his chair, hoping to see Nami in the huge crowd.

Suddenly, there she was, her sister following right behind her. 'Hmm. That's a lot of luggage. Girls.' ,thought Luffy.

"Naammiii! Over heeeeerrreeee~!" Shouted Luffy, waving his hands. Nami noticed and smiled at him.

"Luffy!" She yelled, also waving her hand. Sanji's Love Meter perked up and pranced handsomely over to the two goddesses.

"Ah, you must be Nami-san. Don't worry, you weren't late at all! Oh, and who might this beauty be?" Said Sanji with such elegance, it made Nojiko blush.

"Ah, I'm Nojiko, Nami's older sister. Nice to meet you." Smiled Nojiko.

"But of course, a loving and beautiful elder sister like you wouldn't dare leave her younger gorgeous sister in the hands of filthy men!" Said Sanji, gently kissing the top of Nojiko's hand.

"Well, yea, more or less." She lied.

"Please, allow me to carry your-"

"Sure thing thanks!" Said both girls, dropping their luggage and walking away without a second thought.

Memories of yesterday's evening flashed in Luffy's mind as Nami was getting closer and closer to him. In fact, she was getting close to him too fast. As if in slow motion, Luffy jerked back from his chair and tried to run away, but Nami dove over his chair and punched him in a way that reminded him of his savage grandfather. She tackled him down and had him pinned between her legs. All of Luffy's friends, as well as Shanks, Makino and Nojiko, were gaping at the scene that flashed before them like a distant memory. Beastly, yet graceful, they all thought to themselves.

"What the hell was that for?! HUH?! It's one thing to make me pay for your ride, but then to just kiss me as if nothing, and leave without saying a word?!" She growled at him.

Luffy had to admit, she looked so sexy when she was angry like that, but he just kept that inside his head.

"OWW! I"M SORRY, OK?! I didn't know what came over me, I swear!"

"Oh really? Well, thanks for stealing my first kiss, you dumbass!"

"That was your first kiss?! Wow, and I thought a pretty lady like you would've already slept with someone!"

Nami blushed at the fact that he thought she was pretty, but frowned at the second part.

"Just because you think i'm pretty doesn't mean I would no longer be a virgin!"

"Really? Then I guess I'll be the one to take your virginity!" Grinned Luffy. "After all, we are considered a couple, right?"

Nami couldn't help the red hue that splashed all over her face, but then, she slapped Luffy right across the face and got off of him, her expression turning to one of anger.

"As if I would ever want to be with you like that!" Snapped Nami, and marched away, heading to the end of the row of seats. Luffy just lay there, his face turned to the side from the slap, and didn't say a word as he just closed his eyes.

Everyone, including bystanders, were gaping at Luffy for a while.

"Ouch..." Said Shanks. Then he turned to Ace and Nojiko. "What's up with you two?" They were both as red as tomatoes. Makino just stared at Nami, before turning to her older sister.

"She's still coming to the trip, right?" She asked, sparkles in her eyes. Everyone fell over. She was happy that they argued?

"Damn straight she is." Laughed Nojiko. "This is her only chance to go to this resort, and she's not gonna let some guy ruin that for her."

"That girl's got some strong fire in her!" Said Franky.

"She's one interesting girl." Smiled Robin.

"She's too beautiful for words! And you, are up there with her, Nojiko-chwan!"

"Scary!" Said both Usopp and Chopper, trembling with fear. Zoro laughed. He liked this girl.

"Yohohoho, feisty!"

"This is gonna be one interes-"

"This is gonna be one interesting trip." Interrupted Makino with a lovey-dovey sigh.
