I'm BAAACK! Here I am, back with another installment of my fanfiction! =D Enjoy! Or don't. Your choice.
Stacey ran to answer the door. She was soon followed by everyone else in the kitchen. A smile spread over her face as she exclaimed happily,
"Skippy! Zippy! Come in!" She walked back into the kitchen followed by two men. "What brings you here, Skippy?" The tall man that answered was wearing tennis shoes and a long overcoat. He had black hair that was trimmed neat and short.
"Just checking on Zoey." He said nonchalantly. The other man had long, orange hair and wore dark jeans and light green tee shirt, an unzipped black jacket draped over his shoulders. His feet were covered by black boots.
"Who are they?" He asked, eyes sweeping over the new arrivals.
"Oh, um, who are you?" Stacey asked, realizing she didn't know, either. Lucy stood up.
"This is Usopp, Nami, Sanji, Chopper, and Zoro."
Skippy's eyes widened when she said Zoro, but his expression returned to a neutral one as he looked at his watch, then up at Zoey and said "We'd better be going. Shina's waiting, and you know how she gets when she's mad."
"Yeah. What do I care?" Zoey asked, rolling her eyes. Stacey dropped her knife, Lucy nearly fell of her chair, and Skippy raised his eyebrows.
"Are you insane, stupid, or brave?" Lucy asked incredulously. Zoey rolled her eyes again and shook her head.
"Are you all afraid of her?"
"Yes..." A new voice said from behind Skippy. Out from behind him stepped a girl with unruly curly black hair, and a satchel slung across her shoulder. She wore a pair brownish shorts and a beige tee shirt. Her feet were covered by a pair of brown shoes.
"You're afraid of everything, Utopia." Zoey said, rolling her eyes for the third time in five minutes.
"I am NOT! The great Utopia is not afraid of anyone or anything!" She proclaimed proudly.
"Really?" Zoey raised her eyebrows, then leaned toward the curly-haired girl and yelled "BOO!" Utopia screamed and ran to hide in the hallway.
"Yup. Bravest person alive." Zoey said sarcastically.
"Food's ready!" Stacey called. Utopia raced back into the room, and everyone scrambled to get a seat. Stacey scowled at the sight of everyone tripping over each other. "If you're a guy, stand up. NOW" They followed her order mostly because they were told they wouldn't eat until they did. After all of the girls were seated, she okay-ed the men to sit, too. The Zippy man sat eagerly along with everyone else, but Skippy prepared to leave. That is, until he was ushered into a seat by Stacey, and forgot what he was doing as a steaming plate of delicious food was sat in front of him.
After an amazing dinner they went to town to restock on supplies and to show the Straw Hats around. Suddenly, as they walked down what looked to be Main Street, the air acquired a sharp chill and clouds covered the sun as an eerie fog blanketed the ground. People migrated to the sidewalks. Skippy froze in mid-step, and Stacey, Lucy, and Utopia stopped, as well. Zoey looked at them exasperatedly and the Straw Hats looked around for the cause of the strange happenings. Suddenly, loud snarling and growling cut through the eerie silence.
Two wolves appeared out of the shifting wall of fog in front of them, followed by a woman. A tall, tan woman with pitch black hair that fell past her knees. The most frightening feature of the woman, however, were her eyes. They were raven black, and resembled dark, empty caves. She wore leather pants that were so tight the Straw Hats wondered how she even moved. On her feet were tall, high-heeled boots with heels so pointy, they probably poked holes in the concrete when she walked. A snug-fitting leather jacket adorned her torso and she had a black bandanna tied around her head and long, black leather gloves on. Her aura was dark and mysterious.
She didn't seem bothered by the wolves at all. In fact, she stepped forward and petted them on the back of their heads. She looked around without moving her head, her cavernous eyes swiveling in their sockets. They suddenly stopped, staring at Zoro. "Get him." She commanded. She didn't speak loudly, but everyone heard. She let go of the wolves, who surged forward, snapping and growling.
Zoey jumped in front of Zoro, her arms spread wide. One wolf clamped it's jaws on her arm, the other biting down on her shin. She let out a pained scream.
