Disclaimer: I do not own One Piece
The sound of my front door opening woke me up. I wondered who it was before I remembered what happened last night. I sprung out of bed, grabbed my glasses, and changed into clean clothes quickly. Hopefully my hair didn't look too bad, even though I didn't brush it. Rushing downstairs, I moved toward a new series of noises coming from beyond my dining room. What I saw filled me with surprise and extreme anxiety. Luffy was in my kitchen, but that's not all, my parents and little sister were staring in horror and shock as he stretched his arm to grab some food.
"Luffy!" I spun around to find Nami rushing into the kitchen to hit Luffy upside the head. My little sister than stared at me and mouthed "Luffy." She must have realized who the two strangers in the kitchen were. She wasn't a fan of the show, but she knew about it because of me. Nami then turned to me and apologized, which led to my parents turning to me in confusion. I walked into my dining room and sat down. I then started telling the story, minus the part with Zoro's swords (no need to make them worry more). At the end of the story I asked if I could call my friends Tracey, Melissa, and Rachel and ask them to come over. My mom agreed silently by nodding her head.
I called Tracey and Rachel and told them the Strawhat pirates were at my house. Obviously, they had some doubts, but they knew I wouldn't randomly lie about something like that. They asked their parents and convinced them to drive them over immediately. I also asked Rachel to give me our friend Melissa's phone number. Melissa and I had only started to become closer friends recently. Now that she was the only one of the three that I had a class with, I ended up talking to her a lot more than before. We had never exchanged phone numbers though, and I figured I might have a better chance of convincing her to come over than Rachel would. After I had her number, I called Melissa up and she too, convinced her parents to drive her over.
Nami and Luffy left to get the rest of the crew and my little sister went upstairs to change out of her pajamas. The members of the Strawhat crew arrived 1 or 2 at a time so it wouldn't attract too much attention (though some of the stranger members would attract attention no matter how many of them there were). Luckily, it was still pretty early in the morning on a Saturday, so most people weren't awake to notice. They sat out on my deck so they wouldn't wreck the house. Luffy tried to go down in the yard to play on my swing set, but Nami kept him up on the deck. So Usopp started telling one of his "thrilling adventures". I would have listened to the story as well, but I had to wait for my friends to get to my house. My parents were in the family room talking to each other about the whole situation and my little sister was now with me in the front yard waiting for my friends. My sister was asking questions about One Piece and me. I was answering them as best as I could, when I remembered the background of my iGoogle page, Zoro. I then told her not to tell anyone about it and she agreed. I'm pretty sure my friends don't know I'm a Zoro fan because the two I can usually talk to are big Sanji fans and I talk about him with them. Also, my parents wouldn't usually care about the iGoogle page, but if the actual person was there it could become awkward.
Tracey showed up before I started to find my little sister too annoying. She was very excited, as I would expect her to be. She hurried out of the car and rushed up to me. I smiled and laughed slightly. I asked my sister to keep waiting for the rest of my friends and told Tracey they were on the deck. She quickly opened my door and headed through my house to my deck. I followed after her. On the deck the entire crew had arrived and it was crowded, but not extremely so. Franky and Brook were seated to my right, talking. Far to my left, Sanji was fawning over Nami and Robin, who were sitting in chairs by our table. Usopp was to their right, continuing with his story as Luffy and Chopper sat on the ground, listening with rapt attention. Zoro was napping in the snow to my left, nearly hidden from view. He was leaned up against the wall of the house and the large gray bins we keep our pool supplies in. The bins made it difficult to see him. Tracey was standing there frozen in what I was assuming was shock, amazement, and happiness. She was staring around at all of them and then her eyes locked on Sanji. I expected as much, she was a huge Sanji fan. She unfroze and was about to move forward before I grabbed her wrist.
"Don't run, you'll slip." I warned her. She than started walking quickly towards Sanji. As she got closer she started to run and than glomped him. He was pretty surprised, but he then started singing, "Mellorine!" Melissa approached from behind me. I saw her staring around before she too, unfroze. She started fast-walking toward Sanji as well. She started hugging along him along with Tracey. His nose than began to bleed.
By now, Brook and Franky had stopped talking and were watching my friends hug Sanji. Robin was chuckling and Nami was watching with curiosity and amusement. Luffy and Chopper had glanced up to see what was going on, but were uninterested. Usopp was called back from his surprise by their insistent chants to get back to the story. Zoro was still napping, but his expression would have been hilarious if he was awake. Rachel came running past me and started sprinting toward Sanji. She slipped a little bit, but caught herself. She then added to the group hugging Sanji. He than became a puddle on the ground and Melissa and Tracey stepped back. I was standing there rubbing the back of my head with my right hand, feeling very embarrassed. Everyone but Luffy, Chopper, and Zoro were watching my friends. Most of them then turned to look at me. Rachel hugged Sanji a little longer as a puddle before she too, let go.
She turned her head this back and forth, as if she was searching for something. She then started running again, this time toward the napping Zoro. I then remembered Melissa saying something about Rachel being a Zoro fan. She just bent down a little before springing forward and wrapping her arms around him. Her head was on his chest and her legs and the rest of her body were off to the side. I felt even more embarrassed as I watched the scene. Zoro snored. I giggled a little. Rachel released Zoro, stood up, and brushed the snow off her clothes. I took a deep breath and walked over to my friends to fill them in on the story.
