Woo hoo! :D Another chapter! :D This is fast! :D I guess I just wanna make up for the long wait in between chapters 1 and 2. ^^
Btw, Sorry about me forgetting to proofread the last one. XDDD I'll be sure too proofread this one.
Btw, there may be some NamixVivi coming up. ;) If you don't like it, just try and ignore it. It would be anything extreme, just some minor stuff.

-The Merry Go-
"MAAAAAAAIIIIIIIL'SSSS HEEEEEERRRRREEEEEE!!!!!"
The cry of the sniper rang out through the entire ship, and the reason was obvious: The mail was here.
The first one on deck was the ever-optimistic captain: Monkey D. Luffy. He bounded on deck with a piece of meat in his mouth. "Anything for me?" He asked, happily, transferring the meat from his mouth to his left hand. "Ahem, I will now call out who the mail is for!" Announced Usopp as the others gathered on deck. "A newspaper for Nami!" Usopp threw Nami the newspaper, who caught it easily. "Uh… What the heck…" Said Usopp, staring at a magazine. "The dancing coo-" Sanji jumped to his feet, and snatched the magazine away, stopping Usopp from finishing his sentence. "Um…. Riiight…" Usopp stared at Sanji with a look that clearly said 'wtf.' Sanji scowled at everyone, who was laughing, and trudged downstairs. Usopp snickered, before returning to the mail. "Letter for Vivi from Cobra." Usopp handing the letter to Vivi, who took it while still sitting down. "And a letter from Kaya for me!" Exclaimed Usopp, sitting down and opening the letter.
The silence of them all reading their items was cut short by a loud "AHHHHH!" From Vivi, who was staring at her letter in shock. Nami walked over, and sat down next to Vivi, then craned her neck to look at the letter. Vivi responded by turning her body violently towards from Nami, so the back of the letter faced her. Chopper walked up behind Vivi, and the response was Vivi jerking herself away from Chopper, and hunching over so only she could see the letter. Her eyes moved visibly across the paper, and her look of shock deepened. "W-W-W-What… WHAT IS THIS???" She cried loudly. Zoro, Luffy, and Usopp looked up. "What's what?" They asked in unison. Nami's fingers slipped over the top of the paper, and with one smooth movement drew it away from Vivi's hands. "Ah-" Started Vivi, but Nami held out her left hand to stop Vivi, and held the letter with her right hand.
"Hmm… Whoa… Wow… Oh my goodness…" She said, while reading the letter. "What?" The others asked. Nami folded up the letter, and handed it back to Vivi. "I can't tell you. It's Vivi's letter anyways. It's private." "Hypocrite." Zoro, Luffy, Chopper, and Usopp said, waving their left hand in front of their faces. Vivi stared at the folded up piece of paper, then jumped to her feet and tore downstairs. "Uh… what's with her?" Asked Luffy, completely oblivious to the situation at hand. Nami glared at him, then turned and ran downstairs after Vivi.
"Vivi?" She asked, reaching the woman's quarters. Outside of the room was Robin, looking perplexed. "She just shoved me out." Explained Robin to Nami, shrugging. Nami knocked her fist against the door. "Vivi?" She called. "Ngwy." Was the reply. "What?" Asked Nami, knocking on the door again. "Gwy…" "What?" "Go away." Nami frowned, and leaned against the wall, crossing her arms. "Vivi, open the doo-"
Her words were cut short by the door flinging open, and Vivi standing there, glaring at Nami. "GO AWAY! I SAID GO AWAY! LEAVE ME ALONE, AND MIND YOUR OWN BUSUINESS!" Screamed Vivi, before slamming the door. Nami heard her trudge over to the bed, and sit down on it. Nami frowned, a look on concern occupying her face. She placed her hand on the doorknob, and slowly opened the door a crack. Poking her head inside, she saw Vivi sitting on the bed, glaring at her. "Ever hear of privacy?" Hissed Vivi, clearly angry. Nami shrugged, and walked in, shutting the door. "You know, if you're gonna make a dramatic exit like that, make sure you lock the door." Advised Nami in a joking tone. Vivi stared at her, the look of anger disappearing. Instead of anger, tears now welled up in her eyes. "I'm pathetic…" Whispered Vivi, before breaking down, sobbing.
Nami sat down on the bed, and placed her hand around Vivi's shoulder. "You're not pathetic." She said, reassuringly. "Yes I am." Came Vivi's muffled reply, as her head was buried in her hands. "I'm too emotional. I'm such a crybaby." Nami smirked. "Well, we all have our flaws." She said, cheerfully. "I'm serious." Vivi said, seriously. The smile faded off Nami's face. "Come on. You're not a crybaby." Nami opened Vivi's clenched fist, and removed the crumpled up letter. "This is a lot to take in. I mean, you thought she was dead for 16 years!" "14." Vivi corrected. "Alright, 14. But that's still a lot! And now she's suddenly back, and the only proof you have is a letter that wasn't even written by her?" Nami shook her head. "I would be overwhelmed too." Vivi leaned against Nami. "It's just… really hard to believe." Vivi said. She then lifted her head from her hands, and looked up at Nami. "I mean, I thought she was dead for 14 years, and now it turns out she wasn't dead, and it took her 14 years to get back to Alabasta?!" She said this all in one breath, while wiping her eyes. "I mean, it's a little outlandish." "Well, it said in the letter that Cobra was able to confirm that it was your mother." With that Vivi broke down again. "That's the trouble! My mother! I didn't even know she was alive, and now they just expect me to be fine with it?!" Nami sighed and wrapped her arms around Vivi's shoulders. "I know." She whispered, placing her forehead on Vivi's shoulder. "I'd like to be alone, if that's okay." Said Vivi, her voice muffled, once again, by her hands. "Okay." Replied Nami, softly. She unwrapped her arms around Vivi, and stood up. "You can just call me if you need anything." Vivi nodded, and Nami turned and walked out of the room.
Reaching the deck, Nami was bombarded by questions: "What happened?" "Is she okay?" "What was in the letter?" "Who screamed?" "Why'd she storm off like that?"
"QUIET!" Screamed Nami, pushing the people away. The others stared at her, stunned. "It's none of your damn business! Now, set sail for Alabasta!" "ALABASTA?!" The whole crew cried, surprised. "YES ALABASTA! DIDN'T YOU HEAR ME? SET SAIL, DAMMIT!" "OKAY!" Chirped the crew, running to change course. Nami ran downstairs, and into the woman's quarters. "Ignore me…" She mumbled to a surprised Vivi. She opened a drawer in her deck, grabbed the eternal pose Cobra had given them, slammed the drawer shut, and ran out of the room, leaving a very confused Vivi sitting there.
Back on deck, Nami began barking out orders to the crew, whom were scurrying around the deck. Below deck, Vivi sat on her bed, pondering her situation.
