Episode 8: Two For A Movie?


We were notified that our photos had all been examined, the photographer picked our best shots to turn in. The cameraman who favorited me the most told Law and me on how it was a close call and it may be a double elimination depending on how Nami felt and if Luffy allowed it. Of course, he had specifically turned the camera off to tell us because he could get into trouble, but he said that he trusted us enough to not say anything.

That's good to know I have an aura of trust.

It was about to time to collect in the elimination destination that was by the pool since there is a nice spot to do this and we have used it a couple times for elimination. Perona had met me to walk down the stairs and stopped me at the bottom with list glancing back to the balcony.

"Listen, if I don't make it to the next round and Alvida does, you make sure you give her Hell. Okay?" A finger pointed up at me because even though she wore platform like boots I was still taller.

"Huh? What makes you say that?"

"We all know you will at least make it to the final round." A hum left me at the thought and I hoped I would win.

"… What makes you think Alvida will make it, but not you? You are so much better than her, especially since she acts like men have the plague or something." I mentioned and a bit of shock found her face before I noticed a hint of pink with some coughs.

"The photoshoot really didn't go that great." She whispered and my eyebrows bounced up and I swore they still had that damn marking pen to make them look sharper and it still irritated me.

"I'm sure it went better than Alvida."

Before Vivi was eliminated our little group (Kidd, Law, Perona, and me) had talked about how it would probably end with one boy and one girl going neck and neck. Now, that may not be true at all, but we kind of just figured it would happen. Though, Law is a very formidable foe right now, so it's a bit scary thinking that.

"Well, still," Perona continued with a huff whilst looking away, that pink lingering. "If it was between you two then you better hurl her off the cliff." A laugh left me at the image in my head as I knew she wasn't literal, but man it would feel great to do so to that woman.

"Thanks, Perona. Same to you if you get faced with her." An evil glint found her at my words before chuckling.

"Well, of course!" Her boots clopped on the ground as I soon made my way behind her, not forgetting to open the door for her since I mean she actually waited for me to do so. Whatever keeps me on this woman's good side, plus she was just being honest with me so it's the least I could do.

Alvida was actually already standing waiting and I happen to hear Law close his bedroom door and so we made our way over where to stand. Perona and I discussed how dinner was, yeah sounds boring but when you have a five-star chef cooking for you it comes up in conversation. Law joined for the little bit we chatted before Nami and Luffy came from the other side of the pool where the gate was. They must have parked all the way up on the side driveway to be coming from there. Luffy seemed excited as always and the host was shuffling her papers, maybe the photos?

"Good evening, everyone. Step forward." Nami stated whilst the setting turned stiff and could almost suffocate you. It always made me a bit more nervous than I was and so we all stood before her. "We viewed everyone's photos and even went over a review the photographer gave about each of you." Eyes skimmed us briefly before setting some papers down and it looked to be that her hands held our photos. A projector came down to the side of us, shocking me a little, and a light flickered onto it. "Let's start by going over every photo, starting with you Alvida."

The woman stiffened as they showed her picture. Her expression in the photo showed off a bit of discomfort while trying to mask it with an emotionless look. Her foot was set on a fence board as a rope laid over her shoulder with the same arm up for the hand to grasp at it. The other hand had a finger pointed up to look as if she was tipping her hat up as she looked out. In this photo her hair was tucked perfectly into the hat, but her footing was a bit awkward as Nami had started to explain the good and bad of it.

Law was next onto the projector screen and it was written all over in his body language that he did not enjoy it at all. There was nothing really more to say besides that his body did look good, but he wasn't into it and he even said it himself. Next up was me and Nami began in on how the photographer loved to take photos of me anytime and that next time I need to lighten up my muscles some more. I guess I was too butch, but at least my ass looked nice in the photo as I was taking a break in it. Well, I literally was taking a break and I was crouching with a leg out, almost like as if I was stretching, because how damn tight those pants were. The shot was made more to my side, showing a bit of my back as my head was back taking a drink. Somehow in some way water had escaped my lips and a couple drops were trying to line down along my cheek.

A small scoff was heard by Alvida before the photo clicked over to Peronas'. Phew, how did they make this Lolita look like a lean biker?! Her body leaned back on the bike with a foot up on the front wheel as it was turned so she could do so. Her pose was relaxed but had that face saying that she meant business and it could mean with the motorcycle or in your pants. It was impressive and I began to wonder what she meant until Nami stated how the photographer said she needed to open up more like she did in the photo.

Maybe this was why it was the best photo out of them all?

"Now that we have reviewed everyone, I will present your photo stating if you have moved on or if you were eliminated." She held the photos in her hand glancing down to make sure on who it was first. "Alvida," the photo appeared and she stepped forward to take it, "you have been eliminated." I could tell her face was red hot from where I stood and she merely gritted out a thank you before turning to leave into the house. "Zoro," everything bundled in my stomach as I took a step forward to grasp my photo. My heart pounded as I anticipated her words as I was about begging in my head to not say those dreaded words that were told to Alvida. "You have made it to the final round."

A big breath left me and I gazed to the grinning brunette as I smiled back whilst bowing with a soft thank you and moving out of the way as she requested since I will find out my reward soon. Nami went back to business as she named off another.

"Law," the man stepped forward to grasp his photo, not even looking to it. "You have been eliminated." A sly smile found him as he seemed to have known it would happen and bowed towards them both.

"Thank you for this great experience, Luffy-ya. I wish you luck." Luffy was almost in tears as he stated that he still wanted to be friends with the male. A chuckle left the doctor as he reassured the other that it was fine and to cheer up before excusing himself from the area. Perona was jittering in her spot as she now knew what the words would be for.

"Perona, you have made it to the final round." Fingers strained not to grip the photo too hard as she chirped a thank you before bounding over next to me to give a small shoulder check with a grin. Nami and Luffy moved to be in front of us as a hand soon found mine by Luffy as he tugged us both forward.

"Date-o! Date-o!" The idol hopped around as Perona and I had to keep still from it all.

"Yes, yes, the both of you will spend a whole day separately and together." My eyes met pink hair before her eyes found mine with a bit of shock. "Luffy, you will have to wait until at least Monday."

"Mou~! I want to at least watch a movie with both!" A whine left the star and moved to grab each of our arms and hold us close. "They don't mind! Ne, Ne?!" Eyes flicked between Perona and I with myself coughing lightly with flushed cheeks from the look and hold. A small whine left Perona at the mention of such a cute face before agreeing with a mutter. "See! See!"

"Just one movie!" A finger was up at the brunette from his agent before she grasped at the bridge of her nose lightly with a sigh. "Don't even think I won't know either like that time you had a movie night with the girls."

"Hai! Hai!" Our bodies were shifted again before he looked to us both. "Go get comfy!" An agreeance left us as we headed into the house and she did a little dance with her photo out as she twirled.

"This is exciting! I didn't think I was going to make it this far!" Perona looked like a school girl going on a date for the first time with her long time crush.

Ugh, I swear Chopper's school life dramas are rubbing off onto me.

"Told you that you did better than that woman." I mentioned and she looked to me with a genuine smile before giving a quick hug before pulling quickly and moving to her side of the stairs.

"The challenge is on, but at least it's with a good formidable foe!" A finger was pointed to me as I noticed how the more we got acquainted her more carefree side comes out and it was kind of nice. People are becoming more real around me and that's what I like, no need for a façade.

"Right, we shall fight to the death!" A gave a few flicks of my wrist towards her as if I had a sword and her hands covered her mouth when I hopped onto a step. Stifled giggles rattled her body as we soon laughed out and I made my way up with hands in my pockets. "Let's not keep Luffy too long."

"Right!" She stated up before making her way to her bedroom and I did towards mine, but before I entered Law stepped out of his with a bag.

"Leaving tonight?" I asked him as most waited for the morning and before he answered a hand scratched at his chin.

"I actually live in the area, a bit more in the city towards the hospital, so I need to get back as soon as possible."

"Oh yeah, real life, huh?" A smirk found him as he approached me with grey eyes showing slight interest in something.

"Yes, though with my new friend it will be a bit more exciting." A hand soon moved to grasp my shoulder as he leaned next to my ear. "I have no doubt in your success, Zoro-ya." The soft tone showed a spike of interest in it as it soon got lower. "If no luck then you know where to find me." My head snapped to look at him as he pulled away with a bit of a sadistic laugh before moving on with a hand up. "Another time, ya?"

… Did he just seriously imply an interest in me?

I just stood with a blank expression on my face as I wasn't sure what really happened before shaking my head when I felt a foot tap my shin. The cameraman was signaling me to move on so I could join them all downstairs. I changed into my usual pajama pants and a loose t-shirt before leaving the room with just my socks on my feet now.

I could hear Perona already downstairs talking to the idol about what to watch and I soon moved down to join them. They were very animated about it and when I gave them a shrug of suggestion they continued with rock, paper, and scissors.

Luffy won.
