AN: I'm trying to even out my use of the characters. Since Usopp and Chopper each only had one appearance, this chapter will have both of them in it.

Title: Washah!
Characters: Usopp and Chopper, and brief Robin and Zoro
Rating: K+
Summary: Usopp invents a whole new series of strange cries.
A/N: It's impossible to make an angst or hurt/comfort with both of them. They're just too... happy ^0^ That's why I love both of them.
Originally, I was going to have them bake a pie, but it turned out to be too long so I wrote this out instead. Plus, I don't even know how to make a pie.

The morning was cold, as usual, and everyone was sleeping, as usual. Usopp sat upright in his bunk, thin blanket wrapped around his scrawny figure. His nightcap was pulled over his eyes and he shivered as he attempted to stay warm. Luffy had built a crude parachute out of all their nice, thick, insulated winter blankets (that idiot) which resulted in them being cut up, sewn together, and shredded to bits. As a result, the men would have to use their thin summer blankets until they could buy more in the next town. And, of course, Nami refused to share hers with them and Robin simply didn't see why it was such a problem.
"Usopp? Are you awake?" Usopp heard Chopper whisper from the bunk below his.
"Yup. It's freakin' cold." Usopp whispered back.
"I can't sleep."
"Let's go outside!"
"Whaaaa? But it's too cold!"
"That's what real warriors do! They survive in all sorts of weather!"
"We'll get sick, though!"
"Not if we wear extra jackets, right?"
"Oh, right!" Chopper jumped out of bed, as did Usopp. They quietly snuck around the other men's bunks, swiping their sweaters and jackets. By the time they finished the round, Usopp was wearing twelve layers and Chopper resembled a ball of laundry. Giggling madly to themselves, they went outside.
"WASHAAAAAH! It's so COLD!" Usopp immediately shouted through six scarves.
"Hee hee! What's a washah?" Chopper giggled.
"Oh? WASHAAAAAAH!" Usopp shouted again, this time wiggling like a noodle for added affect.
"Let me try! WOOOSHAAAAAH!" Chopper shouted, his voice muffled by the wall of jackets surrounding his tiny body.
"And we can't ever forget SHADDUUUUUP!" Usopp yelled.
"SHADDUUUUUP!" Chopper repeated, laughing hysterically.
"What about KYAAAAPAAAAAH!" Usopp screamed.
"KYAPAAAAH!" Chopper screamed alongside him.
"WASHAAAAH!"
"KYAPAAAAAH!"
"I won't even ask..." Usopp and Chopper shrieked and whipped around. Zoro was standing behind them in nothing but a thin T-shirt and trousers.
"SHADDUUUP!" Usopp roared, wiggling around.
"YEAH! SHADDUUUUUUP!" Chopper repeated, attempting to bite Zoro's foot but failing due to the fact his layers of clothing prevented him from doing much other than rolling around.
"Uh huh. I'll be in the observation deck." Zoro walked away.
"PWASHAAAAAAH!" Usopp yelled after him.
"Pwashah! What's a Pwashah?" Chopper giggled.
"PWASHAAAAH!" Usopp yelled again.
"It sounds like WASHAAAAAH!" Chopper laughed, rolling around on the deck.
"YEEEEESHOOOOOH!" Usopp shouted.
"Eeeeheeee!" Chopper laughed, tears rolling down his face. "That's too much! Hee heeee!"
Usopp caught sight of Robin standing at the railing, looking out to sea. He quickly motioned for Chopper to be quiet, holding back laughter. Chopper stuffed his hoofs into his mouth, cheeks bulging from the effort to hold back his giggling. Usopp slowly snuck up behind Robin.
"WASHAAAAAAAH!!!" Usopp screamed when he was right behind her. Immediately, phantom arms shot out of Usopp's neck and began strangling him. Chopper shrieked.
"Oh, is that you, Longnose-kun?" Robin asked without turning around. "I'm sorry. You startled me, is all."
"EEEYAAAAAAH! ROOOOBIIIN!" Chopper screamed. The arms released the blue-faced Usopp. Robin walked away, smiling to herself.
"I'm sorry about nearly strangling you to death, Longnose-kun." Robin called over her shoulder.
"YOU LOOK TOO HAPPY ABOUT IT!" Usopp yelled. He crossed his arms and pouted. "Hmph."
"Let's go try it on Zoro!" Chopper said excitedly.
"Yosha! Let's go!" Usopp jumped up. They both ran to the observation deck, screaming and whooping along the way.
