Chapter 8 The good, the bad and…?
"Kaya what do you mean he broke up with you? Your joking right, he's crazy about you!" Nami exclaimed.
"No guys I am serious, he told me that it just wasn't working and that he need some time apart. He is going somewhere for the weekend, without me! What am I going to do? Usopp was the best thing that happened to me!" Kaya was sobbing, "I mean what if he met someone and likes her better then me? I bet that is why he's going away for the weekend, to meet her!"
"Kaya calm down, don't jump to conclusions, me, Katelyn and Vivi will go with you to your apartment. Zoro, you Luffy and Sanji better find out what Usopp is up to or I'll have your heads!" Nami growled.
"What if we don't want to get into it?" Zoro said.
"Hmm let's see, I'll rip your heads off just like I said now gooooo!" Nami turned evil.
"Ok, ok you know if you don't go to hell I'm pushing you down!" Zoro grinned as he ran off.
"Only for you Nami-chwaaaan!" Sanji cooed with hearts in his eyes. They all rushed to Kaya's apartment, when they got inside Vivi gaped in awe.
"Kaya your apartment is so awesome!" She said.
"Don't try to make me happy with petty comments, it won't help! My heart is broken, shattered, stomped on!" Kaya said as she flopped on her designer couch.
"Well what should we do to get your mind off of Usopp?" Katelyn reasoned.
"Nothing, I can't and won't get over Usopp until I know why! Why didn't it work? I never pushed him to do anything; I was content in his company… Ok so I wanted him to kiss me, hold me or something. But I loved that we felt like we didn't' need to rush things."
"What do you mean you wanted him to kiss or hold you? I thought you guys were kissing. At graduation you said that you did!" Nami said as Kate agreed with her.
"Well we did then, and after it was like he got all weird. All he wanted to do were a bunch of little romantic things for me. At first I was ok, but then whenever I tried to kiss him he'd avoid me, change the subject. It's not fair, I want him, I only want Usopp!" Vivi looked at Kaya oddly,
"Why do you like Usopp so much? He used to be your number one admirer when I knew you guys. You never liked him as more then a friend. I think you might even have called him a nuisance. I just don't get it, what changed?" Kaya stared at her wide eyed. Nami shook her head; it was all true Kaya had said that, done that. And for her to be so destroyed over him was a bit out of character.
"You're right, but you forgot the fact that I always was near him. I wanted to hear his silly stories. I loved the way he handled those children that he called his crew. Did you guys know that when I was sick at home, that first time my parents went over seas, he came over everyday after school? He told the biggest lies about what happened while I was at school. Like he told me that in science lab, Luffy was feeding his goldfish genetically enhanced food and it grew as big as the classroom? I think that the only reason I said all those things, is because of what everyone else said. I wanted to be the best, the perfect pretty girl you know? But once I jumped and went out with Usopp I found out how much I really cared for him. So now, when I know exactly how I feel about him, he breaks up with me!' Kaya sobbed.
"And how do you feel about him?" Nami asked quietly.
"I love him Nami, I really love him!"
"I can't see any reason for him breaking up with you, unless he's gay. Do you think he is gay? When you guys used to kiss and stuff did he grab your ass or anything?"
"No, of course not Vivi, you know Usopp he gay, just not gay… Well maybe girls the only two things I think of why he broke up with me are #1 He is seeing someone else! Or #2 He is gay! Ok let's watch a movie, Zoro and Sanji will do exactly what Nami tells them!' Kaya smiled.
'One thing can I ask it?" Vivi said.
"Shoot, Vi chan."
"Is Sanji still in love with you Nami?"
"No, at least I don't think so. I think he does it now just to get on Zoro's nerves."
"Yeah but you two slept together, doesn't that mean something?"
"Well I think it meant we were over. It was ok and it was comfortable. But there was nothing that made me think 'oh yes I want Sanji always and forever' and I think he thought the same as me. You know Sanji is a skirt chaser." Nami chuckled.
"Yeah, I know," Vivi sighed. Kaya looked at Katelyn and Nami, the goons didn't know that Vivi was in love with Sanji!
"You know Vivi chan when you hung out with us, Sanji was truly, madly, deeply head over heels for you! You remember that time when on our way to Alabasta High, Sanji tried to get you to sleep in a sleeping bag with him? He didn't even do that with Nami!"
"Oh yeah, but I bet that was only cuz Nami would have hit him or something!" Vivi laughed.
"No, I think that Sanji had a real big crush on you. He didn't even flirt as hard with me after you left. I think he got all depressed. Hey Vivi are you thinking of going here when you graduate?" Nami asked.
"Yeah I want to go to school with you guys. I applied and got in, that is why I came, but for some reason I thought that you guys would still be at home. And I ran into Zoro and… Well anyway, yes I want to go here!"
"Oh Vivi that is so great, do you think that you are going to want to stay in the dorms, or do you want to stay in an apartment with me Nami and Kate?"
"With you guys! Who would want to stay in a dorm if they had a chance to have an awesome apartment like this!" Vivi cheered. Kaya shot Nami a 'look' but then turned to everyone.
"Thank you guys for making me feel better, and for letting me talk. Now let's watch a comedy or a horror, I could only watch that. Romance would be too hurtful." They all nodded in agreement as they popped in Hostel. –Guys-
"Damn how many places could Usopp have to hide?" Zoro cursed.
"He is an expert a running away. I am just surprised that he would run away from Kaya." Sanji said, exhaling a long drag from his lips.
"How can you run and smoke?" A voice said from the corner.
"Usopp, ha Usopp we found you!" Luffy laughed as he tackled the boy to the ground.
"Luffy leave me alone, why are you guys looking for me anyway?"
"Nami told us too." Zoro said,
"So, what for?"
"Usopp even I am not that stupid, you know we were sent here to find out why you dumped Kaya."
"That is none of your business!" Usopp crossed his arms.
"Oh, I get it, it is the only reason you would dump Kaya…" Zoro said.
"What, you found out, how could you know!"
"Damn Usopp the only sane reason would be that you are gay! Duh, don't worry we will all never stop being your friends!" Zoro said patting him on the back.
"What, I am not gay! You guys don't know me at all!"
"Not true Usopp, I know the real reason you dumped Kaya." Lufy said solemnly. Everyne stared at Luffy waiting for him to continue. "You think that you are not good wnough for her." Usopp gaped open mouthed.
"Luffy you are so wrong, why would I dump her if that was true? She would've dumped me first!" Usopp yelled.
"Wait, now that I think about it you were worried about what Kaya's friends said." Sanji said thoughtfully.
"Yeah and you have just been treating her like a goddess for the last couple months, I mean Kaya's great but she's not perfect!" Zoro said.
"Usopp don' act llike we're stupid. We're your Nakama. We know you and how you feel, even if you do lie a lot!" Luffy said as he pushed Usopp towards his, Zoro and Usopps's room.
"Can't you guys understand that I don't want to talk about this then?"
"Nope, plus we have hellfire cats that will be mad if we don't get down to the bottom of this! You better not have caused them reason to vent about us!" Zoro bit out.
"You guys all have problems, Usopp doesn't think much about his self, Sanji doesn't want to commit and Zoro's too wrapped up in feeling bad for himself he doesn't open his eyes and look around. Katelyn and I talk when we think there is a problem. That is what you and Zoro need to do Usopp. And Sanji, don't act like your pity party number 2, we all know that you can get a girlfriend. You act like we don't know that you had Annie around treating us all like shit because you feel bad about yourself. But you know what I have a solution. Yes me, Luffy the one who acts all crazy and like he doesn't know anything. Me, I have a solution." The three boys were too speechless at first to do anything but stare at Luffy. Finally Sanji cleared his throat.
"Wow, Luffy I'm sorry that,"
"Come on Sanji we are not the girls. You can't really apologize to your guy friends! Just tell me that you want to know the solution and I will tell you."
"We wanna know ok!" Zoro laughed, relieved that it wasn't going to be an I'm-so-sorry girly sob fest.
"Ok think what your girl wants the most from you. Sanji don't interrupt, you have a girl whether you know it or not," Luffy said as Sanji had opened his mouth to object. "Now once you have that one thing, and Usopp it doesn't have to be an item you buy. We are going to meet them at the park where we used to pretend to look for One Piece, ok?" The guys nodded. "And Usopp you are going to take miss Kaya's hand lead her away, give her the thing she wants most and you Zoro. You are going to do the same. I know what she did was bad, but get it out of your head ok? Sanji has been chasing Nami forever, you know they needed that out of their systems."
"Luffy I am not pissed about that anymore!" Zoro defended.
"Maybe not pissed Mr. Interupter, but you are worried. I know all of you, what do you think I do when I daydream?"
"I always thought that you made up adventures looking for your grandpa's One Piece…" Usopp mumbled.
"Ok, so you got me there!" Luffy laughed. "But I do also think of my friends. Hey I wouldn't be the same Monkey D. Luffy if I didn't have you guys! And Sanji guess what, the girl of your dreams, that you replaced Nami with, is going to be at the park too! So I suggest you drop all that, I-am-a-drop-dead-gorgeous-romantic stuff and be true, cuz that is just how Vivi chan likes you!" Zoro and Usopp turned to Sanji with wide eyed expression,
"What?" Sanji shrugged, then turned to Luffy, "So you think I am drop dead gorgeous huh? Want me to take you on a date?"
"You know I didn't mean it like that. So what do you guys say? You want to do this?"
"I'm in" Zoro yawned.
"Yeah me too… I guess." Usopp shrugged.
"I got nothing better to do," Sanji mumbled.
"Oh yeah, you know it's great to see you all so enthusiastic! No, no, no!" Luffy yelled as he banged Sanji and Zoro's heads together, then smacked Usopp in the back of the head. "Let's try this again. Are you all ready to do this?"
"Yes!" The three shouted grinning… Good ol' Luffy.
-End-
Ok I know that was shorter, but that's only cuz I want to make the next one long! So do you think there should be a lemon or two in the next chapter…? I am still debating. Of course there will be no lemon with Sanji/Vivi not just yet cuz they are not dating and we have upstanding pirates here (what an oxymoron ne?). N-E ways Luffy was all cool this chappie, but there is always trouble in paradise!
