Here's that other chapter I promised, because I am SUCH a good person.

Zolo: Pfft!

SHUT-IT, CRAP-SWORDSMAN! -Calms down- Okay, -clears throat- now, where were we? Oh yes, I am a good person in every way. JKJKJK So, here's the extra chapter I promised you. A day late, but here, nonetheless.

Disclaimer: Just be thankful that I don't own One Piece. Melissa is mine, and Kris is -looks at new pen name- Shawn's, Spencer's, Shassied...who? Oh! Skelly's! Whatever... SHE'LL ALWAYS BE RIVVY TO ME!! -cough- I came up with both of your nicknames man.

He hated Luffy. Sanji. Sanji hated Luffy for his stupid, darn, good-for-nothing, curiosity. It always got them into trouble. This time though, it just brought pain. Pain that was as bad as seeing Melissa in that hospital bed, crippled and helpless.

That was all there was to it; Sanji hated Luffy.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoFlashOBackoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

Kris, Shanks, and the gang were walking out of the hospital when Luffy stopped.

"What's wrong, Luf?" Kris asked, surprised at his irrupted stop and serious look.

"Hmm, I wonder how the driver is." He responded, looking Kris straight in the eyes.

"The driver?" Kris asked. She knew perfectly well what he meant, but this would end up with Luffy doing something stupid, and getting everyone in trouble. The usual. Kris sighed.

Luffy turned, and started to walk towards the main desk when Kris put a hand on his shoulder. "Luffy, why make these obviously, hard working people stressed, and annoyed? Come on, let's just go-" Luffy took Kris' hand, and made it release his shoulder. After a kind, toothy grin, he made a mad dash for Melissa's room, changing course. "Luffy!" Kris huffed out, annoyed.

With his stretchy legs, Luffy was much faster than Kris. But, Kris wasn't exactly slow either! She ran as fast as she could, leaving everyone else in the dust... er, the lobby.

"Lu..ffy. Gonna.. get.. you!" She said between pants. After all, it's hard to be running a top speed, peeved at your boyfriend, and trying to talk aloud to yourself at the same time.

Kris looked down the hallway, seeing Luffy turn a sharp corner. "Good," she chuckled, "now I got you!" Kris used the last bit of her energy and shot down the hall. "Hold it rubber boy!" Kris stuck out her hand to grab the doorway, and turned into the room... into Luffy. She bounced back out of the room and fell onto the hallway floor. "Ouch! Luffy! Why did you-" Kris stopped herself when she seen Luffy, just standing there, frozen in place. Without looking, and being completely silent, Luffy stretched out his left arm, wrapped it around Kris' waist, and lifted her to her feet.

"What are they doing here?! Get them out of here!" Yelled the doctor. The nursed shooed them out.

"Clear!" A jolt of electricity shot through Melissa's body, and she jumped.

Kris and Luffy didn't argue to leave, but the stood at the door. The watched in horror through the small window. The difibulator charged, and shocked Melissa four or five more times, until it was over. Her heart started again.

All Kris could mutter was, "Dear God..." Kris' aggravation and frustration towards Luffy vanished. She was just thankful she had him at the moment.

Tears bruned her eyes again, and all she wanted to do was sob in his arms, but, something stopped her.

The door opened and the doctors exited. "Kid, don't go running in the hospital, don't you know how dangerous it is?" Luffy stare straight ahead. "You too, girly." The man pointed to Kris, and then walked away muttering, "Stupid kids," and some choice curses.

"Hey, mister!" Luffy yelled after him, "do you know who the driver is? Where are they?"

The man kept walking.

"Hey, I'm talking to you!" Luffy jogged toward him and Kris, reluctantly, followed. But, not before cast one last look to Melissa.

"Hey--"

"WHAT?!"

"I--"

Kris jumped in front of Luffy. "Sir, my friend and I here would like to see how the driver is."

"Who? The lady from that girl's case? Yeah, she's here. You don't have permission to see her." He turned to go, but Kris stopped him.

"Our guardian is here, if he comes along, then, may we see the driver?"

The doctor gave a loud huff of defeat. "Meet me outside the door to room B105, with your guardian, in five minutes. It's in the on the very first floor."

Finally, he trudged off, and Luffy and Kris walked to get Shanks and the gang. Kris had an eiry feeling. Like, why were they going to the basement for a patient?

CLIFFY. !!

Rivvy: Not really.

...Crap, you're right.

Rivvy: Aren't I always?

...

Guys, I just gotta let you know that the next chapter won't be up until later in the week. Rivvy, this isn't exactly the way you told me how to say no, but, sorry.

Diving starts Monday, and I have to type ahead the next few chapters. 'Til next time, CYAS!
