Gah.. so happy it's fall break.. But i still have hw to do.. Anyway, now we're back in the "real world" of our story and this is what's going on! I don't know what was going through my mind, but i found it to be kinda funny. I have the feeling this story will be a long one... but i'm not too sure. Yes I know... I'm weird. Enough of my ramblings. On with the show!

Chapter 10

The night air was quiet except for the low hum of the street lights. Stars in the sky shone bright like hundreds of fireflies. The lonesome moon glowed its pale color alongside the stars. Every house was dark and quiet except for one. The bell chimed 11:00 pm while the company talked and laughed.

"Whoa!" exclaimed Usopp. "It's already 11? I better head home now." He got up from his spot under the blanket of the kotatsu, and headed for the door. Robin was about to get up when Sanji held her hand and called out to Usopp.

"Why go home now? Why not have a sleepover here?" exclaimed Sanji. "That's right! How about we have a sleep over right here in Terin's house? In honor of Luffy and sweet Nami-san joining our group of friends!" Everyone cheered in agreement except for Luffy and Terin. She was sipping some tea while Luffy sat blushing a little bit.

"Well, how about it Terin?" asked Sanji, pushing his face near hers. Her eyes closed, she placed the cup back on the table and stood up from it. She clenched her hands into fist and threw a punch at Sanji's face.

"Don't go making propositions on your own!" she yelled. Sanji flew quite a ways down the hall until he hit a door. He laid there, twitching as the rest of them stared down the hallway.

"We don't have to do this. We'll all go if you'd like," said Luffy with a smile. Terin glanced at him with kinder eyes. She sighed and ran a hand through her white hair.

"Oh, alright. Since everyone wants to do so anyway," she finally said. Everyone cheered once again, even the battered Sanji. Terin sighed again tilting her head slightly. She had a small smile across her face, small but big enough for Robin to notice. Luffy threw his arms in the air, and wrapped them around her. She fell from the grab and onto her hands, Luffy resting himself on her.

"Thanks Terin! This is gonna be loads of fun!" he yelled. Terin sat there, blushing so many colors of red that it looked like her hair wanted to turn pink. Slowly, but surely, she lifted her arms and lightly wrapped them around him too. Robin smiled, resting her head in her hand.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

"Hah! I win, for sure this time too!" belched Luffy who just won his third soda drinking contest. Sanji was laying on the table, moaning from the intake of soda he had. Luffy was still able to sit up on his chair, ready for another round. Nami and Robin were having a pleasant conversation while Usopp calculated how much soda must've been consumed. Terin sat on a chair, observing everything that was happening.

'What in the world possessed me to allow this?' she thought. It was 2 in the morning now, everyone still wide awake. Luffy turned around on his chair and noticed the quiet Terin alone, separate from everyone else. He got up and stumbled his way to her.

"What's wrong?" he asked looking up at her. He fell on his back trying to get over to the chair. Terin shook her head, the white strands flying in every which way. Sanji, back from his painful state, walked over to their little group with an empty bottle in his hand. He sat down with a groan and leaned against a wall.

"If your going to throw up, please get a bucket," she insisted. Sanji just glared at her with his visible eye and belched. Terin pulled her legs up on the chair, and rested her chin on her knees. Luffy, still lying on the floor, scrunched his eyebrows.

"What can we play that Terin can play too?" he asked out loud. It was quiet for a while except for the burping of the two men full of soda. Nami held a finger to her chin in thought and suddenly thought of something.

"How about spin-the-bottle?" suggested Nami, a bit eager to play as well. She was practically hopping in excitement to play it. Luffy sat up from his spot and looked at her. He tilted his head, an obvious sign he didn't understand something. Nami sighed, shrugging her shoulders for no apparent reason.

"That game? Of all things, why that?" commented Terin, still on her chair. Luffy turned her head on the spot and smiled at her. She just blinked at him, almost falling asleep.

"If you're still wondering, spin-the-bottle is when you spin a bottle and whoever it points to in the end you have to kiss," she explained. Luffy pouted and turned back to Nami.

"You wanted us to play THAT?" he said a bit disgusted. Robin and Sanji chuckled at his question. Nami, arms crossed, answered, "Come on! Let's play! It'll be fun." He thought doubtfully, but slowly nodded his head.

They all gathered around in a circle and placed the bottle in the middle. Terin stayed in her chair, so they left a space where she would've sat so the bottle could still point at her. Sanji decided to go first and gave the bottle a spin. The glass clinked and grinded against the wood floor as it span, holding the fate of Sanji's kisser. Then, the bottle stopped.

'Oh this isn't going to be good.'

'How the hell did this happen!'

'Now I see why Terin doesn't like this game.'

'God help me now.'

'This is going to be good. Where's a camera?'

'What a chance of bad luck.'

HAHA! They end up playing spin-the-bottle! I bet you can't figure out some of the thoughts at the end... have fun doing that while you wait for my next update! I'm sorry for my short chapters lately... but please still review.

I just want to say I'm sorry for my late updates on everything. I'm just so busy with stuff to do. I'm also working on other stories I plan on releasing soon (Sounds like i'm making a movie.. lol) so there's more to come from me! I'll try to find more time to update more often, but good thing it's fall break! Until next time! À Bientôt!
