Thanks Gnomjovel for your idea, now I can write this chapter. I hope everyone likes it, and oh yeah, check out my new poll because it will affect the outcome of the new few chapters.
Amelia didn't know what to do. She went through the rest of the day solemnly and just ignored any questions from the other crew members. Most of the time was spent reading on another chair next to Robin, who glanced over worriedly every five minutes. Amelia was annoyed at this, but ignored it too. As the sun started setting, she folded the edge of the page she was on, closed the book, placed it on Robin's table, and silently walked to her room. However, she was stopped at the door when Luffy appeared in front of her, looking rather down. "Amy...what's wrong with you and Nami?" he asked. Amelia sighed and led him into her room with her.
"Luffy...I'm not the only one who loves you. In fact, there's someone on this ship who's loved you way longer than me, and just never showed it."
"Well of course, all the crew loves me!"
"No Luffy, not love like that! Love love."
"Umm...what's that?" Luffy looked at her stupidly.
"Oh my god, Luffy. You should get the Guiness World Record for stupidest 17-year-old in the universe! Nami loves you, you idiot!" Amelia said, standing up. She was getting angry with Luffy. Luffy just stared at her.
"Huh...?"
"NAMI LOVES YOU!! GET IT THROUGH YOUR TINY BONEHEADED BRAIN!!"
"Oh." Luffy said blankly.
"And you need to go talk to her, or else she's going to hate me for the rest of her life! She won't listen to me, but maybe you..." Amelia shook her head sadly and sat back down. "Just go talk to her, Luffy. You have to make her understand that it's not my fault that you love me, and it's not my fault that I love you."
Luffy stood up silently and left, leaving Amelia to sigh and plop down onto her bed to relax. A knock was heard on Nami's door. "Come in if you're not Amelia." she said solemnly from inside. Luffy entered to see her almost completely bent over her desk, working on a tearstained map.
"Nami, I need to talk to you." Luffy said, standing next to her and putting his hand on her tense shoulder. It was immediately swiped off. "Nami, seriously. If you won't listen to Amy, you have to listen to me. It's not her fault that we're in love. If you've loved me for so long, then why didn't you ever show it? If you did, you might've had a chance. You could've taught me all the things Amy has taught so far a long time ago."
"Since when were you Dr. Phil?" Nami said angrily, accidentally ripping her paper because she was writing too hard.
"Who's that?" Luffy said, once again acting like his usual stupid self.
"Nevermind. Just go away."
Luffy was silent for a moment, but didn't move. Then he said, "I'm not leaving until you agree to be friends with Amy again. She's really sad. You should've seen her all today."
"But she got what she wanted."
"Love isn't the only thing she wants. Her friends are important to her too. And you were one of her best friends on this ship."
"Too bad."
Luffy was losing his temper, for once. He was making his brain work so hard to come up with all this mature-sounding stuff. "NAMI, YOU HAVE TO STOP THIS!! I CAN'T STAND IT ANYMORE!! YOU'RE AN IMPORTANT FRIEND TO ME TOO, BUT I ONLY FRIEND-LOVE YOU!! YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT!! YOU WERE TOO LATE IN CONFESSING!!"
Luffy could hear Nami crying under her tangled hair and hunched back. "I'm sorry...it's just that..."
"Why don't you ask Zoro or Sanji, or maybe even Frankie? New love would be a good way to forget."
"Maybe."
"But will you be friends with Amy again? Because I'm not leaving until you say yes."
Nami was silent for a moment, but then she staggered out a, "Fine."
"Good. Now come out here and eat. It's almost dinnertime." At the sudden thought of food, Luffy pretty much jumped. "And hurry up!"
Nami stood up and hugged Luffy, still crying. "Just give me one hug." she said quietly. Luffy smiled and hugged back, then broke the hug.
"Now c'mon! Let's get food!" he said, finally happy, and ran out out the door to the kitchen. Nami could hear him yelling at Sanji to hurry up as she wiped her eyes and walked out as well. Deep down in her heart, now she knew it was her who had been wrong. Luffy had gotten to her, made her understand the truth. It was amazing how serious and smart-sounding he could be when he wanted to.
The dinner was spent as the only happy meal that day. Nami wasn't quite as enthusiastic as usual, but she worked hard to smile as she ate. It would take a while for her broken heart to heal, but eventually it would. Nami understood now.
As Amelia started walking back to her room happily with a full stomach, Luffy stopped her. "Hey! I've been waiting all day to know what sex is! Tell me! Tell me! Tell me!" Amelia sighed and led him to her room.
"Alright, alright, alright. But don't expect any from me, because I'm not going to have sex until I'm married."
"What's married?" Luffy asked as they laid down on the bed next to each other.
"When two people love each other very much, they get married. They give each other rings that mean they'll be together forever. Unless they divorce, that is, which happens most of the time, sadly. Divorced is when the couple are getting in a whole bunch of fights and they don't want to be together anymore, or something like that. Got it?"
"I think so. Now what's sex?"
"Okay, how should I say this...I'll go with the birds and the bees. Say the bee is a man, and the bird is a woman. If the bird and the bee are in love, the bee will sting the bird in it's hind, and resulting lump is pregnancy." Amelia could anticipate his next question. "Pregnancy is when a big lump grows on a woman's stomach, and after about nine months, a baby pops out."
"From the stomach? Eww!"
"No, not the stomach, idiot! The...umm..." Amelia pointed to her private parts.
"Ohh...that's nasty..."
"You came from one of those, you know."
"Eww!!" Luffy exclaimed and sat up, putting his hands all over himself to make sure no nasty substances were left on him.
"It's alright, Luffy! They clean you off as soon as you come out!"
"Oh, okay..." he said, breathing a sigh of relief as he layed back down.
"Now do you understand?"
"What sex is? No. Men don't have stingers."
Amelia just looked at him.
"Oh...all these things are nasty..."
"Now do you understand, though?"
"I think so, but wouldn't that hurt?"
"Yes, but it's supposed to feel good."
"Really? Then let's do it!"
"No! Remember, I said I'm not going to until I'm married?" Amelia said, pushing him away from her.
"Oh yeah. I'll go do it with Nami or Robin then."
"No, stupid!" Amelia said, pulling him to her. "You only have sex with people if you love each other."
"Oh. Now I understand. Let's get married already!"
"No, stupid! We're only 17!"
"Oh..."
The rest of the night was spent with Amelia explaining stupid things to him over and over. )
Hope you liked it! I kind of made this chapter mostly comedy, now that all the drama is over. I like adding comedy after drama to even it out. Anyways, review please, review! And remember to take my poll!
