Day 14

Luffy started her day early and sulking. The previous night, after her scalp wouldn't stop itching, she had visited Selma and was told she had somehow gotten itching powder on her head. Luffy put two and two together and was now having to keep her beloved hat OFF her head for the first time since it was given to her. So when morning came around, she woke up with the first rays of the sun and immediately went to look for Marco, who was always up and about BEFORE the sun.

M: Luffy? What are you doing up?

L: (Pouting) boshi~...

M: Oh. Right. So how are we going to get revenge?

L: I was thinking something along the lines of destruction of property, or theft. Did they prank you as well, or did they just go after me?

M: Did you hear any birds last night?

L: (Nods)

M: Then there is your answer.

L: (Eyes wide) they put birds in your room? How many? Can I see? May I pet them?

M: Sadly. Umm... I believe around 9... Let's see, there were two blue Indian ring-necks, four blue budgies, a blue lovebird, a blue jay, a blue macaw, and a little blue parrolet.

L: Lots of blue...

M: I think that was the point. Thatch did say he thought I should be amongst my brethren.

L: Can I pet them?

M: (shakes head) birds need twelve hours of sleep a day. Leave them be.

L: aw~. Then why don't you get twelve hours of sleep a day?

M: Because I have work to do.

L: So does Zoro, and he still does a lot of sleeping.

M: I have more work than he will ever have to deal with.

L: Not true. You have paperwork; he has me to watch over.

M: You're admitting that you're high maintenance?

L: No. I'm only saying it takes a lot of work to take care of me.

M: That's the- never mind. How and what were you planning on destroying?

L: Ace made my hat unwearable for who-knows-how-long, so I plan to make his unwearable. I'm going to have it incinerated and its ashes will be tossed out into the sea that its master loves so much.

M: You do realize his hat, and the rest of his clothes are fireproof, right? They were designed that way so he wouldn't become an exhibitionist after every battle.

L: (Frowns) then what should I do? Steal it?

M: Nah. Be more creative then that. What time is it?

L: It's around 6. Why?

M: Great! Ace doesn't like to wake up until 10 at the very latest. Until then, you could kick him, toss him, yell in his ear, dump him on his rump, and he'll still be comatose. If he has it his way, he'll stay in bed until lunch is being served and then eat both breakfast and lunch in the same sitting.

L: What are you getting at? Wake him up?

M: Precisely. Only do it in the most obnoxious and cruel way possible. Do you get what I am saying?

L: (Thinks for a moment) yeah. Do you have any thread I could use?

(With ace)

Ace's day did not start out as a happy one. He had gone to bed the previous night a few hours after midnight and, therefore, being woken up at 6:45 to the song, "One week", blasting in his ear was not the best way to start his morning. It took him a moment after being woken up to realize that the annoying sounds were coming from noise-canceling ear buds placed firmly in his ear. After pulling those out he still heard the music, only it was LOUDER. He searched for the source, and this time found it was coming from his hat. He looked all over it and after a good seven minutes, found a small seam in the rim of his hat that was only slightly different from the rest of the seams. Something about the color of the thread being only a touch brighter than the rest. He hated to do it but he cut the seam and found a small flat device playing the song. He quickly took it out of his hat and found a way to turn it off. The room was still not silent. The music still continued to play, some still coming from his hat, some from his pants, and, after a few more seconds, his pillow, his mattress, his ceiling, his desk, his door, his wall, just outside his window, and to top it off, his water bottle. They must have been on a timer or something because they turned themselves back on after every two minutes.

A: RAWR! Why wont these stupid things SHUT UP and LET ME SLEEP! It isn't fair!

When he had finally uncovered them all, he decided that instead of just turning them off every two minutes, he was going to take them and chuck them out his window and into the deep blue ocean, that wasn't actually as deep as it usually was seeing as they were in a harbor still.

A: Finally! Sleep~ (lies down and almost immediately begins to snore).

(Ten minutes later)

A: (Hears more loud music. This time it was "It's a small world") hdkdkshjriwkdba! Die music! Die and let me sleep!

(With Team Phoenix King)

L: (On deck and able to hear Ace's loud curses) humph. That's not even the end of it aniki. There are still another 3 rounds to go.

M: (standing next to Luffy) would you like to do the honors and add a tally to our board or shall I?

L: You aren't going to prank Thatch?

M: Oh I will. Just not today. Today is Saturday. My prank will only work tomorrow.

L: Why? What's tomorrow?

M: Sunday.

L: I knew that! But what is so special about Sunday?

M: You'll see.

L: Meany.

M: Patience is a virtue you should cultivate.

L: (Sticks tongue out at her teammate and goes to add a tally to the board).

A/N- Sorry! This was way late! For future reference, I'll most likely only be able to update on weekends.

Also, Pokepika, I am so sorry but I could make myself destroy his hat. I love it too much :(

I have absolutely NOTHING against those songs, I just chose two of the songs that easily get stuck in my head and stay there.

If you guys think of any ideas for pranks, do share. I like lots and lots of options ^^
