Nami looks through the sliding glass door into the garden to find that Luffy is actually taking things seriously for once. Luffy is standing in the middle of the garden and is keeping an eye on their puppies, making sure that they don't get close enough together to start another fight.

Zoro and Sanji seemed to have calmed down after what had happened in the kitchen and are ignoring each other instead.

Their orange haired owner sighs as she gets back to clearing up the last of the mess with Vivi.

"What should I do with these broken plates Nami?"

"Ah just leave them on the top for now, I'll sort it out later."

Vivi nods in reply and places the last pieces of broken crockery with the rest on the kitchen counter while Nami puts the tablecloth neatly back onto the dining table and puts the chairs back into place.

There's a knock on the back door and Nami looks up to see Luffy standing there on the other side of the glass.

"You can come in now."

At that, Luffy slides the door open and steps inside with Zoro and Sanji following in behind him. Once he's shut the door he glances over to Nami with a grin.

"Shishishishi~ Now that's all sorted we can go and play~"

"No way! Those two are going straight to bed! You can play with Kohza instead in the living room. Zoro and Sanji are staying here."

"Eh! But it's much more fun to play with three puppies!"

"It's their own fault. Just stop whining."

Luffy pouts as he walks out dragging his feet, but his sadness doesn't last long once he goes into the other room and starts playing fetch with Kohza.

Nami wastes no time in sending Zoro and Sanji to their own beds and once they've settled down, she and Vivi join Luffy in the living room.


In the kitchen, Zoro is laying in his bed staring at Sanji's back from across the room. He doesn't understand why the idiot blond is still angry at him. It's not like he purposely tried to bite Vivi. Why can't he just understand that he shouldn't get too close to that beagle puppy? Zoro doesn't trust Law, especially not around Sanji. He has no idea why the blond pup would even want to hang around Law in the first place.

On the other side of the room, Sanji is curled up on his own set of blankets, staring at the back of his bed and refuses to even face in Zoro's direction. He's still mad at Zoro for almost biting Vivi earlier on when they were fighting, even if it was an accident. The green pup should have been able to control himself and not snap at a beautiful lady. Still irritated, Sanji closes his eyes. He doesn't understand why Zoro started that fight today. He was having fun with Law and the other puppies, and the marimo pup just had to go and ruin everything.

Sanji hears the quiet pitter patter of paws which makes him feel angrier at Zoro as the green pup is clearly disobeying their precious Nami-swan's orders to stay in their own bed. He stays as still as possible as he senses an eye stare at his back, and doesn't even flinch as a wet nose nudges him from behind. He won't give in. He can't give in. He's still angry at Zoro and will not share his bed with him this time.

Behind him, the green pup keeps gently nudging Sanji's back with his nose. He can't stand the blond pup ignoring him like this, but what can he do? Apologise? He doesn't even know what for. He didn't bite Vivi. Should he apologise for almost biting her, or for starting the fight in the first place? Maybe both? If anything the blond idiot should be saying sorry to him for ignoring him in the first place to play with that beagle…. Zoro moves closer then gently licks the back of Sanji's ear before nuzzling against him. When he's not warned off with a growl, he climbs over Sanji, getting into the bed, and lays next to him, resting his chin on the blonde's back. When Zoro feels the other pup's tongue lick the back of his ear, he lets himself relax as he falls asleep.


Back in the living room, an hour and a half later, Luffy has fallen asleep on the sofa with Kohza sleeping on his lap. When deciding on a movie to watch and with some prompting from Nami, Vivi had voiced her opinion on picking a romantic comedy. Luffy, on the other hand, was persistent in wanting to watch a horror movie. Nami would have preferred to watch one too, but she could tell by Vivi's reaction from simply mentioning it that she did not like horror movies at all and that she was only agreeing with them in order to be polite. Therefore, Nami took charge and made the final call that Vivi, being the guest, should choose the film, and so they sat down to watch a rom-com together. During the first ten minutes of the film Nami was getting irritated by Luffy's constant whining about how boring the film is. Thankfully that didn't last long as he ended up falling asleep.

Glancing away from the T.V Nami notices that Vivi seems cold as she is rubbing her arms and hands to try and warm up.

"Are you cold Vivi? I could go and fetch us a blanket?"

"E-eh? No I'm fine."

"I'm not," she lies, "It's freezing in here. I won't be a sec."

Nami gets up from her seat then goes out into the hallway and grabs a blanket from the cupboard under the stairs. When she gets back, she hands Vivi the blanket as she has another idea.

"I'm going to have a hot chocolate, would you like one?"

"If you're having one then yes please. Shall I pause the film?"

"No that's ok, I'll be able to hear it from the kitchen," Nami smiles as she goes into the other room.

As she makes her way over to the kitchen counter she glances over to check on the puppies, hoping she hasn't disturbed them as they have been surprisingly quiet this whole time. Her eyes land on the empty bed and for a split second she's fuming at Zoro for disobeying her, until she notices that the green pup is in Sanji's bed. She should still be mad but she cannot help but smile at seeing the two pups curled up together while they sleep.

Happily, and as quietly as she can, Nami makes two mugs of hot chocolate then uses her elbow to turn off the kitchen light before re-joining Vivi back in the living room and settling under the blanket with her. As she is about to take a sip of her hot chocolate she hears a quiet whine.

"No fair… I want some hot chocolate too," Luffy mumbles with his eyes still closed.

"You're dreaming Luffy. Go back to sleep."

Vivi giggles quietly when they hear him snoring once again and she whispers, "that was mean Nami."

"No it wasn't," Nami quietly replies, "It would have been mean if he had made me get back up after I just sat down. I'm not moving from this couch again until this movie is over."

"Good idea," Vivi smiles as she gently leans against Nami and they enjoy their mugs of hot chocolate together.
