(A/N- Hi there pplz :) Thanks to Karasu-archer for reviewing... they're the only one who did... I hope cuz I updated a bit late last week... *sweat drop* May all your favorite foods rain upon you, Karasu-archer! Dang these chapters are catching up with me. I need your help- do you want the Strawhats to come and cause chaos at my school? If not, the story will end in, like... idk how many chapters, but soon-ish. Or do you think I should just end the ff "soon-ish" and get on with the next ff in this series? I'm not sure which I should do, so tell me what you think. Ok. Thanks. I hope you like this chapter. I don't own One Piece.)

We Get in Trouble With the Law

Gabby's POV

The other few plays were much better. Alex's Midsummer's Night Dream was great. At the end, we all shuffled out, stiff from sitting so long. We dropped the costumes off in the props room, and I had to drag Emma away from the unicorn suit. Luffy, Robin, Chopper, and Sanji were supposed to meet us right outside.

"Hey, guys!" Chopper bounced up to us as we walked out the door. "What did you think what did you think of the play?"

"It was funny!" Emma grinned.

"Eh? It wasn't supposed to be a comedy..." Chopper said.

"It was very good." I said, smiling.

"But you weren't in it." Saffron frowned.

"No." Chopper slouched. "They couldn't find a place for me."

"Hey, did you guys give Robin something?" Jackie asked. "She didn't seem normal. It was scary."

"That's just the way she acts in plays. Last time she thought it was a musical." Nami explained.

"You should've seen it." Ussop said, laughing.

"I did." Emma muttered. "You weren't much calmer."

Sanji and Robin met up with us on the way out. Sanji kept asking the girls if we enjoyed his performance, and we told him over and over again that we did. We also complimented Robin, who looked rather proud of her melodramatic acting. Halfway to the exit, Zoro stopped.

"Hang on." He looked around.

"What is it?"

"Where's Luffy?"

"..."

I looked around, and sure enough, the captain was no where to be seen.

"He was with us when we came out, wasn't he?" Robin asked Sanji, who nodded.

"Why don't some of you guys head home?" I offered. "I can stay behind and look. You still need to go look for scrap metal, right?"

"Great idea!" Kelly said.

Saffron, Emma, Chopper, and Nami stayed behind with me. I gave Jackie my house key and the rest of the group went to the junkyard.

"Where would Luffy be?" Saffron asked.

"He probably found some food." Nami shrugged.

All the food booths were in one group. We just looked through all the places with meat and it was easy to find Luffy. He was talking to a man working at a meat booth. I didn't even think there were such things.

"Hey Luffy!" Chopper called as we got close.

Luffy looked up. "Oh! Perfect timing, you guys! Got any money?"

"No." I said. "C'mon, you can have some food at my house."

"But I want meat!" He said.

Nami grabbed his hand and started walking, and Saffron, Emma, Chopper, and I followed her. "I'll bet she has meat at her house. Now come on!"

Luffy kept staring at the menu hanging above his head on the wall, trying to decide where to go. He asked the salesman, "How much for-?"

"Luffy," Emma called, "we have to go."

I turned around and realized with horror that Luffy had stayed in the booth. Nami had been holding his hand while we walked away. And Luffy's arm had stretched at least fifteen feet. In full sight of a crowd of people. Not good...

The salesman's jaw dropped. A little boy pulled on his mom's dress and said "Look, mommy! Look at that boy's arm!" The mother looked up and let out a scream that drew everyone's attention.

"Whoops." Saffron muttered.

"Luffy!" Chopper shouted.

"Hm?" Luffy tilted his head. "Oh, yeah... I wasn't supposed to do that, was I?"

"Just... Run!" I said, and spun around to leave.

The others, including Luffy, followed me. We ran through the crowd of people, who let out shouts of anger while we pushed through them.

"Why are we running?" Saffron asked.

Emma shrugged. "I don't know!"

"Better safe then sorry!" I said.

I could see the exit clearly now. However, right in the middle of it, Alex and Maddie were standing there, talking. And as if it weren't already bad enough, Maddie saw us and waved.

"You guys showed up!" She called, smiling. "Too bad I didn't see you earlier!"

"Crap." Emma said. "I totally forgot she was going to be here with everything that happened today."

"Friends of yours?" Nami asked.

"Yeah." Saffron nodded. "Can we slow down for just a sec? We can't run all night."

I looked behind me and almost tripped in surprise. I could see a group of people running towards us. I didn't stop to find out who they were, or why a few of them were in police uniforms.

"Why the hell are you chasing us?" I screamed at them.

Alex took a step back. "Hey, what's going on?"

We sped straight past the two girls, and I called back, "I have no freaking idea! Sorry! Can't talk! Call you later! Bye!"

We turned a corner and raced down the street. The shouts of the group chasing us got farther and farther away. At a stop light, we finally slowed down and collapsed.

Luffy laughed. "Sorry about that. But it was kinda fun, right?"

"But was it... really necessary?" Chopper asked between breaths.

"There were policemen chasing us." I said.

"What? Why?" Saffron was suddenly scared. "I didn't do anything! I never stole anything!"

Emma pressed the button to walk. "I'm thinking that they saw us running like crazy people and thought we did something wrong. We did plow straight through all those people."

"Why?" Nami asked. "What's so bad about policemen?"

"They're like Marines in this world." Emma explained.

"Marines on land." I said.

"Will they throw us in jail if they catch us?" Chopper asked.

"Not unless you steal or break something." Saffron said.

The light turned and we walked across the street. We all tried to walk around Chopper to hide him from the cars. It would be even more of a problem if one of the drivers asked why we had a weird raccoon/deer/who-knows-what thing. The walk home was easier, but I jumped at every siren I heard.

Jackie's POV

The junkyard was even spookier then I thought. I had only seen it from a distance, and that was during the day. In fact, I had never been out walking around town like this at night before. My parents would kill me if they found out where I was. The junkyard was just rows and piles of scrap metal and old cars. Even in the moonlight, it was hard to see. I could make out hills of old, rusting cars and piles of car parts. We had to crawl over the chain link fence to get in.

"This can't be legal." Kelly said nervously as she jumped to the ground.

"It's not." I muttered, equally nervous.

"Let's just get the stuff we need and get out." Ussop said.

"I hope they don't keep any guard dogs in here." Robin said. "I hear those things can be very vicious."

I shivered and concentrated on being as quiet as possible. Everyone split up and tried to find suitable pieces of metal. I went along with Zoro.

I squeezed in between two old, rusted cars and stepped over a tire that was buried halfway into the ground. "Just look for something that isn't rusted or too old." After a few minutes of searching, we found a big old U-haul truck.

"This seems good." Zoro said. He knocked on the metal. "Not that old, either."

"Should we... tear it open or something then?" I asked. I looked at him as I heard the clink of metal. Zoro had taken out two of his swords. "Ah! W-wait! Geez!" I dove to the front of the truck and hid until I heard the metal crash to the ground. I peeked out. The entire trailer had been cut into thirds. Zoro calmly put his swords away and started bending the metal up so we could carry it. When we were done, all that was left of the truck was four tires, the bottom of the trailer, and the motor. We even took some wires.

The people who work here are gonna be soooo ticked off tomorrow morning... I thought, and hefted a piece of metal up on my shoulder. I'm glad they don't have surveillance cameras...

Kelly's POV

I went with Ussop to go find scrap metal.

"These places don't have guard dogs, right?" Ussop asked.

"I sure hope not. I've only heard about them on TV." I said.

We walked along path lined with ancient cars. Most of them were too old and rusted to use. The wind whistled through the hollowed out skeletons of cars, making a spooky tune that made me shiver. I heard a yell and a crash that made me jump.

Finally, Ussop spotted the perfect car to use. The only problem was that it was on the top of a pile of automobiles. Ussop had to stand on my shoulders to reach it. He helped me up, and it still took a while to climb up to the top. We finally managed to get up on top of the hood. I could see the entire junkyard from here. Luckily, there were no lights on anywhere, which meant there was no one working there, either employee or guard. I could also see Sanji, Robin, and Franky. They were jumping from stack to stack of cars and easily climbing over each mound of scrap metal.

"Showoffs." We both said at the same time.

We got all the parts we could pull off and then started the long accent down. Long story short, it involved multiple slips, some screaming, and me regretting not taking that lesson at the rock climbing place last summer. We went back to the meeting place and dumped the metal on the ground.

"How are we going to carry this all the way back to Gabby's house?" Ussop asked.

I sighed. "Well, we'll have to go another way, we can't have anyone see us with all this stuff. But then there's the matter of carrying it. Just imagine how much the others got."

Just as I said that, Jackie and Zoro walked around the corner. Jackie was carrying a fair amount, but Zoro... He might as well have been carrying a bus. He had a mountain of scraps, and we still had the other threes' haul.

"What, did you take the entire car or something?" Ussop asked, looking at Zoro.

"A truck, actually." Jackie said. "But we didn't take the entire thing, only the trailer."

Sanji, Robin, and Franky brought in an even bigger pile of metal. I just stopped trying to decide if those guys were even human.

Zoro and Sanji eyed each others piles, trying to see who's was bigger.

"But now how will we get it all back?" Robin asked.
