Chapt. 56: Luffy's Pestering, The Waffle Returns, and Time For Some Payback
"Shadow distract me," I pleaded, as Chopper got a needle out of his medical bag, sitting in a chair, putting my arm onto it, and looking in the other direction, "You know how I…OWWW!"
"Done," Chopper smiled at me, patting my shoulders, as he placed the needle into its proper disposal container, walking over to Nami and drawing her blood next, "I'm going to start on the tests to see if the bacteria is gone or not."
"I know you had to draw our blood for that Chopper," I pouted, as he stuck a Band-Aid on where he draw my blood, "But I still detest being poked and prodded by sharp metal death jabbers."
"Death jabbers?" Shadow sweatdropped, lifting an eyebrow over at me, "How in the world can needles kill someone?"
"Easy," I stated, looking childish-serious, "Someone can jab a needle into you and inject a deadly substance inside you."
"Umm…Ivy," Nami pointed out, a sweatdrop on her head, "Technically, that would be what's inside the needle not the needle itself."
"Same difference to me," I muttered, crossing my arms, lying farther down in the chair, "They still hurt when it pierces your skin."
"There, there," Chopper smiled, patting my shoulder, handing out a sucker to me, "Here have a sucker, that will make you feel better."
"I don't want a stupid sucker," I sniffed, grabbing the sucker, taking the wrapper off the sucker, and placing it in my mouth, "Orange my favorite."
And yet, she still took it, Shadow and Nami thought, a sweatdrop on their heads as they watched me eat my sucker.
"See, you're feeling better already," Chopper declared happily, walking out of the room, carrying the vials of blood with him, "I'm going to go and the tests, so I'll be back once I get both of your results back."
"Oh that's right, I almost forgot," Nami smirked over at me, a gleam in her eye, "What was that dream about?"
"Dream?" Shadow repeated, a confused look on her face, "What are you talking about Nami?"
"When little miss Ivy woke up from being unconscious due to us being sick," Nami smirked deeper, "She muttered something about why having that dream."
"That dream?" Shadow repeated scrunching her eyebrows together in confusion, only to smirk widely when she realized what that meant, "You had a sex dream didn't you?"
"She totally did, look at her face," Nami laughed, "And I bet I know who it was too."
"S-S-SHUT UP!" I sputtered, my face bright red, "It's embarrassing enough the way it is."
PEDI-PEDI-PEDI-CLICK
"Speaking of which," Shadow snorted, glancing at my transponder snail, then glancing at me with smirk, "That's probably him now."
"I hate you both," I glared at the two of them, picking up the transponder snail, and walking out the door into the hallway, "Hello?"
"Ivy, you're ok," Ace sighed in relief, only to narrow his eyes, "Why are you up out of bed when you should be resting?"
"Doctor Kureha said I could," I defended, talking into the transponder snail, "Besides, I'm feeling much better and I'd be bored out of my mind sitting in bed."
"Yeah, you never were the type to sit still in one place for long periods of time," Ace chuckled, before once again narrowing his eyes through the transponder snail, "What in the world were you guys doing that you and the other crewmember to end up with Kestia anyways?"
"Umm…" I tilted my head sideways, beads of sweat appearing on my forehead, "You know that prehistoric island that's named Little Garden right?"
"Uh-Huh," Ace nodded slowly, "But wha…don't tell me that you two walked around that island without shirts on?"
"No, we didn't…at least we never intended to," I explained, "Let's just say there was this evil man that had wax-devil fruit powers who was going to turn me, Nami, Zoro, and this other girl that we're bringing to Alabasta, into wax statues and the only way to free us from the wax covering us was by lighting us on fire, so that's how me and Nami had no shirts on."
"Go back a sec," Ace directed over the transponder snail, "Why did a guy with wax Devil Fruit powers tried to turn the four of you into wax statues?"
"That has something to do with the girl we're taking to Alabasta," I answered through the transponder snail, "She's from Alabasta and she is being chased by this bad guy, who's trying to take over Alabasta."
"So the usual then?" Ace laughed through the transponder snail, "I'm going to go on a whim here and say that this bad guy sent that wax guy after you guys in order to kill this girl right?"
"Wow impressive," I commented, "This girl is the princess of Alabasta, so we're taking her to Alabasta and of course Luffy wants to kick this bad guy's ass."
"Not surprising," Ace smirked, "Once Luffy gets something stuck in his brain there's no changing it."
"Like you're one to talk," I scoffed, rolling my eyes, "You may be smart, Flame-Brain, but when you get into one of your stubborn moods, you tend to forget to use that brain of yours."
"The same could be said about you," Ace countered, only to smile, "The three of us will meet you guys back in Alabasta then."
"Three of you?," I frowned, thinking who was with him, then smirked into the transponder snail as I figure out who was with Ace, "Are you with Thatch and Macro then?"
"Yup," Ace smirked, handing the transponder snail over to Marco, "I'm going to hand the snail over to our favorite flying-pineapple, since I know you want to speak to them."
"Thanks Ace," I thanked, hearing the snail be handed over and I could hear Ace in the background saying that hurt you stupid flying-pineapple-bird, "What up my favorite Flying-Pineapple-Bird?"
"I'm so going to kill you, you damn Flame-Head," Marco warned towards Ace, "You better not start that either, Ivy."
"Start what Marco?" I said sweetly, biting my lip from laughing, "Oh do you mean don't start this: Oh Great Old Wise Flying Pineapple, we bow before you in search of your guidance."
"SHUT UP YOU TWO!" Marco bared his teeth at Ace and Thatch who were bursting out laughing upon hearing me talk, "Thanks Ivy, thanks a lot, now they're going to be saying that the whole time that we're traveling."
"Your welcome, that's my goal in life, to annoy the hell out of as many people as I can," I spoke with a serious face into the transponder snail before bursting out laughing, "Mission success."
"No wonder I have a high blood pressure and headaches all the time," Marco grumbled, handing the transponder snail over to Thatch, "I'm putting Idiot #1 on the transponder snail now."
"HEY WHY ISN'T ACE IDIOT #1?" Thatch glared over at Marco, before smirking into the transponder snail, "You are the master when it comes to pulling pranks, sister."
"Well, I did learn from the best, bro," I smirked through the transponder snail, "How's Ace been Thatch?"
"True, nobody can pull a prank off better than me," Thatch smirked, "He's doing fine, we've been keeping an eye on him. More importantly, how are you doing?"
"I'm doing great now," I assured through the transponder snail, "I'm sorry that I went and worried you all."
"Stop that, it's not your fault that you got sick," Thatch reprimanded, hanging up the transponder snail, "We'll meet you guys back in Alabasta then."
"Right, I look forward to seeing you guys again," I smiled, hanging up the transponder snail, hearing loud noises coming from outside, "What is terror is Luffy causing this time?"
"Day 3," Chopper noted, looking at the blood samples that he took from Nami and me, "The subjects' bacteria count has gone down by 70%"
"Whatcha doing?" Luffy grinned, looking over Chopper's shoulder and glancing down at the blood, "Ooh, it looks fancy."
"GYAAAA!" Chopper shrilled, crashing into the medical equipment, catching the vials of blood and other things he needed before it crashed to the ground, catching two vials with both of his feet (one on each foot), two vials with his hands (one in each hand), and a few on his head, "DON'T SNEAK UP ON PEOPLE UNLESS YOU WANT TO GIVE THEM A HEARTATTACK!"
"Nice save, you really are amazing monster," Luffy clapped, grinning when he thought of something, walking over to Chopper with a mischievous grin on his face, reaching out his hands towards Chopper, and tickling him, "But what will happen if I do…THIS!"
"KN…KNOCK..HAHA…THAT…HAHAHA…OFF…HAHAHAHA…," Chopper wheezed through snorts of laughter, trying not to laugh otherwise he would break the vials, glaring up at Luffy when Luffy stopped tickling him, "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!"
"HAHAHAHA! You're hilarious," Luffy laughed loudly, grinning at Chopper, "That was funny."
"SHUT UP!" Chopper frowned over at Luffy, setting the medical stuff down, "Now get out of here before you break something."
"Aww, but I want to be friends with you," Luffy pouted, then grinning at Chopper, "I really, really like you, you know."
"Eh," Chopper faltered, glancing up at Luffy with wide eyes, "Y-y-you…you like me?"
"Yup, you're super amazing, Shi, Shi, Shi," Luffy grinned, laughing down at Chopper, "You'd make a great pirate, so join my crew."
"ARE YOU CRAZY?!" Chopper shrieked, banging into a cabinet, "I CAN'T BE A PIRATE WITH YOU!"
"Why not?" Luffy puzzled, tilting his head in confusion, "Look little guy, you've got to be my friend and I knew that my crew is going to love you."
"DID YOU SLIP AND HIT YOUR HEAD ON THE ICE OR SOMETHING?!" Chopper yelled, crashing out into the hallway, falling down the stairs, "I TOLD YOU THAT I DON'T WANT TO BE YOUR FRIEND OR A PIRATE!"
"Shi, Shi, Shi," Luffy laughed, glancing down at Chopper from the top of the stairs, "I think you're the funniest guy I know. Oh yeah, we're going to be great friends."

"Man, I can't find that baka anywhere," I frowned, walking around the castle, sighing in defeat and going back towards where Nami is, smelling some yummy food coming from where Nami is, sprinting towards where Nami is, "Sanji must be cooking."
"Looks like Red is back," Kureha smirked, glancing her head up upon hearing me barge through the door, "Have fun on your walk, Missy."
"Yup, I found Wapol's treasure room, took the treasure if that's all right with you," I smirked over at Kureha, sitting down at the table, calling out to Sanji, "Sanji, that's smells good."
"Ahh, that's what those bags are," Kureha smirked, nodding her head in approval, "I hate that tin bastard, so go ahead and take all of his treasure with you."
"Seriously?" Nami snapped her head up, Berri signs as her eyes, turning towards me, "Ivy, did you make sure to bag every single piece of that treasure?"
"Already taken care of, Nami," I smirked, picking up my silverware upon seeing Sanji come out of the kitchen carrying our food, and biting into my food when he placed it in front of me, "Superb as always Sanji."
"Thank you Ivy-Chawn," Sanji gushed, his heart-mode activated, setting food down in front of Nami, "Here you go Nami-Swan, oh and don't worry, Madam I made…"
"I'M NOT A MADAM, I'M STILL IN MY PRIME OF YOUTH, THANK YOU!" Kureha cut Sanji off, by sending him flying into the wall with a kick.
"I could've told him that was going to happen," I sweatdropped, feeling Shadow come up onto my shoulders, "Hey Shadow, were you worried about me?"
"Yes I was very much young lady," Shadow glared at me, tapping my nose with her paw, "You ever do something like that again…"
"I'm sorry, Shadow," I smiled over at her, scratching her behind the ear, and giving her a piece of my food, "Here try some of this Shadow."
"Hey Red," Kureha called over to me, staring at Shadow and me, "I've been wondering about that fluffball on your shoulders."
"Huh," I blinked, glancing over at her, "Is it about how she can talk?"
"Nah, that doesn't surprise me since I know my little Chopper can walk and talk," Kureha smirked, dismissing the thing about Shadow being able to talk, taking a swig of her plum wine, "I remember visiting a clan a long time ago that had dragons and you remind me of someone I meet there."
"Really?" I grinned, looking up from eating, "You must mean the Danico clan right?"
"Yeah, with that cat of yours sitting on your shoulder it reminded me a lot of that clan," Kureha nodded, taking a swig of her wine, "Where did you get Shadow."
"Actually, I'm from the Danico Clan," I grinned over at Kureha, "And Shadow has always been by my side."
"T-t-that's impossible," Kureha stammered, spitting her wine, glancing at me, then her lips curled up in a small smirk, "Now I can see why you remind me of someone from there. You look a lot like Dawn and Ryu."
"Those are my parents," I smiled, stroking Shadow, "I used to live in this other world with my parents and brother, but then I came back to this world where I learned that I'm actually from here."
"So that means the only ones that are left from that clan are you, your brother, and your mom right?" Kureha observed, "What about your dad?"
"I don't know if my dad is still alive or not," I admitted, stroking Shadow, "And I haven't heard about my mom either. Last time I knew, she was still in the "normal" world, but it's been years since then so I'm not sure."
"DOCTOR RENE!" Chopper shouted, zooming into the room with Luffy right on his heels, "TELL HIM TO STOP BUGGING ME!"
"WAIT HOLD ON!" Luffy grinned, chasing Chopper around Doctor Kureha, "COME BACK!"
"I'm afraid to even ask." Shadow sweatdropped, watching the scene.
"Luffy just stop pestering the poor kid," I frowned, continuing to eat my food, "Let him be."
"Luffy, what in the world are you doing?" Nami inquired, raising an eyebrow at him, pausing in eating her food.
"I'm not pestering the little guy, Ivy you meanie," Luffy glared at me, "He's going to join our crew and be our friend."
10000 Berries says that Chopper never said that, Shadow and I thought, sweatdropping as we watched Luffy chasing Chopper.
"Did he really say that?" Nami smiled, clapping her hands once, turning towards Chopper, "That's great, Chopper."
"NO, I'M NOT," Chopper objected, glancing over at us from behind Kureha's legs, "I NEVER EVEN SAID THAT IN THE FIRST PLACE!"
Yup, though as much, Shadow and I thought, the sweatdrops on our heads growing bigger.
"Yes you did say that." Luffy grinned, glancing at Chopper.
"I did not say that," Chopper denied, frowning at Luffy, "You only said that."
"Did too." Luffy countered.
"Did not." Chopper bickered.
"Did too." Luffy grinned.
"Did not." Chopper argued.
"Did." Luffy grinned, staring at Chopper.
"Not." Chopper glared at Luffy.
"Did." Luffy grinned, following Chopper as he ran off.
"I DID NOT!" Chopper shouted, running out of the room with Luffy on his heel, "JEEZ YOU'RE SO ANNOYING! WHY CAN'T YOU JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!"
"Umm…" Nami blinked rapidly, turning towards me with raised eyebrows, "Did Luffy seriously have that type of argument?"
"Uh-Huh," I nodded, sweatdropping as we watched the two of them with sweatdrops on our heads, and continuing back to eating our food, "That just proves how childish he is."
"You're one to talk," Shadow scoffed, glancing at me with a raised eyebrow, "I know for a fact that you and your boyfriend have those types of arguments all the time."
"Friend huh?" Kureha muttered sadly, taking a swig of her wine, "If only he knew what that word means to someone who went through what Chopper has."
(*********************************************************)
"HEY REINDEER, JOIN US AND BE OUR FRIEND!" Luffy grinned, walking into a room, seeing a plate full of food, started to eat all the food (he even ate the plate), "Yum food."
This guy is a pirate? He sure doesn't act like one, Chopper thought, watching Luffy take out the plate from his mouth, walking slowly out into the open, "Hey, so are you really a pirate?"
"Of course I'm a pirate," Luffy grinned, turning towards Chopper, "My crew and I do all kinds of fun stuff, like fishing and singing."
"Huh," Chopper blinked up at Luffy, "Pirates…sing?"
"Sure we do," Luffy grinned, telling Chopper all the amazing things that pirates do, "We sometimes even dance too."
"You call that being a pirate?" Chopper voiced with skepticism, "I thought pirates find buried treasure and fight."
"Well, we also do that too," Luffy grinned, "Being a pirate is so much fun, we get to go on these amazing adventures and meet the most amazing people."
"You guys seriously do stuff like that?" Chopper awed, glancing up at Luffy with wide curious eyes and a smile on his face, "For real?"
"We go to so many weird and incredible islands," Luffy grinned, "We also meet some pretty funny and weird people too."
"That's so awesome," Chopper exclaimed in awe, "But I can't be a pirate."
"Oh come on, why not?" Luffy pouted, chasing after Chopper, who had started running away, "IT'LL BE LOADS OF FUN!"
"I SAID NO," Chopper shouted, locking Luffy inside a cage, holding the key in his hand, "There now you can't pester me anymore."
"What's the big idea?" Luffy frowned, putting his face up next to the bars, "I just wanted you to join us."
"That's exactly what I mean by pestering," Chopper bared his teeth at Luffy, walking away, only to see that the keys weren't in his hands, "Now stay there and be quiet, man what was his problem…huh?"
"Heh, Heh," Luffy laughed behind Chopper, a creepy look on his face, "NOW COME BACK HERE!"
"GYAAAAA!" Chopper wailed, running away from Luffy as Luffy started chasing him again, only to stop as a flight of stairs came up ahead and Luffy crashed into the wall, "WHAT'S WITH THIS GUY AND HOW IN THE HECK DID HE STEAL THE KEY!"
"BE MY FRIEND ALREADY! WAIT, WAIT, WAIT!" Luffy chanted, trying to stop from crashing into the wall, but he crashed into the wall anyway.
"Eh, this scent…" Chopper muttered, sniffing the air with his nose, widening his eyes with panic upon realizing what he smelled, speeding away towards Doctor Kureha, "HE'S BACK, WAPOL'S HERE!"
"Wait deer come back," Luffy shouted, running after Chopper, only to skid to a halt upon hearing a familiar annoying person talking, and running to where the voice was, with a pissed off look on his face, "It's the guy with the annoying mouth."
