Sanji taps the red phone symbol to end the call. He smiles as he looks over to an equally as eager Megumi. Zoro's surprise birthday party is ready to set up. Everything is bought, Robin is holding all the ingredients so Zoro wouldn't find them. Everyone has their presents wrapped, all that's left is to see what Zoro is doing tomorrow, if he's doing anything. That's where Sanji and Megumi come in. It's their job to find out if he has anything planned, if not text them so they can all do something to keep him occupied for most of the day.

"Are you excited?" Sanji asks Megumi. She nods. As fun as it is to have a surprise party it's a lot more fun to plan one. Plus it's a way to give something to her mom, he's done everything for her and she knows it. With the way he always worked at night. How he always bought her clothes and toys, took her to see her movies, or even the way they planned to go out to aquariums and amusement parks, or even the zoo. She knows he never thinks about himself and always about her that's why she's glad to do this.

Sanji looks to Megumi, she is really excited and so is he. Everyone has come to the sad reality that they've never celebrated Zoro's birthday which sucks because he was always invited to theirs. That also opened a can of worms with the group now that they knew he's an orphan. He never had that and it almost felt like they were rubbing it in Zoro's face that they had a family to celebrate and he didn't. What did he even do on his birthday? Is that why he doesn't like sweet things? It reminds him of something he didn't have. They also felt bad because out of everyone in the group Zoro is the one that was left behind in more than one way. Everyone had gotten adopted, Nami, Sanji, Robin, Franky, and Chopper. Zoro didn't and that made this party even more important when they thought about it. To think Zoro who probably never got a proper birthday party celebrated his daughter's.

Megumi and Sanji turn towards each other when the sound of the door opening is heard. Time to start. They stood up and walked to the door to see Zoro is really happy.

"Something good happen?" Sanjj asks looking as Zoro grin from one ear to the other. Zoro took his shoes off and set them down walking in.

"Its late." He says.

"Its Saturday." Sanji counters. Zoro can't argue with that.

"I passed the driver's test." Zoro says grinning like Megumi does when she's really happy. "I'll have to thank Franky and Usopp tomorrow."

"Speaking of," Megumi held on to Sanji's pants. She just wanted to blurt it out. She's never kept something hidden from Zoro before. Zoro raised her to always tell the truth. "What are you doing tomorrow?"

"Actually I need to go to a doctor's appointment tomorrow, Franky and Usopp asked me the same thing? Is something going on tomorrow?" Zoro walks further into the apartment.

"How long is the appointment?" Sanji asks as he follows Zoro into the living room.

"It's just a yearly physical." Zoro looks at him. He raises an eyebrow, "why?"

"I was planning on doing something with Megumi, just us, I wasn't sure if you would allow me to take her somewhere." Sanji says. Zoro looks at him but sighs. He takes his jacket off and sets it down.

"Alright, but you don't really need my permission. It's actually a good idea."

"Alright, when's the appointment? Maybe I can drop you off before we leave?"

"I plan to leave after breakfast so I can be on time."

"Alright, let's get dinner ready then." Sanji goes to the kitchen to start dinner. Megumi stands there smiling up at Zoro.

"What's wrong Megumi?" Zoro sits on the couch as he watch Megumi join him.

"If you could have anything in the world, what would it be?"

"Nothing, I have everything." Zoro pulls Megumi close, giving her a hug and a quick kiss on the head.


Sanji lays in his bed looking at his digital clock. As soon as it struck 4 o' clock he smiles and gets out of bed. He goes into his closet and rummages around a little as he find his gift for Zoro. He takes it and some wrapping paper. With those in hand he quietly open the door and peaks around. Hopefully Zoro isn't a wake yet, he shouldn't be, he's never up this early. He walks to Megumi's room closing the door behind him. He turns the lamp by her bed on and gently wakes her up. She scrunches up her face. He shakes her again only for her to turn her head. He smiles, she can be such a hard head if she hasn't gotten enough sleep. He shakes her again, "Megumi," he teases, "don't you want to help me wrap mommy's present?" He asks.

Her eyes snap open, she sits up and looks at Sanji. "It's time?" She asks him. He nods. She hurries off the bed and goes to her little tea party table. She moves Hopper, Chopper, Kenchi and Gideon, her stuff animals, out of their seats and onto her bed to let Sanji have a seat. He set down the wrapping paper and gift.

Sanji helps her wrap the present, she even added two ribbons, one black and another white, to the green wrapping paper. They both got a card to write on. Sanji got a hole puncher to punch a hole in both cards before adding it to the present. They then cleaned up, Megumi putting her animals back in their seat. "You can go back to sleep if you want to." Sanji says. It's still early.

"What are you going to do?" She asks, getting back to her bed. She settles in, looking like she hasn't just woke up from sleep.

"I'm going to hide the present and wait to make breakfast." Sanji smiles at her. She nods with a smile. Sanji leaves, not closing her door all the way. He goes to his room to hide the gift. He looks at his clock to see it's not all that early or late in the morning. He lays in bed thinking about what's to come. What could go wrong? What does he need to look out for? What's the best way to make Zoro's surprise birthday party go right?

Sanji looks at the clock and sees that it's time to start cooking. So he gets up and gets dressed.
