A/N: At first I was gonna put it in first person POV, but I've decided to keep it in third, unless later on I decide to change it *again*. But oh well.

If Madness was anything, she was *scared*. One minute she was lounging about in sleeveless brown cowneck sweater, black jeans, and her trademark winter cap checking email and eating popcorn, and the next minute she was sprawled out across a wooden-paneled floor in a completely different time and place.

She pushed herself up from the ground. "Where the heck am I...?"

"Who are you!?"

Madness looked over her shoulder to see the person who was talking, but she never expected who it would be. "Zoro!!!???"

Zoro stared at her for a moment before realizing... "You look familiar. What is your name?"

"Um, Madness." she was still gaping at the fact that the person in front of her was ZORO!

"Heh. So *you're* Madness," Zoro turned around and started to leave, but not before motioning for her to follow him. Madness nodded, and it was then that she realized that she was on the deck of Luffy's ship.

"Oi, Luffy!" Zoro called, "Your date is here!"

Madness blinked in confusion. "Date?"

Zoro heard this and glanced at her. "Isn't that the point of this?"

"I, uh...don't know. How did I get here??"

Zoro shrugged. "Who knows? All *I* know is that you have a date with Luffy, and since we're close to the shore, you two will be able to look around elsewhere. Or whatever."

Madness grinned. "I'm gonna get to see Luffy, huh?"

"...I should hope so..." Zoro shrugged again.

Luffy jumped in front of Madness from out of nowhere and smiled widely at her. "Wow, it worked!"

Madness's jaw dropped. "LUFFY??"

He waved at her. "Yoroshiku!"

She waved back at him cheerfully, but quickly reverted back to her nervous self. "Still, how did I get here? How??"

Luffy put a hand to his chin thoughtfully. "Well...Nami found this weird box that gave us your name and picture. Then it said something about meeting you, so I thought it would be nice."

"Really?!" she clasped her hands together and smiled happily. "That's so sweet! Demo...." she turned away from him, "It's also kinda weird."

Nami, from out of nowhere, decided to put her two cents in. "I don't know how it happened either, but I guess that if you go on a date with Luffy like the box thingy said, maybe you would be able to go back to your home."

"Box thingy?" Madness asked. Nami showed her the box, and Madness laughed.

"Ahahaha! Omigosh! This is a laptop - some weird, future looking version, anyway. I wonder how you guys found something like this......" Madness pressed a few buttons and up came a screen for the Dating Game, "...and this must have been the program that you guys went on. That's strange...."

Zoro scowled. "You're right, but it still doesn't answer *how* it got you here."

"It certainly looks futuristic, even for me," Madness commented, "I guess there's nothing left to do but date Luffy!"

Luffy grinned.

Ussop started to call out to them. "We made it to the shore!"

"Great!" Luffy exclaimed, "Now we can all go get something to ea...." but Nami elbowed him in the ribs. He didn't understand why Nami did that, so he looked at her confusingly. She sighed and pulled him aside to talk to him.

"Luffy, I've been on a date before. So take my advice and go with her somewhere...and I mean, just *you two*. Zoro, Ussop, and I will just wander around for a while to rest a bit."

"Um..." Luffy glanced at Madness, who was busy talking to Zoro about a friend she knows that likes him. In turn, Zoro held back a blush. "Um...where should I go with her, then?"

"I dunno!" Nami said, "Why don't you just take a walk or something? OH! Like the beach! Beaches are romantic!"

"Romantic?"

Nami waved her hand in a 'forget it' fashion, "Or you could just go somewhere to eat. Is there a restaurant in this place?"

"Aren't restaurants...expensive?"

They stared at eachother blankly before Nami responded. "Fine. I'll give you some money, ONLY if you reimburse me later."

Luffy grinned. "Uh-huh."

"Fine, fine. SO...go on before that box thingy takes her back home!" Nami shoved Luffy in Madness's direction. He nodded at her.

Madness was still speaking to Zoro. "Even though she doesn't want to admit it, she thinks you're really cute and cool, too. I know she does." Zoro smirked. The Luffy joined in again.

"Who likes Zoro!?" Luffy poked at Zoro's arm. "Maybe he can date her later!"

Zoro turned away quickly. "..."

Madness clasped her hands together excitedly. "I'm sure this'll be so cool! I mean, it's LUFFY! He's just bursting with cuteness!"

The others blinked. After a few seconds, Madness put a hand over her mouth.

"...did I just say that aloud?"

A/N: Ridiculously enough, I wrote this with a headache. But that didn't stop me, NO! Anyway, chapter 3 will be up soon, I promise. And, uh...I hope to make it longer than this chapter.

Characters may be OOC, but not horribly screwed up. =D
