Chapter Ten: Lasting Goodbyes And Cookies

Disclaimer: I don't own One Piece. Oda-chan does. I do own Arijii Hikara, the Juuhachi Juuhachi Fruit and the Hachi Hachi Fruit and Victoria aka Victory.

Review time!

Iwin Ulose- You still thought it was funny? I didn't. Oh, and thanks for the praise. BTW, your penname is still cool :D

Darkest of Nights- You know what's going on? Good to hear. Yes, very sad that her parents died. I'm glad Ari-chan didn't name her doll Princess Zoro the Second too. Zoro would have died...yay Victoria!

Inumaru12- I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you cry :( Oh, and I hope Ari-chan finds that fruit too!

Uhhh that's it for reviews. Now, on with the story!

"I'm bored!" Arijii told everyone.

"Go do something. Or leave," Zoro said.

"'kay Zoro-kun!" Arijii skipped away.

"She just called you Zoro-kun! I knew it!" Usopp said.

"Knew what?" Zoro asked.

"Remember when I was about to say something about Arijii before she committed murder on my ears?" Usopp said.

"Yes, why?" Zoro said.

"I was going to say Arijii has a crush…on you!" Usopp pointed to Zoro.

Zoro dropped his jaw.

"Hi Zoro! Is it National Look Like A Fish Day?" Luffy walked in.

"Zoro was hit with the truth," Usopp said.

"What was it?" Luffy asked.

"Remember that night when Arijii committed murder on our ears? I was going to say something about Arijii. I remember what it was! Arijii has a crush on Zoro!" Usopp explained.

"Are you lying again Usopp?" Luffy suspiciously asked.

"No really, it is true! I figured it out!" Usopp boasted.

Zoro still had his jaw open.

"Why's the crap-swordsman look like a dead fish?" Sanji noticed the swordsman.

"I don't know!" Luffy said.

"I just told you! It's because Arijii has a crush on Zoro!" Usopp yelled.

Silence.

Zoro's mouth was still open.

"You better close it, Zoro. You're catching flies," Sanji said, lighting a cigarette.

He closed it.

"You're saying that…THING…likes me!" Zoro shouted at Usopp.

"Yeah."

"Why me? Why me?" Zoro mumbled.

"Hiya guys! Hi Zoro!" Arijii skipped in with Victory.

"Arijii…" Zoro clenched his hands.

"Yes? I didn't do it, I swear! It was Victoria!" She pointed to her doll.

"…You…like me?"

Arijii started to sweat.

"Ehhhhh….Victory! I knew it! You were conspiring against me! I should have known…." She eyed her doll. It kept on smiling.

"Stop smiling!"

She turned around.

"Who told you? Uh, I mean, I don't like you, Zoro-kun!" Arijii said.

Silence.

"Stop smiling!" Arijii yelled at Victory.

More silence.

"I…I want to leave," Arijii turned away, "I made up my mind."

"Where are you going to go?" Luffy asked.

Arijii grinned.

"To find the Juuhachi Juuhachi Fruit, and go back home to Air Atoll. I would have accepted your offer, Luffy, but I need to do this first," Arijii said.

"Who's going to eat my clam chowder?" Sanji said.

"You can shove it down Zoro-kun's throat!" Arijii said.

"I'll keep that in mind," Sanji smiled, then looked at Zoro.

"You better not, crap-cook," Zoro glared.

"I…had fun. Now…give me a cookie!" Arijii said.

"Here," Nami gave her a chocolate chip cookie.

"Thanks, Nami!"

"Who's going to annoy the heck out of Zoro and make him a laughing stock?" Usopp asked.

"You can do that, Usopp," Arijii said while eating her cookie.

"I…need to go," Arijii sighed.

"About time," Nami mumbled.

"Nami!" Arijii said.

"Just kidding! Sheesh," Nami said.

Arijii gathered her stuff that included Victoria, some cookies and a drawing of everybody that she had done.

"For an eight year old, that drawing is horrible. Even Luffy could have done better than that," Zoro commented.

Arijii glared.

"Will we see you again?" Luffy asked.

Arijii laughed.

"Of course we will. We'll cross paths someday. And before I go," Arijii turned to Zoro.

"Lighten up, Grumpy Pants," Arijii said.

Zoro rolled his eyes.

"Hachi Hachi Fly!" Arijii set off, and yelling in the distance,

"YOU GUYS STILL OWE ME ANOTHER COOKIE!"

"She's really gone…" Usopp said.

"I'm going to take a nap," Zoro said.

"ZORO!" Everyone shouted at him.

Sadly, that was the last chapter. Waaaaaaah, I enjoyed writing this SO MUCH!

Hey, I was wondering, you guys want a sequel to this? I'm open to any ideas. You can email me or just leave it in your review, it doesn't matter, I just want to hear (and see) your opinion!

Until next time (or when I pop up randomly and try to own One Piece)
