Well here is the second chapter of the story. Originally I had wanted to make this a multichapter story, but then I as wrote the first chapter, I thought it would turn into a one shot. But due to everyone's responses, I decided to try and write some more. And as always I only pretend to be Oda, I am not really him.

Shouts and pounding of feet rescued Chopper from his own mind. He listened carefully to discern what was causing the commotion. The jerking of the vessel as the ship lay anchor was the telltale sign that they had landed at a new Island.
"Meat!' Luffy's overeager shouts broke the not so silent silence. The chibi doctor couldn't help but smile as he clicked back to the deck. From the cloud of dust billowing through the town, Chopper had no doubt, the direction in which the childish pirate had run off in pursuit of his ever so precious meat. Today was a day for reminiscing for Chopper once again found his mind wandering. This time to the past, and this he couldn't help but grimace at. Luffy had tried to eat him, the first time they met. He shuddered at the memory of being chased through the frozen castle as both Sanji and Luffy drooled over him. But that was all in the past. They saw him as a doctor and nakama now. He was not just an emergency supply of food. Right?
"Doctor.." His musings once again cut abruptly. This time by the ship's mysterious crewmate-Nico Robin. What exactly was her position on this ship? Luffy was the captain, Zoro the first mate and world class swordsman. Nami, the beautiful navigator. Sanji, the lovesick cook. Usopp the liar and sharpshooter. He was the doctor…but Robin was? Perhaps she was using the crew to her own advantages, prostituting them to meet her own twisted ending. But then again, that is exactly what the rest of the crew was doing. They were using each other to meet their own goals. Still…why had she wanted to join the crew? Luffy hadn't even invited her, she had invited to herself.
"Doctor?" The third interruption passed to him as more of a question. He shook himself free of the poisoning grasp of his wandering mind.
"Hai?" He questioned the dark haired archeaologist. She smiled and bent down to look him in the eye.
"May, I accompany you to get supplies?" The reindeer grinned and nodded at her. Even if he had said no, she probably would have tickled him with her veinte fleur until he said yes. She was cunning, this one.
An hour later they were to be found themselves in an apothecary shop. Chopper wandered around the shop, eyeing each concoction and potion carefully. Every once in awhile, he would pick one up, sniff it and inspect it closer. Perhaps, if it met his approval, he would drop it in the basket he was carrying. Meanwhile, Robin stood near the counter, lazily flipping through a book on Herbal Medicine. Humming silently to herself. Minutes later, Chopper joined her, buying the much needed supplies. As they left the shop, Chopper fiddled with his sack, his mind churning.
"Ano…Robin?" The little one said more to himself that to the eldest crew member.
"Hmm?"
"N…n…nnn…nothing" He stammered at her. The elder one raised an eyebrow at the youngest crewmate. Chopper just shook his head and shrugged. He felt silly asking about love, when love was so obviously out of his reach.
"You know doctor. They say there is someone out there for everyone."
The monster could only stare at her.

Sorry this is so short. It is extremely hard to write a Chopper fic, especially a love fic. So most of the chapters will probably be short, more drabble like. Forgive. And now Ladies and gentlemen,it is time for review responses cues music
Wolfie: Heeehee I think you have read all of my stories. I am glad you are a fan. I am a fan of yours too. And I love to see a following.
Vulpixi: Sorry I made you cry! I was just thinking about Chopper and love one day, while reading some fanfics. I know some people want to put Robin and Chopper together. But I could help but think of two things. 1. He is primarily a reindeer and 2. He is still very much a child. SoI decided to write a fic based on him being a monster. And I am glad you will love Chopper.
