Sorry for the wait. Here is the newest chapter in my angsty Chopper fic. And as requested it is more light hearted. Honestly I don't think I am that good of a comic writer, so it probably really is not very funny. eh oh well, you will all get over it soon enough.

To warn you all,I will be really slow in my updates here for a couple months now. I am working on cosplay outfits for ACEN. And I have three and a half costumes to finish up. Maybe four if I can convince my boyfriend to cosplay as Sanji there.

Anywho, on with the chapter. (I do(I think) know how I want to end this and how the next chapter will be written. So (cross your fingers) I might have this fiction finished in time for Christmas.)

Christmas was in one week. The ship was decked out in mistle toe, garland and holly. The captain was decked out in bells. Bells that he made sure to jingle at every moment he could. Absentmindedly Chopper handed Nami decorations for her tangerine trees. Not being near any islands that grew evergreens, the straw hat crew improvised. It had now been well over a month since he had gone to Sanji for advice and still he had not made a move. He had tried of course to, but every time he did, he would shake and stutter. Christmas, however, was approaching quickly. And he so desperately wanted to do something special for Christmas. Reds, greens and blues all ran together as his mind wandered back to that day.

Flashback

"My soufflé!" the cooked moaned as he stared at the deflated dish. He turned a murderous gaze to the culprit. Chopper stood frozen in place. He shook at every inch of his body. Had Sanji ever looked this scary? Perhaps asking Sanji for advice wasn't such a good idea. After all Sanji had been for some time now attempting to swoon the two females of the crew and he still had neither one of them in his bed er hammock. Besides that fact, if Chopper were to tell Sanji that he was trying to win Robin's affections, he might give him bad advice. Advice that would make Robin throw him overboard into the water. And he couldn't swim. This thought bothered the littlest crew member and soon he was clutching his head and running in circles screaming.

Sanji sat down at the table, lighting a cigarette. He took a few drags letting the soothing nicotine work its calming effects.

"Chopper." The reindeer continued his tirade.

"Chopper…" a little louder, but still the doctor was too lost in his twisted fantasy.

"Oi! Dumbass chibi doctor!" The insult brought the furry out of his torturous trance. He stared at Sanji for a moment, right hoof absently scratching the back of his head.

"Ano..ehehehe." He laughed nervously shifting foot to foot. Right left, left right.. Sanji raised the visible eyebrow and let it drop. Chopper gulped.

"y..y…yo..you…see…I..uh..I…need help! How do I impress a girl?" the last part shouted louder than intended. He clamped cloven hooves over his mouth turning a deep red. Or would have, had he been completely human and not pseudo-human.

At first Sanji smirked, then smiled before finally outright laughing his ass off in front of the poor love struck medic.

"Is our little Chopper in love?" cooed the blonde man causing the pseudo human to blush again.

"Ano..well maybe. I mean I don't even know if she likes me." Sanji reached down, tousling his friend's crown hair.

"And who would this lucky girl be? Certainly not Robin or Nami, after all they are quite smitten with me." Eyes exploded into hearts and Sanji ranted on about ladies and other things like flowers and perfumes and what he would do to win their attentions.

And poor Chopper felt as if his hair might ignite into a ball of flame from the heat radiating off his skin.

"No no! Ah ha ha! It was a girl I met at the last island!" He stammered out. Sanji smirked, lit another cigarette and leaned towards the doctor.

End Flashback

"Chopper?" the voice was soft and distant. Chances leaned towards the voice being his imagination.

"Chopper?" same voice, closer this time. Damn his imagination sure was persistent. A hand lighter gripped his small hairy shoulder. He turned to gaze at its owner, a far off look in his eyes.

"Is something wrong Tony-kun?" He shook his head at the tangerine lover.

"mm no. Sorry. I was just daydreaming." The navigator.

"Well daydream and hand the ornaments at the same time." She joked giving the medic a playful nudge.

"Hai" simple answer to belie complicated thoughts. One week and he would put to test Sanji's advice.
