"Okay, I think I've got one."
"Really?"
"Yeah…ummm…okay, no."
An exasperated sigh. "Let's try again. Take little steps, then put your foot down firmly."
Shuffling ensured.
"Ow! That's my foot, you bastard!"
A low growl. "It's hard with all these furniture in the way, alright?"
"Watch them, there's sort of a pattern. It's almost like dancing." One, two, step. Squish! One, two, step. Squish! "See?"
More shuffling. A grin. "Yeah, it works."
"Okay, now let's get to work."
One, two, step. Squish! One, two, step. Squish!
"Hey, this is actually rather good exercise."
"Keep up now, cabbage-head, or you'll lose the rhythm."
"Speak for yourself, cook."
"Faster, Zoro! The last one, it's getting away!"
There was a flurry of frenzied steps as they both lunged towards the corner, but only succeeded in knocking into each other. They went down in a tangle of flailing limbs, loud curses and a terrible crash.
The kitchen door slammed open. "All right! What's going on here?"
"Nami-san?" He asked, peering over Zoro's shoulder.
The navigator stood taking in the scene before her, then backed slowly out of the kitchen. "On second thoughts, I don't think I want to know."
Sanji blinked, realizing how it must look to her. Both of them lying on the ground, disheveled, panting hard like they've just been…
"Wait, Nami-san!" He cried, trying to push Zoro's considerable bulk off him. "We were just…ummm…dancing! No! Er…I mean fighting! Yeah, that's it! Fighting!"
"Whatever you want to call it, Sanji-kun." She gave him a condescending smile. "But try to keep it down, ok?" With that, she closed the door and left.
Sanji groaned.
"Gotcha!" came Zoro's triumphant voice as he snatched the last bug from the space under the refrigerator. "Stupid cook! Told you it'll be easier to catch them by hand."
