Ruffy's Childhood Stories

Chapter Four

Two Plus Two is…

Disclaimer: I am very sorry to tell you this, but I do not own any Monkeys, Pumas, or Dragons. I feel as though I must apologize for this, gomen na sai. I am not Eiichiro Oda. And sorry Eii-sama about what I'm doing to poor Ruffy! Gomen!

Ace flushed the toilett and thought, Dude, what am I doin'?Dragon's always goin' places, and I, I have to take care of my father's son. I mean, I'm not his father, am I? Sure, I love my bro, but I wanna have a life too, one of my own, I mean. Someday, I'm just gonna leave. Jupp!

He washes his hands (something everyone should do), and returned to Ruffy.

Ruffy made up his mind. He would pretend to like Ace's story so that he would loose the entertaining factor of baby sitting: agonizing children.

With big, lovely, cute eyes,and a 'please, please expression' on his face, "Oh, Ace, Ace, please read on. I wanna know what Pinky's gonna ask Moritz! I just LOVE fairy tales. They have such a high literary value! Please, continue wth the lovely narative of the pink fluffy bunny."

Ace gaped. He stumbled backward, hit his head on the wall, and laughed out loud.

OK, he's makin' fun o' me. But I can play this game better'n him. I made it up after all, thought Ace remembering when he was Ruffy's age and Dragon used to put him to bed. Ace used the old man's tricks: fluffy PJs, bunny story.

"If ya like it that much… Then lets continue!" he said out loud.

"Pinky went to Moritz the Maroon Mouse and asked him his Absolutlely Unsolvable Question, the one No One In The World Could Ever Solve, at least in Pinky's oppinion. 'What is two and two?' he asked with an air of expectance around him. Moritz looked at him, then to the ground, and back at the brainless bunny. Pinky noticed Mortiz's expression of confused amusement and said 'I've been thinking about it ever since I read that book 1984 cos the people there say it's five. And I've been wondering. For all I know it's eight…"

Ruffy looked at his brother with a puzzled stare. He knew the entire plot of this story and the last scene did simply not exist. Pinky was supposed to ask how to catch his tail, and Mortiz would give him a book with a "tale" in it, which would belong to Pinky making it "his tale".

"Yo, what'a'ya doin', Ace?"

"Playing your game kid."

That's it for now. My last reviewer asked me to "please continue", so I thought I really should update. Well, enjoy!
