A/N: Naughty Athie-kun … heh heh. Poor Zoro … awww. Lucky Sanji … he must be over the moon!

Disclaimer: Haven't I done this enough? -sigh- Anyways, I don't own One Piece. Got that? No, you don't? Well, you little-

RR – Reviewers Response

Thanks to Thomas Drovin, my only reviewer for 'Going on the Going Merry' (excuse the weird pun)! I've also hit 500 hits! (does that even make sense?) For me to post next chapter, I need 3 reviews. Only 3 so I can hit 25 reviews. Anyways, I dedicate this chapter to Thomas Drovin, my most faithful reviewer!

In answer to your review: XP That would be funny. But Athenus does something else ... but she finds out something hilarious about Zoro next chapter. XD

-Recap-

Aware that the answer would probably make him angry, I said it anyway.

"I loved him."

-End recap-

(SANJI'S POV)

I stayed silent. Yes, I had already seen that with my own eyes, that she had loved him. But it was in the past tense … good news.

"Are you upset with me?" Athenus asked, tears in her sky blue eyes. I pitied her, since now she had a crewmate who hated her. But then again, so did I. I couldn't stand to see her cry.

I smiled, albeit a small smile. "No, Athie-chwan, I don't. Though I can't see how anyone can love that marimo."

Athenus laughed merrily in response. Changing the subject, she said, "I think you'd better give that meat to Luffy, or he'll barge in here, seeing us. Not the nicest picture for him to see, even though he is seventeen."

I looked at her curiously. "How did you know he was seventeen?"

She looked decidedly uncomfortable. "Let's say I have an instinct for picking out ages. And birthdays too."

"Then what's mine?" I asked, interested.

"March second. San ji," she quietly said, avoiding my intrigued eyes. Instead, my intrigued eyes roved over the rest of her body.

My face blanched. How could she know that? To evade asking her, I went and delivered the meat to the hungry compatriots outside, as Athenus went to ask Nami where she was going to be sleeping. But before she got that far, Luffy stopped her.

"Hey, Athe-san!" (A/N: I know it is a different spelling, and I'm now spelling it this way – it's easier. Athie is more … for loving purposes XP) Luffy called. "Didja wanna know what you are?"

She halted walking, at looked at the boyish captain. "Yeah, sure," she said, off-balance.

"You are the … ship's recorder!"

The rest of us in the room (Athenus, me and Usopp) raised an eyebrow, and a second later, burst out into uncontrollable laughter. Ship's recorder? Gimme a break. All at once the laughter broke off.

"You're not serious, right?" Athenus asked, having one of those anime moments.

Luffy nodded his head enthusiastically. Athenus hit herself with the palm of her hand. I shook my head. Usopp looked like he was laughing inside.

Rolling her eyes, Athenus said, "Well, I guess it's the captain's orders. We can think of a better position later."

We'd better, I thought. Ship's recorder, indeed.

Shaking her head and laughing silently, Athenus exited the dining room.

"Saaaanjiii …" whined Luffy. I sighed, and turned around.

"Yes, Luffy?"

"Do you have anymore meat I can eat?"

Hasn't he had enough alreadyI thought.

Evidently not.

Am I dreaming? That's Athie-chwan's voice …

Yes, Sanji-kun, it is.

I couldn't do anything else. I fainted.

(ATHENUS' POV)

"My Sanji-kun!" I yelled, running back into the kitchen. When my contact with his mind waves had died, I knew he had fainted. So that's why I was running.

Oh my god. I really said … my Sanji-kun … out loud? Oops.

On the floor, I saw my love out cold. I knelt down by his body, while Luffy and Usopp stood there, looking at the chef. Zoro yelled out from where he was, "Can't you shut up! I'm trying to sleep here!" and Nami ran in, looking concerned.

I yelled back, "Sanji-kun just fainted here, Zoro-san!"

"Oh. Well, I don't give a damn about that crappy ero-cook!"

I rolled my eyes. A shouting match. How fun. "Well, I do. And if you want tonight's dinner, you might want to get down here!"

"I'm coming, Nami-chan! Just stop yelling!"

Nami and I shared an amused look. "Can I?" I asked the thief.

She smiled wickedly, and nodded.

"Um …" Luffy interrupted. "What are you doing to do?"

"Oh, nothing," I said, with a flap of my hand. "Just tease Zoro-san."

An amused smile appeared on each of the Mugiwara pirates in the dining room, except Sanji, obviously because he was unconscious.

"Um … Zoro-san, do you like Athe-chan?" I shouted, hiding a giggle inside.

"Nami-chan … you should know …" he replied loudly. He was getting closer – time was running out.

"Athe-chan, let me take over, okay?" Nami whispered to me, and I nodded my head.

"But, Zoro-kun, I can't remember! Seeing the sight of poor Sanji-kun … it's made me forget everything!" Nami yelled tragically. I clapped a hand over my mouth to stop myself laughing.

"Fine then, Nami-chan. If it helps you so much, I do."

Silence ricocheted around the Straw Hat's dining room. My face was shocked, Nami's was filled with mirth … and Luffy's and Usopp's didn't count.

"I guess I'd better go …" I said quietly. "Say I'm in the bathroom, or something." Nami nodded. I exited by way of the kitchen to go outside to the main deck, where I saw the dining room door slam, evidence that Zoro had gone inside.

I decided to go to the rooms, to find out where I could sleep. But first … a wicked smile came over my face, as I thought about looking at the men's quarters … this could be interesting.

Next on Cursed Idiot …

Athenus finds where she sleeps … as well as where every one else does. Will she wreak havoc in the guy's quarters? Or leave them nice and neat?

Meanwhile, the rest of the Straw Hats are in the dining room, with the fainted Sanji. When will the love-cook wake up? And will they learn of Athenus' devil fruit powers?

All on Cursed Idiot next time …
