Chapter 4: The Start of the Vacation

"Now, boys and girls, please settle down. Everyone just calmly enter the buses and-" The principal, Mr. Nahlis, said before the crazy and hyper 11th graders rushed through the airport doors, anxious for the trip.

After much paperwork, the students were finally in the plane. Nami took a seat next to Vivi. Zoro jumped into a seat and fell asleep with Luffy next to him, eating a hot dog. Kaya took a seat next to the window, and Usopp sat next to her. Sanji sat across from them, Kuina right next to him.

Once the plane was off of the ground, the plain was anything but quiet. Kids were screaming, shouting, and throwing things around.

"Ow!" Kuina as she received a hard blow on the head from an apple. "Who threw that apple!" She looked around only to see people chatting loudly.

Luffy, now down with his large snack of meat, got up and began to walk down the asile. Then he walked back to his seat, and back to the end. Once he started doing this several times, Nami, who had been watching him, finally stopped him.

"Luffy! Will you sit down all ready!" Nami screamed as he walked by her.

"Why? Can't I get to know my neighbors on the plain?" Luffy asked with a goofy grin on his face.

"BUT THE PLANE IS MOVING!" yelled Nami.

"So?" said Luffy, still confused.

"Nevermind… just sit down already, will you!" Nami sighed as Luffy nodded with a smile. He took his seat next to Zoro.

Kaya's laughter was louder than usual. "When I was little, I had to face a giant vulture!" Usopp made hand motions as he told Kaya one of his many tall tales. She seemed to be enjoying them.

"So, Nami, any bright ideas for the matchmaker stuff?" asked Vivi as she flipped through one of the boring plain magazines.

"Not yet…" Nami looked towards Vivi and the article, finding no interest in it what so ever.

"Well, I'm sure we'll come up with something… like a party!" Vivi smiled brightly as she threw the magazine behind her.

"Oww! That hurt!" came a voice from behind them.

"Whoops, sorry about that person I don't know!" Vivi shouted back to them.

Nami just laughed. "Ok anyway, about that party you were saying…"

"Oh yeah. So any who, that party. Well make them look so good, that Zoro and Usopp will just have to ask them to dance!"

Nami gave her friend a 'thumbs up'. "That's an awesome idea!" Nami then looked over at Sanji and Usopp, who seemed to be having a good time.

"Hey Sanji, only like 2 more hours until we land!" Usopp grinned as he looked at the watch on the plane wall.

Sanji smiled as well. "That's good. Because even being with girls can make this plane ride boring," Sanji moaned.

"Hey, what's that supposed to mean!" Kuina glared at Sanji as he quickly tried to come up an excuse.

"I mean, most other girls! I couldn't be mad at you Kuina!" Sanji gave a large smile as Usopp just sighed.

"Whatever," Kuina said as she watched as Sanji and Usopp continued their conversation. She hoped the actual trip would be fun.

I bet they'll be everything there! Beaches, volleyball, free time, no school, spending the whole day with friends… Kuina smiled as she continued to think happy thoughts.

"Passengers, we shall be landing shortly, so please buckle up, tray tables put away and seats in the upright position. Thank you and I hope you enjoyed the flight." announced the loud speaker. Soon, the plane was bursting with cheers.

"Oh yeah! We're almost there!" Nami gave a large smile as she turned to look at Vivi, who was also smiling brightly.

Luffy looked over at Zoro, who was still sleeping. Luffy himself had just woken up from a nap.

"Hey Zoro! Wake up, we're here!" Luffy started poking Zoro on his shoulder until he finally jolted up, awake.

"Huh? We are? Oh, cool." Zoro gave a grin as he stood up, stretching.

"Zoro! Sit down now, can't you tell we are landing!" yelled a teacher from the back row.

Zoro looked behind him, and quickly sat down. The last thing he needed was to be n trouble during their vacation.

Luffy laughed a bit then looked out the window. "Hmm… it would nice to get some fresh air. I wonder… how do you open this window?"

Luffy stared at it for a moment, than an idea popped into his head. I know! I'll punch it! With a grin on his face, he began to bang on the window, wishing it would crack.

"LUFFY! WHAT YOU DOING?" screamed Zoro as he stared at his weird friend.

"I just want some fresh air! And I don't see any other way to open this window!" He explained as he kept punching it.

"There's a reason for that you know! People aren't supposed to open windows on a plain!" said Zoro as he grabbed Luffy's arm.

"Aww darn it… Then, what's that point of having windows on a plane?" questioned Luffy as he was released from Zoro's grasp.

"To sightsee or something… But if I had a choice, I would rather sleep," Zoro leaned back on the chair.

--------------------------

Everyone crowded around the lobby, lugging their suitcases behind them.

"Ok class. This will be our hotel." began Mr. Nahlis. "You will share your room with one other person. And since I know you are all mature young adults, you won't mind if you share a room with the opposite gender."

Several moans and groans came from the large crowd, except for Sanji, who seemed delighted at the idea.

"Ok, ok. Some people will get lucky and might even be with their friends!" At this, the students became a little more cheery.

"Let's see. First will be Kaya and Kuro," Kaya looked over towards the boy in the black suit, with black hair was just too shiny. She knew that Kuro had liked her since anyone could remember. And she just hated him. Now she would have to share a room with him!

"Krieg, and Ghin." The gray haired boy looked over to his friend Ghin, who was wearing his head band over his black hair.

"Sanji and Usopp," The two looked at each other, a happy look on Usopp's face, but a slightly disappointed one of Sanji.

"Zoro and… Kuina," This made Kuina blush and Zoro to grumble.

This will make matchmaking a whole lot easier! Thought Nami as she grinned.

"Wait no, slight change. Zoro will be with Mihawk," Said the principal. The two looked at each other, spark between their eyes. They were sworn enemies since, pretty much ever. They probably fought more than Zoro did with Sanji.

Hm... Just a little more work than... Nami thought to herself.

"So Kuina will be with Vivi," The two girls looked at each other and squeled in happiness. Though I did kind of want to be in the same room as Zolo. Wait a minute, what am I thinking! I should be happy! Thought Kuina.

"Nami and Luffy," Nami's heart skipped a beat. NOO! Not again! This can't be happening!

Nami wished she was hearing things, but sadly it was true. She glanced over at Luffy who was giving her one of his warm smiles. It didn't look dumb for once. She could feel her cheeks turn slightly pink, though she did not know why.

"Buggy and Alvida," Those two would get along fine, since they had been friends for a while. The raven haired girl seemed quite happy about it too.

Soon, Mr. Nahlis had finished with the roommate pairings as the students began towards their rooms, half of them disappointed.

--------------------------

Nami collapsed onto her bed, her bag still untouched. Life seemed to be going horrible. She pushed herself up and stared at her bag. She had to unpack before dinner.

"Hey Nami!" Luffy shouted from the other side of the room.

"What is it?" Nami glanced lazily towards him. He wasn't wearing his straw hat. Wow, he actually looks good without that weird hat. Wait a minute… What am I thinking! Bad Nami! Bad thoughts!

"Who's gonna get what drawers?" He pointed to the large set of drawers. "I'll take the bottom ones if you want," he said with a grin.

Nami blinked, and then gave a slow nod. "S-sure," she said, still trying to figure out why Luffy was being nice. Then again, wasn't he always nice?

Nami shook her head hard, trying to rid her head of the many thoughts.

"I'm going to visit Kuina and Vivi, ok?" Nami said. Without waiting for an answer, she jumped off of her bed and walked out the door.

She walked down the seemingly endless hallway. "Let's see. They said they were in room 156. That's 153 so 156 is right… here!"

Nami pushed open the doors to enter a similar looking room as hers.

"Oh, hey Nami?" Kuina greeted her friend from her bed. She seemed to be grinning.

"Hey Kuina. Where's Vivi?" Nami walked towards the bed and sat down as well.

"Here!" yelled Vivi as she raced out of the bathroom, her mouth filled with toothpaste.

"Well if you were brushing your teeth, than finish doing it!" Nami shouted as Vivi nodded and ran back into the bathroom, brushing her teeth vigorously.

"You're always so hygienic Vivi!" Kuina giggled and looked over towards Nami. "You ready for dinner? We have to go in like 30 minutes."

The thoughts suddenly dawned on her. "Oh, right! I still have to unpack. Sorry, I'll talk to you guys later!" And with that, Nami once again raced out of the door.

She ran back towards the door, and burst open. Not to her surprise, Luffy had fallen asleep. Heh, how predictable of him, thought Nami.

Nami sighed and grabbed her bag, setting in front of the drawers. Glancing at her watch, she gasped. Only 15 minutes! Nami took a deep breath as she began.

Shirts in one drawer, then shorts and pants, bathing suites and the interior clothing, and her dresses and jackets.

Nami smiled to herself as she looked at the completely organized drawers. She looked at her clock. Just in time. It was now 7:30, time for dinner.

Nami got up, shut the drawers and threw her empty bag next to her bed. As she walked out, she remembered Luffy sleeping. It was hard not too, considering he snored so loudly.

"LUFFY! WAKE UP!" Nami's scream echoed through the small room as Luffy jumped out of bed, tripping over his own feet.

"What? What's wrong!" He shot up immediately and grabbed his straw hat, setting it on his head. "Oh, hi Nami!" Luffy smiled brightly.

"Come on, it's time for dinner." Nami opened the door and Luffy quickly followed behind.

"Guess I fell asleep. Thanks for waking me up." Luffy said as they walked. Nami just smiled.

--------------------------

The lunch room seemed to be a lot nosier than the plain ride was. The teachers said that this would be the only organized meal, except for breakfast on the last day. But other than that, the students were allowed to go anywhere they wanted as long as they were back in their rooms by 9 pm.

There were many tables in the large room. One of them had the four girls seated, talking to each other much more than eating.

"How will I survive in the same room as Kuro for 2 weeks?" shouted Kaya. "He's a total weirdo, plus he likes me, which makes things a whole lot worse. Good thing he always goes to Butchie or Siam's rooms'. That way I can actually have some privacy."

"Mmm, this food is the best! Much better than cafeteria food," said Vivi in between bites. Kuina nodded her head in agreement.

"This will be the best vacation ever!" Kuina rejoiced.

"Yea, that's because you have each other as roommates!" Nami sighed. "I have Luffy as a roommate."

Everything at that table seemed to stop. "Wait a minute; did you just call him Luffy?" Kuina looked up from her meal and stared at Nami.

"Yea, no 'stupid' or 'idiot' or 'fool' or-" Kaya began but Vivi stopped her.

"Ok, we get it!" Vivi took a breath. "But yea, they have a point. You actually called Luffy by his name. His first name. His name only."

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Nami. Her face was a deep red. She had no idea what to say, and she surely wanted to change subjects.

"Well?" Vivi asked.

"What's the deal?" Kuina questioned.

"Tell us!" Kaya demanded.

But Nami was too overwhelmed. She stood there for a second, and then ran off back to her room.

Everyone stared as she left.

"Hey…" Kuina began. "She left her food!" She pointed out.

"KUINA!" Vivi and Kaya shouted.

Nami was now in her room, sitting on the bed. She had no idea what to think. And her friends knew she had a small crush on Luffy. Wait, she has a crush on Luffy?
