Olivia stood under the burning spray, letting the mixture of blood and dirt rinse off her skin as she scrubbed. I guess this is what I will look like in thirty years or so., thought the girl as she continued to wash. Man my back feels really tense, I guess Mom took the brunt of the damage trying to protect me. She'd probably feel bad if she knew how hurt her body actually is now that I'm in it, maybe a quick soak will help. Olivia turned the knobs over the tub to let it fill up as she finished washing her hair. When the water was nearing the rim she carefully slid in, allowing her sore muscles and scraped skin to be soothed by the encompassing warmth, sinking down in bliss. The young swordsman relaxed, nearly falling asleep as the pain and stress seeped out of her body making her feel weightless. This is nice. Livy remained still in the water as the minutes ticked by, her body becoming more and more tired as she soaked. I should get out before I fall asleep up here and Uncle Brook or Sanji stumbles in. Hehe, Dad might actually kill them if they peeked at Mom or me. She tried to rise out of the tub only to fall back onto the porcelain bottom, her head slipping under the surface, and her limbs not cooperating. Olivia reached for the edge, attempting to pull herself up on useless arms as fear started to sink in. Mom's a devil fruit user, her body can't stay in standing water without all its strength being zapped. Dang it, why didn't I think of that!? The young Roronoa tried once again to reach with her leaded arms, but this time aiming for the drain plug that was keeping her surrounded by this watery prison. The plug popped out after several tugs to the teen's relief, her body's energy slowly coming back as the liquid ebbed away. She took several grasps of air as her face finally came above the water line, her depraved lungs straining with the effort.
"Rule number one, no standing water until I'm in my body again.", breathed Olivia with a laugh. After a few minutes Livy tried again to exit the tub, this time met with success. She toweled off her weary body before wrapping herself up and heading out of the bathhouse. The historian was careful to check around corners as she sneaked towards her parents' room in search of clothes. Why did I bring a change of my clothes with me? As if Mom and I have the same measurements. She managed to reach the room without meeting any of her family thankfully, and slipped in soundlessly.
"Okay let's see if I can find a pair of jeans." Olivia threw open the closet, rifling through Robin's wardrobe until she found a pair of light blue jeans, a white tank-top, and a matching lavender button-down shirt with long sleeves. "This will do for now." She let the towel fall from her body, slipping into the borrowed bottoms, then the undershirt as the door opened.
"Gah, what the heck Ro- Livy?", said Zoro, taking in his wife's half-dressed body.
"I forgot I have to wear Mom's clothes, and you're the one that came in without knocking.", said the girl as she pulled the tank top over her torso. "Turn around."
"This is my room, why would I knock? And besides it's not like I haven't seen Robin's body before.", replied the male swordsman as he faced the wall.
"See that's something that I didn't need to hear, and as of right now this body is mine so.", sighed the teen as she finished adjusting her clothes.
"Yeah, hopefully not for long."
"Ditto, I'm done." Zoro turned around to see Robin's body dressed in a pair of old jeans with an open long-sleeved shirt over a white undershirt.
"So you're doing okay?", asked the man awkwardly.
"Oh yeah, I almost drowned in the bathtub and then my dad whined about not being able sleep with my mom, but other than that, I'm awesome.", said Olivia with a smirk.
"I, I didn't mean...", stuttered the red-faced father.
"Haha, that's funny even in this body."
"Livy!"
"Don't worry I'm leaving.", said the girl as she walked around her father and out the door.
Tomorrow, I can make it until tomorrow., thought an exasperated Zoro as he sunk onto his mattress.
Olivia's Room
"I hope you don't mind my sleeping in here tonight.", said Robin when her daughter entered the bedroom.
"Of course not Mom, it'd be weird if you had to stay with Dad when your stuck in my body."
"Yes, so how was your shower? I think I'll have one after I finish up here, making a bed is so tedious when you only have two arms."
"I may have almost drowned, but up until then it was nice.", replied Olivia nervously.
"You're not allowed to be alone on deck until we're back to normal.", said the older archaeologist as she finished preparing the bed for later.
"Yeah, that seems fair."
"How are you holding up?"
"It's strange, I actually don't feel completely different."
"Well your body does contain half of my genes so it's understandable that you'd feel a resemblance."
"Yeah I guess.", agreed the teen, although a bit distractedly. Olivia walked over to her body, wrapping her arms around it from behind. "I love you Mom."
"I love you too Olivia." Robin brought her hand up to her body's arm, gently rubbing it.
"I think I'll lay down for a bit. Who knew near death experiences could be so draining?", joked the teen, falling onto the made bed.
"Alright, I'll be back in little bit. Oh, and don't forget to let Chopper look at your wounds.", said Robin as she gathered a set of clothes and exited the room.
"Sure thing.", yawned Olivia, falling asleep as her head hit the pillow.
