AUTHOR'S NOTE!
Hello my fellow people who are in love with anime, yet I am not so interested in it except for the characters' personalities for they are so much fun to write about in a story.
Believe this or not. Whatever.
Anyway, I just bloody rushed through this chapter! Hoorah! Just spare me the crap.
But whatever. I am upmost sorry that I have not taken any of my chapters seriously, but I feel as if this story is where I can vent out any irritation that I had recieved from these two most irritating girls in the freaking planet!
ARGH! I just want to break their freaking necks and twist them into freaking little knots! ARGH!
Sorry about that. If you want to give me therapy, then PLEASE don't bother! Hahahahaha. Yeah...
So, just to let ya guys know, this chapter will have TONS AND TONS of grammar mistakes for my irritation and depression has built up so I merely quickly typed the freaking thing.
Cause of these freaking girls! ARGH!
So again, I want to apologize for my grammar mistakes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm failing English. I hope you guys won't fail English either for reading this junk.
So again, I say to you...
SPARE ME THE CRAP.
The ball belonged to a wealthy young dude, who apparently is popular around these parts. The ball took place in your typical big roomed, bright area with a huge chandelier hanging from above. I would have said that this would suck like ass, considering the fancy people and this lame red dressed I was forced to put on. Obviously, this is going to stink like—LOOK AT ALL THAT FOOD!
"No! Luffy! Bad girl!" Nami snapped.
"B-b-b-b-b-but the food!" I cried. My mouth was salivating already!
"No!"
I pouted and crossed my arms. This isn't fair! Okay, this party officially sucks like ass now! How in hell am I suppose to enjoy being here when I'm not even allowed to eat! That's like…like living an entire day without meat!
"Jeez, what's taking the boys so long?" Nami grumbled, puffing out one cheek.
"Don't worry, Miss Navigator, they will surely come. I'm quite sure that they will be," Robin assured her calmly. From that glint in her eyes, well, I'm pretty sure that she was involved. "Captain, you look lovely in that dress."
"She does, doesn't she?" Nami cut in, smirking.
"I suppose you picked out the dress?"
"Indeed!"
"Yes, yes. And you look good yourself."
"Thanks!" Nami's grin grew even broader. "Not so bad yourself, Robin."
"Why thank you."
And that was the girls' dialogue. It wasn't so bad, actually. I actually understood what they were talking about without having my head blow up with the confusion. But then again, all they were talking about were dresses, and were complimenting each other. Do all girls do this?
Nami gracefully twirled around, her light blue, flowing dress fluttering with the spin. Her hair bounced, yet her bun did not come out loose.
Robin was dressed in a black one that was down to her ankles. The black dress was closely bounded together to her legs that I wonder how she can walk around without falling. It always makes me wonder about that whenever I see ladies wearing those kind of dresses. Seriously though, how can they not trip?
I sighed and ran my fingers through my hair, which was super irritating since Nami added some girly hair trinkets to it, saying that it would make me look "prettier". FEH! I don't want to look pretty! I just want my own gender back! If I was a guy again, I won't have to be dressed up into these dumb outfits and have my pride ruined any further.
Bad sadly, my pride has been damaged. Critically.
"Oh!" Nami suddenly gasped. "Look at him!"
I couldn't see what the guy looked like, but I turned my head towards the crowd that Nami pointed. I guess she spotted some guy who apparently was attracting attention from everyone, though mostly from all the girls around him. They had these googly eyes, fixated only at him as if they were hypnotized or something.
Weird, but it's true.
"That must be the man who invited everyone to his manor," Robin said, rubbing his chin. "Younger than I have expected."
"Oh my gosh." Nami placed a hand over her lips, gasping again. "He—he's really hot!"
I blinked. "But he's not on fire or burning," I pointed out.
"No Luffy, I meant that he is a stud," Nami sighed.
"Uh, right…what's a stud again?"
Nami sighed again. "An attractive guy."
"Oh, okay. Sheesh, couldn't you say that instead of being so complicated?"
"Some day," Nami declared, shaking her head, "I'll make sure that Luffy would become more feminine and will understand all traits of women. But until then, you're just my idiotic student who has much to learn from your master."
She was totally acting as if she really cared, which she doesn't. Even though she was lacing it up with sarcasm, it still pissed me off that she was implying me as a girl still!
"Nami, you do realize that I am not going to stay as a girl, right?" I retorted. "I will get those leaves and change back to normal."
"Yeah, but like I said in the previous chapter! You're better off as a girl, you oaf! Besides, how else are you going to capture the hearts of Zolo and Sanji?" Nami taunted teasingly.
"Enough! I don't want to hear anymore!" I clapped my hands against my ears. "I'm your captain! Don't disrespect him by saying shit like that!"
"Don't you mean 'her', Miss Captain?" Robin joined in, chuckling.
I shook my head furiously. "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!" I rambled quickly. "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! As your captain, I order you not to speak of that shitty topic ever again!"
"Wow, Luffy's first direct order after all this time. Maybe we really penetrated her," Nami laughed.
"It's not 'her'! It's 'him'!"
"Listen, Luffy—"
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!"
"Would you—"
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!"
"Hey—"
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!"
Nami slapped the back of my head. I whined and clutched it.
"Would you shut up?" Nami frowned, crossing her arms over her chest.
"So that you can make fun of me about Zolo and Sanji?"
"As much as I like to, you just ruined my mood," Nami huffed. "As I was trying to say before…Even though you were a guy before you ate the medicine, you're a girl now. It's a simple fact, really. Sure, you were a 'he', but now you are a 'she'. Give it a break. The you right now is a girl, not a boy. And if you actually managed to get those leaves and change back into a guy, then we'll just have to call you a 'he' instead of 'she'. Why? Because that's the gender you are. But right now, you're a girl."
I frowned, but nodded. "Fine," I grumbled, glaring down below at the floor. "But I won't like it. Not one bit."
"Oh loosen up. Being a girl isn't all that bad!"
"Well, I guess periods aren't that bad then. No, they are wonderful! Just fucking wonderfully fantastic ."
"Quit the sarcasm before I hit you. Again."
"You can't hit me! I'm a girl!"
"And so am I."
"Oh. I didn't know that girls could hurt another girl. I know guys can beat up another guy, but not a girl against another girl. I thought that they were too weak or something. Like they don't want to break a nail. Well, except for you, Nami, you're weird enough to hit another girl like me. Now that's just weird."
Nami slumped over. "If male Luffy said that, I would not hesitate to beat the living day lights out of him. But female Luffy is too naïve to understand anything yet. To find out a girl insulting her own gender, that's just ridiculous."
"Yet it's rather funny, is it not?" Robin said, looking amused.
I frowned once again. What's so funny about being like this? Oh man, can't we get this night over with? Where the hell are the guys? Oh wait, maybe it's a good thing that they aren't coming. If they saw me like this, I wouldn't hear the end of it! My pride—even though damaged—would not be able to handle something like that! No way.
Maybe if I escape…then I might be able to sneak my way to the ship and snack on the food in the fridge! I'll stay there until everyone has come back, then I'll sneak off again so that I would not have to endure Nami's rage. Nami's frightening rage.
But hey, better than having my pride ruined even further, right?
Suddenly, a gleaming smile appeared on Nami's face. "Hey! It's the guys!"
Well, there goes my plan.
There they were. In their monkey suits. Well, most of them were. Usopp wasn't there. "Where's Mister Long Nose?" Robin asked.
"The fellow had a bad case of indigestion, so we left him at the ship," Sanji said coolly.
"I gave him medicine, so he should be doing fine," Chopper said.
Robin nodded. "I see."
"Was he really sick?" Nami narrowed her eyes, lighting up from suspicion.
Sanji shrugged. "Maybe. Maybe not. Probably faked being ill so he wouldn't have to come here."
USOPP! YOU TRAITOR! And I actually prepared myself to make fun of him while he was wearing his freaking MONKEY SUIT! SHIIIIIIIT!
Then Sanji's eyes averted upon me. I suddenly felt a choking feeling in my throat. "Well, well, well!" Sanji grinned widely, his visible eye showing much amusement. "Who do we have here?"
Chopper's eyes grew large. "Luffy? Is that…really you?"
Zolo broke into a choked laugh. "Never would have thought you'd give in so easily! Thinking of sticking to being a lady?" He chuckled, folding his arms across his chest.
"Not bad, not bad. Too bad you're a flat-chest. Don't go for those," Sanji mused, rubbing his chin.
I kept my frown on. Before I would have said something, Nami's fists came down and made contact with Sanji's and Zolo's skulls.
"Would you two shut the hell up already? And don't tease a girl like that! And you call yourselves men," Nami huffed.
Sanji gasped as exaggerated tears flowed down from his deeply sadden eyeballs. "Oh NO! I am SO sorry, my lovely Nami! Would you PLEASE forgive a foolish man such as I?" he wept.
He grabbed her hand and held it close to his chest. Nami sighed, but forgave him anyway. But she sent a glare to Zolo.
"Well?"
"What?" Zolo said.
She frowned. "Aren't you going to apologize? Oh, and furthermore, you didn't apologize to Luffy, Sanji," Nami said.
Sanji cringed. "Eh…" He looked at me, then at Nami, then me again, then finally at Nami. "Can't I make Luffy an extra heaping of breakfast tomorrow morning?"
"I'd like that!" I agreed, grinning widely. Yeah, so what if I don't receive an apology for Sanji making fun of me? Apologies ain't as filling as Sanji's yummy cooking!
"What? What the hell are you talking about? You always apologizes to a girl, Sanji," Nami said. She placed her hands on her hips and looked at the blonde man with a confused expression.
"Heh, well, I'd feel awkward about it. Because, ya know, Luffy's actually a guy, but just turned into a girl," Sanji explained, rubbing the back of his neck.
My grin grew even bigger. "Extra breakfast and now someone has finally realized that I'm a guy? Could this day get any better besides going to this shitty dance party or whatever it is?" I laughed.
I did laughed, but for some reason it feels…not as fun like how I would usually laugh. It's as if…I'm not having fun. Why am I not feeling as if this is a fun time? Is it because this dance thingamajig thing that I was forced to go and be forced to be dressed into some lame dress and have these stupid hair shit on my head?
I started to have that feeling when Sanji first gave me that uncomfortable look when Nami told him to apologize to me. Then it grew that when he said that he still saw me as a guy.
Shouldn't I be happy about it, though?
Am I going mental? This is so weird!
"Luffy? What's the matter?" Chopper asked, his eyes curiously looking at me. "You look discomforted."
"Chopper! I'm going mental!" I whispered, totally worried. "I think I'm becoming more and more like a girl! This is bad. Really bad."
Chopper blinked. "I didn't know girls go mental."
"Sure they do! Just look at Nami!"
"I heard that, Luffy!" snarled Nami's frightening voice.
"See?" I whispered.
Nami rolled her eyes and flipped her hair. "Luffy, you're just upset that Sanji didn't see you as a girl," Nami said, with a hint of annoyance in her tone.
My eyebrows furrowed. "No I'm not."
"Yeah you are. Girls get upset when guys don't see them as a girl, stupid."
"But I'm not a girl."
"WE JUST WENT THROUGH THIS!"
"I know, but then I figured that I'm going mental, so it is clear that my desire of being a guy again is really strong, so therefore, the desire will then become an atom and then a molecule or whatever scientific shit there is in some damn book, thus making me more and more want more and more of a guy. So in other words, I am a guy."
"…What the hell are you even talking about!" Nami growled.
"What? I thought when smart people talk, they just say something that they don't really understand," I said.
This is just too weird. Nami is being weird too. Now she thinks that I'm sad that Sanji doesn't see me as a girl. That should be a good thing.
If they think that I'm staying as a girl for long, they have another thing coming! And I am not going to be a girl! I am going to a full on MAN!
HELL YEAH.
"Luffy, just admit it, you are upset," Nami sighed.
"I for one agree with Miss Navigator," Robin called out.
Sanji cringed. "Is Luffy…turning gay?"
I cringed too. "Ewww…"
Zolo rolled his eyes. "Can we go home now?"
Okay, that's it!
"I'm going outside for fresh air. Everybody is being too weird today," I sniffled. "Must have been the soup that everybody had today."
Everybody froze, except for Robin.
"W-w-what about the s-soup?" Nami sputtered.
"Oh, well I accidentally spilled it on the floor when I was trying to see what we were having for lunch," I explained, then Sanji was turning pale, "then I thought it would have been a waste so I used the available non-salty water there was."
"Wait a minute…the only water that wasn't salty was…" Zolo trailed.
"I replaced it with toilet water," I said. Then I turned to Robin. "But what I don't get is why you didn't have any soup. Weren't you hungry?"
"Oh, I already had something to eat," she said with a smile.
For some reason, everybody was pale. Except for Chopper, he just fainted.
"Luffy!" all the guys screamed. "Only you would do something like that!"
"You stupid captain!"
"I'm gonna kill you!"
"My soup! Oh my soup!" Sanji wailed.
Uh oh. I feel a murderous feeling around them. I better jet.
"Well, I'm off," I called.
"LUFFY!"
"MY SOUP!"
As I scurried away, I felt a giggle growing. It didn't matter whether we were attracting attention from every priss at this ball; we were having a damn good time. Even if I had dressed up like a girly girl.
I walked to the balcony. It was cold, but what does it matter? I was kind of having a good time!
Except when Sanji didn't see me as a girl.
Huh? Wait, no! I don't care if he doesn't see me as a girl! I'm going to be a guy again! Besides, Sanji clearly knows that me acting like some stupid girl who is in love is down right lame. I mean, even if I had fallen in love while I'm a girl, it wouldn't be Sanji!
Not that Sanji is bad or anything, but he is such a freaking pervert! He'll be swooned by any girl there is! Especially the pretty ones. Anyway, I'm not pretty. Or I think I'm not. Yeah, I am not pretty! I am not! There is no way that Sanji would love me!
"No! What am I thinking! Of course he wouldn't love me!" I hissed under my breath.
Damn. Being a girl really is irritating.
"Heh, how amusing!"
I froze. I turned my head around slowly and saw a guy who was about a few years older than I was.
He was tall, had light colored hair, and, uh…I guess something what Nami would call a stud or something burning. Whatever.
And he was smiling.
"Why, hello there," he said warmly. "I am Bartholomew. I hope that you had enjoyed my ball."
I blinked. "Oh, so you were the one who own this place," I said.
"Yes, that is right. And who may I call you as, Miss?"
I guess he wants my name. "I'm Luffy," I answered with a grin.
"Well then Miss Luffy, may I take you in this honor of having this dance?"
AUTHOR'S NOTE!
See? WhatdidItellya?
Bad grammar.
Oh no, Smiles, what are we going to do with YOU?
And man, I have finals to accomplish.
This is SO not helping.
But whatever.
This is Fanfiction. Where all my imagination is unleashed, not being graded on how well I do in English.
SPARE ME THE CRAP.
And again, I am REALLY sorry. I usually am some polite idiot who uses an over dose of unused vocab such as "perhaps" or "suppose" or "exhilerating".
Okay, I'm not that polite, but I don't swear unless I'm on Fanfiction.
So yeah, sorry for my attitude.
