Ok not only is this late but I had to piece it together last minute... I totally didn't mean to do this, If its any consolation this fic might end up being at leats a little dramatic… I think I just hope I don't lose track of the days again… I was in shock when I found out today was saterday… I guess its Sunday now though.

On a short side note my friends loaning me FF7… the bad news, he forgot to loan me the memory card so Im stuck leaving the system on day and nigh… now to the delayed fic, hope it meets you enjoy it.

Sanji slowed the carnage as instructed by an overwhelmed chopper who proceeded to hop out of the carriage ears perked up trying to detect any more of the animal's frantic chatter. Chopper wasn't surprised that there was a ruckus in the forest after all Sanji wasn't avoiding kicking down any trees he just ignored the wildlife and was tearing the island apart, but he hadn't kicked anything furry had he? No chopper had been looking for any living things in the path to ensure no one was hurt.

"I think Luffy and Nami are causing this forest more trouble than they know…" Chopper said.

A few hours ago the group had finished their meals and had been plowing through the island which, as Sanji had proclaimed after the first hour of searching, was much larger once you were trying to find something on it. In those hours Chopper had been listening to the forest animals, they seemed to be getting more and more worried about something approaching their king. This having made chopper uneasy due to his previous experience with animal run kingdoms, was making him listen to the animals even more closely. Unfortunately he hadn't picked up much… until now.

Another flock of birds had passed by chirping about their defeated king and how a orange furred monster had destroyed their safety This naturally caught choppers interest so he quickly called out to Sanji to stop the carriage and proceeded to chase don't the flock calling out as he ran, leaving a perfectly confused Sanji behind.

"What on earth is he doing!?" Sanji exclaimed watching chopper disappear into the forest "Hes going to get lost!"

"I believe doctor-san has heard something." Robin smiled and returned to her book, she hadn't been too distracted not to notice what was going on around her, but then she had always been quite observant.

"Ah, Robin-swan is so clever." Sanji danced around ready to help Robin out of Usopps make-shift carriage when Chopper ran back to the carriage looking pleased.

"Sanji that way!" Chopper exclaimed running off towards the highest mountain in the visible vicinity, not waiting for the others to catch up. "But hurry, I don't know what happened but… Luffy was fighting smoker."

"Damn it." Sanjis joy quickly switched to concern as he ran past the reindeer towards the mountain top.

Chopper was quickly scooped up by robin and put back in his post watching Sanji to ensure he didn't trample anything nearby that he could avoid.

So the odd couple just sat there in the mud, in the clam. Namis skirt was ruined and Luffy was beginning to realize that he was hungry but all in all everything was as it should be, nothing mattered to 

either of them because the fact that they were both sitting there together meant the world hadn't been able to tear them apart, and that was that.

"Nami-swan!! Im coming, please hang on!" Both Nami and Luffy jumped and looked up in time to see Sanji climbing up the hill pulling robin and Chopper behind him. Chopper was particularly noticeable due to the fact he was screaming at Sanji for kicking down yet another tree that one of the island birds had been nesting in; needless to say it wasn't in the tree anymore.

Luffy stumbled to his feet and began jumping up waving his arms all around in an attempt to get their attention and yelling something about food and starving that went totally ignored. Nami let out a small laugh as the chaos she had become so used to returned to her life, she sat there watching her nakama gather around just as they always would, Sanji would catch up to them and begin fawning over her, then they would return to the way everything had always been. Nami managed to laugh again but this time it wasn't as positive as before, 'Nothing's changed at all, everyone is acting the same… maybe I was wrong, maybe we wouldn't be able to stay together.' And worth that tears began stinging the corners of Namis eyes.

While Nami was still lost and lonely in her own thoughts Luffy looked over ready to start running to meet Sanji, he was going to but not anymore… Nami wasn't happy? 'But Nami wanted to go back to the ship right? That's what she said… she said shed wanted to head back that she was tired and…' Luffy fell back down to the ground beside Nami and put his hand on hers.

"Nami?" Luffy looked at his navigator trying to understand what could possibly have made her mood plummet this fast. He felt like he was doing something wrong but what was he supposed to do?

'Namis mad because of you' a small voice spoke up in Luffys mind, Luffy began shaking his head trying to get rid of the voice but no matter how hard he shook it kept planting doubts in his mind, 'She likes Sanji you fool! How could you think anything would change?'

'No…no, no' Luffy put up a face and tried ignoring the voice pushing it to the back of his mind. There was no way Nami could be upset because of him, it was his job to keep everyone of his crew happy and he didn't make them sad, wouldn't make them sad… with that he jumped up smile planted on his face however fake it may have been.

The rescue team knew immediately that something had to be wrong once they arrived because the moment they arrived there wasn't any conversation, no laughing coming from their friends just silence. Sanji attempted to ignore this and helped Nami up and into the carriage but the moment she sat onto the cushion in the cart Sanji broke.

Nami was sad, covered in mud, her new skirt had been ruined but worst of all she wouldn't smile, she always smiled but this time she had just forced a grimace onto her face and sat, and that was breaking Sanjis heart.

Filled with anger and having no Zoro around to fight to relieve it Sanji turned on Luffy "You made her like this didn't you!?" He yelled at Luffy, he knew he shouldn't be doing this that Luffy took this bad but hell what was he supposed to do!? "What happened up here!?"

Sanji continued to stand their half way into the carriage ready to have a quick nap before continuing the battle in his mind, but all this yelling wasn't helping, and neither was the topic. After all that had been piling up today his is what he came home to? Luffy turned away from everyone, clearly having snapped, he quietly mumbled that he would find his way back to the ship and disappeared into the trees.

The rest of the crew having been awestruck at what had been occurring finally came to their senses with Nami and Chopper taking the initiative to begin lecturing Sanji about the entire event beginning what he recognized to be a long trip back to the trip, he lit a cigarette and took the tiny bit of enjoyment in the thought of how he knew Luffy was heading in the wrong direction, 'well itll give him time to think. And with any luck forget what I said… I know he trusts us, so why did I have to open my mouth.' Thought wandering back to the cackling marimo of whom Sanji was sure was waiting back on the ship Sanji began his reluctant trip back down the mountain.

Ok now for a last minute thing, Ive totally diverged from the original idea I had for this ending, especially due to that last scene which means this might be a little rougher than the rest of the story… but hopefully with better grammar or at least spelling… Im getting better as far as I can tell.

please reveiw seeing as a stopry alert is what reminded me I needed to post and showed me people are still reading this it would be greatly appreceated by all... i think
