NAOMI

We survived little Garden and now had the eternal pose for Alabasta. Unfortantly I knew we couldn't go straigth there because nami was sick so we had to stop at Drum Island. But than we'd have Chopper. Ren and I both agreed he was was the cutest 'One Piece' character.

I woundered what would happen to Ren when Nami was sick, she already looked unsteady and pale. "Are you alright Ren?" Sanji asked causing everyone to looked at her with concern. So I wasn't the only one who had noticed.

"Fine. Fine." Ren said quickly (too quickly) waving away our worry. Ren was thinking about something that much was obvious. Though it was tricky to read her and impossible to tell what she was thinking about.

"What are you thinking about?" Usopp, oddly enough, was the one brave enough to ask.

"Nothing of particular importance at the moment." Ren told him looking him straight in the eye with each word but quickly dropping her eyes to her eyes when she was through.

Vivi suddenly announced that Nami was sick and than freaked out when she learned that Nami was the only one on the ship who had any medical knowledge.

I laughed when Usopp, Luffy, and Sanji informed the blue haired princess they had never been sick. Even Usopp had never been sick... And he didn't wear a shirt and unlike Ace he wasn't made out of fire.

"She'll be fine. I kpromise you that." Ren said from the door way before going back above deck.

ZORO

Ren was sick but she wasn't going to admit it. "You're going to hurt yourself if you don't let the others know your sick." I warned her.

"Whatever are you going on about?" Ren asked. Her voice had taken on a defensive tonea nd a thick accent. Was she trying to protect herself or Naomi?

"Don't lie. You're not very good at it." I told her. She turned to look at me. Her skin was flushed and her eyes were slightly clouded.

"I'm not lieing and even if I was you'd have no way of proving it." She told me.

"I may not be able to help if somebody's sick but I can tell you that you are." I argued.

"I'm not sick Nami is." She said without hesitation and I probably would have believed her if she hadn't swayed and nearly fallen.

"You call that not sick?" I asked her with a raised eyebrow.

"I call it keeping my orignal alive." Ren answered crossing her arms. I would have asked her to explain but she did without question. "I think because Nami's sick I'm sick. I don't know hot to explain it but that's the best I can come up with." She said running a hand through her hair.

"It's not right for you to suffer just because she is." I told her as she sat down next to me.

"Who says I'm suffering?" Ren asked with a cocky grin.

"I do." I answered. Ren chuckled before her laughter disolved in a coughing fit.

"I ain't suffering. Trust me." Ren answered. I rolled my eyes.

"Quit being so stubborn." I ordered her.

"Sorry if I did that I owuld have died a long time agoo." She repiled. She wasn't going to give in any time soon.

NAOMI

We finally reached the castle. I'd insisted on going with Sanji and Luffy as they took Nami and Ren up the moutain. This turned out to be a good thing because we learned I could control water.

The doctor wasn't exactly shocked but she did have an odd expression on her face. "What?" I asked her as she asked Chopper to put each of my four compagions in a different room.

"One of them is a doppelganger." It wasn't a question.

"Yeah. Ren, the one with glasses." I answered. "Why?" I found myself asking.

"She's not sick or even injured. At least not pyhisically." The doctor answered.

"But she passed out and was pale and everything." I told her. there was no way Ren wasn't sick.

"That's because her orignal is sick. In order for the other girl to fight the virus she has to sap the strength out of her doppelganger." The doctor explained.

"What if Nami was just injured or something?" I asked.

"Than the doppelganger would more than likely take on the wound instead."

"What about if the doppelganger gets hurt?"

"Than the doppelganger gets hurt. It wold seem that orginals are favored over doppelgangers." The doctor explained. I went to Ren's oom. She was asleep but she was talking. Of course the first two words out of her mouth were my name and Zoro's. I chuckled.

"It's ok. You'll see him again soon. Ad when you wake up you can even say I told you so." I told her smoothing back her orange hair.

"Who are you?" Chopper asked coming into the room.

"I'm Naomi. She's my best friend Ren." I told him not looking up from REn. "Who are you?" I questioned. If he asked me I might as well return the favor even though I already knew.

"Chopper." He answered before going to check on Nami.

"I told you you were sick." Zoro said to Ren once we were all back on the ship.

"No. The doc explained it to naomi. I was sick 'cause Nami was sick therefore I was corect." Ren said proudly. I graoned. When I had told Ren she could say I told you so I meant to me not Zoro.

"Are you alright Namomi?" Sanji asked me. For once he didn't have heart eyes.

"Yeah just wondering when tose two idiots will get over themselves and start going out." I answered.

"Never would be my guess. Zoro's too stupid to figure out a girl actually likes him." Sanji told me.

"Want to bet on that?" Nami asked popping up out of nowhere. "I'm betting they get together sometime soon." And thus began the crew wide betting pool on how long it would take Zoro and Ren to get together.
