Anyway, about Bonney-Law partners on dance, I'm still thinking about it because I'm so sure that I will felt so jealous to Bonney. I do love Law so much! HAHAHA. He's mine XD. Haha. Kidding.

Chapter 5
2 days after the release of result on the Audition held days ago for Cotillion
*Section 4A*
Brook raised an eyebrow as he heard the ridiculous answer of the "wisest of the wise", Black Leg Sanji. Brook cannot literally raised an eyebrow due to his unusual physical appearance (Him, being a skeleton person who does not have skin) but on what Sanji answered to his question, it seems that impossible could turn to be possible that time that made the skeleton raised an eyebrow though he doesn't even have single hair on his body.
"Are you sure that cello is pronounced as "selo" rather than "chelo" Yohohoho!" he asked for the last time.
Sanji touched the tip of his loopy eyebrow ang played on it a little.
"I'm very much sure!" he answered proudly.
The whole class seemed to react to his senseless remark.
"Class! Quiet! I'm asking Sanji" Brook requested.
The class ignored their bony teacher and kept on reacting so much to Sanji's-Thesaurus-How-to-Pronounce-a-word. Every class often do that to Brook. He isn't a kind of teacher that student must be afraid of. He is too kind and cheerful and that made him spoil his students. It is not him being the adviser of a poor disastrous class nor him being so kind and funny but rather, it is because of the subject he us teaching. Music, they think, is a not that important subject which you can still pass even without reviewing and hitting some books.
Brook tried to calm down his unmanageable students but he always fails. He doesn't even know why he put in charge on the section whose students are rebellious and wild. He just don't understand why. He obviously don't have the ideal commanding skills to make everyone listen and follow him. Brook is always calm, funny and kind teacher. He pitied himself and sighed.
"Class. Be quiet!" he tried for the last time.
Still, Section 4A remained on its state of calamity.
"WHAT THE F? IT IS "SELLO", IDIOT!" Sanji yelled.
"Dude. "CHELO"! You, Moron!" Smoker scolded.
And the class continued bargaining.
On the corner of his eyeless eyeballs, he saw Nico Robin sitting quietly on her chair. She is currently reading a brown hard covered book and seemed not so interested on joining on cello scandal.
"Who's the President? Yohoho" Brook asked.
Robin stopped on reading and felt kind of irritated because of the disturbance. She frowned.
"No! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to bother you!" he said in a worried tone.
"Ah! Don't need to apologize, Sir. Do you need something?" She said as she closed her book.
Brook shook his head. "I can't control your class. I need a help from your president. Who's your President, Miss Nico Robin?"
Robin smiled. "I'm afraid, Sir. Trafalgar Law is not around since morning."
Brook remained motionless. "Oh. How unfortunate. Thank you!"
Suddenly, a knock disturbed the whole class. They stopped yelling and arguing and go to their seat in dash at once. They are all thinking the same thing; That the one knocking is their level coordinator or one of the Council of leaders or perhaps the Principal himself? Not impossible. Yes! They are the star section and those kind of visitors aren't impossible.
They heard the tickling of the clock while waiting the door to swing open. It is Law Trafalgar wearing a Nike Jogging pants and a succulent Nike pro combat core compression shirt that made the mold of the curves of his abs exposed. His hair is a bit messy too but this made him so freaking Hot, indeed.
Brook whistled. "Oohh! Hot President! Yohohohoho!"
Law ignored him and announced loudly;
"For the accepted dancers for Cotillion. The first Practice is today. Please be in the auditorium immediately. That's all!" he said and continued...
"Also, please be kind to Sir Brook. The noise is clearly heard from afar. I will suspend ya' all if I'll still hear those damn commotions!"
"Ok. That's all" Law said as he brutally shut the door. The class meerly closed an eye due to the loud "bang" that the door produced. After that, they also shut their mouth and refrain on making even just a tiny little sound.
10 minutes after... *On School's Auditorium*
The Auditorium is one of the asset of PAEB. It is a well ventilated and amazing room. It is jut like the "Colleseum" of Rome, Italy but the differences are it is a close and with an air condition room. Classy. The Auditorium is not that big like the Gymnasium but the size is just perfect for being an opera house. A size that could project sound all over the room. Really Classy and Sassy.
Almost all of the accepted dancers are there. The excited Vivi, the currently eating Bonney, the smirking Tashigi, the currently reading Robin, the looking afraid Shirahoshi, the crying Bon Kurei, the evil smiling Sanji, the talkative Ace and the eyebrow raiser Law are all there except for one, Zoro Roronoa.
"1..2...5...7...8" Law started to count. "and 9, including me"
Sanji produced a "tch" sound. "Roronoa!"
At the same time, they heard a voice from afar. "Sorry I'm late! I was asleep when Law announced it on our section." Zoro said as he hurriedly approached the stage where his groupmates are dwelling.
"Just on time" Law sighed. "Please take your seat."
Zoro cannot find a vacant seat so he sat from the 3rd row after Robin's. Robin felt a strange tickle on her stomach.
"Good. We're complete. Before anything else, we will first pick a partner. Me and the principal decided that it will not be assigned but rather, picking." Law started his discussion.
"Picking in manner that you will pick on the folded papers in this bottle and whomever name was written on your chosen paper, he/ she will be your partner. I decided that the girls are the one who'll do the honor of picking." He said and get the colorful bottle on his bag.
Vivi is the first to pick. Second is Tashigi. Third, Bonney. Fourth, Shirahoshi and Robin is the last.
They all heard their hearts beating from inside. Who will be your partner is your partner in this entire year. Your names will be always attached to each other as one name will be entered in a conversation. Not only that, holding hands, holding hips, moving face closely to partner's face, all would happen. Picking a partner is a serious issue.
Tashigi first revealed the name. "Sanji-kun"
Sanji felt his heart breaks. He knew that with his name written on Tashigi's. He will never have a chance to be with Robin.
Zoro and Law unexpectedly gave a sigh of relief.
Shirahoshi was the second. "It is... Bon Kurei" she happily said.
Ironically to what Shirahoshi feels is the current feeling of Bon Kurei. He is sobbing. He wanted to be a girl and be paired with a man. He wanted to quit but he can't. His three hot crushes was with him right now and he just can't let go that "big" opportunity of looking at them the whole time.
Bonney is the next. "Ah! Trafalgar-kun"
Law threw a fake smile. He felt so disappointed. But why? Why? Why?
"Do I want to be with Robin? Why I felt this way?" he asked himself.
But he left that thought and began worrying.
"What if he got Ace's name? Or Zoro's? Ace has a big name in school. Hot and a gentleman, that's Ace! It is possible that Robin and Ace developed feelings for each other. And Zoro, one of the "hotties" and known as Robin's tuties as well. Feelings will be possibly developed between Zoro and Robin."
Law felt his hands throbbed. This made him realized something. I like her. I like Nico Robin. From the very first time he saw her, he knew that he found her very attractive but he tried denying it. The first time she smiled at him, he velt very happy yet nervous. Everytime she's around, he felt conscious but good. His days cannot be completed without her. He just realized that He like her.
On the other hand, Zoro felt butterflies on his stomach.
"What if Robin will be his partner? He will all have the chance to hold her hands and her body. Many would be so jealous at him. What if not?"
Zoro worried as well about Ace-Robin pair ups.
Robin revealed the name she picked. "Zoro" she said flatly, almost emotionless.
Law and Zoro froze.
"Well. Vivi and me, I guess?" Ace said, smiling at his groupmates.
"Yeah." Vivi replied after she opened her folded paper.
Zoro met Robin's eyes. They both looked nervous. Zoro forced a smile.
"Our first practice will start after lunch. For now, you may look on the outfit delivered by Nike. Our "beloved" principal provided us those apparels. E-enjoy." He explained to them and left the auditorium immediately after getting a big box from the back stage.
Bon Kurei and Vivi scremead. "NIKEEEEEEEEE! Oh my gosh!"
The two opened the box and saw different kind of clothes with Dri-FIT fabrics. The Nike Dri-FIT fabrics are part of a group of FIT fabrics developed by Nike to each serve a specific function. That is why Nike is known as an excellent sportswear. Tennis players like Federer and Sharapova used this garments from Nike. As well as the ex no. 1 on highest paid athletes, Tiger Woods used Nike as his sportswear. Also Sofia Boutella, a famous street and hip hop dancer, used this. Nike is really a well known brand.
(I do look like advertising. Haha. But not really. Sorry bout that. I'm just so fascinated to Nike because I played tennis before and used Nike as my sportswear. Haha)
"Nike. Cool!" Ace breathed out and joined the girls digging on the box.
"This will be mine!" Vivi said as she spread out the folded dress. Vivi's chosen dress is breathtakingly superb. It is a Nike Borderline sky blue tennis dress with V neckline.
Tashigi chose a Nike Pro compression which is a black jacket-like top and a black body shaping capris as her bottom.
"Good taste" Robin said as she saw Tashigi's outfit.
Shirahoshi picked the pink Nike cruiser with the word, "Pretty fast", embedded to it and chose the black and pink Nike's Dri-FIT lined woven running skirt as her bottom.
Next to pick is Bonney. She appointed the radiant Nike's luxe layered tank top with a polyster as its fabric and a seasonal woven tennis pants.
Due to "No choice" situation, Nico Robin got the last dress which is a white Maria statement slam tank which is a Tennis tank top. Robin unfolded the top and an impressive design was revealed. She read the small word description written below the plastic;
Inspired by tennis star Maria Sharapova and designed for great range of motion, the Maria Statement Slam Women's Tennis Tank Top features stretchy, sweat-wicking fabric and built-in support.
"Lucky! I didn't know that it is beautiful!" Vivi cried out.
Also, her bottom will be the fit Nike tempo board shorts.
For the boys, Ace first to choose because obviously, he is the most interested among them. Having Nike clothes will make other guys jealous at him. He chose the Black Nike Stadium sweatshirt and a livestrong stretch woven training pants.
Pleading for some more "girly" outfits, Bon Kurei digged the box and almost destroyed it. Luckily, even he doesn't see a good girly top, he saw the Nike Race day shorts which is not like the usual shorts that is below knee. It is a size of a boxer that Bon Kurei loved. He chose the blue Nike Co Fleece hoodies as his top.
Sanji picked up the first outfit he saw and seemed not to care more on his looks because of disappointment. He picked the red Nike Dri FIT UV Assymetrical which is a Tennis Polo and a black with red stripes Nike Phenom 11" Stretch woven running shorts.
Like his partner, Zoro is also last to choose. And due to "no choice" situation, he is forced to get the Nike Pro Combat core tight which will obviously revealed the molds of his perfect compact abs. It is just like Law's outfit but the differences are the color and sleeves. Law have sleeves while he, sleeveless. The color of his was gray and Law was black. His bottom will be the the Medium Gray Nike's stadium cuffed pants.
After picking, they left the auditorium right away to try on their splendid Nike shirts.
The second and the last bell declares that lunch is over. Nico Robin hurriedly go back to the auditorium because she knew that she is going to be late. First practice will start exactly on first bell. Also, she is already wearing the Nike shirt that she chose a while ago with her hair pinned. It seems the dress is too small to his size but she seemed to manage it. It is just the dress became so fit to her.
As she open the door of the auditorium, she saw her groupmates patiently waiting to her. And, she also saw Silver Rayleigh, the principal. Yes, Robin knew him before. Due to her very good performance on the entrance exam, it happened that Robin was requested to visit the principal and gave his blessing to her.
"Nico Robin. Good to see you again!" Silver Rayleigh greeted.
Her groupmates looked at her in a "hey, why you know each other" way.
"Aye. Likewise, Sir" Robin said, smiling.
Rayleigh smiled at her and sitted. "You may take your sit. I have to say something"
All followed what he said and Rayleigh started. He first cleared his throat.
"Okay. So, You are the Cotillion dancers. I equipted you with a high class apparels simply because you are all special. Yes. Special. You, guys, will represent our school to the competition."
"Competition?" they wondered.
"I signed up our school to a competition. This will test our school's academic and talent performance. Our school needed to be the top 1. Do you understand?"
The dancers nodded.
"In your promenade, different representatives from different schools will be there. Please give them the best you got. Okay? I'm counting on you." Rayleigh said and stood up to the red operetta chair.
The dancers nodded again.
"Trafalgar, you are in charge. If you need something, let me know. I will prioritize this group." He continued.
"I will do, Sir" Law replied.
Silver Rayleigh started to examine the group. He started to the left which is Shirahoshi up to the last which is Nico Robin. "Nice picking of group, Law" he breathed out.
"Miss Shirahoshi is the princess of Fishman Island. I knew your father, Neptune." Rayleigh started.
Shirahoshi blushed.
"Bon Kurei, a scintillating dancer. I once watched your performance on the Cow Palace. You did very great. I expect you to help Trafalgar. Okay?"
Bon Kurei blushed more intensely. "Ah! What a sweet white man! I will, Sir!" he said and winked at Trafalgar Law. Law started to feel his stomach aching.
"Vivi! Again, a Princess from Alabasta! All seems to be royal here. Next, Portgas D. Ace. Luffy's brother, huh? Your brother is a bit troublesme. Well. I heard your name before from screaming girls. You are pretty popular, huh?"
Ace just gave him a sly smile.
Rayleigh continued giving his remarks. "And, Tashigi. Sophomore, right? Then, Sanji. A good cook. Your Technology and Livelihood teacher gave me a dish made by yours. Your delectable Fish Fillet to be specific. I do like it so much! Please make some again if you are not busy. Heeh"
The Principal's complements made him proud that he actually screamed his long rehearsed "YES!"
The kind principal smiled. "And Bonney. A bright student from 3A. Good luck to your studies. I wish you'll be in 4A as well. Next, Roronoa. I heard your name after your audition. I'm glad you did well. I'm just hoping that you will not make any rampage again, ok? I didn't mean to put you in C Class. But this might serve as a lesson from both of you."
Zoro raised an eyebrow. He knew what the principal is talking about. He and Luffy is the both. His group mates looked at him, wondering.
"None of your business" he said.
They look all disappointed. Why so secretive?, they thought. Rayleigh shook his head.
"Nico Robin! I am so interested to your bloodline. Archeologists."
"Thank you, Sir" she said. "I am as well, Sir Silver" she continued.
After that, Rayleigh nodded to Law and left the auditorium. Law stood up and clapped his hands.
"Lets get this party started!"
