Hi guys! Sorry if I was days late. I'm just exhausted to the practices. Anyway, I graduated this Thursday so I failed to make this chapter. Hope ya' enjoy this one ;)

Thanks for those magnificent reviews. I'm so overwhelm to have you guys. You make me so inspired to write more.

Also, I cut Chapter 6 into two parts because I find it so lengthy for just a chapter. Enjoy! :)


Chapter 6: Part I

Zoro felt his hand throbbed as he touches the hips of the oh-so-gorgeous lady, Nico Robin. It is his first time to touch a woman. Seriously. Nico Robin didn't say anything. Furthermore, she seemed to love his touch. A warm feeling pleasured her body. Likewise, Robin touched his shoulders. This is the basic figure that they should observe from now on, Law said. Their dance will be the classical French dance, Minuet.

~But their dance will be somehow like this; search to youtube:

G. - Watermusic (PART II: Air-Menuet-Bourreé-etc.)

Since the beginning, Law started to eye the couples. The two seems so awkward with each other. Zoro can't look on Robin's eyes directly as well as Robin. Law realized that there is nothing to be worry about because they don't even talk and look to each other. Law threw his most evil smile. Meanwhile, his partner, Bonney, started to talked to him.

"Hi, Sir Law." She greeted as Law dipped her in a perfect timing.

"Why?" he asked. Supposed to be, Law should reply "Hello" or "Hi too" but replying "Why" disappoints Bonney. Law is really a not so approaching person, she thought. But still, Bonney managed to ask him.

"I'm just wondering... Why you kept on looking at "them"?"

"Them?" Law smirked.

"You know who are the "them". Don't make me mention it aloud, Sir." Bonney respond with her teasing smile.

Law refused to reply immediately. Instead, he produced a loud "tch" sound and chose the best words to irritate her. "The hell you care, lady? Just dance."

She felt her eye lid swelling and a tear suddenly dropped. She tried all her might to hide it and successfully she did. She is just trying to be friendly but what he did is totally embarassing and humiliating. Then, she decided that from now on, she will never talk to his rude, vicious, barbarous and immoral partner. Law is still as numb and ignorant as he was.

Law taught first the different basic figures that they will use. First one is the Lead-in Figure, which is a dance curving sideways to meet at back of space, then forward to middle, holding inside hands. Man wheels partner around 3/4, then both dance sideways to corner of space.

Second is the Z Figure, a dance sideways to other corner, then cross diagonally through middle of space, changing corners, then sideways to each other's previous corner.

Next is the Right-Hand Turn, it is from corner, a dance sideways to other corner, then diagonally to meet, taking right hands. Turn by right hand, then dance sideways back to corner.

Then, the Left-Hand Turn which just like the right-hand turn, but with left.

Lastly, the Two-Hand Turn and Ending from corner, a dance sideways to other corner, then forward to meet. Take two hands and turn. Keeping hands, dance sideways to back of space, opening out to face audience at end.

Minuet is a not that easy classical dance. It requires a lot of hardwork and trust to your partner. Due to his being the leader, Law made it perfectly with his partner, Bonney. Not hard, for them.

Tashigi and Sanji got the basic figures as well. Both are good and cooperative to each other. Shirahoshi and Bon Kurei is having a hard time on the Z Figure but eventually did it. Thanks to Bon Kurei's magnificent skills in dancing, Shirahoshi (though being a weak dancer) gets the dance perfectly. Likewise to Ace and Vivi, they got all exept the Z Figure. The most hardest, they thought. They took an hour to get it and they are so successful. Zoro and Robin is the reciprocal of Law and Bonney. They failed to perform ALL the figures. Up to Lead-in figure down to the Two-hand Turn and Ending. They are too shy to communicate to each other that is why they failed. Law noticed them.

"Having hard time,huh?" he said as he crossed his arms.

Robin meerely blinked her eyes. "K-kinda" she replied as she tried to dance sideways and forward. Zoro is too busy to entertain any remarks.

"R-Ronoa! You should turn first and get her hand!" Law called.

"I know! I'm trying!" Zoro said in a high pitch tone.

On the other side of the auditorium, there is Sanji who is currently drinking his energy drink and eyeing the practice of Zoro and Robin. At this time, Sanji and Tashigi is having their break because they got easily the basic steps. Sanji felt jealous of Zoro's hand in Robin's hips thingy and some close moments they have.

"Damn Lucky guy!" he said to himself. Suddenly, he saw Marco, the school paper photographer, who is currently taking pictures of the practice they are conducting. Marco noticed Sanji looking at him in a distant way. He took his camera and shot a picture of him. Sanji felt his eyebrow crooked.

"What the hell? I'm not readyyyy, Dude!"

Marco looked on his camera and laughed boisterously. "Yeah. I see your mouth open. HA-HA-HA. Don't worry. I'll delete it."

Sanji and Marco are friends since in 5th grade. "C'mon Dude, Tell me fist and I'll pose" Sanji said, laughing.

"I will make sure of that. Haha. Anyway, I have to eat first. Good luck, Sanji boy" Marco said and left the place.

Tashigi sat next to him and asked, "Marco seems to love photographs, huh?"

"Yeah. He's my friend." Sanji said and snatched his biscuit on his bag. He offered some to Tashigi but she refused.

"I don't know the sense. Just ¼ read the newspaper though the school give it for free. Poor photographer." She pitied.

Sanji also realized that. He never read the school newspaper ever since. He bite the circular cookie and replied at his partner. Yes. That is true. Reading school newspaper is boring. "I agree. Boring." He said.

"I don't know why the school is still prioritizing the newspaper. They didn't even realize that they are wasting money on it. Although after the distribution, they will just see the newspaper in trash bins or scattered everywhere on the floor. Weird."

"Yeah. Why should they post articles which are catchy and fun to read? All of their articles there are some political what ever."

"Right" Tashigi said and sighed.

After their conversation, Tashigi bid a farewell and said that she will be back later on. Sanji smiled. Why so concern? Is she concern on the newspaper or to Marco?

He took a glance again on the still practicing Zoro and Robin and found out that they are finally getting the basic figures with the help of Law. He again felt the "jealousy". Suddenly, an idea popped up on his mind.

"Camera+School Newspaper=Sanji love Robin!"

"Right!" He screamed. Again, he repeated, "Camera+School Newspaper=Sanji love Robin!"

And an evil plan was plotted on the back of his mind. Sanji evil smiled with his curly eyebrows began to be more curly as ever.

After the lunch, Robin and Zoro finally get the basic figures. All gave a sigh of relief.

"Congratulations!" Vivi cheered.

"Finally!" Shihoshi said.

All clapped for them except Bon Kurei who is currently shedding tears of joy.

Robin and Zoro just gave them a slant smile.


After 4 days of practing the figures of the dance, Law taught the series of the Minuet.

According to him, they should follow this steps. First one is to face your partner, the man bows to the woman and the woman curtsies to the man at the same time. Second, Facing forward, the lady places her left hand on the gentleman's right hand. Third, Using the right foot to start, both partners take small steps, right foot then left foot, then the right foot again. Point the left toes and tap them 3 times. Repeat the step sequence in Step 3 three times. Then, Face your partner again and curtsy or bow. Turn in the opposite direction and repeat steps 3, 4 and 5. Afterwards, continue adding more steps to the dance as you master these first few steps.

(Steps got from ehow; How to dance Minuet. 'Cause I dunno how to dance this. LOL)

Law kept on their minds;

"Do not rush this dance. It is a beautiful slow dance and should be treated that way. You will be dancing with many different partners as this dance is done usually in a group!"

Sanji's eyes sparkled. "Reallyyyyy?"

"Yes. That is how Minuet works." He said and gave a look to the pink covered dance book.

Robin sighed. "Much better" she said to herself then snatch a glare to the sweating Zoro. Robin blushed.

"I will just give the series of partner tomorrow because today, we will be with Sir Rayleigh for our first fitting to our ball dress." Law explained.

Silver Rayleigh is on the entrance of the school. He is patiently waiting for the Cotillion dancers.

"Rayleighhh-saaaan!" Shirahoshi called and hug Rayleigh.

"What a sweet princess!" he said.

The group smiled at him. Also, they noticed the two vans beside him. One is the color of the pearl and one is the raven red van. What is this for?, they thought. Rayleigh smiled.

"I know that faces. Anyway, Boys will ride on the red van at left. Girls on white van at right. I'll accompany the boys and my assistant, Shakky on girls." He said.

Then, Shakky waved a hand on them. Shakky is a tall, short-haired and pale woman. The girls greeted her.

Shakky winked as her reply. "Girls, we will be going to Emporio Armani agency for your dress. While boys are in Calvin Klein for their suits" she explained.

The group didn't moved. They are so shocked and speechless. The school is really a rich one. Of course, except to Nico Robin and other princesses who are just smiling. They are so accustomed to this type of dresses.


It is half past 3 when the girls arrived to the Emporio Armani agency. The agency is located on a glass-like-room building. The building is 13 storeys high and full of glasses. Breathtaking.

From the entrance, they saw a large woman with her large head, sports an afro of blue-purple hair, and long eyelashes.

"Is she a guy or girl?" Bonney asked as getting down the van.

"Did I just heard that I'm a guy?" The purple afro woman asked with her eyes flaming.

"N-n-nooo!" Bonney denied.

The woman is actually far from them but how did she get here so fast?, Bonney thought. The large woman eyed her in a very frightening way. Bonney looks so afraid.

"I beg your pardon, she didn't say anything, Madam" Robin said as she gets down to the van next to the freezing Bonney.

The large woman looked at her and smiled. "A'right, Madam Nico"

"Madam Nico?" the girls screamed.

"You knew each other?" Shakky asked.

Robin gave a sweet smile. "Emporio Ivankov is my mother's favorite designer."

Emporio Ivankov blushed. "Nico Olivia is my model, of course! Anyway, I'm Emporio Ivankov. My husand is Emporio Armani. I'm their top designer. I owe much to Silver Rayleigh so you are all here. I will be making you the most beautiful gown!"

They used the elevator to be get into Floor 18 which Iva's office is residing. As the elevator opened, they saw a 5 star hotel corridor with red carpet on the floor. Also, the big and shining chandellier caught their attention. Iva's office is located on the west wing of the floor. Iva first get their measurements. Afterwards, she already decides what will be the design of the dress.

First to be called is Tashigi. Iva browsed to the big wooden cabinet and got the strikingly elegant white dress. Tashigi opened her mouth in amazement.

"Tashigi's dress will be using satin as its fabric. Satin seems comfortable to you. Also, a Scoop Neckline only because you don't have big breasts..."

Tashigi look on her breast. "Not that small!" she cried.

"Did I say it's small? You will be using a Scoop Neckline. End of story. Also, Silhouette will be Mermaid."

Then, Bonney is next. Iva examined her body and instead on picking on the wooden cabinet, she picked on a thick old book.

"Jewelry Bonney, you have a fit body. A Gorgeous Mermaid One Shoulder Organza with Ruffles is suited to you." Iva said, offering the book to Bonney. Bonney looked at it, from the name itself, it is really a One Shoulder with Organza fabric dress. "This is a vey beautiful gown. Thanks Iva!"

Third is Shirahoshi.

"A princess should be elegant. Hmmm" Iva said as she rest her hand to her pointy chin.

"AH!" A Charming Off-Shoulder Lace Dress is fitted to you." Iva breathed out. She browsed again the wooden cabinet and a Organza fabric with V-Neckline shown. It is a gorgeous Lace dress with different Silhouette.

"Its Silhouette is A Line. Suited for princesses" Iva said.

Shirahoshi cried because of too much joy. "I love this one, Iva-sama. Thank you so much!" Then, she hugged it.

"Hey! Don't hug it. It is not yet yours, dummy!"

Shirahoshi cried out loud. "Sorrrryyy, Iva-sama!"

Next is Vivi, a princess as well. Iva looked on her hips first down to feet.

"Small hips,huh? Single strap Chiffon Layer Beading White Dress is for you. It may not emphasize your too small hips." Iva sly smiled and get other book from her table. Iva opened the book and show it to the Alabasta princess.

"A Column Silhouette! I love this, Iva! An splendid Alabastan gown, really!"

Lastly is Nico Robin.

Iva examined her whole body. Robin had a slim body, big breasts and long legs. Iva thought that Nico Robin has a different body from others who needs to conceal its imperfections. Robin is pure sexy. She doesn't need to conceal anything. As the matter of fact, she needed a dress that will emphasize rather than to conceal. Iva picked the book on her shelf. The book has a title "sensuous, flirty".

Robin raised an eyebrow.

"Nico Robin's dress will be Sexy V Neck With Top Layer Tulle Dress" Iva said as she showed the picture of the book.

Other girls tried to look on the unusual book too. A sparkle suddenly entered on each others eyes. An astonishing Spaghetti Strapped, Organzan fabric was shown. It is a simple dressed but amazingly elegant. All mouthed the word "Whoa"

Iva broke the silence. "This is a rare design for a rare beautiful body. It is my honor to make this for my bestfriend's daughter." Iva said.


As the ladies left the Emporio Armani agency, Ivankov immediately printed the picture of the compiled gowns of the five stunning ladies. Afterwards, she filed it in a folder with the name "New Project"

To see the picture that Ivankov printed, please read this;
