Hi Guys! Sorry if I was days late. I cannot go online during Holy Week. Anyway, I made this chapter into two parts. But much shorter than a usual chapter that I am making. Enjoy! I'll update this week as well =D
Chapter 7A
It has been 2 weeks since they started practicing. All good turned into almost perfect. Zoro and Robin are already coping with each other and they made a big progress which is to communicate to each other. Law and the others are great as well.
5 days ago, they started practicing the part where they will switch partners. Sanji was indeed, so happy. He started talking to Robin while flipping her in his arms.
"I'm just wondering" he asked.
Robin fixed her eyes at him.
"Well…. Forget it." He said, sighing.
Sanji doesn't know what to say anyway. It is better to keep his mouth shut until that fateful day.
It is time for Law and Robin as partners.
Law held her arm and felt a strange thrill. He heard the loud beat of his heart in his ears.
"Why so shaking, huh?" Robin asked as she smiled teasingly at him.
Law froze. He just can't tell her that he is as nervous with her as his partner. Later on, Robin heard a whispered reply.
"Nervous, I bet!" Bonney winked while dancing with Ace. Law seemed to overhear it.
"What? No, of course!" Law shrieked in terror.
Robin laughed as she made quick twisted gestures above Law's raised arm.
"You look so troubled, Trafalgar. Just ignore that" she said, smiling.
Law just smiled back but on his head he knew that he was pissed off. He gave Bonney his ferocious death glare.
This means war, as he indicates on those dead black eyes.
After that incident, Bonney always tries so hard to avoid talking to either Law or Robin.
Current day
Law already felt comfortable prancing with Robin unlike the first day that he felt really awkward. All are near to perfect.
Sanji's fateful day happened 2 days before the Cotillion. It is a warm afternoon in school's mini park. Today was half day so they are the only one who was left in school. Also except to those multiple security guards who are roaming round to ensure safety and to some faculty members who are compiling some records. Surprisingly, there was also Marco, the school photographer.
"Why are you here?" Law asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Doing my job" he said confidently and gave a shot of Law's handsome face with his Lumix professional camera.
Law shook his head.
"Just stay out of my way" he said as he pushed him away.
"Who he think is he, the King Bee?" Marco whispered, irritated. As he go to the bench near the practicing area. Suddenly, he heard his name.
"MARCOOO!" Sanji screamed while waving a hand. His eyes were sparkling to death.
"Hey Sanj!" he greeted.
Marco got multiple shots of the dancers while practicing. He got the group's first pose and last pose. He have Ace's big smile pictures, Vivi's winking pictures, Bon's striking poses pictures, Zoro's handsome serious look pictures, Robin's pretty smiles when she misses steps pictures, Shirahoshi's doll-like face pictures, Bonney's smirking but gorgeous pictures and Law's sweating but indeed, super hot pictures. He is already imagining his name embedded on the school's newspaper.
Marco the phoenix, the photographer.
Also, he imagined himself being greeted as he passes on the school's hallway.
"Hey! Is that Marco?" greeted by the man with long black hair.
"Yeah! He is great! I love your shots, man!" said by another.
"I love your shots on the Cotillion rehearsal!" complimented by the group of girls in the hallway.
"Yeah! You did great!" screamed by another group.
And Marco will just laugh on their too much compliments. He just wanted to be famous on his excellent photographs.
"This is the right time." Sanji thought.
His plan was simple as this:
When the time that Robin and Zoro is about to switch partners, he will immediately go to their place and trip Robin going to his next partner which is Bon Kurei. After that, he will catch Robin in exactly when Law and Zoro are currently at their back finding their next partners. Marco will surely have that shot and publish to the newspaper. It may become the year's big headline!
Black Leg Sanji and Nico Robin: Sweethearts?
"Ohhhh! I will be your Knight and Shining armor!" Sanji excitedly said.
All were calculated, he evil laughed on his mind.
And the time of substituting partners has finally arrived. Nico Robin started to find his new partner Bon Kurei. Sanji started to caper near to her for him to be able to trip her and catch her easily. But then, Sanji got confused when he saw Robin who is currently lost to herself.
Damn. She can't see Bon Kurei, Sanji thought.
Robin started to panic. She walked like a drunkard on the street. She kept on turning left then right, vice versa. Law and Zoro seem so alarmed.
Snap! Bon Kurei asked a permission awhile ago to go to the restroom! CRAP!
Zoro is the first one to approach the confused Robin. When Sanji saw that Zoro is very near, he begun running as fast as he can.
"H-hey. Bon is currently on the comfort room." Zoro said, smiling.
"Oh!" Robin said as her cheeks flushed in red. Well, she's always like this when Zoro will talk to her. She doesn't know. It all started when Zoro smiled at her during the audition day. She really gone so pale.
"Oh my, am I really in love?" she thought with a loud thump coming from her heart.
Suddenly, she saw Sanji who is running uncontrollably fast coming exactly at her. She is just like WHAT THE FUDGE?
On the other hand, Sanji cannot control anymore his speed. Unexpectedly, he bumped on her. Robin should be the only one who will fall and Sanji will catch her. But all turns in other way, they are both falling. Sanji's glorious plan turn in to a very unpleasant nightmare.
Zoro was so shocked. He saw Robin in a slow motion manner. He stare deeply on her angelic face. Started to her serious eyes down her lips. Oh! I want to kiss her!
When he arrived on those thoughts, he turned into stone. His hands throbbed. He just remained to where he is standing. He wanted to save her from falling to the cold rocky ground but he is paralyze to death. All he can do is to close his eyes.
After a second, Zoro opened his eyes weakly.
He saw Law holding Robin's fine body.
*thump*
Trafalgar's arms on his beloved's hips.
*thump*
Trafalgar's arms wrapped in to his beloved.
*thump*
He gone pale like a corpse. Meanwhile, he saw small light coming from the distant way. Probably, the flash from Marco's professional camera. And that is the last thing he saw as he lost his consciousness.
