Fine, she thought, if he wants to be a jerk than so be it. She glanced at the mouth of the cave - the snow had stopped long ago.

It had been a long hour and a half, that's for sure. Luffy had limited responses to her as well as eye avoidance. She was getting agitated because all he could do was sit there, twiddle his thumbs, tap his knees, thrum his fingers across the floor, change position or something else that was just...distracting! It was getting harder and harder to ignore her captain's anxiousness by the minute.

Was it anxiousness? She didn't know, all she knew was that he practically giving her the cold shoulder and she was fed up with his behavior. "Go have an adventure or something," Nami said, "I don't want to deal with your irritating impatience. I can take care of myself. Just don't fall into any water any time soon - I don't feel like getting soaked all over again."

"Yada," Luffy flat out refused, but didn't ellaborate.

"Well, why not?" Nami said, standing and placing her hands on her hips.

"Because I want you to go with me," he replied, "you're my navigator - I'll get lost."

Nami face-palmed; it was true, her captain had a no better sense of direction than their idiot swordsman. So that's why he was so impatient. He was waiting for her jacket to dry. That should have been a given. She walked over to her jacket and picked it up - it was warm on one side, but it was cold on the other - yet dry. She sighed. "I suppose my jacket is dry enough," she mumbled. No sooner had she said that she was being forced into her jacket and rushed to the mouth of the cave.

"Hurry, Nami!" Luffy whined, "I wanna' see the island!" It was obvious that he was impatient and even more obvious that he didn't want to wait for her but was forcing himself to anyway.

Nami shook her head at his antics. "Luffy," Nami said, "you have GOT to be the most silliest captain I've ever met." He didn't seem to have heard her because he was standing on a low-hanging branch that stuck out from the trees that surrounded the cave near the back. She sighed again and took a look around. Everything was covered in white - it was practically silent. Keyword: Practically. The air was cold and her breaths came out in puffs as she tried to quickly catch up with her nakama. She had just reached his side before he decided to propel himself through the air into a large pile of snow. Nami cringed when he went head first into a log, half his body sticking out from the snow. "Luffy," Nami giggled when he came out of his hole with a plop, "that's why we LOOK before we LEAP."

He gave her a widening grin before struggling out of the hole and running forward to climb up another tree. "Luffy, go up higher and see if you can see the Sunny anywhere out there."

"Yosh!" He said with a mocking salute before scurrying up the trees. A few branches broke and twisted, falling to the ground in crumpled little heaps. She looked around on the ground. She rose an eyebrow, thinking. Other than Luffy's crazed footsteps that went in circles on the ground, there weren't any animal tracks of any kind. She supposed it was possible that the animals had all gone into hiding because of the winter. They call all be hibernating for all she knew. It just...it didn't sit well with her for some reason. There should be some sort of animal tracks like a dear or snow bear or something. It couldn't just be all barren. There weren't even any traces of birds or rabbits. Just...cool, blank snow.

Then she remembered and felt like whacking herself upside the head. It had been snowing rather heavily when they arrived on the island and had continued to snow throughout the night. It was, once again, common sense - the obvious was right in front of her and she hadn't even noticed. Maybe she was just a bit scatterbrained from nearly losing Luffy and then practically freezing to death and everything else...the snow had covered all signs of life.

Luffy came down from the top of the trees with a sigh. "Sunny isn't out there," Luffy commented. "Maybe it's on the other side of the island?" He asked.

"Maybe," Nami said, "Well, let's get going with this adventure of yours, Luffy. The more land we cover, the better our chances are of finding more shelter and the more likely we will come across Sunny."

Luffy nodded and led the way. Nami could only hope that they didn't cross some more snow fall. It didn't take them long before they had reached a quiet meadow. A few deer were shuffling snow out of the way to get to the long since dead grass beneath. "Look, deer," Nami said with a smile. Luffy looked oblivious but when she added another word, "Meat," he couldn't control himself and went barreling after the fawn that freaked out after his loud exclamation of meat. She went running and he frowned, his stomach growling.

Nami giggled at her captain's childish antics before shaking her head. "You scared it off, Luffy," Nami said.

"But...I'm hungry," he said with a frown, rubbing his tummy and acting like he was starving to death.

Truth be told, he probably was. Nami wasn't quite sure how much time had passed since the two had washed ashore, but she was going to do her best to care for her captain. After all, that's what she told him, right? The crew cares for the captain as well as the rest of the crew, right? Nami shook her head to clear her thoughts. She then remembered - she lost her scarf. She had tried so hard to keep up with that scarf only for it to get lost anyway. She supposed it didn't really matter, so long as they were alive. She was also glad that she had found the captain. Who knows what would have happened if he were to have drowned. Not to mention, if she were washed up on shore alone...she'd probably have died. Whether it be from drowning or from hypothermia, either way, she would have died. She was glad she had someone with her...even if said someone was currently picking his nose and attempting to fling it at an unknown target, only for it to get stuck on his finger.

Nami grimaced. Yep. That always did inwardly gross her out. You would think she'd be used to it by now. Well, she was, but it still grossed her out.

Nami stepped up over a fallen log, but hadn't expected the snow to give under her pressure and she slid. She screamed and soon found herself to be sliding down what looked to be a rather steep hill. "Luffy!" She exclaimed. She was on her butt, sliding down in the snow.

Luffy turned around, only to see the last of Nami's orange hair disappear behind a log. Immediately, he raced after her before he, too, was sliding down the snow on his back. "YAHOOOO!" He exclaimed in excitement. Eventually, he caught up to Nami, who was just a couple of inches in front of him.

"This isn't fun, Luffy!" Nami screamed as they were suddenly trying to dodge several trees that got into their paths. Nami could feel the snow building up in her jacket and falling down into her skirt. It was definitely cold, but not so cold as to make her feel like she was going to get frost bite or anything. She screamed again when she disappeared into what was a tunnel of some sort and closed her eyes in case she hit a wall or something, but instead, she came speeding out the other end. She looked up and saw that it had just been a hollow log. Luffy's grinning face just disappeared inside before he popped out as well.

Nami looked forward again, only to come face-to-face with...a tree. Her body was firmly planted on tree. And just as she rubbed her face, she went flying forward again from Luffy smacking into her. His head flew passed hers and straight into the tree...where it got stuck. Nami groaned. "Luffy, that hurt!" She exclaimed with her face squished between his chest and the tree. Luffy pulled his head free from the tree and rubbed it to get the wood pieces off before backing off from the tree and helping Nami to her feet. "Let's do that again!" He exclaimed, trying to run back up the hill.

Nami immediately grabbed onto his collar and yelled, "I don't think so!" He made a bunch of noises of disappointment behind her before allowing her to drag him onward. Eventually, he got tired of being dragged so had, instead, opted for standing and walking behind her.

Nami was trying to shake the snow out of her hair and clothes, so she was grateful when Luffy suddenly decided to walk on his own, meaning, she now had two free hands. "So, now we know that there are animals on this island, therefore, we won't go hungry," Nami said happily. It was true, she was more used to eating veggies, but if she had to she would eat those poor defenseless animals, you know, in order to survive.

Nami blinked. Where on earth were they? She looked down and saw that at her feet, there was ice. Luffy didn't notice her stop and he continued walking, only to end up running in place and trying to stay balanced. He fell flat on his face and slid a couple of inches. Nami swore he had never looked so hilarious as he did at that moment. His butt was sticking up in the air and his arms were spread out as if he were trying to fly or something. His chin was on the ice as he took everything in.

Nami couldn't help it. She outright laughed. He was such a goof-ball! Nami giggled when he tried to get up, only to succeed in getting to his hand and knees before he slid to the ground again. "The water's iced over, Luffy," she giggled, "and from the looks of it, it's stable enough to walk on."

"Nami...I can't walk on it," he mumbled.

Nami grinned. Poor Luffy. Maybe she should help him. He managed to get to his feet this time, but then, he started running backwards, or at least that's what it looked like, before he fell back and slid a few inches backward.

On second thought...she said as she took a seat beneath a tree...perhaps this could prove as a little bit of entertainment.

So, that was an interesting chapter, huh?

Okay I'm sorry! I know what you're thinking - You were supposed to update last week! You LIED TO YOUR READERS! - It's not my fault! I swear! Okay, it kinda is. Last Sunday I got bored after writing the first half of this chapter so I set it aside to try and watch some episodes of OP so I can at least ATTEMPT to get with the times. I am now on episode 74, or at least...I think it's ep. 74. Anyway, that's what I was doing that day. Then, after a while, I got bored and started looking at different music and then checking my e-mails and then doing chores and then going back to my story, but by then...I had sorta lost interest...HOWEVER...the day afterward, I immediately got straight back to work with this chapter. Unfortunately, every time I wanted to write something, I drew up a blank.

So now I'm back again. I actually finished this chapter around 5:30, but my mother suddenly decided she wanted to go to a parade that was happening downtown and I had to hurry up and get dressed. Unfortunately, it was so jam-packed, we ended up going to the movies and a couple of interestingly/hilariously weird things happened. Hm. Go figure.

But yeah, my ideas are flowing non-stop right now, so you can more than likely expect a second chapter before the end of the night is over.

Review please!
