A/N: Another request from Francis Wolfang! Thank you ^-^


Once Upon a Time...

Three little kittens,
They lost their mittens,
And they began to cry,
Oh, mother, dear,
We sadly fear,
Our mittens we have lost...

"Why do you guys have diamond studded mittens on when it's ridiculously hot today?" Sanji asked the three clowns of the crew, Luffy, Usopp and Chopper.

"I really don't know," Usopp answered.

"Nami gave them to us for some reason," Chopper said.

"Shiny…" Luffy sighed, enchanted by the mitten's diamonds.

"Why did my beloved Nami-swan give you louts diamond mittens?" Sanji asked enviously.

Usopp and Chopper shrugged, Luffy continued drooling over the diamonds bizarrely.

Sanji sighed and sulked his way back to the galley to start preparing lunch.

The three resumed gawking over their mittens, but as the sun cast its unrelenting heat down on the Thousand Sunny, their hands overheated, and the three had to take their mittens off.

As the day continued, Luffy, Usopp and Chopper forgot about their mittens and left them on the lawn deck. As the ship rocked back and forth, it slid the mittens along the deck until they were concealed by the shadows under the swing set.

Usopp was in his workshop along with Franky.

"Long-nose bro, what happened to those mittens you guys were wearing earlier?" Franky noted the absence of diamonds.

"Oh, I forgot about them, maybe we should just give them back to Nami," Usopp said, and walked out of the workshop and looked around on the deck for the mittens.

He checked everywhere, even under the sleeping swordsman, but they were nowhere to be found.

Usopp swallowed back panic, if the mittens had fallen over board, Nami would be pissed.

Usopp went looking for the other two who owned the mittens and found them in the galley.

Luffy was holding a spoonful of peanut butter just above Chopper's nose.

"Luffy, what are you doing?" Usopp asked.

Chopper took the spoon from Luffy's hand, "I'm giving Chopper peanut butter," Luffy smiled.

Chopper took a small bite from the spoon and licked the roof of his mouth, over and over and over again.

Usopp and Luffy laughed as the troubled reindeer continued to lick the peanut butter from the roof of his mouth, "It's really sticky."

Usopp remembered what he was trying to tell the other two, "You guys, I can't find the mittens that Nami gave us."

"Chopper attempted to ask 'What?' but was choked off by peanut butter.

"I guess we'll just have to tell Nami we lost them," Luffy shrugged.

"Are you nuts? We can't do that! Nami will beat the crap out of us, make us work the debt off like slaves, and never let us borrow anything ever again!" Usopp yelled.

Luffy raised an eyebrow, "All for some mittens?"

"They were diamond studded," Usopp stressed, "We're just going to lie, say we have the mittens, okay?"

"You know I can hear you guys, right?" Sanji said, watching the ribs he was grilling.

"Shit," Chopper squeaked through his mouth full of peanut butter.

Usopp dived to the ground and begged Sanji, "Please don't tell Nami, please, please please!"

"I won't say anything, but Nami-san is going to find out," Sanji said, flipping the ribs.

Usopp sighed and took the other two out of the galley and made them look for the mittens again.

Lunch soon came around, and the three clowns remained abnormally quiet.

"Luffy, what happened to the mittens I loaned you?" Nami asked calmly.

"Ah, we lost them," Luffy answered, stealing the last of the ribs from Franky's plate.

What! Lost your mittens,

you naughty kittens!
Then you shall have no pie."
Meeow, meeow, meeow, now we shall have no pie…

"You lost them!" Nami roared.

Usopp and Chopper whimpered.

"And for desert, I made some pie," Sanji declared as he set three different flavors of pie on the table.

Luffy attempted to reach for a slice, but Nami stuck a fork in his hand.

"Ow, what was that for?" Luffy exclaimed, cradling his bleeding hand.

"You guys can't have any pie until you find my mittens!" Nami demanded.

"We lost them though," Luffy whined.

The three little kittens they found their mittens,
And they began to cry,
Oh mother dear, see here, see here
For we have found our mittens…

"Are you talking about these?" Robin asked, pulling three pairs of mittens from her pocket.

"You had them?" Usopp, Chopper and Luffy asked in unison.

"I found them under the swing set, they aren't very clean anymore," Robin stated and gave them the dirty mittens.

Put on your mittens, you silly kittens
And you shall have some pie
Meeow, meeow, meeow,
Now let us have some pie.
The three little kittens put on their mittens
And soon ate up the pie,
Oh mother dear, we greatly fear
That we have soiled our mittens…

"That means we can have some pie!" Luffy cheered and ate the last pieces of the pie.

"We wanted some… too," Usopp sighed.

What! soiled you mittens, you naughty kittens!
Then they began to cry, Meeow, meeow, meeow
Then they began to sigh.
The three little kittens they washed their mittens
And hung them out to dry,

"You guys, the mittens are all covered in dirt," Nami said, trying to wipe the grime off the mittens, "You guys need to wash them."

The three sighed and took the mittens back. They then went to the wash room, cleaned their mittens and hung them up outside to dry.

Oh mother dear, do you not hear
That we have washed our mittens.
What! washed your mittens, you are good kittens.
But I smell a rat close by,
Meeow, meeow, meeow we smell a rat close by...

"Thanks for cleaning the mittens up, but don't expect me to loan anything to you anymore," Nami smiled.

Chopper sniffed the air, "Do you guys smell something strange?"

The other three sniffed the air, and suddenly a yellow rat ran up to them.

"Pikachu!" It yelled and shocked the four.

The end…


A/N: Don't ask why Nami loaned them mittens, let alone diamond studded mittens.

The Chopper licking peanut butter idea is from my sister :D

And I randomly thought of pikachu at the end because I am also playing Pokemon Sould Silver (- nerd)

I think I only have a few stories left, and the last one will be Alice in Wonderland, so if you have any other requests, now would be a great time to ask them!

Thanks for reading!
