A/N: Another request from Taryn Streambattle, Arigatō, (that was some badass Japanese right there :P)
So this is an AU drabble, Zoro and Nami are kids, and everyone else is their original age.
Once Upon a Time…
The two kids watched their mother walk down the pathway and to her car. The rain blurred their vision through the window.
Zoro, the older brother, sighed, "I guess we can't go outside to play today."
Nami, the younger sister, also sighed, "And we're stuck in here until our mom gets back."
"Your mom will only be gone for a couple of hours, why don't you just watch some TV?" Their babysitter, Robin, suggested.
"I'm just going to go draw something," Nami stated and headed for her room.
"I don't watch TV, I'd rather play sports," Zoro sulked, still staring out the window.
"No worries, I can help ease your boredom," A voice came from outside the front door.
An older boy came in uninvited, and paraded toward the living room.
"I guess your mom forgot to lock the door," Robin observed.
"Who are you?" Zoro asked, slightly anxious that a stranger just came strolling in.
"I'm Luffy, and I'm going to be king of the pirates!" Luffy bellowed.
"Pirate?" Robin asked.
"I mean, I wanted to play a game," Luffy stuttered.
"What kind of a game?" Nami asked.
"I don't know… oh! Let's see how many things I can juggle while standing on a ball!" Luffy grinned and found a basketball that was lying next to the front door.
He stood on it with ease and prepared himself to juggle. "Throw some stuff to me," Luffy asked.
"I don't think that's a very good idea," Robin warned. The kids chose to ignore their babysitter and found random items around the room to throw to Luffy.
Soon enough Luffy was juggling everything small enough in the house: remotes, pillows, a picture frame, coasters, lamps, and even an expensive vase.
"Luffy, you're going to eventually drop those things, and fall on your face. You might even be stabbed by a large shard from the vase," Robin warned once again.
"Why are you so morbid?" Nami asked, slightly disturbed.
Suddenly Luffy lost his balance and fell off the basketball. He dropped everything. The lamps broke in two, the picture frame and the vase shattered.
Robin giggled, "Didn't I tell you? Now the expensive vase is broken."
"Luffy, if we don't get this stuff fixed our mom is going to be really mad," Nami vexed, trying to put the picture frame back together.
"It's his fault he broke these things," Zoro pointed an accusing finger at Luffy.
"Things? Oh that's right! Guys I have another game, hang on," Luffy left the house and came back in with a giant red wooden box in tow.
"What is it now?" Zoro asked, becoming irritated.
"When I unlock this box, a couple of my friends are going to come out," Luffy declared, and unlocked the box.
Two people leapt out of the box, both wearing large signs around their neck that read "Thing 1" and "Thing 2".
"A pervert and a skeleton," Nami shouted, jumping away from the things.
"I'm not a pervert, little-sis, I'm supah thing!" Franky claimed, striking an outlandish pose.
Brook mimicked the pose, "And I'm… Brook!" Nami and Zoro face palmed.
"No, you guys are supposed to be Thing 1 and Thing 2," Luffy argued.
"Something tells me this isn't going to end well," Robin mused, flipping through a book.
"So now we're going to play a supah dance game!" Franky bellowed.
"I thought we were going to play some music," Brook disputed.
"Oh, how about we play a game to decide what game we're going to play?" Luffy suggested.
"Okay, the first one to tackle that green haired kid first and force him to eat a worm gets to pick the game," Franky stated randomly.
"What?" Zoro asked. He dodged away from Brook's attempt at tackling him.
"Get the hell away from me!" Zoro yelled and ran from the room.
Franky and Brook chased after Zoro, destroying anything in their path.
"Oh my, it looks like your mom's home," Robin informed, peering out the window.
"Shit! Luffy, you and the things have to get out!" Nami ordered.
"You don't want to play anymore?" Luffy glowered, jutting his lower lip out.
"You guys have been nothing but trouble, get out!" Nami repeated.
Brook and Franky ran back into the living room. Zoro chased them with two baseball bats in his hands.
The things jumped back into their box, and Luffy pulled it behind him.
"I guess I'll go," Luffy sulked.
"Wait, what about this mess?" Zoro asked.
Luffy turned back and looked around the room. "I guess I can help clean up a bit."
He stretched his arms throughout the house and replaced items in their rightful spots.
"What about the vase?" Nami pointed to the shards of pottery ware.
"I got it," Robin stated, her arms crossed. Hands sprouted from the ground and started gluing the pottery back together. Soon enough the vase looked as if it had never been touched.
Luffy left the house, and Zoro and Nami sat on the couch with Robin and watched TV.
Their mother came in through the front door, "Hey kids, glad the house still looks like it's in one piece. Did you have fun?"
"oodles..." Zoro stated flatly.
The End.
A/N: Only one Drabble left, and that is Alice in Wonderland (my all time favorite) thank you for reading! See ya later!
