Howdy! Please do not kill me for being so late for posting these things. School happened, after about 6hrs of homework later, I have been sleeping like a baby before I can post anything.

Also to my reviewers—I love you guys! (Well as much as a stranger can love another stranger…)

To my readers and non-reviewers—I like you guys, but the fact you don't review makes me sad. It makes me feel like I did a bad job…oh well.

All disclaimers are implied.

Title: Doctor Chopper and Mr. Tony

Summary: An experiment with rumble balls lead to…interesting results.

The day started normally; the crew was doing all their daily tasks per custom on the ship.

Brooks, once again, was on deck playing Binke's Sake on the violin (much to the annoyance of everybody, except Luffy and Chopper).

The Captain could be found on the head mantle, what he did up there—not many knew.

Yet again, Sanji and Zoro were fighting over something insignificant. Their mediator, Robin, stood accompanied by the yardman, Franky. Unbeknownst to the two quarrelling parties, a third had simply stated a solution almost half an hour ago. They had left to look out into space.

Ussop was found at the side of the ship, fishing. He pondered the many stories he would tell when he got home. Imagining the tales of 'the Great Ussop' made him chortle in delight.

Now Chopper…wait, where was Chopper?

Deep in the bowels of the ship lays a secret laboratory. Enter at your own peril, past the bolted door

Where impossible things may happen that, the world's never seen before! [Dexter's Laboratory—oh wait, wrong show…sorry]

This…This was Chopper's very own Rumble Ball facility. The wonderful creations that help the Mugiwara crew win countless battles against big-name pirates.

Though this day, Chopper had been feeling low-down in the dumps. For too long, he had been picked on by Sanji and Zoro about his natural fear of everything.

However, in is defense, he was a reindeer. Reindeers have a major flight or fight response! He may have eaten the hito-hito fruit, but he was by no means human.

"At last…" In between Chopper's hooves was a white rumble ball. With it was the end of his natural cowardice.

Now all that remained was to test it. Popping it in his mouth, he bit down with a satisfying crunch. It took mere seconds for it to take full effect.

For some reason, he had transformed into his man-beast state, a state that can handle the most testosterone.

'This is great! I finally show those two jerks a thing or two.'

One little thing Chopper forgot about testosterone, it tends to make anything thing a wee-bit aggressive. What was originally depression morphed into rage.

"Zoro…Sanji…" murderous thought were interrupted with a knock at the door.

"Who is it?" wow my voice just got deeper.' For a split second, he wanted to kill whoever was on the other side of the door. He jumped down on that thought quickly.

"It's Nami. Chopper-kun, you've been down here all day, come grab some lunch." Okay not so secret lab, I lied.

At the mention of food, Chopper's thought processes no longer applied. He bounded up the stairs before Nami could even turn around to follow.

Everyone sat down for lunch. However, through the meal, things took an interesting, but expected turn.

"Oi, Chopper! Stop stealing my food!" Luffy smacked Choppers hand away from his dish and stretched his other arm to take back his piece of meat.

Chopper, in return, growled and continued scarfing down food.

"Are reindeers even carnivorous?" Zoro asks Sanji in a whisper, Sanji shrugged in response.

Chopper overheard and bristled, "You gotta' problem with my eating habits, punks?"

The swordsman and the chef sat there in shock, the (Yes, they are admitting it) cute reindeer turned into an asshole wanting to start a fight.

Luffy sat quietly, no longer really interested in the food laying before him.

Ussop, himself was disturbed at what had transpired.

"What has gotten into you? You are a complete Ass—" a fuzzy fist collided with the sniper's nose.

"Ussop!" then the brawling started. Chopper leapt across the table and landed punches on the downed sniper.

Robin attempted to subdue him, but he broke out of her hold, knocking her back. Nami ran to her aid.

Now that three were out of the way, he turned his attention to the two sources of his anger. Both squeaked at his rage.

With a feral yell, he charged forward. Luffy who was still seated, lifted his hand.

"Gomu gomu no…" the reindeer stopped and turned, Franky cried for his ship, Brooks looked on in confusion, Zoro and Sanji ducked for cover. Nami yelled obscenities how he was going to break the ship. "Chop." No, it was not dramatic, nor was it boisterous. The crew opened their eyes, surprised they and the ship were not dead.

"Huh?" all see a passed out reindeer by Luffy.

"So this is why he is captain." Franky mused aloud.

" Shouldn't he be shifting back to normal?" Nami prodded the six-foot fuzzy beast with her foot.

"Nami-san, where was Chopper-kun when you brought him up for lunch?"

"The rumble lab—Oh…" it was like that answer had the meaning of life.

"Should we tie'im up, Cap'n?" Franky held several feet of rope, read to hog-tie the poor thing.

"No need. Look." Luffy points at Chopper, who had begun to shrink down to his original size.

Bloody with a broken nose, Ussop made a triumphant pose. "Once again, the Great Ussop defeated the mighty man-beast." The rest stare on nonplussed, 'he didn't do anything…' echoed in everybody's heads.

Nearly two hours later, Chopper awoke from his forced slumber. Not remembering very much, he looked around at his surroundings. He stared in horror as the kitchen was in shambles.

"Everyone! The kitchen is destroyed!" Chopper ran to the deck crying.

The crew truly smiled at the return of the doctor. 'Oh, thank goodness.'

"Don't worry about it!" Nami swooped down and pick Chopper up in a hug.

*Cue sudden and quick flash back* Chopper remembers what happened.

"I-I'm so sorry! I hurt you!" and forth coming were waterworks. The men decided to step in.

Zoro twiddled with his swords and awkwardly stated. "Look…you weren't yourself…ok?" He was never good at that whole 'cheering up' bit. However, he stepped closer and patted the reindeer on the head.

Still teary-eyed, Chopper accepted his words.

Luffy, forever on the head of Thousand Sunny, laughed. "You made today entertaining, I knew there was a good reason I made you our nakama." Everybody, including Chopper, face palms.

Possibilities of next time: The Mugiwara dance crew, or 10 things that drive Sanji nuts.

(both will be done, just a matter of putting which first)

P.S. please review.
