Title: Candles

Characters/Pairing(s): Luffy&Nami, Straw Hats

(Pre/Post) Time Skip: Post Time Skip

Luffy pursed his lips and tilted his head as he thought long and hard of a good idea. Just thinking made his brain hurt, but with no one currently on the ship, he had no choice. Since Nami has worked nonstop with her maps and reading the weather every second as they sailed through the New World, he thought she deserved a rest.

Since Sanji was out "grocery shopping," as the cook puts it, Luffy couldn't think of anything good enough that could impress his girlfriend. Robin was out shopping with Nami, and everyone else was just too busy. He'd make her dinner, but he didn't think she'd like anything raw. He'd take her out on a date, but he was flat out broke after all the money he was given went towards meat.

His stomach growled after all that thinking. To take a break from all of that, and since no one was currently on the ship to stop him, Luffy headed for the kitchen. When he came across the fridge, he pouted when he remembered about the lock, but no one said anything about the back storage being locked. While licking his lips, Luffy tiptoed towards the back door and opened it slightly and stepped in. He closed the door behind him just in case Sanji were to suddenly show up. He turned on the lights, then felt drool trickling down the corner of his mouth. He was about to take everything in sight until something to his right caught his eye. Tons of candles were in stock just in the corner of the room. Just then, an idea popped in his head.

Nami climbed back onto the ship after a long day of difficult shopping with Robin.

"Some people these days. Don't they understand that we live in a world where getting money is a very difficult issue," Nami said in disbelief.

"Ee, who would've thought we'd land on an island with a lot of wealthy citizens living in it," Robin agreed. Nami climbed up the steps leading up to the women's' quarters. Just before she could open the door, she could smell smoke coming from inside her room. She quickly bursted in to find her room in flames.. and Luffy standing in the middle of it. Candles were set up everywhere, literally. There were hundreds of them covering the entire place.

"Luffy!"

"N-Nami! Uh, surprise!"

"What did you do?" Nami yelled.

"W-Well, I tried to be all romantic, but it didn't turn out all too-"

"Never mind that! Water! Robin!"

As the rest of the Straw Hats started boarding the ship, they saw Luffy and the girls sitting on the deck, exhausted. There were empty buckets everywhere, as well as wet furniture from the girls' room.

"What happened?" asked Zoro.

"Oi! What happened to the girls' room?" Franky yelled when he noticed the blackened walls around the room's door.

Nami smacked Luffy upside the head. "Ask this idiot."

"Shishishi! Sorry."
