I feel like I've been ignoring this story...though it's only been four or five days since I last updated. Meh. Aaanyways~
Zany Dragon: Yep, at least mildly attracted, it's sort of like a radar system, the Sea Kings know when they are in the imminent area, though they only attack when they are within a certain range. They just happened to sail through that range.

[ALSO: I MEANT TO MAKE FRANKY GO WITH THEM, NOT BROOK D: SO IGNORE THAT FROM THE PREVIOUS CHAPTER. IDK WHERE MY MIND WENT WHILE WRITING THAT.]
Angela laughed as she ran through the small village off to the west of the island, zipping between civilians as if they were not there. She had lost Luffy somewhere in the tiny maze of this town and right now was looking for some excitement. She noticed bright red and blue lanterns were hanging from the lamp posts, as well as some colored paper strips that went from post to post. 'Wonder what that's for.' She looked from storefront to storefront, trying to decide where to go, until she saw a small clothes store. Patting her pocket to confirm the small sack of beli inside, she went into the store. An old woman was sitting at the register, and a couple customers were milling about.
She looked through the clothing, eventually finding a small men's section among the women's clothing. She took a large white shirt and a pair of dark brown shorts from it, going into a changing room to try them on. They were a bit baggy, but that was the plan. She also managed to find a large gray hat that she could put her hair and ears into and hide them [Like a baseball hat, but with more room to stuff hair inside]. She looked at the mirror in front of her, placing one hand on her hip. The only thing she could think was 'I look like a boy'. She grinned and paid the cashier woman, making her way back outside in the new getup.
A little while later, she saw Sanji-kun at a stand, buying groceries. She smiled despite herself at the thought of something to keep her busy. She slowly snuck up behind him before grabbing the beli in his hand and taking off down the street. She heard his angry shouting followed by footsteps and only laughed as she ran faster, eventually turning a corner and jumping behind a building before he turned it. He continued on down the road and she slowly came out from behind the building. "Well...Sanji-kun has at least 45,000 beri...cool!" She said excitedly to herself as she put it in her pocket. Not that she'd be keeping it.
Continuing on her little island adventure, she walked calmly down the road, the hat shading her eyes as she looked for her 'potential victims'. She soon sited Franky at a boat repairs shop. 'Hmm...what to do here...' she thought evilly. 'Ooooh! Idea!' she ran inside, hiding directly behind a random customer, Franky standing in front of him. "Oi! You should put some pants on, robot!" She said in an almost perfect male voice. The man whirled around, but she was already gone, out the door. She heard the angry screams of Franky as he testified he was 'Not a robot, a cyborg' and that 'What kind of pervert wear's pants!?' She giggled softly, feeling like a little devil bred to cause havok.
After that little mayhem, she figured she should do something a little more...extreme. So, she set off looking for Zoro. He wasn't too hard to find, either. 'Tsk tsk...sleeping out in the open like that.' she thought as she saw him asleep in a tree, his back against the trunk. 'What can I do to him...without dying.' she thought, one hand under her chin. Then an evil glint shone in her eyes and she went back into town, going into a girly store, and came out a few minutes later, a small bag in her hands.
She almost ran back to where Zoro was, giggling uncontrollably. 'He looks to peaceful...' she noted. 'Too bad.' She took the things out of the bag and began her evil plan, being careful as not to wake him. After she was done, she dropped the bag of Sanji-kun's money on his lap and walked away, cackling like a witch.
'Now what to do?' she looked around, noticing it was getting a bit darker. She saw some pristine cafe and decided coffee couldn't hurt. She walked inside, noticing everyone there looked neat and tidy. She took the hat off sat down at a table for two, resting her feet in the second chair. A pretty waitress soon came over, listing off the cafe's specials, most of which she had no idea what was in the first place. "Miss, could I just get a cup of coffee?" She asked, cutting the girl off before she could prattle off anything more.
"Uh, yes of course. How many sugars?" She asked, pulling out the standard waitress notepad and pen. "Just black." She propped one arm on the table before resting her chin in her hand as the waitress nodded quickly before scampering off. She studied the patrons a bit closer, trying to listen in on their conversations. Most of it was stuff she didn't know nor care about, because she didn't understand. She heard that there would be a festival in this town in a few hours though, which was why all those decorations were up. She also heard that, fortunately, the log post wouldn't set for another 15 hours, so she was a bit excited about the festival.
The waitress soon came back, setting the cup of coffee in front of her. She smiled brightly at the girl before reaching to pick up the cup, blowing on it a moment. The waitress left again, probably to tend to someone else, and she sipped the drink, nodding in satisfaction. She wondered if she would even be allowed to go to the festival, but figured she would if they went too.
She soon finished the coffee and left, leaving enough beri to pay for it and give the girl a tip on the table. She noticed some of the lanterns being lit as it got darker and grinned, walking back to the ship. She put her hands in her pockets before jumping onto the deck. She noticed immediately Luffy was back and wondered briefly when he came back.
She walked over to the crow's nest, climbing up to the top and inside. She leaned over so she could see out of it and patiently waited until the rest of the crew got back, since evidently they hadn't arrived yet. She saw Franky first and yelled, waving at him. "Heeey!" He grinned back, jumping on deck and waving back at her. He spoke to Usopp, who had come out onto the deck a little while before, for a moment before they both went below deck.
Sanji came next, looking angry. She frowned for a moment, feeling a little bad for taking his beli, but shrugged it off, knowing it wasn't that bad. She waved at him too and his mood instantly changed into 'Love-Love Mode', waving wildly as he jumped onto deck, yelling that he would make her and the other two girls something sweet. she grinned as he went into the kitchen.
Zoro was, predictably, last, and he looked VIVID. He jumped onto the deck, landing with a loud stomp that she figured was more due to rage than weight. She heard the laughter of Nami, Chopper and Luffy, and then the streams of insults Zoro hurled at them. She almost fell out the crow's nest from repressed laughter. It was only when Sanji came back out, carrying the tray of milkshakes he had made for the girls, she focused on what was happening on the ground. Sanji dropped the tray, making the glasses spill and break, staring at Zoro. He then erupted into laughter, literally on his knees, hitting the ground with his fists in mirth. Zoro started swearing at Sanji, who stopped laughing, and soon it had escalated into a fight. She sighed, shaking her head like a mother at the two, while on the inside she was extremely happy. She was glad she had made things a bit more exciting on the ship, for the day at least.
Oh? What was wrong with Zoro, you ask? It's quite simple really. She put tons of makeup on his face! heavy lipstick and eyeshadow mostly, and basically caked on the palest skin evener she had found, making him look distinctly clown-like. Where did she get such an evil idea? Well, she never claimed to be an innocent little fairy, did she? Truthfully, when she was in control of herself, one of her favorite pass times had been to play pranks on the crew at the circus.
Ehh...done...
I did NOT forget about the festival, I just didn't want to do it in this chapter. I'm gonna do it next chapter probably ^.^ I know this chapter is silly, but hey, I like writing silly things sometimes. I got the idea of putting makeup on Zoro from something I had been talking about with my friend today XD Anyways, do y'all like silly chapters like this one more, or the kinda serious one's I've been doing? I'll probably end up doing a mixture of both, but I love to hear people's opinions!
Writer out! *Walks away like a boss*
