"Tony, watch where you're running; you'll run into the table if you don't." Nami said, putting her hand out to slow the overexcited child down. The party was in full swing and Tony had stuffed himself with so many sweets and fizzy drinks that Zoro was surprised he wasn't climbing the walls.

"Tony, calm down a little, okay?" He said firmly.

"Sorry dad." His son replied but soon forgot as he sped off after Luffy who'd just bolted past to get in the kitchen.

The kitchen was crammed with guests and Zoro hadn't been able to get in personally, rather having to wait for drinks and food to make its way to him. The food was delicious and when he'd asked where Luffy had got it, he'd simply replied that a friend was making the food before bolting off again.

"Tony's face and hand are healing well," Nami said, having watched Zoro change the bandages when Tony had spilt lemonade all over himself.

"Yeah, he keeps trying to scratch them though now that they're healing." He took a swig of cola, not liking to drink alcohol when his son was with him.

"How's the teacher guy coming along?"

Zoro shrugged, "Steady. He's actually really nice- he wasn't upset about our date being cut off early last week; he was more concerned about Tony. He's really sweet, even if he is smart mouthed sometimes."

Nami smiled, "That's great, Zoro. It's nice to see you happy with someone again. When are you going to introduce him then?"

"What are you? My mother?"

"Someone has to be." She said cheekily.

"Shut up."

"You haven't even told me his name!"

"Why do you need to know? Ow!" Zoro snapped, pulling his arm away as Nami pinched him harshly.

"Tell me, or I raise your debt!"

"Fine!" Zoro relented, narrowly dodging her sharp fingers. "Sanji! His name's Sanji."

Nami stopped immediately and look shocked, "Sanji? You don't mean Sanji Black, right?"

"Yeah. Wait. How do you know his-"

"I've known him for years! Zoro, why didn't you tell me sooner!" She cut him off.

"What?! You know him?"

"Yeah, Luffy does too. I think he's here actually- Luffy said he was working in the kitchen…"

It all clicked into place. This was why Sanji couldn't be with him tonight, but Zoro had had no idea that Sanji was at Luffy's party. How small was the world?!

As though on cue, Sanji bustled his way out of the crowded kitchen with a glass of wine in hand that looked very well deserved from the expression on his face, he smiled, "Nami, my sweet, it's so nice to see you again I- mosshead?"

"Sanji?" Zoro asked, still in disbelief.

"What're you doing here? I thought you were…"

Zoro laughed, "Apparently we both knew the same people, just not each other."

"How are you? How's Tony?"

Like a terror loose from hell, Tony and Luffy came bounding out of the kitchen and Zoro watched with barely any time to register what was happening as Sanji was sent flying off his feet and into his back, smacking his head off the floor, and Luffy and Tony landing on top of him in a heap. Nami and Zoro moved as one to get the pair off him but Sanji wasn't about to get up any time soon- he was knocked out stone cold.

Tony started crying, "I killed my teacher!"
