Ok... HAPPY (belated) BIRTHDAY SKIE-CHAN!!! ENJOY YOUR PRESENT!!!
Chapter One...
Skie WAS going out with Zoro, but he messed it up, of course.
Ia knew. Everybody knew. But Ia knew... more!
Ia was walking down to her bedroom when her arm was grabbed suddenly and dragged into the room and the door slammed.
"WHAT!?" she screamed, going into karate mode and saw that it was Zoro.
"I need you," he said, pulling out a little black box and opening it to reveal a gold ring with a diamond on it.
"Oh, Zoro!" she gasped, "I deny." she said plainly, closing the box slowly and looking sympathetic.
"IT'S NOT FOR YOU!" he shouted.
"I know, you were kinda thinking of Skie the entire time, which you always do... so it's not anything new. I don't see how she dumped you."
"We fell apart." he growled.
"Whatever. So, you need me to get you two back together so you can ask her." the 17-year-old said.
"Be subtle."
"Ok, but on one condition, you don't bug me-"
"Ok."
"-For EVER!" Ia finished.
Zoro cringed on that fact but agreed in the end.
R-I-N-G
Ia and Skie were walking down the main street in the village they were now in.
"So... You wanna get back together with Zoro?" Ia asked bluntly and as straight forward as possible.
Skie gave Ia a look and before she could say anything, a pair of arms wrapped themselves around Ia and Skie's shoulders and a main of chin length fire red hair appeared.
"Hey, guys!" they said in a bright voice.
"Hey, Ian." Ia said, blowing his red hair out of her face as they walked down the road.
"Hi, Ian!" Skie said brightly.
"Where you guyses goin?" he asked, taking his arms off from around them.
"I have money so I need some new clothes, Skie wants chocolate." Ia said, turning her head slightly to see if there were any clothes shops on that side of the street while Skie blushed furiously as Ian looked at her and asked, "Chocolate?"
"Yes!" she said, giggling.
"What are you doing here?" Ia asked, seeing as Luffy's got Ian on extra-duty-on-Going-Merry duty today (it really was Ia's turn, but she promised him a steak if he got her out of it for the next year).
"I'm playin hookey!" he said, shrugging. Ian talked a lot like somebody would from the world Ia and Skie were from.
"Won't Luffy get mad?" Ia asked as they rounded a corner into a busier street.
"So?" Ian asked. Ia gave a litte smirk and a small laugh while Skie started giggling again. Ia gave her a weird look (she's forbidden to read Skie's mind without Skie's permission). Ian just kept looking forward.
"Ia, um... there's a clothes shop." Ian said, pointing to a large bright pink brick building with clothes in the display window.
Ia sprinted over there as Ian said the word 'shop', leaving him and Skie alone together.
"Uh... wanna get an ice cream, or somethin?" Ian asked a little shakily.
"Sure!" Skie said quickly and they went off.
B-L-U-E-B-E-R-R-I-E-W-A-F-F-L-E-S
"Past the point of no return! No going back now! The bridge is crossed, so stand and watch it burn! Beyond the point of no... retur- WHAT!?"
Ia, who had been singing as she walked back to the ship had Zoro fling infront of her.
"Did you ask her anything?"
"She said no." Ia said quickly and tried to sidestep Zoro to get to the ship but Zoro stopped her.
"What do you mean, no?"
"N-O, no! Simple!" Ia said.
"What did you ask her?" Zoro asked, panicking.
"My exact words were, 'You wanna get back together with Zoro?'." she said.
"I TOLD YOU TO BE SUBTLE! DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS!?" Zoro yelled, shaking Ia.
"Yes." Ia said as, right on cue, Sanji appeared (mad) and kicked Zoro off the dock for shaking what he thinks is his Ia-Chan.
"Thank you, Sanji," Ia said. "But, I'm taken." she said and went onto the ship.
D-I-S-S-A-P-O-I-N-T-M-E-N-T
At supper that night, Ian and Skie were sitting next to eachother (which they usually do, but they were SITTING NEXT TO EACH OTHER (by means of being really really close)). They were eating lobster (Ia had shrimp) and baked potatoes and everybody kept noticing (but didn't really outwardly notice) Skie and Ian. Especially Zoro. Since he was sitting next to Ia (by force), he kept glaring at her until she hissed, "WHAT?" at him.
"No wonder she said no!" he hissed back.
"I asked her before he came up, you idiot!" Ia hissed at him, and was threatening the lemon wedge at his eye.
"He's been here longer than all of three hours!" Zoro hissed at her, taking out the fork.
"SO!" Ia shouted, causing everybody to stare at them. Especially Sanji, who was glaring daggers at the both of them.
Ia grabbed the scruff of Zoro's shirt and dragged him out to the deck.
"How am I suppose to get her back?" Zoro said, almost in a sad and desperate tone of voice.
Ia stared meanly at him. She wasn't exactly glaring, yet.
"STOP GOING THROUGH MY HEAD!" Zoro shouted, clasping his hands over his ears as if to block Ia's power.
"I'm not. I'm going through Ian's." she said.
"Why not Skie's?" Zoro asked, sitting on a barrel.
"I'm not aloud." she sneerd. "OH MY GOSH!" she screamed.
"What?"
D-E-A-T-H
That night, Zoro laid awake. What Ia told him kept running through his head and ringing in his ears.
"He's going to ask her to marry him!" Ia had said, and she didn't lie. Well, not if it was a gain for her. Which got annoying at times.
How could he had been so careless as to let her slip through his fingers. He loved her, however annoying she was. However irritating and crazy she was. He loved her, wasn't that enough? But she doesn't love you back, the annoying voice in his head said to him.
He pressed his palms agains his eyes and forehead. Stupid stupid stupid Zoro! It was his fault... that Skie said yes.
Whoe... didn't see that comin, did ya. Don't feel bad, I didn't either.
