The End of Boredom
By Reya aka Golden Fire Goddess
Chapter 3

The group waited, albeit impatiently, for their friends to come back. Sanji quietly shuffled back and took a seat in between Zoro and Luffy. Luffy grinned up at Sanji.

"You know, we ruined the wonderful funeral we were going to give you."

Sanji gulped.

"You might not want to throw away those plans just yet."

Usop laughed.

"I don't think you have to worry about it. Nami just went to wash the sea salt out of her clothes before they could get ruined."

Robin decided to join at that moment.

"So exactly why did you throw her clothes overboard?"

Sanji laughed quietly at that.

"She took one look at what I picked and told me, in no uncertain terms, that she was not going to wear what I had picked for her. That I should go and find another outfit for her to wear. So I managed to talk her into at least trying it on and when she had her back turned to me, I swiped her clothes. And the rest you know."

The crew laughed at that. The thing about laughter is that it goes away after a while and then some truly serious thoughts return. And Zoro was just the person that this happened to.

"So, Sanji. Is there anything that you would like to tell us?"

Sanji looked at Zoro as if he was crazy.

"No, why?"

Zoro smirked at him.

"I was just wondering where you got that outfit that Nami's wearing. You aren't going 'Okama' on us are you?"

At that last part, everyone was silent. Waiting for Sanji's answer. Sanji, as is reasonable to those who had their manhood questioned and yet have no idea what to say back, became fish-faced. Trying to make up for his less than masculine silence, Sanji attempted at explaining.

"I saw it at the last port we were in. Something told me that I should buy it... so I did. I don't know why though."

Zoro raised an eyebrow.

“Are you sure that your mind isn't trying to tell you something?”

“You're not going to it go are ya?” Sanji whined. Before Zoro could answer, Nami came out.

“Let go of what?” Nami blinked, trying to figure out what she had missed.

“His pants.” Chopper smiled innocently up at Nami.

Suffice to say, the rest of the group was shocked before bursting out laughing. Had the reindeer actually joined in to tease the cook and swordsman? Nami cocked her head to the side and snickered.

“No PDA's please. We don`t need to know what you two do when everyone`s not looking.”

Laughter resounded around the two red faced men. Grumbling they glared at each other, thus bringing more laughter to come from their companions, and then they glared at their companions.

“Let's get back to the game!” The embarrassed men yelled. Robin calmed down enough to get her breathing back in order.

“Okay Nami, since you completed your dare, it's your turn to choose the next victim, I mean, next person.”

Nami smirked.

“Well, since he didn't want to go first. Okay Zoro. Truth or Dare.”

“Awww, hell. I pick dare.”

`How did I know she was going to pick me? How?'

Nami's smirk evolved into a grin.

“Okay then. I dare you to do a `Ten minutes in heaven' with your boyfriend over there.”

Zoro glanced at Sanji and then looked straight at Nami and smirked. Getting up he held is hand out for Sanji.

“Come on dear, we shouldn't disappoint our waiting audience.”

He quickly winked at Sanji before rolling his eyes. Sanji go the message and took Zoro's hand, winking back.

“Why, yes, butter buns. I think we should get this over with.”

Stealing a look out of the corner of his eye, Sanji saw Nami mouth hanging open, starting at them as they left. He quickly turned his head to keep from laughing. Zoro raised an eyebrow at that.

“What's so funny?”

“You gotta see the look on Nami's face.”

As they turned a corner, Zoro peeked and saw the same face that Sanji had. He quietly started to chuckle.

“Serves her right.”

Sanji chuckled at that. Zoro looked over at him, breaking the hold of each other's hands.

“And here I thought you liked her.”

“I do. I do, its just she was really asking for it with that boyfriend comment.”

“I know what you mean. We should have checked to see how Robin reacted.”

“I can almost see it. Raised eyebrow with a smile on her face. How do ya think Chopper's reacting?”

“Hmmmm, I'd say he's either screaming about the idea of two guys being together. Or figuring out an excuse to give us both medical attention.”

“I'd say a combination of that.”

“Sounds fair.”

At that point, they had reached their destination. Zoro growled.

“Do we really have to go in there?”

“I guess so; they'll probably send someone over here to check to see that we are actually going through with this.”

“That someone would probably be Usop. Though I think he'd say we didn't go through with it, even if we did, and go back and say that he wrestled us into the closet with one arm behind his back.”

“You might want to add in some crying and screaming and pleading on our parts with that one.”

Zoro nodded.

“Let's get this over with.”

And with that, Sanji and Zoro stepped into the closet.

*~*~*~*~ Meanwhile~*~*~*~*

Nami had finally pulled herself together and was currently glaring a hole in the floor. Robin was smirking to herself, having an idea as to what Zoro and Sanji were really up to. Luffy was beside himself, trying to calm down the anxiety attack prone reindeer. And Usop was attempting to entertain everyone with a wild tale of his. However, a thought came to his mind mid-story.

“Hey guys, how do we know that they are actually following through with the dare?”

That stopped everyone. They looked in the direction the two men had gone, noticing that it was the direction of the kitchens and one of Zoro's favorite napping spots.

“Should we check on them?” Chopper asked eyes wide with what could be called fear by normal people, but what everyone on that ship labeled at normal for the reindeer turned human.

“That would be an excellent idea. Who wants to go?”

Nami looked around at the rest of the group. Usop started to sit up straight.

“Not you Usop. We don't need stories of heroism at this point.”

Usop at first seemed deflated, but smiled when she acknowledged his stories a bit.

“Then who do you propose should go and check up on them.” He asked, as was reasonable to do.

“I don't know. But what I do know is that no one who has a habit of telling tall tales or one who cowers in fear. So that leaves three of us and no offence guys, but I really don't want to go over there.”

Nami rubbed the back of her head, embarrassedly grinning.

“Oh, you're just unhappy `cause you can't join in.”

Luffy grinned at Nami, who at that moment just stared at him in shock. Robin softly laughed and shook her head.

“I would say just go. But you're too chicken, so I guess I'll go. I kinda like to watch.”

Nami's eyes widened.

“Um, I'll go. Ha ha ha. Um, I'll be right back.”

And with that she took off. Luffy started laughing hysterically.

“That was good Robin. How'd you know that was what it would take to get her to check?”

Robin smirked at Luffy.

“Are you sure that I meant to send her over there?”

That stopped his laughter, Luffy gawked outright at Robin, not sure what to say. Robin laughed at his face.

“I was kidding Luffy.”

At that, Luffy laughed nervously, rubbing the back of his head. Usop and Chopper looked at each other and shrugged, figuring that things would get interesting once Nami returned.

*~*~*~*~ Meanwhile, again~*~*~*~*

Sanji and Zoro had somehow fit themselves into the tiny closet. Each were uncomfortable in more than one way. The first being the size of said closet.

“Dammit Zoro, move your muscle-bound ass over some. I'm squished here!”

“I can't, there's no room for me to move over. Whoever came up with the idea `Ten Minutes in Heaven' must have been extremely skinny or a midget.”

Sanji snorted.

“Darn those midgets for being so kinky.”

“Very funny. I was being somewhat serious about that.”

“Meaning that you were half joking.”

“Yeah, that would be about it.”

“And to think, I thought you were all brawn… no brains.”

“Very funny ass.”

“Oh, Zoro! You break my heart.”

“I'll be doing much more than breaking your heart if those ten minutes aren't over soon.”

“Touchy, touchy.”

“What the hell do you think you're doing?”

“What else? Tormenting your soul.”

“No, not that. Are you smoking in here?”

“Yes, I think I deserve to after being forced into being holed up here with you.”

“That's it; I'm opening up the door.”

“I think that defeats the purpose of `Ten Minutes in Heaven'.”

“You're smoking, that too would defeat the purpose. Plus I don't exactly feel like getting some weird lung infection just because you insist on filling your lungs with that crud. I'm opening the door... if I could find the door.”

“Wait a minute; you don't know where the door is? I'm trapped! I'm trapped with a hulking behemoth. I'll never see my Nami or my Robin again! Walls closing in, can't breathe. Can't -”

The clearing of a throat stopped Sanji mid-rant. He looked up to see Zoro looking at him like he had a second head on his shoulders.

“I got the door open… moron.”

“Very funny.”

“I thought so too. Especially since I'm not the one who was screaming like a little girl.”

Sanji, feeling embarrassed, sent a kick in Zoro's direction.

“Ow, don't do that.”

“I'll give you more if you don't shut up.”

“Bring it, I'll bet you don't have what it takes to back it up do ya?”

*~*~*~*~ Meanwhile, again~*~*~*~*

Nami walked down the hall, to where the closet was located. She was ready to run at any given provocation. Of course that meant hearing things that one normally didn't hear. Like Sanji exclaiming something that was muffled. She heard the sound of a door open and quickened her steps fearing both the best and the worse. She didn't know why she felt so apprehensive. All she knew was that it was about either one of the victims in her little dare and she didn't like it one bit.

“Ow, don't do that.”

“I'll give you more if you don't shut up.”

“Bring it, I'll bet you don't have what it takes to back it up do ya?”

“And what if I do?”

“Argh! Don't put that there, you pig!”

“It's there now, what'cha gonna do about it?”

“Ahhhhh, when I get out of this you are so fucked!”

“Ah, but I'm here now and I think its safe to say, you the one who is fucked.”

Nami gasped at that.

`They're really doing it!'

Of course, as fate would have it, a series of thumps came from the closet only to be made even more clear because of the open door.

Nami ran for the closet. Yanking the door the rest of the way open and looked inside. There sat Zoro and Sanji, pulling at each other's cheeks. Sanji was sitting on top of Zoro. They both looked up at her, blinking.

Nami stared down at them, not knowing what to say. Briefly, she wondered why the hell the door was open, but then she noticed that Sanji was smoking and so it made sense. She looked at the sky and smiled at them.

“I guess your torture is over guys.”

She grinned helplessly down at them. Sanji and Zoro blinked and looked at each other before attempting to stand up and get out of that closet. It took a few tries, but finally they were free from their cursed confinement. The three of them walked towards the rest of their crewmates.

Of course (to which there are many in this story because of the fact that fate is a bitch and Murphy's law keeps coming into play very nicely), the silence that had fallen between them had to be broken. And that person just had to be Zoro. And the person it was directed at just had to be Nami (Gee, who'd a thought?).

“Worried, were you?”

Zoro smirked down at Nami. Nami blushed a bit and looked away. Of Course that meant looking at Sanji then, so she just concentrated on the floor… for the moment.

“No, I just wanted to make sure that you were doing your dare. The kitchen and your usual napping place are near here.”

Zoro chuckled.

“Really? And here I thought that the reason you nearly ripped the door off its hinges was because you either wanted to stop something from happening or you were very eager to watch.”

Nami gaped and blushed a bright red. Sanji chuckled.

“You wanted to watch, didn't you?”

Nami jumped back and shook her head vigorously, blushing even brighter. Zoro and Sanji laughed at that before each patted her on the shoulder.

“You two are... argh! I didn't know what was going on, all I knew was what was being said between the two of you! I shouldn't have gotten worried.”

Sanji put an arm around her shoulders while Zoro bumped his hip against hers.

“Relax Nami. Sanji and I were just teasing. Though your blush did hint that you were at least thinking of it.”

Nami glared at Zoro.

“I did not blush!”

Sanji stroked his chin thoughtfully.

“Okay, then you decided it was time to do a rather poor, but interesting impression of a tomato.”

Nami elbowed Sanji, walked till she was in front of them and then (and only then, but then again they both get more than their usual share) she gave them one of her best glares.

“You know, when you two want to, you both can be the most annoying people. Especially when you both work together.”

That being said, she turned on her heal and practically ran to the waiting group.

Sanji and Zoro looked at each other and after a moment of contemplation (they jumped at each other, wildly exclaiming their love for one another… LOL) they nodded, both thinking it was fun teasing their Orange-haired navigator. Especially when the two of them teamed up.

“Hey Zoro, I was thinking…”

“Sounds good. When we…”

“That'll make her mad for sure.”

Both smirked at that. Before they got within the sight of their crew mates, Sanji and Zoro placed their arms around each other's shoulders and walked `in' looking quite like a very close couple.

Nami had reached there before them and was in the middle of telling everyone what she had seen in the closet. As fate would have it (or whatever comes to mind at the moment), Sanji and Zoro made their appearance, making sure that everyone knew that they had returned. Their comrades looked at `the couple' and Nami, not sure who to believe at the moment.

“Hey Nami, you tell an even better story than I do. You really had me believing you. What's your secret?”

Usop (poor Usop) grinned at her. Nami glared daggers at him (sounds painful, ne?), wishing for him to disintegrate with her super special eye lasers. Looking away, she sent a pleading glance at Robin hoping for some backup. As she looked away, Usop twirled his finger by his head and winked at Sanji and Zoro, letting them know he at least had an idea of what their plan was. They both smirked at him and Zoro gave a teeny tiny nod, right before Nami turned her glare onto them.

Grinning at her, they sat down, which happened to be close to Usop, which happened to be across from Robin, who just happened to be sitting between Luffy (right side) and Nami (left side). Noticing that her glare wasn't having the desired effect, Nami pouted.

“Okay Zoro, since you and Sanji went through with the dare it's your turn.”

Zoro grinned.

“Okay, Chopper. Truth or Dare?”

The reindeer trembled.

“Truth.”

He trembled even more when his choice got a large amount of boos from some of the crew. He almost changed his answer when Zoro came to his rescue.

“Leave him alone guys, it was his call. Someone was bound to pick that option at some point. May as well save the tortures for the non-screamers of the crew.”

Luffy laughed at that.

Sanji whispered in his ear, “You make it sound like there is someone in the crew with a thing for furries.”

Zoro shook his head.

“Keep your mind out of the gutter. You know exactly what I mean.”

“Yeah I know, I just wanted to tease ya a bit.”

A throat cleared.

“If you two love birds are finished…”

Robin chuckled at the looks she received from Zoro and Sanji.

“Okay Chopper, since you chose `truth'… um… how exactly did Don Foru (Guessing at the spelling here) get to you when we were gone from the ship. Better yet, how did he know that you needed help?”

Getting a blank look Zoro attempted to clarify.

“When we were up in Sky Piea.”

A look of non confusion (usually mistook for understanding) was given to him.

“I blew the whistle.”

“Oh. Okay Chopper, your turn.”

“Hmmmmm, okay Usop. Truth or dare?”

Usop wilted at the implications of what the dare could be, but the implications and restrictions of truth was even greater. That and he is `The Great Captain Usop', so he couldn't back away from a dare. Besides this was Chopper who was giving him the dare, so how bad could it be (Thus a new lesson was learned… watch out for the normally petrified they come out with some weird dares).

“Dare.”

“Okay I dare you to dress in the same outfit that Nami has on.”

Usop fell over, twitching. Everyone stared, once again, at the reindeer before bursting out laughing.

“Well Usop. Come on, let's go get the other outfit that I have.”

Sanji suddenly stopped laughing and looked over at Nami.

“Nami, I would seriously suggest you keep that outfit on and not change into the other one.”

Nami pouted/frowned.

“Why not?”

Zoro joined.

“Big hint. You might not want to see how he hangs.”

Nami's eyes widened at that. She stiffly nodded before grabbing Usop's leg and dragging him to her room. Zoro turned to Sanji.

“Good thing you thought of that before she tried anything. Seeing Usop in that would have killed our retinas”

“Who said anything about killing our retinas? I just wanted to keep her in that outfit.”

“I'm surprised you know what a retina is.”

“I'm gonna kick you from here to… somewhere over there.”

Zoro rolled his eyes.

“I am so scared. But you'll have to try later, Nami's back.”

And there she stood with what could be considered one of the most (okay maybe not most, but it's probably close) hideous girl anyone had ever seen. Silence reined before Zoro spoke up.

“Usop… are you… uh… wearing… uh… makeup?”

Usop glowered at Zoro and then pointed in the direction of Nami. Upon the closer inspection from the rest of the crew, it seemed that yes, Nami had decided to give Usop a little extra with his outfit. Laughter resounded throughout the ship. It was a few minutes before everyone had a hold over themselves and even then there were a few outbursts. But generally they calmed down.

“Okay Usop. It's your turn.”

Usop thought very hard. There were three people who hadn't been chosen. He could go with Sanji, but he had no idea what to have him do. Then there was Robin. There was very little that could get her to blush. So that left Luffy. The only person who would not only pick dare, but would do so in a very excited manner. Yup. Usop cringed, he had no plan. Maybe not, but he could come up with something funny at least and he knew the person who would most likely oblige.

“Okay Luffy. Truth or dare?”

Luffy thought it over carefully. He knew what he wanted, but one look at Usop and he began to think differently. But then again Zoro and Sanji seemed to be having fun teasing Nami, maybe he should and then he could tease her some too. Yup that's it.

“Dare.”

And he grinned a grin that literally split his face. Usop attempted to mirror Luffy's grin, but there seemed to be a limit on the amount that one person could stretch their skin to smile.

“I dare you to go with Robin and get a makeover.”

His request was deadpanned by almost everyone in the group. Robin smirked over at him and shrugged. The rest raised their arguments.

“What the heck!”

“There were two other makeover dares.”

“Its too boring.”

“Yeah, get some originality.”

Usop patiently waited till the yelling was done.

“Actually, no, a makeover dare hasn't been done. Those first two were merely a change in wardrobe. I am merely daring Luffy to a complete and utter makeover. There is a difference.”

Silently he added, `One where no one would recognize him.'

Luffy had thought it over. Thinking that it made sense, he nodded and stood up waiting for Robin to do the same. Making sure that his choice was known, he well, let them know.

“I accept your dare Usop.”

And with that He and Robin, once she had stood up, went towards her rooms.

After approximately (otherwise known as about) five minutes, sounds of a scuffle came from the direction of Robin's rooms. Muffled shout followed after. And even after that, the sounds of thumps could be heard.

Sanji looked over at Usop.

“I hope you're prepared to deal with what will happen once Luffy and Robin come back.”

Usop gulped.

“You mean, start planning my funeral huh?”

They all nodded sagely, then Chopper realized what he was agreeing to and started to panic. Nami took hold of Chopper and sat on him. The rest raised their eyebrows at her actions and she merely shrugged at them.

About twenty five minutes later Robin stepped out of her rooms. Smiling she pronounced herself finished with Luffy. She quickly sat down and they all waited for Luffy to make his appearance. A few minutes went by and still no sign of Luffy. Of course during that few minutes a strange female sidled by. And since it was a female and not Luffy everyone, with the exception of Robin, ignored her.

Said female was currently sitting next to Robin, wondering what everyone was staring at. Not standing it any longer, the unknown female spoke out.

“What are you guys looking for?”

“We're looking for our captain.”

Nami cocked her head after she spoke to the girl. Allowing her eyes to leave the doorway of Robin's room, she looked at the girl seated next to Robin.

“Wow, you know if you were a boy and not wearing that dress and if you didn't have those curls in your hair I'd say that you were Luffy.”

The girl snickered before bursting into laughter. The type of laughter that Luffy usually laughed. That brought all attention to the girl currently howling and leaning on a chuckling Robin. It was Usop that interrupted them.

“Lu- Lu- Luffy?”

The girl nodded, still laughing away.

Everyone was amazed at the transformation that Luffy had undergone. Usop nearly cried at the fact that no one had recognized Luffy when he had first appeared. Again, those few minutes of everyone settling down came into effect and thus the game once again started up.

Luffy looked at Robin and Sanji. Though before he looked at Sanji, one could almost swear he had winked at her.

“Hey Sanji! Truth or Dare?”

Sanji smirked.

“Dare.”

AN: Okay third chapter. I hope you all liked. Let me know what you thought, please.

Reviewer Responses:

Wah: Thank you. I am glad you like my fic. The pairings are more than likely M/F… I am not too comfortable with my writing to attempt a M/M or F/F. Other than that, the pairings are a secret for now. ^_^

Anime Insaniac: Thank you! I think I will use your dare idea in a later chapter. Should be fun, ne? Frankly I like those pairings too and I would like to see more of them, just without Zoro being a blushing virgin (Z/N) ya know?!
