Geez, Ace said something about fish, too. I mean, I guess we can - why, did you catch some or something?

Yeah, definitely! I went with Michiko-chan and Zoro the other night, we found some pretty good places.

Fish is good! Anyway, I didn't, but I bet I could. I saw a place that looked good for fishing on the edge of town when I was exploring with Chopper.

Oh, so you already went? You still want to go again, right? Me and George-- Well, it might be fun.

It's good, I'm just not in the mood. But what the hell, I don't mind making it. Get me some fish and I'll figure out something to do with it for ya.

Just once. Michiko-chan asked, wasn't about to turn her down~! I'm all for going again, not like I got anything else going on tonight. Plus George-san promised she'd dance with me again.

Awesome! Maybe I'll see if Luffy wants to go fishing tomorrow, then.

Where'd you go? I guess you might know some good places now. Anyway, yeah, that's what I thought. George has been kind of...busy with work, but I know she wanted to.

...we're supposed to have a date sometime, too. Before we leave.

Was there any recipe in particular you were thinking of?

I dunno, some club. I remember where it is, at least. Ahh, yeah, I'm sure George-san could definitely use a break.

Oh yeah? Have you scouted out any good places to take her?

I dunno! Maybe something smoked? You're the expert, though.

Haha, did Zoro really dance? He has to come with us when we go, definitely! I wanna see too!

Nothing really specific. I though maybe we could walk around and shop a little bit, and then have dinner somewhere. I saw a bakery and cafe that looked pretty good. And. Uh. She wants to go to another hotel, I think.

Smoked is good...

Michiko-chan forced him to, yeah. Although he didn't look like he was hating it all that much.

Heh. The one in the town center has room service.

Yeah, and it'll go good with sweet potatoes and squash and stuff.

She's pretty good at getting him to do stuff. Hm. ...do you think he likes her??

...and you know this why?

Alright, alright. You'd better catch a good amount, then!

Eh...I dunno. I haven't been paying attention.

...I just do.

Leave it to me!

Well. Do YOU like her? I know I asked already, kinda, but...

Sure. ...is it very expensive?

Of course I like her. Why wouldn't I like her?

Nah, not really. You could afford it.

I mean LIKE her.

...eh, hopefully. Though...George might want to pay this time, I'm not sure. Or we could just split it.

She's leaving soon, what does it matter.

Splitting is probably a good idea. You'll have more if you pool your money together after all, right?

...yeah, I guess she is. Forget it.

Yeah. I'm not sure how much money George has, but I bet it's more than me. Nami probably gives her an allowance too, right? But she also gets some from her work sometimes, so...

...Forget it? Am I offending you or something?

When are you planning to take this date or yours?

Huh? No! I was just wondering.

Uh. When she doesn't have to work, I guess. Hopefully soon.

Hm.

Your best bet's probably tomorrow. How're you guys doing, anyway?

Hm?

Yeah, maybe. She's been pretty busy the last couple days, but I think it's slowing down a little.

Uh. We're... Okay.

Nothing.

Guess she had a lot of time to make up for, huh. Lucci still going with her?

Okay. Well, that's better than bad.

...yeah, he is.

Yeah, it's...not too bad. Things are still just kind of weird, you know? But sometimes stuff is just like normal again. For a little while, at least.

Ah. Well. At least she has company.

It'll probably be like that for awhile. It's important that you can even have the normal times, though.

She did ASK me if I wanted to come. But she also said she didn't really WANT me to, so...

It'd be better if this weirdness could just...wear off quicker, or something. I dunno. She wanted to have this date, though, so that's good, right?

I wouldn't worry too much about that. Honestly, I doubt it's something you'd want to see and she can handle herself, has been for years and will be for a lot longer than you'll be around.

Yep, definitely good! Have you guys tried talking anymore about the whole thing? Or are you just, like...letting it go?

I guess...

Eh. Sort of? Kind of. But not...REALLY really.

If it wasn't Lucci going with her, would you even be trying to tag along?

...I think you should try being a little more vague there.
