Yeah, you really do. And...anyway, okay. If you say so.

...I. Don't know. I wasn't really thinking about that; I mean, I figured it could just be me and George, but.....I guess I should probably ask about it. ...that really WOULD make it not a date, though.

Well it's fun, isn't it? And hey, you're not a bad partner.

Ah...sorry. I just—I don't know how your ménage à trois thing works. It's fine with just the four of us! You don't need to ask.

Yeah, it's a lot of fun! Thanks for teaching me in the first place!

Like I said - no problem, Usopp!

So...how'd I do??

Not bad! I definitely think you're ready to hit the town!

Awesome!! I'll make you proud!!

By the way: happy birthday, Sanji!!

...Ah. Thanks, Usopp!

No problem, Sanji!!

...well, I don't really know if I know how it works either. But...I dunno. It's probably not good for me to just...assume things, either. I mean. Well...I asked George to do something on Valentine's Day, because I figured Lucci wouldn't care, and he said he DIDN'T, but...George still asked him to do something with her anyway. So...

Yeah, but. That was Valentine's Day, that's different. It's not like you have to make sure everything stays...I dunno, "even" between you guys. You can go on a date with your girlfriend without either of them needing to make sure they plan something else to keep the score the same. At least...that's what I think, but I guess I don't know.

...m-maybe. That's the problem; I really don't know either. I tried asking Lucci about how everything was supposed to work and he didn't really have anything specific except...being honest? I mean...maybe we're just supposed to figure it out as we go along.

I guess there aren't really rules for that sort of thing. I dunno, it's up to you if you want to ask him, but I think it'll be better with just the four of us.

...I'd rather it just be us four too. But...

Well. He probably doesn't even LIKE amusement parks.

Look, honestly, even if he does, I kind of just want to shove Zoro and George at each other and this is a good excuse to do that and...I don't know.

...good point. Just the four of us. Uh. Okay, maybe we should just plan for that, then. I'll...I dunno. I'll tell him about it, though. I don't THINK he'll care or even want to come in the first place, but...I dunno, it feels sneaky otherwise.

You can tell him, I don't care. Not like it was gonna be a secret. Anyway, he and Zoro just randomly went off at each other, so even if he had wanted to come, that’s shot to hell.

No, I didn't mean it would be a SECRET, just--

Wait. ...what? WHY?? Are they like...seriously fighting??

I know you didn't, I'm just saying it doesn't matter if he knows or not.

Well. They're not like beating the shit out of each other, no. They just sort of blew up.

...maybe not. I don't know. I guess I'd just rather know if they were gonna do something like this, that's all. So I'm just trying to--I just wish there were RULES or something. I mean, me and Lucci kind of talked about it, but nothing really came of it. And George and me did a little too, but...maybe we all three should try and...figure something out. It's just...that would be kind of...it's not really something we really WANT to do, I guess. At least, I know I think it's kind of hard to talk about, and I'm pretty sure George feels the same way, and partly too if we don't think about it too hard, we can just pretend things are normal.

...sorry, I'm rambling to you about stuff again. Uh. If you mind, just. Tell me to shut up about it, okay?

Mm... Alright, look, I told this to Lucci but I don't know if he's going to do anything with it, so. I really think the three of you should sit down somewhere and talk. Together. Figure it out, like you said. Go back to pretending later or something, but for one night just put all the cards on the table and get it over with.

...yeah. I know, I know. It's just...not really something I WANT to do. But you're right, we probably SHOULD. I'll. Um. Maybe I'll mention it to George.
