Sanji peered over the tops of the barrels, and all that was there was a mouse a small brown mouse. So he walked back to Usopp obviously slightly irritated.

"Well Usopp the only thing there was a mouse. A small mouse at that. Are you afraid of mice now too?" Sanji asked with a slightly agitated tone to his voice.

"No of course not. The great captain Usopp would never be afraid of mice. Besides I know what I felt was bigger than a mouse." Usopp said defending himself.

"Whatever you say Usopp." Sanji said as he walked off to finish checking on everyone. He walked by where Luffy was and by where Chopper was. Then he made his way to the crows nest where Zoro was. He climbs up the ladder to the crows nest. When he finally gets to the top and looks in on Zoro he is amazed by the fact that Zoro is awake.

"What do you want?” Zoro asked slightly irritated that someone had invaded his quite spot.

"Nothing. Nami-swan wanted to make sure everyone was still on guard duty that’s all." Sanji explained.

"Sanji I'm hungry!!!" Luffy yelled from the figure head.

"Well that is my sign to start dinner." Sanji stated as he turned to the ladder and started back down.

He's finally gone. Glad he made as much noise as he did coming up or I probably would have got kicked again. Zoro thought to himself as he watched the clouds go by. Time passed slowly and quietly being disrupted only occasionally by Luffy yelling that he was hungry. Around sunset Sanji finally stuck his head out the kitchen door and yelled that dinner was ready. Luffy's ears perked up as he heard some of his favorite words. Then he proceeded to slingshot himself to the kitchen. Chopper and Nami both came out of their rooms and headed to the kitchen. Zoro who was all the way up in the crows nest decided it would take to long to climb down the ladder so he jumped down from the crows nest and rolled a bit and got up then headed towards the kitchen.

Dinner went by like usual loud noisy and slightly messy. After cleaning up their mess from dinner everyone went off to do their own thing. Luffy went back to the figurehead. Chopper went off to look at some of his medical books. Zoro went to do some weight training to work dinner off. Usopp went to experiment with some new weapon like thing and Nami wondered to the deck to watch the stars come out. As time passed they one by one when off to bed as Nami headed off to her room she yelled to Zoro "It's your turn for night watch, make sure not to fall asleep." Then she went in her room and shut the door and Zoro was the only one left wake. Zoro continued his training for a couple more hours. After a while he grew bored with the weight lifting so he put them away and plopped down next to the railing and watched the stars for a while.

While Zoro was star gazing on the deck Luffy and Usopp were both sleeping quite soundly while snoring so loud it could be heard outside of the room. Sanji was muttering in his sleep. Luffy started grabbing around with his hand. Eventually he grabbed his pillow and proceeded to gnaw on it. He then muttered something about meat flavored clouds and settled down again this time with the pillow in his mouth. A breeze blew in through the hatch that Usopp had left open and rustled some papers that had been scatter across the room. Sanji was sleeping in the hammock above Usopp's hammock as he laid there sleeping there was a thunk sound as something landed on his chest. But since he was in such a deep sleep he barely noticed it. He just mumbled something without even waking up. Then he noticed that something was moving around on his chest. Being mostly asleep still the first thing out of his mouth was "Nami-swan you've finally come to confess your love for me." As he grabbed for what he thought was Nami. As soon as he grabbed it he realized it wasn't Nami and through what ever it was off of him and screamed a slightly girlish scream. In the process of throwing of throwing it he flipped himself off the hammock in to Usopp and his hammock. Which made Usopp jump and fling them both out of that hammock and into the mast. Of course all of the noise didn't even bother Luffy.

"Get off me!" Usopp yelled as he tried to untangle himself from Sanji and their blankets.

"I'm trying to." Sanji shouted back.

After finally untangling himself Sanji scrambled up the ladder on the mast and jumped on to the deck. He then looked around slightly puzzled. Zoro looked up from his spot by the railing and asked Sanji. "What was going on down there? Did Usopp find another mouse or something? "

Sanji was going to tell Zoro about the furry thing that was on him but after realizing that he had screamed like a girl he decided to change his story a little. "Usopp woke up to something furry setting on him. I came out here to see if I could find it." As Sanji was telling Zoro his slightly changed story Usopp climbed out of the room.

"That’s not what happened and you know it. You were the one that was screaming because the thing was on you." Usopp exclaimed pointing at Sanji.

"Usopp quit lying you know I don't scream like that. Anyways did you see anything furry climb out of the room?" Sanji asked Zoro.

"Haven't seen any thing furry up here all night. You might as well go back to sleep it was probably a mouse or something" Zoro responded.

With that Sanji and Usopp both went back down to the room and crawled back in to their hammocks. Usopp fell right back to sleep figuring Sanji had just had a dream and thought that something furry was on him. Sanji on the other hand couldn't go to sleep because he knew something furry had been sitting on him.
