Water Bottle
Oct. 25th, 2005 02:14 pmI guess (hope) there's going to be a flood of posts tomorrow. Or maybe the topic's too easy. Creativity, by its definition, presents itself in the contrasting light of limitations.
Title: Water Bottle
Rating: PG-13 (for a tiny bit of language)
Pairing: implied ?/San, ?/Lu, Uso/?? (I don't want to give too much away, ok?)
Word Count: 300 (I can't count how many times I've rewritten this piece)
Topic: Water
********************************
Earlier:
Water balloon fight + subsequent freshwater pedal-pump breakdown = CRISIS
Now:
Sanji’s glaring at me, daring me to say anything as he drinks from his bottle. To be fair, he’d probably have given me his share if there’d been no alternatives.
Chopper and Robin are looking guilty. Robin seems about to hand over her bottle but Zoro stops her.
“No,” he says, “You two are ill right now, and need all the liquid you can get. Besides, we don’t want your germs spreading.”
He’s right. Plus, if it weren’t for them, we’d never have known about the cold spring water geyser that only erupts once a month, or that the native birds use the resulting water for potty every month.
The Plan:
One person distracts birds while other four get water.
Guess who got the short straw.
Doesn’t seem like Zoro’s going to let me have his bottle, either. He refuses to say why.
But I can figure out why. It’s because Zoro doesn’t want to risk Sanji finding out about his two-timing. And if I were a suicidal idiot, I would point it out.
::sigh:: Guess I’ll have to face my doom, who, by the way, has been looking at me with his lips puckered this whole time. Every slight movement creates a sloshing sound and motion from his grossly expanded cheeks. It’s probably only the power of friendship that’s keeping him from swallowing.
Whoever it was that dropped the water bottle meant for me will pay. Big time.
“You can imagine it’s Kaya you’re locking lips with,” Nami oh-so-unhelpfully suggests as she finishes the last cool, clear, delicious drop from her bottle. Bitch.
No amount of self-delusion will change the fact that Luffy (Zoro's seeeecret lover) is doubling as a water pouch.
As well as my soon-to-be-first-kiss.
********************************
I would greatly appreciate it if I could get feedback on whether the drabble made sense or not. As in, was anybody not able to figure out what happened?

Date: 2005-10-26 02:37 am (UTC)Explaination and Editting
Date: 2005-10-26 09:50 am (UTC)I went back and editted the post to make the pairings more clear (just changed three words).
Also, I had attempted to explain what happened to the water supply in the beginning by using the equation statement. Basically, there was a water balloon fight, but soon after that bicycle machine used to convert seawater to freshwater broke down, thus leaving our heroes in a state of crisis.
Hopefully, the part about Chopper and Robin being ill explains why they didn't participate in the plan to get the water before the birds fouled (<-no pun intended) it up.
::sigh:: This is what I get when I think too much about the details...
