Title: Battle in the Desert! Behind the Music: The Strawhats
Word Count: 202.
Rating: PG-13.
Pairing: Luffy/Zoro.
Topic: AU/AR.
“Usopp! Have you seen my shoes?”
“They were next to your guitar case last time I saw them, Sanji. Can you help me with this?”
“Isn’t Chopper supposed to be doing that?”
“He works too hard as it is. He and Vivi and Carue are getting the stage set up now anyway. We need more roadies and a better wiring tech—I’m not a professional and it shows every time one of our amps blows out. We should have hired that guy…whatshisface, with the eyebrows.”
“Nami-san didn’t like him, and—”
“—and Nami’s the manager. I know, I know. Though he liked her a little too much.”
“Weasely bastard. I didn’t like him either.”
“You wouldn’t.”
“Where are Luffy and Zoro? They can get their asses out here and work for a living like the rest of us.”
“Uhhh…in the back.”
“Goddammit. Isn’t there a rule about this somewhere?”
“If there is, it wasn’t in my contract. It’s also not in my contract to go back there and risk getting a drumstick shoved up my nose to go get them.”
“Fuck.”
“Yeah, pretty much.”
“…”
“…”
“You want me to give you a hand…?”
“Why Sanji, I thought you’d never ask.”
Title: Battle in the Desert! Behind the Music: The Marines
Word Count: 267.
Rating: PG.
Pairing: Implied Smoker/Ace, attempted Hina/Tashigi.
Topic: AR/AU.
“I’m not doing it!”
“Hina…”
“NO! Hina is not kissing Tashigi onstage! No offense, Tashigi.”
“I agree that it’s disgusting and puerile, much like most of the bands we’re playing against. But it would garner a higher percentage of the crowd vote, and if we win the Alabasta Battle, we can finally quit opening for some of these assholes and start having them open for us instead.”
“No! Hina is shocked that you would even suggest such a thing! Besides, if you make us do such a thing, you should have to drag your new boy out onstage and kiss him too.”
“NO! I’m not doing that to Ace! Hell, we just met, you evil wench!”
“And Tashigi and I aren’t even dating. Turnabout is fair play.”
“It…I…no. NO. It doesn’t work that way.”
“Then Hina is leaving now, and will be back when you quit being stupid.”
“Dammit, Hina! Great, this is just what we needed…”
“Uh…Smoker…wouldn’t it be better to win against these other bands by virtue of our music being better?”
“Sometimes, Tashigi, I think you’re too idealistic to be in this business.”
“But—"
“Two words: Baroque Works. Can Doublefinger sing? No. Do they care? No. Do they sell CDs? Hell yes. Crocodile is a bastard, but he’s a genius at marketing.”
“…I want us to win for us.”
“So do I. But life usually doesn’t work out that way. The people who play fair usually come in last.”
“Just this time? Please?”
“All right. But after this, no whining! Grow a spine, woman!”
“Yes sir.”
“I’ll call Hina. Quit smirking.”
“Yes sir.”
