A New Heart

A Victor

Chi's POV:
When they found out who I am I got the reactions I usually did. They looked scared of me.
Law decided to leave.
Thankfully.
Law helped me into the wagon. He took the seat next to me and Penguin sat across from us. He was beaming, grinning wide. "Wow. So that was a ball."
Penguin began going on and on about the people he'd met.
I paid him no attention. My mind was reeling and tangling with thoughts.
As we rode I was falling asleep. I laid my head on Law's shoulder.
"Are you tired Chi?" Law asked.
I simply nodded.

When we got to the docks I was trying to keep my eyes open. They kept drooping.
Arms wrapped around me and I was lifted. I opened my eyes a crack. Law was smirking down at me.
"Thank you Law" I said.
I was in and out of sleep until I felt cushion under me.
I woke up and fluttered my eyes open.
Law was still smirking at me. "Turn over."
I turn over onto my stomach. By the feel of the amazingly soft sheets I know I'm in Law's bed. My face buries in a cushy pillow.
I feel exhausted, just wanting to fall asleep.
He unzips my dress. Then he tries to tug it down but it's stuck on my shoulders. I felt crabby with his tugging and fiddling.
Just let me sleep.
"Turn over again" he said gently.
I whined at him. Leave me alone.
"Turn over or sleep in your dress."
I grumbled turning myself over.
"Don't grumble at me. I'm doing all the work."
I hummed.
He tugged again but this time the dress slipped down my shoulders and he pulled it off my body.
I sighed happily. I became much more comfortable.
A sheet came over my body.
"Thank you" I murmured.
After that I was out.

Bepo's POV:
It was breakfast time. Penguin had been telling us about the ball, but I wanted to hear more from the captain.

He and Chi came in later. Shachi had a nosebleed seeing Chi. She wore just one of the captain's shirts. It was long on her, but still showed a lot of leg.
She sat next to me.
"Morning Fuzzles" she said sleepily. She still looked tired.
"Would you like to sit in my lap?" I asked.
Her tires eyes beamed. She quickly crawled in my lap. She nuzzled her face into my neck. I hummed in content. Chi liked to do it because my fur is soft but I also enjoyed it because in the process she would massage my neck.
Law put a plate of food before me and Chi.
"Eat" he said.
I reached out to take some but he hit my hand. "Not you. It's for Chi."
She chuckled and took some.
Captain turned to the crew. "Get to work" he growled. "We're leaving in seven days. This ship better be spotless."
They all scampered out.
"How was the ball?" I asked.
"It was okay" captain said.
Chi chuckled from my lap. "It was better than okay for me" she grinned. "I won the bet."
I looked down at her nibbling on her food. "You won?"
She nodded. "I was a perfect lady."
"What are you going to have the captain do?" I asked.
She giggled. "I'm not sure yet."
"Tch" captain said.
She smirked at him. "Don't be a sore loser Law."
