Scarred Memories of the Past

Today was Saturday, sweet Saturday~

The entire table burst out laughing after hearing you narrate what happened last night.

After the little-"incident"-with the kiss, you and Kaku continued eating your dinner in awkward silence. Your eye still hurt like hell but now you had a patch over it which you had to keep on for over the weekend.

Koala clutched her stomach while laughing, rolling on the floor, and banging her hand. Kaya and Vivi covered their mouths while giggling. Ace was rolling on the floor with Koala while Sabo...yeah, he was snickering with his head down.

"Don't underestimate the power of giraffe man's nose." Aze sneered at you. "Although I already promised to not ruin the date, you pretty much screwed it up yourself, (Name)."

"HIS NOSE WAS FREAKISHLY LONG, OKAY?" You retort with a scowl, "What the hell was I suppose to do?!"

Sabo coughed, eyes still watery from laughing. "So, what happened afterwards?"

"I ate my baguette," You replied.

"You ate your baguette?" He echoes.

"Yes, I ate my baguette." You confirm, shrugging, "It was a pretty delicious baguette."

Sabo slammed his head on the table and started laughing again, your face was steaming red. The only one who wasn't laughing was Usopp, he just looked at Kaya like he just realized that they were going to have the same problem.

Breakfast was over within minutes but since you didn't have any classes, everyone decided to finish preparations for next week's festival.

"Hey, (Name), Sabo," Nami called from one of the booths. You and Sabo walked over. "Can you guys get something for me?" She holds out a small list of ingredients.

"Where do we get these?" You inquire after reading the list. "Sea fruit? Shellfish meat?"

Nami grins at you, something told you that this was not going to be easy. "You can ask the stuff from Mermaid Cafe."

"Which is where?" You gave her a this-better-be-worth-it look.

"It's located in the lake." She replies. You and Sabo look at each other.

"The lake?!"

"Mhm, that's right."

"How does a cafe even end up in a lake?" Sabo asks, giving a small sigh. Nami just smiles sweetly at the two of you.

"Fine, fine." You both agree in unison, then left for the lake where you had camp a few days before.

The lake was large but had no signs of a cafe anywhere nearby. You searched low and you searched high. After a few minutes of walking around aimlessly, you collapse.

"WHERE IS THE STUPID CAFE?!?!" You yell, but your screams were muffled because you had your face on the ground.

"Maybe it's underwater?" Sabo inquires, rubbing his eyes then squinting at something in the water.

"That's impossible, Sabo," You murmur. You roll on your back and stare at him as he continued to squint his eyes. What's he looking at?

You stand up and press your cheek to his. "What in the world-"

Beneath the water and stationed on top of colorful coral reefs was a shell-decorated cafe. What surprised you even most was the people swimming around inside it, which you could catch a glimpse of through the windows.
