You and your best friend have a crush on the same person, how do you handle it?

I would choose my best friend (If I had any friends, that is)

Lia and Shun peeked and saw everyone cheering and dancing. Though, Lia's eyes subconsciously searched for the green haired swordsman.

There he was... drinking booze without a care in the world.

And that hurt her.

Knowing that he's happy without her company hurts.

"Stop thinking about him. You're only hurting yourself." Shun said.

"I can't just tell my mind to stop thinking about him." Lia said.

"Yeah, you're right." Shun said, before grabbing her hand, "But look at him. He doesn't seem to care, so do the same. Smile and pretend that you're happy, you're a professional at that."

"Wow... that's a great advice," Lia sarcastically said, "Considering the fact that you don't fellow your own advice."

Shun glares at her and made themselves present, "Shut up, will you? This is different."

Lia rolls her eyes, "Whatever you say, Shun."

"Lia!" Nami exclaimed as she hugs her.

Lia hugs her back, "Hey!"

"Finally! You're awake!" Luffy exclaimed.

Lia stuck her tongue at him and waved at Usopp, who smiles at her.

"Glad you're doing okay." Robin said, smiling.

"Yup! I'm all better now." Lia said.

"Lia-chan, you have to tell us this kind of stuff." Sanji said, "You could have died, you know?"

Lia gave him a eye-close smile, "Sorry about that."

Sanji's cheeks reddened and light up his cigarette.

"No excuses, Lee!" The cute reindeer exclaimed, "Next time tell us!"

"I will!"

"Anyway, let's continue partying!" Luffy gleefully said.

Everyone cheered and went back to dance and sing. And while everyone celebrated, Lia walks away from the throng, not having the motivation to party.

Lia sigh sadly, looking down as her back leaned against a tree.

"Imposter! Where's the Lia I know?! The one who's always smiling!"

Lia cracks a smile and looks at her friend, Usopp.

"There she is!"

"Thanks for that, Pinocchio." Lia said.

Usopp laughs, "Pinocchio? Is my new nickname?"
