Robin stood there blushing like a teenage girl over what just happened....and so was Zoro. Perona came to the top of the hill that overlooked the grassy field.
"There you are!" Perona said annoyed "I've been looking all over for you!"
Then she realized Robin was standing next to him looking towards the ground.
"Is she blushing?!" Perona noticed the light pink that painted her face, and Zoro was just straight up red.
"Oh hi Robin, I didn't expect to see you here" Perona said smiling trying to play it off.
"Well in the morning Zoro wasn't there so I got kind of worried as to where he went off to" Robin explained still looking towards the ground.
"I'm surprised he even managed to make it all the way here on his own." Perona scoffed.
Robin let out a heavy laugh. She knew what Perona just said was true.
"Hey!" Zoro said looking towards Robin.
She looked so free the way that she laughed. It was beautiful. I guess Zoro could make an exception only this once. He smiled.
"What are you doing here?" Zoro asked annoyed at the ghost princess for interrupting him and Robin.
"What else was I doing? I was looking for you duh" She said.
"Why? You remember what that bastard Mihawk said, I still got to train even if we're away from that island for a little." Zoro responded back
"Well still I was just wondering were you were that's all" she replied.
Robin felt another wave of jealousy wash over her. What was she thinking? This wasn't like her why does she feel this way? She needed to talk to someone about it.
"I'm fine, Robin came and she's watching over me." Zoro said jokingly.
Robin laughed. "Is that so Zoro? Are you sure you weren't the one taking care of me?" They looked each other in the eyes again.
"Come on let's head back" Perona said interrupting them again.
"You ready to go back Robin?" Zoro asked her.
"Whenever you are" She responded happily.
When the three got back to the house Sabo and Koala were nowhere to be found.
"That's odd, I wonder where they could have gone?" Robin asked curiously.
"Do they usually do this?" Asked Zoro.
"This is the first time" replied Robin.
"They're probably on some important revolution army buisness." Perona chimed in.
"She's probably right" Robin thought to herself.
At around 6 pm there was a knock at the door.
"I'll get it!" Perona offered which was strange of her because she wasn't the type to do things for other people.
She opened the door and standing there was....A bird?
"Whos there Perona?" Robin said while walking up to the door.
Robin saw the bird then turned to Perona.
"A bird?" Robin thought to herself.
"A BIRD?!" Perona thought to herself.
"How funny" Robin laughed. "Do you need something little bird?"
"Are you sure it can understand you?" Perona asked.
"It seems like it" she said laughing.
The bird had a piece of paper in its beak and it handed it over to Robin.
"EHHHHHH?! HOW DOES HE UNDERSTAND?!" Perona was shocked.
Robin just laughed.
"What does it say?" Perona asked curiously as Robin opened the note.
It was from Sabo and Koala!
"HIIIIII ROBIN AND PERONA! Well also hi Zoro if your reading this." This was definitely Koala speaking. "Sorry for not being at the house, me and Sabo had some things to discuss. Robin and Perona meet me at the cafe."
There was another portion at the bottom. This time it was Sabo speaking. "Zoro come meet me at the town bar, let's have a drink together. Don't worry it's on me." They could almost hear his laugh after that last line.
"I wonder what they could want" Robin said out loud.
"Come on let's go Robin!" Perona said excitedly. Perona was unusually excited. She finally got the chance to get closer to the 2 girls and ontop of that over a cup of coffee!
"Perona we must tell Zoro remember?" Robin said.
"Your right! With that long nap he's been taking I forgot he was even here" The ghost princess replied.
Robin laughed at this.
It's true that the swordsman took many naps, but she found it cute. "I'll go wake him up" Robin offered as Perona went to her room to grab her umbrella.
Robin knocked on Zoro's door. "I'm coming in!" She called out.
When she got inside room his swords were placed upright by his bed. He looked so peaceful as he slept, like he didn't have a care in the world. Robin watched his chest rise and fall, his breaths coming out in quiet intervals. Sometimes he would snore quietly but she found it cute.
Did she really want to wake him up?
She knew she had to but she wanted to keep watching him sleep. She smiled.
"Zoro wake up" Robin said quietly while shaking him.
Her hand was just to the right of his chest. Her heart pounded. Something inside of her wanted to move her hand across his chest.
"Zoro" she called out again while shaking him still.
This time he finally started to wake up. "Hm?" He said sleepily.
"Zoro, Sabo said he wanted to met you at the town bar."
Zoro was still half asleep when she said this. He opened his eyes and saw Robin standing over him.
Zoro sat up immediately. "Robin? What are you doing here?" Not that he had a problem with it.
She laughed "Did I startle you?"
"N-no" Zoro stuttered.
"Oh please" she said smiling. She took a seat next to him on the bed. "Sabo said he wanted to meet you at the town bar."
"Sabo? What's this about?" Zoro asked curiously.
He wasn't all too close with Sabo so it was strange he was asking him to a drink.
"I'm not sure, see?" She held up the letter in front of it and Zoro read it.
"I see. Well a drink is a drink" he smirked.
"Don't overdo it ok?" Robin said while smiling.
How could Zoro say no to her.
Robin and Perona led Zoro to the bar before they went to the cafe to meet with Koala.
"Take care ok Zoro?" Robin said.
It made Zoro happy that she cared for him.
"I will" he said giving her a smile.
This made her smile.
They said goodbye and Zoro was left in front of the bar.
He pushed the door open and went in to see Sabo.
