Trying Short 6: Happy Pyromaniac Day!

You weren't sure what made you think this was a good idea.

You had a box sitting on a picnic table in front of you, one of the random ones that were scattered throughout the park, Law sat across from you, eyeing the contents inside the box.

"They are going to enjoy this..." He comments, glancing at you before looking back at the box.

"Why did I think this was a good idea..?" You asked him and his lips twitch upward a bit and you know he secretly found this amusing.

"(Naaaaame)!" You heard Luffy call out to you, turning around you see him, Usopp, and Chopper running in your direction.

"Hey guy's, where's the other three?" You ask when they reach you.

"They went exploring, I'm hungry." Luffy answers, also asking, once again, for food. You look at Law, who's getting up and sighing before walking back over to a smoking grill.

"Law's still cooking, I'll tell you when it's done okay?" You ask him and he pouts a bit before noticing the box.

"What's that?" He asks curiously, standing on his toes to try and peek into it. You close the box and pat the top of his head.

"I'll show you later, go play." You shoo him, only to be grabbed and dragged along with him.

"Play with me!" He says, grinning up at you, you smile at him and giggle.

"How could I say no to someone as adorable as you?~" You bend over and scoop him up, spinning around as you do so. He starts laughing so you spin faster, by the time you stop the both of you are dizzy.

An hour later Law called for you, you laugh to yourself.

"Okay guys, I think that means dinner's done!" You called out, Luffy jumps out almost instantly from a tree and sprints over to Law.

"Foooood!" The rubber boy cheers as he practically tackles the one armed doctor. You looked around, still not seeing the other three.

"I'll go find the other three, don't let Luffy eat everything!" You remind Law who just waves you off, swatting at Luffy with the spatula as the boy tries to make seven hamburgers.

You walk around for a bit, not really seeing them anywhere.

"Aaaace? Saaabooo? Marcoooo?" You call out for them as you walk.

"Foods dooooone!" You reach the edge of the forest and sigh, your eyes turning into slits as you activate your fruit. You sniffed the air, almost instantly picking up the boy's smell.

Ace smelled like a campfire, Sabo smelled like candles and paper, Marco smelled like the ocean.

They went separate ways multiple times as you followed Ace's trail, and sometimes Sabo when they seemed to cross paths.

"Aaace!" You called out for him while following his path, he had ran into Marco around this spot, you started following the older blond's scent.

"Maarcoooo?" You called out to him, his scent was the strongest out of the three, he had been in this area recently, so if anyone can hear you, it would probably be him.

"Yes?" You jump a bit, turning quickly to see Marco hanging upside down from a low branch. He smirks when he notices he's startled you.

"Dinner's done.." You huff, blushing a bit for the fact a kid scared you. He lets go of the branch, turning up right in mid air and lands on his feet.

"Okay." Is all he says before walking in the direction you had came from.

"Where's Ace and Sabo?" You ask him and he shrugs before disappearing behind a bush.
