      When I looked back at Zoro he was still going strong but, hardly, he was exasperated and exhausted. But that’s all I remember because pretty soon I got too tired and my arms and legs could not move any more.

I think I slept through most of the day because most of my sleeping time I felt the sun on me. Opening my eyes I noticed Zoro was sitting by me awake and worried.

      “You’re awake,” he said.

      “Yeah, I’m fine,” I said minus the fact that I was thirsty already, and hungry. “I’m sorry I made it harder for you,” I told him.

      He didn’t say anything but he itched his head.

      “Don’t worry Zoro, I know you’d swim to the moon and back for me,” I told him almost sarcastically, “Have you found anything here?”

      “No, I just walked around a bit, but I haven’t seen anything edible or drinkable so you’re going to have to help me on those things.”

      “And you didn’t get lost,” I asked surprised.

      He didn’t say anything he just looked around.

      I then decided that we would go and look for food and water. The forest was mostly full of palm trees and other taller oak trees. Sloths and birds were hanging in the trees as we would walk past them the birds would instantly fly away. It was really green and humid so we’re expecting that the trees and the animals get their water somehow so we just kept on going in through the jungle.  The others said that there was fresh spring water, and food here, inside the jungle so we just had to find it. So we walked through the jungle to find various plants and insects and reptiles. But not water or food.

      “Wait a second,” Zoro thought, “I saw pineapples, and coconuts on the shore and,” he reached into his sash. “Yes,” he pulled out a large flask.

      “We can’t live off of,” I took the flask from his hands opened it and sniffed it, “What is this?”

      “I don’t remember,” he told me taking it back and capping it.

      I then grabbed it back and took a swig of it, “most definitely whiskey,” he grabbed it back as I said, “We still need water though,”

      “Let’s just go back to the shore and eat the pine apples and coconuts, so that the others can find us easier,” he told me.

      Turning around I agreed with him and led the way back to the shore. By the time we got to the shore it was already nighttime. Once Zoro saw a coconut tree he would go up and slice down a couple of coconuts and the same with pineapples. When we got enough we went back to the beach and started eating them.

We just talked for a while and drank more and eventually my body couldn’t stand the rum anymore. I am what you call the happy girl drunk. And it must have been extremely awkward for Zoro considering alcohol never affects him.

      “I think you’ve had enough to drink,” Zoro told me grabbing the flask from me.

      “How would you know I only drank ¾ of it,” I mumbled.

      “You had there is one swig left in the bottle,” he exclaimed looking at the empty bottle.

      “You’re a fun ruiner,” I slurred trying to grab the flask back but just wounded up on his lap instead. “Give it back to me,” I whined.
