"What is this?" Jenna asked to no one in particular.

She was staring at a trail of rose petals leading from the room to somewhere. She couldn't tell if this was meant to be romantic or not.

"Seriously. Who's messing with me?" She sighed.

Feni, her prized Chocolate Brown Labrador puppy, trotted over to a petal and began sniffing it curiously. "Arf?" He said, glancing up at his mistress, before following the trail.

Jenna giggled. If someone in the crew had done this, then Ace wouldn't be too happy about it.

"Feni, wait for me!" She called to her pup, following him to wherever this mysterious trail leads to.

She passed by several rooms, which made her very curious. Was the one leaving her all these gifts going to reveal themselves?

Her heartbeat quickened, this was getting really interesting!

Feni turned a corner, and so did she. Then, almost immediately, heard a loud familiar voice of a certain Whitebeard commander.

"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS-YOI?!"

-Flashback-

Ace covered his mouth to hold back his laughter.

Oh how Marco was going to kill her for this when he finds out.

Jewel grinned wide, proud of the room she had just finished decorating. "What do ya think, Portgas?" She smirked, glancing over her shoulder at the said pirate. "Think sis'll like it?"

Ace snickered, "Jewel, this is just brilliant."

She giggled and looked back at the room.

Marco was coming back from a trip later, so when the mischievous nekogirl found out, she couldn't help herself.

Everything in his room were replaced to have a pineapple printed theme. From the sheets on his bed, to the shirts in his closet, down to the new wallpaper Jewel had bought for an occasion precisely like this one.

She had left a trail of rose petals from Ace's room to Marco's so Jenna could follow it and see her 'awesome interior designing skills'.

Nodding satisfied with herself, she had one thing left to do: write a note to Jenna.

Jewel took out a stationary and taped it to the wall.

What should she write?

Pursing her lips in thought, she tapped the paper with her pencil, before gasping loudly as an idea popped into her head. Quickly, she scribbled it down, then left the room.

-End of Flashback-

Jenna stood at the doorway of Marco's room. Her eyes went wide and her jaw dropped open.

"Oh my god..." She breathed, staring at the pineapples everywhere.

Marco stood beside her, a pissed off expression on his face.

Jenna looked up at the angry division commander, then back at the room. She remained silent for a minute, processing in the entire situation.

She quietly scanned the room with her eyes, then stopped, seeing a piece of stationary taped to the wall next to Marco's bed.

The stationary was pineapple printed and had one word written on it:

'Yoi'

Jenna smiled...

Then laughed.

Hard.
