The day after was boring. I had to miss school to recover from last nights events. I will admit, as much as I wanted to skip school one day, its actually boring. All I get to do is lie down & do nothing. I felt bad for Marco, Ace & Thatch though. They had to stay & recover/baby sit me.

"Oi! Vixen!" Thatch called.
"Yeah?!"
"Want some pie?! I made some!"
"You really should try some!" Ace called out. "Thatch makes the best apple pie!"
I chuckled at the thought of Thatch slaving away in the kitchen. "Sure! Ace you better not have eaten it all!"

And just like Ace said, Thatch's apple pie was the best pie that I've ever eaten.

Anyway, every now & then, Kira or Itami would visit, just to make sure that we're alright, and haven't destroyed anything. Kira gave me a wrist cast so that my wrist would be more comfortable, instead of being wrapped up in a tea towel with some ice.

In the end, both Itami & Kira ended up staying with us.

"You know.." I started. "You never told me how you met Kira."
"How I met her, yoi?"
"Yeah."
Marco put on a thoughtful face. "Well, do you remember when I dislocated my knee that day, yoi?"
"Yeah..?"

"Well, Ace rushed me to the hospital, and I was immediately put into Kira's care, yoi. She treated me so carefully...and yet she had this thing about her that drew me to her, yoi."
I grin. "Really?"
"Yeah...next thing you know, we were together..and one thing lead to another, yoi-"
"EW! I don't need to know that you sexed her up, man!"
Marco poked my side. "Its the way of life, yoi."
I rolled my eyes, and kicked him. "I still didn't need to know that, pineapple yoi!"

Immediately, I heard my phone bleep. I got up from the couch, and grabbed my phone that was charging in the kitchen. I pressed the home button, and read the text.

Curly eyebrows:Can I meet up with you? I really need to talk to you.

My heart raced upon reading the message. The only thing I could hear, was me breathing.

Me:Yeah. Where do you want to meet?

"Ooh who texting?" Ace asked.
"S-S-Sa-Sanji. He wants to meet up with me."
"Really?"

My phone bleeped.

Curly eyebrows:The hill thats near the school. I'm already there.

Ace must've read my message, because he's telling Marco about it. Marco walked into the kitchen, and gave me his "Listen to me right now." Look.

"Victoria.." He started. "Its time, yoi. Go get dressed into something nice."
I bit my lip. "O-okay."
"Hey, we can help." Kira said.
"I'm sure we can find something nice for you to wear." Itami chimed in.

The two cousins dragged me upstairs to my room, and sat me down on my bed. They were rummaging through my clothes, and were making a slight mess of my room..it didn't really bother me that much, since my room is messy most days.

"Here! Wear this!" Itami said as she threw clothes at me.

Then, Kira put a pair of white sandals in front of me. She pushed me into my ensuite, and yelled at me to get changed. I huffed, and changed out of my pajamas, and into the dress. As soon as I was out, Kira & Itami sat me down in my make up chair, and curled my hair into lose waves.

"Aaaaalright! You're ready!" Itami cheers.
I bit the inside of my cheek. "I-I'm nervous.."
"Why should you be?"
"I'm confessing to him..." I murmured.

Itami sighed, and tapped my forehead. "You're not using your head properly, girl.  You told me what he said to you, right? Now, you keep telling yourself that he won't accept your confession, or you think you're not worthy of him, to me...what you've been saying is complete utter bull shit. If he's confessed to you, then that means that he will most definitely accept your confession, and it means that he thinks that you're worth his time, Vixen. Victoria, you're a beautiful girl, and you're strong, independent & lovely, caring girl." Itami placed a kiss on my forehead. "Even if you're salty, and slightly scary, Sanji loves that part of you."

"She's right." Kira agrees. "You know he loves you. Now all you have to do, is to get up, and tell him how you feel."

I looked at them both, and smiled. "You know.." I started. "I really want you both as sisters now."
Kira blushed, and Itami rubbed the back of her head sheepishly.
"See? What did I tell you! You're a sweetie!" Itami giggled.
"I'm starting to think whether or not you're sent from heaven."

A knock sounded at my door.

"Are you ready yet, yoi?!"
"Yeah, I am!" I called back.

Itami grinned at me. "Its time, Victoria."
"Text us immediately when you get back."

Next thing I knew, I was in the car with Marco & Kira. I sat in the back seat, twiddling around with my thumbs & finger tips. Sure, Kira & Itami gave me a little bit of confidence, I can't help but feel a little bit nervous.

I...I've never really confessed to someone before.

'Just don't bother with doing a build up. Just tell it to him straight. Faith, trust, and pixie dust.'

Marco slowed to a stop. "We're here, Victoria, yoi."
Kira gave me a smile. "Good luck, little Vixen. Want me to walk with you?"
"No thanks. Well...I'll see you soon."

I got out of the car, and walked up to the hill, where Sanji awaits.
