   "I'm...burning...up...," Luffy panted, walking with a stick, and his tongue sticking out of the side of his mouth, "I...don't...think...I...can...sweat...anymore."

"Will you please stop doing that," Nami frowned, walking beside Vivi, and wiping the sweat from her brow, "You're making the rest of us hot with all your pathetic groaning."

"Can't...take hot...weather," Chopper moaned, his tongue sticking out, and being pulled by Zoro on a makeshift sleigh, "Can't...go...on."

"It's because of all that fur," Usopp glared, walking with a stick, and his tongue sticking out, "Why don't you take off that stupid reindeer costume?"

"What did you just say to me, Big-Nose?," Chopper glared, getting a huge tick mark on his head, turning himself big, and getting in Usopp's face, "DON'T MAKE FUN OF REINDEERS!"

"AHHH! MONSTER!!!!" Usopp shrieked, throwing his hands up in the air.

"Chopper, don't turn yourself big," Zoro frowned, glancing back at Chopper, "Or I'm going to stop pulling you."

"WHO ARE YOU CALLING A MONSTER, YOU LONG-NOSED FREAK?!!!" Chopper bared his teeth at Usopp, getting into Usopp's face.

"Take it easy on the nose or I'm going to have to get tough with you." Usopp blustered, his knees shaking.

"TURN SMALL WILL YAH!" Zoro ordered, hitting Chopper on the back, and a tick mark on his head.

"Furnace, put me down now," I directed, lightly hitting Ace's head, starting to climb down from Ace's back (he still was giving me a piggyback ride), only for him to tighten his grip on me, "Flames, put me down."

"Don't want to." Ace smirked, walking as he carried me on his back.

"I'm dying from the heat," I glared, hitting his back with my fists, "And you're just making it worse. SO PUT ME DOWN!"

"Nope," Ace smirked smugly, popping the "p", and continuing to walk, "Just deal with it."

"So...hot," Luffy moaned, using a stick to walk, and his tongue sticking out, "Need...water..."

"Fine, but only one mouthful Luffy," Nami ruled, handing the jug of water to Luffy, getting tick marks on her head when Luffy filled his mouth with water, baring her teeth at him, and punching him on the head, "DON'T DRINK SO MUCH!!"

"You did say one mouthful," Shadow sweatdropped, watching the scene before, and walking beside Sanji, "You really should've made it clearer on who's mouth your basing that off of, Luffy's or a normal person's."

"IDIOT, YOU BETTER SAVE SOME OF THAT WATER FOR USOPP!" Usopp bared his teeth at Luffy, punching him on the head.

"Hold on, you just had some, so I get some now," Sanji bared his teeth, rushing over to them, and fighting with them as they kicked up a sand cloud, "GIVE IT HERE!"
