You frown at the ATM machine. "Damn, we'll have to try the one deeper in town," You sigh.

"What's wrong with this one?" Law asks. You give it a light kick and it opens.

"This one has been Aced," You reply.

"Aced?" He echoes as you both continue for town.

"Yeah, Ace took pill D.F before they were made illegal, he can use fire. So he burns the ATM locks and empties them," You explain.

"That's why you didn't want to face them," He guesses.

"Marco is one too," You add, rolling your shoulders. "But I was less worried about Ace. He's not that bad..."

"He seemed awfully familiar with you," He comments.

"Yeah well we kinda were going out for a while there..." You admit, scratching your cheek. "But I suck at romantic relationships and things got messy..." You add. He hums in response. "Sorry, you probably don't really care huh?"

"Actually, that explains a lot," He says, looking ahead.

"Anyway, the next ATM should be ahead and- dammit!" You growl, checking your pockets.

"What's wrong?" He asks.

"I forgot the window measurements..." You curse, about to turn around.

"It was 60-30 inches," He tells you. You stop and look at him in surprise.

"You remember?" You inquire. He gives a nod and slight smirk.

"I have a very good memory," He states. You relax and smile.

"Thank god!" You gasp cheerfully. "That'll make things much easier! Come on!" You chime, leading the way. He blinks at your back, lips pulling up slightly before following you. You got the money you would need for the next couple days and discreetly transfer it to your wallet. You start for the hardware store, but don't get far.

"___!" A familiar voice calls, making you tense.

"I fucked up..." You whisper, glancing toward Law as he gives you a questioning look. You look over to see an all too familiar cop. "S-Smokey! What's up?" You ask with a nervous smile as he stops in front of you and folds his arms.

"I got a report a few days ago about someone from Red Convoy streaking through the park at night, you wouldn't happen to know about that would you?" He questions.

"He wasn't streaking, he was in his boxers," You sigh.

"Is that so?" He rumbles.

"It is, I would've left him alone if he had been naked... I'm sorry Mr. Smoker, it won't happen again," You tell him. His eyes narrow at you before closing.

"Alright, be good today." He says before leaving you and Law alone.

"May I ask?" Law inquires.

"Remember when I told you about finding Zoro in the park?.... He was naked...." You sigh as you both continue on.

"Not even boxers?" He asks.

"Nope, I had to knock his drunk ass out before redressing him.... I'm too nice sometimes..." You grumble. Law chuckles, shaking his head.

"I agree that is too nice," He comments. Silence follows as you get to the hardware store and get the window needed. You carry it back out with Law's assistance.

"Maybe we should've brought Zoro too, the muscle head could walk it back himself," You mutter.

"Are you tired already ___-ya?" He asks. You pause, hearing your name come off his lips and giggling. He raises an eyebrow at your back. "What's funny?"

"You do say that at the end of everyone's name! That's so cute!" You giggle, making him blush and scowl.

"I... I take it you're not tired then," He mutters.

"Nope," You chuckle. You lead the way back to the house with a slight smile. "I'm sorry you came to Red Convoy at a bad time, we usually have less problems then this," You tell him.

"It's fine, I'm used to things like this," He admits.

"That's too bad," You murmur.

"Why do you say that?" He asks. You offer a shrug.

"I'm sure things will get better for you, Red Convoy will make that happen, even if it doesn't seem like that right now..." You tell him.

"You sure are optimistic," He comments.

"Not really, I just... Get things..." You reply, a bit unsurely. Law hums as you both carry the window inside. "Retrieval team is back! Repair team's turn~" You chime.

"On it." Zoro and Usopp say together.

(T.L~ Where have you been? I miss you~)

((What are you talking about? We spoke this morning))

(We did? Feels like it was yesterday...)

((Long day?))

(Yeah, but I think I made a new friend so I can't complain)

((Yeah? Me too))

(We're moving on up T! I can feel it!)

((We are? Just because we made new friends ?))

(Of course! Don't you know friends can make you stronger?)

((Are you drunk?))

(Aw! T! Did you really make a friend then?)

((What.... What exactly do friends do?))

(They chat, and hang out, and have eachothers backs no matter what!)

((Are we friends?))

(Of course we are T!)

((I see... Well I'll check in now.... Goodnight _._, sweet dreams))

(Heh, I was about to say goodnight! Sweet dreams T.L! Chat with you tomorrow!)
