That's not really a thing that happens, is it?

I'm not telling you a bed time story. Ask Shanks for that.

I suppose you can't though, can you?

You can also stop telling me to go to bed. I'm the adult here! And I'm busy.

[bigsmile]

( ooof right in the kokoro. )

hey, i know if shanks was here right now he'd tell the BEST bed time story.

nope you're still cranky. and who's too busy to sleep?

[theflashyfool]

[Hey, he set himself up for that.]

He lacks the imagination and creativity for good bed time stories.

I'm having some drinks. Sleep is the last thing on my mind.

[bigsmile]

whatever story he tells would be twice as good as anything you could think of.

huh. with your crew?

[theflashyfool]

Keep telling yourself that. But we're in the same boat, you and I. He moved on a long time ago.

Why, if I'm alone are you gonna come join me?

[bigsmile]

since what happened, i think we're on VERY different boats. but i know one day i'll see him again. don't you believe that?

actually no, i was just wondering where they were.

[theflashyfool]

I think I've known him for much longer than you have, and I know what he's like better than you do. But yeah, you might.

It's absolutely none of your business. Where's your crew?

[bigsmile]

have you really? he never mentioned you. how do i know you're not just saying that?

they're around, i just decided to grab the nearest bed as they looked into something.

[theflashyfool]

Of course he wouldn't mention me. The bastard. Why would I just lie about that?

What are you looking into?

[bigsmile]

i don't know but you do have a habit of bending the truth. want me to pass a message on when i see him?

nothing important.

[theflashyfool]

You think you'll reunite and what... hug it out? He'll tell you how proud of you he is?

Don't bet on it.

He betrayed me in the worst ways and he'll do it to you too. I've got no reason to lie about that.

[bigsmile]

yes that would happen, why wouldn't it?

that doesn't sound like the shanks i know. you don't have reason to lie about a lot of things but you still did.

[theflashyfool]

Because that's not Shanks. For once, I'm telling the truth, kid. You should save yourself the heartache.

We were almost like brothers once. I thought we were, at least. No reason to lie about it.

[bigsmile]

i'm sorry, i just can't believe what you are saying. not the shanks i know.

your bed is free.

[theflashyfool]

Well, don't say I didn't warn you, kid.

You better have left everything like it was.

[bigsmile]

i've heard your warning, it's just not the shanks i know. he would never.

i did, apart from some sand.

You're young. You'll learn your heroes aren't always who they seem.
