A/N: Thank you for all of those who reviewed/faved/ alerted this story. Disclaimer: I don't own One Piece or any of its characters. However, I do own Alex (yea me lol). I have no clue if there is a technical term for any of the weapons used by Alex or any of the One Piece characters. If there is, please let me know so that I can use them correctly. I don't own the song, Memories- the first ending song that was used- and I have no clue off the top of my head. I'm too lazy to look it up and I'm typing this during a lecture.

Chapter Four: Alex Sings and a Kiss Given

Johnny looked up at Luffy in surprise.

"How do you know Alex?" Johnny demanded as Luffy sat down across from him. Suddenly Johnny was holding his head in pain as Alex, wearing one of Zoro's shirts as a dress, held her hand in a fist above where his head used to be.

"He's my brother, jackass." Alex growled as Zoro pulled her away from Johnny and sat down, pulling Alex onto his lap.

"Thanks Zoro." Luffy nodded to the two sword wielders before turning back to Johnny. "Going to answer me now?"

"She's my girl," Johnny said, as Zoro was suddenly struggling to keep a hold of Alex.

"I'm not your girl damn it!" Alex shouted as Zoro flipped them so that she was pinned underneath him. Alex suddenly stopped fighting Zoro as he looked at her.

"You done fighting?" Zoro questioned as he panted, tired from the struggle. Alex nodded her head as Zoro smirked before rolling off of Alex. Alex sat up and moved so that she was sitting back on Zoro's lap again.

"Want to explain?" Nami asked as she looked at Johnny as well as everyone else, minus Zoro and Alex.

"Well, I guess," Johnny replied before he and Yosaku both started telling their story. Once finished, Alex was ready to punch Johnny again. Zoro was "struggling" to hold her back as Luffy looked over at them and sighed.

"Zoro, drop the anchor and then throw Alex into the water. Make her calm down." Luffy stood up as Alex turned her glare and wrath on to her twin brother.

"Asshole!" Alex shouted at Luffy as Zoro did as he was told. Zoro gave Alex a look of sorrow before he jumped into the ocean with Alex in his arms.

"Zoro, I said calm her down, not go swimming with her!" Luffy shouted as he laughed, watching his sister and first mate as they surfaced. Zoro and Alex laughed before splashing water up at Luffy.

"You're just jealous that you can't swim anymore!" Alex called up as Usopp watched them from the deck. Nami smiled wickedly before shoving Usopp overboard as well.

"NAMI!" Usopp yelled at her as she laughed with Zoro, Luffy, and Alex. Luffy smirked as he wrapped his arm around Nami's waist.

"Nice one, Nami!" Luffy laughed as Nami smiled in agreement, before letting the rope ladder down so that they could climb up when ready. Soon the group in the water joined Luffy and Nami back on the deck, Alex being carried on Zoro's back. Once everyone was dry and fed, Alex brought out a guitar that she found below.

"Do you know how to play?" Zoro asked as he sat down behind her.

"Yeah, Shanks taught me one day." Alex nodded before she started to strum the strings. Alex started playing a melody that was familiar to some, but not everyone on board. "As a kid, I never stopped,

Searching for a great treasure.

I had a map, in my mind

That I knew would lead me." Alex sang as everyone listened to the sweet sounds of her voice and guitar mixing in the night air. "I had to find, my way to that place,

Before someone could beat me.

The promised land was in my grasp,

And I wouldn't let go." Zoro wrapped his arms lightly around Alex's waist as she sang, feeling his heart beat rapidly as Alex continued to sing. "Lalalala

My only dream!

Lalalala

I won't stop chasing it until it comes true.

But if the world ever changes

I'll call out your name

We could return to the time

When everything's the same,"Alex looked back at Zoro as she sang, silently telling him that she enjoyed his arms around her. "As long as I'm with you,

My memories won't fade

Waiting for that one true dream." Alex finished her song and everyone clapped her before the anchor was raised so that the Going Merry could set sail towards the Baratie. Soon everyone was asleep in their quarters, dreaming of what their lives held. Zoro woke up to the soft sounds of a guitar playing.

Why is she still up? Zoro asked himself as he went up on deck, seeing Alex leaning against the mast. "Hey, Mermaid, why are you still up?" Zoro asked, calling her a nickname that fit her-not for her devil fruit abilities, but for her beauty that held him captive.

"Couldn't sleep. Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you up." Alex set her guitar down and stood up as Zoro came over to her.

"You didn't. Why couldn't you sleep?" Zoro wrapped his arms around Alex's waist.

"I don't know…" Alex trailed off as she looked at Zoro, getting lost in his eyes. Zoro slowly leaned his head down and captured her lips with his. Alex wrapped her arms around Zoro's neck, gasping slightly when he ran his tongue along her bottom lip. Zoro stuck his tongue in Alex's mouth as she moaned in pleasure. Zoro rubbed his hands up and down her back, causing Alex to moan even more in pleasure. Breaking apart, Zoro and Alex gasped for breath as they looked at each other.

"Wow." Alex smiled as Zoro pressed a kiss to her temple.

"You said it. Let's get some sleep." Zoro unwrapped his arms from Alex's waist, both yearning for each other's touch again.

"And pray that Luffy doesn't find out for a while." Alex smiled as Zoro led the way back down below. Zoro pressed one more kiss to Alex's temple before moving away. "Good night, Zoro."

"Night, Mermaid." Zoro smiled before disappearing back into the men's quarters.
