A/N: I would view these as deleted scenes. They are here for your enjoyment. I may or may not add to this over time. It depends… but they'll all probably be around this length if I do ever add to it.

Bloopers

Soap

Zoro froze as Nami stirred. He cringed slightly and realized that if she woke up she would see him posed in this ridiculous outfit standing over her. No doubt she would scream… and then everyone else would see what a push over he was just for her… and the small doctor. This was Chopper's idea after all and he wasn't exactly sure how the reindeer had managed to talk him into this. Sure they were sneaking around but ninja suits? Surely the small doctor knew how to play to Zoro's weakness for him.

Chopper loudly dropped the bucket of soap he had been holding.

"SHHHHHHH!" Chopper squeaked as if Zoro had made the noise.

"Shut up you moron!" Zoro hissed as Nami stirred again. She simply rolled over though, blissfully aware of the presence of her two devious friends.

"Don't talk to me that way Zoro. I don't have to help you proclaim your love-"

Zoro clamped his hand firmly over the small reindeer's mouth and glared at him. Sometimes his small friend could take things a little bit too far.

"I never said the word love," he hissed gruffly before dropping him and not caring about the dull thump he produced. Nami slept just as deeply now as she did after her post sex sleep. He should be thankful that he had convinced Sanji to give her a few extra glasses of wine. Although normally he would never put faith in alcohol to subdue her he could safely say that he was sure she wasn't suspicious of it tonight. She trusted all of her friends so she had no reason to not drink without abandon. Still as she flipped restlessly in her bed he couldn't help but be on edge. If she woke up things would not go over very well.

"Just hurry up," he grumbled. Chopper jumped back onto his shoulders with a bar of soap in his hands and dutifully began drawing on her mirror. Little hearts with witches flying on tiny brooms filled the mirror. He had a sinking feeling this wasn't going to work out as well as he planned…

Changes

"It's been a while," he mumbled his eyes peacefully closed. He didn't seem to want to look at her and she felt somewhat offended. This much time apart and he didn't want to look at her? Didn't he want to see how much she had changed?

"How is it that I beat the navigator here?" he asked a smirk lighting up on his lips as he opened his unscarred eye to look at her appreciatively.

"I'm here, right on time," she growled crossing her arms in front of her.

She would have missed it had she not been searching his face. She was memorized by the changes, the muscles, and the scar. A small blush stole over his face. She smirked as she noticed where his eye traveled. It had been a while but Zoro still wasn't discrete when it came to his attraction to her.

Leaning forward she cupped his check, rubbing the scar tenderly with her thumb. A frown stole over her lips.

"If Chopper had been there…"

"He wasn't though," he snapped pulling out of her grip. "I don't mind it."

She turned away, typical of Zoro to ruin a moment between them. Not like she hadn't ruined plenty herself, but that was beside the matter. She was just about to turn and leave but something froze her in her place. It was silent, almost lighter than the wind, but her body had gone through enough training to catch even the slightest differences in the air. She heard the breath leave him as he said something lowly.

"I just wish I still had it to see you better," he mumbled under his breath.

She felt a blush steal over her face. She knew she was attractive and that Zoro appreciated her body but it still made her feel weird to hear him say something like that. Since when was Zoro ever ashamed of a scar? He wasn't and she knew it. He wasn't at all bitter about it. He knew how she felt about his scars. She just didn't like the thought of him being hurt. That was the only cause of her displeasure of seeing his permanently shut eye.

"Scars are sexy," she said just as lowly as he did and turned ever so slightly to see his face light up a bright red. She winked over her shoulder as she strode away.

"I'll go wait in a bar for Luffy," she said absently when she realized he might want to know why she was leaving. She wanted to wait for her captain, and sitting here with Zoro would never be the same as actually trying to do something for herself.

Some changes were not so bad. Maybe this time around they'd actually get together.


A/N: I know it's kind of unusual but I included two chapters in one. I mean you can't really call them chapters… more like mini rants on the verge of being a chapter. They were both so short and I am not sure if I'm going to add any more to this so I decided to give you guys both. The title will remain Bloopers since the first piece is technically from Darkest Kiss, it just didn't make the cut to the story. I was fond of it though so now here it is. The second one was something I randomly wrote forever ago with the straw hat reunion… it's over used in my opinion but it's here anyways… Okay I'll shut up now :p.
