"Alright, looks like we have our work cut out for us girls!" Hancock says, folding her arms. They had dragged you into a costumes closet in Class B building. You stared up at the other women warily as Vivi and Nami get the same alarming look on their faces.

"I brought the hot wax!" A girl you never met before chimes.

"What!?" You gasp, starting to back pedal.

"Then lets get started," Nami giggles as they close in on you.

"W-wait! What are you- KYAAAAAHHH!"

Like a tornado they were finished, leaving you in mild pain, dazed and confused. You stagger and glance down at the heels they had put on you, then the (style/color) dress. You frown and look over to see a stunningly beautiful woman staring back, frowning as well. "The hell are you looking at?" You huff ill temperedly.

"Herself... That's a mirror ___." Nami chuckles. You blink, slowly taking yourself in.

"Are you.... Are you sure?" You ask carefully, making the other women giggle.

"Of course, now, lets go show you off! The dance will start soon," Hancock informs you. You frown at her.

"I'm not going," You huff stubbornly.

"Yes, you are!" She says, before pushing you out. You stumble right into someone's chest, they catch you swiftly, helping you correct yourself.

"Thank--" You look up and break off, meeting the surprised golden orbs of Mihawk. Neither of you moved, you felt yourself blush under his gaze. He sure looked handsome in this view.

"I ship it!" Nami and Vivi gasp. You blink and swiftly pull away.

"Th-thank you Mr. Dracule," You murmur, looking down shyly. He blinks, eyes glinting down you briefly.

"Mihawk... And you look absolutely stunning, ___," He breathes, taking your hand and kissing the back of it. You blush even more at that.

"Hawkeyes! You dog, who's the pretty lady?" Shanks chimes coming up.

"She's the one I'm going to be escorting to the dance," Mihawk replies smoothly, surprising you.

"Escorting huh? So she's that type of woman," Shanks comments. Your eye twitches and you give him the sharpest glare you can muster.

"Excuse me?" You growl. Making him blink, looking at you in brief confusion before becoming totally shocked.

"_-___!?" He gasps.

"Ignore Red Hair my dear, he's an idiot," Mihawk murmurs, offering his arm. You take it without thinking and you both leave Shanks stunned.

"And zero points again Mr.Shanks..." Nami comments.

"Huh?" Shanks huffs.

"That's the possible chances with ___," Vivi informs him as they stroll pass.

"Are you okay ___? You look unwell," Mihawk asks softly.

"I'm just nervous," You reply with a frown. "And I really don't want to go..."

"I see... Well, it'd be a shame if you don't go after all the trouble they went through," He breathes, touching your hand. You let out a sigh.

"Guess it's a little too late then..." You sigh, silently thankful that you were on the ground floor since you were no good with heels. Mihawk brushes a knuckle over your cheek, making you tense and blush.

"You should enjoy the calm, let tonight be about you," He whispers as you look over into his golden eyes.

"Oh... Okay," You murmur before finally offering a smile. He smiles back gently.

"You are even more stunning when you smile," He breathes. You blush and look down at that. "If those juniors can't handle it, I'd be more than happy to be your dance partner," He rumbles.

"I'll keep that in mind," You murmur shyly. As you reach the gym door, you hesitate, holding onto his arm tighter.

"Calm down, this isn't a fight, its a party," He tells you soothingly. You relax a bit and he kisses your temple swiftly. "Come now," He adds softly. You nod and let him lead you into the gym, dark with colorful light beams dance over the students below. You press into Mihawk's side, hiding behind his arm as you catch sight of Law in a tux, he was chatting with the other guys.

'Wow... They all look so good,' You think, wanting to book it. You release Mihawk's arm and turn to leave but Shanks bursts in.

"You look so beautiful!!" He cries cheerfully, drawing everyone's gaze. You tense, feeling all eyes on you.

"D-Dammit Shanks," I hiss.

"Hm? What's wrong ___? You weren't about to leave were ya?" He asks, raising an eyebrow.

"___?" Law's voice sounds and you gulp, hesitantly turning to him and the other guys.

"Heh... H-hi guys...." You greet awkwardly with a shy smile. There was no response, which made you a blushing mess. "Th-think I'll l-leave now," You manage, turning to leave but a hand catches your wrist. You look back to meet sapphire blue orbs.

"Please, don't go so soon," Sabo murmurs. He offers a soft smile and you instantly relax. He brings the back of your hand to his lips. "May I have a dance before you disappear?" He asks warmly. You were taken aback that he had made a move since he was usually shy.

"S-Sure," You manage shyly. His smile grows and he gingerly pulls you toward the dance floor. Your heart was going wild as he stops and carefully brings your hands to his shoulders. You focus on his chest, blushing with nervousness.

"It's okay ___," He whispers, putting a hand on your waist as the other one touches your hand assuringly. You meet his eyes again as he starts to move with you slowly, swaying from side to side. "There's no need to be nervous... You look beautiful," He adds softly. You drop your gaze with a blush.

"Th-thanks, " You murmur. He chuckles, enjoying your shy demeanor. He pulls you closer, into his chest, making you tense again. You glance up at him to see him smiling softly. You relax, arms wrapping around his neck as you start to sway with him.

"There you go... I swear you more comfortable sparring with me," He comments. You peer at the finally fading bruise on his neck.

"Does it still hurt?" You ask.

"Not really." He admits. You lean over and press a kiss to the bruise. He tenses now, letting out a chuckle. "_-__," He murmurs, rubbing his neck.

"What? I was saying sorry," You say, tilting your head slightly. He had a slight blush on his cheeks.

"I already forgave you though... And that just made me want to do this." He rumbles before capturing your lips. You froze in surprise, breath catching. The lights went out, bit you didn't notice as you kissed back. You pull away with a slight blush but someone pulls you away from Sabo. It was pitch black so you couldn't see who. Your feet leave the floor and you give a squeak.

"Sabo!" You gasp trying to reach for him.

"___!" He calls, sounding kinda far. You feel the night air on your neck followed by a hand.

"Sleep for a bit," A male voice rumbles before everything goes black.

~Sabo P.O.V~

The lights come back on and you were gone. "___!?" He asks in surprise.

"Welcome students! Did you honestly think this was going to be a normal dance? Fufufu!" Doflamingo's voice makes everyone look toward the stage as the blond lifts his arm with a grin. "We're going to play find the princess! The reward is two months taken off your time here! The princess is the lovely ___/Slipper Girl!" His grin turns sinister. "But hurry, her life expires in one week!" He chimes. The room grows cold at that and Law moves but Kid's hand on his chest stops him. They share a look. Sabo looks from them to Doflamingo, starting shake slightly, flames dancing up his back and arms making the people around him back up.

"Sabo," Ace says sternly, making his brother look at him, they shared the same expression.

"Right, lets go find our princess," Sabo says loudly, calming down.

"Good luck, she can be anywhere in these mountains," Doflamingo informs everyone.
