"And uh, who's this fool who can't get Oracle's name right?" Buggy frowned, standing up, "I hate it when people can't get a name right."

"Yay! Buggy's going to fight!" Aussie cheered, "kick his ass, Buggy!"

"Language, Aussie!" His mother chided him, "and shush....nobody's fighting."

"Oden. That's my name. I'm Jinx brother. And I'm Sarah's boyfriend."

"I swear to God, Papa, he is not. He always does this." Sarah frowned.

"Awe come on, baby, don't be mean like that." Oden grabbed her chin smirking at her.

Buggy then snatched his hand, gripping his wrist, "if you want to keep this hand, you better not touch her again you piece of shit! And you're not her boyfriend.....I am!"

"See.....Buggy's going to fight," Aussie whispered, excited.

Sarah ran and hid behind Gold shaking.

"I didn't know you're into clowns now, babe. You should've told me, I can be one for you. Hey look at me I'm bozo the clown!" Oden mocked.

"Actually he's Buggy," Eisenhower said.

"Hey I'm Buggy the clown!"

"WRONG!!" Buggy yelled and grabbed his face roughly in his hand, "I'm Buggy. You're definitely a Bozo! And if you don't stop smart-mouthing me, you'll be leaving....pick a spot, where you'd like to land!"

Suddenly Nadia started crying because she heard him yell.

Buggy growled and shoved him backwards so he stumbled into the door.

"I'm here, buttercup," he went and picked Nadia up and soothed her by rocking her gently in his arms.

Sarah sighed and hugged her dad shaking.

Gold hugged her back, "what are you afraid of, Sarah? Buggy isn't going to like that young man's arrogance, as neither do I."

"I swear I never was with him, but he claims we are together..."

"He's obviously mentally ill then. I can speak to him....," he went towards Oden then stopped, ".....and... I know Buggy's temper might scare you, but he reminds me of myself... and it was Belle who used to calm me. I think you could be that for him," he then gently squeezed her shoulder and left her to go and speak to Oden.

"Oh is the old man my girls' grandpa?" Oden laughed.

"Her father. Are you my headache? Because it certainly seems you are. And that pirate clown over there....he's your worst nightmare, if you don't stop with the delusions."

"Oh really? I couldn't tell you would be her dad, you're pretty old to be one. And the clown, pfft, she will show him that she is using him."

"And you're pretty old to still be so immature," Gold replied with a smirk, "as for Sarah, she's in love with him. I wasn't happy at first, but I'd rather she loves him than ever date a jerk like you."

The rest of the room was now silent, apart from Nadia's gurgling and the two boys quietly talking as they read through the pirate book.

"Tough old man. What are you gonna do to me if I try to get her?"

"We'll cast you out, so you have to take your chances with the infected. Which is kinder than setting Buggy on you, trust me."

"Pfft, I can handle them."

"Sure you did, from what I saw, you didn't know how to use that bat for a weapon." Oracle added.

Buggy then snorted loudly and laughed.

Gold tried not to laugh too, "Look I recognize your type, Sonny. You're all talk and no action. So drop the attitude, and we can all get along. There's no need for all this hostility."

"If you can't play nice, you'll go in timeout with the kids," Cheryl said, "you have to fit into our family, not try and rip it apart."

"Yes," Harry spoke up, "we don't want troublemakers."

"...fine mom," he growled.

"Hey!" Harry snapped, "don't you be rude to my mom! You need to learn some manners!"

"I think we should vote on it," Eisenhower said, "who votes he leaves?"

Buggy, Gold, Cheryl, Harry, Aussie and Luffy all raised their hands.

"Don't raise yours...," Oden snapped at Sarah.

Sarah slowly dropped her hand. It was because she was afraid of him.

"Look I will behave. I promise."

Buggy noticed Sarah didn't raise her hand and that hurt him, "it doesn't matter, the majority of us want you gone. Don't let the door hot your ass on the way out!!"

"Yes, I'm inclined not to believe you," Gold folded his arms, "I sense a liar when I come face to face with one."

"But he's Jinx's brother," Sarah said softly.

Buggy then stood up with Nadia and walked out of the room.

Gold signed, "that may be, and I know she's your friend....but I think we're making a mistake letting him stay."

Cheryl nodded, "I agree."

"You can stay on a trial basis." Eisenhower said, "if you cause any problems or trouble within the next day or two....you'll have to leave."

"I agree to that," Oracle said.

Everyone grumbled begrudgingly.

"I'll be in the other room with Buggy," Luffy said as he left the room.

It was not like Luffy to be unfriendly towards anyone, but he got really bad vibes from Oden and he didn't like how he spoke to everyone.

Sarah felt he was mad with her. She was just afraid of Oden. Gold went over to help Eisenhower with making Jinx comfortable. while Cheryl sat now reading to her boys. Buggy and Luffy were in the other room. Oracle came to Sarah so she wouldn't be alone with Oden if he came to her.

"Just keep an eye on Oden. I will be fine, Oracle." She knew he knew that she was lying, but she really wanted to be left alone probably to think, but mostly cry about how she upset Buggy. She was walking by the room that Buggy, Luffy and Nadia were in. The door was only opened a cracked and listened.

"I don't like him," Luffy said, "and I like everybody."

"Well, there's a first time for everything kid."

"Why do you think Sarah didn't vote for him to leave? Is she afraid of him?"

Buggy shrugged, "how do I know? She never tells me how she feels. She always says she's okay when she isn't....," he sighed, "....I don't know if that's just the way she is or..... if she's just that way with me."

Luffy sat forwards, "it really troubles you I can see."

"Well duh. She's supposed to love me, but....if she loved me shouldn't she open up to me? I don't know what to do. And I'm afraid she'll just go running off again if she's upset. Like last time."

Luffy nodded, "if she doesn't open up you can't really talk to her about it. Or about Oden."

"I know. If she is afraid of him it makes no sense. I would protect her I'm right here, but it's like she just forgets I exist. I've fought zombies, I could easily take care of that prick," he shook his head, "no. It makes no sense."

"...," she looked down hearing this. He seemed so mad and it scared her. She then walked passed the door which they heard. She went into the pool room and took off her boots and socks. "Why I am so stupid? I love him, but I'm so stupid to speak up? Why am I so afraid?"

Oden then came into the room, "oh great idea. We can have a romantic reunion in the pool," he smirked at her.

Sarah looked up and panicked. "Stay away! If you come near me I will slit your throat!"

"Sheesh," Oden then walked away.

Sarah sighed and tried to calm down.

Later that night...

Sarah was trying to sleep, but she couldn't. She got up and walked to the kitchen to get something to drink, but jumped seeing Oden again smirking at her.

"Hey, baby."

Sarah frowned. "Stay away from me! You just ruined Buggy!"

"I can be so much better than him."

Sarah was getting irritated with him that she stormed out the door grabbing a gun.

"Oh come on, babe!" He chased after her.

Jinx noticed this and chased after her brother and best friend.

While that happened, Nadia started to cry and Buggy groaned hearing her cries.

"Sarah, let's go back," Jinx told her, "just leave her alone, Oden!"

"Hey, I am just concerned for her as much as you!" Oden yelled.

Sarah went into an abandoned mall pushing a spinning door. She decided to look for any valuable to get away from Oden.

"Sarah, come on," Jinx said, "it's not safe. And when should the dang military arrive!?"

Sarah sighed. She got up, but she accidentally let the gun go off.

"Shit...," Jinx and Oden gasped.

They looked behind Sarah and Sarah looked and they saw a horde chasing them. The three of them ran into the spinning door, but they were now stuck inside because the horde held the door trying to get in.

"NOW LOOK WHAT YOU DID, YOU WH*RE!" Oden yelled at Sarah.

Sarah dropped her head down crying. She did it again. She ran away from her problems. Why didn't she just run to Buggy?

"Stop it, Oden! It's not her fault. It's yours! You need to leave her alone! FUCKING ALONE! Now we're gonna die in here because of YOU!" Jinx yelled at her brother as she held the door to make sure the corpses don't walk or pull on the doors.

There was now a horde of them outside. Sarah immediately grabbed the door and held it tight so they couldn't get in as well.

"We won't die!" Jinx said, "I know we won't. Your dad and those friends of yours will save us...right?" She asked Sarah.

Sarah teared up looking at her. She hoped and prayed they would come. Suddenly she heard a beeping noise outside. The horde outside then walked towards it. It was Oracle. He was luring them away from the door and away from her, Jinx, and Oden.

"Well that's step one done. Now what?" Oden asked.

Sarah didn't know what do suddenly Luffy came up to the door, "Buggy! Gold! They're over here!" He then turned to Sarah, "you guys ok?"

"Yeah," Jinx nodded.

Luffy blushed seeing Jinx. "You sure?"

"Yes, but we need a little help." Jinx said.

Buggy and Gold finally came. Buggy was of course angry again.

"Buggy, please don't be mad!" Sarah cried, "I didn't plan this ok? Please don't be mad at me!" Tears streamed down her face.

"I'm not mad at you....I'm mad at HIM!!" Buggy glared at Oden, "and honestly Sarah, I just wish you'd come to me instead of running away. It hurts. But....hopefully it's something we can work on. If you still want to be with me?"

"Buggy, let's just get them out of there, then you can both have your little heart to heart," Gold said.

"Oh, yeah right. Of course."

"I got an idea," Jinx said. "We are gonna push, just enough for Sarah to squeeze through. Ok?"

Her and Oden pushed a little and Oden tried to stay close away from the corpses. Once the door opened a crack, Sarah tried to squeeze through.

Buggy carefully helped her squeeze out, while Gold and Luffy pulled on the door.

"Are you okay, baby?" Buggy pulled her into a hug once she was out, "I was so worried. I love you so much—"

"Can you wait until we get the others out for all of that," Gold said.

"Oh, yeah, of course."

Buggy then helped get Jinx through the door next. Before he did, Jinx screamed and held onto Oden.

Oden was pulled out of the door by the corpses. "ODEN!?"

Oden jumped, but the corpses tare through his flesh devouring him. Sarah immediately buried her face in Buggy's chest shaking and crying.

Buggy wrapped his arms around Sarah tightly and tried to comfort her, ".....don't look baby, don't listen just...hum to yourself or something....you know that lullaby I always sing to Nadia? Just...," Buggy began to hum it to try and soothe Sarah, "Luffy, get the girl out....there's still time, he's gone though, she has to leave him..."

Luffy nodded and went to Jinx, "I'm sorry, but we have to get you out of there."

Jinx was crying and shaking. Luffy was careful as he pulled her out. He then blushed looking at her as if he had feelings for her. He never had this type of feeling.

Oracle came back and they head back to the bunker. Sarah was taken to the pool room with Buggy. He then came back with Nadia and held Sarah's face.

"I'm sorry," Sarah cried softly.

"It's alright," he gently brushed her tears away, "please don't cry, sweetheart, I hate to see you cry," he gently kissed her forehead.

She looked up at him. "I know, I just should've went to you. I heard you and Luffy earlier and you sounded mad...I was...I was scared..."

"Oh baby, I'm sorry. I wasn't mad at you....just frustrated, and it makes me sad when you don't come to me. I worry I'm not good enough for you. Maybe if I were a better person....then you'd feel able to come to me."

"I love you just the way you are, you're perfect, Buggy." She kissed his nose.

"Really? But what about when I get mad? I scare you...," he said sadly, "I don't ever want you to be afraid of me."

"...I was just overthinking. I will be ok." She caressed his cheek.

Nadia cooed looking up at them. "Mama...dada..."

Buggy froze, "did.....you just hear that?"

Sarah looked down at her and smiled.

"Mama...," Nadia cooed at her.

"Yes...," Sarah smiled.

Buggy blushed, ".....wait, you're okay with that?"

"Of course...I mean, we are together...aren't we?"

"Yes of course, it's just.... a lot of responsibility, having a baby....as long as you're sure," he smiled and kissed her cheek.

"Well, she does need a mother." Sarah took his face and kissed him.

Nadia clapped happily and cooed happily at them.

"So when all this is over does that mean you'll marry me?" he chuckled softly in between kissing her.

"...what?" Sarah blushed, "y-you mean that?"

"Well I was kinda kidding because I didn't think you'd actually want to marry a clown... but....are you saying you would?"

"...yes." She held his face in her hands and kissed him again smiling in the kiss.

Buggy smiled too as he kissed her back, holding her head gently as she held his face, "I love you, so much."

"I love you even more and the most, Buggy."

He then chuckled, "I'll love you forever and ever, Sarah....hm, Sarah D. Clown...I like how that sounds."

Sarah giggled and kissed his nose.

Once Nadia was put to sleep, Buggy and Sarah were alone now, but in the storage room, incase anyone walked in on them. Buggy shut the door and kissed her pushing her against the wall.

"If anyone interrupts us and it's not a life or death situation I'm going to make them walk the plank," he joked, as he then kissed down her neck.

Sarah moaned and had her hands on his arms. She felt so nervous. "Not all the way, ok?"

Buggy stopped and looked up at her, "Sarah, I'm a virgin too. I wouldn't do anything you're not comfortable with. Okay, baby?" he kissed her gently.

She nodded and kissed him back with her arms around his neck. He pulled away and kissed down to her belly. He pulled her shirt up and kissed around her flat belly. Sarah moaned softly and tightened her fists.

He then hooked his thumbs into her leggings and looked up at her, "can I?..."

She nodded blushing...
