If one would have opened a dictionary and looked for the definition of the word "Drama" then this person would have seen Nemo's name right beside it! At least for the time being, this would have been the case...

The disaster started three days ago, as the sun vanished and thick clouds covered the sky, making the temperatures drop hourly. As it then started to snow, the theathrallic "dying" began and despite everyone in the Crew knowing that to Nemo this was a nightmare indeed, they also couldn't help but chuckle about the overly dramatic display she had been performing. 

"Can we go elsewhere? I dun like it. It's cold. Let's go somewhere warm?! ... Please? Pretty please? I don't want to turn into an ice brick...!". No one had ever heard the cheeky Space Pirate being this soft spoken and plaintiff. And yes, it did feel like a Nemo originating from a parallel-universe. A Nemo who suddenly had manners, being knocked down a peg or two and being void of her usual savage commentary.

The weather was beyond miserable and it got shittier the closer they came to a small, wintry Island in the midst of Whitebeard's turf.

Frostreach was known for many things. One could buy rare metals, find some of the best doctors and medicines this world had to offer, buy some of the best medical machines and tools... and of course... it was famous for a whole lot of snow!

Naturally Nemo spent these days as close to Ace as she possibly could, and despite two tiny drones with the sole purpose of regenerating extra warmth hovering around her at all times as well, it simply didn't cut it for her, as all heat created by her tech, simply dissipated in weather conditions like this. Despite wearing the thickest, biggest and fluffiest of all winter coats, plus three layers of thick pants and shirts, and all the extra warmth donated by Ace, the Space Pirate didn't like this here at all! "Can we go now? I mean... Lunarian-Log says to visit every island in the Blue World - we visited, yes? So, we can go, right?".

"We didn't even anchor yet... so, no. We can't leave just yet. Besides, Marco needs to stock up on medicine. Come on, Cheeks! It ain't too bad?" Smirking, Ace laid a flaming arm around the dramatic chill-bain of a girl, sticking to him like a shivering barnacle or a small parasyte. "I told you how this works. We have to stay here for a few days until the Log Pose -".

"I'm going to freeze to death, am I not?".

"What? No. Nemo... I'm not gonna let you -".

"I'm going to die as the most stylish ice sculpture in this galaxy! Please help me... This ain't cool, Firecracker...".

"Nemo? You're not going to turn into a brick of ice and I'm not letting you freeze either!!! And we'll be here for just a few days. I'll keep you warm. You'll be fine!" Ace tried to empathise, but he couldn't help but find that display a little funny as well. The Moongirl always acted like she was the coolest thing ever, since the invention of toolbars... of course! Well, it's what she always said! But here? She began to remind him of Luffy during his childhood days. A big crybaby!
