Third Person POV:

  "Dinner's ready!" Murdock's voice echoed all the way from the kitchen to the many rooms of the Brave Olivine.

  Everyone got to their feet instantly at the sound of the announcement and then gathered the around the roundtable in dining room to take their seats. Liko looked around and noticed that Dot wasn't there and began to worry that she somehow hadn't heard her uncle and would miss out on eating what she knew would be a great meal.

  "Roy, could you save me a seat while I go and get Dot?" The black haired girl asked.

  "Sure!" The pink haired boy nodded.

  "Thanks Roy!" Liko expressed her gratitude before exiting the room and heading down the corridors of the airship.

  She wandered all the way down to the end of the hall and then gently knocked on the door of her girlfriend's room.

  "Hey Dot!" Liko called.

  In an instant, the door flung open to reveal the purple haired girl standing behind it. Liko is the only person Dot opens her door so willingly for.

  "It's time for dinner! Would you like to come and eat with us?" The black haired girl asked.

  "I'm not sure..." The purple haired girl muttered in response.

  "I don't mind coming to eat with you in your bedroom if you feel more comfortable with that," Liko suggested an alternative, "I just thought you might like some company as I would feel guilty leaving you to eat on your own..."

  "No, it's fine," Dot shook her head, "I'll try and eat with everyone else..."
 
  "That's great!" The black haired girl smiled, "Let's go then!"

  She reached out her hand and her girlfriend took it. The two girls then walked down the corridor and all the way to the dining room together.

  When they arrived in the room, Dot was immediately overwhelmed to find the table was busy and there was lots of noise. She used one hand to cover her ear while still continuing to hold her girlfriend's hand with the other as the two went to sit down.

  She looked around the table but it was all too much. Murdock and Roy were singing, Mollie and Orla were arguing with Friede, Ludlow was talking to himself-

  She then let her head hang low and began to sink into her seat as she stared down at her empty plate, now put off from eating and she began to disassociate from the situation.

  Liko noticed this and was concerned for her.

  "Could everyone please be quiet?" The black haired girl tried to speak up, but no one could hear her.

  She then sighed before turning to look over at her girlfriend.

  "Would you like me to go and get your headphones?" She suggested.

  "Could I come with you?" Dot asked.

  Liko nodded and the two then got up to leave the room. The purple haired girl took deep breaths once she was out of there as she walked alongside the black haired girl.

  Dot went into her room to get her headphones and once she was ready, she came back out again.

  "Are you sure you want to go back in there?" The black haired girl questioned, "I understand if you don't want to, even I was struggling in there..."

  "No," The purple haired girl shook her head, "I really want to try and do this."

  "Okay then," Liko nodded and then took hold of her girlfriend's hand again as they went back down the hall.

  Dot stopped at the entrance of the room to out on her headphones and with a nod, the two then stepped back into the dining room. They took their seats again and thus time tried to get some food on their plate.

  The purple haired girl did feel a little better but it still wasn't enough to put her fully at ease. She only ate a little and ate it very quickly so once she was finished, she left without saying anything.

  Liko understood and was happy for her girlfriend that she was able to just leave the situation but she was still frustrated with the crew for not taking any notice. Once Dot was out of the room, she decided she wanted to do something about it.

  "Excuse me!" The black haired girl raised her voice and banged her hands on the table as she stood up.

  Everyone immediately stopped talking and turned their attention to her.

  "I'm sorry but this had been a really bad dinner!" Liko announced, "Nothing wrong with the food, it's just everyone is being too loud and it's making Dot overwhelmed!"

  "I'm sorry Liko," Friede apologised, "We'll try and be more considerate next time."

  "Thank you..." The black haired girl sighed and then decided to leave the room herself.

  As she turned the corner, she found her girlfriend standing right by the door. She must have heard what she just said...

  "Dot!" Liko squeaked with shock to see her there, "I'm so sorry, I-"

  Before she could apologise, the purple haired girl rushed to give her a hug. And then, once she was done, she put up her hair with her headband and looked into her eyes with a warm smile, revealing tears of joy.

"Thank you for standing up for me, Liko..." Dot expressed her gratitude, "I don't know what I would do without you..."

  Liko was left stunned for a few seconds as she thought she would be mad with her for doing such a thing, but then she couldn't help but smile back.

  "No problem!" She replied, "I'm glad I could help!"...
