Chapter 1: Asking out on date…

Sabo has lived with Ace, Luffy and Ace's family since forever really- Ace's family being his mother Rouge, his father Roger, his sisters Ann, Ali, Amy and Ava and a younger brother called Axe. Who all grew up with Luffy and Sabo as well. Ace's mother Rouge was Luffy's godmother who got Luffy after his mother death and father's disappearance. His grandfather was travelling the world as a Marine so he couldn't look after Luffy. So Luffy went to Rouge, his godmother. Luffy's younger nanny Makino as come as well- she still works at the D Gol House as a tutor for all D. Gol of the boys and girls, though they prefer to use Rouge's name of D. Portgas. Makino also married Shanks, Ace's father Roger's adopted son- their older brother and one of Roger's best guys in his company and they have a son and daughter, twins, who are about a year now called Kane and Avery.

Next door, there was the Edward Family. Newgate who lived next door- has BIG family and is Roger's biggest business and company as well. Roger runs the Gold Company and Newgate runs the Whitebeard company.

The house next door is bigger and for very good reasons. Whitebeard as Newgate Edward prefers to be called, has a lot of adopted kids and one of them, has kids of his own. Marco Edward, he's one of the ones who has his own kids. His oldest being a girl who is the around Sabo's and Ace's age called Macey, twin sons called Asch and Ryder with his first wife Naomi who passed away shortly after Asch and Ryder were born and with his second wife Ada who he married his second wife Ada about seven years now, they had a son Kaeden, another son called Phoenix and twin girls called Kasey and Lacey.

Sabo was taken in then later adopted by Ace's family after his parents tried to kill him by burning down their old house to get the money for insurance and they didn't care that they left Sabo to burn alive in there. Sabo moved his getting a little long blonde hair out his blue/green eyes. He has burns all over his body, mostly on the left-hand side of his body. With a big noticeable burn mark over his left eye which is a paler than his right eye. Which is why he has his hair long, so people don't notice the burn mark over his left eye. Yes, he can still see out his left eye, but barely. He's almost legally blind in his left eye.

"Sabo!" Macey smiled noticing him sitting under the old fort/treehouse that Ace, Sabo and Luffy still like to use for fun, even though they're kind too old for it. But it's fun playing in the treehouse with Axe. Macey's best friend Kurai was with her and they were both in their swimsuits.

Macey wearing a purple bikini top, black board shorts and a white see-through singlet with her long blonde hair tied up to the side and sparkly blue eyes. Sabo had been reading a book under the tree since it was a nice day, and he had work to do with his writing class. Kurai was wearing a dark red and black one-piece with a bikini like top but covered her stomach, dark purple broad shorts with a light purple singlet with her silver-bright purple tinted long-haired tied back in high ponytail and ocean blue eyes.

Macey and Kurai walked over to him and Sabo couldn't really look them, well, mostly Macey but that's not the point.

"He… Hey Macey, Kurai," Sabo said blushing slightly- glad as hell that Ace and Luffy were out and not home right now. Sabo's younger sisters (who are Ace's blood younger sisters) were giggling from the 'party' space where they were meant to be doing school assessments with Axe just rolling his eyes. Can they not say or do anything, please? For the love of god. Don't let his sisters do anything. "What… what are you doing here?"

Macey has been Sabo's crush since he moved in with Ace, Luffy and their family and the WHOLE family knows about his crush on Macey. And they like to tease him about it. So, Sabo was kind of glad that the family wasn't too, too nearby.

Roger wouldn't help but embarrass Sabo by trying to drop hints that Sabo likes Macey which doesn't work, Rouge likes to try and make them go on dates not knowing or releasing it was a date then end up doing a big group thing of taking Ace and Luffy and some friends with him as he is a kind of a little scared of going himself. But don't worry, Macey always ends up bringing people too. Ace and Luffy would be doing a stupid song or something. His sisters would just be giggling and laughing and gossiping and Axe… well, he doesn't care so he will probably just ignore them.

"What you doing?" Kurai asked- mostly just being friendly. She's not the friendliest person around but she has a fair bit of family problems. Like Sabo did, just for different reasons. Kurai is only really nice to certain person, since she's not a people person. So Macey is her best friend who is a big people person for both them. She likes Ace and Sabo and some of their friends too.

"Reading a book," Sabo smiled. "One for my writing class, we have a pick book, do a report then write our version with the book's main elements and stuff."

"That's so cool!" Macey smiled bending down in front of Sabo who was blushing even more as he could see boobs, since they were almost right there in front. "You want to be writer right? Write adventure novels and stuff right? I would love to read your story once you do. Or even any other story you have written. If your cool with it of course. I love books."

Sabo was a little bit speechless for a moment. Did… did he hear that right? Did Macey just ask to read one of his stories? Be it the one for his assessment or a different one? She loved books like he did?

"Su… Sure," Sabo nodded looking at Macey's face and tyring his hardest to not look at her boobs. Since you know, they were kind right there. "That… that would be cool with me."

"That would be great!" Macey smiled as she go back up. "I was going to ask if you, Ace and Luffy wanted to come over and join us. But Ace and Luffy don't seem to be here and you seem to be busy with your assessment. So I won't worry about it."

Kurai nodded her head and smiled lightly. She was still getting use to the ideas of 'friends' really. Macey is her first and her main one.

"Oh right!" Macey smiled. "You know what tomorrow is?"

Sabo gave Macey a funny look. Tomorrow? What was so important about tomorrow that Macey would bring it up? Sabo can't really think about what it is meant to be… today's the February 13th so that marks tomorrow the 14th… so what's so important about it?

"Valentine's Day!" Ava shouted from the 'party' space/room.

"Do your science assessment Ava!" Sabo shouted at her then realised that Ava was right. Shit! It was Valentine's Day! But why did Macey ask or say something about it? "Um… what are you doing for Valentine's Day?"

"Not sure yet," Macey smiled. "Waiting for someone to ask me."

Waiting for someone to ask her…? What…? What was she saying…?

"What about you Kurai?" Macey smiled to her best friend.

"Working," Kurai answered. "I can't get out of it… but that doesn't bother me. I get paid more working Valentine's Day so it doesn't matter."

"How you found a place to live yet?" Sabo asked- knowing that her parents had kicked her out.

"Not yet…" Kurai sighed.

"I already told you Kurai," Macey smiled to her best friend. "You're staying with me till you save up enough money then we'll move together somewhere."

Maybe Sabo should…

"Hey Macey?" Sabo smiled which made her smile right back and he started to blush again.

"Yeah?" Macey asked.

Damn it… why is she is pretty…?

"Um… would you… if you're not doing anything… um…" Sabo said not being able to get his words out. Damn it, why is it so hard to ask Macey out!? Be it on a date or just to hang out! "Would you… um… would you…"

"I would love to do something with you for Valentine's Day!" Macey smiled seeing what Sabo was trying to sound but couldn't get out. "Want to spent the whole day together?"

Sabo nodded his head. "Yes!" he answered right away then kind of blushed. "Um… only if you want to though…"

"Of course, I want!" Macey smiled at Sabo. "I wouldn't have suggested it if I didn't want too. Just call or text me in the morning when you're up. I'll be up early. Okay?"

"Sure!" Sabo nodded and couldn't help but smile and kind of panic at the same time. Oh shit… she has a date with Macey! He's spending the whole day with Macey! His crush! Shit! What is going to do!?

"See you tomorrow or maybe later then!" Macey smiled. "You have my number, right?"

Oh shit… Sabo doesn't… not after Luffy stuffed up his old phone…

"No I won't…" Sabo said pulling his phone from his pocket. "Luffy wrecked my old one so I had to get a new one and a new number. My sin card got completely wrecked."

Macey took it from Sabo and put her number in it.

"Well, now you do!" Macey smiled giving it back. "Just text me and tell me it's you so I have your new number, okay?"

Sabo smiled and held his phone close. "Of course!"

Sabo now can't wait for tomorrow. The whole day with Macey! Macey and Kurai felt waving good-bye going back to new door and Sabo sat there, kind of happy, nervous and scared. He's spending the whole day tomorrow with Macey. He's spending Valentine's Day with Macey! The day of love! The whole day… oh god… what has Sabo gotten himself into? What is Sabo going to do!?

Sabo got up and went right to his room. Oh god! Oh god! Oh god! What is going Sabo going to do!? He needs to make a plan! He needs to make a plan!

Ava couldn't help but smile since she had 'overheard' everything. Oh she so has to text and tell not only their parents but all of Sabo's friends too. Oh, plus Luffy and Ace too! Ava can't wait to tell everyone that Sabo and Macey are maybe dating now but are at least spending the whole of Valentine's Day together!

Ava wonders what Sabo is going to plan… maybe she should ask him and give him ideas if he needs help… or maybe get their mum or dad to do it….

Kurai couldn't help but smirked at Macey. "You did that on purpose. Didn't you?"

Macey just smiled and played innocent. "Do what on purpose?"

Kurai laughed lightly and shook her head. "Bring up Valentine's Day. You wanted to spend it with Sabo so you got him to ask you."

Macey laughed and waved her at her Kurai. "What are you talking about? I did no such thing. Beside, you were there. I asked him, not the other way round."

"Only because he was so nervous," Kurai pointed out. "But he did try. You can give him points for that at least."

"True," Macey smiled and laughed.

"True what?" Ada asked as she gave out with Macey's younger half siblings and a few of Macey's aunts. Ada was pretty, short than Macey herself and her father, with long black hair to mid-back and bangs that go to her ears with brown eyes, tear drop earrings in each ear., black bikini top and black board shorts.

"Nothing Ada," Macey smiled at her.

"What did you to Sabo this time?" Ada asked with a small sigh.

"I did nothing," Macey told her as she took Kaeden from her so she could work with Kasey while Sasha, Uncle Izo's girlfriend had Lacey.

Kira, one of Macey's aunts and Thatch's fiancée had Phoenix. Kira was pretty with long blonde hair, her bangs styled a bit on the wild side, with hazel eyes, slender, curvy and muscular and wearing a brown and green bikini top and camo board shorts.

Macey was turning twenty, a year older than Ace who nineteen and Sabo and Kurai who are turning nineteen. Macey was in their year at school, since her birthday is later/late in the year- so they're roughly the same age. Her younger brothers who twins Asch and Ryder are turning sixteen. Kaeden is seven, Phoenix is five and Kasey and Lacey are two.

"Macey managed to get Sabo to Sabo to spend the whole of tomorrow with her," Kurai told Ada.

"She what?" Kira asked shocked.

"Oh! Can I help picked your outfit then?" Sasha smiled. Her and Izo both run the Fashion Division of the Whitebeard Company. Sasha has long black hair with brown highlights, pale blue eyes with a light pink bikini top and dark brown broad shorts.

"Sabo asked you out on a date?" Ada asked, a little shocked that the sweet shy blonde kid from next door who has been crushing on Macey since forever, was able to ask her out. Ada is an old family friend, which is how her and Marco met. They knew each other long before they dated or got married. In fact, they knew each other when Naomi was still alive.

"We're spending the day together, not dating or going out on a date," Macey corrected her step-mum, who she loves like her real mum. "Difference. And don't tell dad, he'll go crazy."

That Marco would.

"At least we know him so your father, uncles, aunts and grandfather won't go crazy or do anything too insane, I hope," Ada sighed. Knowing this family, things will go insane and get out hand really quickly if they're not careful.

"Well I'm enough to take care of myself," Macey told her step-mother while crossing her arms slightly.

"Mace!" Kaeden said getting nervous with swimming in the deep end of the pool without his big sister having her arms out to get him if he starts to drown.

"Sorry Kae," Macey smiled uncrossing her arms and put her hands out so he grabbed them as he floated and kicked the water lightly. "Sure Aunt Sasha," Macey smiled to her aunt. "you can help me pick something out for tomorrow. I can't wait to see what Sabo has plan!"

"I feel so sorry for that boy," Kira sighed. He has no idea what he is getting himself into crushing on and spending the whole day with Macey. The girl is going to run that poor kid into the run, then again, he does have that Luffy kid as a boy so it might not be that bad…

But still…

God only knows what is going to happen tomorrow.

Ava to everyone she can think of on and in her contact list and texts- Sabo is spending the whole day with Macey tomorrow! I don't know for sure if it's a date or not, but I hope it is! They might finally get together by the end of it!

i wonder what Sabo will plan for his day with Macey! feel free to give ideas for their date/day. i still haven't worked out or planned the whole day yet. just a little so any ideas you guys have i will use or keep to use for another date.

P.S i am instead of doing Edward Newgate like people would and using Newgate as the last name. i'm pretty sure Newgate is actually Whitebeard's first name and Edward is the last name so i am using Newgate as his first and Edward as his last name. if you guys think i should do Newgate as the last name and Edward as the first instead like most people, just let me know and i will change it. it is no problem. anyway, i wrote this between having breaks writing the FFP chapter and the Omake chapter, both of which i should hopefully finish writing soon then sent to get beta read.

anyway, till next chapter everyone. love you all! happy late Valentine's Day for those who have had it already and happy Valentine's Day for those who have it today. love you fans.

Rating might change later on depending on the story goes.
