Sorry that it took so long to upload and that its such a short chapter! I'll upload more when I get it done. I have motivation now so hopefully I'll be posting every Friday or so, starting next week. Though it may turn out to be Wednesday and Friday. But for now, I hope you enjoy the addition.


Following suit, she felt her hair flowing in the wind behind her. She passed the little boy in a flash and made her way to Iceburg. She received a welcoming hug from the purple haired he slowly let go of her and she of him, she turned to face a really happy looking Ninjin.

"What are you smiling about?" she asked, confused.

"I think I have figured out your relationship with him." he replied

"And what is that?" she asked, slightly blushing

"You two are dating!" The shorter declared

"WHAT?! No! We're- we- what?!" the said in unison as both of their faces turned extremely red and they stared at each other in confusion

"Yes you are! You two totally are! I can see it in the way you were hugging him!" the little boy replied as he grinned from ear to ear, pleased with the reaction.

They looked at each other and quickly stepped a few feet away from each other. The air became heavy with the awkwardness that the smaller male had suddenly created.

"So..." Iceburg slowly started," Who's the kid?"

" , this is Ninjin. Ninjin, Iceburg. " she said as introduced them to each other.

"Nice to meet ya!" Ninjin greeted, still smiling.

She kept on stealing glances at Iceburg as the awkward silence was slowly building up again. Ninjin soon realized that they wanted to be alone and walking away he told the older two," Well. You two have some fun! Don't stay out to late! And Rose. I can't wait to hear what you have to say about how you met him later. I'll be waiting."

With a quick wave, he ran off. When they made sure that he was out of sight, they relaxed their unknowingly tensed muscles and looked at each other. Not being able to contain the feelings of finally seeing each other after so long, they walked up to each other and hugged once again.

She felt her whole world spin as she started to slip away from consciousness. She let herself forget everything that happened earlier that day with the Strawhats and just slip into the wood shaving and paint scent that was slowly wafting from her friend.
