I apologize for my little prank.(not really) I didn't know people would take it so seriously lol! :p

Luffy looked around the dark room, searching for the light switch. 'I wonder which idiot locked me in.' Luffy pulled the string in the middle of the room and turned on the light. He sat down on the gym mats and sighed. 'There are no windows, and my phone is in my locker with the rest of my things. What do I do? What good is a rubber ability if I can't use it in situations like this?' He stretched his fingers,"OOOOH! THIS CAN BE A SHIELD! HAHA I'M SO COOL!" Luffy let his fingers go back to normal and began to take off his soccer gear. 'Wait, if I'm locked in here for the rest of the day, that means... I won't get dinner! How can this be? Shanks said we'd be having yakiniku tonight to! I'm gonna kill the freaking bastards who locked me in here!'

Ace took off his baseball mitt and placed it in his locker. 'Luffy's soccer practice ended a little while ago, I wonder if he already went home. I'll drop by later to see if he's still there.' He took off his baseball uniform shirt and under shirt and revealed his slightly tanned muscular chest.

"Ace! Someone is looking for you!" Ace sighed,"Okay! I'll be right there!" Ace walked out of the locker room to see a familiar spiky haired blonde.

"Marco! You're back from suspension already? I didn't know that it's been a month already." Marco laughed,"It was your dumb idea to prank the teacher." Ace punched Marco in the arm,"I can't believe you got caught though." Marco shrugged,"Anyways, a couple of big guys came up to me earlier and told me the have your, brother? I don't know what they're talking about, I mean you don't have a brother." Ace grabbed Marco's shoulder,"Where are they at?"

"Uh, they said to meet them on the rooftop." Ace quickly nodded,"Tell them I have something to do, I'll be back in a little bit so tell them not to lockup yet!" Ace shouted back. Marco scratched his head,'What was that all about?' Ace quickly turned a corner and raced up the stone stairs into the school. 'Who are the bastards that took my brother? Did they take Sabo or Luffy?' Ace quickly avoided all of the people in the crowded hallway and ran up another set of stairs. 'Why are they all looking at me?' Ace turned another corner and ran up another flight of stairs and twisted the knob to the steel door. 'Crap it's locked!' Ace put his hand on the knob and quickly melted a hole in the door. He kicked the door open and walked onto the open rooftop. He looked around,'Huh, why is no one here?'

"Ace! Over here!" Ace turned his head, and there Luffy was, waving to him excitedly, on the rooftop across from the one he was standing on. Luffy laughed,"These guys told me they were your friends!" Ace sighed,'They aren't my friends.' Luffy stretched his arms and wrapped them around Ace, judging by the grin on his face something bad was about to happen.

"Luffy, what hell?!" Luffy laughed and suddenly Ace was being pulled off the roof.

"ARRRRGGHHHHHHH!" Ace only had a few seconds to scream before he collided headfirst with Luffy. Luffy giggled and smiled,"Yo, Ace!"Ace smacked him upside the head,"Idiot! What if you dropped me?" Luffy laughed,"Don't worry, I wouldn't do that." Ace looked down at the big hooligans who were now kneeling and crying?

"We would've never kidnapped your brother if we knew he had such an illness!" The leader wiped his eyes,"Who would've thought your lil' bro had an abnormal bone and skin disease like that!" Ace turned to Luffy,"What the heck are they talking about?" Luffy shrugged,"They locked me in the supply room. When they came to get me I beat the crap out of them. I used a rubber technique and told them I had a skin condition. They must be stupid or something."

Ace sighed and stood up,"Who the hell are you guys anyways?" The hooligan looked up,"You don't remember us?" Ace stared at him and shook his head.

"You beat us up about a month ago and sent us to the hospital. We were planning on revenge, but apparently strength runs in the family, and we didn't know he had such a horrible disease." Ace sighed,'I remember these guys.'(Chapter four if you forgot) Ace scratched the back of his head, only now realizing he was still shirtless. 'I totally forgot that I wasn't wearing a shirt.'

"Anyways, we've decided to follow you for the rest of our lives! Aniki feel free to command us to do whatever you wish!"

"What? Why?" Luffy patted Ace on the back,"They sure are interesting!"The hooligans looked at each other,"We did a little research and Aniki is the leader of the gang that controls the whole area! We figure that it's best to be on your good side." Ace frowned,"Leader? When did I ever become leader?" They looked at each other again,"What do you mean? You became the leader when you were a freshman. You single handedly beat the legendary Marco!" Ace's eyebrow twitched,"Marco was the leader? I guess that was why he would always make me come along to fights."

Ace scratched his belly, and pointed at the leader. "Give me your jacket. I can't walk around school half naked." The ruffian quickly unbuttoned his black gakuen jacket and handed it to Ace. Ace frowned,'Why does he have a gauken uniform? Whatever, I don't care.' Ace buttoned the jacket up halfway and sighed,'This looks lame. A black gauken jacket with baseball pants, it doesn't match at all.'

Luffy gave Ace a thumbs up,"You look so cool! Maybe you should try and style your hair in that weird twisty hairstyle."

"Heck no. Come on Luffy, I need to get changed, then we can go home and eat dinner." Luffy smiled,"What are we waiting for then lets go!" Luffy grabbed Ace's hand opened the door to the roof and pulled him through the school.

Sabo sighed and knocked on the laboratory door and took a deep breath. 'Calm down, he's probably not there.'

"Come in." Sabo gasped,'Crap!' He slowly slid open the door and walked into the laboratory so he could be face to face with the taller man.

"I wanted to know when and what time those study sessions are." The taller man grinned and put his test tube in the small test tube rack.

"The sessions start tomorrow at three o'clock. Be prepared,"he said as he crossed his arms and leaned closer to Sabo. "Tomorrow you will find out exactly why your brother is failing." Sabo leaned back,'He's to damn close!'

I know it's summer and all and that means longer chapters usually. Sorry, I'm too lazy. :( I will try next time, but don't expect it to be too long. Anyways, don't forget to review, if you want chapters faster then review! :o They are my inspiration! :D
