Following the events that ended the–.

(Cucumber): HEY! WAIT! Hold on, Joe.

Cucumber appeared by the 4th wall and said, "Joe, hold on. We're not starting it off, that way. I know it's rushing, but we haven't properly introduced this chapter. We needed a smaller Cold Open to this fic, but we'd rather not DO a Cold Open."

Joe said, from off-screen, "But you're doing one, right now."

"What I am doing is simply making the point of Season 8, as we will have newer characters, minus the regulars, such as The Gang, Aya Hoshino, The 6Teen guys, and even others."

"Yes, sir. But just so you know, it's a little old, keeping the regulars."

"Tell that to Pokémon."

That's Haruka's brand, when she was in Pokémon Advanced, before Dawn replaced her.

Yeah! And then Iris, and those two kids.

You never watched the NEW Pokémon Season, did you?

No.

"See? They get the point!" Cucumber replied.

Joe replied, "Well, alright. But the sooner we create this season, the better."

Cucumber said, "Start at clean slate, readers. A brand SPANKING new season of Miyazawa & May~! With Yuki, Haruka, and brand new characters in the storyline…"

The Red Guy appeared and called, "And me~, The Red Guy!"

He chuckled, as he barked at the Cucumber Man, "HEY! I have to make an appearance, somehow."

He laughed, as Cucumber sighed, "Roll the damn season…"

Miz-K NOTE: Due to creative control, and because I have no plans on continuing, with almost every character in this fanfic from blacklisted shows, I'm unable to continue this fanfic.

Epilogue
Our Home Sweet Home, Mr. Building!

Following the events that ended the possibilities of a hell on earth, and all the Alternate Worlds, Yukino Miyazawa & May retire in their new home – Mr. Building. It was a huge apartment complex, five stories tall, in six floors. The girls hail in Room 413, which is on the 4th floor. And already having a happy ending… except…

Yukino was sitting at the table, reading a newspaper. She was worried, as she said, "I'm beginning to think that we'll never get home. But it does make me feel like a queen, at home."

She relaxed, as she was remembering all the memories she had with her little friend, since the very beginning. Even so, there was a lot she'd endured, but survived along the way (despite dying twice – once blown to bits, and once bitten by a vampire). She stopped and shook her head. She replied, "This sucks. My life can't get any worse off than before. I mean, we had a wonderful wedding, for Aya, and she took care of Haruka, during my absence. Anyway…"

She smiled, as she looked up, "Aya, you're a good friend. I hope we'll meet again, if you can visit us."

May appeared, in her pink shirt and shorts, as she called, "Yuki? Did you say something?"

Yukino put the paper down, as she gasped, "UH, ME? Uh, oh, no…"

May asked, "Then why did you mention Aya?"

"Oh… Well, I have been thinking about her, and…"

"Don't say it. She's happy now. She got her wish, since closure from Chris McLean, who is now in Hell."

"HARUKA! BAD! I know we saved that infernal realm, but please don't mention it, again!"

"But Yuki…"

"Look, that was a long time ago, and I chose to forget it."

"But that was a month ago."

"Oh."

May giggled, "Still, you're right. We taught four bad teens a lesson, Tohru Honda's gone forever, and we are at peace… for now…"

Yukino huffed, "Don't remind me. I'm stuck here with you, and all the disasters in this Moji Mikisa gets worse off, day after day. Not unlike a while ago… when you were-."

May smiled, "Yuki, it's fine. So, Betty and Veronica were evil. Alice did save them, saving our future."

"Yeah, how did you even remember it?"

"What can I say? You and I went time-traveling, didn't we?"

"Yes, I guess you're right."

May asked her, "Can I read the newspaper? I want to read the comics, or the entertainment section."

"I'm busy reading it." Yukino said, "You can have it, when I'm done."

May stated, "Okay. I have to get ready for work, tomorrow."

Yukino griped, "Jesus! You still have a job?"

May smiled, "Yes. The bakery was still nice to me. You wouldn't believe the cute clientele in the area. I got to meet the idol Kikuko, when she offered a bag of pastries."

Yukino smirked, "Really? Did you ask for her autograph?"

"No. She offered a picture with me. The boss liked it, and improved our profit."

Yukino smiled, as May left, "I'm gonna go play now."

"Be careful!" Yukino called, "I'm making dinner, tonight."

She sighed and relaxed, "Jesus… I thought she'd never leave. She has a job. I don't."

She was reading the newspaper, as she was looking through the Want Ads. She was desperate for a job, since she was a bit jealous of May's employment in the bakery. And now that the bakery has a pop idol visiting, she was angered by that moment.

"Even Miss Monochrome, the rookie sensation idol/mannequin, has prestige for her bakery." She quietly grumbled.

That evening, Yukino was watching out the window, as May was playing with Pero Pero. A knock on the door was made, as Yukino said, "I'll get it!"

May pouted, as Yukino opened the door. A boy in black hair and denim shorts was in the doorway, holding up a huge Welcome Basket, full of meats, cheeses, and breads.

"On behalf of everyone in the Seven Seas, lemme welcome you to Mr. Building, new neighbors!" He cheered, as he placed the basket down, "Here. It's packed with meats, meats, and more meats! Nami forbids me to eat them, since it's for the guests. Try it! There are big BBQ meats, make you packed in protein, strong like Popeye. Plentiful in your paunch. Portly in party favors."

He laughed, as May giggled, "He's funny~!"

Yukino said, "Thanks. I was making dinner, in a moment, and-."

Luffy said, as he was wearing his white sleeveless shirt and a straw hat, "Aw, that's okay. GO NUTS! Name's Monkey D. Luffy, by the way."

May giggled, "Monkey?"

Luffy said, "Oh, yes. But don't ever call me that. I have that name from my dad and grandpa, yet they go by different last names. I'm just like you. Oh, sure, I come later, in a day, I get Beli up the Yin-Yang, and I take voyages, but I don't like being called "Monkey"."

He showed his feet, "All Mr. Building visitors have complimentary leather sandals, worthy of your customs. Like it, wear it as much as you can. See my feet? I'm wearing them right now. Don't fit or don't like them, then neither do I!"

He threw the sandals away, and cried out, "GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!"

He smiled, "Ever see a guy say good-bye to a shoe?"

May smiled, "Yeah, twice."

Luffy said, "Well, have fun and enjoy your new home. By the way, I am in Room 602, near my crew, 603, 604, 605, and 606. We all share the same floor!"

He dashed off, as he said, "Later, neighbors; although, I don't like the term "neighbors"!"

Yukino asked, "Such an odd fellow."

May smiled, "Whatever. FREE food!"

Yukino looked in the basket, as she saw loaves of French bread, pounds of gouda, Swiss, and cheddar cheese, and an endless supply of huge meats, by the bone. She groaned, "Heavy loads. I wonder if it'll fit."

Yukino carried some to the fridge, as May was reaching for a huge meat. Yukino called, "Haruka, move it!"

May sobbed, "Yes, Yuki."

She carried some, as Yukino said, "You know that those meats are raw."

May said, "I know."

They put the food away, as Yukino thought, "Maybe I can get a job at the place Monkey Luffy hangs in…"

May asked, "You say something?"

Yukino said, "Oh. It's nothing."

As they were putting the food away, preparing for their dinner, Luffy was walking upstairs, heading back to his room. He said, "I'm such a nice guy. Too bad they don't know about me… yet. I'm famous."

He whispered, "And the Haruka kid is famous, too. Neat."

He returned to Room 602, on the top floor, as he was greeted by a woman in long orange hair and huge breasts, wearing a blue bikini top and jeans.

"Where have you been?" She barked at him, "That was long of you to greet new neighbors!"

Luffy smiled, "Calm down. I did your job, and I'm going to rest."

Nami scolded, "OH, NO! You're not going anywhere. You have a lot of neighbors left to go to!"

A man with green hair called, "That's enough, you two!"

He was wearing an olive green kimono, with three swords, and his left eye scarred and closed. He proclaimed, "In any case, did you see the girl?"

Luffy smiled, "Uh-huh. Ever since these tacky girls in maid uniforms appeared, it was not safe. So, I waited, until the time was right. Those two are darling young women."

Nami said, "Well, albeit, it's nice to finally meet with the neighbors. Also, you didn't spill out who we are."

Luffy giggled, "She's bound to know, sooner or later. But her face is all like "I don't care". And the young one is like a cute angel."

Zoro replied, "Maybe so. But seeing these two together, as a cute couple, makes me wanna retch. Besides, we have bigger things to worry about…"

He held up one of his swords and said, "The shadow of death… it's drawing near…"

Luffy asked, "Huh? What do you mean?"

Nami replied, "Zoro, is it Onigiri, again?"

Zoro growled, "Worse off. I can sense their imminent evils, coming near. The others are relaxing in their rooms, not knowing. If anything happens to those innocent victims, I'd not forgive myself."

Luffy responded, "That's not like you, Zoro."

"I know. I'm being dramatic."

Luffy giggled, "Well, not to be rude, but I did invite those girls over, some time, to our floor, if they want to get to know us better."

Nami roared, as she conked Luffy in the head, "YOU WHAAAAAT? WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM, CAPTAIN?"

She scolded him, "YOU LISTEN TO ME! THE LAST THING WE WANT IS TO BE KNOWN IN PUBLIC BY CIVILIANS! YOU WANT HER TO FIND OUT THAT WE'RE REALLY PIRATES?"

Luffy, with lumps on his head, moaned, "Sorry… I just wanted to meet-n-greet."

"WHO CARES ABOUT A MEET-N-GREET! THOSE TWO AREN'T WELCOME HERE, EVEN IF THAT GIRL IS HARUKA!"

Nami kept shouting, as Zoro ignored the noise. He said, "These guys never learn, do they?"

XXXXX

May was in her room, posing to a mirror, like a mannequin. She said, "Cuteness, and stiffness. I wonder if I'll follow her expectations."

Yukino asked, "Dare I ask why you are posing like that?"

May said, "That idol I mentioned, Kikuko, she wasn't the only girl that came. In fact, I also do sign holding at the café, since I wanted to pose in different forms. Another idol, Miss Monochrome, taught me some pointers, after she bought a chestnut cake."

"You know that she's an android…"

"I knew that."

She stopped, as Yukino said, "Listen, those neighbors, up there on the top floor… I advise you to stay away from them. Freaky as it seems, I just can't have a repeat performance, like back in the Broken Shades, down in Salmon City."

"What's wrong with the Broken Shades, aside from bad and saddened memories?"

"Well… the neighbors are very loud… and it's kinda a dump."

"Sorry, Yuki, but I don't approve of dives as dumps."

"YOU CALLED THE OLD HOME A DIVE?!"

"Well, it's a bit cramp. And you didn't approve of me, sleeping with you."

Yukino sighed, "Oh, go pose for your Ultimate Mannequin Challenge!"

She walked off, as May stuck her tongue at her. She smirked, "Worried. Anyway, where were we?"

She continued posing, as she was having very tough difficulty, holding still.

Meanwhile, Yukino was calling Room 602, on the phone. She called about a job offering, if Luffy has one available. A woman spoke, in a nice voice, "I'm sorry, Miss, but Captain Luffy is busy with an important task. Also, he's being punished by Miss Nami, for his outbursts about your friend."

"Huh?"

"It's hard to explain. How's tomorrow afternoon?"

"Delighted. I mean, I have time; plus, Haruka's going to work, that day. Tomorrow at 2?"

The woman said, "Two is fine. Goodbye."

She hung up, as Yukino said, "Oh, boy. This is disastrous. I wonder if May will know."

May called, "Yuki… Yuki!"

She was holding her pose, with her arms out, as she was shaken and fidgeting. May moaned, "I'm stuck…"

Yukino griped, "YOU KNOW, YOU SHOULD'VE AT LEAST TRIED TO MOVE! It's not about standing still, like some marble statue!"

May moved again, and rolled on the floor, "DAMN IT!"

She sobbed, "Man, in this body, I just can't seem to do good…"

Yukino replied, "You are a girl with powers, after all."

May sighed, as she was on the floor, "You're right. But nothing is happening yet. I needed to have a break, now and then. You think you can find Miss Monochrome, again?"

Yukino turned away and groaned, "Call her yourself, moron."

The next morning, Yukino was preparing to take a bath, as May called, "Yuki? I'm going to work, now. You need anything?"

Yukino said, "Yeah, I'm fine. Also, I'm sorry, but I have an important meeting, later."

"Yuki, you're unemployed."

"Not really. I'm still a Plastic Surgeon to the stars, but this is important. I am not always a doctor."

"I get it. But you still need money, since this place is rent-hungry. I'm saying that, since it's called Mr. Building."

"No, I get it. You be careful."

May left, as Yukino went into the bathroom.

XXXXX

That afternoon, Yukino arrived at the sixth floor, as she saw a woman with long black hair, sans bangs, and a revealing purple dress. She turned to her, as Yukino was blushing, "Who are you?"

Yukino whispered, "So jealous…"

She calmed down and said, "Uh, I am Yukino Miyazawa. I, uh, called yesterday. I was wondering if Mr. Luffy is available."

Robin said, "Oh, yes. He's busy with lunch. Knock on his door, over there. I'm in 604, if you need me. Nico Robin."

They shook hands, as Yukino said, "Flattered, uh, Delighted to meet you, at your very breast-, URK! Chest! I mean chest! Uh…"

Robin giggled, "I get that, a lot…"

Yukino shrieked, and she cried, "NO! NO! NO! I wasn't getting that! No… I mean, I wasn't talking about your breasts, after all. I am married, have three kids, and I am living with the girl you know of."

"Not at all?"

"Uh… Well…"

She fainted, as Robin smirked, "You know, you're a real funny one, kid…"

Yukino was pale blue, as she groaned, "Don't… mention it…"

She sobbed, as she thought, "Why me? How big are her boobs? F? G? H? I don't care, give me a whole alphabet row, and get back to me."

Robin asked, "You okay, Miss?"

Yukino sat up, covering her nose, "Oh, no biggie… uh, no worries… Just had a titty-, uh, dizzy spell. Sorry, again…"

Robin giggled, and then said, "Well, come on, I'll show you to Luffy."

She and Yukino went into Room 602, as Robin knocked on the door. Luffy called, "Yes?"

Robin said, "Miss Miyazawa wants to see you!"

He asked, "REALLY? Lemme get ready!"

He panicked, as noises were made. Yukino asked, "Uh… Is he ever that in a hurry?"

Robin said, "No. He usually sleeps, while he eats or listens."

"Reminds me of Haruka…"

The door opened, as Luffy, in his red jacket and black shorts, appeared. He also has a huge X scar on his chest, and with his straw hat on. He smiled, "Ahoy, Yukino~! It's been a while."

Yukino stammered, as she asked, "Uh… You're Luffy?"

Luffy let her in, as she was gasping, "HEY, WAIT!"

"Oh, don't be so excited. It's an honor to see you here. Lunch?"

"Oh, no. I just ate. Thanks."

"Good. Anyway, what brings you here?"

Yukino sat down in a chair, as she offered a job in Luffy's work. He then said, "Sure. You mean a part of my crew? Why not? I think we can work in the berries, and think of how the work ethic will do, once you're outdoors."

"You're an outsider?"

"Uh-huh. We happen to be loyal sailors in the Alternate Worlds' seas-o-plenty. Here, I am your captain, and you are my first mate."

Yukino bowed and said, "Uh, thank you, Monkey… I mean, uh…"

Luffy said, "No! I told you, don't call me Monkey! I prefer to be called Captain Luffy, to you. But don't call me that, until you get the job. Just call me Luffy."

"Done." Yukino said, "Now, about this job, as a freighter…"

"A freighter? Yeah… It's a good job. Also, we don't cause much mischief, unless angered."

"I see, Luffy. You're more of a sailor than a delivery man."

"Uh-huh. There's a lot you don't know about me. One time, Zoro and I caught a huge fish, and we cooked it, having lunch."

"No kidding."

He continued to talk about his tales, as Yukino was excited. Of course, she thought, as she was a little bored, "I wonder if this is life, outside the cities and lifestyle."

Luffy said, "But enough about me. How about you? My dream is to be the Pirate King!"

Yukino said, "Well, yes… I mean, you are a voyager in the seven seas. Uh… My dream is to own the Hanshin Tigers."

"Not the Yomiuri Giants?"

"No. They're too prestigious."

"Stick with me, and you can have Berries for currency. Berries are like money, not literal berries. You want to earn bones, or berries, get a job! Who am I saying? You're hired! I like your style, seeing as you are Haruka's friend."

Yukino asked, "Seriously? Where do I start?"

He said, "Right now. Come on, I'll introduce you to the crew."

They left Room 602, as Robin called to the others. They all stepped out, as Yukino was stammering in shock, especially seeing Franky, a huge muscular man in red speedos, robot arms, a blue buzzcut and shades, and a chrome nose, Brook, a skeletal man in a purple blazer, green and black bell bottoms, star-rimmed shades, and a green electric guitar, and Chopper, a small deer with his blue hat on. She calmed down, as Sanji, a man with blonde hair and a goatee, approached her. He asked, "Luffy, who's the woman?"

Luffy called, "Everyone, meet Yukino Miyazawa. She'll be our newest crewmate, from here on out."

Yukino said, "Uh, I only wanted the exercise, not just for money."

"Not really?" Nami asked, "How come you're nervous?"

Yukino said, "That's because all of you are weird-looking. And the fact that it feels like-."

Luffy laughed, "It does! But we're all different, since we all have different beliefs and goals. Nami wants a lot of money, and to create the world's biggest map, Zoro wants to be a strong swordsman, Sanji wants to find All Blue, Franky wants to make the perfect ship, and Chopper wants to be an accomplished doctor."

She asked, "Wow. You guys have different beliefs… But do you ever fail them?"

"Not always. We all trust each other, since we're a great crew. Speaking of trust, as we speak, I was wondering if we'll try it out. Here. I'll catch you, on three, as you fall backwards."

"Oh, a trust exercise? Cool, I'm in."

Yukino turned away to Luffy, as he counted down, "3… 2…"

Purupurupuru… Purupurupuru…
Luffy's transponder snail, their version of a phone, rang, as he stated, "One second."

He answered it and said, "Hello?"

THUD!
"Oof!" Yukino fell, at the moment Luffy answered the snail.

"OH! Sorry, man. That wasn't the exercise. Ignore that. Excuse me. Yes?" He called to the snail, and was annoyed, "Really? Right, Usopp. I'll meet you there."

Ca-chunk!
He hung up, as he said, "Sorry, Yukino, I have to go. Usopp and I will take care of something: someone took my port in the East Coast Port. It's not far from here, but it's where we work. You handle the crew. I need volunteers."

Robin and Zoro volunteered, as Yukino said, "Okay, be careful."

As the crew left, Brook laughed, "YOhohohohoho~! You're our newest crewmate. And a woman, too…"

Nami sighed, "Please don't…"

Yukino said, "Oh, sorry. I don't mind it, but… I am married, after all."

Brook said, "Even better, since it puts a smile on my huge face; which is illogical, if skeletons have faces!"

They laughed, as Nami growled, "Brook, no…"

Brook then asked, "Seriously, Ms. Miyazawa… or is it Mrs. Miyazawa?"

Yukino said, "Mrs. Arima, actually."

Sanji pouted, "Married… She's married…" as he sulked in the corner.

Brook asked, "Seriously, as I was saying, Miss Miyazawa… Do forgive my rudeness, but could you, perhaps, show me your panties?"

POW!
Yukino socked him in the skull, as she roared, "BASTARD!"

He dropped to the ground, as he moaned, "YOHOHOHOHO~! SO POWERFUL! That would bring a severe and bloody gash in my boney head… though it'd make sense, if I had blood."

Yukino sighed, "Such a joker…"

Franky said, "Better distance yourself from the other crewmates, lady."

He beeped, "You are a valued human."

"WHOA! Human to robot?" She gasped.

Nami said, "You'll get used to it. Luffy likes it, but it's how we're made. Welcome to the Straw Hats, Miss Miyazawa."

Sanji smiled, "So, while you're here, how about I make you a snack, Miss Miyazawa? Or is it Mrs. Miyazawa?"

Yukino smiled, as she responded, "Hey. Call me Yuki."

XXXXX

Back in Mr. Building, Yukino set her alarm for 5am, as she was preparing for her job. May appeared, as she yawned, "Yuki… Going to bed?"

Yukino replied, "Oh, yes. I'm going to work, tomorrow. That nice job at the seaside, I just got in. Also, I'm sorry, but you're going to have to go, alone, to work."

"That's okay. I'm getting used to the directions. Plus, it's nice to be outdoors, alone. But I go hungry, sometimes."

A voice said, "Yeah, right. You're a glutton for food. Hope you don't get fired, kid."

A man in green hair, in his green kimono, was sitting in the corner, meditating. May asked, "Uh, who are you?"

Yukino barked, "THIS ISN'T YOUR ROOM!"

Zoro said, "Sorry. Took the wrong floor…"

May asked, "What room do you go to?"

He said, "Room 603. Did I take the wrong floor?"

May said, "This is Room 412. Yours is two floors up. Come on, I'll take you back."

Zoro said, "Thanks. I have problems with directions, since this place is huge."

They left, as Yukino sighed, "How in the blue hell did he get a job there?"

She relaxed in bed, as she moaned, "Great… I get all kinds, everywhere I go."

She smiled, "But they are nice neighbors, even for sea travelers like them."

She went to sleep, as the days rolled on. Even so, Yukino and May continued to relax, on a brisk spring day.

Days later, Yukino and May were sitting together, as they watched the sunset.

"Yuki… You think we may find a way to save our worlds?"

"One hopes." Yukino said, "You know… It's great to think about it, especially all the great moments we shared. Ever since I met you, and everyone else, my life has changed. Reuniting with my family… and even having so many adventures… It makes me feel so lucky…"

"Yeah? Well, I'm happy to have met you, Yuki." May said, "If I didn't find out who I am, or was… nothing would matter to this world for me. You think I'll ever find out who I really am?"

"That depends… For now, let's live for the moment. Besides, we were hoping for a new wave of adventures… but I guess that's all there is to it… Perhaps maybe, for us, we deserve a break."

"You said it, Yuki." May smiled. She then said, "By the way, sorry again about what happened to your husband…"

"I choose not to talk about it. Sorry again about Nodoka. I wonder whatever happened to her…"

May said, as she watched the sun set, "Well… I know I cannot forget what she did, I can forgive her. After all… She helped me."

"You helped enough… Everyone we met, we did so much for them… And to think, it all started because of someone's lust for power. But still, we'd not be here, if it weren't for you."

"Oh, stop…" May giggled.

"Aya would be proud… Hikari would be proud… even April…" Yukino said, "Everyone, they gave us a reason to live. That moment we had, during Four Seasons Land, it changed us both. I'm not leaving your side, not one bit. Promise me that."

"Okay… I promise. But that doesn't mean I get to bug you a lot."

"Oh, don't worry. I'm used to it." They laughed together.

As they leave together, heading to their rooms, Yukino narrated, "It may take time for this Moji Mikisa, but at least I'm not alone. There's someone here that will help me find my way home… but for now, this is home."

"What do you say, Haruka? Wanna go for anything you like?" Yukino said to her friend. May replied, "Yes, please!"

The two girls left the apartment, walking together. A friendship has been born, and it took them so long to adjust. While mysteries are yet to be solved, these two will be there, to help out in this matter. Perhaps this is where our story ends, but maybe not. We are only cutting the surface of what's to come.
Yukino Miyazawa… Haruka…
Two young women, and possibly… two chosen saviors.

And this is where our story ends. Yukino Miyazawa & Haruka lived happily ever after, together as friends. But the Moji Mikisa's problems were far from over.

However…

Meanwhile, in Florida…

The cell doors opened, as a woman appeared in her hooded attire, with long light brown hair. She sighed, as she was waiting to leave. She walked past the guard, as he said, "Oh, good morning, Father. It's been a while since we saw you. I see you grew your hair out. When was the last time you came home?"

She thought, as she was calm, "I have no further use for this place now."

The woman departed, as the doors slammed shut. She thought, as she smirked, "My work here is done. I have everything under control." She was outside the prison and she waited, "The only thing left for me to do now… is to wait for my fated time to go to heaven."

She removed her hood, showing her longer hair and bangs. She also sports a star on the back of her neck.

Who is this woman, and what is her next step? There are so many questions, with very few answers. For now, we conclude our story.

The End
