Oh my gosh I am so sorry and I bet you all hate me (specially you tea!) the thing is I wanted to post pictures with this, well not pictures but links to pictures… but I only have two (Zoro + Nami and Luffy + Katelyn) but I can revise it later, I'd rather give you guys this to read so you don't give up on me and decide not to read Zoro's treasure 2… Ok here it is so so so sorry for the looooong wait! (ps: This is a looong chapter!) Oh and I agree that Zoro is a bit (or a lot!) OOC, but he is dealing with all those squiggly wiggly feelings we all love….. To hate! lol
Flitwick: We only own Katelyn and the sketchy girl Annie anything else and we'll let you know.
Chapter 19 Graduation
"So are we going to spend the night at the lake… by ourselves?" Usopp asked (it had been a week after prom).
"Usopp you are about to graduate, don't be scared."
"I know it's just that we always have supervision. Then bears don't attack and stuff."
"Just coz parents are there doesn't mean bears won't attack. They'll go on their own accord." Annie grinned (It was one of the rare times they saw her since prom).
"Ok enough chitchat, how do we look?" Kaya said as she and Nami stepped out of the bathroom. Kaya wore a sleek aquamarine sequined dress. Nami on the other hand wore a white dress with pinkish roses; it split from the left knee. Usopp and Zoro had their mouth's hanging open.
"Zoro you have got to stop! Are you trying to un-tomboy me or something?"
"What do you mean?"
"Cooing over me in dresses! I don't hate wearing dresses; it's just a bit weird." Zoro quickly grabbed Nami into an embrace; he kissed her on the cheek,
"You are pretty in a dress, but as you everyday you, you're beautiful!" Nami blushed lightly as she let Zoro hold her, he really was the prefect guy.
"Ok guys scat, Merry is escorting you out so you don't eavesdrop. Oh and Katelyn that dress you and Luffy picked out for graduation is supposed to be here by tomorrow ok?" Katelyn nodded happily.
"By Nami." Zoro said kissing her briefly. The mere 10 seconds it took, left her and Zoro with a stupefied expression on their faces, Zoro had to be led away by Luffy.
"You guys are each others first, aren't you?" Kaya grinned.
"What! No, we haven't done anything like that!" Nami said turning scarlet.
"I think what she means is that he is your first boyfriend." Annie said yawning.
"Oh, yeah he is. But Kaya I'm so happy! Weird huh though, I mean Zoro and I have been friends since we were in diapers, all of us have! Uh, cept for you n' Annie, Kate."
"So then do you and Zoro kiss a lot?" Kaya asked.
"Well not really but kind of often."
"Luffy and I kiss sometimes."
"Well every once in a while Usopp and I kiss." Annies mouth went wide open,
"Now way! Oh I get it, your just kidding right?"
"Nope, not this time. Usopp and I are going out now, and it's really amazing how great it is to kiss someone that you are really connected to!" Kaya said softly. All four girls sighed, daydreaming about their guys.
"I guess you are right, I mean if you and Usopp have that connection you must be. So are you guys getting a dorm at GMU (Going Merry University)?" Annie asked.
"Yeah I guess I'll try them out." Nami said.
"Yeah me too." Kate said.
"What, why don't you guys rent an apartment with me!" Kaya yelled.
"Kaya I want to try it ok? Then if its so-so I'll get an apartment with you, I promise."
"Fine Nami, but if it isn't a frickin awesome experience, then you'd better come live with me!"
"Ok, ok remember graduation is tomorrow. I want to be ready so lets sleep, are we going to breakfast or dinner?"
"Breakfast afterwards there will be a graduation party here." –Graduation day-
"Oh my gosh we're graduating TODAY!" Katelyn shrieked.
"Hush come on do your hair we got to go!" Nami said frantically attacking her own hair. At 8:30 they scrambled out of the house, planning to meet the guys at Denny's, who were all eerily calm when they got there.
"What is up with you guys? We graduate today, aren't you nervous?"
"No if you get nervous you can't eat, anyways we are graduating after breakfast, so chill!" Luffy grinned before ordering two Denny's' Grand Slam breakfasts. One hour later full and bloated (well Luffy anyway) the gang headed towards Graduation Hall it was held at Arlong events center.
"Did I mention that I hate this place?" Nami grumbled, earning a few chuckles from her friends. When they had to split up in ABC order Sanji winked,
"Miss me baby!" He said kissing Annie.
"I'll miss you Miss Kaya!"
"Usopp I told you just call me Kaya!" she protested. Now to the ceremony (ABC order by 1st name sorry I don't know all the last names, also only Luffy's gang stead of all One Piece High).
"First to call the names of all the One Piece graduates, our valedictorian Luffy Redhair!" Graduating with honors receiving the Devil-fruit-berry award and a full ride scholarship for grades here he is with the One Piece speech. Luffy bounded to the podium, grinning widely.
"I have always viewed this school as a second home. The faculty and the students are my family. In these past four years we've studied hard, made mistakes, had fun and some… fell in love. We of One Piece High are a well oiled machine. We win our games, we study, we learn and now our time here is done; but in our hearts we'll chant 'Oh when the pirates, oh when the pirates, oh when the pirates come sailing in! We'll be there to cheer the victors, oh when the pirates come sailing in!'(Sung to when the saints come marching in). 2004!" Luffy pumped his arm in the air.
"Graduating with an advanced diploma Kaya! Graduating with a scholarship for outstanding studies in geography, Nami! Accepted into the chefs' collage at GMU with a full ride scholarship, Sanji! Graduating with the Outstanding Students Scholarship, Usopp! And finally graduating with two sports scholarships in fencing and football, Zoro! And here is your graduating class of 2004!" The next few moments were a blur, there were tearful goodbyes to students going out of states; fresh tears from proud parents and overwhelmed students. Everybody arrived sniffling at Kaya's house. Nami's left knee was currently being tickled at the impish Zoro seated next to her.
"Nami quit squirming! That's not very lady-like!" Her sister hissed.
"Oh they are just playing around." Ms. R giggled, she was seated next to Shanks. Katelyn's parents were smiling kindly at her and Luffy. Sanji's parents couldn't stop saying how beautiful Annie was, Annie's parents just grinned. –After dinner-
"Come on pictures, I definitely want a picture of Nami, Zoro, Luffy, Usopp, Kaya and Sanji. No offense girls but these rugrats have been cavorting around my house since they were in diapers." Ms. R said.
"I think you should make six copies, Kaya where are your parents?"
"Oh away on business again, but they'd love a copy. Oh can you make one for Merry too?" Nami sighed as she watched everyone be happy and mill around. There was something nagging at her, what? She walked out to the balcony and was startled when a hand slipped around her waist.
"What are you doing out here?" Zoro whispered in her ear.
"Just thinking… Have you ever wished you were born in the past?"
"Yeah, like when there were pirates?"
"Yeah then."
"Yup, I could hunt pirates and you could be my navigator. We'd be perfect together!" Zoro grinned.
"But how could you be a pirate hunter, Luffy would definitely be a pirate!"
"Maybe we'd all team up?"
"Right like that would ever happen!" Nami laughed as she kissed Zoro. "You know I'd be too greedy. I'd want ALL the treasure." Nami giggled.
"But I would have all the treasure I needed."
"How?"
"You're my treasure Nami!" Zoro said kissing her softly. click, click
"I think I'll call that one 'Zoro's treasure'. Like my new camera, it's supposed to be super silent, got it for graduation!"
"Oh great just what we need, Luffy with another camera sheesh! But while your at it take pictures of all the couples will ya?" Sanji asked.
"Well guys be ready we have the summer… then it's off to college. You ready?"
"As long as we're together right Kaya?" Usopp asked.
"Hey remember WE'LL ALWAYS BE TOGETHER!" Nami shouted.
-The End For real, no more Zoro's treasure… but be sure to keep a lookout for ZT2!-
Well how'd you like the last chappie? Feedback always welcome! Oh btw the new girl I am pairing with Sanji will be ViVie, thanks for the help with that!
