Jade: hmmm, epilogue, tis now the time of reckoning! No, tis now the time of DOING SOMETHING!
Zoro: -starts to say something-
Jade: GO AWAY! This is MY author note! ALL MINE! Nobody else's, MINE! Heh heh heh -twitch-
Story very short, heh heh heh, epilogues usually are, -looks around suspiciously-
5 YEARS LATER (heh heh, 5 not 10)
The friends sat at the long wooden table, enjoying an enormous meal.
"It's so nice to all be together again!" Nami said with a smile, "Ussop, how's your horse business going?"
"Great!" said Ussop, "I've got people from overseas coming to me to buy a top breed champion race horse!" he laughed, "I'm making a fortune!"
"I finally bought that fancy restaurant." Sanji put in.
"Really? The Baratie? When did this happen?" Nami said.
"Just yesterday, I'm letting the cooks there stay. But the head chef is an old geezer." He replied.
"You're not the only one with good news." Zoro said.
He took Nami's hand and showed his friends the ring on her finger.
"We're engaged!" she said before kissing Zoro.
"Frout hime foo!" said Luffy, his mouth full of meat.
"Come again?" Ussop said.
He swallowed, "About time too!" he repeated, a huge smile spread across his face.
Zoro smiled and looked around, despite the huge change in their lives over the past 5 years, everyone was still the same. Ussop was still telling tall stories and still carried around that slingshot. Sanji, well, lets just say he wasn't about to settle down with one girl too soon,and he still wore that same smart black suit. Luffy was still wearing that straw hat, just now he had the small gold crown sitting on top of it. And by the looks of it he wasn't about to give up his trademark red shirt too soon. Nami still found it fun to pull up carriages and pretend that she was going to steal from them; she never took anything anymore, she had no need for the loot.
After all, they now had a lovely house where the camp used to be, and in the backyard of their home was the little cave filled with old beds and silverware. Zoro hadn't changed much himself; he put his hand on the three blades on his hip.
"I never get to use these much" Zoro thought disappointedly.
"Oi moss-head! Pass the salt you lazy bum!" Sanji said.
"What did you call me?"
"You heard me Marimo!" a grin spread over his face.
Sanji stood and so did Zoro.
"Take it outside" Nami said it like this was absolutely normal.
They both left the room, you could see them begin to fight throughthe window.
"10 beli on Sanji," Ussop said.
"No way! I'm gonna take you up on that bet! 10 beli on Zoro!" Nami said.
She looked out the window in time to see Zoro knock Sanji to the ground, Zoro and Nami made eye contact and he grinned. Sanji took this moment of distraction to land a kick to the back of Zoro's head.
"They're gonna be awhile" said Luffy.
Nami smiled, "you know, we really are the most unlikely of friends."
Luffy spoke, "I'm glad that we're nakama."
Jade: NOW it's the end, or is it? Well it is as far as I'll write so it is. Everyone is happy, except for Sanji because he lost that fight against Zoro but he got over it pretty quick!
Sanji: I lost?
Zoro: No surprise there :-)
Nami: Pay up Ussop!
Ussop: Can I pay you later?
Nami: sure but there will be an interest rate of 17percent :D
