Dusk & Eclipse: Cause it's going to be one hell of a ride.


Garp is in his office, snoozing away with no care in the world. Usually Sengoku would berate him for slacking off but he's not here so free time for him, he guess. It was quiet, peaceful even. No disturbance, no ruckus and no-

A sound of papers being moved snaps him out of his sleep, snot bubble popping. Waking himself up, he yawns and stretch before turning to the sound. Looking around his office, it didn't take him long to find the culprit as his eyes zone on his desk. Inside the drawer where he keeps his files, a flying squirrel is rummaging through papers like it was looking for something. Now anyone might think this is a normal creature and leave it alone, he knows better than that, for you see this no ordinary squirrel. I mean there's no such thing as squirrel having a coral fur. Frowning to himself, he crosses his arms before clearing his throat as he watch the squirrel's fur poof up as if it was startled.

The squirrel slowly turns around, blue eyes big as saucers, staring right at him in shock. Brown meets blue as they stare at each other. None made a sound or move a muscle. For a few minutes, it was complete silence between them until the squirrel blink its eyes, and with a nervous smile, spoke.

"Hello Garp."

"Clarity… what are you doing here in Marine HQ?"

The squirrel, now known as Clarity, chuckle nervously "just looking for something." Garp raises an eyebrow.

"Like what?" It took her a couple of seconds before she responds.

"Oh you know… stuff." He sighs.

"Clarity."

"Okay I'm looking for a specific file." She confessed. Garp laughs a bit.

"And what kind of are you looking for?" He asks. Clarity sighs before getting out of the drawer, and climbing up to the desk. Once she was situated, she looks up and answers.

"I'm looking for Coby's file." Sensing his confusion she starts to explain "I wanna know what day is his birthday. So when I meet him again, I can give him a gift." The vice admiral stares as she looks at the wall, avoiding eye contact. It was a bit awkward since he's a marine while she's a pirate, well, technically a pirate since she's voyaging with Luffy. Suddenly, the man laughs spooking her as he clutches his stomach. The changeling raises an eyebrow, wondering why he's laughing but before she gets the chance, he stops and smiles.

"That's it huh?" He stood up, pick her up and walk to the other drawers in the room. Putting her on his shoulder, he then open one of the drawers and looked through the files before taking one out "here we go." He opens the file to reveal a picture of a small boy with glasses and pink hair. He brings the file closer, letting her see as well. She thanks the marine before reading the paper.

As she scans through the paper, her eyes caught onto something she was looking for. Underneath his age, it's the day of his birth. She grins but then frowns when she read it.

May 13th

But that was days ago and she missed it.

She groans which made him laughs "flip flop damn it."

"I guess you found it huh?" She sighs.

"Yes but I missed it." Garp laugh some more "it's not funny." He chuckles as he put the file away.

"It kind of is, Clarity." Glaring at the old man, Clarity huff before flying off his shoulder and landed on the floor. She then change into a dog as Garp close the drawer "so what now?"

"What do you mean?" He turns around and cross his arms, a smirk on his face.

"I thought you want to find out his birthday, so you can give him a gift." He raises an eyebrow "don't tell me you don't want to any more." She looks away; frown on her muzzle as she sat down.

"No… it's not that just…" Clarity sighs "I never miss a birthday before. I mean every time when its one my little stars birthday, I gave them a gift, and I'm always on time." She kicks her front paw "now that I know his birthday… I don't know if I can give him one."

"You can still give him one."

"Huh?" She turns to Garp, who smirk.

"Just because someone's birthday pass doesn't mean you still can't give them a gift." He shrugs "just wish them a happy birthday and they'll appreciate it." She blinks her eyes.

"Really?" He nodded "so I can still give him a gift?" Another nod "even though it's late." He nodded again. Clarity slowly blinks her eyes as she thinks his words over. Slowly, a big grin appears on her face as her tail wags in excitement. Standing up, she grin "Garp you're a life saver."

"No problem." He grins "now get going before the brat starts to wonder where you at." She nods.

"Okay later gramps, and thanks." With a wave of goodbye, Clarity disappears into thin air, leaving no trace behind. Garp stare at the spot where she was previously before laughing.

"It seems he's rubbing off on her."


On Thousand Sunny, Clarity in her lioness form, is staring at Coby; who's watching all of this while Garp throw cannonballs at them. She couldn't believe that is the same boy she met all those days ago.

'My, has he grown.' She smiles as she kept an eye on the shore. She can see Usopp at the shore, screaming for them. Knowing it might take long, she took this opportunity to teleport herself from the ship to the marine's ship, causing everyone plus Coby to jump in shock. Looking up at Coby, she grin "hello sweetheart."

Coby blinks his eyes before realizing who this is "Clarity? Is that you?" He received a nod "what are you doing here?"

"Oh you know traveling around with the Straw Hats." She looks over and grins bigger when she spots the blond man "hello Helmeppo." Said man nervously wave.

"Hello Clarity." She giggles before looking back at the pink haired man.

"How about you, sweetie? I see training had paid off."

"Yeah it did. It was tough but I've finally became a marine." He said happily. She nods. Taking a quick glance she can see that Usopp on his knees, crying as he apologizes. Seeing she doesn't have any time left, she looks at Coby and smile.

"I love to stay and chat but I got to go." She giggles when he whines "but before I do, I need to you do me favor."

"Okay. What is it?"

"Stick out your hand." Coby raises an eyebrow but did what he told. He watch the lioness stares at his hand before putting her on it, leaving it there "now when I let go, quickly close your hand and don't look until I'm gone. Understand?" Knowing what she meant, he nods his head. She nods before letting go and just as she suggested, he quickly closes his hand. She grins happily as she chuckles "now remember what I said."

"I know. Don't look until you're gone." That earns him a purr from the big cat.

"Good boy." Looking behind herself, she saw a rubber arm clasping hand with Usopp before pulling him away. Grinning from ear to ear, she laughs "well time for me to go." She turns around at the boy "see you again Coby and happy birthday."

"Wait what?" He asks "but it's not my…" He wasn't able to finish before she teleported away. Staring at the spot, he blinks his eyes before turning around just in time to see the ship flew away. The marine watch in disbelief while he watch in awe. Suddenly, he felt movement in his hand causing him to look down. Remembering what she said, he slowly opens his hand and what he saw made him in awe.

A little dragon made of light looks at him then roars before flying around him. He watches the dragon, awe and excitement in his eyes before it stops and landed on his neckerchief. It wraps itself around the neckerchief then went still as if it was pretending to be an ornament. He stares at the little dragon before a soft smile graces his face. He looked up at the sky and as he pet the creature, whisper "thank you, Clarity."


Two years later, Coby is walking around HQ, staring out the ocean; while subconsciously petting the little dragon on his scarf. A big smile is on his face as he remembers that day before chuckling. Shaking his head, he continued walking, minding his business while unknowingly, passing a women leaning against the wall.

The women smile "wow doesn't miss me huh?" She smirks when she saw him stop "well at least he like my gift." Coby turns around in shock, staring at the women.

"Clarity? Is that you?" Said women grins at him.

"Hello sweetheart." The boy smiles in excitement.

"Clarity! What are you doing here?" Clarity laughs, pushing herself off the wall. She dusts off her aquamarine halter dress before walking towards him.

"Oh you know, traveling around and going to different places." She stops in front of him "how about you, Coby?"

"I'm good and I'm glad you're doing okay." He then hums before asking a question "but why are you here?" He watches as the women smiles softly at him.

"Well I miss a special someone's birthday last year." She smirks "so I decided to make it up to him this year by giving him to two gifts." Her smirk grew when she heard a gasp.

"You got me gifts? Clarity, you shouldn't have you to."

"But I want to. So I'm going to." Looking around, and making sure she isn't seen, she looks back at the boy and smiles "now are you ready for your gift?" Receiving an excited nod, she grins before cupping her hands together. She blew inside it three times then rubs them together. Once she was done, she looks at him making him stare at her. Without losing eye contact, she slowly opens her hands to reveal a crystal like dragonfly. He gasp in awe as the dragonfly flew around in her hand. He marveled at the display, excitement in his eyes. He then looks up at Clarity before hugging her in gratitude.

"Thank you, Clarity. It's beautiful." She giggles using one of her hand to pat his head.

"You're welcome, sweetheart." Stepping back, she handed him her gift before looking around again "okay I got to go, Coby. Don't want the others to see me especially that magma douche." She said whispering the last part. Coby nods as the dragonfly landed on his bandanna.

"I understand. You take care and when you get back, tell Luffy I said hi." She winks.

"You got it, and before I forget." Taking off his glasses, she lean forward and kiss him before pulling back, and putting his glasses on. She almost laughs at his flustered expression as he stumbled over his words "That's my second gift. Happy birthday sweetheart and I hope to see you soon. Bye-bye now." And with a wave of goodbye, she disappears into the thin air, leaving the flustered boy in her wake.
