and we are back with another chapter. sorry i was gone for a little while guys. i got distracted with family and trying to find a job then had a few days where i was with my friends all day and didn't get to write. plus soccer is season is starting up again too.
anyway, to the reviews!
ChuPikaRai-
Here is an update! I had an idea for something like this and started writing then come to hey, look you finished this chapter let's post it. and well, yeah, I just post it when I was finished it.
The other request will be coming soon, most likely when I finish this one. I have started it knowing what I am going to do with it now. So everyone, look forward to an Ace x OC (Yuki) x Sabo story. Not an Macey one sorry, but I can write one when I have free time and once I finish these ones first.
And I know right? BLACK makes everything better… sorry, went into BLACK fantasy mode then. And I know right? I think a lot people were thinking- oh god, Marco answered the door. Sabo's going to kill, run for it Sabo! Marco was awful calm (aka hidden anger) was good, could have fooled anyone right?
An autograph…? Well, if I could give you one I would. Just because you said you wanted one. But I have no idea how to give you one… so… yeah…
Marco heading to GBFBD mode, of yes. I'm sure that mode will pop it's lovely head in at point or another. I love how I wrote that mode too, it's hilarious and I totally call copy right. So bibs on the copy right, but if anyone wants to use it feel free. Just say that I borrowed it from me and it's all good.
I would probably say that Macey and I are very similar. A lot of my views and looks on things I have and share with her. And in one way to say, what I am writing for Macey and Sabo as their 'date' is actually pretty close to my dream date or Valentine's Day. And thank you for saying that it's not a bad thing and that you think its cool. I think it's cool too.
Macey: next review!
Sanae6700-
I believe everyone was ROFL for hrs. Marco is seriously overprotective, we all love it. but kind of hate at the same time, but we mostly it. Ava? What did compel to you send him and everyone else a text message about Macey's and Sabo's yet to be called date?
Ava: I just send it to everyone in my contacts. I must have his number *shrugs it off like it was nothing and meant nothing*
I swear no-one in the D. Gol family thinks before they act or speak sometimes… first Ava with the text message then Ace with the whole 'we have to talk about sex' thing. Though, it is amusing for all of us.
Ava: we are doing it for our own amusement. There's nothing better to do after all.
Ann: it is hilarious that we all call it the non-date date.
Thatch: how did she know what we were up to?
Because she knows you guys. You are her family you know.
Thatch: true.
Yes, sadly they still stalk or creep on the date despite Macey getting mad at them. and I know, right? Macey's family is insanely overprotective and one of the main reasons why other than he has been too shy too, to say or confess anything sooner.
You'll just have to wait and see with FFP. Right now, they're too young for that kind of thing. And I know right? I love them forever too. And thank you, I like it when am able to make happy when they read my stories!
Okay, Ace and the fireworks… bahahahahaha! Everyone just has to wait to see what is going to happen with that. Let's just say, it's going to be very interesting and that is all I will say.
Marco: I would be happy if Ace ruined the mood
Go away spoil sport!
Marco *imfamous phoenix death galre*
Um… next review!
Anne happy901-
Yes, I know. The horror, Marco answered the door. Poor Sabo, but come on. We all saw it coming. And I know right? Macey and Sabo can't be alone, not that they were going to be alone in the finish place since they were seeing their friends and all, but still. Ava, you're an evil little sister. But, they will be alone for the fireworks. For the worse part of it anyway. and to Sabo, he could care less if they were really alone or not as long as Macey is happy, he's sweet right?
Would you bother with the task of trying to convince Whitebeard's sons and daughters to not spy on the date? I won't, it would just be a worse of energy. And yes, Whitebeard is secretly, well not so secretly, is hoping that Sabo and Macey will get together and wants to hear if it happens or not.
Ace, blow something up? Never.
Bahahahaha! Who am I kidding? Something is so going to get blown up and happen. this is Ace we're talking about and he has fireworks. And yes, he is quiet close to becoming a pyromaniac if he isn't already one.
Ace liking in one AU is different to him liking men in another AU. But yeah, he it is funy that he is denying it. and Ace really shouldn't just blurt the s word until he knows without a doubt that he and Sabo are alone. But yes, too late and Sabo's reaction is funny reasonable but cute all at the same time.
Is Ace going to spy on Macey and Sabo? well, keep reading to find out!
I know, it's a little sad that everyone knows of Sabo's crush but Macey doesn't. I think Don does a good thing of getting frustrated by it this chapter and does the explanation on how dense Macey is.
I wouldn't say that isn't that Macey isn't interested in entering a serious relationship. It's more like, she has always been more focused of getting her dream Hotel, Entertainment Centre and more all in one building (that takes up nearly a whole or two) that she has never really thought about love or anything before. But maybe that is going change soon *totally not dropping any hints here- cough, cough*
BLACK is here this chapter… bahahaha! Don tells everyone a hilarious about their relationship this chapter. Your all love it. and yes, they are finally together in this story.
How long do beta'd stories take…?
Anywhere between a few days to like 2 or more weeks. Depends on the beta reader is doing and if they're busy or not. Depends on how long or short the chapter is. how many mistakes I make and things like that. So, it just takes however long it ends up taking in all honesty. Plus, sometimes it can take me like a week or more to actually write a chapter too. So, yeah… it just takes time I guess.
Sabo: next review!
NatsumeDTsukiyo-
The stalker crews aka the Whitebeard group plus Ann and Ava are on the move, yes. we also have others too. I have no idea if it is good or not… we'll just have to wait and see won't we?
I think Macey might have unconsciously but purposely set them up to work out how she feels about Sabo. but I think she might start to realise her feelings for them this chapter. Because, if go to the day before Valentine's Day it would have been 60% but as the day goes on I think it will raise.
Kurai may or may not be Ace's future lover, I have used her name in another one of my fanfics. But you'll have to wait and see, now won't you? *grinning evilly*
Faye-
Yes, the stalkers on the move. There are more OCs to come you know. So many OCs, so little time and story space and I haven't even named them all yet. That's the funniest and saddest part of all. Yes, Sabo has one of a hell family, Macey too, and Axe is probably the sane in his family.
Why are Sabo's sisters following the date? For many reasons. Yes, their own entertainment but most to make sure that he doesn't royally screw up this chance and hopefully see Macey and Sabo get together by the end of it.
Yes, Sabo has very genuine feelings for Macey, it's so cute. It is genuine love. People could totally turn this story into movie.
Kai-
I know, overprotective family. I feel sorry for both Macey and Sabo, they both have overprotective families. It's just that Macey's is bigger and Sabo's more makes fun of him. Yes, Sabo did go through the whole thing where a parent or parents question and/or try to intimidate the person who are dating their kid to see if they are worthy or not. And to let everyone know, Sabo has passed it with flying colours and is seen as being worthy to date Macey. Marco ist just stubborn and doesn't like the idea that his little princess is all grown up. And yeah, they aren't officially date, yet.
Macey: I AM NOT A PRINCESS!
I got to hide soon…
Kurai, yes. she is girlfriend/love then fiancée then wife in my story 'The blind and Dare Date. Will Kurai join the Freedom Fighters in the future and will be Ace's future lover? Who knows, maybe she'll join Ace's crew the Spades and be his lover. Who knows? You'll just have to read FFP and find out, won't you?
DBZ-
Yeah, Pops is smart to agree to let them do it and to know that they were going to do it. with or without his permission. Your other OCs make an appearance in the main story very soon, say, the next main chapter of the story. Which I will post once I get it back from being beta'd.
I know, the events that happened in the Baratie is sweet right and nice right? Flowers are always nice, especially since Macey use to give them all flowers when they were school. Crystal isn't the only one who thought that Macey and Sabo have been dating for a while, as someone else thinks it this chapter too and really gets Macey thinking. It was all innocence and cute and funny, a small jab at Sabo all at the same time too.
Kaitlyn appears this chapter. I hope you enjoy her appearance
Anonymous-
Yes, overprotective has appeared. And more of him to appear his chapter as well! Izo must have so much fun with that, not. Lols.
I think it showed character when Sabo didn't run when Marco answered the door. Because he had been thinking about running but didn't. it shows strong characteristics right? And shows how much Macey means to him too.
Marco: I did wake early just to be the one to answer the door when Sabo come over for my daughter.
Yes, Marco got up early for all those reasons you named. and Macey's family wanted to both intimidate and support him.
BLACK does make a appearance. Just because my fans all seem to love it, and me too. I love BLACK too. Who doesn't love BLACK?
I wonder what Ace has planned for the fireworks? *grinning evilly and trying my hardest to not give anything away*
Sorry about the teasing cliffhangers, I just kind of like them and they just always seem to happen.
Luna-
Yes, your name is there but Luna has been one of the OCs that is coming into the main story and has been an OC since… last year I think? She's one of the OCs that AceAyane helped with.
BLACK is coming. They do get together after all this time. And I know right? They are just so obvious like Sabo it's hilarious. Crystal is innocent, she didn't purposely say. She truly thought that Macey and Sabo have been dating this whole time. And yes, Ava is evil.
I wonder how Sabo is going to confess with the stalkers around? Make them shake the stalkers off? Hmm… I wonder how?
Himeka-
BLACK is coming yes. Ace and fireworks, seriously, how is going to end? God only knows… oh wait… that's me XD lols. So me, how is this going? Me- just write it and find out. you heard me, I'll write and I'll find out then you guys get to read it and find out. I had been thinking about using fireworks was unsure if I should or shouldn't till you suggested it. so then u decided I had to use fireworks then.
I hope Ace doesn't go too overboard… whoever knows what is going to happen. Sabo us a real gentleman, isn't he? I kind of jealous of Macey too. Don't get me or anyone else started on Macey. I think Don summons what Macey and her denseness really well this chapter. Sabo does have it hard for Macey.
I think Macey sub-consciousness and unconsciousness that Sabo likes her and that she likes him, her conscious mind just hasn't caught up to it yet. And yes, Axe is probably the most sane person out of the two families and he would be the most thoughtful out of his siblings too.
Ava: I am both devious and cunning.
Lucky Lucy-
Thank you. I was aiming for cute, I believe Ava is both cunning and a teaser, plus a little cruel as well. How does Axe put up with his family antics? Probably by feeling sorry for Sabo and being the only sane one plus locking himself in his room and writing. Axe is like Sabo and wants to be a writer. Axe also plays the guitar and isn't a bad singer as well.
And I know, I think we all pity poor Sabo. he has to deal with so much. And don't worry, I switch between reading and using my phone and laptop so I can relate to laughing and nearly flowing off the bed. I do it when I read some reviews. Some people just say the most randomest things or just end up something writing something that I can't help but laugh at. But I also almost fall off my bed when I read reviews that make me happy, I just get so happy that I kind jump or bounce up and down on my bed then nearly fall off. Lols.
And I know right? I kind of half created BLACK for myself since I am an yaoi fangirl too. Then everyone seemed to like the idea of BLACK and everything well, I just really happy and decided to make the most official thing on fucking earth. Everything just seemed to fall into place with everyone liking BLACK just as much as I do. The pairing of two OCs is so cute.
And yes, Sabo is 2 years younger than Macey in FFP.
UnderTakerxXxMadnesS-
Thank you, here is another nice chapter. I had so much writing, I will admit though. I was laughing my head off at certain parts. The Ace moment was hilarious in chapter 2 and an overprotective father is a funny father.
Batora:
It is a good pic. Did you end up finding it?
I think we are all praying that Ace doesn't go too overboard with the fireworks. But the idea is sweet and thoughtful and adorable and I also think that Ace just wants an excuse to use and do fireworks.
And here's a fun fact for ya all. its illegal in Australia to do and use fireworks ourselves. Doesn't stop people from doing it though.
And I know right? Both families are really meddling into Sabo's and Macey's love lives aren't they? And I know right? Macey and Sabo do have this we are more than friends but not lovers (yet) aura and vibe about them don't they?
Yes, it is a little surprising that they haven't gotten together sooner and Sabo is really loyal to Macey. She's so lucky and doesn't even know it, yet.
Nekohime-chan-
Yes, BLACK. I love the pairing too. I think all of my fans love that pairing… And yes, Macey found out her family quickly and yes, too bad it isn't going to stop them. how Sabo didn't see what they were going is beyond me, actually, wait, I think he was trying it for brownie points so they wouldn't kill him.
And yes, I think we all waiting for Macey to realise Sabo's oh so obvious crush on her then everything will grand and happy and good. And I know right? Thatch's reaction to Sabo's plan was hilarious, it is actually something I based off that has happened to me in real life, it just had a completely different outcome though. I went and spend the day (my 21st birthday almost two years ago now) with a close friend who is a guy and my family (mostly my dad's side of family who were down and visiting from Sydney and who haven't seen me in a while) were dead convinced it was a date. Then I told them that my friend was gay and had a boyfriend who was going to be at my part later that night who they all met and their hopes and dreams were crushed. True story.
Anyway, back to business.
Yes, Ace is cute and funny isn't he? There is a story and past event behind the whole 'we need to talk about sex' and because Ace is hoping/expecting something to hopefully happen between Sabo and Macey. I think we all can't wait for the surprise so hopefully Sabo remembers the name of the Park where he is meant to take Macey and meet Ace…
Shit… I already forget the name of it myself… I need to go back and look at the name again.
Whitestardevil-
Thank you. Hopefully I can get on the roll again. and yes, this is so cute. BLACK is coming and we all love that pairing. Who says that Ada meets Marco in FFP? Then again, who says he doesn't?
I think Naomi will have a place in Marco's heart forever, she was kind of his first love after all.
Yes, you would have won your bet as Marco did purposely get up early just to answer the door. And yes, the people in the who were interrogating Sabo are a part of the stalk the 'date' squad. Especially Izo and Marco and Thatch.
And yes, Macey is completely clueless and has no idea that Sabo is totally smittened with her. At least, for now she's clueless.
Anyway, now with the story! I hope you all enjoy the chapter!
Are we dating or our families?
Chapter 4: The Date Part 2…
Macey couldn't help but chuckle at people looking at Macey and Sabo as they were crazy or something, especially with some many flowers. Macey smiled at Sabo- very happy. "I can't believe you remembered when I used to be everyone's valentine."
"We only finished school last year you know," Sabo blushed- as he played with the sleeve of his shirt. "and it's hard to forget when the one person who you know hates valentine's day, almost with passion, still decides to give everyone she sees as a friend and family, a flower and call herself their valentine so they don't feel bad about not having one…"
Macey laughed and smiled more. "That's true. Thank you Sabo."
Haruta squealed a little- getting Macey's attention, though she didn't look over at her Aunt. Macey was feeling annoyed right now, not at Sabo though, she was annoyed at her aunt. Macey hopes that Sabo hasn't noticed her aunt Haruta and uncle Namur. Because it was going to kind of embarrassing if he did. Then again, she knew Ann and Ava were here and was doing her best to ignore them, for Sabo. Macey knew that Sabo knew that his sisters were there and he was trying his hardest to ignore them and was probably hoping that Macey didn't know that they were there. So Macey was going to pretend that she had no idea that they were here, just for Sabo. he was just special and meant that much to her, she didn't want him to be embarrassed over something he couldn't control, like his sister.
"What we having guys?" Luna smiled.
"The Chef's Special Breakfast is fine with me," Macey smiled right back. "With orange juice. Sabo? Same for you too right? But with orange and passionfruit juice instead of just orange juice since you don't like it. Right?"
Sabo blinked a few times at Macey then smiled as he nodded his head in complete agreement with Macey. They both kind of eat a lot of food and the Chef's Special Breakfast was big, normally shared between two. But Macey and Sabo can kind of eat enough for three or more people just by themselves, let alone togehter. So he was fine with that. And he couldn't believe that Macey remembered that he didn't like plain orange juice, normally going with orange and passionfruit juice instead.
"I'm fine with that," Sabo nodded as Luna took the menus from them.
"How's Don?" Macey smiled and asked Luna as Sabo pulled out his phone and texted his two sisters quickly. Politely telling them to leave because they were making him really nervous. Of course, Sabo was expecting them to not listen to him. They never listen to him.
"He's good," Luna smiled as she stood there talking to the younger girl who would probably be one of Don's closest friends. "He's working till around five but then he has some assessment he has to be for his course, but we're going to do dinner and watch a movie together at home."
"Don't have parties to go to today as a mermaid?" Macey smiled.
"No, thank fucking god," Luna breathed with relief. "I think Nin has one and Tessa has two over the weekend. I don't have any planned for a little bit."
"Cool," Macey nodded. "So Max is going to bring the food out personality right?"
"As if anyone could stop him from doing it," Luna laughed. "Or would stop him. They'll have me, Tessa, Sanji and Zeff on their asses if they did."
"Who is going to kick who's ass?" a male voice behind Luna.
"Your girlfriend and family would kick anyone's asses if they tried to stop you from giving Macey and Sabo their food personality," Luna smiled over her shoulder as she just handed Max their order form. Since she knew it was him. "Shouldn't you be in the kitchen?"
Max's red hair was longer since the last time that Macey and Sabo had seen him, it was tied back in a small pony tail that seemed to be braided, Tessa probably did that. He had glasses over his brown eyes and instead of his usual red clothes- dark red jeans, a light red shirt, ruby red boots and a fire red hoodie- he was wearing a chef's outfit.
"I was," Max smiled as he put the paper in his pocket. "Then Tessa come in and said Macey and Sabo were here. So I thought I would come say hi while their food was cooking before Macey stormed the kitchen to come see me."
Macey out of her seat and hugged Max which had Sabo a little jealous, then again, Max did go overseas to live in France for four years while he studied to a chef. Only coming back for special occasions and holidays. How Tessa and Max were able to handle the long-distance relationship like that and for that long was amazing to say the least. Max was twenty-four and stood at a hundred and eighty-six centimetres.
"Hey Mace," Max smiled. "How are you?"
"I'm good!" Macey smiled right back as she let go of him. "How was France?"
"Brilliant," Max beamed- he really did have lots of fun living there and learning all about the food and culture. "I'm hoping to take Tessa there for our anniversary. Show her the places where I was taught and stuff. It will be great and the food is amazing over there! And I'm ready to come to your new place once it's finished being built to be Head Chef. It should be fun."
"And you're the only one I want as the Head of my Restaurant and kitchen there!" Macey grinned as she took her seat again. "You're sure your dad is cool with you leaving?" talking about his adoptive father Zeff. Since Baratie is a little family orientated.
"He's fine with it," Max laughed. His adoptive father was completely and utterly cool with it, even told Max he should take Sanji with him. "The old man even said he can't wait to get rid of me, said I should take Sanji to be my Sous Chef."
"I'm cool with Sanji joining," Macey told Max. "He can stay and join us for as long as he likes, I always have room for family." Since a lot of Macey's friends were like family to her, so if they got on really with their families, then their families were like a second to Macey as well.
"I've got to back to the kitchen," Max sighed as he got up. "I'll be back with your food, kay? So pay attention to Sabo Mace, you hear me?"
"Yes dad," Macey faked whined and teased Max a little. "Go. I expect a welcome home invitation soon and some kind of present."
Max couldn't help but laugh at Macey. She always knows what to say to make everyone laugh and smile, as well as be serious all at the same time.
"I'll talk to Tessa about it," Max told Macey then smiled at Sabo. "Have fun and good luck man."
Good luck? Why was Max wishing Sabo good luck? Macey didn't understand.
"Thanks dude, you too," Sabo smiled then decided to tease Max a little. "Because after that, you know we'll be waiting for engagement then wedding invitations, right?"
"Oh god not you too," Max groaned as he face palmed himself lightly. "Why does everyone keep bringing that up?"
"Because you two have been together for like eight years," Luna told Max. "Since you were both sixteen. And Tessa gets hit on all the time, so you better put a ring on her so others know she's your or someone might try to steal her from you."
Max blushed slightly then mumbled some choice and colourful things and words as he went back to the kitchen. Though they weren't sure what he was mumbling since they couldn't really hear it but they were sure it something about you guys are assholes, why are we even friends again? I should have stayed in France. or something along those lines at least anyway.
Macey gave Luna a blue 'sea flower' then gave her a red one to give to Tessa, which Luna thanked Macey for. Macey had a red 'sea flower' to give to Max when he come back later. 'Sea flowers' were their favourite flowers, a cross between locus, lily and rose.
Luna then left the table to go to some others customer's orders, leaving Sabo and Macey by themselves again. Well, as alone as a pair of people can be in a busy restaurant anyway. telling the two of them to have fun with their non-date date.
"Why do people keep this a non-date date?" Macey sighed. "It's not a date, we're just hanging out and spending the day together."
"I have no idea," Sabo answered honestly, but once again sounded a little disappointed. Why did he sound disappointed? Macey didn't know and she really wanted to ask, but she wasn't sure if she should or shouldn't… why would Sabo be disappointed?
Macey smiled as she picked up a beautiful Stiff Blue-eyed Grass (flower) and put it behind Sabo's ear, who was blushing like mad. Stiff Blue-eyed Grass were Sabo's favourite flower, with his mother favourite of hibiscus second. If Macey remembers right, stiff blue-eyed grass is not a grass but is actually a member of the iris flower family. it was a pretty blue flower.
"They're your favourite, right?" Macey smiled as she picked up a just as pretty and nice red/pink hibiscus next and put it in his shirt pocket. "There, that looks better. Now we look handsome and more like the gentleman I know and love." She wasn't laughing or making fun of Sabo, she meant it.
Macey then blushed slightly at her words as she got up suddenly. Shit! She said that last part out loud! Shit! She said… she said…
"I'm going to restroom," Macey said as quickly as she could and left Sabo sitting, half in shock, half in awe but fully embarrassed.
Did Macey just say… did she just say…? Did Macey call him handsome? Did she say…
"Smooth move big brother," Ann said right behind Sabo, breaking him from his shock.
"She called you handsome~" Ava teased in a sing-song voice. "She thinks you're a gentleman~ she said she knows you~ she said she loves you~"
"Shut up and go away Ava!" Sabo told his sister in a low voice. Why are his sisters here? Why did they come over? Does Ava have to tease him about this now?! "You too Ann! What the hell are you two doing here anyway!?"
"Ace asked me to keep an eye on Ava while she watched your date," Ann answered grabbed a hibiscus flower and putting it behind Ava's ear then does one for herself. "And just in case you needed advice or something with Macey. Though, from what I have seen, you seem to be doing well." Giving her older brother a happy and teasing smirk.
Oh god, why?!
"What are you two doing here?" Namur asked as he come over.
Seriously!? Not only is his family spying on them but Macey's family too!? Can this day get any worse?! Then again, Macey did say something about her family trying to get information from him so they could stalk them… but still, could this seriously get any worse?
Sabo shivered as he felt a death glare at him. Oh god… Marco was somewhere here, wasn't he…? Sabo bets that either Jozu, Izo, Whitebeard, Sasha, Kira or Ada are holding him back right now. Because Thatch would be too busy laughing or teasing Marco to stop or hold him from coming over and killing Sabo. oh god… Sabo is going to die!
"Making sure our big brother doesn't screw up, you?" Ava smiled and asked all innocently. Right now though, there was nothing innocent about her, she was just being nosy ad plain old evil.
"I thought while Haruta went to make sure that Macey was okay that I would keep an eye Sabo," Namur answered. "Then I saw you two over here and I thought I would join…" stares at one of the flowers on the table. That was Macey's favourite… "You should put the flower in Macey's hair and if she says something, just say your returning the favour."
Was Namur trying to help and was giving him actually, like, dating advice?
"So you want Macey and Sabo to get together too?" Ann smiled.
Oh god, can his sisters just go away! They are not helping what so ever!
"I personally would, yes," Namur nodded. "I like Sabo. He's a good kid and I don't think we have to worry about Macey because she'll be in good hands. Plus we already know him and his family so it's not we're having to get know complete and utter strangers and have to be on our best behaviour for them. you guys know what we're like and we know what you guys are like, so we're all in the same boat that way."
Ann and Ava squealed together and agreed with Namur while Sabo was just sitting there even more embarrassed and unable to believe his ears.
"Besides, we all know how dense Macey can be when it comes to romance," Namur added as he handed Sabo a phone. "All our numbers in there. If you need a hand with something, just text and we'll try to help the best we can. Now, I better go before Macey gets back and I suggest you girls do the same. Plus, I better make sure that Izo and Jozu are fine with Marco. Mama Bird is a little protective of his little chicky."
Macey splashed on water on her face, she had said that kind of before to her friends. 'now you look handsome, like the people/gentleman I know and love'. So why is this affecting her like this right now? Is she taking what the others are saying too much to heart? Is she maybe only realising that she might like Sabo more than she thought she did? Maybe both? Macey has always liked Sabo more than most of her friend, especially her male friends, but she never really thought of love or likes or crushes, she was always just busy thinking about and concreating on her future business and what she wanted to do.
"Macey? Are you okay?" Haruta said.
Macey jumped a little and looked at her aunt. "I'm fine," Macey said with her voice cracking a little. Shit, that did not sound like she was fine.
"Are you sure? Your face is red… are you blushing!?" Haruta asked squealing a little and with her hands to her mouth in excitement. "Your blushing!"
"I am not!" Macey said blushing even more. Oh god! She's never going to hear the end of this! "It's just warm! You know I go red easily when I get warm!" Macey hopes her aunt pays it. She isn't ready to admit she might be blushing because she might like Sabo!
"Oh, okay," Haruta said dropping the subject, for now. Macey can be dense when it comes to people liking her and romantic things. Probably because she has seen nearly all of the romance movies in the world and thinks and calls a lot of things, cheesy or cliché . And because Macey is too busy thinking and working out her future business FF, she just doesn't notice things that she doesn't seem to deem important. Like Sabo liking her more than friends. "You going to get back out there?"
Macey, takes a few deep breathes in and looks in the mirror. She needs to calm down still. "I will in a few moments."
"Okay," Haruta nods her head and leaves.
Deep breathes Macey, deep breathes.
Sabo couldn't help but smile when Macey come back from the restroom and the others had left him alone. Max should be here with the food soon.
"Are you okay Macey?" Sabo asked- with a worried look but smile at the same time. He was happy to see that she hadn't run away or something.
"I'm fine," Macey smiled back. "Sorry about that. I was feeling a little warm so I had to splash some water my face. But it's nothing to worry about it."
"Okay," Sabo nodded. deciding to not push it. if it was something that Sabo had to worry about Macey would tell, wouldn't she? She was fine, right?
"I'm hungry!" Macey whined stretching out.
Yep, Macey was fine.
Sabo looked at the flowers and picked up Macey's favourite. It was a very pretty white with a little blue/purple half petals with a yellow centre. A Glory-of-the-snow flower, it had been the flower that her mother had given her, which is why it was her favourite flower.
"I remember this being your favourite flower Macey," Sabo smiled as he held the flower.
"It is yes," Macey nodded and smiled very fondly. "Mum use to grow them and she always use to put in my hair. It was the last thing she did for me before she died. That's why they're favourite my flower. They were mum's and mine's flowers."
"It's a pretty flower," Sabo smiled.
"It is," Macey smiled looking at with a happy and fond smile.
"Well," Sabo smiled as he pushed some of Macey's hair out of the way then put the flower behind her ear. "A pretty flower only deserves to be with a pretty girl."
Macey blushed slightly, not sure how to feel other than she did have some slight butterflies in her stomach. But then once she realised what Sabo had said, she cracked up laughing. "Oh my god! That is such a cliché line! I'm sorry Sabo, but… bahahahahaha!"
Sabo wasn't hurt by Macey laughing, he was trying his hardest to not laugh at himself too. But he couldn't stop himself with Macey laughing over it. it was such a cliché and cheesy move, it wasn't funny… oh wait, yes it was. Why else were Macey and Sabo laughing about it?
"I know, I know," Sabo laughed with Macey and they could both feel a murderous glare at them. it seems that Macey's dad did not like the move nor did Sabo's mum seem to like the fact that Macey was laughing over it. Oh well, the two of them just ignored the death glares they could feel being stared at them. "It's cheesy and cliché. Sorry. I couldn't help myself. I thought of saying- well I'm just returning the favour, but thought that might a little cheesier and more cliché than saying that a pretty flower deserves a pretty a girl."
Macey wiped a tear from eye from laughing so much and smiled Sabo. "I think the pretty flower line was better."
"Me too," Sabo smiled right back.
Ava and Ann both couldn't help but squeal a little as they watched Sabo and Macey, okay, sure. Macey kind of ruined the mood with her laughing at Sabo with him trying to be romantic and sweet, but it couldn't have been more perfect when Sabo laughed with her over the cliché and cheesy line that he used. It was really sweet to see them two of them laughing and bonding over it. they were having a moment and it was so sweet!
Despite their mother death glaring Macey for laughing at Sabo's little sweet yet romantic jester and Macey's father death glaring Sabo for it.
Why were their parents getting involved in this? Ava told them that her and Ann had breakfast and that Rouge and Roger should take lunch. The two of them hoped that Macey didn't know that they know there. Either Ann or Ava nor their parents Rouge and Roger. Then again, from the way their mother is death glaring Macey for ruining Sabo's little romantic jester of him saying 'a pretty flower deserves to be with a pretty girl' with her laughing. The whole freaking world must know that Rouge is here. And they knew that Marco couldn't be too fast as they could feel the man's death glare at their older brother.
Man, he had to have a crush on a girl whose father is just scary as their mother, didn't he?
Marco wanted to skin Sabo alive, twice now. That was twice now that he pulled some kind of move on or had set up some kind of romantic mood with Macey. TWICE. And the two of them haven't even had breakfast yet! They're barely started their day and the boy had tried to be romantic with sweet little innocent but romantic jesters to his daughter, twice! Oh, the boy was so lucky that Izo and Jozu were holding him back right now.
Yes, Sabo was gentleman about it. it wasn't like he was doing something big or anything, but still! Marco can't stand (or sit), seeing someone trying his win over his daughter! He can't stand seeing someone flirt with her! Not when it is right in front of him! Nor can he stand seeing her flirt back, though, Marco has a feeling that Macey doesn't realise that they're flirting… but still! He can't stand or sit for this!
"Marco," Izo said in a warning tone. "I swear if I have to call Ada so she has to sit on you or something, I will not be impressed nor will she."
Jozu looked at his phone as he heard it beep and he had one hand holding onto Marco's shoulder and shirt in a seat.
"Pops is asking how they're going," Jozu told Izo, handing his cross-dressing brother his phone. "You text back. I'm not sure how they're going and if I let go of Marco, he'll go for Sabo."
"True," Izo agreed taking the phone and texting their father back. Telling that it seemed to be going well, other than Macey had ruined a romantic jester made by Sabo. But ruining little jester had kind of lead to the moment that the pair seem to having right now.
So, the date wasn't going too badly.
Macey wasn't sure what to say or what to do. They were having moment right now, weren't they? She couldn't help but smile and feel happy and she could tell that Sabo was in the same boat. They both kind of blushed slightly and neither said anything as Sabo had his hand on Macey's. They kind of wanted the moment to never end but kind of wanted it to end at the same time.
"Here's the food and drinks!" Max smiled as he put the food and Macey's and Sabo's drinks on the table but avoided getting any of the flowers.
Tessa and Luna both sighed and hit Max over the head with their notes books. The bloody idiot hasn't been paying any attention and had no idea that he just ruined the moment that Sabo and Macey were having damn it!
"Yes! Food! I'm starving!" Macey smiled moving her hand away from Sabo who sighed but kept a smile on his face. You do NOT want to get Macey and food, especially when she hungry. She was worse than Roger, Ace and Luffy combined. How is that possible? Sabo has no idea, but he has seen what happens to people dumb enough to get between Macey and food when she was hungry and it did not end for the people who got in the way. "Max! For you!" Macey smiled giving him a sea-flower.
"Thank you," Max smiled putting the flower in his shirt pocket since it was only going to get in the way in his hair while he was cooking. "I've got to go now. I'll come say good-bye when you're done. Kay?"
"Yep!" Macey smiled as she started eating, not really caring or worrying about table manners too much. She was with Sabo and he has seen her eat worse than this before and she has seen him eat worse than this too. They're seen each other their best and at their worse. They know each other just as well, if not better than they know themselves.
So how Macey seems to have no idea about Sabo's crush on her is bloodily amazing if you ask anyone and everyone. Don't ask how the hell she has no idea, because no-one is sure how answer that.
Macey gave Tessa, Max and Luna all big hugs as Sabo was holding onto the flowers. Tessa and Luna both Sabo a small hug and Max and Sabo fist bump each other. Sabo doing the fist bump with his hand that wasn't holding the flowers that they were giving to their friends, as well as others that would end up going to Macey's and Sabo's families as well. Since, well, there are more flowers here then what Sabo had order and organised for Macey to have.
Macey took the flowers from Sabo as they walked out of the door.
"Where to next?" Macey smiled and asked Sabo, probably the happiest he has ever seen her really. Other than when her dad married her step-mum then later on when they had kids and got new and younger siblings.
"Red's book store!" Sabo smiled as he grabbed her hand and lead the way. Not because Macey didn't know where it was, since she did. It was the only place where Macey would ever get her books, Sabo too. And their families as well. But because, well, it was his planned day so he kind of wanted to take the lead.
"Red, Kaitlyn, Don and Lavi it is then!" Macey smiled and agreed.
Macey just let Sabo hold her hand and lead the way because, why not? He did plan their day after all. So, he could lead the way.
Though, Macey couldn't help but look at Sabo's smiling and happy face then to his hand holding hers. She was getting that butterfly feeling again. she wasn't completely sure what the feeling was or what it was meant to be mean… and it's not like she hated it either, all it did was just make Macey feel, well, even happier but of a little nervous too.
So, her hand gripped his back and she couldn't help but smile and feel happy. Though she wasn't completely sure on why.
One moment, Don was going through and reorganising books because some asshole messed with the order of the books again. putting them in some random order, instead of in their alphabetic and oldest to newest order like they're meant to be in. Red could be picking about the way and order the books were in sometimes, not that it really bothered Don. The system was easy to remember but what really annoyed him was when others didn't respect that system and messed it up.
Lavi was in the back doing stock take and involutory and Kaitlyn was working the register. Though, why the anti-social one was working the register Don would never understand. Lavi or himself would be better on the register with Kaitlyn either redoing the books and making sure they are in order and fixing it if they're not. Or doing the stock take and involuntary. But then again, being on the register is helping Kaitlyn with her people skills…
But anyway, back to Don's point.
One moment he is reorganising and putting the books back in their right place and order and the next thing, he is on the ground, groaning. Something (actually someone, Macey- cough, cough) had tackled him down to the ground in a hard hug or tackle. God damn it, Don swears if this is Luna he is not going to impress. She knows he doesn't like it when she comes see him at work and… wait… it wouldn't be time for her to be finished yet, it's too early.
Then who the hell…?
Oh no, it was worse. It wasn't his girlfriend, it was his best friend. It was Mace. The one person who was worse at invading his personal space- be it at work or anywhere really than his girlfriend. It had to be Macey, didn't it?
God damn it! Sabo was meant to text Don to warn him when he was bringing Macey over so he would be ready for a Macey invading tackle hug of doom or Hug of Doom as Don calls it for short.
"Don!" Macey smiled as she pretty much hugged the air out of his lungs.
God… damn… it… he can't breathe!
"Macey, your killing Donate," Sabo pointed out, seeing that Don's face was actually turning blue and purple.
"Oh, my bad," Macey said letting go of Don who breathed and standing next to Sabo again. "Sorry Don."
Don just sighed. Macey never changes, he swears. She has been like this since they were kids, always almost killing him with hugs. And despite the three year age gap between them, Macey was his best friend. Especially for a girl, Sin was his best friend who was a guy. And the two were tied for best, best friend. And Sin is a year older than Don which makes him four years older than Macey. But the three of them get along like peas in a pod.
"No problems Mace," Don said as he got up and dusted himself off. Not like there was any dust or dirt, he just did it for the sake of doing it.
"Sea-flower for Don!" Macey smiled giving the flower who just took it without argument. There was no point in arguing with Macey, she always wins and she is always right.
"Thanks Mace," Dons smiled. "Give me three minutes to redo these books then I'll be right with you."
Don turned back to the books but Sabo and Macey were already doing them. damn these two and their ridiculous friendly and helpful and thoughtful natures. and damn they move fast.
Well, it will get done quicker with the three of them doing it. So, Don wasn't going to argue with them about it. Plus, they both know what Red is like with his book too. And of course, Don was not blind- he could some of Macey's uncles spying on her and Sabo and what looked like Ali and Amy, two of Sabo's sisters.
Why were they following Macey and Sabo around? They knew that their families were following them, right? Macey and Sabo, they knew they that their families were following them, right? Don would be very surprised if neither of them knew, so Don knew that Macey and Sabo had to know that their families were following them. it's not like they were really hiding really well, nor did they really try to disgust themselves. And Macey knows pretty much everything, so Don was betting that Macey and Sabo were ignoring their families…
Wait, why would their families be following them around in the first place…? Actually, only one thing come to Don's mind with both of their families, since they were both as overprotective as freaking fuck. It would have to be a date or something
Wait, is this… are Macey and Sabo on a date?!
Three and half hours later…
No-one could understand how Macey could have so much energy, it was like she was energiser bunny who never ran on empty. Every time they see her, she was running around or talking or laughing like there was no tomorrow. Even after times when she wouldn't sleep for days and normal people would have no energy, Macey had energy and it was kind hard to not have energy when she did. It was like Macey's energy contiguous.
Then again, Macey has also been known to randomly just fall asleep. Not from any kind of medical condition or anything, just like, boom- she used up all of her energy and now has no choice but to sleep and rest. Though, normally that happens more at night time then during the day.
"Thank you for the flowers," Kaitlyn smiled. She was always her friendliest when Macey was around. No-one was sure why or how, but it just happens. Kaitlyn is her friendliest with Macey nearby and around her.
Don wasn't sure what he was meant to be do with the flower other than maybe give it Luna later. But it was nice to see that Macey was still doing her 'I'm everyone's Valentine' thing. So that anyone who was single didn't feel left out or hate the day as much as Macey can. Though, it's not that Macey really hates Valentine's Day itself, just more the way that everyone makes a huge deal out of it and how communalised it has become.
"No problems!" Macey smiled right back.
"So how's your day been Mace?" Lavi asked with a smile.
Believe it or not, but all the work that they had to do for the day, other than just sell books, had been done. With Macey doing most of it. Sabo and the others tried to stopped Macey but once she had a freaking in that freaking head of hers, it was hard, next to impossible to talk her out of it.
So Macey had gone over the WHOLE store- making sure that the books were all in alphabetical order then in series order and then in order of oldest to newest, had done the storage and stock take, had helped several people find books they were looking for or had recommended books for them and still talk to her friends and find books that she brought herself. How Macey had the energy to do three people's in barely any time at all, was beyond Lavi, Kaitlyn, Don and Sabo. even Red was surprised when he come back from a meeting with one of the book publisher with the store was surprised that the work for the day was done and his office had been cleaned and organised.
"It's been great!" Macey smiled and no-one really knew what to say.
Sabo had only planned to stay at the book for an hour, two at the very most and yet, they're been for three hours and a half…
"What have you been doing Mace?" Red asked as he was drinking his coffee.
"Well, I got up early to do an assessment for my course," Macey answered drinking her hot chocolate that Red had brought her as Sabo was drinking his mocha, Kaitlyn drinking an iced chocolate, Lavi drinking an iced coffee and Don drinking a triple shot skinny no fat with two sugars latte. What? Don can't drink coffee or his latte without sugar, he likes his coffee strong and with milk and he couldn't stomach full cream milk. There was nothing weird about it. "and sent it to my teacher. Then Sabo picked me up. Can you believe that my family was trying to gang up on him and interrogate him for what he planned for our day together? I mean, come on. My family is so nosey, I swear."
Nosey was not the word that everyone else was thinking… try beyond ridiculously overprotective. Like, infinity plus one kind of protective. Sure, it is normal for families to be worried about people and want to protect them but not to the extreme lengths that Macey's, or Sabo's for that matter either, go too. It's fucking ridiculous.
Like seriously, Marco, Macey's dad has interrogated pretty much every single of Macey's male friends, acquaintances and associates. If any male that Macey knows who isn't family hasn't be grilled by Marco, then Don and the others would be very surprised.
"So they were interrogating Sabo about your date?" Lavi asked Macey.
"Yes," Macey sighed then frowned. "This isn't a date Lavi. We're just hanging out and spending the day together. Why does everyone keep calling this date?"
"Because it's what most normal people would call a date Macey," Don sighed. Macey may be one of the smartest people that Don knows and his best friend, who's a girl, but she is as dense as a fucking concrete pillar sometimes. Don swears, like how does Macey not know that Sabo has a fucking crush on her the fucking SIZE of the fucking GALAXY?
Seriously! Don doesn't care how smart someone is, how do they miss some fucking big and so fucking obverse!?
It's like the whole fucking freaking world and galaxy knows about Sabo's crush on Macey but her! The two of them contently flirting with each other! Don wishes they would just get together already! It's like they're been doing this dance of 'we're just friends' to 'we're more than friends' back to 'we're just friends' to 'we're more than friends' again, all the time! It was seriously getting old and annoying! They should just hook up and get married and everything like that already!
The whole world knew they were meant to be together and yet, neither of them seem to see it or admit it! Though Sabo would love for it to happen, but Macey, well, she's fucking problem. Did Don already say she's as dense as a fucking concrete pillar? Because she seriously she is! Just how dense and blind can one person be?! Fucking seriously!
"What's the rest of your day like?" Kaitlyn asked out of curiosity. "And since when wasn't this a date? I mean, you guys have been dating since, like forever right? So, this has to be a date."
It seems that Crystal isn't the only one who seems to think that Macey and Sabo have always been dating. It seems that Kaitlyn thinks it too.
"What?!" Macey bushed and shouted.
Wait… Don stared at Macey's face, she was blushing? Since when does Macey blush? Macey doesn't blush! Over anything! Heck! She fucking walked in on Jack and Blue doing it one day and didn't think or blink twice about it while making everyone else there, (especially poor Jack, how Blue was unfazed by it is still a mystery to this day, just like Macey) blush like fucking virgins! Oddly enough, Don and the others are pretty sure that was the first that Jack and Blue had ever done it. or at least, had gone all the way, so it was no wonder that Jack was blushing like a virgin, Macey had walked in on them as Blue was taking away Jack's virginity (or at least that's the theory and no-one really wanted to ask if it was true or not). But why the hell is she, why the hell Macey blushing now when she didn't blink or think twice and was completely unfazed by Blue was fucking topping and well, fucking, Jack?!
"You guys have been dating since forever, right?" Kaitlyn said, confused on why Macey had shouted. While Red was laughing his head off while Lavi was trying to hold in his laughter which wasn't really working and Don was sitting there in shock that Macey of people was BLUSHING with Sabo blushing like a virgin at the statement. "I mean, you always holding hands and going places together and being each other's dates with things since we were like twelve. Okay, since Sabo was twelve, Macey was twelve turning thirteen and Lavi and I were eleven but it's just easier to say twelve since Macey's birthday is later in the year than yours is Sabo and you two are the same age till then and you were in the same year at school for your whole lives, but that's not my point. My point is you guys always doing things together. I thought you guys have been dating this whole time, have you not been? I mean, you two are pretty much the same age, Macey's just like six and bit or seven months older or something. I mean, is there a reason why the two of you shouldn't be dating?"
No-one said anything. Red and Lavi were both too busy laughing their heads off as Don was trying to work out why in the hell Macey was BLUSHING. Sabo was blushing like the virgin everyone calls him and thinks him to be. Kaitlyn was just sitting there waiting for some of answer as Macey was blushing like virgin WHILE seeming to be thinking over what Kaitlyn had said.
Okay- so there is this theory is among a lot Sabo's, Ace's, Macey's and Luffy's friends right? That since Sabo has been in love with Macey since they were like ten, though he had no idea that what it was till they were like twelve, that the guy has never slept or had sex with anyone since the only one he wants is Macey. So a lot their friends are ninety-nine percent certain that Sabo is still virgin. And don't even get them started on Macey, they for a fact Macey is HUNDRED PERCENT a virgin, not that it has nothing to do with her insanely overprotective father and family…
Okay, maybe it has a little bit to do with that. But no, the main reason they know without doubt that Macey is a virgin is because she has never really dated, she had maybe dated like maybe twice in high school that didn't even last a week and has been too busy being catch up in her dream and planning her future business and stuff, that she has no time to worry or 'waste' as she has called it before. On that kind of thing. To Macey- dating and sex is something that she doesn't need to worry about because her dream of making this hotel, entertainment centre, arcade thing is more important, at least, it is to Macey.
Before anyone could actually say something, Sabo's phone went off. Which just lead him blushing again in embarrassment that his phone was ringing while they were all kind of waiting for Macey to answer Kaitlyn's question about 'is there a reason why the two of you shouldn't be dating?' Sabo especially wanted to hear her answer on it, because to him, there was no reason why they shouldn't be dating, other than maybe Macey not liking him like that?
Sabo looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Blue calling. Why was Blue calling him?
"Hey Blue, what's up?" Sabo asked.
"Hey Sabo," Blue's overly chirpy and happy voice said. Damn it, probably the one person who has more energy then Macey and Luffy put together. How the hell does the older guy have that energy anyway? and why? There is no need for anyone to have much energy as that. "I thought we were meeting for lunch? Where are you and Mace?"
Oh shit! The time!
"Shit, we lost track of time!" Sabo said getting up then grabbed Macey's hand so that they could leave and meet up with Blue and Jack for lunch. "We're leaving Red's bookstore now, be there in like ten minutes. Sorry about that Blue. See you ya soon." Since it was meant to be a surprise for Macey that Jack was going to be there, since he only got back yesterday/last night from his trip overseas volunteering as a volunteer doctor. "See ya guys!" Sabo shouted and waved to Red, Don, Kaitlyn and Lavi.
"See ya later guys!" Macey smiled and waved as she giggled sightly at Sabo taking control of the situation and her, kind of, for a moment. It was nice.
"Bye!" they all waved and said as Sabo pretty much dragged and kidnapped Macey away. Not that they minded.
"They are so getting together by the end of this," Kaitlyn couldn't help but grin and comment.
"They better," Don sighed. "I don't know how much longer I can handle Macey being as blind as a bat and as dense as a concreate pillar with poor Sabo's feeling. Seriously, her IQ is what, like a hundred-eighty-five or something ridiculous?"
"It is at least over a hundred and forty," Red nodded.
"But my point is, how can Macey be so fucking smart but have no idea that Sabo is crushing on her and has been since they pretty much met each other and have known each other?" Don asked.
"God only knows," Lavi sighed.
"I still think and say that Macey and Sabo will be together officially as a couple by the end of this 'it's not a date' date," Kaitlyn told her boss and two co-workers.
"Is that Ryu?" Don said getting distracted by a tall muscular guy who has sleek black hair that falls to the end of his neck with long bangs, has one cuff-like earring in one ear along the ear lobe and another earring cuff that looks like a scale on the top of the same ear, two red-cross tattoos on one arm (around the same spot as Ace's tattoo), silver eyes, and who likes to wear black and silver clothes, walking pass with a tall ruby red haired, purple eyed, wearing dark blue shorts and a low cut black shirt with huge freaking boobs, girl. "Who is she?"
Seriously, who is she? Don has no idea, though, at the same time. he feels like he has seen her before too...
"No way," Red said looking. "Is Ryu with a girl? But I thought he said he hated people?" and yet, despite that. He is Ace's and their friend.
Lavi pulled out his phone and took a picture of this very weird sight. Ryu was doing something with someone who none of them knew or at least someone who none of them recognised. And oddly enough, it looked like was a DATE and Ryu was SMILING. That guy doesn't just smile for anyone or anything! And that guy doesn't just date anyone either, but seriously, who was the ruby red hair girl? She seemed to be maybe the age same as Ryu, so like twenty-five? Maybe older or younger for all they know since they are guessing her age and since they don't actually know who she is.
"I'm so sending this to Ace and Sabo and Macey," Lavi said as he was sending them the pic. They so have to know about this. Macey would know or at least find out who was this ruby red hair chick is who is hanging out and maybe dating(?) Ryu.
Blue got Jack to wait in the restaurant, White Cross, as he waited outside the front of it for Macey and Sabo, after all, Macey seeing Jack is meant to be a surprise which is why he is waiting in the restaurant. But the moment they get in there, Macey will notice and know that Jack is there, after all, who else had black and white other than Jack?
White Cross, was run by Macey's Uncle Thatch and is a business that is under the Whitebeard Company.
Blue knew he would know the moment that Macey and Sabo got here. He didn't need to keep an eye out for them. why? Because this is Macey. She'll pretty much just jump and hug Blue before he sees her coming or realises or knows what is happening and the only warning will most likely Macey yelling his name at the top of her lungs but he won't know where she is coming from till she literally almost tackles him to the ground and…
"BLUE!" Macey's voice shouted.
Speak of the devil… the wind left Blue as Macey jumped and hugged him from the side. Almost knocking him onto the ground. Damn little energiser bunny and her weird act of appearing out of no way. Seriously, how does one miss the one hundred and eighty centimetres tall (so close enough to six foot tall) girl running and jumping and going to tackle and hug you? How does one miss that? Seriously, someone tell Blue how you miss one of the tallest girls you know, other than Tessa, running and jumping and tackling you for a hug? How the hell do you or anyone miss that?
Not like Blue can really talk, he himself is a freaking energiser bunny. Jack and the others are always complaining that Blue has too energy, even more so than Macey and Luffy put together. But how is that possible? Blue is sure that they're overreacting. There is no way in hell that he has more energy than Macey and Luffy put together, though, the three of them together doing something, anything. Like running around or playing a game of some kind, the three of them end up tucking each other out.
"Hey Mace!" Blue laughed on the ground with Macey hugging him and half on top on him. "Nice dress."
"Nice suit ass," Macey grinned.
"Hey," Blue laughed as he lightly pushed her off him and got up as Sabo was walking over shaking his head and muttering something about 'why does she always this?' or something like that. "I can dress up and look good if I want to. I am a professional you know. Nice clothes Sabo, Ace's pick?"
"Yep, hey Blue," Sabo smiled as he helped Macey up and Blue dusted himself off.
"Professional what? Professional asshole?" Macey jokily teased Blue.
In all truth, Blue was a lawyer and pretty much always wears a suit after he has worked or has been working as one. When not working, he's normally wearing what the hell he wants that has nothing to do with suits, unless he and Jack are going out. Then he is meant wear something nice so he normally does.
"I bet your missing Jack," Macey smiled as she hugged him again and Blue only just noticed that Sabo was carrying flowers. "When does he get back from his trip again?"
"God only knows," Blue said pretending to be upset and acting like Jack was still overseas and not just in the restaurant waiting for them. "Those for me? You shouldn't have!"
Macey lightly hit Blue and laughed as he only took a single flower, a red rose that he put in his suit pocket. "No! they're for everyone we see together today! Sabo's taking me to see all of my friends! well, at least as many as he can take me to see today anyway!"
Blue couldn't help but smile at how happy Macey seemed to be. Macey always seems to be happiest when she is with Sabo or when she talks to about her friends. She's then the next happiest when she is with her friends then her family. After that, well, who cares?
"I'm glad to hear that you're having fun with your day," Blue smiled. Knowing better than to call it a date. Does Blue look like he wants a broken nose? "Well, let's go into the restaurant. There's someone in there who can't wait to see you Macey."
Someone in the resultant that can't wait to see her….?
"I swear if Uncle Thatch tries to make a show out of this I am going to kill him! I saw him this morning before I left with Sabo!" Macey complained, thinking it was her Uncle Thatch who was waiting for her.
"It's not Thatch," Blue told her as they entered the restaurant and all of her Uncle's employees were saying hi to her and she said hi back to them.
Not Thatch? Who else would it be? She's seen Crystal, Britta, Sora, Seth, Red, Don, Luna, Max, Tessa, Kaitlyn and Lavi already. She's sure it's not Sin or Jax or Jay, as they would be working. Ryu isn't an a social person. Kurai was working- oh, Macey wonders if they'll go to where Kurai works later?
What about Marc? They're going to go to the karaoke bar where he works right? Macey loves karaoke! She'll see Luffy and Ace and the other D. Gol siblings later tonight most likely and if not, then she'll give Sabo flowers to give to them. and all of Luffy's friends will be at his place since they always do a Valentine's Day Movie Night together so Macey will give Sabo flowers to give them too if she doesn't see them.
Ralph is Ralph, god only knows what the man is doing. Tima was away with his bird thing, Macey thinks. Car would be working, if not, then he and her Aunt Melody would be doing something together. So Macey will probably see them tomorrow so she will give them their flowers then. She already left the flowers that she wanted to give to her family in the car.
Um… Conner was away with soccer training camp, Rosa was…. Sabo can take care of Rosa, she's his cousin. Who is Macey forgetting? She knows she is forgetting people…
"Finally! I was wondering what was taking you guys so long!" a familiar voice and black and white hair person said.
Macey ran over and tackled the person into the table. Poor said person and table, they really should have seen that coming but didn't. This is Macey after all. What else was she going to do?
"JACK! YOUR BACK!"
and now i am going to hide because everyone is going to kill me for ending the chapter with Macey shouting JACK! and tackling him into the table. there will be actual BLACK moment next chapter, i swear! *hiding* i just got up to 8,900 plus odd words and went, fuck it. that's how long the chapter is going be and that's how the chapter is going to end because i can't write anymore without feeling like i am going to die or go overboard with some kind of ridiculous word count.

depending on how the next chapter goes, the date might end up being 4 parts not 3. now, i will ask you guys to remember some names from this chapter and the previous chapters as i have left some big easter eggs on new characters! XD!
anyway, till next chapter everyone!
P.S. this is one of the longest chapters for any story i have written. not the longest, but one of them.
