(Friday morning; normal POV)

"Hey Nami, do you think Luffy'll come to school today?" Usopp asked, he was starting to worry

"I guess so, but I wonder what'll they do" Nami answer, and Sanji Joined the conversation pretty quick

"Nami-swan~ I'm sure he'll come, why wasn't he coming anyway?"

"I'm sure Luffy'll tell you if you ask" Nami said, from somewhere they could see Zoro arriving at school in a surprising good mood

"Oi marimo, what happened to you?" Sanji wanted to start a fight so Zoro would get angry

"Good things happened, yesterday was a great day" he answer instead of what everyone else expected, and stayed right at the entrance of the school

"Those idiots" Nami sigh "What are you two going to do?"

"Well we are-" he was cut off by Luffy who just arrived as well as Vivi

"Zoro!" Luffy shouted and jumped over him as she would normally do

"I'm surprise he didn't get tired of it yet" Usopp commented

"Hi, everyone" grated Vivi

"Zoro, Shanks wants to meet you, are you free today for dinner?" Zoro pretended to think for a moment and then he nodded "should I tell them?"

"Which part?" he asked smiling a little with Luffy still over him

"Silly Zoro, one of those parts is gonna be public, it's obvious that's the other half" Luffy stated and no one, except Nami, seemed to understand

"That's your choice, but I would prefer you not telling the love-cook" He said half truly half joking

"I'll tell them" Luffy said as Zoro nodded

"Just what are you talking about?" asked Usopp a little confuse by all this

"Well, I'm sorry for lying" Luffy started "I'm not a boy" she said as everyone looked more confuse than before "I'm a girl" and now they were shock

"I knew I wasn't wrong! It couldn't be possible that I mistook a boy by a girl!" Sanji exclaimed and Luffy lough

"So, you're a girl" Usopp repeated "what's your name?"

"She has the same name" Nami spoke "in reality she's exactly as she acted since you met her but now you know she's a girl"

"Nami, you knew?" Vivi asked astonished

"Of course, she's a childhood friend after all, I told you, she only hided her true gender"

"In that case" Sanji started "Marimo! Put her down immediately!"

"What? I don't wanna go down, for the rest of the school I'm a boy, so don't act wired around me please"

"As you wish my dear"

"Cut it dart brow" Zoro said, he hates Sanji, but he was more than just a little angry over the attitude Sanji had now he knows Luffy's a girl, like he's kinda jealous

"What are you now, her overprotective brother?" Sanji asked really wanting to annoy Zoro

"I already have two of that, he's my overprotective boyfriend"

"You can't know if I'm overprotective, yet"

"Yeah, I can"

"Bastard! Now that you know Luffy's a girl you what her as your girlfriend and…"

"Actually I confess before knowing it" Zoro said "and I'm probably going to get kill when her brothers know this, so don't bother me"

"You confessed before knowing?" Usopp asked "isn't that a little… wired?"

"No…" Said Luffy "anyway guys, play along and pretend I'm a boy" she said with a wide smile

"Yes, of course, we are your friends after all" said Vivi being as she usually is

"I have a question" started Sanji "why do you pretend to be a boy?"

"She's plain idiot" Said Nami, and everyone looked confused, even if they knew that was also true

"A mistake…" said Luffy still over Zoro who didn't actually mind

"Don't try to understand" said Nami and the rest dropped the subject

The day went by pretty much normal with Sanji and Zoro arguing and fighting, Luffy being extremely clinging to Zoro and both of them playing around. But during a break Coby, a pink-hair boy that was a friend of Luffy's, stopped her and Zoro.

"s-sorry Luffy but, can I speck with you" he asked a little afraid of Zoro

"yeah, sure!" Luffy exclaimed and before going after Coby she kissed Zoro on the check leaving him with an almost unperceptive smile "so? What did ya' wanna say?"

"Eh… what… no, no, how… that's not either… eh…" Coby didn't know how to make his question without being disrespectful

"Don't worry, just say what you gotta say!" Luffy reassure him

"What is your relationship with Roronoa?"

"With Zoro? He's my boyfriend!"

"Re-really!?" Coby was shock, to say the least "but…how?"

"He confessed, I didn't know what to say so I didn't came to school for almost all the week, he came to Shanks' home and I just couldn't reject him 'cause I like him a lot" Luffy explain, or at least she tried

"If you say so, but aren't you afraid of…" he stopped mid-sentence and looked at Luffy "just forget what I was going to say"

"Okay, if you don't mind, I'll go back with Zoro"

"Yes, ah, right, since when?"

"Isn't it obvious from my explanation? Since yesterday" She said and then went back with Zoro before clases started

(Luffy's POV; after classes finished)

"Zoro! Over here! Come, come!" I called him; I was very excited he was going to meet Shanks!

"I'm going, wait a second" He said but I was not up for waiting so I ran to him and grabbed his arm, then I started running to Shanks' house "okay, I get it, you can't wait" he smiled and run beside me holding my hand.

After some minutes we reach the house, now that I think about it, Shanks said to bring him for dinner, oh whatever.

"Yeah, okay, calm down before she arrives" I heard shanks through the door, was he fighting with Makino?

"DON'T TELL ME TO CALM DOWN! SHE'S STAYING HERE WITHOUT OUR PERMITION!" shit! It's Ace! What is he doing here?

"Zoro… hide somewhere until he's gone" he looked lost "my brother, or brother, or family in general, I don't know, is here and any of them will kill you if they find out about us, and I'm not that good at hiding things and Shanks not good either" I explained as quiet as I could so they wouldn't hear me from the inside

"But they'll have to know sooner or later; wouldn't it be better if we tell them now?" And I'm the stupid one

"no, because if in there is all my family this is going to turn bad, if I knew it's only Ace I would think about it" he looked a little hurt "don't look at me like that, I'm doing this because I don't want you to die or get seriously hurt!" he sighed and smiled at me "go and hide! If it's only Ace I'll call you, okay?"

"okay, but don't forget about me" he said before hiding somewhere I don't know, and it's better this way I don't want to, if it end up like that, telling them where he is.

I could hear Ace clearly also Shanks voice, it seemed like my grandfather was also in the house. Ugh, I'll see what I do after I come in. I opened the door abruptly so everyone would shut up.

"Sorry to interrupt!" I shouted while entering the house "I could hear you from outside, would you lower your voices" as if I was any quitter

"Luffy!" Ace came directly to me "why did you run away? Why did you come here without telling anyone? What were you thinking!?"God, he can be so nosy some times, but he's a great brother

"Ace, calm down a bit, she's fine and seems happy" Sabo interfered

"Who the hell cares if she's happy!? She went to that school even if I said she wouldn't!" my kind-as-always grandpa shouted and almost hit me

"Don't you dare hit my daughter!" and there he goes acting like a good dad "even if she did what she shouldn't you don't have to hit her!" he then turn toward me "anyway, why didn't you tell anyone! I would let you go to that school!" he wouldn't

"See? That's why she's so irresponsible, you spoil her all the time!" again my sweet grandpa, aren't grandparents spouse to spoil their grandchildren more than the parents?

"Now, stop arguing about that! I thought she was taken by some weirdo and who knows what could had happened to her" right Ace, I'm that weak

"But she's okay, won't you let her stay here and…" Shanks and Makino where trying to convince them for the sake of my relationship, I guess.

"NO WAY!" they all shouted at the same time

"Hey! Now that I think about it, you all were pretty slow, I had been going to that school for two months already, and it has been the same time since I live here and you just appeared today!" yeah, I just figured that out

"Well… we have been searching and…" My father tried to explain it somehow

"Even though, it was really obvious I would be here" they can't scape of this, wait, what have we been discussing?

"That's not the point Luffy! You'll came with us and get back to your old school" Ace stated, as if I would say yes so easily

"I won't" I said, I don't want to, if I do that I won't be able to see Zoro he'll get lose! And I won't get to see all my friends as much as I want!

"It's not as we will get her to agree" said Sabo who really understood the situation, do I tell them about Zoro or not?

"Shanks, what do you think?" I asked him and he looked confused

"What do I think about what?" the four of them turn to us

"Do I tell them or not?"

"Tell us what?" Ace asked from behind but, I ignored him

"Don't you have to ask that to another someone?"

"yes, but that someone said it's okay, and the sooner the better, But I'm afraid, it's dangerous" I explained and Shanks nod

"You are right, hey Makino, what do you think?" he asked her

"I think now would be a good moment if you don't give too much details" she said and I looked at her, does she really think I can hide something?

"Do you really believe she can?" Thanks Shanks and your sincerity

"Well, I don't believe they'll kill him… maybe" ah, whatever, they are going to know anyway, right?

"Okay, I've decide, wait a second!" I shouted and run out of the house, now where can he be hidden? "Zoro~ where are you~!?" I asked and he came out of nowhere, how does he do that?

"What happened?" he asked and looked at me

"They're gonna know" I said happily "but I recommend you to stay behind me or else you'll get seriously hurt, probably" as if I would let them hurt him anyway. We both entered the house and all of them looked seriously confuse, well obviously Shanks and Makino didn't. Shanks was the first one to talk

"I see" he looked carefully at Zoro and then said "he seems to be a good person, s I just got one question" he stayed silent some seconds to add tension and then "is your hair natural?" I just couldn't stop myself from laughing; I just knew he would as something like that! "Don't laugh Luffy, that's rude, by the way I'm Shanks, and she's my wife Makino" he said with a smiled and well as Makino did and she waved her hand

"Er, I'm Zoro, and yes my hair is natural" Shanks was astonished

"Really? How amusing" he said

"Who's he Luffy?" Sabo was the first one to ask

"Well he goes to the same school I go, I year older though; we are really, really, really good friends and…" I paused as I grabbed his arm with both of mine "he's my boyfriend" the look on their face was way too scary.
