REVIEWS

NamikazeMia: Thank you for reviewing and the nice compliment!

Guest: Well, it's been six years since they haven't seen each other. (How did you know that they're the same person?!) If you haven't met someone after a very long period of time, would you still be able to remember how they look like? I don't think I will. Besides, Ace changed his surname from Gol to Portgas in this fic. :3 So, no one And thank you for your review!

RantyOtaku: I'm glad you like it. c: Thank you for reviewing!

scratchart123: Hmm… I'm not sure myself. I might have them in the story or not. Depends on what I want for the story. Read on to find out~ (: Thank you for reviewing!

StrawberryGirlKairi: I'm sorry you didn't like it… ;A; But if they knew each other from the start, then the story wouldn't be much of a story… Anyways, thanks for reviewing!

Luffy-chi: Luffy? OAO jkjk xD Lol. Yes ma'am! I'll continue. :3 It's just that this year, I'm gonna have my national exams so I'm not gonna have that much time writing my fics. :\ And I've ta have the mood and inspiration~ It doesn't help that I've tons of homework too… So yea… :I

Those that reviewed, asking for this chapter: Like what I said above ^, I'm gonna have my national exams this year, lots of homework and such so I don't have much time to write… Please understand where I'm coming from. : Plus AU fics are more difficult to come up with inspirations…

PS. This story MIGHT be short. Sorry to those who really like it very much .

A/N: I… I don't know what to say! I'm so happy about the support that you guys are giving me! ;u; This new story of mine seems to get more response than my first one. Kinda disappointed about it but at the same time excited. Does this mean that people actually prefer AU fics than 'teen drops into OP' fics? Ah, I don't really care though, so long as people enjoy the stuff I write. ^w^ By the way, I edited the first chapter. Please go read it again if you have yet to. (: Anyways, onward with the story~! R&R~!

Little Lucy went back home one day with a very emotionless face. Her adoptive sisters, Robin, age 12, and Nami, age 8, became worried for her. She was usually up and about so why was she not hyperactive today? Did something happen? They were curious and wanted to find out. They gave knowing glances and nods to each other before approaching their younger sister. But before they were able to do anything, Lucy had grabbed their arms and dragged them to her room before closing the door and walking towards the far end of the room. Their brothers had no idea what is going, though curious, they didn't felt like being too concerned about it. It could be that Lucy just wanted a girl's talk. Little did they know, Lucy started wailing, tears flowing non-stop.

"H-h-he… He's leaving! He's going to move away! Today was the last day!"

The two older sisters understood what their little sister was trying to say. Just a few months ago, their sister had come home announcing that she made a new friend and was very happy. Before long, they had liked each other. But them still being young, had not known that. Now, he had left and Lucy was very broken-hearted. Of course she hadn't know what she was feeling. All she knew, was that her heart was breaking apart. It had felt too pain. The three sisters gathered for a group hug. The two olders one comforting the youngest, who was still sobbing. They could feel their shirts get wet but hadn't cared a single bit about it. It was for their little sister. They would do everything for her. They couldn't bear to see her so sad. Soon, the sobbing had stopped. Lucy was now sleeping in their arms, tears still visible on her cheeks and was drying up, causing her cheek to become sticky. A few minutes later, she woke up and started laughing.

"Robin-nee? Nami-nee? What are you doing here, hugging me like this? A group hug? I love hugs! Thank you! Why is my cheek sticky? I'll go clean up now!"

Lucy left the room, leaving the two older females speechless. Lucy had forgotten. Her memories were erased. Was it that painful that she had temporary forgotten about it? They wouldn't want to remind her and cause her to cry again.

LUFFY'S POV

Yosh! Today's a new day of school~ Wait, why am I excited about this? Oh right, I'm going to see my friends at school again. I'll be seeing my siblings after such a long time too! I missed them after mum and dad wanted us to live on our own… Said that it was so that we wouldn't be too dependent on each other.

"Luffy!"

"Ussop-nii!"

"Yo! Have you seen the others yet? I missed you guys."

"Nope and me too!"

"Miss us?"

"Yep. Wait, Robin-nee~ I missed you!" I said as I glomped her.

"You've gotten heavier ne? Watch your diet or you'll lose your job if you aren't too careful. Fufufufu."

"Alright! I'll take that in mind~"

"-What did you say marimo?!"

"I said aho love cook!"

"Sigh… can't you guys stop quarrelling for once?"

"Hai Nami-swan~!"

"Tch."

"Don't you dare 'tch' her! Apologise!"

"Like hell I will."

"Ow! Same as always I see. Suuuuuuuuuper noisy."

"Hehe. They're always fighting."

"Yohohoho! Yep!"

"Guys! I missed all of you so much~~" I said as I reached for everyone, giving them a hug.

"Luffy! You're still the same too! Stop giving the guys a hug. It's fine if you hug girls. Not guys, unless you like them very much."

"But I like Zoro-nii and Sanji-nii." Not quite sure what Nami-nee was trying to say. Why wouldn't I like my brothers? And for some reason, their faces had gone red. Are they having a fever?

"I didn't mean that like! I was trying to say that you can only hug the guy that you want to live forever with, marry and everything."

"Oh~"

-Meanwhile…-

ACE'S POV

She so did not do this to me! I'm going to be late for school! Why didn't she wake me up even though we stay in the same house and in the same room too! I'm going to have to have 'a talk' with her later. Right now, I'm going to be late!

LUFFY'S POV

"Nami-nee~ Is your first period the same one as mine? I don't want to be alone already on the first period."

"Sorry, not the same. Why don't you ask Zoro if he's going to be in the same class?"

"Zoro-nii~!" I ran towards him and jumped onto his back before he had time to turn around.

"Luffy!" His face got red again. Does he really not have a fever? Anyways, "W-w-what do you want?"

"I want to ask you if you're going to be in the same class as me for the first period~"

"O-o-oh… Mine's physics…"

"Yay~! It's the same! Let's go right now~"

"A-alright… Before that, please get off of me."

"Ooops~ Sorry! Shishishishi!" and we sped off to our class, actually, it was me dragging him, what a lazy brother I have!

ACE'S POV

"I'm so sorry that I'm late!" I bowed when I reached my class. I was still panting. No response.

"Yo, Ace!"

Eh? Sabo? I looked up to see Sabo right in front of me.

"Wow! We're actually in the same class. This is so cool~ Oh and the teacher has yet to arrive yet. Come sit with me."

"Oh… alright."

Before long, I found myself already complaining to him about my new landlord.

"Sounds really… I don't have the word for that. Haha! Good luck to you and your landlord! Oh, can I visit someday? I want to see how she is for myself."

"Sure. Let me ask her first. Who knows if she'll get cranky if I've someone over."

LUFFY'S POV

"Zoro-nii! Zoro-nii! Wake up! The teacher is calling you!"

"Huh? Oh… Erm, yes?"

"Please stop sleeping and pay attention if you want to get good grades."

"Oh, I'm sorry."

"Zoro-nii got scolded on the first day of school. Haha!"

"D-d-don't tell Sanji! It'll be so embarrassing…"

"Ok! I won't tell if you treat me ice cream."

"What? Sigh… Ok."

"Yay~! You're the best!"

ACE'S POV

"Hi! My name's Marco, yoi. Mind if I join you two? The others are boring me, yoi. You two seems interesting."

"Sure. So, when exactly is the teacher going to arrive? It's been like 30 minutes already."

"Ow! I'm suuuuuuuuuuuuuuper sorry that I'm suuuuuuuuuuuuper late! I got suuuuuuuuuuuper distracted!"

"Don't sweat it. Want to join us?"

"Ow! Suuuuuuuuper thank you. Where's the teacher?"

"He or she has yet to arrive, yoi."

"Suuuuuuuuuper ok."
