As soon as Luffy was dropped off at home by Nami and her strange friend with the pink hair, he decided to confront Usopp.
Heck, he already told Nami about everything. That's right, everything. Ace and Luffy's first kiss on the couch not that long ago, the car incident after the fight, and lastly the party although he left out the whacking Ace over the head part….
Nami just sat there before taking a sip of coffee before nodding. Then she smiled brightly again saying that it all made sense now, as she could tell there was something up. Luffy then begged her and Perona not to tell a single soul. Of course they agreed but the orange haired girl said that if Usopp didn't forgive him then she would tell.
That...UGH!
The girl could be a right bitch sometimes.
So here he was now, sitting alone at home on his computer ready to chat to Usopp online. The reason for this was that the boy didn't really want to go out alone again. Also his Gramps was not home yet… crazy old coot. Luffy beamed when it showed that Usopp was online so he sent a chat request that was accepted. So preparing to cry his heart out Luffy pressed open.
A/N Another Chat texty thing coming up guys :3
Luffy: Uhh, hey Usopp hows it goin?
Usopp: Nothing, just sitting here.
Luffy: Thats good, is your parents home yet?
Usopp: Not until later.
Luffy: I see anyway watch any goo-
Usopp: Sorry what did you need me for again?
Luffy: Oh… I wanted to just apologize thats all, and I'm really sorry for not showing up.
Usopp: Its okay its not like no one came, Zoro and Sanji arrived so it was still all good.
Luffy: Maybe we could hang out again?
Usopp: No thanks.
Luffy: Oh okay, Ill see you in school Monday?
Usopp: Yeah sure.
Luffy: Usopp I really am sorry I know I promised but a lot of things came up unexpectedly
Usopp: You could have called or text to let me know though?
Luffy: Uhh..My phone died and the charger broke?
Usopp: Sure
Luffy: Want to hang out tomorrow, Ill take you to the arcade?
Usopp: Ill think about it okay?
Luffy: Okay buddy, Ill call you later?
Usopp: I thought your charger broke?
Luffy: I mean on my Grandpa's phone?
Usopp: Alright. see ya.
Luffy: Bye, see you la-
Before Luffy could finish speaking Usopp closed the chat.
In a way, Luffy was glad he spoke to Usopp, thank god. He felt a little better too, now the Ace problem….
Then suddenly a huge bang came from down the stairs that made the boy flinch violently. Could it be…?
"Luffy why is this house not cleaned!" Garps loud booming voice echoed all over the house. Tch, of course the old man was back, "Coming gramps!"
…
Marco and Thatch walked into the private room that Aces parents ordered for their son.
Ace was in the hospital.
The doctors said that the blow to the skull caused head trauma and so he was in a coma for the time being while the healed.
It was scary stuff and Marco was shaking by the time the ambulance arrived at his friends home. Marco said that it was too horrible, blood everywhere and that Aces body was so limp he thought he was dead. That was something none of them wanted to mention. When the two friends walked into the room they were almost blinded by the whiteness of the it. Everything was so clean and it smelled like hand sanitizer.
In the room there was a large window that showed the city, a door in the corner was a bathroom, drawers of medical equipment and a white bed that was occupied. Portgas lay in the bed out cold. There was an oxygen mask over his face, a bandage wrapped around his head, and an IV drip in the back of his hand as well as a heart monitor. It pained them to see their best friend like this… Marco watched over Ace in silence, with a blank but dark expression on his face.
"You know who did this right?"
He took Thatch by surprise, turning his head he got up of the visitor chair and walked over the bed. "Who, I thought he just fell because he was drunk?"
"That kid Luffy and hes not getting away with it you know"

Luffy was feeling great! He and Usopp agreed to go to the arcade together in town, well after much much talking to and puppy dog eyes the long nosed teen finally agreed but he was still off about it.
So here they were getting prizes, having a laugh and what not. "Luffy I need coins, could you go get me some more please?" Usopp asked handing him a bill happily as he worked on winning something.
The teen nodded happily before turning to walk to the machine that gave out change. For the first time in weeks, Luffy felt better. The only thing playing on his mind was-
"Oi Luffy" Came a familiar voice, so cold and dark that it made the teen shudder, his legs told him to run but his head told him to stay calm.
Maybe Marco just wanted to-
WHACK
Something caught the back of his head then darkness, the last thing he felt before blacking out was being lifted up.
~Baka~
