NOT the last chapter. You can read it in my A/N at the end… I hope you will like it. I have the idea it's quite rushed… Please, no flames… It will ruin my psycho-emotional development
I seriously almost have no time to write… And I thought I would have time enough :(

"Pencils down! Exam is over!" yelled the announcer. Everyone cheered and sighed happily. Another exam which went well… Speaking of exams… This was the last one. The Mugiwara crew stood up and they walked to the door, exiting the room. The others also left and they were talking with each other about the exam.
"The last exam! We are done!" cheered Luffy happily "I never thought I would be this happy!"
"Agreed." Said Usopp, Zoro and Sanji with a happy sigh. Luffy snickered and yawned after. He studied the whole night.
"My butt hurts…" said Franky depressed "Stupid chairs."
Everyone nodded in agreement, rubbing their butts in unison.
Vivi frowned in confusion. "When is Shanks and Makino's wedding?" she asked.
"After our graduation." said Kaya with a smile. She already imagined Makino in a white wedding dress.
"And when is Luffy going to leave?" Zoro asked, looking at Luffy's back and cocking an eyebrow.
Luffy thought and he was counting softly. "The day after Shanks' and Makino's wedding." He said, finally knowing what day it was. Nami frowned and she looked at the ground. She grabbed his hand and entwined their fingers. Luffy smiled and turned to the others, his smile now turning into a grin. "Why aren't we going to Makino to celebrate the last exam?"
Everyone nodded and cheered. The whole group walked over the street, laughing as they did. Nami and Luffy only stayed quiet. The silence really was awkward, but they didn't really had something to talk about. They entered the bar and Makino already prepared the glasses with beer. They cheered and partied, though Nami and Luffy still didn't say much.
The crew understood, but the couple never knew the crew organised something for the two quiet ones… Which was going to stay a surprise after the wedding…
"Where is Luffy?" asked Ace as he entered the bar. He thought he would see his little brother now, but he only saw Makino. Makino smiled while she cleaned a glass. She put the glass down, poured some juice in it and she looked at Ace later.
"He's at a theme park with Nami. Some alone time before he is going to leave." She said. She turned her back to him and she cleaned the shelves. Ace nipped from the juice and he slightly frowned as soon as he heard something.
He sat up straighter when he realised what it was exactly "Makino…" he murmured.
"I'm going to miss him…" she said with a little sob. Ace frowned and he stood up, reaching for her shoulder. He pulled her towards him and pulled her in a hug, whispering some sweet comforting words.
"I will miss him too, mom…"
"AWESOME!" yelled Luffy. Nami laughed when she saw what he won. It was a huge white stuffed polar bear. "Look Nami! Look, look!"
"I see it, cutie! Don't yell too loud." She laughed, giving a little punch against his shoulder.
Luffy laughed and looked at it. "I will call him Bepo!" Luffy exclaimed.
"Why Bepo!" laughed Nami "I never heard that name before!"
"I like Bepo! Bepo is a nice name!" Nami laughed and she hugged Luffy. Luffy laughed too, trying to hold his teddy bear really well. They both walked around and they tried some things like a new rollercoaster or a new water slide. Last but not least, they went into the Ferris wheel.
They looked at the view and didn't say anything. Nami looked at her boyfriend and her smile widened. She went closer to him and she put her head on his shoulder, closing her eyes. Luffy smiled and put his head on her head. Nami now frowned sad with still her eyes closed.
Luffy was going to be her ex-boyfriend soon… They already discussed about breaking up if Luffy was going to leave. They didn't want a long distance relationship and they wanted to go on with their lives.
"Remember we went into a Ferris wheel for our second date?" she asked. Nami opened her eyes when she felt water dripping on her cheek. "Luffy…?" she whispered.
Luffy snickered softly "Sorry, it's raining."
"Inside…"
"Yup!"
"Ok…"
Both were quiet again but Luffy snickered softly. "Mystery rain." Nami softly giggled and she grabbed his hand, enjoying this cosy moment.
Luffy opened the door slowly and sneaky. It turned out later than he thought it would be. Well, he did stay back at Nami's house though… Luffy closed the door, but a bit faster, making the bell rung. Luffy gritted his teeth. He hoped nobody was awake now… Luffy gasped when someone ran downstairs in rapid speed. Ace slammed the door open and Luffy yelped in surprise. Luffy yelped harder when Ace tackled his little brother to the ground.
"You asshole! Where were you!" whispered Ace loud.
Luffy blinked confused with a gaping mouth "What? Why?" he whispered back.
"I wanted to celebrate you finally are going to leave! I'm getting your room too you know!"
"You are so nice… For what are you going to use my room? Your personal porn room?" Luffy whispered loud back.
"No, I'm going to put your pictures everywhere and I'm going to use them as dartboards." Smirked Ace.
Luffy smirked back with a beating vien above his eyebrow. "How thoughtful…"
Ace smirked and he finally went of off Luffy and he helped his little brother stand up. Ace smiled softly and he knuckled Luffy's shoulder. "I'm going to miss you…" he said with a pure voice. Luffy looked at him. Luffy smiled slowly and he looked at the ground, not knowing what to say. Ace and Luffy never had an 'emotional' conversation. Ace was too cool for that… Or something.
Both walked to the door, not saying something because it was no need. Ace opened the door and they walked upstairs. Luffy didn't know what was awaiting him and Ace already smiled, knowing what was. Luffy opened the door and he blinked a few times after he saw something shimmering in the living room in the end of the hallway. Luffy looked at Ace and Ace nodded, pushing him a bit by putting his hand on Luffy's back. Luffy walked and he looked around the corner. He saw a cake standing on the table with a candle in it. He eyed the cake. It was chocolate... It was all chocolate, actually; with hints of pudding and… Was that syrup?It was his favourite type of cake: a creation of teeth-rotting sugar and calories that he'd devour in minutes with a glass of juice to wash it down. Luffy looked around and he walked to the cake. He sat down and frowned slightly when he read the text down on the cake writing with some more tooth rotting sugar icing.
"We will miss you." Murmured Luffy.
He turned as soon as he saw Makino and Ace walking to him, sitting across from him. Luffy smiled and blew the candle out. Makino put on a light and she smiled while cutting the cake.
"Eating with the three of us just like old time." She said, giving the first piece to Luffy. Luffy smiled and took a little bite, enjoying the sweetness. Ace smiled and took the next piece Makino gave him. He also took a little piece and enjoyed the sweetness which is giving him tooth decay. It was quiet and they heard their enamel drip from their teeth.
"You guys do know I am not leaving today, right?" asked Luffy slowly in suspisciouness
"Yep." Both replied, humming in content and enjoying the sweetness.
"Nami! Hurry! Hurry!" yelled Luffy from outside. Nami frowned and dressed fast, running downstairs. She still heard Luffy's voice telling her to hurry. Nami opened her door and she closed it fast. She ran to him and she went on the back of his cycle. Luffy smiled and they drove over the bicycle path towards school.
The school hung the graduate list on the wall with the people who passed and who not. Nami and Luffy entered the school yard and walked towards the crowd. They tried to look but it was too crowded. They also couldn't see the others. Luffy pouted and he looked around, standing on his toes and trying to look above the others. Luffy huffed and he looked at Nami. A smile slowly crept on Luffy's face as soon as he looked at her. Nami looked at him and she frowned slightly afraid and sweat was beading from her head. What did he plan?
Nami yelped and tried to keep her balance. Luffy grinned as he held Nami's legs tightly. Nami sat currently on Luffy's shoulders, looking over everyone and looking at the chart. She pinched her eyes close and she looked. She smiled slowly when she saw her name standing at the graduation chart. She passed! Nami cheered but she almost fell together with Luffy when she did that. Both sighed relieved when they didn't fall. Nami looked again at all the names. She frowned and she looked again.
She now smiled and cheered again "We passed!" she yelled. They both now fell down on the ground. They bursted out in laughter and all the people were looking weirdly at them. The couple stood up again and they hugged each other.
"Congrats." Murmured Luffy.
Nami smiled and hugged him tighter "You too." She murmured.
"GUUUUUYYS!" The mugiwara crew crashed into the cuddling couple and they fell on the ground, again. Nami and Luffy looked in confusion and the others laughed and chuckled. "WE PASSED!"
"Congrats!" yelled Nami and Luffy "We too!"
"CONGRATS!" they all yelled "We have to celebrate this!" yelled Vivi happy.
"Let's get something to drink!" yelled Usopp happy.
"I need some SUPA cola!" yelled Franky. Nami and Luffy grinned and they stood up again. They all went towards Makino's bar and celebrate, of course. Makino walked to them and helped them with their orders.
"Luffy, your suit is hanging upstairs in your room." Said Makino "For the wedding."
"Which is in two days!" cheered Usopp "Aren't you nervous?"
"Quite." She smiled. Luffy grinned and drunk his sixth glass of orange juice. Nami made him addicted to orange juice…
"I'm curious how Luffy is going to look like tomorrow." Said Nami with pinkinsh cheeks. Luffy chuckled and drank further. Oh, he knew she would like it… It fitted with her dress… He took a peek at Nami's dress when Nami was preparing for… love making - Anyway!
Ace entered the bar with a red cheek and teary eyes. Everyone looked at him in confusion when he passed the crew. He opened the door, walked upstairs and he went to his room. Luffy blinked confused. "What happened?"
Makino chuckled softly, cleaning a dish "Hole in his tooth… Caused by the cake…"
Luffy snorted and he drank his orange juice fast, hoping he didn't get a laughter fit. It would suck, wouldn't it? Laughing at his brother caused by his favorite cake. No, he couldn't help it. Luffy laughed loud and Makino shook her head with a smile. The others chuckled softly while enjoying their drinks.
Nami also giggled and looked at Luffy. Luffy was laughing and Makino was telling him to stop. Nami now frowned slightly. 'The wedding is in two days… Luffy is going to leave after that…' It was too fast…
Nami woke up and she jumped out of her bed. She dressed fast and she brushed her hair fast. She ran downstairs, grabbed a sandwich and she ran outside, running to Makino's bar. She opened the door with her key and she locked it again. She ran upstairs and she opened Luffy's bedroom door, finding him still asleep with one leg under the sheet and one on the sheet. Luffy scratched his stomach as he was snoring. Nami chuckled and she walked to him and she woke him up. Luffy looked at her and blinked a few times. He looked at her clothes and frowned
"How come your uniform looks so neatly?" asked Luffy confused. He sat up and he scratched his head.
"We have the graduation today at school so we have to look neatly." Smiled Nami. Luffy frowned and he made an 'o' mouth when he remembered again. Nami chuckled and she walked to his closet, preparing his uniform. Luffy looked at her as she was preparing with a whistle.
"Why are you here so early?" asked Luffy softly "I don't mind, but it starts in about two hours…"
Nami looked sadly into his closet "I…" she turned and looked at him with a sad frown "I wanted to spend some time with you before…"
Luffy frowned and he reached his hand out. She put the uniform down and she walked to him, grabbing his hand. Luffy pulled her in a hug and they stayed like that for a while. Hugging and not saying something at all. Nami smiled and she let go of Luffy. She stood up and wiped her tears away.
"Ok. Go dress so we can eat breakfast." She said. Luffy nodded and walked to his clothes. Nami excited his room and walked to the living room. She looked at the wall with pictures. She grabbed one with her and Luffy. Luffy was eating noodles and Nami was stealing some from him. She smiled and folded the picture, putting it in her pocket.
Luffy excited from his room and he walked to Nami. "Could you help me with this?" he asked. Nami looked at him and smiled. She grabbed the tie and put it around his neck. Luffy smiled and looked at her face. She was standing close and she looked even more beautiful than she ever did. Luffy kissed her forehead and Nami laughed softly. She tied his necktie and Luffy grinned.
"What is our breakfast?" asked Luffy. Nami smiled and grabbed his uniform jacket, giving it to him. Luffy put his jacket on and he walked behind Nami who was leaving the house. "Well, what? What?" he asked, irritating her. Nami frowned slightly and she turned to look at him. Luffy grinned in reply. Nami walked to Luffy and buttoned his jacket better.
"We are going to a little café for breakfast." She said with a smile. Luffy grinned and nodded, already hungry.
They walked towards the café for the breakfast and they enjoyed it.
Nami and Luffy entered the schoolyard. Everyone already was present and they waited for the couple. The said couple smiled and they walked into the school, getting their diplomas. Every parent was there and they were, of course, very happy for their children.
Every teacher said something about the students.
"Even though I never ever gave any compliments… And I can't give compliments, but I will try now… Sanji, you were my best student." Said Zeff with a smile. Sanji looked away, hoping nobody saw him cry out loud.
"You always made a ruckus… But we couldn't wish for better students which treated each other as family…" smiled Beckman. "The mugiwara 'crew'" The crew smiled and some grinned.
"We will miss you all. Some goes a different way, and some will go to One Piece Univerisity, but the bond is so strong, we don't even care. We hope everyone has a great future." Smiled Shanks
"Without you all it would have been very, very boring." Said Rayleigh. "We are so happy you all graduated, but also very sad."
"We will call your names and you can get your diploma here." Smiled Kalifa. Everyone nodded and they received their diplomas after they called them. Some parents made pictures and some hugged their children… Ace chocked Luffy in happiness.
"I'm so proud! You are finally matured!" Ace said
Luffy tried to catch some oxygen "I thought I already was…?"
"Losing your V-card doesn't count!"
Luffy punched Ace against his nose again and Ace yelled in pain. Nami smiled and grabbed Luffy's hand, calming him down.
Luffy grinned and he pumped his arms into the air. "We passed!"
The crew cheered when the graduating was finished and when they arrived their diplomas. They were going to party again until the sun came up!
Luffy opened his eye, blinking as the sunlight shone in his face. Luffy frowned and he looked around, seeing Sanji, Zoro, Nami, Robin and Chopper laying on the living room ground and snoring. Luffy rubbed his forehead and he stood up carefully. Luffy walked towards the kitchen and he grabbed a painstiller for his head.
He grabbed two pans out of the kitchen closet and he walked back to the living room. He pinched his eyes closed and he slammed the two pans against each other. Everyone shot up, grabbing their heads in pain. Only Robin sat up straight by the sound, but she didn't have a hang-over. Luffy smirked. It did hurt, but it was worth it.
"That hurts!" yelled Zoro extremely mad. Luffy did it another time and Zoro groaned again. "Damned!"
Luffy snickered and he put the pans down. Zoro and Sanji stood up and they ran after Luffy. Luffy laughed his head of, even though it hurt like shit. They couldn't wait until the wedding…
Ok! I end it here! This is not the last chapter, the next one is! So this is chapter 25 and next is just 26! Otherwise, you guys have to wait too long! I will make some time next time, but I HATE TIME D:
