A/N So, um. I know I said this chapter was gonna be the last but, I changed my mind! Sorry. Next chapter will be the last one. Also, I wanted to remind you guys that in case you have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA about what's going on, make sure you have read the previous chapter. Cuz I updated pretty early on that one.

Law wakes up with a gasp, his cheeks stained in dried tears.

Blearily, he checks his surroundings. The sun is filtering through the windows as bright as usual. And he's on his bed, which is in his room, which is not where he last recalls being. But that isn't what worries him. It's Luffy.

Quickly, he pulls off the covers, and heads room to room calling Luffy's name. When he's met with only silence, the bottomless pit of fear in his stomach grows. He begins panicking, looking everywhere in the apartment, throughout the streets, everywhere. When he can't find Luffy, he attempts his last option. Magic.

He shuffles through the many books on the shelves, before his eye catches a soft glow emanating behind them. Shoving books out of the way, he reaches for the glow, picking up an even older looking dust-covered book. He blows off the dust and then rushes through the pages, looking for a certain spell. When he finds the right page, he sets the book down, and places his hands on both sides of the book.

A crimson red light glows faintly from his hands. "Luffy," Law whispers desperately. "Come back to me. I summon thee." The light glows even brighter, until it's harsh and blinding to look at. In a flash, the light disappears, and Law is left with nothing but silence as he stares at the ground in despair. The spell didn't work.

It couldn't be true, Luffy couldn't be gone.

Law refuses to believe it.

He drags himself to the couch, the exact spot where Luffy had sat so often. He then stares at the piano, his gaze never wavering. Hoping that the boy would appear on the bench, his face bright, and his fingers ready to dance. Hours and hours pass, until Law lowers his head into his lap, his eyes dull to the world.

There's something warm next to Law, or at least, the temperature seemed to have risen. Law turns, to make sure nothing isn't- it can't be.

Luffy?

But it is. Even more faded and transparent than he ever had been, but it is Luffy. Here, next to Law, right in front of him. It feels sort of strange, to have Luffy in front of him right when he was about to believe Luffy was gone forever.

Law laughs, a great burden off his chest. "Where were you?" He demanded. "I was worried sick! And what did you mean before? What was-." Law notices Luffy's expression. It's still as sad as before, and the feeling of panic in Law grows. "What's wr-."

"Law," Luffy interrupts. "I don't have much time. Just listen, please."

"Bu-."

"Law."

Law stays silent.

"You saw the memory, about shooting stars? About my wish?" Law nods. "I didn't tell you," Luffy looks a bit guilty. "But, I actually regained my memories, all of them, before you did. A while back, when I figured out how to play Bink's Sake." Luffy looks down. "I decided not to tell you because I realized that my… my time was almost up, that what I came here to do was almost finished."

"Law, I," Luffy chokes back a sob. "I'm sorry." Law stares, bewildered. "I'm only to stay until the memories have been returned fully. It's a cycle, through lifetimes. I'm the bridge, the star, to lead you home. To let you remember the time that we were all together, when we...were pirates." He smiles, such a sad smile, and it occurs to Law that he never knew smiles could be so so heartbreaking.

"But you can't-," Law's voice cracks.

Luffy grips his face, letting his fingers lightly brush Law's cheeks. Law flinches. He can actually feel Luffy. "I promise that one day, one day we'll all be together again." Luffy's voice sounds as though it were far far away, and he begins to shimmer. Blue dust swirls around him, a vortex getting faster and faster.

His voice is barely audible, hands shaking. "Good bye, Law. I'm off to visit everyone else."

"No," Law rasps, but Luffy can't hear.

Luffy gives Law one last smile. "Love you. Always have. Always will."

And then he's gone.

Leaving behind a dark, glistening piano, blue dust fading into oblivion, and a heartbroken Law, tears glistening from his eyes.
