-Chapter Two-

-Flashback-

Loudly did a pair of twins run their way through the overgrowth of the forest, their blue eyes greedily attempting to take in the sight of all that was around them as if attempting to commit it to memory—as if not wanting to forget a single detail of their new temporary home. Silently were they making mental reminders of the quickest routes they could use if they needed to get away or hiding spots that would be so easy for them to squeeze inside of if they ever needed to hide. Of the two, the older twin—a young boy—was quickly starting to pull ahead as he loudly laughed, never taking notice in the way that his sister had begun to slow in her steps as her attention was soon dragged away from the scenery around her. Instead, her gaze now found itself curiously peering at a young boy who sat not too far from where she was on a log. His face currently twisted up into a scowl as he seemed to just harshly wipe at his eyes and loudly sniff.

"Hey!" she curiously called out, already making her way towards the young boy without a second thought. Normally, she wasn't usually so brave as to approach a stranger, especially on a new island that she knew she and her brothers were only going to stay on temporarily...but she felt it fine to do such a thing with this boy when she noticed that he was crying.

"Don't go sneaking up on people like that!" the boy snapped the moment he had flinched and whirled his head around to look in her direction. Frowning as his cheeks now started to slowly grow warm at the realization that he had been caught angrily crying—he came out here to be alone, what was some kid doing around here? Slowly did his anger and embarrassment start to fade the longer he looked at the young girl and realized that he did not recognize her as anyone from the village. "Hey, who exactly are you? I don't think I've seen you around here before" he remarked as he watched how she settled to a stop right in front of him.

"Skylar—Skylar Strife" she introduced as if it was just an automatic response for her—as if she was so used to saying her name in that fashion that she couldn't stop herself. "My brothers and I just got here" she widely smiled before tilting her head as she curiously peered at him. "Who are you? Why is your hair so green? Is there something wrong with it?" she couldn't help but to childishly ask question after question the longer she stared at the boy and his oddly colored hair.

"There's nothing wrong with my hair!" he snapped, cheeks flushing in embarrassment at the slight indication that there was something weird or unnatural about his hair. "The name's Zoro—Roronoa Zoro" he huffed as he introduced himself. "What do you mean you just got here with your brothers? What about your parents?" he curiously asked when he realized how odd her wording had been. Usually, someone would use the word family, but by the way she had spoken, her words insinuated that it was just she and her brothers who had arrived.

"What are you doing out here all by yourself?" she asked in return as she avoided properly answering the young boy and instead plopped right down beside him on the log. Her legs too short as they lifted off the ground the moment she sat down.

"That's not really any of your business—now, are you going to answer my question or not?" he huffed as he crossed his arms the moment he realized that the brunette had completely ignored his question.

"Were you crying? Why were you crying? Are you sad?" once again did she start to ask question after question as she seemed to just brush off his own as if she found it too trivial of a question to answer. "Is the reason you're out here is because you're embarrassed? You shouldn't be, everyone cries" she said with the tilt of her head.

"I-I wasn't crying!" Zoro embarrassingly snapped.

"You weren't?" she tilted her head.

"N-no" he stuttered, knowing that no matter how much he denied it—she had already caught him. "But…if you really want to know, I got beat by a girl today" he frowned at the memory of his loss back at the dojo—the embarrassment at having lost to some young girl that wasn't that much older than him made his lips twitch downwards and his eyebrows furrow in displeasure.

"So?" Skylar frowned, not understanding what was so bad about losing—especially losing to a girl. "Geez, that's not something to cry over—who gets upset because they lost to some girl...?" she muttered with the roll of her eyes as she listened to the way the young boy only seemed to just grumble in response.

"Just leave me alone…I need to get stronger…" he bitterly muttered, voice so low that Skylar was just barely able to hear the words he had spoken, but when she did, she felt the way her lips tugged upwards into a wide smile as her eyes brightened almost as if she had gotten an idea.

"If you like, I can help you with your training—I actually know some pretty good training exercises" she suddenly said as her gaze seemed to almost darken for a moment and grow hazy as if she was lost in thought.

"Really now?" Zoro raised an eyebrow as he eyed the young girl up and down, taking note of her small stature—she looked like someone he could easily pick up and toss if he so desired. "Sure, whatever you say" he scoffed in disbelief before curiously watching as she suddenly threw herself up off of the log and now stood in front of him.

"Then it's a deal" she said as she crossed her arms behind her back and began to rock back and forth on the balls of her feet. "In exchange for me helping you with your training, you have to…" she trailed off, stopping her rocking as she now tilted her head and seemed to just tap her chin in thought. "You have to…" she repeated before suddenly snapping her fingers as the thought finally hit her. "You have to be my friend!" she smiled, pleased with how smart she was as the idea that she was going to make her first real friend since…the idea that she was going to make her first real friend filled her with joy.

"Now hold on, I never—"

"So, is it a deal or not?" she cut him off as she now shoved her hand in his face and softly shook it as if attempting to get his attention. Zoro stared at her for a moment, huffing at the fact that she had so easily cut him off and didn't seem to care all that much that he hadn't really agreed to anything…but, the longer he stared at her and saw the way her eyes seemed to just brighten at the concept of having a friend and the way that smile of hers seemed to just grow the longer she looked at him, the more he started to feel he didn't really have a choice.

"Sure...it's a deal" he grinned as he reached out and grabbed her hand, giving it a firm shake. The days to come after that little deal of theirs was certainly filled with surprises as Zoro learned that the brunette hadn't lied, she really did know quite a few helpful tips for training regiments that helped in building up the strength in his arms and legs—he also found that she happened to be a decent enough sparing partner. Though she didn't seem to put in the same passion behind her attacks like he did his...still, she held up her own decently well enough that he could give her credit where credit was due. But if he's being honest, the training regiments she had shown him felt a bit strange to him due to how they kind of reminded him of something you'd expect a young Marine to be put through in preparation for the field. He made attempts to ask her where she had learned such training methods as well as how she had learned to spar so well but was always met with either silence or strained smiles as she'd be quick to change the subject.

He learned fairly quickly not to question her too much, he learned fairly quickly that she was a very closed off person when it came to certain questions as if she didn't like the idea of personally letting him get too close. Eventually, he learned to just go with the flow of things and accept whatever she told him, but despite how hard he trained and how much help the brunette had been, he still lost every time he went up against Kuina. He still found himself knocked to the ground, he still found himself with bruises as she would be deemed the winner and he'd be left to sulk away and angrily rant to the young eight-year-old that always patiently listened to him. Slowly, bit by bit, he eventually started to teach himself how to use more than just one sword—quick was he in learning how to use two swords with the help of Skylar who gave him simple tips and spared with him enough until he was completely better at the style than she was. But that wasn't enough as he kept pushing it until the day he finally was able to yield three of the wooden training swords at once.

The pride he felt swell up in his chest the minute he saw the awe in Skylar's eyes despite the way she teased him for that temper of his—that temper that had pushed him to exceed in being better, in going over the top and doing more than what was asked of him—was enough to boost his confidence. Slowly did he and Skylar begin to grow closer as the days went by to the point that it was commonplace for the brunette to accompany him at the dojo and watch him fight—hearing her cheers and claps every time he won a match was enough to brighten his mood and make him feel good about himself. But even though they grew close, there were moments where he couldn't help but just be confused by her and her behavior. Confused by the way she'd get all flustered and embarrassed when he'd poke fun and tease her for something like her short height, but yet be perfectly calm and fine whenever one of the other boys in the dojo would do the same thing. Confused was he whenever she'd suddenly get upset and almost snippy with him—turning away and completely ignoring him whenever he'd talk too much about Kuina, even though the things he sometimes said weren't always that nice.

"Can't we talk about something other than Kuina?"

"Why you do like talking about Kuina so much? Do you like her more?"

"Yeah, she's cool, but do you need to talk about her every time we hang out?"

Those were some of the questions that she'd angrily ask whenever she felt that Kuina was mentioned far too much for her liking during moments that were meant to be spent between her and Zoro. He didn't exactly understand her reaction until the day her older brother, Cloud, had told him that she was just jealous. He hadn't expected such an answer from the older boy when he had asked such a question while the both of them were alone inside the small shack that the Strife children lived in. That had been his first time visiting her house, the experience had been bizarre when he saw just how rundown the place looked—how it appeared to almost be in shambles and slowly rotting away as there were no adults around saved for the twelve-year-old. They barely had anything to their name and he always wondered how they got the clothes that they wore or the food that they ate…though sometimes the food didn't really look all that appetizing.

He knew that Skylar would never answer him if he were to ask her about her living conditions—living conditions that troubled him as even he knew at his young age that she and her brothers shouldn't have been living in such a fashion. Where were their parents? Were they orphans? He made attempts to ask her two brothers anytime he could get them alone, but just like with Skylar, they ignored him or would change the subject while offering him strained smiles.

"Just don't worry about it, it has nothing to do with you" Cloud had eventually told him one day when he attempted to push one of his prying questions that none of the Strife children wanted to answer. He reluctantly accepted that they weren't going to open up to him, that they weren't going to share with him what was wrong or why they were living the life that they were living—it did not lessen his worry or concerns, only made them grow. But, despite it all, life seemed to just go on perfectly fine for the two. Until that day...

Until the day that Kuina had died.

Zoro had been pretty happy at the beginning of that day, excitedly telling Skylar all about the promise he and Kuina had made the previous night when he had angrily challenged her to another swordfight—one that involved real swords this time. Whatever happiness that had been shared between the two was instantly cut short by the arrival of one of the other children from the dojo, a young boy who dreadfully gave them the news of the tragic accident.

"She fell down the stairs."

That had been the cause of death everyone said—it was an unexpected death…it was a simple death. Zoro had been struck the hardest by the news as he became devastated, lashing out and pushing away all those that tried to get close to him as he angrily tried to work through his grief through training. He even found himself aggressively lashing out at Skylar anytime she attempted to comfort him, anytime she'd tell him that anger was not the proper way to grieve and though his words and his actions hurt her, she never left his side. She waited patiently as she'd silently follow and listen and comfort and ignored any of his angry rants whenever he'd break down and lash out at her before he'd start screaming at her that what had happened wasn't fair—that what had happened wasn't right. It took him some time before he settled down—before he accepted Kuina's death and made a promise that he'd fulfill their wish in becoming the World's Greatest Swordsman.

Zoro in a way was thankful towards the brunette for how patient she had been with him, for how she stuck by his side despite how he acted towards her—despite how he lashed out at her during his time of grief. He apologized so many times to her after that day he was given Kuina's sword, he apologized for how he treated her and the pain he had no doubt caused her and it only pained his heart whenever she'd sweetly smile up at him and assure him it was fine. She could never fully tell him just how badly his actions hurt her, she couldn't bring herself to tell him how his anger had scared her—all she could do was smile and assure him that everything was fine. He was her first friend and had quickly become her first crush as well, she didn't want to lose him because he had acted out on his grief. She wanted to instead just be there for him and help him every step of the way as he heals and grows.

Slowly did years go by as the two began to get even closer to the point that Zoro eventually found himself developing warm feelings for now the eleven-year-old girl who was already starting to grow and mature. Slowly with each passing day, the teenager found himself trying so hard not to embarrass himself in front of his crush as she too began to do the same—the both of them embarrassingly dancing around their emotions as neither could find the voice to confess to the other. Carefully did they start showing physical affection in small ways—a quick hug here, a grab of the hand there as they'd walk, a pat on the head or the ruffle of some hair. Eventually, they began to give one another gifts, gifts that were simple as they were either made or picked or caught and so on. Zoro had been the first one to act, giving the brunette a sloppily made bracelet of flowers that had been messily tied together…but, sadly, it hadn't lasted too long as the flowers were quick to wither and die after just a few days.

Skylar, on the other hand, gave Zoro a necklace that was made of nothing more than strings and seashells—it seemed to be the only gift given that didn't whither or run away or get lost or be destroyed. It was a gift that Zoro kept around his neck or in his pocket, a gift that he always kept on him somewhere on his body no matter what—even when it wasn't in sight, he still had it somewhere on his person. Though, sadly, the time they spent together was soon abruptly cut short as there came a day were Skylar and her brothers could no longer stay on the island. She knew that her time spent on the island was temporary, that one day she and her brothers would have to leave, but that didn't stop the tears from falling as she came to Zoro—sobbing and choking out incoherent words that took him a while to decipher. She didn't give the reason for their sudden departure, but he didn't really care as his only instinct was to wrap her up in a hug and hold her as tightly as he could. He didn't want her to leave, he selfishly wanted her to stay with him and he expressed this selfish desire through the way his arms would tighten around her every time she made a move to pull away as his eyes slowly began to sting and water.

"Don't go..." he muttered, not wanting her to leave him. "Please, don't go" he almost pleaded.

"Zoro, I have to go…" she quietly sniffed, her voice wobbly and strained as she tried her best to calm her crying. "What was that?" she softly asked the moment he suddenly muttered something in response as he only seemed to tighten his hold on her.

"I said, you better promise me that you won't ever forget about me" he repeated as he hesitantly pulled away and looked her in the eyes. "I want to make sure that you'll recognize me the day we see each other again—especially when I become the World's Greatest Swordsman!" he huffed. "We will see each other again…won't we?" he suddenly asked, sounding almost scared of the answer she'd give.

"Yeah!" she loudly sniffed as she began to harshly wipe away her tears and brightly smiled up at the young boy. "But what about you, huh? You promise that you won't go forgetting about poor old me?" she asked as she looked up at him with those big, innocent eyes of hers.

"Of course I won't forget you, dummy" he scoffed as if the mere thought of him forgetting her sounded ridiculous. "I promise" he softly smiled as he affectionally ruffled her hair.

"Good, then…then I guess this is goodbye" she hesitantly said as her eyes became downcast and her cheeks suddenly became warm. "I…I…I'll miss you…" she softly muttered, stumbling over her words as her blush seemed to almost darken. For a minute, she looked ready to turn and leave before she suddenly stopped and stood up on her tippy toes as she pressed a light and gentle kiss to the older boy's cheek. "B-bye!" quick was she to turn and leave, waving goodbye without even bothering to look back as if too embarrassed to face him after what she had just done.

"Note to self, tell her how I feel next time I see her…" Zoro mumbled as he raised a hand and rested it against the cheek she had kissed.

-End of Flashback-

"Honestly, all I got to do now is wait and see if he remembers me or not…I don't look that different dressed as a man, do I?" I asked as I pulled on the new chest binder Dr. Anderson had given me. "Well, I mean I could probably go ahead and tell them I'm a girl now since the fight's over with, but…I think I want to keep up the charade a little longer" I sighed, after having to dress this way for almost three years—I've come to enjoy some of the little perks acting like a man has given me when it comes to the visitors of this island. Mainly, I've come to enjoy the fact that they at least took my seriously when they looked at me because in their eyes they saw a young man aspiring to be a great fighter, not a young woman that was just tired.

"Why is that?" the doctor curiously asked.

"Life is much easier as a man" I shrugged, watching how he nodded.

"You sure that's a good idea though?" Sora asked with the tilt of his head. "Wouldn't you want to just reunite with your boyfriend now?" he teasingly asked as he started to make kissy faces at me.

"He's not my boyfriend, Sora" I rolled my eyes. "We're just…friends, that's what we were back then and that's probably what we'll be now that we're older" I sighed as I tugged on the new shirt I was given. "All set—come on, So-So, let's go" I said as I motioned for my twin to follow.

"Bye, Dr. Anderson" we called back with a wave.

"Bye, be sure to take it easy you two, I rather not see either of you so soon after today's visit" he called back with a wave of his own as he turned his attention elsewhere before we fully shut the door and made our way back to the restaurant. Already was the sun slowly beginning to set as everyone was now starting to retire back into their homes and settle in for the night.

"We're back" Sora said the moment we entered the restaurant that had already been cleared out by most of its customers—though, whether the customers had left because closing time was nearing or because they were angry with the group of pirates that were still here, I did not know. I couldn't help but stare for just a moment at the large stack of plates that cluttered the table as the man with the straw hat's stomach seemed to have inflated in size like a balloon due to the massive amount of food he's most likely been consuming since his friend had won that fight.

"Good, I won't be alone in cleaning up this mess..." Cloud grumbled with a sigh of relief as he tiredly glared down at the stacks of filthy plates that he knew would be our responsibility to clean. "What is this guy? A black hole?" he muttered underneath his breath.

"Oh! You're back" I stopped in my tracks to look at the person who had spoken, now taking a moment to really get a good look at the man with the long nose I had spotted earlier. I didn't think noses could actually get that long now that I looked at it—if his name's not Pinocchio then I'm going to be severely disappointed in his parents.

"Yeah, I'm back" I nodded as I grabbed one of the chairs nearby and plopped down in it as I crossed my arms and rested them over the back.

"Uh…are you alright?" Nami, I think that's her name, asked. She looked hesitant like she was almost nervous I'd blow up on her or something.

"Well yeah, why wouldn't I be?" I asked, chuckling the moment I saw her sweat drop before she quickly shook her head and frowned.

"You aren't upset that you lost?" she curiously asked, looking as if she couldn't believe that I wasn't throwing some kind of temper tantrum over my defeat.

"No? Why would I do something as childish as that?" I raised an eyebrow. "I lost, big deal" I shrugged. "All I can do is learn from my mistake and not repeat it again."

"Learn from your mistake?" she echoed.

"You got distracted there at the last minute I saw" Zoro said. "I say you better learn quickly not to do that—letting your guard down in a fight is the quickest way to get yourself killed" he warned as he leaned back in his chair and took a swing from the bottle in his hand.

"I know" I nodded. "So, may I get the names of the champions that get the luxury of staying here free of charge?" I asked as I rested my chin on my crossed arms.

"Oh, I guess" Nami nodded. "The name's Nami, over there is Zoro, then there's Luffy, Sanji, and Usopp" she said as she pointed to each man she named.

"Nice to meet you, the name's Skylar—Skylar St…just Skylar" I caught myself which was a first as I always had trouble breaking that old habit of mine. I don't know why I keep the last name—I don't know why any of us keep it. "Over there are my brothers, Cloud and Sora" I said, ignoring the pirates' curious stares as I jabbed a finger towards my two brothers. Cloud only grunted in greeting as he gathered up the dirty dishes while Sora happily waved in greeting before he did the same as the blond. "So, what are you doing all the way out here? I certainly hope it's not just for sightseeing" I said.

"We're off to the Grand Line" Luffy answered through a mouthful of meat which caused chunks of it to go flying from his mouth.

"It's not really polite to talk with your mouth full, you know?" I softly scolded, "Anyway, if you're heading for the Grand Line, I guess that means you're going after that legendary treasure all you pirates like to talk about…what was it called again?" I questioned as I snapped my fingers in thought in an attempt to remember the name.

"The One Piece" Nami said.

"That's it" I nodded. "Must be nice to be able to go on such a grand adventure" I couldn't help but blissfully sigh. "To be out there sailing the wide-open sea, living freely and having fun all in the name of treasure hunting" I couldn't stop the way my lips softly tilted upwards into a small smile.

"You seem to really like the idea of being out at sea" Sanji remarked.

"Yeah" I hummed as I tilted my head back. "My brothers and I used to move around a lot in search of a home—it wasn't easy and we all learned quickly just how deadly and harsh the sea can be to those of us that aren't prepared, but…just the sight of those waves were still so lovely even in those moments where they'd get harsh" I admitted. "There's something thrilling about being out at sea, it's clearly much better than being stuck here on land" I sighed. "There's only so much beauty you can see here on land before you start to grow tired of it—out at sea, the scenery is always changing, and your always being taken to new places and meeting new people."

"Skylar, come back here and help with the dishes!" Cloud tiredly called over as he poked his head out of the kitchen door. "I want to go home and sleep before I have to finish fixing the roof..." he grumbled before he disappeared back inside the kitchen.

"Whelp, that's my cue to go" I said as I stood up. "How long do you all plan on staying?" I curiously asked, expecting them to say that they have plans on leaving tomorrow after witnessing just how bad this island can be.

"For about a week" Nami answered which surprised me. "We're just going to restock and rest up a bit before having to make the trip to the Grand Line" she said as I nodded my head in understanding.

"Well, hopefully, I'll get to spend more time with you people—your colorful appearance is far better compared to the people of this island" I winked as I waved at them before disappearing into the kitchen.

-A Week Later-

"I'm sorry, what?" I slowly blinked as I stared at the raven-haired man before me in confusion.

"I said, will you join my crew?" Luffy grinned, repeating that question that caused my eyes to slowly blink once more as if I was struggling to just process what he was asking me.

"Luffy, you can't just ask "him" that! You've only known "him" for a week!" Usopp scowled and he wasn't wrong. A week had already come and gone and during that entire week I, strangely enough, found myself stuck with the captain of the Straw Hat pirates as he seemed to practically glue himself to my side—constantly following me around, constantly talking to me and asking me questions, and just straight-up acting like we were friends or something. I won't lie, my time spent with him had been nice, especially that day on the cliffside when he…he's a good person with a good heart I found. I couldn't help but almost view him like a brother.

"Why would you want me on your crew?" I frowned.

"Because I want you on my crew" Luffy smiled.

"You barely know anything about me and spending an entire week with me doesn't exactly seem like enough time for you to make such a big decision" I owlishly blink at the blank stare he gave me. "Look, you're a good guy and you seem like the type of person that wouldn't let just anyone join his crew without a good reason—so, why are you asking me?" I asked.

"Do I need a reason other than the fact that I just want you on my crew?" he laughed.

"Yes, you do!" the other Straw Hats and I snapped.

"Really? Well…" Luffy hummed as he began to rub his chin in thought before suddenly snapping his fingers. "Your eyes" he grinned.

"Excuse me?" I raised an eyebrow.

"It's your eyes, they just have this familiar look to them when you start talking about adventure and being out at sea" he explained and I couldn't help but frown at his wording a little—what does he mean by familiar? "It's like there's a certain fire in them, it almost feels like you're bored with your life here and, even though I don't know why that would be, you just need to get out. Well, what better way to do that than to join my crew?" he brightened. "You seem like a pretty swell "guy" and the time I spent with you this week means that we're friends now, so I'd be happy to have you on my crew" he grinned.

"That sounded strangely reasonable and intelligent" Nami noted in suspicion.

"Are we sure that's our idiotic captain and not an imposter?" Sanji asked.

"I don't know…what if you regret having me apart of your crew later on?" I hesitantly asked.

"I won't" Luffy said, a serious look now settling on his face—it was a look I don't think I've seen him really wear that much since he arrived here.

"You sure about that? You sure you wouldn't regret having someone like me on your ship?" I pressed, watching how he only gave a firm nod in response.

"I think it's a great idea" Sora smiled as he passed right on by, carrying various plates of food that he was quick to set down the moment he reached the table before sighing in relief when his arms were free from the weight of all that food he had to carry. "Here's your order, Luffy" and just like that, the pirate captain was quick to zip himself back into his seat and begin stuffing his face as if he was starving and this was his first meal in ages.

"Boy sure likes to eat..." I muttered, always surprised with how quick he could be when it came to food.

"But as I was saying, I think it's a great idea" Sora brightened which caused me to narrow my eyes in suspicion for a moment. "Skylar, you really don't have much going on here and it's pretty obvious that you've been growing bored more and more everyday…don't think I haven't noticed your startling decrease in energy. So why not try and spice things up in your life?" he smiled, a sad look crossing his eyes the moment he mentioned my sudden decrease in motivation. He wasn't wrong, the more time I spend on the island, the more tired I get...the more motivation and energy I lose.

"Normally, I wouldn't encourage this since your my baby "bro," but I have to agree with Sora on this one" Cloud said as he looked up from where he was sweeping the floor. "You're old enough to make your own decisions, and you have expressed many times before how much you just want to leave and see if there's more to life than what you have currently going on right now" he pointed out.

"I've never said that before expect in my…" my face flushed the moment I saw the grin that tugged at the blonde's lips. "You fucker! You read my journal, didn't you?!" I embarrassingly snapped.

"Oh, don't be surprised, I'm your big brother after all—you aren't allowed to have privacy when I'm around" Cloud cheekily smiled before he went back to sweeping. Lowly did I grumble before quickly I turned all of my attention back onto Luffy.

"Alright, I'll ask you one more time—do you really want me on your crew?" I asked.

"Yes" he nodded as he spoke through a mouthful.

"And…and you feel that you won't regret it?"

"That's right."

"There's a part of me that feels like there's more to this then what you're letting on, but if you're so sure that you want me to join—and it's pretty obvious that these two are fine with me going—then I guess I have no choice" I sighed. "Sure, I guess I'm a pirate now" I shrugged.

"Really?" Nami blinked in surprise. "Been a while since I've seen someone agree that easily" she remarked.

"In that case, then I know I made the right choice in agreeing, persistent people can be so annoying sometimes" I said as my lips slowly twitched upwards. "I should know, I'm the twin to one" I said as I motioned towards Sora who laughed. "So, when are you all heading out?"

"Around mid-afternoon, so that should give you about two hours to gather up your things before we leave" Nami answered.

"Right, well I might as well go do that now" I nodded as I removed my apron and draped it over one of the nearby chairs. "Come on, Sora, I'm going to need some help—I also have a few things I want to talk to you about" I said as I motioned for my twin to follow, smiling as I watched how he nodded and copied what I had just done the minute he removed his apron.

"What? Leaving me here alone once more?" Cloud questioned, his eye twitching in irritation.

"Why, of course, it's only fair seeing how you went through my journal" I cheekily smiled as I passed by the blond before Sora and I exited the restaurant.
