"Look! I am all for fun and games but next time, don't let it get out of hand like earlier" you concluded arms crossed over your chest.

You had just finished chastising the three main culprits, leaving Usopp, Brook, and Zoro as shells of the men they once were.

"I didn't know I could feel such immense regret after being told off" Usopp sulked

"How was I supposed to know the little brat was gonna pass out?" Zoro grumbled

"Why was I being scolded too?" Brook asked.

"Even when (Y/n)'s upset she's still gorgeous" Sanji twirled.

"Amazing, (Y/n)'s really amazing. They didn't even stand a chance" Chopper gazed over the regretful men.

"Hahaha! Now I get how you managed to grow up with Luffy!" Franky laughed. "Even he couldn't stand up to a telling off like that!"

"Yeah, It came with practice" you chuckled. "Now back to the real issue at hand" you turned attention to the three young boys still huddled at your side.

"Gulp indeed! What were you guys thinking?! I have a good mind to-!" You fumed.

"Oi (Y/n) at least give them a chance to explain before you chew them out as well" Usopp tried to calm your anger. "I don't think I can go through that twice"

"No she's right to be upset" Nami interrupted. "What they did was completely idiotic"

"So why did you guys come aboard sunny?" Luffy asked.

"We made a mistake" Ian muttered "we went to your house to see if you wanted to watch the stars with everyone"

"So when you weren't home we thought you might be at the beach" Liam explained. "But when we arrived we saw the moss head, with a menacing face, throw you off the ship and wait for you to drown"

'Were the details really necessary?'

"SO IT WAS YOUR FAULT!" Sanji kicked Zoro across the deck.

'Don't take it personally Zoro' you thought to yourself.

"When they realized you could swim and you were heading back to shore they chased after you and forced you back on their ship to be taken away" Isacc finished the story.

'How can your imaginations be this vivid?' A quirked a brow.

"And you didn't get an adult because...?"

"Because if they sailed away it would be too late!" Ian insisted. "You'd be gone!"

"So you guys were just looking out for (Y/n)?" Luffy summed up.

All three boys gave eager nods making Luffy smile and turn to you.

'Oh no...here it comes'

"Then it's alright then! You're all pretty brave, you just need to get stronger!" He beamed.

"Luffy that's not the-!"

"Right (Y/n)!" Luffy chuckled.

'Dang it! He's giving me that face I can't say NO to. I knew this was going to happen' you scrunched up your face in annoyance before letting out a defeated sigh.

"Next time promise me you won't jump to conclusions and you'll talk to an adult first, ok?"

Liam, Ian, and Isaac gawked in surprise. They'd never, in a million years, imagined escaping a lecture from something like this. Smiles crept across their faces as they nodded eagerly before turning to Luffy.

"Sorry for judging you!" They all shouted in unison. "Thank you, for saving us from (Y/n)'s wrath!"

"Hey!" You pouted.

"No problem" Luffy grinned.

"Now about getting you guys back home!" You sighed.

All three boys let out embarrassing chuckles as they fidgeted under the new attention.

'The universe is literally throwing everything at me today' you grumbled internally.

"There's more than enough food for everyone!" Sanji smiled as if sensing your concern. "You can all dig in!"

You gave Sanji a thankful look which he responded to with a completely smitten one. Luffy and the boys did not need to be told twice. They ate like there was no tomorrow, meaning everyone else had to fight for their fair share of meat. Sanji had kindly prepared you a well-balanced BBQ dish beforehand, meaning you could sit back with the girls and watch the squabbling

——————————————————————————————————

The food was done, and everyone was dead set on having some more fun again. Isaac and Liam played tag with Luffy and Chopper for a bit but instantly regretted doing it just after eating. Ian grew strangely fond of Zoro for some reason and wouldn't leave his side. Liam was geeking out with Franky and Usopp over little inventions you couldn't even begin to understand. And there was no surprise that Issac was completely enamored with Brook and his entire existence.

"It's probably time you guys head back now, your parents will be worried" you stood and dusted yourself off.

"AWWWW" everyone whined.

"HOW OLD ARE YOU GUYS? FIVE?!" Nami screamed in annoyance as Robin giggled.

"I-It's alright Nami" you soothed.

"We don't wanna leave yet!" Liam shouted.

"YEAH!" The others cheered.

"WHAT ARE YOU GUYS? CHILDREN!?" You yelled.

"(Y/n) contradicted herself" Chopped thoughtfully pointed out.

"Hey (Y/n)! I have a SUPER idea!" Franky places a hand on your shoulder. "Why don't you let us drop them back! They can even take a ride on mini merry"

"I don't know Franky" you breathed.

You crossed your arms and looked at your boys. All three of them giving you pleading eyes to let them go.

"Oh alright, fine" you smiled and placed your hands on your hips. "But you guys have to promise not to give them any trouble!"

"WE PROMISE!" They cheered as they dashed after Franky and Ussop.

"Quite the knights in shining armor you've got" Robin smiled

"Yeah, I'm quite fortunate" you laughed.

Luffy hopped on the ship railing and waved goodbye as they chugged along the water. Your heart was warmed as you watched their excited smiles sail off into the distance.

"Right!" Nami clapped her hands. "Let's tidy and get ready for the shooting stars tonight."

———————————————————————————————

"(Y/nnnn)" Luffy dragged your name out.

"Yes, Luffy?" You smiled sat crossed-legged on the grassy deck.

It was dark now and you were enjoying the night sky. Of course, you'd always been able to see it but this was the sky from Luffy's point of view. You wanted to be able to appreciate it from that perspective, to see what he was seeing. Luffy was sprawled on deck next to you with a huge frown on his face.

"I'm bored, when's this thing gonna happen" he gave an exasperated sigh.

"I don't know, the others haven't gotten back yet either" you added in concern. "Zoro isn't with them so it's not like they'd get lost"

"Hey!" Zoro grunted as he sat down next to you.

"She's not wrong Zoro" Luffy smiled causing you to erupt into a fit of giggles.

Zoro turned flushed in embarrassment.

"(Y/nnnnn)?" Luffy called again.

"Yes Luffy" you answered again.

"Sing a song for me!" he demanded.

"Are you being serious?" Zoro sighed.

"What's the magic word?" you reminded, without even missing a beat.

"Now" He smiled innocently.

Obviously you didn't take that well and gave him a quick glare which made him pale instantly

"I meant please (Y/n)!" He corrected.

"Of course you did, Lu" you smiled.

"How can you be so nice and so terrifying at the same time?" Zoro muttered in bewilderment only making you smirk.

"I grew up with Luffy and Ace" You replies simply. "Sanji! could I borrow some empty coke bottles please?"

"Anything for you (Y/n)-san!" He sang not even questioning why.

Sanji twirled into the kitchen and returned with a crate full of empty coke bottles.

"What are you guys doing?" Chopper wandered over in curiosity as you took out some bottles and tapped them together experimentally.

"Making music" you replied. "Want to help me?"

"Yeah" Chopper nodded eagerly.

"Me too!" Luffy chimed.

"As a musician, it only makes sense that I offer my assistance as well" Brook tipped his hat before joining everyone else.

"Great! It's a bit complicated but if we get it right, it'll be amazing and a whole lot of fun!" you grinned.

You took the box from Sanji, emptying its contents, and placed it upside-down in the middle everyone who had gathered to watch. All eyes were focused on you as you placed one of the coke bottles on the base of the box.

"All you have to do is copy me" you encouraged.

Carefully, you started to tap the bottle against the box and in your hands to make a beat. After a couple of rounds, Brook got the gist and joined in, then Chopper and even Robin made some hands bloom so that she could join in from a distance. Luffy gave up and decided to do his own thing with his coke bottle. Despite that, it still worked well so you didn't see any reason to try and deter him. By this point, Nami had come out to see what the commotion was about.

"You guys have got it!" You cheered. "So let's add some words, shall we?"

(

By the end of the song, everyone had a smile on their face, proud of their participation and it's results. From Zoro's occasional foot tap to Brook full-blown harmony and bottle tapping. It was the perfect blend.

"That's one way of using my empty coke bottles!" Franky popped up from below deck tears streaming down his face. "It was SUPER beautiful"

"That was impressive, of course, I could've created a whole song from just the bottle caps" Usopp boasted as he followed behind Franky.

"Really!?" Chopper and Luffy gaped at him in awe.

'How many times are they going to fall for that?'

"Franky! Usopp! Welcome back, and thanks" you smiled at them "Did my boys cause you any trouble? You took longer than I expected"

"Nah! Your boys were SUPER!" Franky posed "we just finished up the crack in your wall is all."

"I forgot about that, thanks again!"

"No problem" he gave you a thumbs up.

"Now that everyone's here let's start getting out the blankets and pillows! Chop! Chop!" Nami clapped.

"Okay..." Everyone groaned, apart from Sanji.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

"THERE IT IS! LOOK! LOOK! IT'S RED!" Luffy shouted, jabbing a finger at the first star to cross and paint the sky.

"AND ANOTHER! But it's pink! " Chopper cheered.

"There's blue" Sanji pointed out.

"Green and purple as well" Robin added.

You were all lying on the grassy deck, which was now covered in blankets and pillows. Everyone was wrapped up facing the sky, 'oohing' and 'aahing' at the display.

"It isn't called a rainbow meteor shower for nothing" Nami smirked. "And here comes the best part"

A bright white light soared across the sky and before you could even say 'wow', the entire sky filled with colorful lights. Thousands of stars with different colors soaring across the sky. It was breathtaking. Each star magically appearing, displaying a vibrant trail of color only for it to vanish as fast as it arrived.

"It's... gorgeous" you breathed.

"WOAH! THERE'S SO MANY!" Usopp and Luffy gawked.

"Quite the sight to behold. Not that I have eyes to see it! Yohohoho!" Brook laughed.

"Everyone!" Nami yelled, "We have to make a wish!?"

You twisted your head to look at her in surprise.

"Since when were you into wishing on stars" Zoro scoffed.

"Since it became a chance at getting easy money" She smiled sweetly, Berries twinkling in her eyes.

'Of course, she'd wish for more money' you sweatdropped. 'What should I wish for though?...'

"I wish for!" Luffy started, but hands sprouted from his shoulders and covered his mouth.

"Luffy! If you wish for it out loud then it won't come true!" Robin warned.

"IS THAT TRUE?!" Chopper and Luffy gasped.

"I wish for Robin-san, (Y/n)-san and Nami-san to show me their panties" Brook spoke out loud.

"NOT GONNA HAPPEN!" Nami roared as she lobbed a pillow at the skeleton causing him to have a large bump.

"IT'S TRUE!!!" Chopper and Luffy gasped.

'The hell was in that pillowcase!?'

Apparently, that was all the proof Chopper and Luffy needed to confirm the theory. With this new concrete evidence, Luffy picked a star, scrunched up his face and clapped his hands together. You could only assume that's how he was wishing on his star. Everyone seemed to follow his lead as well, picking a star then closing their eyes to make a wish.

'Might as well, I wish...' Your eyes landed on a blue comet that was racing towards its undetermined destination. Closing your eyes, you clasped your hands together and took a deep breath. 'It's selfish, but I wish to do this again sometime, surrounded by people I care about'

A small smile of satisfaction graced your lips as you made your wish. Your eyes fluttered open and landed on an unidentified object dangling in front of your face. You blinked a couple of times in an attempt to focus on the blurry object. When it started to form a proper shape you were able to make out a small gold straw hat Jolly Roger with a red band around the hat.

"Shishishi! We had to beat those other guys somehow" Luffy beamed.

"Do you like it?" Chopper asked in excitement.

Only now had you realized that the whole crew was anxiously anticipating your response to the golden charm being held up to you by Luffy.

"Did you guys make this?" You blinked owlishly at the charm.

"Technically Usopp made it, but it's a gift from all of us" Nami explained.

"Ah yes! It was quite a difficult task, I worked day and night designing it!" Usopp proclaimed.

'How could you work day and night if you were creating paths in the woods all day?' you thought.

"Luffy refused to give you silver cause it means second place. And we're number 1"

"Everyone wanted to thank you for your kind hospitality" Brook explained. "It's not often we get such a warm and accepting welcome"

"We are pirates after all" Sanji smirked.

"You guys are something else! I can't believe you found a way to compete and upstage people who don't even know they're competing" you giggled. "I love it!"

"That's the straw hats for ya" Zoro smirked, causing everyone to laugh.

"Thank you so much" You beamed as Luffy gave it to you so you could put it on your wrist.

Somehow you managed to pull everyone in for a group hug, and there were no complaints whatsoever. You were bound together by a new friendship, built on a promise, and sealed with a wish. Warmth enveloped your heart to the point where it felt sunny under the stars.

"I'll treasure it forever" you whispered

"We know!" Luffy chuckled.
