Hello, my lovlies!

Here's the next chapter, like I promised. And I wanted to thank everybody who supports this story! Thank you very much!

This chapter is a bit sad. Well, at least I tried to make it sound really sad. I'm not very good at writing sad moments but I'm trying my best! So I hope you enjoy it!

The picture to the top is a picture of Cerise. And it's made by yours truly, Me! :P I know it's not good so sorry for that, but I tried! Next time I'll try to draw her with her ears and tail. But I'm not making any promises that I will draw her again. Just a maybe.

Oh, and the body base I used was Nami's!

Chapter 5: Every Cloud has a Silver Lining

Cerise/Cherry's POV

"Are we ready to sail?!" I heard Blondie yell out to the crew. A lot of them replied with a yes while others nodded. After Monet and Gladius returned and gave me my stuff, I went and put them in the women's sleeping quarters. Only me, Baby 5, Monet, Jora and Sugar were staying in that room. "Then let's-!"

"Blondie!" I interuppted him. Some of my crewmates stared at me shocked and worried. What? Did I say something wrong? Or did I do something weird? I turned my attention back to Blondie and saw a vein pop on his forehead.

"You need to learn some manners. First: Don't call me that ever again. Refer to me like everyone else is referring. Second: Don't ever interrupt me again!" He said, angrily but still grinning like a mad man, which he was in my opinion. Man, this dude got a lot of moodswings. One second he's teasing me and one second he's angry. Is he on his period, or what?

"Okay, okay! I'm sorry for interrupting you, but I'll never call you Waka-sama. It sounds too formal to me. How 'bout I just call you by your name then? Or should I find another nickname? Since you call me 'Cherry'." I suggested and thought of a nickname for him.

Then he started to chuckle. "Fufufufu! You're cute!" He said and kept chuckling. I, on the other hand, started to blush.

"A-Anyway! I was going to ask for permission for something." I said and walked closer to him. He stared at me, with a grin of course. "Before we go, can I go somewhere? I have to visit somebody before leaving." I whispered, hoping for him to say yes.

His grin faded slightly but it was still there. "Nice try! And here I thought you actually gave in to coming with us." He mumbled the last part and then started to drag me towards the cabin. He opened the door and pushed me inside and then closed the door. "I'm not letting you go. You should know that by now." He said, arms crossed over his chest.

I stared at him unbelievably. "I'm not running away! I just need to go somewhere before leaving this island!" I said, trying to reason with him.

He didn't seem convinced. "Where are you planning to go?" He asked.

I looked down a little hesitantly. "I-I... I- goin- t- the gra-ard." I muttered.

"What? Speak normally! I can't understand you." He said, taking a step closer to me.

I gave a sigh and looked up to his face. "I'm going to the graveyard." I told him, trying not to show some sadness.

His face turned from confusion into understanding. "Are you going to Lumina's grave?" He asked and put his hands into his pockets.

I looked down, trying to hide my expression, and nodded.

"Fine, you can go." He said and I immediately looked up with a huge smile. "But..." And of course there is going to be a 'but'. "I'm coming with you." He said and smirked. I just stared at him surprised. He then turned around to walk out of the cabin. But before he opened the door, he turned his head around to face me over his shoulder. "And you can call me whatever you want. I kinda like it." He said and left the cabin, leaving me there, stunned.

[At the Graveyard]

I walked into the graveyard with a bouquet with different types of white flowers. Mama always loved white flowers.

Doflamingo decided to wait by the entrance to the graveyard. He was leaned up against the gate, watching me from a few yards.

I walked in between a few graves until I stopped and stared at one special gravestone. I knelt down and placed the flowers on the grave and put my hand on top of the stone and rubbed it. Then my fingers trailed down to the engravings on it. Lumina, Beloved Mother.

"Mama, I'm leaving..." I whispered. I took a deep breath, trying to hold the tears back. "I'm gonna become a pirate. You probably don't want me to be such a thing, but this Blondie standing a few yards back insists on it. Maybe I'll find a purpose once leaving this place." I said and started to play with the dirt. "Every cloud has a silver lining. You used to say that all the time." Then a tear fell on the ground. "I miss you so much!" I said, my voice cracking, then all the tears I held in just fell.

Doflamingo's POV

I watched from afar as Cherry's lips moved. She was saying some things, but I couldn't hear them.

After a while, I looked up to the sky and saw that it was getting cloudy. That's weird. It's spring and it's going to rain? And from the looks of it, it doesn't look like a few drops. It seems to be a heavy rain.

I decided to get Cherry and leave before it started raining, so I walked up to her.

"I miss you so much!" I heard her say, as her voice cracked. She started crying. She laid her head on the ground, on the grave and kept crying.

I went closer to her and crouched down to her level. I put a hand on her shoulder to gain her attention which I did when she lifted her head up to look at me, with a tear stained face. "We should go now. It's going to rain." I said, calmly.

She nodded and turned her attention back to the grave. "I love you, Mama... Goodbye." She whispered. She turned towards me and then her next action surprised me. She hugged me. I didn't know what to do. She hugged me tighter after a while and I wrapped my own arms around her small body. She fit perfectly into my arms. "Thank you for letting me visit her once more." She said into my neck. I responded by hugging her tighter.

"Hold on tight now." I said after a moment and leaped into the air, leaving the graveyard and the town.
