Daily daycare for kids

Departure hurts

"Do you have everything? Are you sure you'll be okay? Wheres the medical aid? Need any more supplies?" the questions ramble on and on from my mouth as I flit back and forth between the whitebeard pirates like a worried mother hen. "______ enough already i'm fine" Ace mumbles embarrassed as I poke and prod making sure his cloak is fixed properly and that his bags are secured.

"It doesn't hurt to double check Ace if you guys miss anything you may find yourselves in a predicament" I theories as Ace gives me a unimpressed look while Marco who stands nearby chuckles to himself saying "_____ has every right to be fussy this is the last time for who knows how long she'll see us" Ace frowns he knows that but looking at the figure who had looked out for him all this time he somewhat understood her level of concern ______ just wanted to make sure they'd be okay whether for their sake or for ____'s comfort.

Leaning back I look at my hands small yet strong gripping my hands into fists I look up trying to fight back the tears as I yell "GO ON!" Marco and Ace grin moving hugging me before turning and heading to catch up with the others. Whitebeard looks back with Thatch giving me a nod of confirmation as the Moby Dick let's loose her sails and heads out of the port.

The sky is clear with a cold breeze blowing to fill their sails as the water pulls and pushes against the ship until it's out of sight I turn back to the water raising one arm fist in the air a single spiral of white is all you can see before it's gone.

Walking back hands in my coat pockets I breathe out my air visible this cold morning the streets feel cold devoid of the warmth of life as I step small white glimpses of snow and ice can be seen as I walk back to the daycare my head hung low hair falling to cover my (e/c) orbs that glow with a unknown emotion.

"_____!" Drake calls running over looking through my hair I see his bright grin his hair styled in the normal format tho it looks like a mess like he just woke up looking at the sky it is almost 10am I guess being up in the morning something I usually don't do but for the white beard pirates i'd throw away my sleep schedule to see them off properly.

"How's my T-rex doing?" I chuckle arms outstretched as Drake hugs me resting his chin on my head as he grins saying "come on there's something Hawkins and I want to show you!" Drake grabs my hand as I grin following behind him as he transforms into his allosaurus mode as I transform into my leopard form as we do our little game racing to the daycare.

Drake is so fast now his charge may even surpass my max speed as we come close we both transform back I use the ground as a spring flipping mid air before transforming back as my foot touches the ground I spin bend back my hands move out my fingertips brush across the ground before pushing off bending my body I spin twisting mid flip my foot connecting with the ground as I spin and strike a pose grinning the thrill and exhilaration from the race making me smile.

Throwing my arms out I look down before my lips part a awed gasp escaping as I look before me tears well in my eyes as I grin a teeth wide smile as my words fail me. There in front of me standing on either side all of the kids,their guardians and waiting for me is not only Sengoku,Garp,Rayleigh and the former shichibukai there is one person that stands out.

"N-no way!" I call eyes glimmering tears falling as I run wrapping the person in a bone crushing hug as they grin before hugging me back "It's been a while _____!" looking up into their eyes I can't help but nod saying "how are you Zephyr?" the older male moves his bionic arm saying "i'm good I came to town already being judged by the marines when Sengoku helped sort things out" Drake and Hawkins stand at my side looking at Zephyr with caution.

"Don't worry this is Zephyr a former marine the leader of the NEO marines my former tutor" I say punching my fist into my palm a toothy smirk as Zephyr chuckles as he says "I hate all pirates however _____ taught me that if I hated all of the pirates i'd spend more life hating than doing anything to better the world around me" the old tutor of mine has downcast look he did a lot of terrible things as the Neo Marined leader.
