Epilogue

The sandy-haired man walked back into the bedroom. He gazed upon the beautiful, pale-skinned woman lying in their bed, still fast asleep.

He walked over to her and gently shook her in an attempt to wake her up. It was no easy task; his wife was a very sound sleeper.

Eventually, she responded. She opened her eyes, yawned, and stretched.

"Good morning, honey," she said, brushing the stray blue hair out of her face with her hand and smiling up at her husband.

"Baby... I'm sorry to wake you up, but... I've got a message for you."

He sounded slightly out of breath. She frowned. "What is it? Is something wrong?"

"No," he shook his head. "I don't think so."

"Well, tell me!" she demanded playfully.

"Okay, okay... It's a pirate ship. At the southern most docks."

"Pirate... ship...?" she said in confusion. Then she gasped and clapped a hand to her mouth.

"Can it be...!"

"Come on," he said, taking her hand and helping her out of bed. "Get dressed, and we'll go see."

Her mind started racing as she slipped into a simple dressing gown.

(After a year and a half... is this possible?)

Ha ha, surprise! There was an epilogue! A very short epilogue! Ah, I am so proud of myself right now... lol. Yeah, anyway, I have the first chapter of the sequel written already; I will post it next Saturday. I am telling you now, the sequel is much different from this story... In fact, the only connection between this fic and the sequel is that Luffy and Nami are still together. Besides that, everything is different, even the genre, which is primarily action/adventure, but do not worry; there will still be plenty romance, too. So, yeah... until next time!
