"YES~!" Luffy cheered, still in his Pirate Hunter 'outfit'. "WE WON~!"

"YES!" Soul shouted. "I KNEW WE COULD DO IT!"

"Oh, that was close," said Crona. "I almost thought that we weren't gonna pull it off. I don't think I could handle that."

"Hey! Don't forget what we came for!" Ragnarok said.

"Oh, yeah!" Luffy said as he looked over to Bluebeard's soul. Soul, his scythe form returning to normal, reached his hand out and grabbed the glowing red orb.

"Another Kishin egg down the hatch," he said before he opened his mouth, preparing to swallow it.

"Soul, wait!" Luffy said. "We gotta bring that soul back to the barkeep guy on True Blood Island! He promised us a free table if we did!"

"GUYS!" Nami shouted. "GET BACK TO THE SHIP, NOW! HURRY, OR THE SUNNY IS SUNK!"

"Oh, yeah!" Luffy said. "Crona! Take us down!"

"Right!" Crona said.

With that, Crona, Luffy, Ragnarok, and Soul made their way back down to the Sunny. As they did, Luffy's Pirate Hunter outfit seemed to disappear until he back in his regular clothes.

"Ah, man," Luffy moaned. "I was hoping this would last longer!"

"No time for that, Luffy!" said Nami. "We gotta move! Now!"

"Oh, right!" Luffy shouted. "Franky! Coup de Burst, on the double!"

"You got it, Straw Hat!" Franky shouted at the helm. "Everyone, grab onto something and hang on SUPER tight!"

Everyone soon grabbed onto something: the railing, the tangerine trees, the swing tree, and the mast.

"Here we go!" Franky shouted. "Coup de…BURST~!"

BOOM! The Sunny's rear cannon went off, sending the ship flying with all her passengers aboard while the monsoon raged on with Luffy, Patty, Black*Star, Ragnarok, Mark, and Will cheering the whole way.

XXX

SPLOOSH! The Sunny landed in the waters near Dragon Fang Peak, away from the monsoon.

The Straw Hats and the DWMA Gang are safe from the violent storm.

"That was close," said Maka.

"You can say that again," agreed Nami.

"Anyway, I'm glad that's over," Soul said. "Now we can finally kiss this island goodbye."

"Wait!" Crona said. "We can't leave yet!"

"He's right," Zoro said. "There are lots of people on this island that Bluebeard has kept prisoner."

"Well, I'm sorry Crona," Franky said, "but I'm afraid we can't let them on Sunny here. There's not enough room!"

"Wait! I think I might have an idea!" said Maka. "Robin? I need to borrow that mirror in yours and Zoro's room."

"Of course, Maka," said Robin.

And so, Maka headed over to Robin's vanity mirror and proceeded to right the Death Room's number. No soon had she done so that Lord Death's image soon appeared.

"Ah, Maka!" Lord Death said. "Good to see you again! So, what's the scoop?"

"We've completed our mission, Lord Death," Maka said. "Bluebeard's soul, as well as the souls of his crew, have all been reclaimed."

"Excellent!" Lord Death praised. "Well done! As I'd expect from all of you! So, are you ready to come home now?"

"NO WAIT!" Chopper cried as he ran up to the mirror. "Uh…no disrespect, Mr. Grim Reaper, sir, but I'm afraid Maka and her friends suffered injuries during their battle with Bluebeard. Maka broke her leg, Shino hurt his ankle, and Black*Star's ribs are cracked. I think they should stay for a few days to rest."

Plus, that means they don't have to leave right away, Chopper thought.

"Of course," Lord Death said. "Their health comes first, after all."

"Lord Death, there's also another matter we need to discuss," said Maka. "You see, Bluebeard has been holding people captive on his hideout, Dragon Fang Peak, and we can't bring them all aboard the ship."

"Hmm…I see your problem," Lord Death said. "Perhaps I can make them a bridge portal so that they can return to their homes, safely."

"Thank you very much, Lord Death," Maka said gratefully.

"Wait!"

Just then, Spike entered.

"Lord Death, is my Mom there?!" she asked. "I need to talk to her!"

"She's right here, Sicily," Lord Death replied as he stepped aside, revealing Juliet behind him.

"Hi, Sicily!" Juliet said. "Congratulations on completing your mission!"

"Thanks, Mom," said Spike. "…Mom?"

"Yes, dear?" Juliet asked.

"Remember when I said that I wanted to let you know something, and then I said that I forgot?" Spike asked, almost guiltily.

"Yes," Juliet replied.

"…I didn't forget," Spike said. "The truth is…I didn't wanna tell you because I was afraid you'd be mad. You see…the reason why I didn't wanna come to school was because…I knew you were gonna be our new teacher and…I was embarrassed! There, I said it!"

A pause came.

"…well?" Spike asked. "Aren't you gonna yell at me or something? Ground me for life?!"

"No, Sicily," said Juliet.

"Uh…I'm sorry?" asked Spike.

"Sicily…I'm actually glad you told me," said Juliet. "It means that you're being honest, even though you know it might hurt my feelings."

"…you were probably hurt when I didn't come to class, weren't you?" Spike asked.

"I was a bit disappointed," Juliet said.

"I'm sorry, Mom," Spike apologized.

"That's all right, dear," Juliet as she placed her hand on the glass, and Spike did the same, "but next time, you should just come up and tell me the truth instead of waiting so long."

"I know," Spike said, "and I promise I'll do that from now on, and I'll come to class every day!"

Juliet just chuckled.

"All right, honey," she said. "I'll see you when you get home then."

"Bye, Mom," Spike said. "I love you."

"I love you, too, Sicily," Juliet said.

With that, Spike stepped away from the mirror, allowing Lord Death to take over.

"Now then," said Lord Death. "I'm sure there are more mirrors around their somewhere. If you can set up a mirror where the prisoners, I can make them a portal back to True Blood Island!"

"Thank you Lord Death," Maka said.

Inside the "belly" of the giant stone dragon…

"Okay, everyone make a single-file line!" Kid ordered.

"Soon, you'll all be home!" Patty added.

"No pushing, please!" Shino chimed in.

The Straw Hats and the DWMA Gang had freed all of Bluebeard's prisoners, and are now sending them through a single mirror, which Lord Death is using as a bridge portal back to their homes. One-by-one, the former prisoners made their way through the mirror, verbally giving gratitude as they did. Before long, only one remained: little Rachel.

"Okay, Rachel," Crona said. "Just go through the mirror, and you'll be home."

Rachel smiled gratefully at Crona before she threw her arms around him in a hug.

"Thank you, Crona," she said before she turned to the others. "Thank you, everyone!"

"No problem, kid," Luffy said. "Now go on. Get going."

"Yeah," Soul agreed. "Your parents are probably worried sick."

Rachel smiled before she walked through the mirror, and not long after…the portal closed.

"Finally, it's over," Usopp said.

"Not quite," Luffy said. "There's still one thing we gotta take care of, once we get back to True Blood!"

"What's that, Luffy?" Mark asked.

Luffy simply grinned.

"You'll see," he answered.

XXX

After the monsoon ended, the Straw Hats and the DWMA Gang sailed all the way back to True Blood Island, and once they got there…well, they were soon greeted by the whole town cheering.

"It's them! The people who freed our friends and family!"

"Our heroes~!"

"Thank you so much~!"

"Ugh…" Luffy groaned. "I hate being called a hero. That means I gotta share my meat with everybody."

"Oh, Luffy," Nami muttered in irritation.

"Anyway, let's go back to that bar!" Luffy said. "I'm starving, and that old guy owes me a free table!"

"Well, what are we waiting for?" Shino asked. "Let's get going!"

With that, the group headed over to The Tourniquet, and once they got there, they are soon met by Carl, as well as several other customers. However, what really surprised everyone is that Rachel is there!

"Crona!" Rachel cried as she ran to hug him.

"Hi, Rachel," Crona greeted her.

Soon, a woman in her early 30s and a man in his mid-30s approached the group.

"So you're Crona," said the man. "I'm Malachi, Rachel's father."

"And I'm Trisha," said the woman. "I'm Rachel's mother. We can't thank you enough for saving our little girl from those savages!"

"We're just doing our job, ma'am," Maka said.

"Hey, Luffy!" Carl called. "Did you really do it? I know all these people have been saying it, but you know I won't believe it until you bring me the proof."

"Soul?" Luffy asked with a grin.

Soul smirked before he walked passed Luffy and held out…Bluebeard's soul.

"Read 'em and weep," he said.

"So that's Bluebeard's soul," Carl mused in surprise. "Judging by the look of it, it looks completely tainted with evil!"

"You got that right," said Soul before he raised the Kishin egg over his mouth. "And now for the moment I've been waiting for."

Soul opened his mouth wide and dropped the soul into his mouth. GULP! After the scythe chewed the soul, he swallowed and let out a satisfied sigh.

"Hey, Carl!" Luffy said. "How about that free table, huh?!"

"Of course!" said Carl. "Hell, you can even eat as much as you want! It's on the house!"

"REALLY?!" Luffy asked, excitedly. "WHOO-HOOO! C'MON GUYS! IT'S PARTY TIME~!"

"YEAH~!" everyone cheered and with that being said, the festivities had fully begun.

Luffy stuffed his face with as much as food as he possibly could, and Nami, Zoro, and Black*Star are having a drinking contest…and Nami was winning.

"What's wrong, boys?" Nami asked. "Can't keep up?"

"She…isn't human…!" Black*Star said, already drunk after his 3rd mug.

"I know," said Zoro, who is down to his tenth mug.

Nami just laughed, almost drunkenly.

Meanwhile, Shino and Spike are sitting at a table, having a bit of a conversation.

"So that's why you didn't wanna come to class?" asked Shino. "Because you were afraid Miss Juliet would embarrass you?"

"If that you were mom, you'd be embarrassed too," Spike said, "even though your mom is…"

"Yeah," Shino said, not liking to talk about his mother's death at the hands of Arachne's minions and how he lost his left eye when he attempted to save her.

(A/N: MAJOR SPOILER! SORRY!)

"Sorry, Shino," said Spike.

"Nah, don't worry about it," said Shino. "So…what are you gonna do when we get home?"

"Take a bath, for starters," Spike answered, "and then I'm gonna drop Mark and Will at Mom's place…and give Mom a big hug."

Shino smiled.

"That sounds like a good idea," said the Scythe Meister.

Sanji and Blair are dancing together while Brook played a lively tune on his violin.

"You dance divinely, Blair," Sanji said.

"Thanks, Sanji," Blair said with a giggle. "You're not too bad yourself."

Blair sighed and rested her head into Sanji's shoulder.

"I wish I could stay here with you forever," she said. "Too bad I gotta go home with the others. I'll really miss you."

"Ah, and I'll miss you, as well, Blair my pet," Sanji said before he put Blair into a dip, "but know this. No matter how far away I am, just call for me, your knight in shining armor, and I'll come running to your rescue."

Blair giggled as Sanji pulled her up.

"Oh, Sanji," she said.

Meanwhile, Tsubaki is sitting at the table with Will in her lap, and she noticed that the little werewolf appeared to be forlorn.

"What's wrong, Will?" Tsubaki asked.

"Nothing," Will answered, sadly.

"Sure doesn't sound like nothing," said Tsubaki. "C'mon, what's the matter?"

"…when I found out you like Black*Star instead of me," Will began, "I got kind of upset because that meant I couldn't tell you how I feel. Tsubaki…I always had a bit of a crush on you since the day I met you."

"Oh, I see," Tsubaki said. "I see."

She then gently cupped Will's chin in her hand.

"Will, I'm sorry," she said, "but…just because I like Black*Star doesn't mean we can't be friends. Okay?"

Will smiled and said, "Okay, Tsubaki."

Tsubaki smiled before she leaned down and smooch! She kissed Will on his cheek, making him blush a bright red and his tail wag a million times a minute. Suddenly, SPLAT! A gooey, orange substance was thrown at Will's face.

"HAHAHAHAHA!" Mark laughed. "PUMPKIN PIE IN YOUR FACE!"

"MARK!" Will shouted as he chased his brother. "I'M GONNA GET YOU!"

Tsubaki couldn't help but laugh at the twins' antics.

"YOHOHOHOHO~!" Brook chortled. "Gather 'round, everyone, and join Soul and I in a song!"

The gang looked over and saw Soul sitting at a piano.

"Soul?" Maka asked. "I thought you don't like playing for an audience!"

"I don't," Soul answered, "but Brook talked me into it."

Brook then held up his violin and began to tap his foot three, and then began to play the tune of a familiar song with Soul playing along, and not long after, the skeleton began to sing.

"Yo-ho-ho-ho~, yo-ho-ho-ho~!

Yo-ho-ho-ho~, yo-ho-ho-ho~!"

Soon, everyone began to join in.

"Yo-ho-ho-ho~, yo-ho-ho-ho~!

Yo-ho-ho-ho~, yo-ho-ho-ho~!"

"We'll deliver Binks' Sake

Ocean breeze shall guide the way

Sailing forth atop the waves

Across the briny deep~!

The evening sun is dancing high

Painting circles in the sky!

As it sinks, the song of birds

Ring out across the sea~!"

As they sang, Black*Star, who seemed to be over how much alcohol he drank, had both Mark and Will on his shoulders while Kid, Liz, and Patty tried to do the Can-Can, and Sanji and Blair are dancing hand-in-hand.

"The hometown port is far behind

Out of sight but not of mind

Smiling wide our joyous song

Will boom towards the shore~!

Waves crash and they lose their hold

On sprays of silver and of gold

We pass this by upon our course

Towards the ocean's end~!"

As they song continued, Crona and Ragnarok couldn't help but bob their heads to the music a little, for they too found themselves enjoying the song, as well. Luffy and Nami had begun to dance along to the song, and Maka and Tsubaki are clapping their hands to the music.

"We'll deliver Binks' Sake

Causing trouble all the way

The pirate's life upon the sea

We've chosen one and all~!"

Shino is dancing with his arms hooked around Spike and Usopp as they continued to sing, and Franky and Chopper are doing the little basket-and-chopsticks dance, again, while Zoro had Robin sitting in his lap as they sang, and of course, Blizzard howled along (badly).

"When it's time to rest our heads

The sea's our pillows and our beds

We proudly bear the skull and bones

Upon our flags and sails~!

Raging in the far-off sky

A violent tempest we can spy

Beat the drums, our merry ship

Shall dance atop the waves~!

Don't let fear control your head

Or you may find yourself dead

So hold your ground and come the morn

You'll greet the rising sun~!

Yo-ho-ho-ho, yo-ho-ho-ho~!

Yo-ho-ho-ho, yo-ho-ho-ho~!

Yo-ho-ho-ho, yo-ho-ho-ho~!

Yo-ho-ho-ho, yo-ho-ho-ho~!"

Then, everyone began to sing softly.

"We'll deliver Binks' Sake

All along its merry way

Our journey shall take weeks and days

But never feel too long~

Waving our goodbyes to friends

Whom we'll never see again

Don't despair for they'll be there

Forever in our dreams~!"

Soon, everyone in the whole bar began to sing, even Carl and Rachel.

"We'll deliver Binks' Sake

Booming song shall clear the way

Adventure HO! We'll go while singing

Songs about the sea~!

One day we'll meet Davy Jones

And on that day, we'll turn to bones

Until that day, we'll wander in our

Never-ending tale~!

Yo-ho-ho-ho, yo-ho-ho-ho~!

Yo-ho-ho-ho, yo-ho-ho-ho~!

Yo-ho-ho-ho, yo-ho-ho-ho~!

Yo-ho-ho-ho, yo-ho-ho-ho~!"

As the song came to an end, everyone burst into applause as Brook and Soul both took a bow.

"Well done, Soul!" Brook praised.

"Thanks," Soul said. "This was actually pretty cool."

"YOHOHOHO!" Brook laughed.

As everyone continued cheering, Nami noticed that Crona and Maka had walked out the door while everyone's attention was diverted to Soul and Brook.

"That's odd," Nami said.

"You noticed that, too, huh?"

Nami turned to see Spike.

"Yeah," Nami said. "Where do you think they're going?"

"Only one way to find out," said Spike with a smirk.

XXX

On a hill in a park nearby the town, Crona and Maka sat there, staring up at the full moon.

"…what a day, huh?" Maka asked.

"Yeah," Crona answered.

Behind some bushes, Nami, Spike, and surprisingly Luffy are there, peeking through the leaves.

"Luffy, why did you come along with us?" Nami whispered.

"I wanted to see how Crona and Maka hit it off," Luffy answered, softly.

"This is it," Spike whispered, excitedly. "This has got to be Crona's biggest milestone, ever! No way am I gonna miss this!"

Back on the hill, Maka and Crona are still talking.

"Everything is so different here," said Maka.

"Yeah," Crona said. "Even the sun and the moon are different. The sun doesn't laugh and the moon doesn't bleed when someone dies."

"Yeah…but it's a very pretty moon," Maka said.

"Yeah," Crona agreed before he turned to look at Maka, "but it's not as pretty as you."

A pause…but then, the two Meisters leaned closely together. Luffy, Nami, and Spike gasped quietly.

"This is it…this is it…!" Nami whispered.

"C'mon, Crona…!" Luffy whispered.

"You can do this, little brother…!" Spike whispered. "You can do this!"

Before they realized…Crona and Maka's lips locked together in a kiss, much to Luffy's, Nami's, and Spike's joy.

So this is what true love is like, Crona thought. …I really think I can deal with this.

As quickly they kissed, they broke away.

"That was…amazing, Maka," said Crona, smiling and blushing.

"Yeah, it sure was," Maka agreed. "Also…Luffy, Nami, Spike! You can stop hiding, now!"

Luffy, Nami, and Spike came out of their hiding places.

"Dammit, I forgot she could sense our Soul Wavelengths," Spike cursed.

"You knew we were here the whole time, huh?" asked Nami.

"I did," said Maka with a knowing smile, "but I decided to let you guys go ahead and have your fun."

"Ah, who cares," said Spike before she ran up to Crona and embraced him. "I'm so proud of you, Crona!"

"Thank you, Spike," Crona said as he hugged his big sister.

"And good for you, too, Maka," said Nami as she put a hand on Maka's shoulder.

"Thanks, Nami," Maka said. "I'm actually proud of myself for letting Crona know how I feel…and I think Crona is, too."

"Yeah…and it's all thanks to Luffy," Crona said. "He's the one who I should really be grateful, since he's the one who said I should tell Maka how I feel. Right, Luffy?"

No answer.

"Luffy?" Spike called.

"He's gone," Maka said. "Where'd he go, that fast?"

Nami spotted Luffy, heading towards the park entrance…where Soul is waiting.

"Oh, look," said Nami. "Soul's here."

"I wonder where they're going," Maka said as she watched the two walk away.

XXX

Luffy and Soul walked down an open street together through town. There aren't many people out on the streets, either because most of them are at the Tourniquet, in bed for the night already, or some of them haven't gotten the news that Bluebeard has been defeated and are still hiding in their homes.

"So what made you leave the party?" Luffy asked.

"Ah, it got pretty crowded," Soul said. "Besides, I needed air."

"Ah," Luffy said. "Hey, Soul?"

"Hmm?" Soul hummed, quizzically.

"You and Maka and everyone else…you're all gonna be leaving as soon as Maka, Shino, and Black*Star are all better, aren't you?" Luffy asked.

Soul heaved a sigh.

"Luffy…you know we're not from this world," he said. "I know you probably want us to stay and all, but-"

"No, I don't want you to stay," Luffy said. "I know you guys aren't from around here…and Nami did say that you guys have to go home…" he then turned to Soul and smiled, "but I'm fine with it!"

Soul stared at Luffy in slight surprise.

"Although…I gotta admit," Luffy said, his smile falling just a bit, "I am gonna be sad when you have to go. After all…I never had a friend like you, Soul."

"…You consider me a friend?" Soul asked.

"Well, yeah," Luffy said. "I always have. What else would I consider you?"

Soul seemed even more surprised at this, but then he smiled at Luffy, who smiled back at him.

"Thank, Luffy," Soul said.

"Shishishishi!" Luffy laughed.

~One week later~

"Well, Maka, it's good to see you're doing better."

"Thank you, Lord Death."

"I guess this means you're ready to come home then, hmm?" Lord Death asked.

"That's right."

After one whole week of recovering from the injuries they had sustained during their battle with the Bluebeard pirates, it is finally time for the DWMA Gang…to head home.

The gang stood on the Thousand Sunny, in front of a mirror that Nami had set up for them, and Blair, saying her last goodbyes, held Sanji's face into her busty chest.

"Oh, Sanji~!" Blair cried. "I'm gonna miss you~!"

As much as Sanji loved the view…he pulled away from Blair and held her hands in his.

"Ah, Blair," said Sanji. "Parting is such sweet sorrow…but know this. No matter how much time has passed, I, Sanji, your Eternal Knight of Love, shall be waiting an eternity for your return! That…is a promise!"

"Oh, Sanji," Blair said, lovingly.

Mark made a gagging noise as he pointed his finger to his mouth, and then he and Will laughed…until Spike grabbed them and hoisted them up by their tails.

"All right, you chuckleheads," Spike said. "You've had your fun. Now it's time for us to get going."

"Thanks for letting us stay," Shino said. "Maybe someday, we can return the favor."

"Your friendship is reward enough," Robin said, kindly.

"Hey, Kid," said Usopp. "If we do see each other than, maybe we can have target practice, again."

"That sounds like an excellent idea," Kid said. "If we ever do happen to meet again, I'll look forward to it."

"Yeah, but next time," Franky began, "take it easy on the symmetry thing."

The Thompson Sisters are saying their goodbyes to Blizzard and Chopper.

"We're really gonna miss you guys," said Liz, holding Chopper in her arms.

"Yeah! Especially you, Blizzard!" Patty said. "You're so big and cuddly!"

Blizzard gave Patty a big loving doggy kiss.

"We're gonna miss you, too," said Chopper.

"Hey, Zoro!" said Black*Star. "Next time we meet, we should have us another rematch!"

"You got it," said Zoro with a smirk.

Tsubaki chuckled as she held Black*Star's hand, and Black*Star smiled at her.

"We've got a lot of training to do when we get home, Tsubaki!" said Black*Star.

"Right," Tsubaki agreed.

"All I wanna do when I get back is do nothing but eat candy, candy, and more candy!" Ragnarok said.

"Don't be surprised if you lose all your teeth," Spike said in a deadpanned tone.

"Whatever," Soul said. "I'm just glad this whole Bluebeard mess is over. I just wanna go home and take a nice hot shower."

"And maybe Crona and I will go out after we get home, huh?" Maka asked.

Crona just blushed and smiled. Maka knew it would take some time for him to get used to this sort of relationship.

"Take it slow," advised Nami. "That's the key."

"Thanks, Nami," Maka said. "We certainly."

"Well, we better get going then," Shino said.

Maka sighed before she turned to look at Luffy, who stared at her.

"Well…I guess this is goodbye," the Scythe Meister said.

"Don't say goodbye!" Luffy said. "You only say that if you're never gonna see somebody again…and I wanna see you guys, again!"

Maka smiled at Luffy before she walked up and pulled him into a friendly embrace, which Luffy returned, and since Nami knew that Maka was only being a friend, she didn't get jealous.

"See you later, Luffy," Maka said…a single tear escaping from her eye.

"You, too," Luffy said, a tear falling from his eye, as well.

After a moment, the two pulled away from each other…and the DWMA Gang began to walk through the mirror.

"Hey, Luffy!" Soul called, getting the captain's attention. "Good luck with your dream."

Luffy smiled and said, "You bet! Good luck with yours!"

Soul smirked before he turned and followed his friends through the mirror, and as they had all gone through…the portal closed behind them, thus sending the DWMA Gang back home.

A pause, but then Nami heard a soft sob. She glanced at Luffy, who is chewing his lip as tears cascaded from his eyes.

"I miss them already," he said as he choked back another sob.

"Oh, Luffy," Nami said as she held her captain in a comforting embrace. "I know. I miss them already, too."

"That doesn't mean they won't be back, right?" Usopp asked.

"And if they do come back, we'll be the first to give them a warm welcome," said Zoro.

Luffy smiled and wiped away his tears, and then he smiled.

"You're right," he said before he stood up proudly.

"All right, you guys!" he shouted. "Now that those Bluebeard Pirates are finished, let's set sail!"

"Yeah~!" the Straw Hats shouted.

GRRUUUUUUUUMBLE! Luffy's tummy let out a huge growl.

"But first, some lunch!" Luffy said. "Hey, Sanji! Food!"

"Yeah, yeah, I heard it all before," Sanji said as he headed to the kitchen.

And so, with the Bluebeard Pirates finally defeated, the DWMA Gang's mission was complete and they headed for home, and after having their lunch, the Straw Hats set sail from True Blood Island and continued their voyage through the New World. As they did, Luffy remained confident that this wouldn't be the last time he and the Straw Hats would see their new friends.

THE END

Finally! I'm finished! I've been working on this since July!

Anyway, this was really fun what me and yellowpikmin88 did together, and I hope we get to do something like this again!

Review, please!
