Ok, this literally just came to me like two hours ago and I thought it would be the cutest thing. It went a little more depressing than I thought but, eh, what can ya do, right?

The small group walked through the crowd of tourists and booths advertising the singular souvenirs and delicacies of Sabaody. Multicolored banners and delicious smells lured the overeager pirates from stall to stall.

Nami sighed in exasperation after the fifth time they had to stop. "Guys, it's practically the same stuff over and over! Hurry it up or we'll never get to the amusement park! Caimie wants to ride the Ferris wheel."

Caimie quickly assured her that she was in no rush and the boys could take all the time they needed, which only seemed to annoy the navigator.

Robin chuckled, "They'll have to wait on us when we go shopping afterwards, it's only fair."

"They better." The redhead mumbled.

After deciding on their chosen locations Caimie admitted she both wanted to ride the Ferris wheel as well as check up on local style in the shopping district. After much talk the group agreed that they'd spend the morning at the theme park and then go shopping in the afternoon, after lunch.

Nami was quickly regretting her decision at the boys' antics, but she did value Camie's company when they would go shopping so she bit her tongue and tried to steer them towards their actual goal.

She looked at a nearby clock and snapped.

"THAT'S ENOUGH! IF YOU WANT TO BUY SOMETHING DO IT NOW!" She poked her captain imperiously in the chest, her cowering crewmates hidden behind him. "It's already 11 o'clock! We're not going to have any time for rides at this rate!" Luffy's eyes widened at the truth of her words.

Robin cleared her throat in the pause. "'We'?"

Nami started at the slip. "I meant 'you'!"

Usopp snickered and received a glare and a punch in the arm for his troubles. "OW! QUIT IT, NAMI!"

Luffy jumped ahead and turned to them. "She's right! Let's go!" But paused in his run as he noticed someone standing in his way, staring at their group.

Half of them tensed at the stranger's unwavering, knowing, gaze, thinking him a bounty hunter or some such.

"Huh?" Their captain questioned. "Who're you?"

The thin man merely smirked but his focus was not on Luffy.

Nami suddenly screamed "OMYGODLAW!", making everyone in the vicinity jump, and practically lunged at the young man with the widest smile on her face.

He probably hadn't expected to be clobbered in the jaw.

Despite the surprise evident on his face he merely stumbled back a couple steps and cursed. A few more people in jumpsuits stepped out of the crowd but he held out a restraining hand.

"What the fuck, Nami?!"

"Don't you 'what the fuck' me!" She stepped in close, almost nose-to-nose despite having to look up, and jammed a finger in his chest until he winced. "We haven't heard a thing from you in years! All we get is an occasional newspaper article or a call from Sengoku! DO YOU KNOW HOW WORRIED ROCI HAS BEEN?!"

Law did look guilty at that. "I couldn't- Cora understands what I'm doing and that I can't contact you all if I want to protect-" He cut himself off with a curse as Nami soundly kicked him in the shin.

She let him hop around a few times before smiling sweetly at him. "I'm sorry, what was that? It sounded like you were about to go off on a melodramatic monologue. I know for a fact Bellamere definitely doesn't 'understand'."

Law paled. "…she was fine when I said I wanted to be a pirate."

Nami waved a dismissing hand. "Of course she was! She was fine with me too! But that's not what I mean!" She pointed at her brother again. "She wants to hear from you personally. She wants to know you're okay, in your own words, regularly. Is it so godamned hard to sit down and write her a letter? And don't tell me you don't own a transponder snail! Even we do and we're constantly broke." She waved an arm at her crew, standing silently behind her and watching the scene with mixed expressions of shock and amusement. Hachi looked slightly nervous after realizing where he recognized the man from.

One of the jumpsuited men, with sunglasses and a hat, took hold of the barely-passable conversation change and stepped in slightly between the furious redhead and his captain. "Hi! Speaking of which, nice to meet you. You seem to know our captain pretty well. How is that?"

She scowled at the intrusion but turned partially to address her crew too. "Guys, this is Law, my brother." She barely waited for their reactions before turning back to Law and his crew. "Law and company, this is my crew and friends."

The two groups nodded and muttered awkward greetings to each other until Usopp loudly muttered, "If this is how she treats her brother, I'm not looking forward to the rest of the voyage with her." And was hit in the head by Nami's shoe.

Nami sighed tiredly in the pause and glanced at Law sadly who took notice and shrunk back guiltily.

Robin clapped her hands, somehow making it sound louder than normal, and turned to their captain with a wide, serene smile. "Luffy, why don't we take an early lunch? I'm sure we could all use a break and we'll just scoot the schedule back a bit." She then turned to the other pirate crew. "Why don't you all join us? I'm sure we'd love to swap stories of our adventures through the Grand Line." She nudged Usopp sharply and he started both in pain and understanding.

"Uh- Yeah! We have tons of stories and we'd love to hear about your adventures! Right, Luffy? Chopper?"

"Yeah!" They both exclaimed.

Some of the Heart pirates glanced at their captain but he just shrugged and they walked out of the booths as a group. He and Nami kept to the back as their crews trudged on ahead at a safe distance and shared their awkward silence.

"Sorry." Law suddenly mumbled. When Nami didn't respond he continued. "Time passes really quick out here. Every time I thought of writing I'd convince myself not to for one reason or another. That was stupid. I'm sorry."

Nami abruptly remembered a faint memory of a violent encounter in a waiting room, eclipsed by childhood excitement. She felt a better understanding for her mother now.

They walked on for a few minutes before Luffy let out a shout and shot off towards a restaurant with Usopp, Chopper, and Camie in tow and they all followed after at a more sedate pace.

Nami wound her fist back and punched her brother in the shoulder, making him wince.

"Ow." He gritted out.

He was still rubbing his arm when she wrapped her arms around him, pinning his to his sides, and gave him a bone-crushing hug that made him grunt. She let out a loud sigh and loosened it. She felt lighter.

"It's good to see you again, Law."

"…yeah, you too."

When she finally let him go she turned away a second to brush a hand across her eyes and let out another loud sigh. This one was more dramatic, though, and the mood lifted. "Well! Let's go. You can treat us to lunch as an apology." She stated with a cheeky grin and a slap on the back. "Can't wait to hear what you've been up to these last six years."

She skipped ahead and left him to follow, shaking his head in disbelief but a soft smile on his lips.

I had thought of tons of scenarios of Cocoyashi village but most have already been explored to some extent. I thought, how would Nami and Law react to meeting at Sabaody after not seeing each other for so long? At first it was going to be all cute with Nami glomping him and whatnot, but it got very real very fast and I was like 'ok, whatever you say, Muse.'

So… Arlong probably attacked the island but Cora and an improved marine selection quickly foiled his plan. I guess Doffy really did get away so when Law became a pirate he lowkey tries to throw monkey wrenches in whatever the pink feathercoat is doing. Mostly to spite him, Doffy probably can't do much with the government aware of everything Cora told them.

But yeah, I'm not planning on dropping Siblings or Captain Strawhat, if anyone was worried. Just don't have much motivation to write as often right now. School and whatnot. But it comes and goes so keep an eye out!
