[Ace is really not used to this lifestyle. It’s been a few weeks and he still barely makes it out of his room before breakfast is over. He’s not used to following a strict code of rules and he’s especially not used to going to school. He’s never been to one before and has no idea what he’s supposed to do.
Instead of asking people for help he just does what he wants. Ace skips his ‘not fun’ classes, namely all of them, and lounges in the grass outside of Garden. Staring up at the clouds, he finds himself thinking about home. He’s worried about Luffy, the rest of his brothers, and the friends left behind. He’s worried about what happened with Teach…is he still a Warlord? Did he claim anyone else Ace held dear? Did everyone make it out of the battle alive?
Then on top of all of that, he’s dealing with the fact that three of his brothers are here in Garden too. Marco’s married? He’s got a kid? What the hell is up with that anyway? He had never seen Marco take it serious with anyone before.
Namur genuinely seemed happy he was around but always seemed to be running from mission to mission. Then there’s Thatch. Thatch was--Thatch. Ace didn’t even want to think about it.
When these thoughts become too much he grabs his T-Board and rides it through the halls, and the quad, and anywhere else he wants. Of course he gets in trouble for all of this but he really doesn’t seem to care. He just wants the freedom of feeling the wind in his hair. It reminds him of home. Reminds him of slicing through the waves on his skiff. A stab of longing fills Ace’s heart, but instead of dwelling on it, he turns to trying to drag others into his mischief.]

Hey Garden! Anyone up for some fun today?
