Misaki's P.O.V.

"Shouldn't we be taking you somewhere?" Misaki said in Mikey's ear, eyebrow raised. "It is your birthday, after all." He accelerated his CB205T, causing her to squeal and tighten her grip around his waist for fear of falling off. She flicked his head and attempted to calm down her racing heart. "Jerk! You did that on purpose." 

He peered over his shoulder towards her and chuckled. "Maybe." Then, he directed his eyes forward. "It's just another day to me. Besides, I've been wanting to go to the beach for a while now." 

She rolled her eyes but nodded in understanding, before resting her head on his back. A sigh left her lips as she enjoyed the warmth of the sun hitting her cheeks, causing a soft smile to appear on her face. 

They had been riding for a while now, as Mikey wanted to go to Onjuku beach. He invited the leaders of Toman as well as Emma, Hina and Takemichi. A couple others were going to meet them there, too. 

It's been so long since I've been to the beach...which means it's been a long time since I've worn a bikini in public...I shouldn't have let Emma and Hina push me into it, ugh...

They road for a bit longer and finally made it to the beach, entering a more secluded area (which she was secretly thankful for). Everyone parked their bikes and grabbed onto their things before waiting on Mikey.

"Where to, Mikey?" Misaki then asked, shifting her backpack to her front to grab some water and throw her sneakers in. 

"You see that cliff over there? That's where we should go! Cliff-diving off of that is fun!" He exclaimed, a huge smile on his face. Misaki couldn't help but smile back and she nodded, before sliding her bag back onto her back

They began to walk towards the cliff, everyone following and having their own conversations. 

"There! The perfect spot!" Misaki then heard Emma yell. She ran towards a slightly shaded area thanks to some trees and the cliff. "Come on, Misaki! Come sit out with us!" She yelled, turning and motioning to her. 

Misaki nodded and jogged through the sand towards her. Emma laid down her beach towel, with Hina placing hers next to it. Misaki laid hers down next to Hina's, and dropped her bag in the sand. 

"Did either of you bring sunscreen? I totally spaced and forgot..." Misaki said, fiddling with the hem of her swimsuit cover.

Hina nodded and rummaged through her bag before handing her some.

"Here you are! Use as much as you need." 

Misaki nodded and smiled. "Thanks, Hina!" 

She began to apply to sunscreen to her face, legs and arms, massaging it into her skin. She looked up at the sky, hovering her hand over her eyes. 

"Wow, suns out with a vengeance today, huh?" She murmured to herself, already feeling the sweat beginning to form on her brow. 

While she had been applying sunscreen, Hina and Emma took their swim covers off. Hina wore a frilly pink one piece while Emma wore a light blue bikini. 

"It's too hot to keep that cover on all day, Misa." Emma noted, eyebrow raised. Misaki groaned.

"Why did I let you pressure me into buying this..." She whined. Emma smirked and crossed her arms.
