Daniel breathed in the air as he stood outside of his home, watching his father packing up their stuff into an RV his parents rented. He messed with his cap as his mother came over with a smile on her face.

"You ready for a weekend of fun?" She asked him, smiling brightly.

"Yeah, it's been a while since I've been camping," Daniel replied.

"It has, hasn't it? Well, this year your aunt is going to meet us there, and your friend, Haruhi and her father. Oh, it's going to be so much fun!" She exclaimed.

Daniel smiled at his mother's excitement before his father called them over. "Alright, everything's packed! Let's go pick up your friend." He told him as his mother hurried to the RV and climbed into the passenger seat.

Daniel hurried and climbed into the back as his father got into the driver's seat and started the vehicle before driving off.

They made it to the apartment buildings seeing Ranka and Haruhi waiting outside with some bags. Daniel let out a wave as his father got out of the RV to help.

"Hey, Haruhi." Daniel smiled as she got into the vehicle looking around in the RV.

"I never been in an RV, before." She commented before taking a seat next to Daniel.

"Yeah, neither have I. This is the first time we rented one out for camping. My aunt helped pay for it." Daniel told her.

"You've never really talked much about your aunt, what she's like?" Haruhi asked as this was going to be her first time meeting her.

Daniel let out a hum in response. "Well, Aunt Yua as you know owns her own bakery, where my dad is working with her now. She's a bit... Tough? I guess, she's a loud, outgoing, and bright person. I'm pretty sure she wrestled a bear one year." He told her making her sweatdrop.

"She sounds... Interesting." Haruhi commented before Ranka made his appearance.

"Oh! What a lovely RV! I can't believe I get to spend the whole weekend camping!" He exclaimed.

"Yeah, it was nice of your family to invite us," Haruhi told him.

"No problem, you just have to not mind my friends being there," Daniel told her. As much as he wanted fewer people there, he knows he hasn't been hanging out with them as much as he should.

"I don't mind, they're tamer than the Host Club, especially with their lack of focus on me," Haruhi replied as they started driving.

"Yeah, they have similarities, but they're different people. They won't bother you unless if it's a group thing." Daniel smiled slightly.

It took an hour of driving time to get to the camping site. He could already see Jiro along with Hikari and Yuri helping set up while Riku was with his aunt.

The RV parked beside his aunt's RV and Ranka got out of the vehicle followed by Haruhi then Daniel. "Oh, this is so nice! Isn't it Haruhi?" Ranka asked his daughter.

"Daniel! You're here! Finally!" Jiro exclaimed running over and hugging him before letting go. "Now we have more hands to help set the tents up." Jiro grinned.

"Now why don't you boys hold on a second, I want to see my nephew!" His aunt, Yua said approaching them and giving Daniel a big bear hug lifting him off the ground. "My you gotten big." She told him as Daniel felt like he was being crushed.

"M-Miss you too, Aunty." Daniel gasped out before the woman let him go making him take deep breaths. "Aunt Yua, this is my friend Haruhi and her dad, Ranka." Daniel introduced them.

"Nice to meet you, ma'am," Haruhi replied.

"Yes, thank you for allowing us to come camping with you all. I haven't been on vacation in such a long time." Ranka said shaking Yua's hand.
