Risen in the whole glory of its season, sun had no mercy upon the earth. It radiated all of its burning love into the atmosphere. Early in the morning, we were up and packing for another little outing. Today's goal was the lake. Water, freshness and coolness, here we come!
"I haven't brought a swimsuit with me.." Katie chirped, ducking her head as she delved though her suitcase, again and again until there was a huge mess on the floor.
"You can borrow mine." I state, smiling at the girl as I start picking her clothes up off the floor. Then I look upon my body and at Katie's after. "I think Aoi's would fit you better, actually." I mused.
"Aoi what?" Aoi turned to me, lightning fast.
"I just said you should lend Katie one of your swimsuits, she hasn't brought one." I explained.
"Uh, sure. But didn't Fubuki tell her to bring one?" She asked in reply.
I shrugged. "He may have forgotten. Besides, a guy asking a girl to bring a swimsuit is kinda.. awkward." I cock a brow, then resume cleaning up.
"Oh, let me---" Katie made her way through the pile of clothes, carefully leaping over each. She bent over, about to pick them up when Grace stormed into the room.
"Are you girls done yet? The boys are wai....ting..." She quietened, looking at Katie with a killer's smile. A vein popped on her head. And another one, and third and here comes one more.
"Tehee.. Sorry, I'll clean up when we come back from the lake, I promise." The peach girl vowed, grinning.
"No." was Grace's answer as she folded her arms and and sent a cold glare to the girl. "I know you too well to believe that, so you're gonna clean up right now, meanwhile Aoi and Kyoko will go with the others."
"Are you joking?" Katie chuckled weakly.
"I am serious. Don't worry, I know this is a matter of fifteen minutes to you. Besides, you haven't even changed into a swimsuit yet, you'll slow others down."
"But neither Kyoko nor Aoi are wearing swimsuits right now.."
"I am." I stated, lifting my shirt up, revealing my fuchsia two piece swimsuit in white polka dots. "Aoi is too." I claim and pull the back of her shirt up. She's wearing a lavender two piece with black lining.
I kept forgetting that I spoke to Katie in English and that right now Aoi had no clue what I was talking about. She flinched, blushing violently when suddenly...
"Are you ready to go yet?" Makoto poked his head through the widely open door (by Grace, she had just entered, duh.).
Nice timing, Makoto. Now it looks like I'm peeling clothes off your girlfriend, for, some, weird, reason. The green eyes squinted and blush covered his face as he waved his hands in front of his face. "I'm very sorry! Should have knocked--- the door was open---"
"We understand, Makoto! Give us five more minutes!" I pleaded as a sulking cutely and blushing Aoi tucked her t-shirt in place.
I gave her an apologetic smile and we headed out. "Are you sure it's okay to leave Katie-chan here?" Aoi asked Grace.
She nodded, glancing at the reluctantly collecting the clothes girl. "She'll catch up to you really soon."
"Okay." Aoi and I chanted in unison. "Katie, you may take any swimsuit you like from my bag." Aoi said to her and we left.
~~~Timeskip~~~
"Ta-daa!" Fubuki opened his arms and spun around, then motioned us to the cliff high above the lake. We gasped, all looking at the astonishing view exposing in front of our eyes.
