I can smell the chlorine as soon as the door to the local arena opens. The scent is strong. We haven't even gone inside! We're still at the bus! I grin as Sei' struts over to the cluster of Samezuka swimmers.
"Morning!" Mikoshiba Sei' grins.
"Morning!" we chime.
"Long time no see boys." Sei' grins.
"Not really." Mei murmurs.
"Shhh!" Ami-chan giggles.
"Yes really, since I got into that university and moved out of graduates house you should have missed me." Sei tussles his sister's amber mane.
"Have you boys been working hard without me?" Sei' asks the boys.
"Yes sir!" the team nod.
"You didn't have to come out here just to cheer for us Nii-chan." Momo sulks.
"What's the problem Momotarou? No need to be shy! You're only a true athelete when you surpass me!" Sei' enthuses.
"He's right you know." Mei-chan nods at her younger brother.
Sei' gives his little brother a noogie.
"That hurts!" Momo struggles. "That hurts Nii-chan. Huh?"
"Oh god no." Mei-chan mutters.
"He's seen her." Ami-chan rolls her eyes.
"She had better be ready to run." I giggle.
Sei follows his brother's gaze.
"Gou-san!" Momo exclaims.
"Gou-kun!" Sei' grins.
The boys look at eachother, shocked. Rin's facepalming.
We walk inside.
"AOI-CHAAAANNNN!" Aya-chan exclaims, she rushes to me in her ridiculous shoes. Jun right behind her, just so then he can catch her if she falls.
"Oh God, blue hair it must be Ryugazaki's." Mei-chan giggles with a winning smile.
"Aya-chan!" I beam.
"It's great to see you!" She enthuses.
"Aya-chan it hasn't been that long." I sigh.
"I know! I know!" she pouts. "It's still great to see you!"
"I'm glad you could make it." I nod.
"Let me see!" a voice whines.
"No way." I cock a brow. "Jun, are you on Skype with Johan?"
"Hey Aoi!" my cousin chirps through the phone in Jun's hand.
"Err." My friends are staring at me.
"Guys, this is my cousin Aya-chan and her husband Jun. On the phone is Aya's brother Johan who is training for the Olympics in America." I introduce.
"You've made so many friends Aoi-chan! I really shouldn't have worried about you." my cousin pinches my cheek.
"Hey Fubu', is Grace coming today?" Kaito asks.
"She has to work but she sends us luck. Katie sent us luck too." a faint blush stains the clementine haired boy's face.
"We're cheering for you guys today!" Johan speaks up.
"I don't think you guys are in the heats with the Iwatobi boys." Jun adds.
"I know Minishiba's swimming in Makoto's heat." Ami-chan sighs.
