Emiya residence

"Shirou." said Saber.

"What's wrong, Saber?" asked Shirou turning around to face the blonde.

"A strange person came to the door and said that this was for you." said Saber handing Shirou an envelope.

"That would have been the postman her delivers the mail every week." Shirou said as he opened the envelope and began reading the letter.

"A letter…?" said Saber hovering over Shirou's shoulder trying to read the writing on the small piece of paper.

"Yeah, it's from Medea." said Shirou.

"Medea, that's Servant Caster." said Saber.

"Yep," said Shirou reading through the letter, "hot springs?"

"What's that?" asked Saber.

"It's a place you go to relax." said Shirou, Why would Caster invite us to a hot spring?

The letter said:

Dear Master and Servant,

I wish to invite you on a small vacation to the hot springs for one week, so that you can settle aside your old rivalries and such. More importantly I want you to all have great time and I am interested in seeing how the bond between you has changed. (If you are just by yourself being a Servant then, oh well.) I do hope you will come.

Signed Medea.

"Well Saber, looks like we're going on a vacation." Shirou proclaimed.

"It sounds nice." said Saber.

Tohsaka residence

"News (click), news (click), more news," said Rin as she clicked through the channels on TV, "Archer why is there only news on TV?, did you rewire it again?!"

"It's 2 o'clock Rin all there is on TV is news." said Archer from in the kitchen.

"I suppose." she said.

Knock, Knock!

Someone was at the door.

"I'll get it," said Rin turning the television off and heading towards the door.

She turned the handle and opened the door with a creek to reveal the young postman that delivered Rin's mail.
"You know I do have a mail box." said Rin.

"I know that, I prefer to give you the mail personally." he said with a grin.

"Yes, okay." said Rin taking her mail off the postman.

"Would you mind if I came in for a short while?" he asked.

"Ahh, well…" said Rin.

"Yes she does mind, so if you would so kind enough and leave." came Archer's voice.

"Ahh, I didn't realise you were living with anyone Miss Tohsaka…" he said quickly.

Thankyou Archer, thought Rin with a sigh of relief.

Archer stood behind Rin and glared at the overly-friendly-postman.

"I think I should be going now, bye!" he said bolting away from the house.

"Archer, um…" began Rin.

"Thank me later." he said heading back to the kitchen Rin following behind.

Rin started opening her mail once in the kitchen.

"Medea?, as in Caster?" said Rin out aloud.

"Hmm?"

"We have a letter from Caster." Rin said to Archer.

"We?" said Archer looking at the letter.

"Well it's addressed Master and Servant," said Rin, "she want's us to go to the local hot springs this Saturday."

"Hot springs, I don't think so, you go have fun now." he said.

"Oh no you don't you're coming with me." said Rin sternly.

"Why must I Rin?" asked Archer, "it's not like it would make a difference if I went or not."
"Fine, if you're willing to let thousands of rude, creepy men and Servants peep on me be my guest." she said.

Archer blinked, that would be pretty bad, after that guy just now I don't think she could defend herself against any pervert. He sighed,

"Very well, I shall come along, but I'm not happy about it." he said folding his arms in front of himself.

"Thankyou Archer," said Rin heading back into the lounge room. "You're such a good sport." she added patting him on the back before leaving the room.

This is not over Rin, thought Archer.

Saturday (Hot spring day)

Emiya residence

"Shirou come on we'll be late!" called Saber.

"Right, coming!" he said hurrying to the front door where Saber was waiting, "righto lets get going."

"Do you know where this hot spring is?" asked Saber.

"Ahh…" crap I have no idea, thought Shirou.

"Perhaps you should phone Rin." suggested Saber.

"Good idea." said Shirou picking up the phone and dialling in Rin's number.

………………………………..

Tohsaka house

"Hello Tohsaka Rin speaking," said Rin after answering the phone, "Oh hi Emiya-kun."

"Hi Tohsaka, you don't know how to get the hot spring do you, Saber and I don't know where it is." came his voice through the phone.

Rin couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"It is not funny so stop laughing damn it!"

"Oh, I'm sorry stay home we'll come and go with you." said Rin after controlling herself.

"I'm sorry, we?" said Shirou confused.

"Me and Archer, stupid, we'll be there in ten minutes, bye." said Rin hanging up the phone.

"Who was that?" asked Archer who had walked in the room.

"Emiya-kun, he didn't know how to get to the hot spring." said Rin.

"Typical of that boy." said Archer.

"I told him we'd be there in ten minutes," said Rin, "can you get us there by ten minutes?"

"I can get us there by five." said Archer smugly.

"Show off." said Rin.

Back at the Emiya house

"So did Rin say where it is?" asked Saber watching Shirou put down the telephone.

"She said they'd be here in about ten minutes." said Shirou.

"They?" asked Saber puzzled.

"That's what I said to Tohsaka, her and Archer are going to the hot spring as well." said Shirou.

"How in the world did she convince Archer to go with her?" Saber said absently.

"Who knows, Tohsaka can be very persuasive." said Shirou.

"Where here!" called Rin from the front door.

"What?!, you said you'd be here in ten minutes." said Shirou as he and Saber hurried to the front door.

"I thought so to but it turns out a certain some, not mentioning names, Archer, can fly a lot faster than he actually says." said Rin gesturing to her Servant who standing behind her.

"Oh well that doesn't matter," said Shirou, "so can you take us to the hot spring?"

"Yep, we'll get you there," said Rin, "Saber, can you still run and jump really fast and high?"

"Yes." Saber said simply.

"Good, you'll need to so you can keep up with us." said Rin heading out the door with Archer.

"Come on hurry up!" she called.

"Coming!" they said.
