Author's note

Hey! This is my very first attempt at writing a fanfic!

I usually only read but I tried really hard on this! Please give me any suggestions for improvements and constructive critisism! I'll try again with changes you suggest!

Thankyou for reading my fanfic!

Chapter 1

It was warm again today. Ahh, for all my complaining when it's cold, I don't particularly love the hot weather either. It's sticky and uncomfortable, that's for sure, but the main reason I don't like nice weather is…

"Good afternoon, Minions!" cried Haruhi, as she slammed the door into the wall (as per usual…), "Since today's such great weather, club activities will take place outdoors!" She grinned.

…

That's why.

Whenever the weather improves, so does Haruhi's ability to drive the rest of us into the ground. On the contrary, cold and miserable weather puts her down. Is this girl solar powered or something?

Asahina-san, Koizumi, Nagato and I had already gathered in the clubroom. Asahina-san had skipped the maid outfit today (I can imagine it's uncomfortable in this heat) and was serving drinks in her ordinary uniform. Just as well, I guess. Goodness knows where Haruhi planned to drag us today.

Just imagining it, Asahina-san at the park in that sweet maid outfit, all shy and nervous… ahh, it sends my heart a flutter! Or maybe that bunny costume… I'm sure that would be better to wear in this heat.

Anyway, I'm getting off topic. The point is, the sun was out and Suzumiya had another stupid idea. I'll give you three seconds to figure out what it was. Three, two, one…

"We're going swimming!", the crazed overlord screamed.

My first thought was, huh, this may actually be turn out to be pretty normal activities. My second thought was, huh, the pool will be nice in this weather. I cursed myself when my third thought came along… swimsuits.

Now, I've never considered myself perverted, but instantly, ideas sprang to mind. Nagato in a one-piece swimsuit, Asahina-san in a skimpy bikini and Haruhi in a tankini with a towel wrapped around her shoulders… the three of them splashing together in the pool and jumping around… it seemed like heaven.

That is, until the brigade chief herself slapped me hard around the face.

"Idiot! What do you think you're doing, making that face at me! Pervert!" She stuck her little pink tongue out at me and stalked off to talk to… or molest…. Asahina-san. Koizumi was shaking this head at me. I knew what he was thinking. Don't annoy Haruhi. I know already.

So with that, we were off to the pool. For a moment I considered the possibility of Haruhi dragging us to the school pool, but instead we were taken to the public pool, and Haruhi snatched my wallet to pay for entry.

"Your treat today, as punishment for your disgusting thoughts," She complained. I couldn't help but suppress a little smile as I thought how ironic it was that I had the least money but always ended up paying. From there, we split to go and change.

By the time we'd done, my hopes of seeing anything other than Koizumi in short shorts had plummeted. Sorry Koizumi, just not into that. So when we stepped out, I was pretty impressed by what I saw.

I'd never seen Nagato look so cute - even though she was only wearing a school swimsuit, and already reading a book away from the pool, she had a certain Lolita image about her today. Asahina-san looked humiliated, but her frilly pink bikini was amazing.

But, this time, I was far more interested in Haruhi. I mean, everyone who's ever met Suzumiya knows she's beautiful, but I never thought… Her hair was tied in a ponytail down the side of her shoulder, and she wore a blue bikini with a white sarong. She caught me looking and blushed slightly before stalking off. Man, that ponytail…

Asahina-san padded gently over to me, before whispering, "K-Kyon-kun…um.." her cuteness was, however, interrupted by Haruhi's impatient demands for everyone to join her at the poolside. I took a step toward the pool, turned to Asahina-san and said, "We'd better go over there before she loses it completely," before slumping over to Haruhi.

She grabbed my arm the second I was within reach, and before I had chance to react I was being dragged with her as she dived into the pool.

"Ah! Haru-" was all I managed to get out before my mouth was filled with chlorinated water. Yuck. Thanks, Suzumiya.

Anyway, after I'd heaved myself back to the side of the pool, I looked up to see our brigade chief grabbing Nagato's arms and trying to heave her off the chair she was rooted to. I kind of hoped she would give in - it would be nice to see Nagato jumping and playing like the rest of us. I'd have encouraged her to join us, but Asahina-san had knelt down next to me at the poolside and was trying to talk to me.

"…On-Kun?" she was saying.

"Ahh! Sorry, Asahina-san, I got distracted. What's up?" I dragged myself out of the water and sat on the poolside with her. In the distance, I could hear Koizumi trying to convince Haruhi to let go of Nagato.

"U-Um… well, it's embarrassing, but…" she gulped, "I-I can't swim."

I paused for a moment. Then chuckled.

"Is that all?" I asked, "If that's the case then just stay in the shallow end."

She blushed slightly before glancing over to where Haruhi, Koizumi and Nagato were. Ah.

"Oh, I forgot about Suzumiya. She's sure to try and throw you into the water or something, huh?"

A small squeak from my right made me sigh.

"Fine," I muttered, putting my hand on her head, "I'll make sure nothing happens, okay? I promise."

Ahh, Asahina-san, don't smile at me like that. You're far too cute.

And, with a little squeak, she hopped up and bounded off to the others.
