Important Notes:
In this story Tsukasa is a guy. Sorry female Tsukasa lovers. I needed another guy to balance out the hormones but the guys will probably end up swimming in estrogen anyways. Although with two and a half guys and three and a half girls the balance is almost even.
I'll leave you to figure out who I cast as the half girl/half guy personality. Hehe. ^_^ Although it won't be hard to figure out by the end of this chapter.
By the way if anyone who reads this story loves manga there is a wonderful one out there called X-Day. Anyone who has ever wanted to blow up something will enjoy it I'm sure. In this story BlackRose' violent tendencies were born from that I'm afraid.
And remember, Subaru doesn't go to school.
Akichi gave me the idea for this story and the entire plot. All I did was give it my own personal twists and write the darn thing. Watch out… something unexpected about the characters will appear in each chapter of the story.

How I Blew My Summer Vacation
Chapter One: A Hentai And A Most Unlikely Couple
By Samanda Hime-sama and Akichi
At different times on the first day of school and in different classrooms the same phrase was spoken by different teachers.
"Class, I'd like for you to write me a five page essay on what you did on your summer vacation."
From all students throats you could hear a groan building then escaping into the air.
"But Teacher-"
"And it's due tomorrow."
But from five students pens would come an interesting tale each wrote from their own point of view. In the end it was I who collected the other five versions of the story and blended my experience with theirs. The others insisted I write this account of what not to do on your summer vacation because I was the one who was changed most by my experiences with them when I was only seventeen. Surprisingly it ended well enough but you will know that soon enough.
Here is our story.
Isazaki Subaru
*************************************
"Oh C'mon Subaru!" Mimiru pleaded in exasperation. "You really need a break from The World."
"And it's summer vacation," Tsukasa gave Subaru puppy dog eyes.
Subaru gave in to those eyes like Tsukasa knew she would. "How would we get to the summer house?"
"It's really easy," Tsukasa said eagerly. "You see Bear-"
"Let me tell it," Mimiru ordered. "Bear's letting us take his van and since I'm the only one who has a driver's license he's holding me responsible in case anything happens."
"So we'll be staying for three days in Kyoto simply for rest and relaxation?" Subaru eyed Mimiru and Tsukasa suspiciously.
Tsukasa nodded cheerfully as Mimiru smiled so innocently. "Yep."
"Fine." Subaru sighed and hoped her mother said no. "Let me go ask my mom."
***********************
Two days later Subaru found herself on the road with Tsukasa, Mimiru and three recent additions added by Bear as chaperones. They introduced themselves by their online names. Kite, Mistral and BlackRose.
Five minutes into the trip there had already been a fight between Mistral and BlackRose about who would ride shotgun. (Kite has done something to piss both of them off.) Mistral won the coin toss and triumphantly sat in the front seat next to Mimiru. Then they were off.
Twenty minutes later all the windows were down and the van pulled over. By unanimous vote Mistral was dethroned and BlackRose was set in her place. 'Rose made a big deal out of the change, she took the passenger seat with loud laughter and tapped ash out the window.
"I never saw anyone chain smoke two at a time before," Tsukasa muttered in awe to Kite.
Kite grinned wryly. "She has more in common with this vehicle than us, my friend."
"What was that?" BlackRose's voice was suddenly heard, making the other two jump.
"Nothing, Rose. Just talking about car exhaust." Kite called to her and winked at Tsukasa who stifled a laugh.
"Nasty stuff. Smog your cars, people," Mistral said out of nowhere.
Kite, Mistral, Subaru and 'Rose argued in a friendly fashion about who was the best band but when it turned to food they adjourned to lunch. They ended up going to McDonald's.
"Eww. Eat that french fry, Mistral. You're such a hentai," 'Rose said as she eyed Mistral.
Mistral was attempting to suck out the inside of the fry without eating the outside. "What? The others don't have a problem with it. And I'm not a hentai."
The others had moved a table over after Mistral started being so embarassing. Tsukasa quickly looked away but couldn't seem to help the small sideways glances he was giving the older girl. Kite stared and seemed to find the table very interesting to look at. Both boys gulped, wiped blood from their noses and resolved to dream about it later. (More graphically I'm sure! And without fries.)
Mimiru rolled her eyes. "With the exception of the guys who are probably thinking hentai thoughts we are just pretending not to know you."
"Let's talk about something else," Subaru suggested.
"Great!" 'Rose exclaimed. "I found this great site online and I've been trying to get together the ingredients together for one of the projects. Unfortunately nitroglycerin is hard to get nowadays-"
Subaru, Mimiru and Mistral exchange glances and begin discreetly edging away from 'Rose as she burbles on with enthusiasm about her newest passion, The Anarchist Cookbook section 509R, How To Build A Bomb In Your Very Own Garage.
Kite sighs and mutters. "Oh no… I'm tired of hearing about bombs and her plans to blow up the school."
"What was that?" 'Rose loomed over him with an evil glare.
Kite cowered then straightened up when he realized what he did. "I said I'm tired of hearing about bombs! You're such an anarchist."
'Rose gasped. "I am not! I'm a Libertarian, not an anarchist, you- you… tree hugger!"
"Just because I'm a Conservationist-" Kite began but Mimiru interrupted.
"Time to go," Mimiru gripped Kite's arm and Tsukasa grabbed 'Rose. "The workers are going to call the police on us if we don't take off."
They saw a worker pick up the phone. "Ruuuun!"
"Hot damn." Akichi put down the phone and took off his hat. He scratched his head in puzzlement as he stared at the fleeing teenagers. "What lit a fire under their arses?"
He helped a customer then gave her a chaming smile. "Hey ma'am…did you want fries with that?"
