Me: I promised myself I wouldn't ever do this.

I wouldn't ever make a remake, you know why? Because I feel as though if I make remakes of my old stories I will never be completely satisfied. And then, I'll just keep redoing them. If I do that, I'll never write anything new. But it's almost March. And here's what's so special. This March marks my second year on fanfiction! That's right, I joined in 2011. What was the first Yumeiro Patissiere story I ever published? Mune Kyun Tropical Island. And let me say, my writing has changed a LOT over the past 2 years. For that reason, to celebrate my 2 year anniversary on fanfiction, I'm doing a rewrite of Mune Kyun.

YAY! I hope the plot line stays relatively the same, but I may tweak it just a little bit. Partly because lots of it is filler and I want to focus mostly on the important parts.

I'm super excited to share this, because today is actually the exact day I posted the first chapter of Mune Kyun back in 2011! March 10th FTW! :) I hope you like it! And if you could... Reviews? :3

Okay? Okay. Here goes nothing! I hope you all enjoy.

I do not own Yumeiro Patissiere!

Mune Kyun Tropical Island

All Over Again

Chapter 1: What They Call, 'Vacation'

Kashino sat down on the sand stubbornly. "Guys, am I the only one who realizes how bad this is?"

No one really seemed to be listening to him however. Ichigo, who was as carefree and innocent as a teenager could be, was already running toward the ocean that lay before her. She obviously wasn't thinking, because she still wore her day clothes. She probably had 5 or so swimsuits inside her suitcase, but at the present moment she most likely didn't care.

Kashino's childhood friend and team mate, Andou stared at him, a smile on his face, "I don't understand why you're so upset. Just take a look around, everything looks great!"

Hanabusa, the last member of Team Ichigo, agreed with Andou, "Yeah Kashino, you always look at the dark side of things."

"Am I the only one who is still somewhat sane here? We're stranded on a desert island and all you guys care about is swimming and having fun?"

Ichigo popped up, out of the water. Her clothes were wet and clung to her. Most people would feel conscious about it. But not Ichigo. "Come on Kashino, you've gotta have a little bit of fun. You're going to worry yourself sick. You wouldn't want to be sick at a time like this!"

Kashino found himself blushing. What he didn't want to admit was that he had a major crush on the one and only Amano Ichigo. However, he was pretty sure she didn't know. He always wanted to tell her how he felt, but it never seemed to come up properly.

Ichigo meanwhile, pulled the elastics out of her wet hair and let it tumble down her back. This, paired with her smile and sunshine like glow made Kashino feel like he was blushing even more. If that was even possible.

Nonetheless, Kashino always felt as though he had a character to withhold. That happened to be the 'sensible one' or the 'devil' as Ichigo liked to call him, much to his dismay. "Amano, you do realize we're stuck here right? I think I have the right to worry, even just a little bit."

This made the brunette girl pout and she dove back into the water. She only popped up again, fairly close to where Kashino stood. Without so much as a second thought, she had grabbed his hand and was forcefully dragging him into the water.

"H-hey! Amano, stop it!"

But it was far too late for that. She jumped into the water, pulling him alongside her. They both resurfaced, Ichigo laughing, while Kashino spat water out of his mouth. Both Hanabusa and Andou watched amusedly from the shore. "I hate you all," The chocolatier said. Though, all 3 of them knew he didn't mean it. He never did.

Ichigo laughed and pulled him under again. This time, Kashino had been expecting it. He opened up his eyes under the water, and thankfully the water wasn't so salty that it positively stung his eyes. Ichigo must have felt the same way, because her eyes were also open and they both stared at each other. It felt very awkward for a moment. Especially for Kashino, who found Ichigo to look cute with her hair dancing in the water around her, giving her the appearance of a mermaid. She scrunched her face up after a while, making a face at him. It made him smile, if only slightly.

When they both resurfaced, Ichigo laughed again. To Kashino's own surprise, he laughed too. "Isn't it a lot more fun when you just forget and relax?" Ichigo asked him.

He had to admit it did. That however didn't fix their problem. They were still stuck on a desert island. They still could not find their captain. They still had no idea what to do. But Ichigo distracted him and made him not care so much about that.

Ichigo sighed and floated on her back, "This feels great."

"... I guess it does."

She swam around Kashino in circles, and he watched her. She looked so happy, which in turn, made him happy. She stopped behind him and he felt her fingertips press against his shoulders. It made him blush, just because he loved the cool touch of her fingers against his skin so much. He was actually quite lucky that she was behind him, because he started blushing even more when she started massaging his shoulders.

"Relax Kashino, relax," Ichigo said, her tone soothing, "Your muscles are super tense. Relax, relax."

So he did. He felt himself sinking into the feeling of relaxation, and he would never admit it, but it felt good.

"Hey Kashino?"

"Yeah?"

She kept massaging his shoulders. Kashino hadn't noticed, but he had closed his eyes. His voice sounded very different when he wasn't worrying. "Have you heard of the saying, 'things happen for a reason'?"

He nodded and said, "You're going to tell me getting stranded here happened for a reason."

"Am I that predictable?" He nodded again and she laughed. "I'm telling you though, by the end of this experience you're going to know this happened for the better. I promise."

"We'll see," He replied, "Ms. Predictable."

That's when she stopped massaging his shoulders and he opened his eyes to look at her. She had this mischievous smile on her face and she said, "Ms. Predictable? We'll see about that." Then, in the span of about a second, she splashed water at his face and kicked off, swimming ahead of him toward the shore, "Race you!"

Kashino had to take a moment to wipe the water out of his eyes. By that time, Ichigo was already halfway back. "That's no fair!" He yelled after her, though pushed off and began swimming after her.

Maybe the vacation experience wouldn't be too bad for him.

Me: Yeah, okay... So the chapter is kind of short. I get it xD

Considering a wrote a 1k long chapter out of a 230ish word chapter is pretty good in my opinion. Ehehe...

So, I'm on March break ALL this week, so I'm totally free! (I've got assignments, but WHATEVES, those can wait.) So YAY. I see a lot of fanfiction in this week's future. Hopefully.

Also, this story will be updated every Saturday. OH NO, MIKASHI'S MAKING A PROMISE. OH NOOOO. Actually, the story is already complete. I wrote ALL of the remake on my plane ride home from vacation. So, yeah, every Saturday. Who's the best author in the world?

ME!

I'M KIDDING.

I hope you guys liked it. This whole thing is just a huge wave on nostalgia to me xD.

Please Review!
