Chapter 1

Finally! Three days until summer vacation. The first one since Shizuma confessed to me and graduated. Tamao has been depressed for so long, but whenever I asked her about it she would just say it was nothing and walk away. I feel like she has been avoiding me ever since the Etoile elections, but what could I expect. I left her during the elections and ran into the arms of Shizuma. She wanted to be the Etoile and she really deserved it too, but I thought of a way to make it up to her.

The next morning I woke up full of confidence that I would snap Tamao out of her sadness. I ran to her bed to wake her up, but she wasn't there. I asked around but no one had seen her all morning. When I realized it was time for breakfast, I knew I was bound to see Tamao. I found Tamao sitting near the end of the table and sat next to her in the available seat.

"Tamao, where have you been I've been looking for you all morning?"

"Oh, Nagisa. I was just taking an early morning walk."

"Hmm, whatever. I got something good that…" she cut me off as Hikari and Amane, the new Etoile, walked in to give us a morning prayer. After breakfast I caught up to Tamao before I lost her again.

"Like I was saying before, I won two tickets to Okinawa for one month and since you're my best friend and you've been feeling under the weather I thought I should take you with me. We can go as soon as summer vacation starts in the next two days."

I saw her face light up as a big smile grew on her face. Classes were finished for the term and club activities were over. She hugged me and began giggling with joy. "Nagisa-chan! Thank you!"

We spent the rest of the day chatting happily and writing a list of events to enjoy. Of course, buying new bikinis and hitting the beach was top priority. The next day, Tamao and I spent the entire time in our room, other than breakfast and supper. All we did was pack and think about all the fun things we were going to do. We had a sleepover with Tsubomi, Yaya, Chiyo, Hikari, and even Amane decided to come. It was the last day before summer vacation, so everyone was talking about their plans. Hikari and Yaya were going with Amane to visit her family in Honshu. Tsubomi was going home for the summer and so was Chiyo. It seemed like Tamao and I were the only ones who weren't using our summer to visit family. Everyone was so surprised to hear that Tamao and I were going to Okinawa. Hikari's cookies were so good! I had to savor them since they might be the last, since Hikari was an Etoile now, she would usually be busy.

We waved goodbye to everyone as they left and we went straight to bed afterwards. That way we won't be tired on the flight to Okinawa. Even in my dreams I was just imagining the fun me and Tamao were going to have. It would be even better if I could invite Shizuma. That's when it hit me, suppose while I'm here in Miator, Shizuma finds someone else. What if she forgets all about me? With these thoughts in my head, it was hard to get back to sleep.

Finally, it's summer vacation and I only got about four hours of sleep the night before. Tamao on the other hand was well rested and ready to go. She was more energetic than usual. Just the sight of her getting so pumped up made me happy and filled me with energy. With fists high in the air we yelled out in celebration. We caught a bus to the airport and the wait was about twenty minutes before we got on our flight.

During the flight Tamao and I just kept talking, it had been so long since I had seen her smile so big. The last time I saw a smile like that was before the Etoile elections, it was calming to see her so happy again. However, now I was a bit sad after thinking about how, right now Shizuma could be someone else, but I didn't let Tamao realize it. I didn't want to ruin her cheerful mood.

After about two and a half hours, we finally landed in Okinawa. The prize I won included free tickets to a two star hotel that apparently sponsored the giveaway, but when we got there, the place wasn't as much as I expected. It was small and the people who worked there were a bit mean except for the receptionist guy. He had short silver hair and beautiful amber eyes with a deep gaze. He reminded of Shizuma. As we walked up to his desk he greeted us.

"Good afternoon. My name is Shino. I'm actually just a summer student here on the hotel's employment program, but I promise you I'll help you in any way I can."

I passed him the tickets and he scanned them on a computer.

"All right, it seems to be real, so I'm guessing that this is Aoi, Nagisa party of two that won the promotional contest. Congratulations! I'll show you to your room."

We walked down a long hallway until we reached room thirty. He opened the room to demonstrate how to use the hotel key. You just swipe the card through the slot and the door opened. He handed me the key and Tamao and I went inside. We rested our bags down and wasted no time unpacking. As soon as we were done, Tamao and I left the hotel and immediately went shopping for new bikinis. We tried on so many that looked good, it was almost impossible to choose. In the end, I ended up getting a red one and Tamao bought a blue one that came with an Hawaiian skirt.

"Nagisa, there's a beach nearby, it says so right in this pamphlet." Tamao said with her face in her pamphlet.

"Is that so?"

"Yes! The pamphlet says it's a must visit while in Okinawa. Plus it looks so beautiful in the picture here, see!" Tamao started to get really excited, plus I wanted to see it too, so we went there first.

The sand was a golden yellow and the sun blazed over our heads. Tamao and I set up an umbrella and blanket and I immediately ran out to the sea. Tamao and I played in the ocean, splashing each other with water. When we got tired of swimming, we ran across the sand playing tag. As we stopped to rest a ball came rolling up to us and stopped right next to me. I picked it up and could hear someone in the distance screaming, "Sorry. We didn't mean to we were just playing." I turned to notice a familiar figure running towards us. I couldn't believe my eyes, so I turned towards Tamao to see if I was the only one who was shocked. Thankfully, I wasn't alone.

"Rokujou-senpai!" I yelled in shock.

"Oh, Tamao, Nagisa, what are you two doing here?"

"Nagisa won two tickets to Okinawa for one month, so that's how we got here. What brings you here?" Tamao pointed out.

"Actually I'm spending the summer with…" Miyuki was cut off by someone else who was running towards us screaming, "Miyuki! Did you get our ball, yet?"

Yet another familiar figure running towards us. I could feel my eyes widen as I slowly began to recognize the figure. I felt joy overcome me as I yelled out, "Shizuma!"

That's how I end this chapter. The reason I ended it this way was to show everyone that I do plan on finishing this even though I am working on another project with Fairy Tail. I'll try my best, unless I don't get reviews, Then I'll just stop writing and delete the story. If you don't want to see that happen, plz R&R. Thank you and look forward to hearing from you!
