Chapter Four

Poolside Rendezvous

Tamaki woke up the next morning to the sound of an alarm. He looked at the clock and realized that it was 8:15 in the morning. He got up and dressed in long shorts and a polo and walked downstairs rubbing his eyes. He arrived in the kitchen to find his family around the table. He saw an omelet sitting on his plate. He sat down and took a bite of the egg savoring the juicy bits of bacon that were put in there with the eggs and cheese. He took a sip of the orange juice that had been given to him. They looked at him.

"We are going swimming today Mister Tamaki," little Angela said to the blonde.

"I know when exactly are we leaving to go swimming?" Tamaki asked after taking another bite of omelet.

"As soon as you are finished," Michele said, "I'm going to drop you off on my way to work and then you can take a cab home….unless you know how to drive Tamaki."

"Me know how to drive? No way I only know that you turn the wheely thing in the direction you want the car to go that's about as far as I go," Tamaki said. He didn't have the slightest idea how to work a car.

"Ok I thought so well be good for Mister Tamaki."

Tamaki finished his omelet and ran up the stairs to get his swim trunks. He exchanged them for his boxers and ran back down again ready to go. He was like a small child when he was going to the car.

"This is going to be so much I have heard of these pools where ryou have to pay a fee to get in but I have never been in one. Oh how I wish Hikaru and Kaoru could be here they would love this. It's going to be so amazing. I think this will be the trip of a lifetime."

"Really would you calm down?" Michele asked looking at the overly excited teenager.

"What kind of pools have you swam in Mister Tamaki?" Peter finally asked.

"Well my very bestest friend in the whole wide world Kyouya Ootori owns a resort and it has a bunch of pools in it so we go there," Tamaki said thinking of the day Hunny showed his martial arts skills.

"Wow that must be a nice pool," Angela said.

"It is very nice maybe someday you might get to go there," Tamaki said smiling.

"Will you be there Mister Tamaki?"

"Yes I'll be there and we can play together OK?" Tamaki said laughing to himself.

"Well guys we are here now," Michele said. All of the kids hopped out of the car and waved good-bye. Tamaki paid the fee for each of them and they walked in he was overjoyed at what he saw. There were many commoners playing with odd looking foam things in the giant pool of water there were lounges surrounding the whole area. Parents were chatting while watching their children. He was so excited.

"This is the most amazing thing I have ever seen!" he exclaimed as he walked around the pool. "People gathered in one place to enjoy an activity that they normally wouldn't get to enjoy! These commoners are so resourceful! I love it I think that I will have to have one of these built when I get back to the Estate. Let Operation Pool fun begin," he said smiling devilishly.

Peter gave him a look that said are you serious? "It's not that great Tamaki….it's just a giant tub of chlorinated water…."

That took all the fun out of Tamaki's over rejoicing. He went to part of the pool and started to grow mushrooms. Just then a life guard blew the whistle and walked over to him.

"Sir no growing mushrooms near the pool it is considered a hazard."

"Sorry it won't happen again," Tamaki said straightening up.

"Look at me Tamaki," Peter said as he was about to dive off the diving board.

"I shall save you Peter you shall not die under my care," Tamaki said running to the pool however he slipped and fell into the pool. Some people gave odd glances wondering why the boy was being so protective of a kid going off a diving board. He made a huge splash which caused Peter to laugh as he jumped off the board. Peter and Tamaki resurfaced at the same time and Tamaki worriedly swam over to the boy.

"You could have been killed what did you think you were doing?"

"I was going off the diving board Mister Tamaki."

"Diving board? What's that?"

"It's a springy plank that we jump off of and try to do tricks for fun."

Tamaki's eyes gleamed and he put up his finger finally understanding. "I see this kind of fun from the commoners I think I shall try this diving board." He got out of the pool and went to the diving board. He knew how to dive so he jumped twice and dived off the board, however he belly flopped making a smack sound as he hit the water. Some people around gasped and others gave pained looks on their face. Tamaki came up and his front was totally red. There were some girls laughing at him. He went a deep scarlet only adding to the hilarity of the situation.

"It's not supposed to be like that Mister Tamaki," Peter said laughing with Angela by his side.

"Well I did try and….oh god this hurts. I think I might get out for a little." Tamaki stepped out of the pool and went to get his cell phone from the chase. He picked it up and texted Kyouya it was only 11 in the morning in New York and he was sure that Kyouya would still be up studying.

K-

Just tried this new thing called a diving board. I'm all red now but it was fun. I think I might be getting the hang of the commoner pool. This is better than I thought.

-T

Kyouya looked at his phone it was late but he was still up doing his homework. He laughed a bit as he read Tamaki's message. That idiot. 'Even I know what a diving board is,' Kyouya thought as he tyoed back his answer.

Tamaki looked at the message Kyouya had sent him and chuckled.

T-

Its called a belly flop. You seriously didn't know what a diving board was? You are an idiot. And getting a hang of the commoners pool? There is no such thing. The way you get used to it is by going into the pool and swimming. You silly fool I am going to bed.

-K

Tamaki put the phone away in the pocket of his pants. He looked up to see a girl facing him. She didn't seem to be looking at him but she didn't seem to be looking at anyone else. 'I know that body from somewhere,' Tamaki thought going a bit closer. He looked and saw the pale skin. And the dark hair. No he had to be imagining things this couldn't be her. She turned to face him and he knew. It was her. He got a little bit closer and now he knew for sure.

"Jacqueline?" he asked. She turned to face him fully.

A/N: and there you have it chappy four tell me what you think!
