"Hey! Put some more effort into it!" Coach Sasabe instructed. "Nagisa, you're bending your knees too much. You don't need such a powerful jump for a relay dive." He said. "Makoto, your form is terrible! You're not using your shoulders!"

Nagisa climbed on the ladder to get out of the pool. "I'm glad that Goro-chan agreed to coach us, but his training regimen is tough."

Makoto followed suit. "That's why everyone calls him Goro the demon."

"Rei, if you can't coast into the wall, throw in one more kick! Not like that! Haruka, watch your timing as you fall in!" Goro instructed. "No!" He said, irritated. "You have to watch Rei more closely! Come on! Hikaru, bend your arms a little and don't lift your head!"

"You guys don't know what you're doing." Sasabe told them with a sigh. "You leave me no other choice." He showed them cameras he set up. "How do you like this?!"

All members gasped in awe.

"I see. This lets them check their form from multiple angles." Gou said.

Haru nodded at the screen and went to go and prepare to swim in the pool.

"Haru-chan's being very proactive." Nagisa observed.

Haru dived in the pool.

"Yes, that's the way!" Coach Sasabe told him.

"Good job, Haru!" Hikaru cheered.

Nagisa saw that Rei was staring at the pool. "What is it, Rei-chan?" He wondered.

"His form may be perfect now, but this isn't the way I like to see Haruka-senpai swim." Rei replied. "It was more beautiful before."

After practice, they had all went to Coach Sasabe's house to eat a hot pot. Fans were on but everyone was dying of heat. Hikaru was glad she wore a tank top and was glad that her hair was short. Since it was short, the ponytail wouldn't be sticking to her neck. The hot pot that Coach Sasabe had made was so delicious that Hikaru found herself going in for seconds. After they ate, they did some fireworks.

"I haven't done fireworks in a long time."

"Me neither."

"I haven't done them at all…"

"...Eh!?"

"Okay, well you lit it up and hold it downwards." Haru instructed.

"Okay." Hikaru did as she was told. "Oh! It's lit, it's so pretty!"

Haru and Makoto smiled.

Gou had found a picture album of the swim club when they were in elementary school. Hikaru wasn't in any of course, but she was interested in seeing her teammates when they were at the old swim club! She had saw Rin in the pictures, and she remembered what he had told her.

Rei was also in none of the pictures, so Hikaru wasn't the only one. She didn't feel as bad. But in the ones from the training camp…she was in most of. Hikaru didn't care about the past so much as the present. She was going to make her memories with the swim club now and not be jealous of what happened in the past. She met so many amazing people that were really nice to her and who cares if they're mostly all boys? So she can't swim in a relay, being on a team that supports her is enough.

Another day at practice, Coach Sasabe was cheering them on.

"Okay boys and Hikaru! Get pumped! Alright! Keep it going!"

Hikaru practiced for her 100m event while Rei, Nagisa, Makoto and Haru practiced for their relay.

"Come on, Rei. We need to practice our exchange." Haru told him.

"Yes!"

"Okay, I've taught everything I can! All that is left for you is to perform your best!" Coach Sasabe exclaimed, raising his left arm in the air.

"Fire!" Nagisa chirped, jumping in the air.

"That banner is really embarrassing." Rei commented.

"Don't say that, Rei! Gou-chan and Chigusa-chan worked hard on that!" Hikaru told him.

Haru saw a familiar drawing of Iwatobi-chan. "That drawing…"

"Oh! It's the one Haru-chan drew!"

"I didn't think it'd be used for this." Haru said.

"It's a very nice drawing!" Hikaru complimented.

Haru smiled a bit. "Thank you."

"Well, we'll head up there tomorrow morning." Miho said. "Get plenty of rest at the hotel near the venue."

And with that, the swim club members got on the bus and they were driven to their hotel. Hikaru wished one of the girls was coming; at least she'd have someone to sit next to. Haru and Makoto sat together and Rei and Nagisa were sitting together while Hikaru sat alone in a seat next to them. Hikaru was reading her book. It was getting so good and she was halfway done.

"Hikaru-chan! Come over here and sit with us!"

"This seat is made for two, Nagisa-kun! We'd all be squished and that's not beautiful!"

"Well then Rei-chan, you're going to have to sit on my lap then~"

"What?!" A blush crept up on his cheeks.

Hikaru smiled happily and went over.

Rei sat on Nagisa's lap and was flustered the whole time.

And it was then and there that Hikaru shipped those two.

After arriving to their destination, they went to go and get lunch and sightsee. After finished with sightseeing, the bus took them to where their hotel was and they got settled in.

Haru and Makoto shared a room; Rei and Nagisa shared a room.

Hikaru was alone in her room, which she didn't mind. The rooms that the boys were in were next to her anyways. If something happened, she'd run over.

After getting settled in, the swim club went to a restaurant to eat dinner. Hikaru had really enjoyed it; she had found that it was really good. After eating, they had gone to see the pool that they were swimming in.

Well, at least the outside of it. They weren't allowed to see the actual pool because it was closed off.

"I guess we can see it tomorrow."

"Yeah…"

It was now about 9pm. Each swimmer was in their bed, tucked in. It may have been early to go to sleep but they needed their rest for tomorrow. After finishing the chapter she wasn't able to finish on the bus, Hikaru closed her light. She was nervous for tomorrow, but she had to do her best. She closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.
