Luka stood at the top of the stairs with a confused look on her face and she pulled her tank top on following it, with a bit of difficulty, with her jeans and she then turned feeling a bit sad and walked downstairs only to meet Meiko half way upstairs and the brunette looked up surprised then smiled at Luka. If Luka let herself she could honestly appreciate how pretty most of the girls around her were but sometimes she felt. . unnerved by how she did it but when it came to it she just couldn't help it sometimes.

Meiko was one of those pretty girls she couldn't help and as those red irises met hers she felt a surprising blush wanting to crawl up her neck and Meiko's smile was honestly very pretty and her brown hair fell just perfectly around her face. Not that she was vain but the fact that Meiko had a good body didn't hurt either and that was what allowed some of the traitorous blush to crawl up to her cheeks a tiny bit but she smiled back.

"Hey Meiko. What're you doing?" Luka asked with a tilt of her head then felt abruptly stupid.

"Oh I'm just going upstairs to grab something from my room. Wanna join me with getting it?" Meiko asked as she tilted her head and Luka hesitated then nodded.

"Sure why not." Luka replied with a grin and she walked up the stairs with Meiko followed her and they walked down then turned to the left facing a door with the names "Meiko and Sonika's room!" and they walked in. Luka stood in the door way while Meiko walked to her side of the room grabbing a small backpack then grinned at Luka as she walked to the door and they left the room and Meiko made sure it was shut tight.

"Alright let's go camper, I am going to show you a beautiful world along with anyone else who wants to join us." Meiko said with a smirk and Luka couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy but then sighed knowing immediately after the uneasiness went away, that Meiko was talking about alcohol.

"Camper? You sound like one of those weird camp directors." Luka chuckled out as they walked to the stairs and Meiko laughed out loudly and Luka felt an answering laugh.

"Luka? What're you doing?" It was Gumi's voice that stopped Luka and she turned facing the confused looking girl and she felt a stab of. . guilt? Why did she feel guilty?

"Gumi! I'm just talking with Meiko is all." Luka replied then she felt a little irritation when she caught a dark look sliding through Gumi's normally bright green eyes as they flicked to Meiko. "Why, is there a problem with that?"

"No of course not." Gumi said a little stiffly when Meiko patted Luka's shoulder softly.

"I'll be downstairs in the kitchen, come and find me after you finish up your conversation okay?" Meiko said then walked down the stairs sending Luka a smile and she smiled back just barely noting how Gumi seemed to tense up and glare ever so faintly which wasn't like her and when Meiko was all the way down stairs she turned looking at Gumi.

"I'm still mad at you. Why the hell did you just leave me back there?" Luka demanded as her eyes narrowed softly and frowned deeply at Gumi.

"I just had too okay? I'm sorry and I'll go swimming with you again but is this how you're gonna act out because you're angry with me? By hanging out with Meiko who just a few days ago you said you didn't really like all that much as a best friend or anything because she's a heavy drinker half the time?" Gumi snapped her eyes flaring with anger and Luka felt her own anger welling up at Gumi which was surprising. She was almost never angry with Gumi.

"That's not a good enough answer for me Gumi! And I'm not acting out, I stopped acting out a while ago and just because I'm talking with Meiko doesn't mean we're instantly best friends or that I'm going to go off and become a heavy drinker like her! You're angry for no reason Gumi with me talking with her! You don't own me, you're my friend and a friend is supposed to be supportive right? Well you're not acting much like a friend right then with you glaring at Meiko like that!" Luka snapped hotly her cheeks beginning to turn a soft red color as her eyes hot daggers at Gumi who shot daggers back at her instantly.

"Well I'm sorry if I can't give you a better answer! And besides you always act out when you're angry! That's exactly what you're doing now! I was going to come out and try to spend more time with you to make up for running away but you go and hang out with Meiko?!"" Gumi shouted making Luka's blood honestly hot with anger. She did not like being yelled at and Gumi was just making things worse for herself and Luka glared.

"What I do is my business Gumi! You're acting like you're my keeper not my friend! Again what I do with Meiko isn't important to you! And you really fucked up that didn't you by shouting at me! You know I hate it when you shout at me Gumi!" Luka yelled as a scary press of tears against her eyes made her clamp down hard on her strangely welling sadness. She never did like it when Gumi got angry and she didn't like fighting with one of her best friends but here she was fighting with one of them.

"Of course I act like your keeper becaues you need one because you do so many things that fuck things up for you and I make sure you don't! And of course things with Meiko concern me! You're my best friend, I don't want you doing shit that'll mess up everything for you!" Gumi screamed and her hands clenched as her face flushed and Luka glared at her hard making her heart shrivel and wail with pain almost at the look. Why were they fighting again? When did this fight start? It felt like a million years had passed since this fight had started.

"I don't fuck things up for myself you know that! I always make good decisions! I-Fuck it I don't need to explain myself to you!" Luka suddenly growled and turned to the stairs when Gumi ran to her and Gumi grabbed her wrist tight making her whip her head to the side to glare at her. "Let go!"

"No!" Gumi snapped a her holding onto her wrist even tighter and Luka managed to rip her wrist away from Gumi's grip after three tries and glared at her.

"You piss me off so much Gumi it's unbelievable! You aren't even beginning to understand anything about me and you've known me since first grade, you should understand me by now! But you don't! And that-It hurt's Gumi that you don't trust me! Miku and Rin trust me but you don't do you? Why? Why can't you just trust me about anything?" Luka's voice quieted down as her blue eyes filled with a sort of sadness that hit Gumi right in the chest and the green haired vocaloid looked at her with a sort of agonized look and she stepped back once.

"I trust you Luka but I just. . I don't trust you with Meiko is all. I'm sorry, I shouldn't be doing this." She murmured softly then turned around to head right back to their room but paused after getting a couple steps away and looked over her shoulder at Luka. "But Luka it's you that doesn't trust me. It's you who aren't understanding me on these things. I'll see you later then."

Then Gumi walked into the room leaving Luka alone with what felt like a burning wetness in her eyes and she scrubbed at her eyes hard. No she wouldn't cry now. But why did it hurt so bad then? Why did that feel like they were breaking up for some reason? She turned storming down the stairs through her blurred vision and she rubbed her eyes again with the heels of her hands then looked to the kitchen then walked to it shoving the door open to reveal Meiko sitting there and-surprisingly- Miku, Kaito and Rin with Len.

"What are you doing?" Luka asked, the question aimed at all of them and Miku smiled soft.

"Well since the house practically could hear that fight you and Gumi had, well most of them left to give you space and to adventure around the town surrounding the beach but since Meiko got an unlimited supply of alcohol practically-" Meiko then grinned almost proudly at this statement making Miku roll her eyes then continued."-I knew you would want to drink probably and because, I'm sure, all of us has tried drinking once and because we're all close then we'll drink together."

"Miku-" Luka started a sort of happy but sad look flitting across her face and through her eyes but Miku rushed forward pressing to fingers to her lips cutting off her words.

"Shush. You need us right now. You may not be saying it but I know how it hurts to fight with a best friend, after all me and you have had our shares of fights, me and Gumi and even me and Rin, you and Rin have definitely had fights so I understand. If you don't want to do this then we won't and we'll watch some cheesy movies with a bunch of chips and order out for lunch if you want." Miku said gently then dropped her fingers from Luka's lips , the pink haired vocaloid staring at her with big, wet looking eyes.

". . . .Why not both?" Luka asked softly suddenly but a little emotion lit her eyes and Miku grinned at her and laughed softly.

"We can do both, but it should be done now before the chaperone's return. We can do this in the den, because other than books being there there's a sweet t.v set up there too that's perfect. Now come on! Let's get the stuff together, Meiko you can go set up your little alcohol station and we'll be there." Miku said placing her hands on her small hips making Luka smile softly.

"I'll call for food! Len'll help too!" Rin volunteered then hooked her arm with her brother's who's eyes went wide with his own unwilling volunteering and scowled lightly at his sister.

"Okay! I'm gonna get the snacks and stuff together with Luka, Kaito I want you to go and get everything set up okay?" Miku said with a large grin then walked over to Kaito pecking him light and quick on the lips and he smiled.

"Alright I'll get it done." He said with a nod and as he walked past Luka he pressed his fingers against her palm comfortingly and then disappeared out of the kitchen to the den.

"Alright everyone get to work!" Miku shouted out with a grin and Meiko disappeared in the same direction as Kaito, then Len and Rin took off in search of phones and Miku moved her arm around Luka. "I'm sorry about Gumi though. You'll both forgive each other, after all you're both close as hell but then again all of us are close as hell. But you'll both forgive one another trust me. Gumi isn't one to hold a grudge, unlike you."

"Oh shut it." Luka said with a grin as they began to walk around looking in the cabinets grabbing chips and everything else along with a little pack of Coke and Sprite then they smiled at each other before walking to the den.

When they entered Luka marveled a little at how everything was being set up but she and Miku sat on the couch together smiling gently then they opened the chips beginning to eat them slowly. Even as she sat there though, her mind remained heavily on Gumi, on the things she said to the girl and her heart twisted hard. She still couldn't believe she said it but then again some part of her didn't regret it because it was kind of true but she still felt a throbbing pain that was unlike anything she'd experienced before.

Though she and Gumi fought they normally made up immediately but this fight felt more serious and it hurt her, her heart throbbed with a sort of pain she wasn't used too and her fingers honestly ached to be tangling up with Gumi's instead and to be hugging her, apologizing and holding onto her tight. To get the kiss she'd honestly never stopped thinking of. She closed her eyes briefly before opening them again when Meiko sat next to her with a shot glass in her hand.

"Here ya go. First round! If you still want too drink, of course." Meiko said a little bit dubiously but as Luka looked at the shot in Meiko's hand some part of her, the good girl part, screamed she shouldn't do it that Gumi was right.

But in her current mood she felt like being wasted, felt like she wanted to numb buzzing of alcohol to numb her to everything and she reached out grabbing the shot and without thinking twice knocked it back feeling just faintly that she was going to regret this but she honestly didn't care at that moment. All that mattered was having some fun and if this was going to be fun then she'll do it. And she wouldn't regret it. No not one bit, she wouldn't let herself. It was to have fun with no regret and she would have it.
