***Tomoyo***P.O.V

It's finally summer vacation everything turned back to normal since the whole Megumi and Kanou mix up. I even managed to become somewhat friends with Megumi. Don't get the wrong idea though she is still annoying as always.

Before summer break Megumi invited Kanou,Yukimura,Misaki,Takumi, Mizuki and I all to the beach before we part ways for the rest of our summer.

I agreed of course how could I reject such an offer to a private beach. Who wouldn't want to go?

I begin to pack up my things from my locker to take home for the summer. Megumi suddenly walks over to me.

"I can't wait until you come to my beach house I have perfect news to tell you when you get there." Megumi says with her gleaming green eyes.

"Ehh...really?" I reply at that moment I just thought about something. How exactly am I suppose to get to the beach house?My dad left because he got in some trouble and wants to make sure I don't get involved. So that's out of the picture.

"Yeah...hey is everything alright if you think I'm gonna try to steal Kanou away from you again then you're wrong." She says with sincere eyes.

"No it's not that at all..." I say with my voice trailing off.

She then stops and scans my face expression for a second which I find really awkward. I then have to break the silence by asking what is it she wanted to say.

"Well I may have recently became your friend but judging by the look you just gave me I'd say that you have no way of getting to my beach house do you?" Megumi says.

I sigh. Am I really that easy to read?

"Yes you are really easy to read." she says.

"Ugh now you're just bragging." I say. She then laughs a little.

"Don't worry Tomoyo I arranged a flight for all of you to fly to the beach house together." Megumi says reassuring me with a smile. She then reaches in her bag and hands me a piece of paper.

I then pick it up and see it's a plane ticket. A smile immediately glides across my face.

"Megumi thank you!" I say hugging her tightly. She hugs me back.

"What can I say I'd do anything for someone precious to me." She says releasing me and smiling.

"I got to go now see you tomorrow Tomoyo!" Megumi says waving to me before leaving.

"See ya Miss Annoying!" I say waving. I forgot to mention that we came up with once and a while nicknames mine happens to be Miss Stupid for some reason.

At that moment I turn around and see Kanou he just stares without saying a word to me. It feels like forever since I stared him straight in the face like this.

It finally takes every streak of courage within me to say this I know there is no way I will be able to say it again.

"Kanou have a great summer. I'm looking foward to seeing you a Megumi's beach house." I say before running out the school.

I didn't look back to see his face, no correction I couldn't look back how could I say say something so embarrassing! Somehow I can't help but feel as if he was smiling at what I said but maybe it's just my imagination.

When I finally make it home I can't help but sink to my knees and take a deep breath. I'm really am stupid how can I say something to Kanou so carelessly. This was going to bother me.

Another part of me is slain really anxious for tomorrow to come I get to see all my friends one last time before I don't see them all summer.

I finally get up and sit on the couch and turn on the TV.

Breaking News a new report shows a plane heading for America has crashed, here's Lee Yui with the rest of the story.

I turn off the TV suddenly I was feeling very sleepy but I have no idea why. I lay and fall soundly asleep on the couch.

I wake up and it's four in the morning. I stretch and notice I have two missed calls from Misaki. I call her back even though I doubt she would answer her phone this early in the morning.

Right away Misaki's loud yelling voice fills my ears.

"Hey where in the world are you? Our flight leaves in two hours!"

I totally forgot our flight leaves at 6am! I must of overslept, I didn't get a chance to pack!

"Ok I'm on my way text me the directions bye." I hang up and begin to hurry up and pack everything I needed for the trip. Right when I was about to leave I just remembered I almost forgot my underwear.

How embarrassing that would of been if I forgot that.

I then look at the directions to get to the airport by now it was 5:01am. I had to hurry up if I wanted to make it to the airport on time.

I begin to run but as I'm running I notice I passed the same building twice. Oh great I'm lost.

At the right time my phone starts ringing and I see it's Misaki. I answer it.

"Tomoyo hurry up everyone is waiting on you to get here."

"I know, well thing is...I'm well I got lost finding my way to the airport. I'm sorry I'm making everyone late but I don't have any idea where I am.I seem to be by some old park next to some office building."

"Huh...hold on. Stay where you are, I'll send someone to come get you." Misaki say obviously sighing.

"Misa-" She hangs up before I could finish talking. I start walking until I find a nearby park bench to sit at where I wait.

About 10 minutes later I see the person Misaki sent to come and get me. Kanou stands there staring at me with his violet eyes.

I blush remembering when I said I'm looking foward to seeing him at Megumi's beach house.

"L-Lets go Tomoyo." He says.

Yeah I say and we both start walking together without saying a word to eachother.

"Hey...Tomoyo?" Kanou says breaking the silence.

"Hmm?"

"Thanks for saying...that thing back at the school, you k...know how you said you're looking foward to the beach house with me..." He says as we walk.

"It made me happy." He adds without a stutter.I feel my cheeks begin to heat up I hope he doesn't notice. By 5:45am we finally made it to the airport.

"There you guys are now hurry up we have to go!" Misaki says directing us the way to go.

When I board the plane I look to see if Kanou was sitting next to anyone. Yukimura was sitting next to Kanou which is a bummer because I was really hoping I would be able to sit next to him.

The only seat open was next to some old man so I sat down in that seat. What was even worse about this seat was the fact that there was a little girl no more than five years old that kept kicking my seat.

I then turn around and ask the girl politely to stop kicking the back of my seat.

"No I can do what I want ugly!" She says sticking out her tongue.

"Why you little! Wait...ugly?" I say getting pretty annoyed.

"Yeah you heard me right ugly!" She says sticking her tongue out again. She then kicks my seat even harder.

This was going to be a long plane ride.

When we finally made it to the beach house we all stand in awe at the beautiful decorated would of thought Megumi had her own private beach house.

As we keep walking I run into someone.

"Ouch watch where you are going!" The person says.

"I'm sorry I didn't-" I stopped talking when I realized that the person I ran into the same girl that was kicking my seat.

"Hey what are you doing here!" I demand.

"I can ask you the same thing ugly!" She retorted in a snobby tone.

"Well if you must know I happen to be visiting my friends private beach." I replyed which makes her laugh really hard upsetting me more.

"Ha ha! What idiot told you that this was a private beach? I mean the houses are private but not this beach. You sure are an idiot for trusting that person ugly." She snickered before walking off.

I swear when I find Megumi I'm gonna...speak of the devil here she comes walking up to us now.

"Hello my fellow subjects." She said spreading her arms like she's a queen or something.

"Don't hey us you told all of us this was a private beach!" I say before anyone else could speak.

"Oh yeah about that...as you can see this isn't exactly a private beach it's more like a public one. If I told you that I bet none of you would of came now would you?" She says.

"Well yeah that's true but..." Misaki says before I could respond.

"Well we're here now might as well make the most of it." Mizuki adds.

"Look on the bright side guys I said there would be a prize for you when you come. Now come to my beach house and get settled in so I can tell you that surprise." Megumi says.

We all begin walking to her massive decorated beach house...no surprise there. When we all get inside we immediately place all our bags down.

"You guys are probably exhausted from the long flight come and sit down and I'll prepare some tea." Megumi says as we all sit around the table.

I just noticed that the whole trip on the plane me and Kanou haven't spoken one word to each other. I look over at him he seems to be deep in thought.

I guess I just wish...well I wish we could spend more time together alone. I don't see how that can be possible considering we aren't dating.

"So..." Misaki says trying desperately to break this awkward silence. By that time Megumi returns with the tea, which tastes disgusting but I don't say that out loud.

"So as you know I invited you all here because this is our last time together until we part for the summer. Now as for the surprise tomorrow, it's my birthday. Since I know it takes a long flight to get here I thought I'd invite you a day early so we can hang out before my actually B-day party tomorrow." She says.

"That sounds like a surprise more for you, Mrs. Annoying." I say.

"T...Tomoyo don't be so rude to Megumi..." Kanou says. I look at him shocked why is he defending Megumi I thought she said that there was nothing going on between them? Kanou even thought I was being rude. Am I making a bad impression on him?

When he notices I'm staring at him he looks away. What's going on? Kanou looked away from me before but never like this, something was odd this time.

"It's alright Kanou we are always like this towards one another but anyway how about we change into our swimsuits and head to the beach!"

After that everyone is rushing to their bag. I run over to my bag when I notice something strange. I didn't pack a swimsuit! What kind of idiot leaves to a beach for two days and doesn't even pack a swimsuit?

I tap Megumi on the shoulder.

"Umm Megumi?" I whisper.

"Yeah?"

"I forgot my swimsuit." I say embarrassed.

"Wha-!" I cover her mouth with my hand to stop her from bringing attention to us. She then takes a deep breath and directs me to her room for the time being.

"Here you can have this I was going to wear it last summer but I seemed to have grown out of it. You could probably fit this though." She says handing me a pink sparkly bikini from her closet.

"Umm do you have any one piece swimsuits I don't feel comfortable wearing this one." I say truthfully.

"Well I do but they are all too big for you." She says. I sighed the last thing I need is for Kanou to see me in a bikini then again maybe it would't be so bad.

"Hey Megumi the rest of us are going to head to the beach now. You guys can come and meet us there!" Misaki yells from the living room.

Me and Megumi exchange glances when everyone is gone. I'm pretty sure she knows what I'm thinking.

"You're not afraid to wear a bikini in front of Kanou are you?" She asks.

I really am an open book aren't I?

"Y..Yes but you should understand." I say.

"I understand but don't you think Kanou is feeling just embarrassed as you are? After all guys only wear swimming trunks and no shirts.

I totally forgot about that.

"Besides Tomoyo you look amazing Kanou is bound to fall for you." She adds.

"Really?" I asked.

"Really." She says reassuring me with a smile. Now lets go meet the others at the beach. I nod my head in agreement.

The beach is packed everyone is running around relaxing or swimming. There are also some dudes playing beach volleyball.

I walk over to Misaki, Takumi and the rest of the gang. I take a glimps at Kanou with no shirt on and he looks at me. We both look away right away.

Who knew that I'd have such a hard time even looking him in the eyes when he has no shirt on.

"Come on Tomoyo let's swim!" Misaki says and I run in the water.

***Kanou***P.O.V

I see everyone in the water splashing and having fun. I on the otherhand wanted to stay and relax on this beach chair. A few minutes later I notice Yukimura coming up to me.

He sits down at the beach chair next to mine.

"Hey Kanou why don't you join the rest of the gang?" He asks.

"No thank you." I respond.

"Does it have anything to do with Tomoyo and well her outfit prehaps?"

"N-No." I say I can feel my cheeks heating up. I look over at Tomoyo in her pink swimsuit. Maybe Yukimura is a little right but only a little.

***Tomoyo***P.O.V

"I'm going to go take a break and get something to drink guys okay?" I say to Misaki and Takumi who are splashing each other still.

"Ok-hey pres stop splashing me already." Takumi says jokingly but she doesn't stop.

I get out the water when I see Megumi running up to me.

"Hey Tomoyo I need your help!" Megumi yells.

"With what this time Miss Annoying?"

Well I was watching the dudes who are playing volleyball and well there's this guy I think is really cute. I look over at the volleyball game.

"Which guy is it?" I ask.

"The guy with the red hair."

I look over again and see a guy with red hair and green eyes. He is pretty cute and good at volleyball as far as I can see. I only have eyes for Kanou though.

"What do you want me to do?" I asked.

"I want you to tell him that umm...I'm very fond of him." She says.

"Fond?" I say raising an eyebrow at her.

"Yes yes. Now go, they're leaving!" She says shoving me foward.

I bump into the guy with the red hair and green eyes.

"Umm...Hi I'm Tomoyo and my friend Megumi over there is very fond of you." I say pointing to Megumi.

He looks over at Megumi then back at me.

"Hmm shes cute, but you are way cuter. I rather date you." He says. Ugh, this guy is a jerk.

"I'm not sure you get what I'm sa-" I'm cut off when he starts speaking.

"No, I'm not sure you get what I'm saying." he says he then grabs my wrist to the point where it hurt.

"Ow...you're hurting me." I say but he doesn't let go.

"I'm afraid I can't do that unless you tell me your name. Let's go out sometime too." He says.

"No." I say but he still doesn't let go of my wrist.

"Oh come on-" Suddenly he stops talking when some one grabs his other arm and twists it. I can now see it's Kanou that twisted the guys arm.

"If a lady says leave her alone, then maybe you should be a gentlemen and listen." Kanou says he has this serious look in his eyes almost like a cold stare.

Kanou lets the guys arm go and the guy rubs his arm.

"Man what's your problem? I was only joking around." The guy says before walking off.

Kanou takes one long look at me before saying something.

"P-Please be more c-careful okay Tomoyo?" He says.

"Okay." I say now embarassed.

"Now come on Megumi and the others are probably looking for us." He says and we walk across the beach together.

I am greeted by Megumi when we both make it back to the gang.

"So...how did it go?" Megumi asks.

"Terrible, he's a jerk you can do better." I answer truthfully.

"What are you saying? You hardly even know him!" Megumi says.

I don't think I can tell Megumi what really happened it might really hurt her.

"I know enough okay? Now let's stop talking about this Miss Annoying." I say. I then noticed Megumi stop walking with clenched fists now.

"Do you...just not want me to be happy or something? Is that really what happened?" She says in a harsh tone.

"What?"

"I deserve to like someone too, not just you Tomoyo! It's my turn!" She yells bringing some attention to us.

"Lower your voice Megumi, why are you getting so upset about this?" I say.

"I'm upset because I finally find a guy I like and you say I should find someone else. You never even answered the question of what exactly happened, I deserve to know!"

"No Megumi, trust me this is for your own good. It's best if you don't know okay!"

"Since when did you decide what's best for me?" Megumi yells back.

"Since I became your friend!" I say starting to get really angry.

"Well my mistake then! I never should of asked for your help! You clearly know nothing about me or my crush! You really are a Miss Stupid! How can Kanou even put up with you?"

"Well I know more than you! All you know how to do is fall for any guy you see and act like you're so perfect! Well news flash, you're not perfect and you never will be! Maybe those kids from back then were right about you!" I reply. Guilt washed over me as I said that last sentence. I instantly felt bad.

"Megumi I'm-"

"Just...treat me how you did before, enemies." She says before running away towards her beach house. I can clearly see she's crying which is starting to make me feel even worse. What would of happened if I just told her the truth? Would the outcome have been any different?

I turn around and shock fills my face. Behind me stood Kanou with no expression on his face at is no way I can face anyone right now.

"I'm going for a swim!" I yell out and I run towards the water.

Everything about this trip has been a disaster so far. I was about to cry when I felt something in the water against my skin.

I see that it is a brief case and for some reason I felt the urge to open it. When I open it I see that inside is a picture of me, my dad and mom. Weird what is a picture of my family doing out in the ocean?

I look through more stuff and find files and money. It doesn't take me long to realize that this is my dad's brief case but what is it doing all the way out here he's suppose to be on a plane?

Not long after, as I swam further out, I found a piece of some type of machine. Swimming even further, I see a bunch of pieces of this so called machine.

Then it hits me the worst possible thing I could of imagined. What if yesterday when I turned on the news...

Flashback

Breaking News a news report shows a plane heading for America has crashed, here's Lee Yui with the rest of the story.

The plane that crashed on the news yesterday...could my dad possibly have been on this plane? If so that would mean that he's...he's dead right? He died in that plane crash didn't he?

Tears stream down my eyes just thinking about that thought. Is he dead? Suddently it starts pouring rain the life guards tells everyone to get out of the water because a huge storm is coming.

I turn around when suddently a gust of wind blows my family picture out my hand farther in the ocean. I don't know why but tells me I need that picture no what, I have to have that picture.

I turn around and swim deeper in the sea. By now life guards are yelling at me and telling me I need to come back to the beach but I don't listen.

The waves are rising higher and higher but that doesn't stop me from swimming towards the 's getting harder and harder for me to push forward without getting a load of water in my mouth.

It was like I was breathing water. I keep on swimming anyway.

Everything begins to grow quiet the only voice I hear is one yelling my name.

"Tomoyo!" The voice yells.

A wave taller than a building comes crashing down on me. At that point I knew I was going to drown and die.

"Tomoyo!" I hear the voice yell once more.

Kanou...

but it was too late I was already sinking towards the bottom and I can see my family picture floating above me.
