Chapter 1
"Guess what guys." Mina grinned.
"You called a meeting this early in the morning just to play guessing game? Come on Mina, tell us and better make it fast. I'm sure grandpa will be looking for me." Raye complained.
"Okay, okay, cool it there! Mom got a large sum of money from work." Mina paused while still grinning.
"So what? Can we spend it all ourselves?" Lita sounds irritated. It is five in the morning when Mina called for a meeting in the park and they were still sleepy.
"Not all but half of it. Mom gave me half of the money and said that we can spend it on a vacation!" Mina got resort tickets from her bag. They had two weeks of vacation from school and they can say that they really needed it since they just finished their third term finals.
"Why didn't you tell us earlier? That's cool!" Serena brightened up. She was lonely this past few days because she and Darien had a fight and Darien called for a cool-off. She thought that maybe this vacation could take Darien out of her mind, even for a while.
"Wait a minute," Raye snatched the tickets from Mina's hand, "why do you have seven tickets? We're only five. Don't tell me that your parents are coming along." Raye's eyebrows met.
"Of course not! They're for Haruka and Michiru." Mina snatched the tickets back. "I invited them last night and they agreed." Mina proudly said. The girls are all turned to Haruka's charm since he came back from Europe. Actually, it's one of the reasons why Serena and Darien cooled-off.
"You know guys, for a while I thought f not joining and studying instead." Amy said.
"Come on Amy, have fun! Too much studying is not good." Lita replied.
"I'm not finished yet. When I heard that Haruka is coming along, I changed my mind. I'm coming." Amy smiled.
"Amy, don't tell us you're—" Raye seemed shocked. "B-but I thought you don't have time to think about boys."
"I thought so. But, you know, Haruka is different." Amy turned red.
"Guys, why don't we put it this way, may the best girl wins. We have a week at the resort so we have a lot of time. Deal?" Mina suggested.
"Deal!!"
----------------
"Everybody ready?" Mina asked the whole group. All was set and ready for a week's vacation the following day. Actually, they were all excited to start their deal early.
"We are but Haruka and Michiru are not yet here." Serena looked for the signs of the two. They waited eagerly and after a few minutes, the two arrived.
The girls appeared speechless at the sight of Haruka. He is wearing cool beach attire that made totally awesome.
"What's up guys, come on let's go." Haruka broke the silence.
"Oh yes. You can have the front seat Haruka. Here beside me." Mina's eyes flashed an evil tint, thinking that she could get a point.
"I say that it's dangerous in that part. It's better if he and Michiru will sit here with us. It's safer." Amy insisted. She somehow got a look at Mina's eyes and saw the intentions of unfair play and she wouldn't let Mina have Haruka all to herself.
"I agree with Any. It's pretty dangerous there. Do you want me to drive for you?" Haruka offered.
"Sure if you insist." Mina sat at the back seat. She thought that if she can't have Haruka sit beside her, it's better not to have her seat with anyone else.
After everyone has settled, they checked everyone and found out that Serena was not yet in the van. Raye volunteered to look for her and found her staring on a toyshop's window. "What are you doing here meat-ball brains, we're all waiting for you!" She tugged Serena back in the van and began to settle again.
"Aren't you going to let me sit?" Serena asked as she saw that there's no more space for her to sit. They have a lot of baggage that seems to occupy the seats.
"You can take a bus Serena, I'm sure you can do that." Mina said.
"You can sit beside me if you like." Michiru, who is sitting at the front seat beside Haruka, offered.
"Thanks!" Serena felt relief as she thought that she really has to take the bus. The other girls felt it's unfair but they have no other choice.
Half of the way, they're silent. They didn't dare say a thing until they felt a sudden heat wave as the time nears noon. "Don't you think it's hot guys?" Mina broke the deafening silence of what used to be a very, very noisy group.
"I think so. Why don't we a have a drink? Here, take these. I made it last night and I assure you that it's going to be refreshing." Lita offered some to Haruka and Michiru.
"Thanks. It's good and cold." Haruka smiled while Lita grinned to the others. "Don't you want some Serena? You seem quiet and that's very unusual of you. Any problem?" Michiru asked Serena who is just staring at places outside the window.
"No thanks, I don't have a problem." Serena gave a sly smile. 'I wish I never joined.'
"She broke up with Darien a few days ago that's why she's out of the mood." Raye said.
"We just cooled off!" Serena protested.
"That's okay Odango, here take this. It's good, it will help you." Haruka gave his juice to Serena. "Thanks, but about Darien, I don't think about that much."
"I'm just thinking of Rini, how about her?" Amy asked.
"I don't know" was Serena's cold answer.
==========================================
After an hour, they're at the resort. "Here we are!" Mina jumped out of the van.
They got their things and went at the reception hall. "Mom reserved us four rooms. I say, Serena and Michiru in one room, Raye and Amy, Makoto and me and since you're the only man here," referring to Haruka "you take the fourth room." Mina thought that it's the best room assignment to give a fair play to others. She really wants to be with Haruka but it's going to be too obvious and it's beyond the law of courtshiplaw? . They got their keys and went in their rooms to settle and rest.
"It's a pleasure to have the princess as my roommate. " Michiru smiled.
"Thanks but I don't want to be called princess. I'm happy to what I am right now." Serena replied.
After fixing a few things, Michiru and Serena decided to rest before going out.
"Michiru, you know Haruka better right?" Serena asked. The two lay on the bed, side by side.
"I can say that. We're together most of the time because of our mission and because we're not really fond of socializing with several people." Michiru answered. "We're kind of close friends."
"What do you do together?" Serena is starting to sound like a talk show host.
"Sometimes, just accompanying each other on stuffs we like to do like he on racing or me on swimming. We also do music together." Michiru got up and got some sodas.
"You like him don't you?" Serena asked again.
"I don't know." Michiru chuckled. "I think I better ask you that. You're the one interested in him right?"
"I think so." Serena paused. "I think this rest is enough. I want to go out already, want to join me?"
"Sure, come one let's go!" together, the two went out.
