Yay, the pool episode!

Jungle Pool SOS!

3:30 P.M.

"Practice dismissed!"

At Shun's call, the rest of the her team began collecting the various items scattered around the baseball field and packing them away in their duffel bags. After that, they then turned towards the direction of the locker rooms and exited the premises. Shun pulled a small hand towel from her bag and swiped it across her forehead as she followed the rest of her team into the locker rooms. However, instead of stopping to change, she passed the boys beginning to disrobe themselves and left, continuing into the hallway that led to the third music room instead. After joining the host club, Kyouya had informed her that she did not have to wait for everyone to leave the locker rooms in order to change; he had given her permission to change in the club room instead as to better conceal her true gender, of which she was undoubtedly grateful. As she neared the large double doors of the club room, she reached out to grab the knob. But, before she could even touch it, two appendages hooked beneath her armpits and hoisted her up into the air.

"Second target—"

"—captured!"

"What the hell?! Let me go!" Shun struggled as much as she could, but her mysterious captors held her firmly and carried her outside the school building, finally stopping in front of a shiny black limousine. The window rolled down to reveal Tamaki, who was sporting a pair of aviator sunglasses on his nose and a red flower lei around his neck. Shun could faintly see the silhouette of a small figure behind him—she knew immediately that it was Haruhi.

"Good, now take her with us," Tamaki ordered, to which the kidnappers saluted militarily as he slid the window back up with a chuckle. Then, Shun was picked up once again and taken to the opposite side of the car. The door opened automatically and she was roughly shoved inside the vehicle, right next to Haruhi.

"Where are we going?" Shun asked. The only answer she got was a cacophony of mischievous chuckles echoing from somewhere in the car—where it came from, she couldn't tell. All Shun could do was watch the image of the school grow fainter and fainter as the limousine sped away.

Twenty minutes later...

Shun was jerked awake by Haruhi, who was shaking her shoulder. Apparently, she had fallen asleep during the car ride. Weakly blinking her eyes, Shun peered up at Haruhi.

"Where... are we?" Shun asked sluggishly, still recovering from her abruptly-ended nap.

Haruhi shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know, but we'll find out." She opened the door and clambered out of the car, Shun following behind groggily. As Shun opened her eyes fully to take in her surroundings, her face blanked. Palm trees and tropical flowers surrounded her, the dew on their leaves sparkling as light beamed on them. It was almost as if she had stepped into a different dimension. However, before she could fully react, the twins grabbed both her and Haruhi and dragged them to the women's changing room. Once they reached it, the twins pulled them up and pushed them in front of a pair of identical maids.

"Here. Do what you've got to do!" the twins chirped.

One maid tilted her head and smiled. "Okay, we'll do what we can!"

The other mirrored the first's actions. "Miss Fujioka, Miss Inoue, just follow me." Her eyes flashed with a devilish gleam, causing Shun to gulp nervously. Then, the maids slowly reached out and yanked Haruhi and Shun into the changing room, slamming the door shut behind them.

Shun gawked at the sight before her. Rows and rows of assorted bathing suits stood in front of her, each a different shape, color, and size. Then, out of nowhere, one of the maids stripped her down in a matter of seconds, the various parts of her baseball uniform flying into the air.

Shun quickly attempted to cover herself. "What the hell are you doing?!" she shrieked.

"Hey, stop that!" Haruhi protested as the other maid tried to disrobe her.

The maids simply smiled. "We've been asked to help you choose a swimsuit!" one of them said.

"We've brought all of our mother's latest designs for you to choose from!" Shun heard Kaoru call from outside the door.

"Just pick whichever one you want!" Hikaru added.

Shun banged the door with her fist repeatedly in an attempt to break it down. "I don't need a stupid swimsuit! Just let me out of here!" Much to her annoyance, Hikaru and Kaoru merely snickered from the opposite side of the yellow doors.

"Are you ready, Miss Fujioka?" one maid asked.

"Are you ready, Miss Inoue?" the other echoed.

"It's time to pick one!" they trilled cheerily.

Haruhi sighed. "Thanks, but I don't need a swimsuit."

Shun crossed her arms over her chest. "Neither do I," she said sternly.

The maids were still persistent. "Why don't you let me select one for you?" one of them suggested. She picked up a white bikini with an elegant flower print on the left breast and held it up to the two girls in an offering gesture.

"No, not that one! I don't want a bikini." Haruhi shot down the offer quickly, and when the maid turned to Shun for an answer, she rapidly shook her head back and forth.

"No, wait—I think this one would be cute!" The other maid held up a skimpy bikini bottom made up of a few red strings that were only held together by small golden hoops. Shun made a disgusted face while Haruhi looked at the swimsuit in visible confusion.

"But, that's nothing more than a couple of strings!" she said. Immediately after Haruhi's comment, Shun could have sworn she heard a thud outside, but she simply shrugged it off. Eventually, after Shun made it very clear that both herself and Haruhi did not desire bikinis, they chose swimsuits that seemed relatively modest. Haruhi decided on a pink one-piece with a little white skirt flaring out at the bottom, along with a matching swim cap. On the complete opposite side of the spectrum, Shun was sporting a navy blue one-piece with a vertical white stripe going down on each side of her waist and an open back. Before she left the changing room, she pulled on a pair of boys' cargo shorts that she had kept in her sports duffel bag as a spare.

As the pair left the confines of the women's bathrooms, they were stopped in their tracks by Tamaki, who blushed upon immediate inspection of Haruhi's outfit. A shiver zipped up his spine as Haruhi gazed at him innocently.

Thrusting out a yellow parka, Tamaki turned his face away to hide his obvious redness. "Just hurry up and put it on. A proper young woman should not show that much skin until after she is married."

Shun snorted and hid her mouth behind her hand. He's really got it bad!

After Haruhi put on the parka as per Tamaki's request, Shun grabbed her hand and walked with her to where the rest of the hosts were. Shun craned her neck to observe her surroundings in order to better understand where she was, but she found that she still had not even the smallest clue.

"Where are we? Are we even still in Japan?" Shun wondered aloud.

"Japan's not really known for its tropical locals," Haruhi noted.

"This place is a brand-new theme park that my family, the Ootori group, runs." Shun turned in the direction of the voice and found Kyouya, who was lounging on a chair and sipping some kind of tropical fruit juice. "It's called the Tropical Aqua Garden," he informed them.

Shun tilted her head in a puzzled gesture. "But isn't the Ootori group focused on medical stuff?" she asked.

"Yes, but my family likes to diversify and try different things. Besides, this place could be classified as a healing facility," he answered.

"Huh? I don't get it," Haruhi said.

"It's therapeutic. Think of all the people who are overworked and would just love a vacation in the South tropics. However, they may not be able to get the time off or they may not be able to afford it. Those people can now seek refuge here at this theme park and reduce their stress levels." Kyouya adjusted his glasses and smiled at the two. "The Ootori group's primary concern has always been for the good health and well-being of the general public."

Sounds shady to me, Shun thought. She turned away and observed Honey splashing around in the pool happily. "How come no one else is here besides us?" she pondered.

"The park doesn't officially open until next month, but the host club was given a special advance invitation," Kyouya answered.

Shun glanced at Kyouya with an eyebrow raised. I guess there are real perks to being in this club. Suddenly, she was interrupted from her thoughts as Honey grabbed both her and Haruhi's arms, tugging on them happily.

"Shu-chan, Haru-chan! Wanna share some coconut juice with me? Or do you wanna try a piece of the mango cake?" he asked giddily.

"Yeah, sure, I'll have some coconut juice with you," Haruhi said.

Shun raised her hand excitedly. "Oh, oh! I want the mango cake!"

Honey giggled and ran away at their answers, most likely to get the specified snacks the two had requested. Then, Hikaru came over and rested his elbow on Shun's shoulder while Kaoru did the same with Haruhi.

"What's the deal with that pullover you're wearing?" Hikaru asked, gesturing to the yellow parka Haruhi had put on.

She tugged at the collar. "Oh, this thing? Tamaki made me wear it."

Kaoru pointed at Shun's cargo shorts. "Did Tamaki make you cover up too, Shun?" he questioned.

Shun huffed. "No, I put it on because I wanted to," she muttered.

"So you guys are not going to swim?" Hikaru asked.

"Hold on—you do swim, don't you?"

"I can swim just as good as the next guy, but this isn't my idea of fun. I'm not that big on water parks," Haruhi answered with a bored expression. "We're just gonna spend all day goofing off. Honestly, I'd rather be at home."

Shun chuckled. "Man, Haruhi, lighten up a little, will you?" Unlike Haruhi, Shun had no problem with water parks. Plus, she really could use the time to relax, since practice had just ended an hour ago and her joints were a still a bit sore. Walking over to the pool, she plopped down on the edge and dipped her legs in the water. She sighed contentedly as she felt the muscles in her legs loosen, the tense knots they had tied beginning to unfurl.

Suddenly, Honey appeared behind her, leaning on her back and placing his chin on her shoulder. "Shu-chan, let's play! You wanna go swimming in the current pool with me?" he asked eagerly.

"I'm too tired," Shun answered. Noticing the float around his waist, she peered at him curiously. "I thought you knew how to swim. Why do you need the float?"

Honey giggled. "Just looks cuter this way, you know?"

"He's so innocent," the twins commented simultaneously.

Then, a familiar voice pierced through the air once again. "No way, you've got it all wrong!" Rumbles echoed through the air as a motor platform emerged from the ground, the host club's manager perched atop it and laughing maniacally.

"Where the hell—!" Shun exclaimed. Renge began walking towards the hosts, and Shun was finally able to notice her outfit. She was holding a violet parasol and wearing a simple black bikini, and there was a strange purple symbol painted on her stomach.

"That outfit's pretty impressive," Hikaru remarked.

"What's with the tattoo on your stomach?" Kaoru inquired.

Renge chuckled. "Oh, that? You don't recognize it?" She grinned. "I'm cosplaying!"

"As who?" Shun asked.

"LaLa!" Renge sang.

"LaLa? Like the manga magazine?"

Clasping her hands together, Renge held them against her cheek in an admiring gesture. "Her petite and slender frame! Her blue eyes that light up young men's faces! Her singing voice! I am Quon Kisaragi!"

"What?" Shun muttered, her expression lackluster. I'll never understand anything Renge says. Shun walked away from the group, searching for something to lift her boredom. Spotting Honey leaping into the current pool, she made her way over just as he splashed into the water. Shun chuckled as the droplets rained on her head. She turned to Mori as he walked over to her, her eyes lit up with curiosity.

"Hey, Mori-senpai, you should try swimming against the current!" Shun suggested. Mori smiled slightly and made a sound of agreement, ruffling her hair playfully. Soon, Mori was paddling briskly in the opposite direction of the current as Honey perched on his back.

Honey waved at the rest of the hosts. "Hey, look at this, everybody! Check it out, look! Even though we're swimming really fast, we never go any further than we are now!" he called, laughing elatedly.

Shun, who was watching Honey with a satisfied smile, jumped when she felt something cold splash on her bare back. She whipped around angrily, only to see Hikaru smirking at her as he pumped a water gun.

"I got you!" he teased playfully. Then, he turned and aimed the gun at Tamaki, shooting him directly in the face.

Kaoru stood next to Hikaru and filled his water gun. "Come on, boss, let's go! Let's have a water gun fight!"

"It'll be me, Kaoru, and Shun against you," Hikaru said. "If you get it in the face, you lose. What do you say?"

Tamaki wiped his face with a towel. "Forget it. Why would I want to subject myself to a childish game like that?"

The twins' eyes shined slyly. Hikaru reached out to grab Shun, who was on her way to get revenge on him for spraying water on her, while Kaoru grabbed Haruhi.

"Shun, I think it's time that we got married!" Hikaru grinned cheekily at Shun, who growled in response.

"Then we'll honeymoon in Atami with Haruhi!" Kaoru added.

Within seconds, Tamaki was furiously pumping a water gun with supernatural speed. "Do you really think I'd ever let Shun and Haruhi marry you guys?" he grumbled. Swiveling around, he pointed the barrel of the gun right in the twins' direction. "Daddy says no!" Tamaki pulled the trigger, water spurting out of the gun instantly.

Hikaru grabbed Shun's hand and yanked her out of the way, causing her to fall into his chest. "Come on, Shun, let's go!" he said, beginning to run in the opposite direction. Shun dug her heels into the ground and slipped her hand from his grasp. He turned to her with a confused expression, but it morphed into a mix of fear and shock when she pulled out a bazooka-sized water gun from behind her back and aimed it at his face.

Shun leered at him. "Revenge is best served cold!" Water exploded from the gun, drenching Hikaru from head to toe. Shun burst out laughing as he gaped at her, still completely flabbergasted. He looks like a wet puppy!

Eventually, Hikaru recovered from the shock of the impact and protested indignantly. "Agh, come on!" he cried angrily, only causing Shun to laugh harder. "You'll pay for this!"

Still chuckling, Shun hoisted the enormous contraption over her shoulder and sprinted away. "Only if you can catch me!" she called, laughing joyfully as she fled. Hikaru's face flushed slightly before he chased after her. Her laugh is really cute...

Shun, in her fervent pursue of a hiding spot, ended up accidentally running into the line of fire between Tamaki and Kaoru. Her attempt to duck under the shots was too late, and she ended up getting blasted in the face by Kaoru.

Tamaki, noticing Shun's drenched face, jumped to the left, his body parallel to the ground as he aimed at Kaoru. "I'll avenge you, Shun! Sideways Leaping Shot!" In response to the oncoming projectiles, Kaoru held up a decorative tiki shield to block Tamaki's shots. "That's cheating!" Tamaki cried indignantly as he tried to land on his feet properly. Unfortunately, his left foot skidded on a banana peel, and he was sent tumbling. His line of motion finally stopped when his head knocked into an enormous totem pole.

Shun gulped as the eyes of the totems flashed red. What's going on? Turning her head around frantically, Shun noticed an enormous wave approaching Honey from behind. Dropping her water gun, she raced to the edge of the current pool as fast as she could.

"Shun, where are you going?" Hikaru asked. His eyes widened as he saw the wave that was coming closer, and he began to chase after Shun. "Wait, Shun, stop—!"

Ignoring Hikaru's calls, Shun dove into the wave pool and grabbed Honey by the shoulders. "Come on, Honey-senpai, let's—"

Before she could finish, the wave crashed down on her and Honey.

"Shun! Honey-senpai!"

"Mitsukuni!"

"Shun!"
