On the following day it was Sunday. Rin woke up to the sound of someone cooking. He had to turn and check the clock to see if he had overslept. It was past 8. He really had overslept. He would have to shorten his morning run a bit.

Rin hurried out of bed and got dressed before heading outside. On his way out he peaked into the kitchen to see Makoto preparing their breakfast, and Nagisa sitting by the dining table, doing something. Rin couldn't tell what it was though.

"Good morning, Rin," Makoto said with a smile in Rin's direction.

"Morning," Rin said.

Nagisa dropped whatever he had and hurried up. "Can I join you today Rin-chan?" he asked.

"You're not ready, so no," Rin said while glaring at Nagisa's light blue pajamas with penguin motives on. It was a bit too short for him. He had had it since he was 12 and refused to get rid of it when Makoto had only thought of suggesting it.

"Okay," Nagisa's head sank and he looked down before heading back to whatever he was doing.

"You have to hurry," Makoto advised. "I'm done in less than 15 minutes,"

"I won't run far," Rin assured before putting on his shoes and running out the door.

The running in the morning wasn't something Rin would do every day. He mostly did it on Sundays and during breaks, like the spring break and Golden Week and such. Aside from that, he only ran in the morning when he couldn't seem to fall back asleep. Sometimes he would run with others, Haruka would join him during the breaks, Rei and Makoto would run with him if they had the time and Nagisa would just randomly ask if he could come along, just like today. Rin would run with Sousuke in the afternoon or at night depending on if he went to swimming practice or not.

Makoto had tried to make the running a family thing. They had only been out on that once. Kisumi, who had also been there, had lost his breath a little too easily and declared that he was out of practice when it came to running. Makoto had agreed and stopped to wait for Kisumi. Rei and Nagisa had slowly fallen behind because they kept on talking. At first Rin had been in on the conversation, but when Haruka had pulled way ahead of him, he just couldn't stand it and did his best to keeping up with Haruka for the rest of the run. After that, all six of them agreed that they would never do this again.

When Rin returned after 10 minutes of constant running and entered the apartment, he found a letter lying on the dining table next to Nagisa.

"What's that?" Rin asked.

"Don't know," Nagisa said. "Haru-chan just put it there and went into your room with his own,"

"He got out of the tub by himself for a change?" Rin asked.

"No, Mako-chan asked him to get out and get our mail," Nagisa answered.

Rin grabbed the letter and opened it. He took out the paper the envelope held and read it slowly. He then quickly headed to the room he shared with Haruka, to see if they had got the same letter.

Haruka didn't react as Rin slammed the door open. He stood, fully dressed with the letter in hand, carefully looking over it as if he wanted to see if it could be a fake or something.

"Did you get it too?" Rin asked, almost out of breath with excitement.

Haruka looked up then and nodded once. He held out his letter as Rin could read it too. However, the other only needed one look at the paper to determine it was the same thing they'd got.

"The way this is going I highly doubt there'll be a need for a plan B," Rin said with a wide grin before hurrying back to the kitchen to help out by laying the table. Haruka followed shortly after, but was send away again to go drag Kisumi out of bed and tell Rei that breakfast was ready.

They were all gathered and sat around the table to have breakfast together. It was a tradition they tried to keep on Sundays. It didn't always work out because sometimes Kisumi had a shooting early in the morning and sometimes Makoto would take an extra shift in the hospital for the sake of another doctor. Sometimes Nagisa would stay at Momo's place or Rin would stay at Sousuke's, but they all tried to stick together at least.

"When are you retiring from modelling?" Makoto asked Kisumi.

"It won't be long now," Kisumi answered with a saddened smile. "Until the end of May I guess and then I've already gotten a spot at the stylist education,"

"What is it going to mean for our economy?" Rei asked concerned.

Kisumi thought. "I won't be able to bring in any money until I'm done educating. But seeing as the job as a full-time model has brought in a lot of money it's not going to be a big issue," he finished.

Rei still looked concerned.

"So, Rin-chan?" Nagisa looked over at Rin. "What'd the letter say?"

Rin nodded. "Oh yeah, Haru and I have been chosen to swim for the national junior team during the international swim tournament in Australia," he said while smiling around at everyone. Haruka made a small imitation of a nod.

Makoto smiled. "That's great news. When is it?" he asked.

"Don't know… by the end of June and a couple of days ahead of that," Rin said.

"The tournament starts half way through Golden Week but we leave at the beginning for pre practice in Australia," Haruka answered.

"Will you be able to make it back in time for school?" Kisumi asked.

"Probably not," Rin said before eying the clock. "We've got extra practice today! Haru, hurry," Rin said before swallowing his food. Haruka hurried as well. If they didn't they would be late for the practice.

"When's it done?" Kisumi called out as the two got up and went to wash their dishes.

"Around 1 in the afternoon," Rin said.

"Good, when you're done and get out, go down the street to the left and then turn right. Continue that way until you see a white building with huge windows on your right hand. I'll wait for you outside," Kisumi said.

"What's that for?" Makoto asked. He hadn't heard any of this before now either.

"I have been asked to bring you all along for today's photo shooting. I think they're planning something big about me for next month's issue of the model magazine. You have also been asked to do interviews later on," Kisumi answered with a bright smile.

"Couldn't you inform us of that a bit earlier next time?" Rei complained as he placed his chopsticks on top of his bowl to show that he was done.

Kisumi smiled. "I thought it'd work better as a surprise," he said.

"It sure is interesting," Makoto said. "When are the rest of us going to meet there?" he then asked.

"I'll bring you along when I leave," Kisumi answered.

"Well, we're off," Rin said from the hallway. While the others had been talking, Rin and Haruka had packed their bags and were now on their way out. "We'll see you this afternoon then,"

"See you," Kisumi waved.

"Have fun!" Nagisa reminded them before the door closed and Rin and Haruka ran down the stairs to make it to practice in time.

I'd just like to say thanks for the reviews, favorites and followers this story has gained so far. I'm glad to see that people like it, and also that people want to read it. It is much appreciated.

I have nothing else to say right now. As it happens, I'm really busy with school these days and tired at nighttime, so I have no energy to come up with anything interesting to write in the A/N. But the story is much more important, so it doesn't matter.

I'll see you next time.
