It was still dark when Haruhi heard a knock on her door. She opened the door to find Tamaki standing outside with a huge grin on his face. "Good morning!" he announced.

"What time is it?" Haruhi asked, rubbing her eyes.

"It's still early, but we need to walk to the other side of the island to get the best view of the sunrise. Fortunately the island is not very wide, and there is a path that cuts right through the middle. It shouldn't take us too long."

"Oh, right. Okay," said Haruhi remembering her promise from the night before. "I'll be just a minute." She stepped back inside to get ready to go. It did not take her long, and she soon joined Tamaki outside her bure. "Ready?" she asked.

Tamaki just stared at her, mouth agape. She was wearing a yellow sundress, dotted with tiny white flowers. She had clipped a flower into her hair as well, and she radiated sweetness and innocence. Her bright eyes fairly glowed in the remaining moonlight. "You look….very….um…..nice," he stammered. He wanted to say more, but couldn't find the words. He was too busy trying to suppress his sudden urge to sweep her into his arms and kiss her. She was his daughter! What was he thinking?

"Thank-you," she replied demurely. "We best get going or we will miss it." She took him by the hand and pulled him toward the path. The sounds of hundreds of tropical birds waking surrounded them as they walked down the path. Every now and then, a colorful blur would streak by them to land on a nearby branch. Haruhi looked around in wonder, pointing out the tiny animals when she would spot them hiding in the foliage. Tamaki held her hand and watched the excited expression on her face as they walked. He loved seeing her so animated. Too often she seemed unaffected by the world around her. She did not readily show her emotions like he usually did.

The sky was already starting to lighten by the time they reached the other side of the island. They decided to walk out onto the pier at the marina. They sat down side by side on the end of the pier just as the sun began to peek above the horizon.

"Are you glad you came?" Tamaki asked once they were settled.

"To see the sunset, or to Fiji?"

"Both."

"Yes, I am quite enjoying myself. Everyone seems to be having so much fun."

"Good," Tamaki smiled and carefully placed a protective arm around Haruhi's shoulder. She did not object and he was relieved. They sat in silence as they watched the sky change from grey to yellow to orange and finally deep red. It was just as impressive as the sunset the night before. The reflection of the sunlight danced upon the gentle waves as the glowing orb illuminated the clouds on the horizon.

"Amazing," Haruhi whispered in hushed wonderment. Perhaps it was the romantic atmosphere that overwhelmed her, but she couldn't help but lean into Tamaki's embrace as she gave his hand a gentle squeeze, her eyes still glued to the beautiful scene in front of her. Tamaki felt his heart flutter at her response.

Kyoya's words from the night before came back to her. "Red sky at night, sailor's delight; Red sky in morning, sailor's warning," she quoted.

"Pardon?" asked Tamaki, confused.

"Oh, just something Kyoya was telling me about last night," she explained. "An old saying sailor's used to predict the weather."

"Well, the sky is certainly red this morning. Is that bad?" Tamaki asked worriedly. He didn't want inclement weather spoiling his family's vacation.

"No, he said it doesn't really apply in this part of the world," she assured him, though she was not completely convinced herself.

Tamaki looked down at Haruhi and their eyes locked. There was that urge again. Tamaki wanted to kiss her. Where was that coming from? She was his daughter after all, wasn't she? He shouldn't feel attracted to her. His mind reeled in confusion, but before he had the chance to overreact, she spoke. "We best be getting back to meet the others for breakfast."

As she stood, she lost her balance and teetered over the edge of the pier. Tamaki reached out, but his fingers barely brushed the fabric of her dress before she fell into the water. He immediately dove in after her. The water was deep but clear, and he had no trouble finding her. He grabbed her by the wrist, pulled her toward him and headed for the surface. They broke through the water, gasping for air. Tamaki held her tightly as he swam for the shore. When they got close enough for him to stand, he picked her up in his arms and carried her the rest of the way.

"Are you okay?" he asked, setting her down on the shore.

"I think so…thank you," she said between coughs. "You seem to be making a habit out of rescuing me," she said after she had caught her breath. She looked up at him with a smile.

"That's what fathers are for," he declared. "Come on, let's get you back and dried off before you catch a cold." He put his arm around her and they walked back down the path to the bures.

oOoOo

When Haruhi got back to her bure, she peeled off her wet dress and showered. She had just finished dressing when there was a knock at her door. She opened the door to reveal Honey and Mori standing on the step.

"We were just going to walk over to the dining pavilion for breakfast. Would you care to join us?" Honey inquired.

"It would be my pleasure," she replied, pulling the door closed behind her. Haruhi's bure was on the end, and the closest to the main complex, so it did not take them long to get there. Kyoya and the twins were already there. Tamaki had not yet arrived. He was probably still cleaning himself up after their unexpected early morning swim.

"We saved you a seat Haruhi!" the twins announced pulling out a chair between them. Haruhi sighed and sat down in the offered seat. Sometimes it was easier just to submit.

Breakfast was an assortment of tropical fruits and pastries. A traditional western breakfast could be ordered from the kitchen if desired. Haruhi decided to start with some fruit. The fresh pineapple looked tempting. Honey was already making short work of a plate of pastries, while the twins and Mori ordered eggs and toast. Kyoya sipped a cup of coffee, but left the danish on his plate untouched while he leafed through a newspaper.

Tamaki eventually showed up, and was disappointed to find the seats next to Haruhi already filled. He reluctantly sat down between Kyoya and Honey and helped himself to some fruit, while he glared across the table at the twins.

Seeing this as an opportune time to annoy the king, Hikaru spoke up. "Haruhi, will you come spelunking with us this morning? There are nine different caves on this island we could explore." He looked toward her hopefully as Kaoru did the same on the other side.

"I don't know…" she began.

"But Haruhi," Kaoru interrupted with a whine, "you didn't go snorkeling with us yesterday either. Please come with us!" he pleaded.

"Well, I suppose we could go after breakfast for a little while," she agreed.

"Yea!!!" cheered the twins, throwing their arms around her as Tamaki continued to fume.

"Just don't be gone too long," warned Kyoya. "I have arranged for us to go sailing today. We will be leaving at 11:00. The kitchen is packing a lunch to take with us to eat on board. Make sure you are at the marina on time," he admonished.

"Yes sir!" they said, saluting Kyoya in unison.

"Um, Kyoya," Haruhi said timidly, "perhaps we should go sailing another day."

"Why?" questioned Kyoya, "I thought you said you wanted to go."

"Yes, but the sky was awfully red this morning. What if the weather turns bad?" she was embarrassed that she was concerned over a silly old saying, but if there was a storm, there could be thunder and lightning. She did not want to be out on a boat in a thunderstorm.

"Nonsense," Kyoya insisted. "I told you that is a myth, only slightly based on fact, and it does not pertain to the weather patterns in this part of the globe anyway. The plans have already been made, it would be a shame not to go because of a ridiculous rhyme."

"I guess you're right," Haruhi conceded, but she was still a bit worried. The club members finished breakfast. Kyoya dragged Tamaki with him to the marina to prepare the yacht for their sail, while Honey and Mori went to play a game of tennis. Hikaru and Kaoru whisked Haruhi away on their spelunking expedition. 'Such is the life on a tropical island,' she thought.

oOoOo

A/N: The twins are next, I promise.
