I remembered grandma took me to the beach when I was little to set off fireworks. It was one of my more happy memories. "Kana-chan are you ok?" I turn to Lucy who gave me a worried look. "Huh? Oh! Sorry I just remembered when I was little I used to go set fireworks off on the local beach. It was fun being there at night. The stars would be out and the lighting from the fireworks made it…" "Magical?" I turned curious "yeah, anyways let's get our nails done I want light purple and dark purple stripes." I ran off excited to be away from the hosts. I was doing what a girl did… I think? Lucy was texting on her phone like a mad woman. Probably Mori… wait! Does mori talk on the phone? Wow I think I just found something new about thee mystery guy? (no its all in your head.)

The beach? Kaoru

She wants to go to the beach? Hikaru

Yes… oh and buy the cheap self set fireworks from _ I heard she used to set them off at night with family. Lucy

Really? Ok thanks! Kaoru

Haruhi and I were becoming more hysterical thinking of how the boys are running around panicking and trying to get things together. It was almost… stressful. But I knew I could count on them. Oooooo pink nail polish! With glitter stars! Must have! (Sweat drop…I worry sometimes about Lucy getting off track. ^.^')

Paranoid! I am very paranoid right now! its been 4 hours and the twins haven't called me once, Haruhi looks like she wants to say something but keeps shutting her mouth and Lucy is squealing and texting every time I go to look at something interesting? This is just too… normal! And so wrong!

"So when are you going to tell everyone your dating Kaoru and Hikaru? Oh and that their living with you this summer?" I stopped looking at the big fat fluffy plushy cat to stare at Haruhi "i-I um… don't really want too." I squeezed the poor plushy "you know they're going to find out so why not just tell them?" Lucy asked eyeing the plushy black bear that resembled Mori a bit.

"What would they think? People would think I am… disgusting, or a freak. Tamaki would throw a fit! He would make a big deal out of it and so would others." I saw the girls make the same expression as me knowing that Tamaki would lose his head over this. Lucy sighed replying in the motherly tone "you know what! He'll get over it. I mean should we remove your rights because they are a bit different? Or should we make exceptions in order to provide same basic rights the rest of us enjoy and take for granted? If others don't like it then they don't. The only people you need to think about is what you think about it. Your friends already approve of the relationship. Kaoru and Hikaru approve of it too. That's all that matters! Now...let's go out for dinner." Lucy began to pull me and Haruhi out of the mall. I could say I was shocked hearing Lucy act like the adult of the group. And she was right. I am my own person. If people don't like me it's their own problem. All I need is my friends by my side. ^.^

"Wait where are we going for dinner that's so far out of town?" Lucy threw a box at me and I barely reacted to catch it. *open* "flip flops? Why do I need these?" "No questions change shoes." I was now really confused as I took off my shoes and put on the red flip flops. "Haruhi?" I asked as I felt something go over my eyes "hey what are you doing?" "no peeking it's a surprise!" I felt the blindfold on my eyes and didn't struggle to take it off because I felt fighting would only get me nowhere. "Where here keep the blindfold on! And this" I felt a pair of earphones cover my ears. Great deaf and blind are not a good combo for me! I was guided out of the car and down a pavement. A few minutes and the hard pavement turned to… wood? I couldn't tell. Two lefts, a door, straight, and a right I was stopped. she took off the headset and blindfold but I still couldn't see anything. "Ok were WE? Why is it dark? Guys!" a flip was switched and people jumped out "HAPPY BIRTHDAY KANA!" I jumped back at least 10 feet thinking WHAT THE F-ING HELL! "My birth- what? No that can't be my birthday is on July 4th" everyone laughed as Haruhi handed me my phone with the calendar up. Today was… July 4th "OMG I forgot my birthday!" the twins came around hugging me. "Happy birthday Kana-chan."

I hugged them back "thank you… one thing though are we?" the windows that had been covered up with paper wear torn down and I couldn't believe my eyes. We were at the beach! "Hello Ms. Tsubasa, Ms. Fujioka, and Ms. Valentine, the room and selection has been prepared. This way please!" I was ushered from the decorated party room and into another filled with swim suits. "Not again!" Haruhi and Lucy shrugged looking for a certain swim suit… that wasn't OMG that is just string! Perverts! Every last one of them!

I went and picking a two piece blue camouflage suit but didn't change, Lucy picked the black and pink, while Haruhi went for the frilly pink two pieces. "every time apparently huh?" Lucy shrugged to Haruhi. "Yeah but at least this time we don't go on anymore cliffs!" "What?" Lucy and Haruhi explained to me about drunken guys, a cliff, and Tamaki's temper… "hey why aren't you changing?" I jolted up squeezing the suit "um… I… I will, over there." I went into a changing stall and took off my clothes looking at the burn and knife wound. Placing on the suit I could still see the burn. "Um Haruhi! Lucy!" I came out showing them my problem. "oh I totally forgot! Here!" Haruhi went into the mess of clothes and pulled out a button up white shirt. I smiled putting it on and ran out of the room with them. "Come on the guys are probably already hogging the beach!" I saw the twins swimming, Honey burying Mori's lower half, and Tamaki looking like he was thinking pervy thoughts. "Go cover up immediately!" Tamaki shouted looking our way. We looked at each other then ran passed him into the water. I laughed splashing Lucy and Haruhi before swimming away. I soon playing beach volleyball against the twins, Lucy and Mori were sitting somewhere relaxing watching Honey play, but Tamaki and Haruhi were no were to be found… are they? No... No way. Tamaki is too weird to even try! "Kana-chan lets go open presents and eats the cake!" Honey grabbed me and we all ran back into the house. Tamaki and Haruhi were already there relaxing. I think they were about to kiss when we interrupted… oops!

"My darling! Happy birthday!" I turned to see… Ranka? Kenichi, Kenji, Daichi! The four arrived stomping over Tamaki and placing me in a hug. "Glad you could make it! Were just about to have cake." The twins said coming out holding a layered blue/green swirl cake. "You invited them? You guys!" I hugged my bfs before spotting a couple eyes. I released quickly "yeah it was… interesting seeing them come to our house and saying we were coming to the beach for your birthday. I thought they still hated us?" I laughed as Ranka placed 17 candles on my birthday cake (I changed your age to now being 17. Sorry!) "Make a wish Kana-chan!" Daichi and Honey said with wide eyes. I blew out the candles thinking nothing was better than what I had right now..
