It was loud thumps on Luka's door that pulled her from her sleep. She rolled over in bed, the blankets coiled and wrapped around her legs and she blinked her eyes open, her hair sticking to her skin lightly and she sat up on her arm slightly rubbing her eyes with one of her hands and looked at her alarm clock. Four in the morning.

Who the hell could be here at four in the morning? She sighed laying out on her back, her shirt sliding down over her chest a little bit and she awned softly as she stretched gently a little whining moan leaving her lips gently and she sighed then as she slumped against the mattress when someone thumped on her door harder and she kicked her way out of her blankets.

She hated that she had to be up so early but as she stumbled to her door her hands rubbing her eyes hard and her hair was tangled up genlty from the position she was sleeping in and she unlocked her door pulling it open revealing both an excited Miku and an impatient Rin and she sighed rubbing the back of her head.

"What do you want? It's to early to be doing homework, I'm so tired I can't focus on it, have Meiko help you guys." She said then yawned loudly as she rubbed on eye when the two girls burst out laughing hard.

"Luka today's Saturday! You know where we're going!" Miku said bouncing on her toes a bit when she blinked softly looking down at their clothing. It was a light sundress they both wore only Miku's was green and Rin's was yellow but their bathing suit straps were obvious and Luka blinked once more as her mind slowly caught up.

"Oh. Right we're going to the beach today." Luka said slowly as she shuffled in her spot when Rin just grinned at her softly chuckling lightly.

"Come on get ready! Grab your bag and pull some shoes on and let's go!" Rin shouted making Luka smile gently at Rin's typical behavior and she nodded.

"Alright alright just go wait downstairs okay?" They both nodded then took off downstairs already stating to bicker lightly but giggled which made Luka smile and shake her head softly and shut her door.

She walked to the corner of her room grabbing her duffel bag filled with clothes and other necessary items and she ran a brush through her hair wincing as her brush moved through some tangles and she grabbed a hair tie pulling all of her thick pink hair up into a long sleek ponytail with her bangs hanging around her face gently.

She slid some flip flops on and opened her door then shut it and walked down the stairs, the slapping of her flip flops as she went down the stairs. Rin and Miku looked up then jumped as they cheered loudly but Luka quickly hushed them quick. Her parents were normally sleeping at this time but because they already did their goodbyes last night she didn't want anyone waking them up.

"Come n let's go Big Al is waiting outside with the bus he somehow scored from the school!" Miku whispered gently with excitement as they went outside and Rin giggled.

"It's awesome! I like the bus! Most of us are on, we just need to stop and get Gumi and Sonika." Rin said happily as they climbed on the bus and Luka was the last to enter.

"Morning Luka." Big Al said with a smile and she smiled back. For being twenty-three Big Al looked just like the rest of them, like he was only sixteen or seventeen.

"Morning Big Al. So this was you're idea?" She asked with a raise of her brow and the man grinned sheepishly almost.

"Yep it was! I just couldn't help it, I mean everyone was complaining there was nothing to do this summer so I just asked around as to who wanted to go to the beach and we got our group here while others are flying out to go to the Mediterranean area." Big Al explained as he grinned at her while starting the bus and pulling away from the street and going down the road. Luka leaned back in her seat as the bus bounced and rattled down the street, Miku and Rin talking excitedly behind her and she closed her eyes as her breasts bounced hard enough to make her wince at a particular big bounce and she saw Rin and Miku were blushing slightly.

"Didn't you wear a bra Luka?" Miku asked as she blushed a little more and Rin raised a pale brow at the pink haired girl who blushed furiously which wasn't that common with Luka.

"Honestly Luka it looked like you were from some type of hentai show." Rin said with a blush and though her words were a bit perverted her cheeks flamed hot with embarrassment.

"I didn't have time too! But I brought a bunch of bra's to be sure that I won't go without one. I just forgot to put one on before I left." Luka said as she blushed hotter, her arms crossing gently over her breasts to hide them from view when the bus suddenly stopped.

"Who wants to go and get Gumi?" Big Al asked as he leaned to the side looking at the bus and everyone in it when Luka got up.

"I'll go get her." Luka said as she walked down the bus steps and he opened the doors and she hopped off the last step. She walked to the house walking up the few steps it had and knocked on the door with her knuckles and waited a couple moments. When no one answered at first she rang the bell and right as she did the door swung open to reveal an alert Sonika and a groggy looking Gumi, her hair messed up but she seemed more awake when she looked at Luka by blinking lightly a bit and she smiled lightly.

"Hey, morning." She said slowly but smiled lightly all the same and Luka smiled gently feeling another tiny stutter in her heart that confused her ab it but she ignored it.

"Ready to go?" Luka asked tilting her head and Gumi smiled nodding as she slid past Sonika and the girls walked to the bus with Sonika lagging behind them and when they sat in the front seat, Luka by the window and Gumi by the isle all three girls, Miku, Rin and Gumi, got in an animated conversation about how much fun it was going to be staying at a house by the beach for the summber. Luka slowly let her eyes shut as the bus rocked her gently and she before she knew it she quickly fell asleep.


"Luka. It's time to wakey wakey~ We're hereee~." Miku sang in her ear gently and Luka woke up, her forehead a bit cool from the glass window and her side was suspiciously cold without the heat from Gumi that she didn't know she liked surprisingly. She looked up at Miku realizing it was much more lighter and she blinked.

"What time is it?" She said her voice a bit croaky and Miku smiled gently handing her a water bottle.

"It's five-fifty. Here take a sip." Miku said gently as Luka took a series of giant sips from the water bottle and wiped the water frm her lips as she smiled softly at Miku.

"Thank you. Where is everyone?" She asked as they both slid out of the seat and Miku stretched gently and smiled at Luka.

"They're all at the house right now sorting out rooms. You're gonna love the room you and Gumi got, I'm actually jealous! Oh and don't worry about your bag Big Al took it inside." Miku said as they climbed off the bus and Luka's ears were filled with the crashing water on a shore and she inhaled salty sea water air that filled her lungs and honestly at that moment Luka could see herself living by the ocean permanently.

"I see, then let's get going then." Luka said with a smile as they walked to the house which was pretty big and was so open she loved it strangely and they entered through the back door and found that there was barely anyone out in the living room or kitchen. "Where's everyone, I thought you said they were in here."

"They are but I guess they must have gone to bed since it was a long trip and everyone was probably worn out from the drive up." Miku said thoughtfully, one teal colored nail pressing against her bottom lip lightly and then shrugged her hands moving to the little pockets in her dress. "But I'm sure you're still tired, so I'll show you to your room okay?"

"Okay." Luka said with a smile as they walked forward, the kitchen feeling huge and they pushed through a door walking down a hall and they climbed up what looked like a small stair case that moved in a spiral upwards and she blinked gently looking at it but Miku began to go up them like there was no problem, as comfortable as if it was her house.

Luka looked around then began going up the stairs after Miku wanting to catch up and when she did they were already reaching the second floor and she looked at at least sixteen rooms, some being used and some not but she knew her room was at the end of the hall because it said "Luka & Gumi's room!". She and Miku walked down the hall together, the backs of their hands brushing every once in a while and she felt Miku staring at her out of the corner of her eye.

Just before they reached the door Luka felt both of Miku's hands wrapping around her left hand and she blinked looking at Miku who looked sad almost, her hair partially hanging in front of her eyes giving them a shadow almost and Luka jerked a bit. She'd never seen Miku like this, she was always happy and cheerful but now she looked so alone, so sad.

"Luka? We're. . . always gonna be together right? All of us? For a long time right?" Miku asked sounding like an uncertain child, tears beginning to well in her teal eyes.

"Of course we are Miku, why wouldn't we be?" Luka asked as she looked at Miku in surprise but when Miku lifted her head, her eyes bright with the welling tears and she clutched onto Luka's hand tighter as the tears spilled down onto her pale cheeks.

"I'm scared Luka, scared you'll leave me and Rin behind. You and Gumi seem so well together like you don't need me and Rin and it. . .it scares me a lot that you might leave me behind. Leave both of us behind." Miku said softly as she blinked causing new tears to run down her cheeks and Luka turned facing her fully and moved her arms around Miku pulling her head to her chest gently and stroked the back of Miku's head softly.

"I love you and Rin so much Miku, I could never leave the both of you behind ever. You're the best friends I've always had, the sisters I've never had and I could never leave you behind ever. I love you both to much to ever do that. Don't you get that? I know I don't say I love you a lot but I do and I mean it when I say I love you and Rin both. You're closer to me than anyone in this entire world understand? Just because me and Gumi seem to be getting along better doesn't mean either of us will leave you to behind so stop worrying about it okay?" Luka said gently as she continued stroking the back of Miku head as her tears wet her chest and Luka smiled soft hugging Miku tighter then pulled back a little bit.

"Okay, I understand but please don't leave me behind." Miku said softly and Luka smiled gently kissing her forehead.

"Don't worry I won't. Now get some sleep, you get emotional when you don't get a lot of it." Luka smiled a little more when Miku gave a little weak laugh then looked at herwith light happiness.

"Alright. I'll see you later." Miku said then turned walking to a room that said "Rin and Miku's room ~^-^~" and Luka smiled then walked to her room twisting the knob and walking in then she shut the door sighing out. She loved Miku so much and the fact that this came up made her wonder if she really was getting closer to Gumi. She walked to her bed putting her duffle bag down and she laid out on the bed closing her eyes softly when a squeak of springs got her attention and she sat up on her elbow seeing Gumi walking over only to freeze like she'd been caught doing something bad.

"Gumi? What're you doing?" Luka asked with confusion but Gumi blushed, the color strangely visible even in the darkness of the room.

"I couldn't sleep and because sometimes I sleep better with someone I was wondering if I could sleep with you." Gumi said softly then looked down in embarrassment and Luka blinked gently and because the bed was bigger than her own at home she just patted the mattress.

"Come on then. It isn't weird, I mean all of us used to share beds together before so come on and lay down I need to get some sleep." Luka sighed out gently but smiled as Gumi ran over and climbed in right next to Luka and she smiled rather sweetly at her and the blush disappeared and she shut her eyes as did Luka.

Though before she was able to sleep successfully she felt the heat rolling off of Gumi, the sweet scent that was completely Gumi fill her senses and her soft breathes seemed to echo through Luka's head and she wondered if Gumi just understood what kind of cuteness she was and how she was rubbing off on Luka.

In what way she wasn't sure but the feeling of someone else in her bed was amazing strange as it was and just as she let out a breath she fell asleep with the sensation of someone grabbing her hand softly and tangled up their fingers together but she didn't care at that moment for she was just to far gone in her deep, imageless sleep.
