Mix Thirteen: Beach Trip

Sally tossed the blue and white T-shirt into the suitcase just as she heard the sound of a limo outside. She walked towards the window glancing out of it with a bright smile. She quickly looked in her mirror making sure that her vest was on straight before walking towards the door with her suitcase that she forced shut. She was unsure of how long they would be there but she packed at least three swimsuits with half her closet of summer outfits. As she walked down the stairs, she hummed to herself wishing that she had enough time to have made eight mix CDs but settled for the five she started work on the previous evening.

"Yo what's up party people?" She called out throwing open the door and running to where there were two limos waiting.

"Hey, Sally sorry we are a little late," Tamaki walked over to Sally and smiled. "We all woke up late so we had to run around trying to get things together."

"Ooh, I see that's cool though," Sally winked at him before walking over and pulling Haruhi into a hug. "What's up Haruki, you look rather nice, love the T-shirt, you gotta let me borrow it some time, I got a pair of hot jeans that would look good with it."

"You want to borrow my clothes?" Haruhi asked in surprise.

"Fuck yeah, you got some good taste, simple yet awesome is what I live for." Sally laughed before she let the smaller girl go. She quickly grabbed Tamaki's hand. "We all should get going now; I cannot wait to be a bronze beach babe! Though I doubt I'll tan since I am already bronzed!"

Tamaki blinked a few times at Sally's enthusiasm but nodded. "All right we're going now, please go easy on daddy."

"Ragga what?" Sally questioned tilting her head to the side and began to laugh loudly. "Dude you are not a sugar daddy, you're only a year older than me so knock that shit off."

The hosts looked at one another and then at their friend before resolving to ask him what his deal was. It could not be what they all suspected was going on. Then again, with Tamaki it was probably not what they were all thinking was going to happen.

"I spent my evening with Hachi last night," Sally said in between bites as she had raided the mini-fridge in the limo. Her hair was coming out of the messy ponytail she had out it in and her vest tossed across the top of the seat haphazardly. "We had a deep conversation. Dude's a real good listener like El Diablo."

"Who is Hachi?" Tamaki asked quickly taking her shoulders into his hands. "Is he a friend of yours? Should I be worried? Did he hurt you?"

"Dude calm the fuck down, Hachi is my homie in Shibuya," Sally wrestled herself from Tamaki's grasp. "You know the dog statue in front of the train station; I always hang out there whenever I am on my way to the ninety-nine to buy new accessories."

"A dog statue, you hang out talking to it?" Haruhi asked in surprise though she was amused by it. "Has he ever talked back to you?"

"Nah, I'd run like hell if he did," Sally stuffed another chocolate into her mouth. "I do get stares from people though; they assume I'm like those kogal chicks."

"You should make more friends that are human," Tamaki moved away from Sally though he kept his eye on her. He did not understand why he was worried so much about her. They were friends and that was all there was to it. Sure, he had a crush on her but the feelings would not be returned.

"I do have human friends," Sally finished another box of chocolates and began looking through the fridge for more. "Oh man this chocolate is like heaven! Anyone else want some?"

"What friends do you have?" Tamaki asked.

"Well duh, I am your friend," Sally rolled her eyes. "And I hang out with Haruki at school; I also started partying with Hikabro and Kaochi."

"Kaochi?"

"Kaoru," Sally stuffed a handful of chocolate into her mouth. She closed her eyes savoring the flavor. "Damn man, I never knew that chocolate from Japan could be so good!"

"I am glad you're happy,"

"Want to try it?" Sally held out a piece to Tamaki and laughed as he leaned over to take it from her. She pulled her arm back and stuffed it into her mouth. "None for Rene."

Tamaki's eyes widened. "That was mean Sally," he laughed and pinned her down as he began to tickle her.

Sally began to laugh rather loudly. "Oh my gods Rene you're gonna make me die!" she cried in between laughs. "You're not going to make me crack for not sharing with you!"

"You were teasing me," Tamaki's tickling moved down to her ribs as he looked down at Sally's red face. "Food grudges are scary remember?"

Sally laughed more and squirmed from his grasp before shoving him away. "Ooh you're gonna get it!" She quickly tackled him to the seat and started tickling him. She had forgotten that Kyouya was on the other side of them asleep. "You're going to pay for this Suou, any last words?"

"ENOUGH YOU IDIOTS!"

Sally and Tamaki both stopped what they were doing and saw that Kyouya was glowering at them. "Ooh, we pissed off Kyo…" she pulled Tamaki up before moving away. "But I don't give a fuck!"

"Miss Moore…if you and Tamaki want to be children then do so somewhere else," Kyouya growled.

"Did you just growl at me?" Sally questioned her eyes filling with anger. "If you want to sleep then I can help you find a peaceful place to do so."

"Where's that?"

"On the fucking roof of the limo," Sally growled back. "Don't act like you want to ruin our fun because we interrupted your wet dreams about Beyoncé!"

"I was not dreaming about her," Kyouya said defensively. "I was trying to sleep but instead I hear you and Tamaki acting like children."

"Uh-huh and I am the queen of the damned," Sally liked Kyouya a lot and considered him one of her friends but there were days when she wondered if he was being surly because he was in need of getting laid. "And another thing, if you want to take out your little nap time being interrupted on someone why don't you take it out on yourself? You should go to bed at night instead of trying to work through the night."

"I do sleep at night!"

"Could've fooled me," Sally sent another glare at him before turning back to Tamaki. "Anyway Rene, when we get to the beach remind me to dump sand down Kyo's swim trunks…he needs to loosen up more."

"Sally…that is a little mean don't you think?" Tamaki asked curiously.

"Not at all, it's teaching Kyo a lesson," Sally shrugged and reclined back in the seat. "Anyway who gives a fuck if he didn't sleep at all last night?"

"Sally, what are you planning?" Haruhi took note of the way the girl had a twisted smile across her face.

"Anyone got some rope?"

"I can't believe you did that!"

Kyouya glared daggers at Sally wanting nothing more than to strangle the girl. Not only had he had to endure hearing her obnoxious laughter but to add insult to injury he had to hear the same song play on the radio three times. Oh how he now loathed the American band Fall Out Boy.

"You shouldn't have pissed me off," Sally shrugged. "Anyway you should be happy that we finally relented and let you listen to one song from your oh so not secret crush Beyoncé….unless I am wrong about that."

"You…you…"

"Me…me… me what?" Sally asked leaning forward with a hand to her ear. "Do I detect the sound of a pissed off Kyo? Wonder what it sounds like?"

Tamaki and Haruhi both looked between the two before deciding to step in just in case there was an oncoming fight. They knew that while Kyouya would not harm a girl, if he was pushed over the edge he'd do something more drastic such as getting the girl deported.

"Sally, come on we should go in and unpack now," Tamaki grabbed her arm. "Kyouya needs time to cool off."

"Time to cool off?" Sally raised an eyebrow. "Well I guess you're right…he might burst into flames faster than Marilyn Manson at a Baptist revival if we don't huh?"

Tamaki snorted and started laughing though the moment he made eye contact with Kyouya he quickly picked up Sally and took off into the mansion. He knew he was a dead man later but it was worth it since the joke was funny after all.

"Oh Tamaki-sama, this view is so beautiful..."

The waves crashed against the large rock as Shiori Igawa sat with Tamaki. The two of them looking out at the beautiful blue ocean illuminated with the shining sun and the sound of the natural landscape of the beach.

"If I could gaze deep into your eyes I know the view is beautiful," Tamaki placed a hand under Shiori's chin. "My darling, please allow me to gaze deeply into the-woah!"

"Tamaki-sama?" Shiori looked around quickly taking note of Tamaki's submerged body. She placed a hand to her mouth in shock though held back laughter.

"Sally!" Tamaki shouted once he surfaced.

"You looked like you needed to cool your ass off," Sally shrugged as she stood atop the rock next to Shiori. She leaned over to get a good look at Tamaki before she let out a loud scream as she was pulled in the water. She quickly surfaced. "RENE!"

Tamaki took that as his cue to swim away. He looked back and could have sworn that Sally was running on the water. He chuckled and forgot all about tending to the guests. He knew if anything, the ladies were enjoying the show.

"Who knew those two were so close," Noted Ruri as she looked up from building a sandcastle with Haruhi. "Do you know the story about them Haruhi-kun?"

Haruhi looked up quickly. "They seem to be really great friends and I think that Sally-chan brings out a lot in senpai that we in the host club haven't been able to do."

"I do admit that Tamaki-sama is laughing more and he doesn't have that sad look in his eyes anymore," Momoka stopped filling the bucket with sand. "I do hope they continue to be friends…its fun watching them together."

Sally ran up to the beach as she leapt over the large crab crawling across the sand. She looked behind her at Tamaki who was chasing her. "Come on Rene don't you dare drag me back to that salty hell!"

Tamaki darted past though he skidded to a stop picking up the bucket that Momoka had sat down, ran back to the ocean, filled it with water and began chasing Sally again. "You're going to pay for dunking me!"

"Not my fault!" Sally screamed jumping over a sunbathing Ayame. "You're the one who needed to cool off; your little Eifel Tower was becoming taller!"

Tamaki's face flared up red in embarrassment but he did not stop running as he tried to catch Sally.

'Damn…damn…where to hide…wait!" Sally quickly dove under the table that Mori and Honey were sitting at. She peeked her head out from the table and saw Tamaki was nowhere in sight. "I think I lost him…"

"You think he went back to swim?"

Sally looked beside her and let out a loud shriek as Tamaki dumped the bucket of water on her. She scrambled from under the table and grabbed Mori's arm. "Don't pour anymore water on me Rene, Takabro is base."

"That's not fair using Mori-senpai as base!" Tamaki whined. "You can't just make up rules for our game."

"Yes I can," Sally stuck her tongue out at him. "As long as I stay with Takabro I won't get soaked."

"That's not fair," Tamaki began walking away.

"Wait Rene." Sally let Mori's arm go and chased after him. "I'm sorry I made up rules to our game…please don't be angry."

Tamaki turned around quickly scooping Sally up into his arms and spinning around with her. "I could never stay mad at my raver princess."

Sally blinked a few times. "Y-Y-Your raver princess?" she whispered. "Wait…put me down! I am not some damn tiara wearing, damsel in distress!"

"Sally wait stop squirming!"
