When Satu woke up the light from the morning sun made him shut his azure eyes quickly once again. It seemed like it was going to be another increadibly sunny day. He streched letting his body soak up the warm rays comming in through his window before he got himself out of bed. It looked like it was going to be a very nice Saturday indeed. Satu went and took a quick shower before going back to his room to get changed. As he put on a plain white t-shirt an idea struck him. 'Why don't we all go to the beach for the long weekend?!' Satu thought suddenly.
His parents had a summer masion by the coast and it would be the perfect location to have a beach party. He was sure his parents wouldn't really mind. After he changed quickly he bounded down the stairs two at a time to the kitchen when he asked him mother if he could borrow the beach house. "Well all your sisters are away from the summer, except for Luca that is so I guess you can...aslong as you bring Luca with you that is." his mother said brightly. Satu nodded. He got on well with his twin sister even though she was a year behind him in school. He had never introduced her to his friends yet so he descided that it may be time to do that.
Satu walked over to his sister who was lazing on the couch in the front room reading "Cloud Atlas" by David Michell. "Would you like to join me at the summer home for a beach party with my friends?" he asked her kindly. She nodded happily. "Can I ask some of my own friends to come along then?" she asked him, her voice high and sweet. She looked very much like the female version of Satu, though her blond hair was all the way down to her tail bone. "Of course. Invite them now then so we have start the party this evening then." he said as he walked back upstairs to get his phone. He rang up all of his friends from Ouran politely inviting them to a 3 day beach party in the beach mansion.
He gave them directions to the house and told them when to arrive and what would be the correct attire. In general it was easier for people if they knew the general dress code. The dress code of the mansion was neat but not overly formal, though all the girls would have to wear skirts or dresses. Satu was never really sure why it was like this but he wouldn't argue with his parents about it. After all they were letting a group of teenagers have a party in their mansion without parential supervison. There would be butlers there but it wasn't the same thing really.
After inviting all his Ouran friends he got a bag of clothes together making sure to remember to pack his swimming trunks then he walked downstairs seeing that Luca was already ready. Their shauffer brought them to the mansion by mid afternoon. By the time they got there the mansion was already lavishy decorated in accordance to the beach party theme. Satu sighed. Of course it would be completely overdone. After all he was the only boy and when he took interest in anything social his parents were so happy that they went completely overboard. He sat out in the sun wearing red board shorts with orange hawaiian flowers on them and a white shirt sleeved shirt which he had left open. It was too hot to cover up in reality not matter how much Satu liked to expose himself. He lay in the sun waiting for his guests to arrive excited about the weekend infront of them.

[[ Well, here I go...xD; ]]
Hamako patted down the sidewalk, finally catching a glimpse of the beach and the mansion Hamako was said to be staying at for the weekend. "I guess it is alright that I came..." Hamako thought to herself. "Luca had invited me...And I guess it is not called an intrusion..." Though Hamako had not known Luca for long, she was surprised to receive an invitation from her to join her at a stay at Mansion surrounded by a beach for the weekend. It had been quite a while before Hamako had actually stayed in another's household, especially since she hasn't been out of her own home lately.
Hamako sighed. She felt like she was walking deeper and deeper into a foreign area she will never come to understand. Hitched on her left arm was Lucas, who sat silently always watching straight ahead. "Well, we have quite a walk until we finally reach the mansion." Hamako spoke to her doll. Of course, the doll did not reply with an answer and Hamako had already suspected this. "I guess taking a break won't be too much harm..." she added. Purchasing a vanilla cone from a vendor, it had also been a while since she bought such food like so. But she had to make due, as it seemed to be the only nourishment she could obtain cold to help her through the heat.
Sitting on a metal side bench, she watched out toward the beach behind her. As the water swelled up and down in a stagnant flow, Hamako tilted her head. There seemed to be a peaceful feeling augmenting from the water like so, though she could not name it. But by the time she had went into thought, she had also finished her ice cream. "Well, time to continue." she said toward her speechless companion as she hitched him into the same position he held before in her left arm. Tilting her sun cap down a little more to shield the sun, she began to walk.

Mitsuko leaped out of the limo, reaching back in to grab her bag. Thanking her chauffeur, she waved to him as he drove away. "What a nice day." She chirped as she tilted her head back to look at the sky, shielding her eyes with one of her hands. Unsurprisingly, Mitsuko wore a white sundress that was decorated with light pink ribbons. Her bronze-colored hair was pulled up, and a small pink flower clip kept her bangs out of her face. The bag that she held - packed mainly with some clothes and sunscreen - was pink as well. She was probably recognizable to her classmates from a mile away.
"Now," She spoke up suddenly, glancing left and right, "Which way was Satu's summer mansion again?" The girl furrowed her brows in thought, perking up suddenly as she remembered that her maids - thank goodness - had written down the directions for her, and had even drawn her a little map (It was better to be safe than sorry with Mitsuko).
She pulled out of the sheet of paper from her bag, sitting down on the grass cross legged as she examined it. "So, I'm here right now," She murmured, tapping at the spot on the map she had been dropped off at, "So I should go...this way." Standing up, she slung her bag over her shoulder as she started in what she hoped was the right direction.
After only a bit of walking, she found that she could see a mansion a little distance away. "Thank goodness mansions are usually so big." She laughed, shaking her head with relief. "I wonder who else Satu-kun invited? And if there's anyone else there yet?" She dug her cellphone out of her bag to check the time. "A little early." Mitsuko said, slowing her pace a little. Since she was so close to it already, there was no need to hurry.
She closed her eyes as she neared the beach. Everything was quite silent, aside from the waves and the occasional cry of a seagull. She listened to the waves contently, feeling herself sink a little in the sand with each step she took. "It's so nice here." Mitsuko smiled, opening her eyes as she reached the mansion. "Satu-kun really is lucky to have a mansion in such a pretty place."
She wondered whether or Satu would be indoors or if he was outside somewhere and she had passed him. Regardless, she rose a hand to knock at the door, peering back over her shoulder to watch the ebb of the water as she waited.

She did not want to be here. She did not want to be on the way to some beach party in the middle of nowhere. Not in this old black car that was owned by her best friend and psychotic woman and head maid of her house. Why was she even here to begin with if she didn't want to be here? She would surely destroy, or come as close as she could, Mazuka for dragging her here.
Why couldn't he send a postcard that I could have just torn up?!
---------
Two hours earlier~
Mazuka let a smile dance on her lips after copying down the information from the voice machine. The kid seemed nice and she was sure that Tarii was crushing on him somehow. Then again she did peek into the rich girl's journal so that was how she knew obviously.
"Karin you got a message!~" Mazuka chimed, looking up at the giant stairs that led to the second floor, holding the notepad in her hand.
Tarii blinked lightly, her head turning away from the vanity mirror, looking towards her room entrance. Soon enough Mazuka stormed in, waving around a notepad with some form of excitement in those eyes. Something good or bad was happening. Somehow the latter was what she expected. Of course Mazuka would think its amazing. "Yes, Mazu, what is it?"
Mazuka grinned was kept in place as she read Kimura's letter to the girl. She didn't even notice the complete look of displeasure and shock mixed into Tarii's expression during the whole reading. "So what do you think, Karin?" Her eyes lifted up only to see that Tarii was primping her hair while staring into the vanity mirror. She had completely ignored her! "Hey, Karin! I said what do you-"
"I know what you said," Tarii sharply retorted, her eyes now meeting Mazuka's again. "Call and tell him I refuse."
Mazuka looked astonishingly at her. It was the first time Tarii ever talked that way to her. "W-Why not?! Its a beach party. I know you like beaches, Tarii, so don't say you don't!"
"Don't care," Tarii snapped back once more. "I am refusing. And don't think threatening with distasteful pie will work this time."
Mazuka glared at her. My pies are not distasteful! "Well I do care! You are not going to stay in here all day. Besides this is a good way to get away from your psycho piano teacher!"
Tarii groaned. She would rather take a lesson with Baba right now than to be around him. But then Mazuka would never go away. "Fine, I'll go if you shush and drive me."
---------
Now~
"Call me when you want me to come and get you, okay?" Mazuka chimed happily from the driver seat car window, Tarii already outside. "I'll be around the area!~ Bye now Karin!" With that the noisy house maid drove off.
Tarii grumbled. Due to a silly dress code she was wearing a blue tank top, a long shiny blue skirt going to her ankles and blue dressy looking sandals. She was wearing a green bandanna on top of her hair and a pair of tinted glasses that looked like they were sunglasses. It looked ridiculous. She looked ridiculous
Sighing she walked towards the giant mansion creeping up to her eyes. Oh how she did not want to come here.

As soon as Audric hung up his cellphone, he collasped in a heap onto his bed. At first he was slightly hesitant to pick up the phone, and now Audric wished he hadn't picked it up. Then at least he could of made up some stupid excuse about how his phone deleted Satu's message. But now he was trapped; it was impossible for Audric to say no to anyone, let alone a friend. And if he didn't leave his room soon everyone would begin to think something was up. A few months ago Audric would be jumping up and down in gitty excitment and stuffing a bag full of clothes, but lately the last thing he wanted to do was be around other people.
Reluctantly, Audric forced himself off his bed and began to rumage through his drawers for some acceptable clothing. Satu ran him through what should be worn, but the things he named were normalities in Audric's closet. He chose a couple pair of pants and shorts, either black or green, a few collared shirts. Despite the weather, Audric packed his long black coat. This way he'd be able to hide himself if he so pleased. Last but not least, he grabbed his one and only swimsuit. Audric's parents had a pool, but his younger sisters were really the only ones who used it. Of course, it was green with a few patches of white. To add to the embarrassment, it was a speedo. Audric had trunks to wear over it, but the idea of wearing it around other people seemed unbearable! Hopefully there wouldn't be too much actual swimming involved.
As Audric started for the door, he stopped suddenly and dropped his bags to go search for something. He returned with a couple books to pose as reasons for his detachment. They were all pretty crummy and Audric really wasn't one for reading, but they would have to do.
Once downstairs, Audric left a little note on the table telling his parents where he'd be. He hadn't asked their permission to go, but they wouldn't mind. Audric's parents were much too busy with work to care what their son did for one measely weekend. He wrote quickly and was out the door before any of his siblings could find him and begin 20 questions. Outside, the bright and happy weather surrounded Audric and made him feel even worse. It seemed nothing cared about the ordeal he was experiencing at the moment. If life was a cartoon, there would be a dark cloud following Audric and raining on him wherever he went.
In reality it didn't take Audric long to get to Satu's mansion, but since he was use to someone else driving him, it seemed like hours. But Audric hadn't felt like hunting down one of the drivers and wasting all that time. As he got closer and closer to the estate, the mansion grew larger and larger until it covered the sky. Audric's stomach began to knot up at the thought of playing a happy partygoer. When he finally reached the entryway, Audric found familiar faces already ahead of him. At the front door was Mitsuko wearing a light dress that rustled in the breeze. Another girl was just nearing the door. Audric couldn't put a name to her face, but he must have at least seen her before.
Looking at them both Audric suddenly felt overdressed. Both came in light, colorful outfits while he was wearing a dark long-sleeved shirt with black pants. Then his mind thought back to the bright green swim trunks; they were the only thing he brought that would match them. Oh this is going to be humiliating! Audric thought with a sigh. Though it was nice to see Mitsuko again. Perhaps she could brighten his mood.
Putting on a smile, Audric grabbed his bag and hopped out of the car. He started for the door and called out, "Mitsuko! You look lovely today."And because I couldn't resist~ PMS-y Audric and Beach Audric! Thanks for the idea dinyana~~

Satu lay in the sun, his eyes closed as he quietly hummed to himself. He hoped this weekend was going to be fun. Even if some people didn't sound to enthusiastic and for some he could only get the answering machine. But it would have been a shame to waste such a nice weekend on staying indoors and practicing his music. He knew he should be doing that really but for once he really didn't mind.
It was Luca who opened the door when the bell rang, since Satu was outside and occupied with humming quite loudly to himself at the time. She sighed and walked to the door, her very long blond hair flowing behind her. She opened the door and greeted the guest, who was Mitsuko. "Welcome to the Kimura mansion. You must be Satu's friend!" she said with a smile and bowed to the girl. It was strange for Satu's friends to be her upperclassman. After all she was his twin and the same age as him. A bout of illness when she was supposed to start middle school restrained her to a bed for a year so she had to start a year later then Satu.
"Please come in. You can leave your stuff in one of the guest bedrooms. They're located on the third floor to the left. You can take whichever one you like. Satu's out back by the pool so whenever you're ready you can join him. I'll tell him you're here." she addressed both Mitsuko, Audric and Tarii in this statement, seeing that they were all standing out in the front porch.
As the group trailed in, some more reluctently then others she left them to the maid and she went out back to Satu, who was now singing quite loudly to himself. It could be heard in the hall where the group of friends stood. Satu was a good singer, a very good singer infact, but he didn't like anyone else knowing that. They may want him to do something with the talent and he really didn't want to. When his sister came outside he was singing one of the songs from "Les Miserable" quite loudly but stopped the instant his sister came in, his cheeks flushing pink. She giggled. "Your friends are here Val Jean." she said with a wink before going back into the house. Satu grumbled embaressedly before following her into the house to meet his guests.

It was funny really; Minori thought, her head leaning on the car window and staring up at the clouds as they passed by. How her mother had expressively forbidden her to go out ever since her last escapade out to her ballet lesson, yet when she had gotten Satu's call, and was about to politely reject his invitation; her mother had overheard, and firmly told her to go.
Family relations and all that. Music and fashion...well yes, she could see the link. At least it wasn't something totally unrelated. Hard to when your uncle's family was a prominent shipping company, and the fashion industry had lots of connections. But still.
I wish she'd make up her mind sometimes.
Why did her mother sometimes say one thing, then mean another? Why did she show some love to her, then just pull away, and be so cold and uncaring?
What was her mother thinking really?
Her father had said that her design was beautiful, yet mother...mother said it wasn't up to standard. She had sorted through her designs with a disdainful eye, and said that it wasn't enough.
The effort Minori had put in was not enough. Her skill was not enough.
It was never enough to her mother, was it?
"It's so confusing." She mumbled to herself, and the chauffeur shifted in his seat, as if he wanted to say something in reply, then decided not to pry. Instead, he informed the young lady. "We're almost there, Young Mistress."
She managed to offer him a smile and a nod, and went back to stare sullenly out of the window. Her mood was reflected in the black she was wearing though, the orange sunglasses perched on her carefully styled hair and red polka-dotted beach bag said otherwise. Then again, those were chosen by her maid, and indirectly, her mother.
She didn't mind seeing the others, and have some fun, really. It was just that...she was very confused. Minori hoped that Mitsuko would be there. Pulling out her handphone, she typed "Are you going to Satu's beach party?" and clicked send.
It wasn't long till the car stopped, and she got out, checking her phone again for a reply.Minori's outfit ;D
