   It was Friday of course, but the club had different ideas then to stay peacefully in their usual club room. The past few days at the club had been peaceful—I knew it was too good to be true.

    That's how I was on the beach with my toes wrestling the sand.

   I cringed remembering a certain blondes words....

    'The sun will make you instantly feel better! Come, come, y/n! Feel the beautiful sun rays as they bless you!'

    "Haru-Chan! Lets play a game!" I almost tripped over myself as someone slammed into my backside. I turned my head to see Honey's golden ones. "Oh! N/n-chan! It's you, I thought you were your Haru-chan!"

    I looked at my sister. She was talking to the twins. It's true, we do look almost identical from a quick glance, it didn't help that we were in matching outfits.

    My hairs a little longer than I'm able to clip parts of it back and our faces were slightly different I suppose....

   "Sorry, she's over there—"

   "—thank's!" He jumped off me. Before he took off, he looked at me. "Hey, Y/n?"

   "Wazzup?" 

   "Please let me know if there's anything you need okay? I'll send over Tadashi right away!"

   It was something in his eyes, a slight mood shift but I caught it. "Of course."

    I crouched down and carefully poked at a seashell. Careful to not get sand on my fingers, I used a stick to help me out. I watched as the Twins and Honey messed with my sister.

    The beach was however beautiful, thank you to Kyouyas rich ass family for investing in a private beach ig... one up to them. I even wrote a poem about the place.

    "HEADS!"

    I looked up to be smacked face to face with a volleyball. I flew backwards and landed straight on my ass.

  'Great, so much for keeping the sand off me.'

    My eyesight settles on Kaoru's face. His eyebrows pressed tightly together. One of the other girls also comes and helps me up. She starts patting the sand off my body, Kaoru moved his hands to help.

   "Oh my gosh, are you okay Y/N?" She asks me. My hearing finally worked. All I gave her was a nod. "I told Hikaru to take it easy!"

   "He can be such a bully sometimes." Kaoru sighs.

   "How'd he even hit me? I'm like—four miles away?" I rubbed my nose, definitely going to be bruised later.

   I interlock my arms with Kaoru and walk back to where everyone was. Hikaru gave me an apology but I just waved it off. He walks me to my sister who tosses me an ice pack before leaving again. She smiled at me.

    "I thought you didn't like the beach, n/n?" She teased.

   "I don't." I shook my sandals. "Look at me, I'm dragging sand onto the blanket."

    She turned her head forward, I followed her lead. "Its not that big of an issue, i suppose..." she paused. "This makes me sick."

    There was a line of girls leading up to a rock. On that rock was Tamaki jumping around like a monkey. If I focused hard enough, I'll be able to hear him reciting Shakespeare.

    "What does?"

    "Tamaki."

    "What? His line of girls."

    She shudders, "like what, why?"

    "I dunno."

     We continue to make fun of all the girls fawning over the club members. That's before someone spoke to us.

   "You're not going to swim?" We jumped. The girl threw her arms up alarmed and quickly apologized.

   "oh hello, Momoka." Haruhi greats. She must be one of the regulars. "Sorry we just get easily sidetracked. What were you asking?"

   "I'm sorry! I just saw you two sitting all alone and couldn't help myself. I was just wondering if you guys wanted to take a swim with me and some of the other girls?" She tucked her short hair behind her ears.

    At this moment, two other girls strolled up.

   "Ahh" Haruhi looked at me then at her again. "Well I enjoy watching the ocean more than avtu swimming in it. Besides, the doctors actually recommend if Y/n doesnt go in the water."

     One of the girls piped up, "Oh gosh, that's horrible!"

    "Not so bad! I can get my ankles wet, but anything past my knees is a no-go." I made an 'X' signal with my arms.

   "Oh good! Then, is it alright if we join you?" Another girl asked.

   "Why? Go take a dip! You're all wearing cute swimsuits, too!" Haruhi argued.

    The girls squealed. It took some back and forth before the girls finally agreed to go to the water solo.

   At some point, the honey forcibly dragged Haruhi off to look for..'hells'? I'm pretty sure he means shells but whatever.

   Men were throwing all types of shells and crabs and different types of treasures outside a huge truck. I saw that there were buckets piled up high and there was like a long line of men.

    They chanted, "hup hup hup hup" and scattered the buckets everywhere.

   It was kinda cute watching Haruhi and honey play for a bit. I guess that settles the question what dinners going to be... I doubt I'll be able to actually stomach any of it.

    I snapped my head to the girls screaming about some bug, gosh. What was it, a centipede?

    I watched Haruhi pluck the centipede off the crab and tossed it.

   She actually tossed it far too—oh my god. Someone sign her up to play quarterback.

   I couldn't help but let time drift away. I put my head on my knees and watched the club mess with Haruhi. Soon, it was golden hour and that concluded the beach episode.

   My joints actually popped when I layed out straight again, but Haruhi was nowhere to be seen.

   I scanned the beach to see her walking down the edge of the water. Probably only enough to get her feet wet. It took a while for me to fully stand up, but when I looked up again Haruhi was down the beach.

   Actually, she was doing a fast jog down the beach, before scaling a rock. She was carrying something in her arms. I jumped at this and quickly made my way to her.

    What in the world is she doing? The day is over, from what I remember, the episode ended here. So what side quest is she doing?

    "Haru..hi?" I called out to her. My voice fell flat onto her ears.

     I look ahead and suddenly I remembered what episode this was. Two borlic men were standing at the end of the cliff. Behind them were the three girls from earlier, now terrified.

    Haruhi throws her bucket of shellfish at one of the boys.

     "Ah! Ow! What the fuck?!" They whipped their heads around and I knew this was going to get ugly quickly.

    "Why don't you guys get lost already? They don't like you come on! They're saying it's annoying." Haruhi clutched the bucket.

    The girls all called out to Haruhi. I quickly joined her up there, a few steps behind her.

    "Damn, you've got skinny arms."

    I couldn't stop one of the boys from holding Haruhi's shirt. I called for Tamaki and the others, waving my arms before locking eyes with Kyouya. That's when I got grabbed by my arms.

    The girls quickly escaped and booked it to the host club.

    "Who do you think you're yelling at?" He shook me violently. "Stop trying to act like a hero when you look so girly!"

    I felt myself being dragged to the end of the cliff. I tried using my toes to find some sort of grip. I looked backwards, the tide was aggressive today.

   We kicked and scratched at their arms. Haruhi was leaning more back then I was, and my heart fell.

    "Kids like you should just go bathe..."

    "Haruhi-y/n!" Tamaki shouted.

    "... in the sea!"

   The first guy completely flung Haruhi off the rock, I was dropped next. However, I immediately changed my form to a dive. And landed semi-perfectly.

    For a second my body went into shock, the waves tossed me left and right and pulled me under further.

   I was able to open my eyes and spot Haruhi a few feet away from me. I quickly pushed deeper down. Trading oxygen for distance.

   She was cold, but everything was cold here. I put an arm across her chest and slowly hoisted us upward at a direction.

    My chest felt as if were going to collapse in on itself. I felt like I was being suffocated and my lungs burned.

   I pushed onwards up. The surface looked so close, but every stroke it only looked as if it were getting farther.

   'I need someone...anyone...'

   My vision was starting to blur and I wondered if I could even pull us up any further.

   I squeezed her hand and pulled.

   'Haru...I'm sorry.'

   Suddenly the water moved agressivly. The sand kicked up before I saw a familiar face.

   Tamaki.

   I quickly gave him Haruhi. He hoisted her in one arm and went up. I weakly followed behind. I flared my arms around the moment my head bobbed above water.

  I took a huge gasp of air.

   My eyes burned and I couldn't help but let out a few coughs. I weakly followed the voice of the host club members and after Tamaki.

    It took about two whole minutes for us to fully make it to shore, each second felt like an eternity. 

    I crawled onto shore. There the twins hoisted me up onto my feet, however I had my eyes dead set on Haruhi. Everyone was in a panic, but she just jumped down as if nothing happened.

     "Those men have been taken care of and a doctor is on his way." Kyouya explained.

     "Perfect—"

     "—I'm fine. I don't need a doctor, but call one for Y/n." Haruhi cuts off Tamaki.
   
    "Are you one of those?... Like you're actually a martial arts master like Honey-senpai?" He shoots right back.

    This catches Haruhi off guard, "Excuse me?"

    "Why do you think one girl like you can take on guys?" He asks.

    "This has nothing to do with being a guy or a girl. At that point in time, I didn't have time to think about that."

    "Think about it a little, idiot! You're a girl!"

    "What's the big deal? I had Y/N there with me, remember?"

   "Oh yeah? Your sick sister put up a better fight in the water than you did!" Tamaki leaned down to my height and inspected me. "How far away is that doctor? She looks as if she's going to disintegrate at any moment."

    "Listen here, I apologize for causing trouble, but I don't see any other reason I should be scolded for. I didn't do anything wrong!"

     My stomach started turning.

     "That's how it is? Then do whatever you want. I won't talk to you until you accept the fact you were wrong." He whipped around to Haruhi again.
    
    "Hey...Guys?" I called out weakly.

    "Yeah, n/n?"

    My mouth filled up with saliva. "I don't feel well..."

     I threw up right there. Violently at that too. My whole body shook as sea water and other things shot out of my body.

     It was not a pretty sight.
