(Y/N) yawns and stretches her arms above her head. She wore her team's red tracksuit, her swimming costume underneath while her jacket was zipped open.

She makes her way towards the clubhouse, and opens the door, her eyes watering from yet another yawn. "Morning-" she greets, and stops when she sees Gōu, surrounded by fliers all flown about the room.

"You okay over there?" She chuckles before bending down and helping her friend. Gōu blushes in embarrassment, and shakes her head with a defeated sigh. "Who knew running a club would be so stressful.."

(Y/N) snorts, and places a stack of fliers on one of the shoe lockers. "Given the boys we have to train, I'm surprised we haven't crashed out yet." Gōu giggles, and stops when she sees another piece of paper sticking out from just underneath the mat.

"Hm? What's this?" (Y/N) watches her friend gently unfold the old crumpled paper, before looking down and reading the words written in bold letters.

"..well that's intimidating."

_____

Gōu leads (Y/N) towards where the boys had been getting ready to swim, the flier clutched in her hands. She waves her hand, and calls out to them. "Check it out! You won't believe what we found!" Walking up to the boys, Gōu presents the flier, while (Y/N) stands at her side.

In bold, the boys sweatdrop as they read the words:

'IWATOBI HIGH SCHOOL SWIM CLUB, SUMEMR TRAINING CAMP FROM HELL'

"On a deserted island?" Makoto questions the piece of paper, and Nagisa jumps up with stars in his eyes. "That sounds fun!" (Y/N) snickers at the very different reactions from her friends, and points to the poster with her thumb.

"It's an old poster from several decades ago, when Iwatobi first had a swim club." They all nod along. "Interesting.." Rei mutters, and studies the flier closer. "But..what's the big deal?"

Gōu scoffs. "The big deal is we should steal their idea and hold an island summer training camp of our own!"

"On a deserted island!" (Y/N) finishes the speech, and her maroon haired friend cheers at the idea.

"..sounds like a lot of work to me.." Haru mutters, sitting beside the pool with his hand tracing the water. He grunts when his (H/C) friend chops him on the head. "Don't complain until after she's done."

"Just take a look at the training regimen they used!" Gōu continues, and presents a picture of four separate islands, all at least within a kilometer of each other.

The team all 'ooh' and 'ah' at the image. "If we wanna blow our openings out of the water at district, then this is exactly what we need!"

"You think so?" Makoto asks gently, and (Y/N) couldn't help but notice his hands gently fidgeting against his sides. She moves away from Haru and softly pokes the small of his back. He freezes, before stopping the action and sending her a small smile.

While Gōu had continued to explain the training camp, the group all slowly began to jump on board with the idea. They all had since agreed, and quickly headed to the faculty office to ask for funding.

_____

"The club doesn't have money for that!"

Once again, Miss Amakata was shooting down another idea, this time reasoning that they had no money to fund such an elaborate trip.

"It'll be fine cuz we have a super generous faculty advisor who's willing to pay for the whole trip out of pocket!" Nagisa tries to persuade her and throws his hands in the air, but Miss A shoos him away with a form no.

She goes to recite another quote, from who? the team didn't exactly have time to listen. (Y/N) quickly shakes her hands infront of her teacher, and sighs.

"So..what should we do now?"

_____

Biting into a frozen loli, (Y/N) groans and throws her head back at the cold brushing against her teeth. "Freezing!" She yells, and Makoto smiles before wrapping his arm around her shoulder and rubbing her arm.

Haru watches the two, his eyes focused on his best friend's hand currently rubbing circles against his other best friend's shoulder. Something unfamiliar flickers beneath his eyes, but he shakes his head and continues following the group down the sidewalk.

They were all currently discussing different ways on how to afford their trip, while most of their funds were spent on their new swimsuits, other ideas were quickly shut down by their manager.

Makoto, Haru and (Y/N) trail behind the rest of the group, and the brown haired boy looks down to see his friend slowly chewing on her popsicle. Her brows were creased as her mind raced with ideas, but found none that would help them in their predicament.

Frowning, Makoto looks up, and calls out. "Hang on." The rest of the team all turn around. "Don't give up hope just yet, we can have a summer training camp, we'll just have to do it on a tight budget!" He smiles when his friends all stare wide eyed at him, grins on their faces.

"Looks like Mako means business!"

"That's why he's our team Captain!"

Both (Y/N) and Haru exchange skeptical glances, before simultaneously taking bites from their popsicles.

_____

The group all made their way towards the Tachibana residence, where Makoto quickly disappeared to fetch his old camping supplies. His idea of a 'budget' would be for the swimmers to rough it outside for the trip, not that any of them really minded.

Rei scans the home from top to bottom, before stopping and staring at a small glass bottle on the ground in the yard, flowers sprouting from within. "Whats this?" He asks, and (Y/N) smiles gently when she sees the small spot.

"Makoto's pet fish passed away and that's where he buried them." She answers, and Nagisa follows her as they both bend down at the small grave. "Let's take a moment of silence for the best fish ever."

Gently placing their hands together, (Y/N), Nagisa and Rei pray for the departed.

_____

"Wow..that is some serious equipment." Gōu comments of the large set of tools, trinkets and what not's spread across Haru's living room floor. After collecting the materials from Makoto's house, the group all escaped to the Nanase residence.

They had moved the table to lean against the far right wall, while Haru sat infront of the tools, slightly annoyed. "And who gave you permission to store it at my place?" His sass receives a tiny glare from (Y/N).

"Well your place is so big, and you live alone." Nagisa reminds his friend, and hops to his feet. He stumbles a little, and grabs hold of the closest thing possible, (Y/N)'s head.

The girl quietly whines and jerks away as her head is pulled, comical tears spilling from her eyes before Nagisa lets go, apparently not having noticed.

"I'm really excited about our summer camp, it's gonna be awesome swimming around all these mysterious islands!" He announces, and misses the way Haru wraps his arms around (Y/N)'s waist to stop her from attacking the red eyed boy.

"Stop it with the islands!" Rei grumbles, and snatches the old training regimen from his friend. Nagisa, however is unbothered and continues anyway. "I'm gonna have some tropical barbecue!" The mention of barbecues prompts Gōu to spring from her place on the floor.

"Yeah! A barbecue!"

(Y/N) can't help but laugh at her friends, and looks down to see Haru still had her firmly invaded in his hold. The navy haired boy seems to only notice this now, and clicks his tongue before quickly letting go and shuffling away.

"Now we need money for transportation.." Makoto reminds, and sweatdrops when the group all collectively deflate at the news.

Nagisa talks his chin. "Maybe Miss A has a bought we could borrow?" Rei is quick to shake his head. "You heard her, she doesn't do charity."

(Y/N) rises from her spot on the floor, and stands next to Makoto. The two glance to eachother before looking away. A beat of silence follows before their eyes widen at the same time, and they gasp.

"We know someone with a boat!"
