I'm baaaaaack. Yup that's right. Up and kicking, better than ever (mostly), and a new chapter. I'm soooooooooo sorry. I know this is overdue. Very much overdue. I'm so sorry.
AH, you just wanna read the story, sorry. Well, I won't keep you. (BUT IT'S THE BEACH CHAPTER, FINALLY!)
I own nothing except Nikki and Maki Fujimoto owns Rose.
"Agh...braggh...meh..." Nikki groaned as she kicked her feet in the air. Beside, her Ema sat, reading a book for school.
"What's wrong Nikki?" The brunette asked.
"I'm boooooreed. And it's hot. What do you guys do for fun?" Nikki groans.
"Well, we have the house to ourselves for a while. Should we make lunch for everyone when they come back?
Nikki sat up quickly as she pulled her knees close. "BRILLIANT IDEA, EMA!"
"Maybe we should make some sandwiches-"
"Ema. I hate to interupt you when you're talking about making your delicious samiches, but why don't we go to the beach?"
Ema conteplates this as Nikki watches her with bouncing curiosity, reminding her of Wataru.
"Um...Nikki...it's winter."
Ema didn't finish her sentence before Nikki ran off to scavenge the boys' rooms for their swimsuits. Ema hurried behind her.
"Ah, Nikki! You can't just barge into their rooms and look through their things! And how can we go to the beach during the winter?!"
"Ema, it's fine! What am I gonna find? Some weird magazines?" Nikki joked before pulling out a magazine about celebrities.
"But Nikki-"
Nikki dropped someone's suitcase and rushed over to Ema and pulled out her phone. "Ema. I am from the states. Where in actuality, I made a lot of contacts. Heck, I had a playdate with the president's kid when I was younger!"
"How did you know the president's kid?"
"We were visiting Washington, some friend of the kid got his head stuck in a fence...let's just say that apparently me using butter is really funny to watch...anyway, the point is, I know people Ema. Lot's. Before my Dad died, I traveled alot with him...I made deals."
"Deals?" Ema asked, slightly worried.
"Don't worry about it." Nikki smirked. "Anyway, I know people. People who live in sunny climates and own hostels and hotels and resorts."
Ema's eyes widened. "Oh...are you sure that's fine for us to do? I mean, I'm not sure if everyone can pack up and leave the continent, let alone the country."
"Really?" Nikki asked, hands on her hips.
Ema stood in front of her before Nikki spoke. "I already messaged three people in three cities."
Before Ema could argue, Nikki laughed manically as she ran away to pack her own things.
Ema sighed. "I guess I should let Dad know before I pack.."
Everyone was surprised to see Nikki sitting on the couch in a overflowy sundress and shawl, a large sunhat, and sunglasses. She was calmly sitting down on the couch, legs crossed, a root beer in her hands. She was watching cartoons and when she noticed those who arrived home, she had a serious look on her face.
"Sup."
She quickly turned her attention to the TV and chugged down the bottle as elegantly as someone could.
"What the hell kind of girl are you?" Yusuke asked as he and Wataru watched her giggle girlishly.
"Um...Nikki?" Masaomi asked.
"Yes?" she asked.
"Don't you think it's a bit cold for a summer outfit?" Tsubaki asked.
"Oh yeah. We're going to the beach in a little bit."
"The beach?" Wataru asked. "But Masaomi-san always says it's too cold to go swimming in the winter."
"Oh yeah. I planned a trip for us to go to Hawaii last minute."
They all stood there in silence. Before Wataru started cheering. "Hawaii~ Hawaii~"
"What do you mean last minute trip to Hawaii?" Azusa asked, slightly confused.
"Oh you know, just made a reservation for twenty at a resort in Hawaii, no big deal."
"Nikki, while the offer is appreciated, I don't think we can all go, especially without a fair warning in advance..." Iori explained.
"Yeah, I mean some of us have jobs we can't just leave immediately.." Tsubaki mumbled, his mind drifting to the new show him and Azusa were cast on.
"I guess I didn't really think...stupid impulse..." Nikki huffed as she threw off the oversized hat and dress to reveal her usual shirt and jeans.
"You're one weird girl.." Fuuto muttered.
"Complementing will get you nowhere Fuuto...but I already made the reservation...and I told Rose too..." Nikki sighed as she groaned into her knees.
"Nikki?"
Everyone turned to see Ema enter the room. She had a surprised look on her face.
"Oh, welcome home everyone." Ema smiled sweetly.
Everyone returned the greeting as Ema sat beside Nikki, everyone else finally deciding to sit down.
"I guess they told you the same thing?" Ema asked, frowning at her friend's sadness.
"Yeah...why do people have jobs? Why can't we just like trade crops?" Nikki asked, burying her head deeper into her knees.
"Crops?" Yusuke asked.
"Well...actually, I know I don't have to go back to work until after New Year's..." Masaomi said.
"And I don't have school!" Wataru cheered.
"No one has school, Wataru." Yusuke muttered.
"We can't go." Azusa stated.
"We got new parts in another show..." Tsubaki added. "And Subaru's training...Hikaru's in Italy."
"Ukyo said he had to work on a big case that would last a while..." Louis mentioned. "But I think Kaname is free...and Natsume too.."
"See, Nikki, still a few can go." Ema asked, trying to cheer her friend up.
Ema patted Nikki's back when she suddenlt started giggling, and raised her head to show a happy grin.
"Great, cause we leave in less than two hours." Nikki giggled, holding up her phone to show the time.
"WHAT?!"
"Oh it's fine, I packed my things and Ema's-"
"When did you go in my room?" Ema mumbled.
"So all you guys have to do is pack and be ready to go.
"What about Kaname and Natsume?" Ema asked.
"Those not going can pack or inform them." Nikki grinned.
"It's almost as if she knew we weren't going..." Tsubaki mumbled, slightly intimidated.
"Alrighty then, get to it boys!" Nikki said, laughing her evil laugh as she skipped away happily.
Yusuke watched her skip away, slightly creeped out. "What the hell...it's like she all knowing..."
"Omniscient." Iori added before getting up.
"I KNOW AND SEE ALL!" they heard her bellow from upstairs.
"How did she-"
Ema shrugged, used to her friend's behavior. "I've learned that this is how Nikki acts, and it's not always...the best way...she's still very nice."
A loud crash came from upstairs. Everyone listened in silence until Nikki replied.
"YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THE NIKKI WAY FOOLS~"
OK, so maybe this wasn't the beach episode, but the one leading up to it...sorry if it's a bit short...but my creative juices are flowing (why does that sound weird?) and I'm working on the next one first thing tommorow morning.
HASTA LEUGO, MIS AMORES! 3
