Author's Note: Hasn't updated in forever...flings this chapter to appease the readers...I try my best to keep writing. I lose interest very easily. So very easily. I know it's short, but the actual picnic will be next chapter. I'm cruel, yes, I know. I'm also surprised that people even PMed me just for this story, what even.

Unruly Rose

It was the sunlight in Rose's face that woke her up. She threw a quick glance at the girl beside her. She was still fast asleep. Rose groped the floor to her right. Her hand stopped when it found her phone. She turned it on and squinted at the screen.

7:47

Rose groaned and put her head back on the ground. She tried to fall asleep to no avail. They didn't have to wake up until 9:00. With another groan, Rose heaved off the floor. She grabbed her bag, and wobbled towards the bathroom. Might as well get an early start.

Rose sat up from the floor, groaning as she did. She sat several minutes on the floor, before stretching her arms up. After a satisfying pop, she lifted herself from the floor. She looked out the tiny window. Sunlight was starting to seep through and Rose was excited to start her day.

Rose walked over to her bag. She rummaged through it, trying to find her shower things. She wanted to look decent for today's picnic. Rose walked to the bathroom, making sure to not make a sound. Haruhi was still asleep, and Rose didn't want to wake her up.

She hummed softly under her breath, lightly filling the quiet air with noise. Her humming turned to outright singing when she heard Haruhi wake up halfway through her shower. It was hard for Rose to step out of the warm water, but Haruhi was knocking on the door.

"Rose-sempai, are you almost done? I still need to shower before we leave," Haruhi spoke through the closed door.

Rose quickly shut off the water. She hastily wrapped a towel around herself. She had left her clothes in the room. With a quick glance at her scarred hand, Rose opened the door. Haruhi blinked owlishly at sudden face full of steam.

"Ah, gomen. I lost track of time," Rose gave an apologetically smile. Haruhi shrugged.

"As long as there is warm water left, it's fine," Haruhi replied. Rose tiptoed around her. "Is that coconut?"

Rose turned back. She shivered as a breeze came in. "Yeah. It's my favorite scent of shampoo."

"It smells nice," Haruhi said. Rose smiled her thanks, before rushing to the room. She quickly shut the door. Rose gave a sigh. She once again looked through her bag to find the clothes she was going to wear for that day.

After struggling the zipper, Rose was able to pull out her clothes. She quickly changed into her underwear, eager to dry her hair. She shimmied up her jeans and on a sweater that Mrs. Weasley had knitted her. Hermoine had called the sweater hipster. However, the sweater was warm, which was appropriate for the approaching coolness.

Rose grabbed her towel and began to dry her hair. Next door, the shower started up again. Rose stood up and walked over to the kitchen. She looked around the kitchen, and tried to see if there was anything out of place. She walked over to the food, and smiled at the masterpieces Haruhi and her had done. Satisfied, she started packing up the food.

She heard the shower turn off. Rose continued to organize the stuff as Haruhi finished up. "Haruhi-san, where do you want the drinks to go?"

"Anywhere that has space, I suppose," Haruhi answered. Rose nodded. She glanced up to see Haruhi in slightly baggy jean and a boyish shirt. Rose made no comment on it, and continued to pack for the day.

It wasn't long until everything was ready. Rose and Haruhi evenly split the amount of baggage that was needed to be carried with each other. Rose's arms trembled slightly under the pressure, before her arms became adjusted to them. Haruhi opened the door with much difficulty. Both girls swayed and wobbled under the weight. However, they weren't halfway down the stairs when the food was lifted off them.

"Mori-sempai! Hunny-sempai! What are you doing here?" Haruhi asked.

Sure enough, Mori had one stack of food in each hand. Hunny was on his shoulders without a care in the world. As Hunny cheerfully talked to Haruhi, Rose looked at Mori. He had his usual stoic face on. Rose reached up to flatten her bangs. Mori's eyes zeroed on the bandage on her hand.

Rose quickly lowered it. "I accidentally cut myself while changing." Then she flushed at how stupid that sounded. Mori simply kept on looking at her with such an intense stare that Rose had to look away.

"Ne, Takashi?" Hunny asked. Rose jumped. She had forgotten that Hunny and Haruhi were still talking. Rose turned to look at them. They only had neutral faces on.

"Ah," Mori replied. Rose peeked at him. His face was still stoic.

"Wah! Let's go, Haru-chan, Ro-chan!" Hunny said. He thew his arms up in delight.

They started walking down the stairs. Rose kept glancing at the towering stack in Mori's hands. They visibly wobbled in his hands. Rose's hands twitched every time the food tilted too far one side. Hunny made it worse by kicking his legs. The thiry seconds it took to get from the top of the stairs to the car was nerve wrecking.

When they arrived to the car, the driver took the food from Mori, and then put it in the passenger seat. Rose and the others entered the car. Rose became too aware of the little space between her leg and Mori's. Rose glanced at Hunny, who at one point left the safety of Mori's shoulders. She was surprised to see Hunny looking at them with an odd expression. When he looked at Rose, his face went back to cheerful, flowers and all. Rose blinked.

She must have imagined it.

Hunny filled the silence with mindless chatter. Haruhi and Rose did their best to talk to keep up with his babbling. Mori only looked out the window. However, he seemed to be listening as well. When the conversation drifted to only Haruhi and Hunny, Rose turned to Mori.

"Thanks for getting the food for us. There was a big possibility of us dropping it," Rose said. Mori looked from the window to Rose.

"Ah," Mori replied.

"How are you today?" Rose asked.

"Good," Mori said. Rose nodded awkwardly. She couldn't think of anything else to say. "We're here."

Rose jumped when he said that. She leaned forward to look over Mori. Much to her surprise, they really were there. Rose gave a soft sigh when she saw the scenery. It reminded her of Hogsmeade, the village near Hogwarts that was for students and elites only. Rose felt her chest tightened up when she thought of her school.

"It's beautiful," Rose breathed out.

Hunny laughed. "It is!"

The car drove up to a large tent that looked way out of place. As the car stopped, Mori and Hunny quickly left. Rose and Haruhi looked at each other. They shrugged, and got up. The driver handed them a bag for each of them. Rose curiously peered inside. All the food was inside, which made carrying it easier.

Haruhi and Rose walked towards the tent. "I don't like this," Haruhi muttered. Rose could only nod. They each opened a flap. Neither of them were that surprised when fall leaves hit them in the face. As the leaves cleared, the Hosts were lined up, looking too elegant for a picnic.

Welcome.
