It was in the late afternoon when Tohru suggested that they went to the beach to watch the sunset. Leo had declined to go, claiming that he'd prefer the company of Mogentai than having to spend time with them, which earned him a punch from Kyo. They were outside the house, leaving for the nearby beach when Tohru spotted Yuki back from school, and he had a thrilled look on his face. 'Yuki! Over here!' Haru waved him over.

'Guess what? That idiot Kakeru Manabe gave me 6 tickets for a 3 days 2 nights cruise to Korea then back again!'

'He gave you what? Why? Did you blackmail him or something?' Hana asked suspiciously.

'NO WAY! Do I look that despicable? Anyway where were you guys going?' Yuki replied.

'We're headed for the beach. The sunset there is beautiful!' Tohru said eagerly. 'Wanna come?'

It was long after sunset, but the group of 5 was still there, watching the stars appear before their eyes, illuminating the sky. All of a sudden, Hana dragged Lou away and asked her a question. 'You like Haru too, right?'

'Huh? That is…um…' Lou stammered uneasily. How did she know? That's right! She's a psychic! Of course she knows. But..

Just then, Hana cut short her thoughts. 'Look, I know you do cuz you turn red every time you see Haru. And by the way, I'm not reading minds. It's just so obvious!' Lou responded with a stunned silence before Hana continued. 'I know I sound like I'm dumping Haru onto you, but I have to say this! If you 2 girls like Haru, it'd be quite a problem, but since Tohru doesn't, you can have him all you want! It'd do good for Haru too. I keep getting really depressing vibes from him recently. So, would you mind if I told the others about your liking him?' Lou started blushing furiously again.

'Yes! Of course I'd mind! Just stop it about him!'

'If that's what you want,' muttered Hana.

Seconds after the conversation, the two girls were back to join the group, which laid on the soft white sand lazily till around midnight. 'Hey Yuki, I suppose you don't plan to give those tickets out to anybody right? So what do you think if we all were to go?' Hana ask all of the sudden, breaking the comfortable silence.

'Huh? What do you mean?' All of them asked in unison.

'I mean, we could all go to the cruise together! It'll be good for all of us to bond and get to know each other better right?' Hana looked suggestively at Lou.

'Well, I'll get seasick, and I don't fancy puking in public. I'm fine with it, honest! When will it start?'

'Yuki told me that the tickets are for the trip next week, it'd be great if we all were to go, but who'll take care of Megumi?' Tohru cut in worriedly.

'Oh that. I'm not sure if she could stand him for a longer period, but my mum would be able to handle him for 3 days, I guess.' Hana assumed, absently wondered how on earth they could be mother and son.

'Why do I get the feeling that it's not as simple as it seems…' Haru asked in doubt.
