Hikigaya "Main, that cave yesterday was a total bust. Not scary at all."
Chizuru "At least the hike was nice."
They say from the couch as Hikigaya has his hands behind his head.
Mormo "Speak for yourselves. I say yesterday was quite successful."
He says while squishing a piece of bread down on a messy sandwich of his making.
Lucy "Where did your friend go after everything?"
Mormo shrugs as he takes a large bite out of the sandwich.
Mormo "I dunno. He said he was going back to his house in District 14."
Kitaro "Isn't that where a bunch of rich people live?"
He says as he sweats a bit at the thought of the crazy old man living in a wealthy mansion.
Mormo "Beats me. Want a bite?"
He offers to Touma as he walks past him on the dining room table. Touma sweats and shakes his head.
Touma "No thanks.."
Mormo "Your loss big boy."
He says before taking another large bite of the sandwich.
Haru "Well then, how are we gonna make up for Hikigaya and Shiori's total absolute failure of an expedition yesterday?"
He says mockingly while wrapping his arms around both of them. They get irritated looks.
Hikigaya "Hey, come here for a sec. Listen."
He says as he wags his finger to a come here motion. Haru looks surprised before leaning closer to Hikigaya. Suddenly, Hikigaya grabs Haru by the neck and starts strangling him. They struggle as Shiori sighs and steps away.
Shiori "Any ideas? I'm open to suggestions."
Sugawara "Well it says the weather is supposed to be hot today. Maybe another beach day?"
They think for a moment with some looks expressing boredom with the beach already as Kitaro plays his videogames on the couch.
Kitaro "Why don't we just go to that super cool waterpark just up the way we came?"
They all turn to him in surprise at his suggestion. He notices and gets a slightly embarrassed look.
Kitaro "Not that I want to go or anything.."
Hisana "Oh Kitaro! You're so cute!"
She says while hugging him tightly.
Alice "Not a bad call. All those in favor?"
She raises her hand as all the others do.
Shiori "Those opposed?"
Haru struggles to raise his hand as Hikigaya chokes him.
Hikigaya "Put your hand down!"
He threatens. Mormo raises his hand in opposition.
Mormo "This stuffy bear body doesn't agree much with water."
Lucy "Don't worry, we won't let you drown… Much."
She says menacingly as Mormo sweats.
Chizuru "Alright! Let's go to the waterpark!"
They group is quickly gathered and prepared for the day as they already are on their way. They make it to the front gates of the waterpark as it is fairly busy but still pleasant. The group walks through check in together.
Shiori "Hey Sugawara, I've been meaning to ask but what ever happened to Riley?"
Sugawara is surprised for a moment by her question but answers quickly.
Sugawara "I'm not sure. After the party, I tried calling her but she wouldn't answer. Her family is very busy and powerful so I'm not super concerned for her health but… just like my brother did, maybe they took her away…"
He says softly. Shiori gets an understanding look as Haru speaks.
Haru "Good riddance I say."
He says with his arms behind his head.
Sugawara "I know she can be… difficult to communicate with but she's still my friend. I'd hate to not get the chance to show her how much I appreciate her."
Haru looks at Sugawara's worried face before softening his own look.
Haru "Look, it's like you said. She's probably just busy, I'm sure you'll see her back at school. She is a year below us afterall."
He places his hand on Sugawara's shoulder in support as Sugawara smiles.
Sugawara "You're right. For now, let's just enjoy the rest of our last summer vacation!"
He says with an excited look before rushing ahead with the others. As the group gathers, Mormo looks around with a pleased look.
Mormo "Hey, maybe this wasn't a bad idea after all."
He says as he stares at the many women in bikinis walking around. Lucy gets angry and grabs him by the head.
Lucy "You stupid pervy bear! Die!"
She says while shoving his head into the fountain by the entrance. He squirms for a moment before she eventually lets go. Mormo stands there dripping wet with an upset look on his face.
Mormo "Great, look at me! I'm soaking wet now! This takes forever to dry out!"
Hikigaya "Hey, don't worry about it. We'll help speed it up. Touma?"
He nods before grabbing Mormo and pulling him back as if he was a baseball. Hikigaya points his finger to the sky with a big smile on his face.
Hikigaya "Launch!"
He shouts as Touma throws Mormo with tremendous might causing him to go flying through the air at high speeds leaving behind only a fading scream. Touma sweats as Hikigaya and Suiyoubi look shocked by the throw.
Hikigaya "Maybeee we should've had Sugawara throw him.. Whoops!"
Shiori "You dummy."
Lucy "Guess that's the start of our day.."
They say as the group starts a walk in Mormo's direction.
Kitaro "Good luck you guys. I'm gonna check out the swirly tube."
He says while stepping away before Hisana and Alice grab his arms and force him to follow them.
Alice "Come on."
She says as Kitaro reluctantly follows.
Mormo "YOU STUPID BRUTE! I'M NEVER OFFERING YOU A BITE OF MY SANDWICH AGAIN!"
He shouts as he hangs from a tree with many leaves sticking out of him.
Hikigaya "Chill out, you're alright."
He says as he reaches up and grabs him from the tree.
Kitaro "Great, he's saved. Can we go play now?"
Lucy "Excited, are we?"
She says as he blushes in response. Behind her, Chizuru stares at Lucy for a moment before jumping on her and grabbing her hand.
Chizuru "Come on Lucy! Let's go on that slide first!"
She says before rushing off with her laughing. The group quickly follows. They go down in groups of four on inflatable tubes. They scream and laugh, Sugawara and Hisana having looks of fear from the fast slide.
Kitaro "Let's go do that one next!"
He points excitedly as the large swirling tube. Sugawara and Hisana look nervous but follow as they do the same groups. The tubes drop swiftly as water splashes around them. It slides high up one side of the tube before dropping back down and repeating until they eventually make it out. Sugawara stumbles out following the group as Hisana pants, holding herself on her knees.
Kitaro "Hey, you okay?"
She looks up at him and smiles weakly.
Hisana "Yeah, yeah, totally. Just hits different on water is all.."
She says as Kitaro smirks a bit.
Kitaro "Come on."
He says while taking her hand and leading her away.
Kitaro "Let's go sit for a second."
Hisana blushes as she nods softly. The group then floats down a softly flowing river made throughout the park. Shiori, Chizuru and Lucy float calming on their backs as Suiyoubi sits in a tube with sunglasses and a large brim hat on and Mormo also wearing glasses and sitting in the same pose on her tummy. Sugawara and Touma walk gently through the water as Haru floats on by in a calm state. They stare at him for a moment before Ryuji and Hikigaya catch their gaze. They watch as the two of them walk swiftly partly under the water before jumping up and grabbing onto Haru. He freaks out and splashes about for a moment before being dragged under by Ryuji and Hikigaya.
Alice "Welp, he's dead."
She says while walking past Sugawara and Touma. At a surf and slide attraction in the park, Haru happily rides the board as the water rushes underneath him on the slide.
Haru "Check me out guys! I'm surfing like a pro!"
He shouts with a big smile before wobbling a bit. He then slips and completely falls off the board, getting tossed and rolled by the rushing water in the process.
Alice "You dunce. This is how a real pro handles a board."
She says with a confident tone and determined look before jumping on the board.
Alice "Yeah!"
She cheers as she rides the water for a moment before wobbling a bit. She then slips and completely falls off the board, getting tossed and rolled by the rushing water in the process in the exact same way Haru did a moment ago. They both lay on the ground with swirling eyes and groans. Hikigaya shakes his head in disappointment as Shiori runs past him with a big excited smile on her face. He turns with a surprised look as she jumps onto the board, splashing water around her. His eyes widen as a blush spreads across his cheeks. He watches Shiori as she smiles so happily, filled with excitement and joy as she casually and skillfully rides the board across the waves. She laughs with pleasure and happiness so honestly as the group all watches her with smiles on their faces.
Hikigaya "Wow… she's so beautiful…"
He says softly as he watches her enjoy herself on the surfboard. Chizuru steps next to him with a smug look on her face.
Chizuru "Oh? Keep talking like that and people might think you have a crush on her or something."
She says with a giggle as Hikigaya blushes and looks down a bit with a slightly embarrassed look.
Hikigaya "I think… I might…"
He says softly again. Chizuru stops with a shocked look on her face.
Chizuru "Wha?.."
Hikigaya "I've been thinking about it for a while now, and I'm pretty sure I really do like her."
He says gently with a soft smile on his face. Chizuru blushes a bit as she watches her childhood bestfriend admit to having a crush on another one of her bestfriends. He turns and looks at her.
Hikigaya "But don't tell her that. I want to do it… eventually…"
He says shyly with an awkward smile. Chizuru smiles at him with a kind look.
Chizuru "Of course, Hiki. But you better make it quick. Someone might beat you to it."
She says smugly while looking away, causing Hikigaya to panic a bit.
Hikigaya "Wait, what does that mean??"
Chizuru "Oh, nothing."
She says before walking away, leaving him with racing thoughts.
