“Can’t believe it’s been four years since we’ve been in this room.” Nozomi said walking in the room with Eli.599Please respect copyright.PENANAFDnGnlIwbl
“Honestly never thought I’d see this place again.” Eli replied. “It’s good to see everyone.”599Please respect copyright.PENANAkwrpb25eSn
Nico stood at the door with a smug look on her face, “Prepare your hearts, the number one idol in the universe Nico Yazawa is here.” Nico walked in past everyone to the front of the room. Maki followed behind but stood beside Nozomi. “How does it feel to be in the presence of a famous idol?” Nico smiled and threw up her signature pose. “Nico Nico Nii.”599Please respect copyright.PENANAlQkoBP0RKc
Eli and Nozomi let out a little laugh, “just the same as you were in high school Nico.” Nozomi said through her laughs.599Please respect copyright.PENANAfZSX6ib3Ah
“Shut up you washi washi monster!” Nico retorted. 599Please respect copyright.PENANAV6GsX2g9QP
Looking around the room Eli noticed only eight Muse members in the room.599Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1CWLeDnRc
“Where’s Honoka guys?” Eli asked looking towards Umi and Kotori. “We can’t start without her.”599Please respect copyright.PENANAkHVmkRrb6U
“She probably fell asleep like usual.” Maki commented.599Please respect copyright.PENANAMWKEUgGr7v
“She’s really trying, it’s hard on her between juggling college, the bakery, and her personal life she hardly sleeps at night.” Kotori said defending Honoka’s absence.599Please respect copyright.PENANAXhpaSlJsx2
“Let’s just get this going and fill her in on the details later.” Nico suggested, starting to get impatient of waiting. 599Please respect copyright.PENANA87kMa9WOAM
“No, the meeting is about a letter I got in the mail, it’s addressed to Muse which includes her.” Eli replied.599Please respect copyright.PENANAlRKQxAPbyw
Umi pulled out her phone, “Let me call her.” She dialed a number and put the phone up to her ear.599Please respect copyright.PENANALTe9YIupDi
It rang a couple times before someone answered, “Hello, Sonoda?”599Please respect copyright.PENANAogOapPcmB2
“Tsubasa?” Umi replied599Please respect copyright.PENANAxm6hbM4wgK
“Tsubasa!?” Nico yelled running to the phone, Umi scooted back.599Please respect copyright.PENANAVIiKg2uDuW
“Yeah, what’s up” Tsubasa asked.599Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3CazKIOLL
“Where’s Honoka at she was supposed to meet us here.”599Please respect copyright.PENANACyl3FgXVa3
“One sec.” Tsubasa’s voice got quieter but still could be heard. “You were supposed to go to that Muse reunion thing.”599Please respect copyright.PENANAlFH2TnvWNg
“It’s fine babe I’m sure it wasn't that important.” Honoka assured. “Hand me the phone.” 599Please respect copyright.PENANAELFd0WFMU5
“Put down the game.”599Please respect copyright.PENANAHiGGuhrF2W
“I got this, Hello?” Honoka answered.599Please respect copyright.PENANAN9ziFe05Ow
“Where are you?” Umi demanded.599Please respect copyright.PENANAorSJVlSlG6
“I’m at Tsubasa’s right now.”599Please respect copyright.PENANA5J7tzECV0y
“You need to get down here we have mail for all of Muse.”599Please respect copyright.PENANA9HciOuCfgG
“I’ll be down there in a……..NOOOOOOOO!” Honoka suddenly yelled, Umi move the phone away from her ear.599Please respect copyright.PENANAF4gkRvsmNP
Once the yelling stopped Umi placed the phone back on her ear, “What happened?”599Please respect copyright.PENANAD9RJjBG8Oi
Honoka was crying, “This stoopid bird killed my gongligur. Dag nabit! That was one of my originals.”599Please respect copyright.PENANADYFAbhIsjd
Umi turned the speaker on and sat the phone in the table, “Honoka it’s okay, it’s just a game.” Tsubasa said.599Please respect copyright.PENANAGinaqpBO2A
Eli looked towards Kotori, “Sounds like she’s busy with a ton of work.” she sarcastically said.599Please respect copyright.PENANAnNXCuu34ga
Kotori didn’t respond, she just scooted closer to Umi. “Stop screwing around and get down here.” Umi said in a serious tone.599Please respect copyright.PENANAzBC3ocMf9l
“I’ll make sure she does, see ya then.” Tsubasa replied then hung up.599Please respect copyright.PENANAx2qudhZySv
“How are we even supposed to know if she is gonna actually show up this time?” Nico asked.599Please respect copyright.PENANANmtVqXs9dK
“We can’t.” Eli replied.599Please respect copyright.PENANA6ohqxxwPog
“Then let’s get this going instead of wasting time waiting for her.”599Please respect copyright.PENANAxzwL1Ax72U
“No.”
______________599Please respect copyright.PENANAHeNfIuwqIl
Honoka and Tsubasa walked into the club room where everyone else was waiting. “Sorry I made you wait, oh and sorry Umi I didn’t mean to yell.” Honoka bowed and gave an awkward smile.599Please respect copyright.PENANA8vNMP0FGY5
“In future reference, any meeting held is important.” Eli said. “Now, I received a letter addressed to Muse the other day.”599Please respect copyright.PENANAWrapIF3zL1
“Why didn’t I get it? I am the leader and the person who started this group.” Honoka asked, Eli glared at her. “Yeah, probably wouldn’t of been the best idea.” She chuckled and scratched her head.599Please respect copyright.PENANAGO8L1SUZ5K
Eli opened the letter and skimmed through it, “Um….wow.” She smiled. “Who’s up for a little summer competition?” They just stared at her confused. “We’ve been invited to a special idol edition of Survivor, the paper says. ‘Dear Muse members, you and another idol group have been proudly invited to this years special idol edition of the reality show Survivor. You will be going head to head for a chance to win a cash prize of one million yen along with a vacation trip to the USA with one other person.’’599Please respect copyright.PENANAEc413NDJT9
“Vacation to the US!” Hanayo exclaimed.599Please respect copyright.PENANAkewRl2v0nB
“There’s more.” Eli replied before she continued to read. “‘Meet the other groups at the Tokyo Ferry Docks at three o’clock May, fifth.”599Please respect copyright.PENANA34A0WPsP9Q
“May fifth, that’s tomorrow!” Honoka exclaimed.599Please respect copyright.PENANAbdeFtx55ia
“Everyone needs to get packed tonight, and to get some sleep we’re leaving really early.” Eli said staring at Honoka. “Meet back in front of the school at six in the morning.”599Please respect copyright.PENANA6uKv5TwELm
“That’s so eaaaaaarly.” Honoka groaned. Tsubasa lightly elbowed her in the side. “Ow, why’d you do that?” 599Please respect copyright.PENANALzY5yn9Ds1
“Stop being rude.” Tsubasa replied.599Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9mAE1AxqP
“But you’re the one who said and I quote who cares what people say, if you have a problem complain about it.”599Please respect copyright.PENANAOSNHqRsVSv
Everyone was now staring at Tsubasa, she grabbed Honoka’s hand and dragged her out the room. “We’ll be on time, don’t worry about it.” She closed the door as she left.599Please respect copyright.PENANAeYUT72Si8V
Everyone started to leave the room, soon it was just Maki, Nico, Eli, and Nozomi in the room. “You guys get home, need to be up early tomorrow.” Eli said as Nozomi and her left the clubroom.599Please respect copyright.PENANAe4573xijr3
Once the door shut Nico walked over to Maki and hugged her placing her head on the redhead's chest. “Maki….” She moaned.599Please respect copyright.PENANAsIwI0EWPDI
“Yes.” Maki answered sarcastically.599Please respect copyright.PENANAJhBX0ijOEL
“Let’s do it.” Nico asked bluntly.599Please respect copyright.PENANA2jBJbwJGhX
“No, are you crazy this isn’t the place for that.” Maki removed Nico from her body.599Please respect copyright.PENANAagGJuAUWx0
“Come on, it’ll be like old times.”599Please respect copyright.PENANAxIq0KKn2rr
“I said no, this isn’t even our clubroom anymore.”599Please respect copyright.PENANAQrC5TwaIjC
“You know, when I look around this room I don’t just see old posters, books, and tapes.” She grabbed Maki’s hands. “I see memories, like over there, you may see a table I see you naked sprawled out across it.”599Please respect copyright.PENANADrbkoV8uZZ
Maki yanked her hands away from Nico, “I actually thought you were being serious, you sex crazed pervert.” Maki stormed out the room and slammed the door.599Please respect copyright.PENANA9GhLkziUNd
Nico ran out the room, “Maki!” She walked down the hall, “I’ll just show up at her house, I’m sure she won’t care.” 599Please respect copyright.PENANAXnbmyQqzbj
“Nico.” 599Please respect copyright.PENANA0QN52skSEs
Startled by the sudden voice she turned to the left and saw Maki sitting between a locker and a water fountain. “What are you doing, I thought you left.”599Please respect copyright.PENANA11X9pdrp8v
Maki stood up, “I...I want to…..do it.” She walked a bit closer, ‘like when we were in high school.” Nico didn’t speak just stared at her astounded by Maki’s change of heart. No words were said Nico just led the way back to the clubroom.

(Honoka and Tsubasa)599Please respect copyright.PENANAWBKyMF8Pr1
“We need to pack.” Tsubasa said taking the handheld console away from Honoka.599Please respect copyright.PENANA5lTDEZe7As
“It’ll get done, I promise.” She replied pouting, “we have plenty of time.”599Please respect copyright.PENANA2vUZD5S0Xp
“It’s past midnight!” She threw a suitcase on the bed where Honoka was laying down. “You need to pack and get to sleep.” Tsubasa left the room.599Please respect copyright.PENANALe30JgJe3l
“Fine…” Honoka walked over to the walk in closet she share with Tsubasa, “What should I bring?” Looking at the closet she couldn’t think of anything. “I got it!” Honoka grabbed an arm full of winter type clothes, “This is easier than I expected,” She laughed as she stuffed the suitcase full of the random clothes. 599Please respect copyright.PENANAuDIXhOZJUs
Tsubasa walked back in to see Honoka jumping up and down while pushing down on the suitcase, “Here let me get it.” She moved Honoka out the way and started trying to close it. “How much stuff do you have in here,” Opening the suitcase she pulled out the contents. “Honoka, why do you have your winter clothes? You realize it’s summer right?”599Please respect copyright.PENANAKDm9WAS1rm
Honoka gave her an awkward smile, “I’m not good at this kind of stuff.” 599Please respect copyright.PENANAaXI5MziCmu
“Then how did you manage to pack when you moved in with me?.”599Please respect copyright.PENANA1xWcjrl3Zj
“I had a lot of help from my mom and Yukiho.”599Please respect copyright.PENANACLXLTUvgvl
“Okay, this is what's gonna happen I’m gonna make you a quick list of stuff then your gonna pack it.” Tsubasa picked up Honoka’s phone and typed out everything she needed. “Here, after you're done you can come join me in the bath. I know we need to sleep but I am getting a headache from this.”599Please respect copyright.PENANABwGKDaOnH4
Honoka retrieved the phone and looked at it, Tsubasa left the room and left a very confused Honoka to her packing.

The Next Morning
(Eli and Nozomi)599Please respect copyright.PENANAE14MJ3KI4B
“Babe hurry up or we won’t be able to eat before we go.” Nozomi yelled down the hall, she started to set the table with plates of food.599Please respect copyright.PENANAnZkQBHf3X6
Eli walked in and took a whiff of the aroma coming from the food. “Smells great.” She sat down at the table and started to eat. Eli looked over at her wife who was scrubbing dishes. “You not gonna eat?” 599Please respect copyright.PENANAJJGK8hIIt9
“I’m not hungry, we can always bring some for later.” She finished and walked down the hall.599Please respect copyright.PENANAcHQ8AnNjdW
Eli quickly shoveled the rest of the food into her mouth, she rinsed and sat the dishes in the sink. She walked down the hall to the bedroom where Nozomi was quickly stuffing something into her suitcase. “What was that babe?”599Please respect copyright.PENANARIWs6zMu13
Nozomi jumped at the sound of Eli’s voice. “No….nothing.” She grabbed her suitcases and started to walk past Eli, but she was stopped.599Please respect copyright.PENANAIYw07byhkX
“Babe, look at me.” Eli removed the cases from Nozomi’s hands. “I love you,” She kissed her. “Go eat, I’ll handle this you’ve been doing so much.” Nozomi smiled, kissed her then walked back to the kitchen.

(Maki and Nico)599Please respect copyright.PENANAtdoSFGbO56
Nico rubbed her eyes and sat up, “Where ar..” Looking around she realized they were still in the clubroom. “Fuck! Maki wake up and put your clothes on.” 599Please respect copyright.PENANAVaONLvsF9J
Maki started to move around but jumped up when she realized where she was at, “This is your fault Nico.” She scooted off the table and grabbed the clothes spread across the floor.599Please respect copyright.PENANAjERpRtN2KG
“How’s this all my fault.” Nico took a deep breathe. “It’s okay there’s plenty of time to fix this,” she grabbed her phone off the ground. “It’s only…… 5:45!!” Nico started to run around grabbing all the clothes she could find throughout the room.599Please respect copyright.PENANA53KqYu1tWP
Maki and Nico threw all their clothes on, “Let’s just get to my house and tell them we overslept.” Maki suggested as they started to head towards the door but soon realized there were two people watching them.599Please respect copyright.PENANAKlH0inR468
“Wow, I don’t know why I’m surprised by this.” Eli laughed. “I’m expecting Honoka to oversleep.” Maki and Nico stood and just stared like they just saw a ghost. “But least they didn’t stay at the school to have sex in the clubroom. Are you guys even packed for the trip?” Eli asked.599Please respect copyright.PENANAfvdP6E7B66
“No…” Nico said barely audible, her body started to tense up for the expected groping she’d probably get.599Please respect copyright.PENANAjPM2O0BjJL
“We’ll wait, you have half an hour or we’re leaving without you.” Eli said, Nico and Maki just ran past them without saying a word. “This is gonna be a long trip.” Eli sighed.599Please respect copyright.PENANAItK3EfLbFw
Nozomi started walking down the hall, “Follow me.” They both walked upstairs and stopped in front of the student council room. “The memories just hit me when I see this room.” She laughed, “the only reason I joined was so I could be with you.” 599Please respect copyright.PENANAR4218QxXoO
Eli smiled and opened the door, “I’m glad you did.”599Please respect copyright.PENANAdWlwZ3Dgtm
“We can’t really be mad at them two, after all most of our best memories were when you were laying on that table.”

(Hanayo and Rin)599Please respect copyright.PENANAsBY7BhYrnO
“Hayoyo!” Rin yelled. 599Please respect copyright.PENANA49vylueJZs
Hanayo came running into the room, “Yeah.” Rin was half naked trying to shove a bunch of clothes into a suitcase. “You should’ve packed last night instead of going straight to sleep.” Hanayo moved Rin out the way and started to fold the clothes in the case.599Please respect copyright.PENANAqaNls5cbBu
“Sorry I was really tired.” Rin finished getting dressed. “I’ll take these out front.” She grabbed a suitcase and tried to pick it up but failed, she resorted to dragging it slowly through the house.599Please respect copyright.PENANANfjW0Hahxy
Hanayo finished closing the suitcase and brought it to the front door. They loaded the cases in a taxi that was waiting out front, “Otonokizaka high please.” Hanayo said to the driver as they buckled up and shut the doors.599Please respect copyright.PENANAkKfbTKOcbf
The driver nodded and drove off.

(Kotori and Umi)599Please respect copyright.PENANA52d5Fyte7n
“Umi wake up, I have breakfast ready.” Kotori shook Umi’s shoulder easily. “I’ve been trying to get you to sleep in for weeks why do you decide today is the day you actually listen.” Kotori said frustrated.599Please respect copyright.PENANAgJRq2YkGyK
Umi sat up and rubbed her eyes, “Sorry babe, I was up later than usual trying to find everything you wanted for the trip.” She got out of bed. 599Please respect copyright.PENANAkul7ZEM4KK
“I wish you would actually listen to me.”599Please respect copyright.PENANA7t3hxLJPy2
“I wish you were easier to live with.” A wave of regret hit Umi after she finished talking. Kotori stared at her. “Kotori I didn-” Kotori ran off crying before she could finish.

(Honoka and Tsubasa) 599Please respect copyright.PENANAa9ll9Opmc6
Tsubasa was still asleep in bed, unlike Honoka who was scrolling through the internet on the computer she got for christmas last year. She was clicking on every website trying to search for an answer. Tsubasa slowly made her way out of bed, Honoka didn’t notice her get up. She walked over and stood behind the fully focused Honoka. Reading what Honoka typed into the search bar made her laugh which broke the younger girls concentration and realize someone was standing behind her. “How to wake up your sleeping girlfriend, have you tried waking her normally?” Tsubasa laughed.599Please respect copyright.PENANAQmpwo6v6Gy
Honoka’s face was red, she puffed out her cheeks and pouted. “I was trying and you wouldn’t wake up.”
“Sorry, I stayed up too long last night. I had to finish your packing when I came back from my bath you were passed out on top of the suitcase.” She grabbed one of the suitcases, “Help me take these to the limo.” Honoka grabbed the other one and followed suit.

(Kotori and Umi)599Please respect copyright.PENANAzTi2WFdfpn
Umi stood at the bathroom door where her wife was crying. Trying to think of the right things to say wasn’t easy for Umi, she’s never been good with this kind of stuff. “Kotori…” Her sentence fell short as the train of thought was lost, she had to say something. “Please open the door.” She sat down and put her back against the wall across from the bathroom. “I’m really sorry for what I said, I didn’t mean it.” Tears started to roll down Umi’s cheeks, “I’m so happy that we made this life together, I don’t want it to be ruined because I’m a fucking idiot.”599Please respect copyright.PENANA6QDDwRMdoG
The bathroom door opened, Umi shot up and waited for her wife to appear in the doorway. “Umi….” Kotori walked into the hall, her eyes bloodshot from crying, she was breathing heavily and shaking. “I love you so much.”599Please respect copyright.PENANAx8zwiagN5n
Umi stepped forward and embraced Kotori, “I love you even more, your my one and only and nothing anybody says or does can change that.” 599Please respect copyright.PENANA42EcvOBKj2
Umi’s phone started to ring, she pulled it out her pocket an answered it, Kotori still held with her free arm. “Hello?”599Please respect copyright.PENANADsOZGPeegP
“Where are you guys at?” The voice over the phone asked.599Please respect copyright.PENANAaOHpQzOH1X
“I don’t know if we’ll be going with you on this trip.” 599Please respect copyright.PENANAwWfkl2UqiZ
“What’s going on?”599Please respect copyright.PENANAKse0c6S2dn
“Nothing, it’s personal.” She looked at Kotori, “Hold on,” She move the phone away from her ear. “Do you still want to go to the summer competition?”599Please respect copyright.PENANApdodtjWFNS
“I don’t know, can we talk about it real quick?”599Please respect copyright.PENANAVqXp47qvQX
She put the phone back up to her ear, “I’ll call you back in a couple minutes.” Hanging up Umi slid the phone back in her pocket.599Please respect copyright.PENANABG9eecHsum
“If we go I don’t want this competition between us.”599Please respect copyright.PENANAkOfuVzUj65
599Please respect copyright.PENANAQcjIey7w1c
“It won’t, even if we get put on seperate teams it won’t affect you and me.”599Please respect copyright.PENANAfuSAeLuJyu
“I don’t like the idea,” She gripped Umi tighter. “What if one of us gets eliminated?”599Please respect copyright.PENANAdOLkPGXBNF
“Then that will give the other all the motivation they need to win.” She smiled and kissed Kotori’s forehead. “I’m thinking an anniversary honeymoon once we get back, whether we win or not.” Kotori smiled and laid her head on Umi’s shoulder. “Are we going, I don’t care as long as I’m with you.”599Please respect copyright.PENANAbDayOagmgQ
“Uh-huh.” Kotori moved her head up and down.599Please respect copyright.PENANAmoFCeQIHX7
Umi pulled the phone back out her pocket and called Eli. “Hey, we’ll be there in like twenty minutes.” She hung up and slid it back in her pocket. “We need to get going then,” Umi put her hand under Kotori’s chin and tilted her head up. “I love you,” She kissed her.599Please respect copyright.PENANAuhHvgPxUrK
“I love you too.”

“A couple hours, it’ll be awhile before we get there.” Eli replied, “Okay everyone on the bus.” 599Please respect copyright.PENANAvMAM8pe1at
Everyone loaded the bus sitting by their significant others. “Wouldn’t be a bad idea for those of you who didn’t listen to my russian waifu and sleep to get rested now before we get to the docks.” Nozomi suggested, Eli leaned her head on Nozomi’s shoulder and fell asleep. 599Please respect copyright.PENANAqHh9DUf4TL

“Will I now?” Nico said sarcastically, Maki didn’t reply just smiled and drifted off to sleep.599Please respect copyright.PENANAw5jBNgp2sc
“Tsubasa..” Honoka was laying her head in Tsubasa’s lap while Tsubasa ran her fingers through Honoka’s hair. 599Please respect copyright.PENANAupCwhLytSz
“Yes.” Tsubasa replied, tears started to form in Honoka’s eyes. “What’s wrong?”599Please respect copyright.PENANAZeKofZbnIT
“I’m sorry…..” Honoka sat up and hugged her. “I know I’ve been a pain to live with let alone be with. I really am sorry for being like this, and I promise that I’ll change.” At this point Honoka was tightly hugging Tsubasa crying.599Please respect copyright.PENANAjnhf3i8pal
Tsubasa moved Honoka where she could face her. “I love how you are now, that’s one of the reasons I married you. I love being able to look after you and help you whenever you're struggling. You make my life have purpose, I love you for that.” Tsubasa kissed Honoka an hugged her again. “I wouldn’t be who I am today without you, and I wouldn’t give you up for anything.” Honoka soon after fell asleep in Tsubasa’s arms.
