Honey and Tamaki chat while Mori helps Haruhi cook.
Synopsis
A tropical paradise with the Ouran Host Club might be bliss to some, but Haruhi thinks otherwise as she is stuck with the Hosts at the Tropical Aqua Garden, owned and managed by none other than The Ootori Group. While there, disaster strikes when an artifical lever is hit and Honey is separated from his friends, disappearing into the dangerous greenery. Mori and Haruhi attempt to find Honey and nearly get hurt in an encounter with The Black Onion Squad, but are saved by none other than Honey, despite having some mishaps along the way. Their trip ends well and the Hosts unanimously decide to vacation at a natural beach the following summer.
Chapter Summary
Haruhi thinks she’s dreaming of paradise, but when Honey comes up to her, she realizes it's not a dream and is frustrated. Tamaki says he feels relaxed since there are no guests to entertain and he explains
the features of the Aqua Garden. Haruhi recalls how she was kidnapped by the twins earlier that day and asks Tamaki what Kyoya’s family does for living. Tamaki replies that Kyoya’s family is in medical management and, sometimes, swimming pool management. Kyoya further explains more of his family's business in a way that rouses Haruhi's suspicions.
The twins ask her to play with them, which Haruhi rejects because she doesn't feel like swimming and doesn’t want to change clothes. She adds that a vinyl pool is better anyway, which the twins find curious because they don’t know what a vinyl pool is. When Haruhi attempts to explain, they become even more confused. Tamaki says that if Haruhi believes in it, they should believe in it, too.
Honey invites Haruhi to play with him and Haruhi notices that he's wearing a life preserver, prompting her to ask if he can swim. Honey replies that he can, but it looks cuter when he's wearing the life preserver. This shocks the rest of the group, but Kyoya reminds them that if he just said that he would look cuter, the group might think he's vain.
Honey calls to them so they can watch him sitting on Mori's back while he swims against the current of the lap pool, making it appear as if they aren't moving at all. The bored twins try to get Tamaki to play with them but he refuses, so they begin to harass Haruhi, saying things like, “Let’s get married right now, Haruhi,” which provokes Tamaki into a water fight with them.
Takashi finishes swimming and Haruhi offers him a drink of coconut juice. Meanwhile, as the twins and Tamaki play, Tamaki accidently hits a lever, causing the water where Honey frollicks to spin rapidly, separating him from the group. Mori tries to follow but, instead, swirls in the opposite direction. Tamaki asks Kyoya how to operate the resort, but Kyoya ignores him. The group then attempts to rescue both Honey and Mori, but crocodiles are everywhere and before they realize it, Mori is in front of them without his constant companion.
Kyoya reveals that he's been taking notes in order to test the safety of his family’s resort. Tamaki tries to lead them, but Haruhi and Mori go off by themselves. Haruhi notices that even though his facial expression is always the same he must be worried because, after all, he’s good friends with Honey. The twins and Kyoya correct her -- Honey and Mori are cousins, with the Morinozuka family having served the Haninozuka family for generations.
This greatly surprises Haruhi since she had no idea that they were related. Tamaki adds that the blood flowing in Mori's veins is the same blood from past generations.
Haruhi tells Mori not to worry because Honey will be safe. He smiles at Haruhi and pats her head. The twins and Tamaki see this and Tamaki thinks Mori wants to be Haruhi's “Daddy” to which the twins reply that no one wants that job. They accuse Tamaki of putting Haruhi into a shirt and trousers because he doesn't want anyone else but him to see Haruhi in a swimsuit. Tamaki denies it, saying he only wants to protect her. Mori is still looking for his cousin and goes off in a new direction. Haruhi notices and tells him he's going the wrong way, which he refutes. Haruhi follows but becomes afraid of the wild animals on the path. Mori calls her by her first name for the first time.
He picks up Haruhi and carries her on their path. Kyoya calls his family’s private police force, The Black Onion Squad, to search for Honey. The twins and Tamaki finally notice that Haruhi and Mori aren't among them.
The police force is told to search for a “small boy” and upon seeing Mori carrying Haruhi, they mistake Haruhi for said boy. When the police officers try to "rescue" Haruhi, who is confused, Honey suddenly reappears and before they know it, he's defeated all the police officers, declaring that anyone who messes with his friends is a goner.
The rest of the gang finds Honey, Haruhi and Mori. The twins
say it seems as if nothing has happened. Haruhi, who is curious, asks how Honey was able to defeat the police officers. The twins are shocked that she doesn't know that the Haninozuka family is renowned for martial arts and that while still in junior high school, Honey participated in champion international judo fights. Haruhi then realizes how strong he truly is. Honey praises Mori for protecting Haruhi, then asks to be carried to the exit. The twins mention that the following summer, they should go to the ocean. Tamaki says it’s stupid because Haruhi isn’t interested, but when Haruhi says it might be fun at the ocean, he changes his mind.
