All was quiet in Music Room #3. The air hung as if waiting for its que. Blackness flowed freely throughout. For the first time in a while, the Host Club was not there to greet the rich girls waiting outside the door. Instead, a small pink sticky note was pasted to the door. The girls stared at it. Then, as if one person, they all gasped at the same time. One second, then two seconds passed. Three...Four..."OH MY GOODNESS! WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?!" was the chorus. A brave girl with curly blonde hair stepped forward. "We must find them! This note must be a lie! Something must have happened to them!" The yellow figures pondered what could've happened, then started shouting out opinions.

"Maybe they were kidnapped!"

"Or decided to run away!"

"Maybe they're being held for ransom!"

"Maybe rabid goats came in the middle of the night and picked each one off one by one!"

The girls all agreed with the last shout. The blonde girl spoke up again. "Let's start asking people where they last spotted goats!"

And with that, the mob of fangirls charged down the hall, serious to find out what had happened to them. They didn't believe that the Host Club was closed for today. It was too normal. It was too commoner-like just to not show up. They just couldn't swallow the fact that the Host Club would let them down. Which was why they were now downstairs interrogating each and every member of Ouran High, asking if they had seen multiple goats today.

Far away from the warm shelter of Ouran High's grounds, the Host Club stood under a small roof of some kind, shivering and completely soaked. Rain poured from the skies, pounding upon the thin roof with no mercy. The golden-haired boy in the middle was the only one without a down-cast look upon his face. "Okay everyone! I'll lead! On the count of three, we all run out into the rain and start dancing!" There was a murmur of agreement from the huddled group of handsome gentlemen. They glared daggers at their King. Yet out of all of the men there, a small petite, girly looking gentlemen glared the most. He sighed.

"Tamaki-senpai, when I said we should go dance in the rain for our field trip, I was joking." The heads of all the members immediately began to glare at him instead. Luckily, the blonde, Tamaki, was there to intervene from any violence taking place.

"That's okay Haruhi! It was a wonderful idea!" His violet eyes gleamed and he held his hands together as if admiring Haruhi. "But don't worry, sweetheart! Daddy will take care of you and protect you from Mr. Rain!" And with that, he grabbed her hand and dragged her into the downpour. As he ran, Hikaru and Kaoru called out to him.

"But I thought you said you would count to three," they groaned in unison. They had planned to run back to Ouran after he had counted slowly, but now it was too late. The sinking feeling of being forced to run into the rain and dance like idiots was confirmed when the blonde yelled behind his back "THREE!" and all the members of the host club took off, leaving the twins alone. Sighing, they ran after Tamaki, not noticing that Honey, Mori, and Kyoya had decided to stay under the small shelter.

They immediately spotted their leader dancing and spinning crazily in the rain with Haruhi, which they couldn't take. Hikaru ran to push Tamaki out of the way and dance with Haruhi instead. Tamaki then went to sulk in some imaginary corner as the rain poured down. As Kaoru ran to join Hikaru and Haruhi, he slipped and fell into the mud. He gasped in suprise as his body met the wet surface. Hikaru quickly ran to help is twin up.

"Kaoru...don't scare me like that. You could've been hurt..." he muttered as his face hovered closely to Kaoru's. Then he dragged his muddy brother tenderly upright by the arm. Just then, all the Host Club members paused to listen. They couldn't make it out at first, but quickly began realizing what it was. The sound of screaming girls sounded far off in the distance. All the members turned their heads to see worried fangirls moaning promises of help and "release from their goat captors" as soon as the rain stopped.

Tamaki, being the cunning man he was, stood up tall. Rose petals began to flow out of the sky from nowhere, and a pink mist landed in the muddy place they were in. "Don't worry about us, my princesses. We are fine, my dears. We have rescued young Kaoru from the goats and are taking him back to the Nurse's office for attention, the poor soul." That alone caused the girls to inch closer and closer to the mud puddle just outside Ouran's large covered patio.

"The poor thing!" a girl shrieked. Tamaki tossed his hair and laughed smoothly causing a few girls to drop to the ground with a soft thump.

"So, my dears, I simply must insist you get your lovely selves back inside before you catch a cold!" And with that he winked. Instantly, the girls swooned, then rushed back inside, being unable to resist the lovely Tamaki's persuasion methods. After the last girl that had fainted had been carried away on a stretcher, he turned back to the Host Club, still wondering how they had been so close to Ouran the whole time.

"Okay team.." the blonde king began, suddenly noticing that the pink mist was still there and Kaoru was spitting out a rose petal that had gotten into his mouth. He looked up into the sky angrily, like there was someone up there writing the whole story, and the mist immediately disappeared.

"What the..." were the only words that exited out of Haruki's mouth. She just shook her head and looked back at Tamaki, who still stood before the group. The sky was still a dark shade of gray, and she secretly hung on desperately to the hope that the clouds would not produce thunder and lightning. Everyone began to trudge back to Ouran and Music Room #3 at the same moment, as if some agreement was heard, though nothing was said.

As they walked, Haruhi found herself walking beside Hikaru. She turned to him to find the eldest twin smiling at her genuinely for some reason. She couldn't help but smile too. Unconciously, she moved a bit closer to him as they entered the building. Only when their shoulders brushed did her cheeks turn a rosy pink. She looked away, biting her lower lip so he wouldn't see. Hikaru just walked slowly, staring at her, wondering what she was thinking. As she turned her head back to the front, it was his turn to look away. An uncomfortable silence followed as they climbed the stairs to the Host Club's room. Nothing else was said between the two.

The only one to notice the small exchange was Kaoru. He stood at the back. His brother was growing up, and he should be proud right? Yet a certain feeling filled him and his mind swam with confusion. He looked away, feeling like he was invading their privacy. As they entered the room, shivering and cold, he was still pondering the feeling. When the Host Club parted, he pondered. When he and Kaoru climbed into their limo to begin the journey home, he wondered. He just looked out the window, lost in thought.
