The doors to Music Room 3 opened up finally on that first summer day, ready for young teens to rush in. Everyone arrived exactly on time so the new day could begin and the club could make their profits. It really was something. They had all put forth a lot of effort on todays theme, America.
Of course the King of the club had thought of the entire thing down to the very last detail. The room was decorated in all kinds of American plants, American food, and everything else you would find in your average American home. Well, what the King thought you would find anyways. They all went to their ready positions by the chair where the seemingly victorious leader sat.
"WELCOME," They greeted in unison. "TO THE OURAN -"
The team was cut off short when the shriveled up school janitor entered the room, humming to himself. His height casted a small shadow through the open windows. The birds outside tweeted through their awkward silence. They had been expecting young ladies, not the janitor.
"Well, good morning, kids." He piped. "How's your day off been?"
"Day off?" Haruhi asked, obviously confused. The man chuckled.
"School ended last Friday. Today is the first Monday of summer break."
The club shot their leader a death glare, who had called them at three am just to make sure they remembered. Learning that it was all for nothing, they readied their pitch forks.
"Now, now, now." The guilt stricken King said trying to calm them down. "There must be a mistake for this." His eyes frantically searched the room, "I checked the calendar over on the wall-"
"If you really checked it you would know that the calendar over there is from last year." Kyoya said while pushing up his glasses. The groups eyes glowed red.
"YOU MADE US GET UP EARLY FOR NOTHING?" The twins, Hikaru and Kaoru, accused. Hikaru grabbed Tamaki by the collar of his American imported tee-shirt. "Your going to pay-"
"Don't fight with Tama-chan!" Honey pleaded rushing between them, then held up his bear. "You can talk to Usa-Chan about it, Hika-Chan. Usa-chan is a really good listener-"
"I don't think that'll help." Kaoru said while looking at his evil twin. His aura gave off the smell of mischieveious ideas.
Haruhi yawned, "I'm going back to bed..." She mumbled, turning towards the door. Tamaki pulled loose and took her hand.
"But I already got the costumes and everything!" He whined, "Haruhi, you wouldn't leave daddy alone with these guys right?"
"My dads at work, so he should be fine."
"But while he's away I am your father. Daddy will make a bed for you here!" He pulled out his phone. "Hello, Mattress Kingdom? Yes, I would like-"
She snatched the phone away. "Stop that!"
While the argument continued on in the background, Kaoru listened to Hikaru's revenge plans. Mori sat at Honey's table waiting for him to come and finish his breakfast. Kyoya, obviously annoyed, walked up to the janitor and began to apologize.
"Could you come to this room later?" Kyoya asked the janitor nicely. "I am very sorry for your trouble. We'll have this place cleaned up for you."
Honey looked over from Tamaki, to Haruhi, to the twins, and back to Mori. Once Usa-Chan was back in his seat, he sat down and took a bite of his very syrupy pancakes. With a big swallow he sighed as Tamaki began to explain, once again, the relation ship a father should have with his daughter.
"I don't think Tama-Chan has figured it out yet." Honey said sadly to himself, Hikaru glanced at him.
"What do you mean?" He asked, following his gaze to the two fighting in the corner. Mori's hand shot up between them before he could reply, "Mitsukuni."
Over on the other table was a piece of delicious chocolate cake. It looked as if it was waiting there just for Honey. His eyes lit up and the kid-like high school student ran over to it giggling with joy. Kaoru looked over at Mori suspiciously, then once he got the message, he poked Hikaru on the side with a smile.
"Tag," He chanted happily. "your it!"
Forgetting about the entire thing, Hikaru ran after Kaoru determined to win.
Everyone seemed to be busy with the summer plans that they didn't even notice that two men had came in with a letter for Kyoya. After they explained in hushed tones and had left he opened the letter curiously, and pushed his glasses up once again. The letter was addressed to everyone in the host club and an included student from the local high school.
Everyone froze, noticing his amusement, and rushed over at once to see what it said. Haruhi was walking slowly over so Tamaki picked her up bridal style and carried her over. He knew she didn't like it, but what were dads for?
"Sempi! Put my down!" She ordered, struggling too loosen his grip.
"But your tired Haruhi. And a father carries his daughter with care when she is -"
"Shhh!" Hikaru scolded while everyone leaned in to read over Kyoya's shoulder. They all read it out loud in unison.
Dear Ouran Host Club,
Due to the clubs popularity and happiness you have given us girls, we have decided to send you to a hot springs spa! Teehee! Think of it as a gift from this years Senior class. Us girls worked very hard to get money and want you guys to take a break. We also chose a less expensive one so Haruhi wouldn't get too overwhelmed from the differences between the two societies. It's an all expense paid trip to a hot spring outside of the Kyoto area (once again, so Haruhi wont get overwhelmed). Hope you find it to your liking, Happy relaxation!
Love, your senior class
"Excuse me-"
"Wow!" Honey exclaimed, interrupting Haruhi with joy. "Takashi do you hear that? We are going to a hot spring!"
"And apparently there is also someone else. This girl has a cousin who goes to the local high school, she is to attend too." Kyoya said, slipping out another piece of paper from the envelope. "Joceline Fairchild, she just moved here from America and wont go anywhere. Her cousin wants her to have fun this summer and experience Japan before she leaves after the summer is over."
"An American, huh?" Tamaki muttered while glancing over Kyoya's shoulder.
"She goes to the local high school?" Haruhi asked, then scratched her head. "Maybe I could get Arai to help us find her. He knows everyone by face and name-"
"I can help find her!" Hikaru and Tamaki both screamed in unison, then glared at each other.
"Thanks guys," Haruhi said clueless with a smile. "we need all the help we can get."
After she left to go to call her old friend the boys all began to plan their summer, mos, while Hikaru and Tamaki stayed still. They just sat there and glared at each other, one daring the other to move. Kaoru took Hikaru's hand and pulled him over to talk to their parents about the trip over the phone. Once everyone had called Kyoya noticed Tamaki was still looking in the direction Haruhi had gone.
Once Haruhi got back everything was planned and Arai was on the lookout for Joceline Day. She pulled out her phone to call her dad, but Kyoya took hey hand away from her face. He had already called while she was talking to Arai. She hadn't noticed that she was on the phone for thirty minutes. Which made Hikaru and Tamaki uneasy.
"Kyoya, it's really weird that you keep in touch with my dad like this." She said irritated, but he just smiled at her.
"You were taking too long. Besides, he is used to me anyways." Then he looked over at Tamaki. "If I hadn't of called Tamaki would of wanted too. Do you think your dad would say yes if it was Tamaki asking?"
She thought for a second, "Now that you mention it-"
"What's wrong with me calling?" Tamaki asked pouty. The twins smiled mischievously.
"Well you did attack Haruhi in her apartment," Kaoru said.
"and her dad just so happened to see." Hikaru finished.
"I didn't mean to! I tripped!" he defended, "I was paying respects to her mother."
"Way to cover it up, Tama-chan!" Honey cheered. "That's a good excuse."
"I think I am going to throw up." Haruhi said bluntly and grossed out.
"And remember at the beach-"
"Hey I was just trying to help!" Tamaki said, "Besides, Hikaru. Your the one who left her alone during a thunder storm!"
"How was I supposed to know she-"
Ring ,ring, ring!
They ran up to Haruhi who answered her phone. It was Arai. He had bumped into Joceline after school coincidentally and told her they needed her. She was on her way over. They all began to freak out as they saw how big of a mess the room was in. Tamaki and Hikaru were sitting there sad that Arai got to her first. Kaoru stopped them.
"Hey guys, she is American. She might like it like this." He said encouragingly. Kyoya sighed.
"Well we don't have time to clean up the entire room. The school isn't far away."
"So we will leave it!" Tamaki declared, "We will great her with a American themed trip party."
"Sempi, I don't think she will like this sort of stuff-"
"Of course she will! She's American!" He said happily while Haruhi sighed.
The minutes went by and soon a knock sounded off from the other side of the door. Nervously she opened the door and began to walk into the room. Complete shock rippled across her face. Tamaki smiled, knowing from the start she would like it. Kyoya walked over to her and introduced all of them while handing her the letter. She slowly nodded while reading it then handed it back.
"I'm sorry." She said shyly, "But I don't think I can go. I've been a long way from home for a while now and will soon be leaving for America."
"But your not leaving till the end of the summer." Haruhi said nicely.
"I decided to go home early. I can't stand being alone for that long." She said, then Tamaki smiled and put his charm to work.
"Of course miss, but don't you want to go for a couple of days just to see what it's like?" Tamaki moved closer to her. "I'm sure you'll love it-"
She pushed him away and shuffled back a couple of steps.
"Please don't do that-"
"Joceline-Chan!" Honey yelled happily. "Please come. If you don't like it you can leave! We promise. You should enjoy yourself!"
"Your cousin really wanted you to go." Haruhi said, trying to convince her. "It could be fun. The spa would be a nice place to relax and enjoy yourself, plus its a fun experience to have before leaving Japan."
"Joceline..Joceline.." Tamaki muttered, then snapped his finger. "You wouldn't happen to be French, would you?"
"No, why do you ask?"
"Your name is French, is it not?" Bingo, Tamaki had stricken a chord. "It's very pretty."
"Well..Thank you. "She said, blushing awkwardly, "No one has ever told me that before."
"Well they should." He said happily. "So would you please go? It wouldn't be the same without you."
With a sigh she tapped her foot nervously.
"Fine."
"Hoorrrraaayyy!" Tamaki cheered, "Très bien!"
"Merci."
The King smiled at this.
"Tu as quel âge?"
"J'ai seize ans."
"Oh. Je m'appelle Tamaki. Il s'appelle Haruhi, Hikaru, Kaoru, Kyoya, Mori, and Honey."
"Enchante. Je m'appelle Joceline." She switched back to Japanese. "But you knew that."
They all looked at Tamaki and her confused.
"Tamaki asked me my age, I am sixteen. He introduced you guys to me and I said delighted to meet you. I am Joceline, but you knew that."
"Great." Haruhi muttered. "More French."
She smiled back happily, "But only a quarter of a semesters worth."
Honey wanted to hear more, but the twins were annoyed and covered his mouth. Mori ended up pointing out to him another piece of cake to distract him again. Kyoya pushed up his glasses and began to check his clipboard. Joceline looked around and let out a little laugh. Leaning in she said more words to him in French and his face went white.
"What did you tell him?" Honey asked.
She smiled sweetly.
"I told him next time you guys do something American themed to not use Hetalia as a source."
*Okay, so I know Hetalia most likely wasn't around when this was but its a fanfic so I decided to add it. And Tamaki doesn't speak French in the anime (that I am aware of), but why can't he in my story? lol. I also know it's a bit off, but I am in french 1 so please don't chunk "Teach Yourself French" books at me (I already own one anyways hahahaha). Hope you enjoy! My chapters might not end up being long though. Warning! But I still hope you guys like it. I decided to write this because there were so many out there but hardly any were finished. They always stopped after the first-eight chapters. So I thought I would write one myself and try to reach my goal of finishing it :) And yeah, I know I said that I may add a character later on. BUT I HAD THIS CHARACTER IN MIND AND I COULDN'T RESIST! I got the name Joceline from my French 1 class. And yes, it's my French class name. Enjoy!
