DISCLAIMER I DO NOT OWN OURAN IN ANYWAY SHAPE OR FORM
Dedicated to AundreyTucker0001 as one of my six thank you stories
Bobby Tucker groaned as she felt sunlight hitting her face, waking her from her sleep. She opened her eyes and could see a maid opening the curtains to her big window in her new room.
" Do you have to do that?" Bobby asked as rubbed her face, trying to adjust to the sun getting her right in her eyes.
"Oh yes I must. This a part of the other two mistresses' wake-up routine after all," said the maid as she opened another curtain.
"I can get up on my own," Bobby muttered.
"I'm sorry Mistress but your stepmother made it perfectly clear that we were not to treat you any different from our other two young mistress," the maid explained bowing her head as she spoke, "good morning by the way."
Good morning," Bobby replied in a groggy tone as she slumped in her bed. It wasn't as if she didn't like her new stepmother or her two stepsisters. They were far from the stereotypical wicked stepmother and stepsisters types.
Her stepmother, Ayuka Hashioru, was the daughter of one of the biggest car manufacturers in the world. Ayuka and her other siblings each had their own job to do as a part of the company. One of Ayuka's main duties was to visit some of the foreign customers' companies. That's how she met Bobby and her father Austin. Austin was a mechanic for one of the business partners' garages. One day when Ayuka was visiting, her car broke down right in front of him. Austin immediately started to fix, no questions asked, and in record time. He impressed Ayuka so much, she started coming to the garage more and more just to see him. She'd even go so far as to blow off important clients just to spend time with him.
When Bobby first met her, she didn't have any idea just how rich and powerful Ayuka was. To her, she was just a nice lady who seemed to like her dad and her dad liked her. Soon Ayuka started bringing her own two daughters Chiaki and Takato with her to visit. Takato was a year older than Bobby while while Chiaki was a year younger than her. They two were, to Bobby just two regular nice girls that she got along with pretty well. Granted there were a few things they clashed on. The main thing being how much of a tomboy Bobby was.
When Bobby had born, for some reason everyone had thought she going to be a boy since the ultrasound made her look like one or something. In either case, her parents had decorated her room with mostly boys' things, and couldn't really afford to change it up. So as Bobby grew up, she was used to having boys things around her. When her parents tried offering her things more for girls, she'd usually pass in favor of boys' things instead. Then later, when Bobby was still really young, her mother passed away, leaving her father to raise her on his own. That led to Bobby being exposed to the more masculine upbringing than feminine.
Dissipate all that, Bobby did get along with Chiaki and Takato pretty well. And she really liked Ayuka, especially the way she seemed to make her dad feel happy.
Then, one day, just before Bobby had finished her first year of high school, her dad told her he wanted to marry Ayuka and moving to Japan. But only if Bobby was okay with it. Bobby had actually no problem with it at the time. She had even been studying Japanese for a while ever since her dad and Ayuka started seeing each other. So she felt like she could handle such a thing, especially if it meant her dad could be happy.
What she hadn't count on was the big cultural shock she'd get when she found out how rich and powerful Ayuka was. She hadn't expected to suddenly finding herself living in a huge house, filled with servants and getting driven around the place in limousines or other really fancy cars. Her old house could manage to fit in one of the many different garages with room to spare.
Another thing that came with joining was how much she was expected to act like a lady, wearing dresses and talking politely. Granted her stepsisters had done their best to help coach in how to behave as a member of their class, she just didn't seem to be able to get it. She'd much rather just wear jeans and a t-shirt and not worry too much about what she said. At least Ayuka let her be herself while at home, but if Bobby wanted to go out, she was expected to act like someone she just wasn't. That made her feel really nervous about attending some elite private school Chiaki and Takato attended where all the girls dressed and behaved like "proper" young ladies.
Bobby gave off a heavy sigh as she thought about going to such a school. However she was distracted by the sound of the maid rummaging through her closet.
"Ah, here we are," she said as she came out of closet carrying Bobby's new school uniform. The biggest, and yellowest dress Bobby had ever seen. She groaned at the sight.
"Do I have to wear that?" she asked out loud without thinking.
"Well if you don't, what else are you going to wear?" the maid asked, "a boy's uniform?" She giggled to herself at the thought as she hung the dress on the door. "Do you want some help changing?" she asked.
"No thanks, I can handle it," Bobby said, still trying to wake up.
"Very well, breakfast will be served in 15 minutes. If you need help, don't hesitate to call," the maid said as she bowed and headed out of the room.
"Yeah sure," Bobby muttered rubbing her face.
After she had managed to get into her new uniform, she went and looked at herself in the mirror.
'Oh god, I could almost pass for SpongeBob Square Pants,' she thought.
"Oh Bobby, you look cute!" she suddenly heard Takato say as she saw her coming into the room through the mirror.
"Thanks I guess," said Bobby.
"Oh Bobby, the dress looks great on you!" Chiaki said also coming into the room. Both sisters came and stood on either side of her. Bobby knew she stood out among the two of them, with her dark auburn hair eyes very the other two's long black hair and gray eyes.
"I know you don't look like me and Chiaki, but the three of us standing here, like sisters, it's kind of cute! Don't you think?" Takato said.
"I guess so," Bobby admitted, though she didn't smile.
"Something wrong?" Chiaki asked.
"This dress," Bobby started to say.
"Uh-oh, not this again," Taichi said in a teasing tone.
"What's so wrong with it?" Chiaki asked.
"Do I have to wear it?" Bobby asked.
"Well the only other option would be to wear a boy's uniform," Taichi said.
"How bad do they look?" Bobby asked.
"You're not seriously considering it are you? Chiaki asked.
"Well hang on," Taichi spoke up. She gave Bobby a big sister understanding look. "Why don't you just try wearing this for your first day and if you really don't like it, you can ask Mother about an alternative okay?"
"Sure," Bobby said.
"In the meantime, let's do something with your hair to really help you make a good impression!" Chiaki quickly said pulling Bobby towards her vanity table.
"Do we have to?" Bobby asked.
"Tell you what, we won't today or any other day you have to wear this dress. But should you get your alternative uniform, we get to do your hair and makeup in full force," Taichi said.
"Deal," Bobby agreed reaching for a brush and brushing her hair normally.
"Ah," Chiaki moaned.
Taichi giggled and started leading her sister out of the room. "Come on, let's go get s breakfast. You better hurry too Bobby. You don't want to go to school on an empty stomach," she said.
"Right," Bobby said still brushing her hair.
By the time she got downstairs, she could see Taichi talking to Ayuka.
"She doesn't like the dress?" Ayuka said out loud. Taichi nodded her head.
Ayuka looked towards where Bobby had come in. "Bobby, you don't like your uniform?" She asked.
"Are you kidding?" Bobby said looking down at the dress.
"Bobby, be nice," warned her dad from his seat at the table.
"She's fine," Ayuka said. However she still gave Bobby a serious look. "Bobby, does it really you that much?"
"Kind of," Bobby admitted like it was nothing.
Ayuka sighed. "Well can you at least give it a try while I look for something else for you?" She asked.
"Sure, no problem," said Bobby.
"Thank you," Ayuka said sounding relived.
"You should know Mother, she's already agreed to let us do her hair and makeup if she gets her alternate uniform," Taichi made sure to mention with a smirk.
"Oh that makes it all better," Ayuka said, seeming to perk up a bit at the thought.
"What did you do that for?!" Bobby asked.
"I'm a big sister, it's what we do," Taichi said.
"So by your logic, I can pull that crap on her," Bobby asked pointing to Chiaki.
"Are you kidding? You can be both the pesky little sister and bratty sister since you're in the middle," said Taichi.
"I'm going to remember that when you're doing my hair and makeup," Bobby taunted with a smirk of her own. Taichi just laughed.
"Well, welcome to Ouran Academy Bobby!" Chiaki said excitedly when Bobby and her stepsisters pulled up to the so called highly elite school. Bobby got out of the car and looked it over. It sure did look a little impressive. "What do you think?" Chiaki asked eagerly.
"It's, big, that's for sure, and very pink," Bobby said.
"Don't worry, you'll get use to it," Taichi assured her as she and Chiaki led her to the front door. However they were soon started by a very loud sound. They all looked at where the sound had come from to see another limo nearby with the driver quickly getting out and opening the hood.
"Oh dear this looks bad!" He said, "I may have to go get you a whole new limo sir!"
"What, it can't be that bad," Bobby said walked over to the car and pushing the driver over. She looked under the hood and inspected it. "It's fine, something just needs some tightening, that's all. Can someone grab me a wrench?"
"Bobby, what are you doing?" Taichi asked.
"Trying to keep this guy from blowing away a couple million dollars for a simple fix," Bobby said, "Now can I get a wrench please?"
She could hear the car door opening and suddenly a wrench seemed to appear in front of her face. "Oh thanks," she said as she looked up to see who had given it to her. There stood a tall boy with black hair and a serious face. It was still a handsome face. It made her loose her breath for a moment. "Uh thank you," Bobby said again a bit softer as she tried to turn her attention back to fixing the car. She tried to turn what she needed to turn but was finding it extremely difficult. Try as she might, she couldn't manage to get to turn. "Why won't you move?!" She said out loud in frustration. Suddenly she was gently pushed aside by the big boy next to her who took the wrench and started turning it himself.
"Uh you're turning it the wrong way," Bobby said softly. The boy nodded at her and started turning it the right way. He kept turning until he looked to Bobby for clarification.
"Yeah that should be good enough," Bobby assured him. The boy nodded before looking towards his driver. The man nodded and quickly started the car again. It sounded perfect. "There, see, easy, problem solved," Bobby said.
"Thank you," said the boy suddenly. Bobby jumped before looking back at him.
"Sure of course," she said. The boy surprised her even more by rubbing her cheek. "Uh," Bobby sputtered.
"You had some oil on your face," the boy explained.
"Oh," said Bobby.
"And you got some on your dress!" Chiaki shouted
"Come on, let's go see if we can fox this," Taichi said, leading Bobby away. Bobby turned and looked at the boy as she walked off.
"Who is that?" She asked.
"That's Takashi Morinozuka, a third year like me," Taichi told her, "why do you ask?"
"Oh my gosh, Bobby do you have a crush on him?!" Chiaki asked.
"Oh I wouldn't go that far," said Bobby.
"Well if you want, we can introduce you to him via through the host club," Taichi said.
"The host club?" Bobby said, "do I want to know what that is?"
Both her stepsisters giggled.
"Come with us after school and you'll find out," Taichi said.
"Oh great, why does this sound like a trap?" Bobby asked.
