*Lincoln School for Orphans and Unwanted Children, New York*

My day began as normal as it could get. I was just siting in Lit class, ignoring the teacher. When the speaker in the room crackled to life.

"Emily O'Malley to the counselor's office please." The speaker aid, and turned off just as quickly as it came on. he room filled with the usual ooh's that happen when someone gets called up.

"What'd you do now Roux?" I heard Jane 'Perfect' Lakes say with an eye-roll. I wished I could turn back around and slap the princess. She's always been on my case, ever since I accidentally destroyed her clay volcano in 1st grade. It wasn't my fault my rubber-band ball bounced out of control and squashed it, she should've built it out of sturdier material. I left the class and headed to the office. The good news about being called up during Lit is that the office is just down the hall. I walked on dow the hall and entered the office in a matter minutes. (Hey, I wasn't in a hurry to see whats going on, why waste a perfect reason to be out of class). I entered and sitting there were two men. One was Mr. Thomas, I sweat dropped. This wasn't going to be good if Mr. Thomas got called into this. The other guy looked to be in his late thirties, maybe early forties, business man. He was dressed in a suit and had dark greying hair, he looked the type to win over clients with charisma and a smile. They didn't seem to have noticed that I had arrived yet, I almost decided to back track out of there when Mr. Thomas looked over and saw me. He smiled and gestured for me to come over to them.

"This is Emily." Mr. Thomas said with a proud smile. So maybe I'm not in trouble. I think with a sigh of relief. Now that I had a closer look it seems that the business guy was japanese, this just kept getting more and more interesting. "Emily, this is Mr. Suoh." I stuck my hand out for and hand shake, but Mr. Suoh leaned in and kissed the top of my hand. Ok, this is weird. I think as I pulled my hand away.

"Um, nice to meet you." I say giving him a small smile. "Mr. Thomas why exactly was I called here?" I ask looking away from Mr. Suoh. The more he kept looking over at me, the more I wanted to run and hide from this weirdo. Both men exchange a look before Mr. Suoh looks at me and smiles.

"Well you see Emily. It's a tragic story but, one night about 13 years ago I was at this party. You see I was a wild young thing, and a bit depressed since I just got remarried and my mother didn't approve, so she didn't acknowledge my new wife's existence. Although she is a lovely woman, perfect for any man to marry in my opinion.." Mr. Suoh started to ramble.

"Um, excuse me sir but could you get to the point of this story a little quicker." I say giving him an impatient look. He cleared his throat and got back to the story,

"Yes well, I was very upset and a little drunk, when I met this beautiful woman with flaming hair. She was quite lovely too. Well, one thing led to another and we...well...um had a wild night and I woke up in a hotel room by myself. Never saw the woman again. Nine months later I find a baby on my doorstep with a shamrock necklace. I just patched things up with the media and I didn't know what to do with the baby, so I asked my mother and she well-ordered me to put the child in an orphanage away from here. So I did, and years later my mother says I can bring in my son from France and well I figured why not bring home my lovely daughter as well. And now we're up to present day." He says with a lovely smile my way. He said 13 years ago a child with a shamrock necklace. I fiddle with my necklace, it's a simple thing really a green shamrock on a silver chain, then I sweat-dropped when it hit me.

"So you say that I'm that child." I say giving him a disbelieving stare. This man couldn't be my father. I think, there's no way for it to be true could there? I look over at he nods his head in answer to my question.

"Yes Roux, you are this man's child. I remember like it was yesterday." Mr. Thomas says smiling fondly on old memories.

"So then where exactly do we go from here then?" I ask, wondering about my future and how Mr. Suoh (Father?) fits into this.

"Well, you see Emily Mr. Suoh when he first brought you here to us told me that he'd come back for you one day. So we've been preparing you for this day. Now that he has come to get you. you will now go back to Japan with him." Mr. Thomas says with a smile.

"But, what about my life here?" I say sadly. I mean I couldn't just up and leave. I have a life here and friends. I didn't want to leave all that and go to some foreign country to be with a man I just met and a boy I didn't even know existed.

"Well, you don't have to worry. You'll still be able to keep in touch with them and you'll have the best education at the Ouran Institute. You'll be a second year in the middle school student if I'm not mistaken." Mr. Suoh gives me a loving smile. I start to think it'd be a pretty good idea. Wait, no snap out of it don't fall for one of his charismatic smiles. But it wouldn't be horrible. I think.

"Well, I guess it wouldn't be too bad." I think aloud. Mr. Suoh rushes forward to give me a hug I scream in surprise. This man seems very emotional.

"You've now made me one of the luckiest men alive. I get to live my life now with both my charming son and beautiful daughter. You don't have to call me sir or anything either. Call me daddy if you wish it." Mr. Suoh, Dad, says somehow ending up in a spotlight. This just keeps getting weirder. "I want to bring you home ASAP, so we can leave as soon as you're packed." He gushes. I take this as the cue to head to my room to pack. I run as fast as I can. when I get to my room I look around and see that I don't really have much, so I just toss my clothes into a suitcase and grab my stuffed panda. I smile fondly at it. I grab my bag and leave the room one last time.

"Excellent sweetheart, let's go." Mr. Suoh says. He leads me outside to a limo and we drive to the airport. The ride there was quick and the flight was long and boring. I ended up falling asleep as soon as we take off. When we finally land it's morning. "Come on Emily we're almost home." Dad says as he leads me to another car.

"I can't believe I'm going to be living with a family I didn't know I had." I say sleepily.

"Yes, you'll love mansion #2." He says happily.

"Mansion #2? Why not the main mansion?" I ask, rubbing my eyes.

"My mother won't allow either you or my son into the main mansion." He says sadly. "So you and Tamaki will be living in the second mansion. Don't worry I'll be over there as often as I can."

"Oh, ok," I say. The rest of the ride was quite and we were soon at the mansion. The place was beyond huge. "Wow," I say amazed. We walk inside and I see a boy a little older than I am. He had pretty blonde hair and violet eyes.

"Tamaki, this is your sister Emily." Dad introduces us in japanese. So this is the boy I'm to share this home with.

"Hello young princess. It is a pleasure to meet a girl with such beautiful eyes." Tamaki says with a bow.

"Hi, you don't have to call me princess, I'm just Emily. Although a lot of people call me Roux." I say nervously.

"Ok, Emi-roux," Tamaki says with a smile that could melt butter in the arctic. Geez, these smiles must be in like their DNA or something. I think laughing at the idea.

"Ok, big brother," I say smiling, it makes Tamaki look at me and smile.

"Oh, you're just too cute." Both him and dad say as they both rush at me for a hug. Great, seems like I'm officially in their family. I don't think it'll be that bad. I think as I hug them back.

*Fast forward 2 years*

There's a knock at my door.

" Emi, your uniform for high school just came in. Want to see?" Tamaki says as he comes in carrying the uniform. He hangs it up i my closet and I go to see what it looks like. I nearly barf at the sight of it. It's a hideous yellow marshmallow dress.

"Hell to the NO," I say as I walk out of the closet. "I refuse to be seen in that monstrosity." Tamaki looks at the dress and sighs.

"But you need a uniform and you can't go to your first year of high school wearing the middle school uniform." He says sadly, as he goes to a corner in my room I dubbed the emo corner.

"No don't be sad I'll wear a high school uniform." I say comfortingly to him. I almost resolved to wear the thing when an idea struck me. I run out of my room and down the hall to Tamaki's rooms.

"Emi what are you doing?" He calls after me as he follows a ways behind. I just head straight for his closet. In it were not one, not two, but FIVE uniforms for school. Doesn't surprise me in the slightest I think as I grab one of the uniforms. I walk out of his room when he reaches his door.

"Thanks for you kind donation to my cause big brother." I say, giving him a cute smile that I've perfected over the years. Tamaki is caught off guard long enough to let me pass and head straight for my room. "Ok, I'm going to school tomorrow and I need to fix this suit enough so it'll fit me. Great I'll be up all night." I say in exasperation. I take out my scissors and thread and begin working on it.
