Author's Notes: It's midnight. I can't sleep. Hm…I want some ice cream.

Summary: It's amazing how wearing something as simple as a skirt can bring two people together in the oddest sort of way.
The Skirt
Alyssa in Wonderland Chapter One: She Wore a Skirt
"I have this feeling that I'm going to meet someone really amazing sometime soon, I think this may be the universe's way of telling me to wear a mini skirt EVERYWHERE!"

It was another day with the members of Ouran High School's Host Club. The next semester was just around the corner, actually, it was tomorrow, but the president of the club arranged an emergency "meeting" at the beach in Okinawa. Haruhi Fujioka sighed inwardly—she was always suckered into these excursions.
The sand between her toes felt warm as she looked ahead. Mori had Honey on his shoulders wading in the sea. The twins, Kaoru and Hikaru, were trying to make Mori crack a smile by splashing water at the stoic man. Kyouya, on the other hand, was sitting under a huge umbrella's shade with his laptop. He pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and smiled at the scene then started working again on his computer.
Haruhi walked over to Kyouya and sat down beside him. Kyouya didn't look up from his work, "Where's Tamaki?" He asked. It was freakishly weird that the obnoxious president of the club wasn't any where near Haruhi, no wonder it was so quiet.
"Probably still flirting with those girls near the ice cream stand." Haruhi replied rather quickly.
Kyouya looked at Haruhi from the corner of his eye. Did she know that she was scowling? Kyouya grinned and closed his laptop. As if by pure coincidence, Tamaki came with Popsicles in hand followed by a legion of girls.
"Speak of the devil." Kyouya said pointing at Tamaki.
Haruhi looked towards the direction Kyouya was pointing to, and no doubt, there was Tamaki surrounded with cute girls wearing bikinis. Haruhi, automatically looked down at what she was wearing. A baggy shirt with baggy board shorts. She looked back up and saw Tamaki whisper something to a brunette, the girl giggled as she blushed.
"Ah…they should be paying up for the time they're spending with Tamaki." Kyouya said.
"Say, Kyouya," Haruhi started, "Do you think the whole school would be in shock if I came to school wearing a skirt?"
That completely caught Kyouya off guard.
"Well…yes, I mean, you are part of the Host Club, where men host—" Kyouya looked at Haruhi, who was still looking at Tamaki and the girls. That was interesting. Kyouya thought to himself. His answer to Haruhi's question would definitely be the result of whatever events that will unfold later. Life was quiet lately and it was time for some entertainment. So what the hell?
"Then again, aren't you tired of being treated as a guy?" He asked.
Tamaki waved goodbye to the girls that had followed him and saw Haruhi, "Haruhi! I was looking all over you! Where did you go?" He called out.
Haruhi turned towards Kyouya, "Thank you, Kyouya." She replied and got up, "I think I'll join Hikaru and Kaoru out there."
Kyouya nodded towards her. As soon as Haruhi had left, Tamaki approached, the Popsicles melting in his hands. "Why didn't Haruhi wait for me? I had her ice cream right here." He said.
"Which is now getting on my laptop…" Kyouya noted as he grabbed his latest laptop away from the evil stickiness of the ice pop.
"Kyouya, is Haruhi okay? She suddenly disappeared when we went to go get these commoner's ice cream." Tamaki continued.
"She's fine, I think she's planning a surprise for everyone." Kyouya replied, knowing full well that Tamaki would immediately be excited.
"A surprise? What is it? What is it? Tell me! What is it, Kyouya? What surprise did Haruhi plan that she couldn't tell her loving father?" Tamaki asked with big eyes.
"All in good time, Tamaki, all in good time." Kyouya replied.
Tamaki pouted at Kyouya. Haruhi had a surprise? What was it? What was it? What could it be? What…
The next day…"WHAT?!" Tamaki exclaimed. If it was possible, his mouth had dropped all the way down on the floor and his eyes had bulged out. In the middle of the hallway stood someone who looked exactly like his Haruhi. Except…this Haruhi wore a skirt.
Author's Notes: What do you think? I have the second chapter ready to be uploaded…has anyone heard "Guilty Beauty Love"? I'm listening to it right now…ah Tamaki's voice is amazing in it! Ah, and the quote above, my best friend actually said that. I thought it was hilarious, so that's for her!
