Chapter 1 Rose Seran

Rose was sitting on a pink couch in Music Room 3 in Ouran Academy. She had to join the host club in order to keep from wearing those hideous yellow dresses. She didn't think it would be too bad. Laney had survived, and Lynn, Amy, and Melinda were fairing just fine.

She and her friends were waiting for the rest of the host club to come in. She looked around to see what the other girls were doing.

Lynn was texting ferociously. Rose assumed she was texting her… "Amazingly hot, Asian, scene boyfriend"… He didn't attend school with them so Lynn texted him throughout the whole day.

Amy was reading a manga. Rose cocked her head to the side to read the spine. "Rurouni Kenshin." Never heard of it, Rose thought.

Melinda was listening to her iPhone and dancing like a drunk. Well, Rose thought, she's actually dancing really good.

"Melinda!" Lynn was trying to get her attention, but she kept dancing. Lynn balled up a piece of paper, threw it at Melinda, and yelled, "MELINDA!"

"WHAT?!" Melinda grabbed the paper and threw it back at Lynn.

"Are you practicing for Friday night?" Lynn made two other paper balls and attempted to juggle them.

"Yep!" Melinda replied and plopped down next to Rose. "Speaking of Friday night… Rose? Amy? You guys want to tag along?"

Amy and Rose both gave her baffled looks.

"What exactly are you guys doing?" Amy had a curious and skeptical look.

Lynn stood up, held up her index finger, and said, "Sexy Dance Party!"

Rose looked up at the incredibly strange but humorous girl. "I'm afraid to know what you mean by that…" Rose replied with a cautious voice.

Melinda spoke first. "We want to know if you two want to come clubbing with us."

Amy's eyes widened and she laughed. "Yeah right! Can you imagine me at a club?!"

Lynn looked at her. "You sure do like those dance games for the Wii…"

Amy gave Lynn a look of disgust. "That's different!"

Melinda broke in before Lynn could argue with Amy. "And we are not going to push you." She narrowed her eyes at Lynn like she was scolding a child. "So, what about you, Rose? Do you want to come?"

"I don't think so…" Rose cringed away from the "death-glare" Lynn was giving her.

Melinda gave her a pleading look. "Please! Lynn and I will help you dance to the beats and get you some clubbing outfits!"

Rose looked from Lynn's puppy dog look to Melinda's big, sad, innocent eyes. "Fine."

They both squealed with excitement and gave each other fist pumps.

A few seconds later, the rest of the host club flowed in through the pink double doors. They all stopped and stared at the three hostesses and hostess-to-be.

"How did you all get here so fast?" Tamaki looked from one girl to the other.

"I helped break them out of jail." Lynn gave the blonde a devilish smile.

"Oh. You couldn't have gotten the rest of us?"

"Yeah… I just didn't think about it…"

"Oh I see." Tamaki leaned closer to Kyoya. "We're not loved." Tamaki laughed lightly and spotted Rose. "Is this a new hostess?!"

"Yes, Tamaki, this is our new hostess." Melinda had taken the responsibility of breaking the ice for Rose. "Tamaki, you remember Rose from Laney's party. Rose you should remember him as well. He's our club president."

Rose smiled and was reintroduced to the rest of the host club. Kaoru was staring at Melinda the whole time he and Rose were talking. Hikaru acted like he wanted to kill every living thing within a ten mile radius. Haruhi was polite and a relief after Hikaru.

The last person Rose met was someone that she didn't get to meet at Laney's party. Kyoya Ootori. Rose felt a smile spread across her face, and she could've sworn she saw his eyes light up. She looked into his eyes and tried to decide what color they were.

At first they seemed black, but when the light caught them, they were a dark grey. His hair was messy but still looked fixed. Rose couldn't look away from him.

"Hello, Rose. I'm Kyoya Ootori."

Rose melted a little on the inside. "Hi," was all she could manage.

"Would you mind answering a few questions for me? I need to know what to list you as on our team." His voice was smooth and cool.

"Umm… No, I don't mind."
