A/N: I have edited this chapter and added a few bits and pieces but nothing too major.

"Fujioka-kun?"

This certain day at Ouran High School, a head kept on popping in and out of classroom doors. Students who noticed this person passing by would tell you about the person's one-sided bangs peeking underneath from the newsboy hat. The person wore a mint-colored sweater and pants. Enough about the outfit. You see, this person was looking for a student. A scholar.

Yes, this person was looking for Haruhi Fujioka.

Host Club,

"Come on Haruhi! You'll like maple syrup!" Hikaru told her as he chased the girl all over the room, he carried a bottle of maple syrup as he went. "Don't you like maple syrup? Everyone likes maple syrup!"

Haruhi clasped her lunchbox tightly, "I'm not putting maple syrup in my lunch!" And then she dived away when Hikaru leapt towards her.

Tamaki tried stopping Hikaru but the older twin was too fast. "As the Host Club King, I order you to stop pestering Haruhi about putting that ridiculous maple syrup in her lunch! Not everyone likes them!"

"Milord, you can never have too many maple syrup." Kaoru reasoned out as Hunni and Mori watched beside him. The twins can never really get why people don't like maple syrup. But then again, that's what made them different.

"What is it with you evil dopplegangers and maple syrup?" Tamaki wailed frustratedly, pausing by a table and catching his breath.

Hunni-senpai looks up at Mori, "Can you put icing in lunch too?" His eyes were glittering and were as big as saucers.

"Yeah." Mori answered out of his fear of making Hunni-senpai cry.

Suddenly, Kyouya enters the room, laptop in one hand and the person from this morning in the other. The person frowned pointedly at the Shadow King but Kyouya paid no mind to it. Everyone in the room stops and turns to see what was wrong.

"Haruhi." Kyouya muttered, still holding unto the person's collar.

The guest looked pleased when Haruhi walked forward to look. "Ayu-kun!" Haruhi forgets all about her lunch and stares at Ayu-kun.

The guest's huge black eyes glittered then struggled away from Kyouya to embrace the female Host. "How are you Fujioka-kun?" The person asked, seperating from Haruhi. The twins glared at the guest who got to hug Haruhi for the first time they see each other when they couldn't even do that. Tamaki raised an eyebrow, still watching the two.

When they parted their embrace, the twins, out of impulse, suddenly plunged in and tackled their guest.

"Kaoru! Hikaru!" Haruhi shouted, trying to get the twins of her friend.

"What do you think you're doing?" The guest screamed, and this time they realized. It was unmistakable really. Their guest was a girl. The twins sat up and saw the guest's hat from afar. Hikaru and Kaoru's eyes went towards the one they had pinned to the floor and frowned at their mistake.

"Are you okay, Ayu-kun?" Haruhi crouches down by the girl, helping her up when the twins finally moved away from her. Whn they were back on their feet, Haruhi sent the twins a glare. Enough to liquify their kidneys.

Kyouya shifted his glasses and uncovered a rare smile from his usually stoic face, "Ah, Miss Ayumi Hara." He offers his hand to the girl before continuing, "The Chairman told me all about you. You're the only daughter of a famous candy artisan, Kiyoshi Hara."

The girl takes it and nodded before smoothing out her untamed black hair. Ayumi stood before them, a smile on her face. Her hair, finally free from the hat, was unruly and dark. She tried to tame it down but failed.

Tamaki, now looking relieved, rushes and flips his hair. "And what does this princess need?"

Ayumi stares at Tamaki and takes her hat from Haruhi.

"Ayu-chan! Ayu-chan! Do you like to eat cake too?" Hunni-senpai came towards her, hugging Usa-chan. Having to realize that this girl must have been brought up with a background of sweets, he took his chance. Ayumi looked down on Hunni-senpai and crouches down.

"Of course I do." She smiled, as if it was a very casual thing to ask a stranger.

Later,

"So you entered Ouran instead of St. Robelia's in search of Haruhi?" Tamaki looked at the girl eagerly. The Host Club, except for the twins, seemed so interested in finding out why she was here. And decided to ask her while having tea. They all looked at the girl, who was looking at her cup. "How beautiful! What an heroic love story!"

The girl glared at Tamaki, "What are you saying? I merely said that I knew that Haruhi was here and I was looking for her."

"Haru-chan?" Hunni-senpai looked at Haruhi.

The latter answered, "Yes, Hunni-senpai?"

"Are you two bestfriends?" He asked, still clutching Usa-chan.

Haruhi thought for a moment, then raised an eyebrow at the question, "Why?"

"You like playing dress-ups." He answered, his large eyes wandering over to Ayumi's clothes and then back to her. Nearly the whole club laughed, Hunni-senpai's comment made Kyouya smile a bit.

Ayumi stood up, "Well, I should be going now. My father must have finished talking with the chairman by this time-"

"Wait! Wait Ayu-chan!" Hunni-senpai leaps up to her and hugs her tightly. "Why don't you stay for awhile?" The senior felt like he had finally met someone who he can share his strangely obsessive penchant and he wasn't very enthusiastic in letting her go.

She laughed softly and gave him a hug back. By the way Ayumi carried Hunni-senpai, you'd think she was his older sister.

"You must be Haninodozuka Mitsukuni?" Ayumi asked. She knew him of course. The sweets business looks up to the senior for his excellent taste. The little boy nodded, "It's very nice to meet you."

"I'm Tamaki Suou, my dear lady." Tamaki stood up, bowing courteously when he realized he hasn't even introduced himself.

Kyouya didn't bother standing up, he merely looked up from his laptop, "Kyouya Ootori." And then the typing continued.

"Kaoru." One of the twins said.

"Hikaru." The other muttered.

"Hitachiin." They chorused.

"And he's Takashi. Morinodozuka Takashi." Hunni-senpai introduced to Ayumi, pointing at the tallest Host in the room who nodded politely at her direction.

"And this is?" Ayumi looked down on the pink stuffed rabbit that Hunni was holding.

"Usa-chan." Hunni introduced, "Usa-chan likes you." And that made Ayumi's cheeks go pink.

This will be a start of something again. Almost all of the boys in the Club thought. And somehow they knew they were right.
