"I think we should change our outlook," Tamaki exclaimed, startling Haruhi out of working on homework. Haruhi sighed quietly; Tamaki didn't hear.

"You say this every time there's a lull in business," Haruhi reminded Tamaki. He began pacing frantically; even Haruhi felt on edge.

"You should let Tamaki wear himself out thinking of suggestions, Haruhi. It's rather...amusing," Kyoya said, curiously peering over the edge of his eyeglasses.

"Plus, it's always fun to listen to Tamaki's brainstorming," Hikaru said, smiling wryly.

"Eureka! I've got it!" Tamaki exclaimed. Haruhi felt a tinge of curiosity bloom.
