OPENING THEME
Mori's Dream
Enter Music Room #3: Day
Haruhi enters the music room like any other day.
Like on any other day, the room is not full with guests; rather, it is a staging ground for the hosts to get ready before going to their actual destination for the day.
Unlike any other day, the only host waiting for Haruhi this time is Tamaki Suoh, a second year student.
And just like any other day, the Host Club King is waiting in the most ridiculous outfit.
However, the theme that the Host Club King has chosen is a most unusual one.
Haruhi approaches Tamaki, annoyed at his appearance.
Haruhi: Senpai, what the heck are you wearing?
Tamaki flips his hair with his hand before speaking, this movement also draws attention to his figure, as sparkles surround his body with a bubbly background.
Tamaki: What do you think, Haruhi? I've always wanted to dress like this, but have never had the chance until now!
Tamaki's feet are covered with golden shoes.
At the ankle, they are wrapped with a red cloth.
At the top of the shin lies a sole blue jewel.
He's wearing white, baggy martial arts pants.
On his waist he's wearing a large red cloth that goes down to the top of his knees in the front, and, in the back, the cloth goes down the pits of his knees.
Over the red cloth, at the center of the waste, he wears a golden plate with another blue jewel at the center.
On his wrists he wears golden braces, on his biceps he wears gold bands.
Finally, though he is shirtless, he wears a golden neck plate that comes down to his chest with one more blue jewel in the center.
He's also wearing a black hair wig that goes to the bottom of his shoulders.
Haruhi is less than impressed and more so annoyed.
Haruhi: (It's like he gets crazier every day.) Senpai, why would you want to dress like this? You look like a show off.
Tamaki: A show-off!? Haruhi, dear, I do not look like one of those horrid people who live for nothing but attention.
Haruhi: (As if you never wanted attention...)
Tamaki flashes a huge smile, stars of wonder in his eyes.
Tamaki: Obviously, I am dressed as Broly, the legendary Super Saiyan from the eighth Dragon Ball Z movie of the same name! He is by far my favorite character in the whole Dragon Ball franchise! He's a complex character with a desire for revenge against Goku, the main protagonist. However, he was forced by his father to be his puppet for conquest, and revenge against Prince Vegeta. In an unfortunate turn of events, Broly does battle with the Z Fighters and perishes at the hand of Son Goku. I don't quite know why, but I've always felt a special connection to this character. Whether it be his complicated and deep character, or his determined path of vengeance, he's always had a special place in my heart!
While Tamaki is almost brought the tears with his speech, Haruhi is giggling.
Haruhi: *In between giggles* Senpai, you still watch those kid shows?
The room goes dark and a spotlight shines over Tamaki Suoh.
He is standing on a soap box
The origin of the spotlight and the soap box are unknown.
Tamaki: Don't compare Dragon Ball Z to mere kid shows! DBZ is part of an elite class of shounen television! A higher tier of entertainment where dark and complex themes thrive! From Gohan's struggle to become the defender of earth, to the evil Frieza's desire for power, DBZ is among the best of storytelling history!
Haruhi: Senpai, get off your soap box. I'm just teasing you.
The lights turn on as the spotlight disappears.
Tamaki sheepishly gets off the soap box and pushes it away to someplace offscreen.
Haruhi has a smile on her face.
Haruhi: Everyone watches shows from their childhood. There's no need to convince other people why you watch them.
Tamaki blushes slightly.
Tamaki: R-really?
Haruhi: Of course.
Tamaki smiles.
A moment of silence is shared between the two before three out of five remaining hosts emerge from the dressing rooms.
They were taking their sweet time changing.
Mitsukuni Haninozuka (or Honey as he is known by his friends) runs and jumps up on Haruhi and hangs from her like a little kid.
Honey: Haru-chan, look at me! Don't I look adorable?
Haruhi observes her friend's appearance.
He's painted white all over with two red spots on his cheeks.
He wears a black cap with a furry red ball on the top.
He's dressed in a green feudal chinese robe with a large kanji placed on the center of his torso.
Red trimming runs all around the robe.
His sleeves are a dirty yellow with white cuffs.
His pants are black and baggy with the same dirty yellow color for the cuffs.
Objectively speaking, he does look pretty adorable.
Haruhi: Honey-senpai, who are you supposed to be?
Honey: Only the cutest character from Dragon Ball Z.
Honey jumps down and takes a martial arts pose.
Honey: I'm the martial art expert, Chiaotzu!
Haruhi stands speechless.
Before she can open her mouth, the twins approach her.
They are dressed in different outfits, a rare occasion.
Hikaru is dressed in yellow shoes with brown points and white bottoms.
He wears black baggy pants and a yellow belt with teal sections right before the silver belt buckle, which also has a red center.
He wears a black tank top and a blue jacket that seems much too short with the Capsule Corp logo placed on the left shoulder.
He also wears a sword on his back.
He also dyed his hair a light purple in a bowl-like haircut.
Kaoru is dressed in an orange gi with a blue long sleeve undershirt and a black martial arts belt that hangs off the side.
He wears black shoes with blue ankle wraps.
He's also wearing a black wig with a ridiculous hair style.
The two speak in unison.
Hitachiin Twins: Go ahead, Haruhi. Tell us who we are.
Haruhi: Guys, I never watched Dragon Ball Z.
The Hitachiin twins are shocked.
Hikaru: How!?
Kaoru: That's impossible!
Haruhi: No need to act so shocked.
The twins recompose themselves.
A mischievous grin adorns their faces.
They give each other a look and wink.
The twins begin to walk around Haruhi.
Hikaru: You don't know who we are.
Kaoru: And we aren't going to tell you.
Hikaru: You're going to have to guess who we are.
Kaoru: Or else...
Hitachiin Twins: You're going to have to watch a full saga of Dragon Ball Z.
Haruhi frowns.
Haruhi: What?
The Hitachiin twins lose the definition of personal space and move their faces too close to Haruhi's.
Hitachiin Twins: Filler included.
Tamaki catches wind of this and rushes to his "daughter's" defense by smacking the twins on the head.
Tamaki: How dare you! You can't make my little girl watch through that horrible filth!
Haruhi: Filth?
Tamaki: If she is to be forced to watch Dragon Ball Z then at least do it with the show's dignity intact!
Haruhi: Now, wait a minute, Senpai.
Tamaki: You will not only show her the Kai version of Dragon Ball Z-
Haruhi: Senpai...
Tamaki: But we will also watch it together as a family!
Haruhi: Senpai!
Haruhi's outburst catches Tamaki's attention.
Haruhi: Shouldn't I be able to decide if I watch the show or not?
Kyouya: Not necessarily.
Kyouya Ootori emerges from the dressing room.
He's dressed in a tight, purple morph suit with purple face paint, as well as red face paint running from the bottom of his eyes to the bottom of his cheeks.
He wears a white helmet with a very large rectangular jewel that's rounded off at the bottom, and a white chest plate that wraps around the back.
He wears white bracers and white shin guards.
He's also wearing a large fake tail.
He's not wearing his glasses.
Haruhi: Where are your glasses?
Kyouya: Amazing that's what you notice.
Haruhi: Honestly, this couldn't get much weirder.
Kyouya: Well, the character Cooler doesn't wear glasses so I had to switch to contacts for the day. It's an interesting feeling, I don't know how you stand it.
Haruhi: You'll forget they're there before long. Also, what's with these names?
Kyouya: The mangaka, Akira Toriyama, loved making unique names and drew inspiration from other cultures. Cooler's name comes from the United States, I believe.
Haruhi: How do you all know so much about this show?
Kyouya: I looked this up last night, I've never seen it myself.
Hitachiin Twins: What!?
Kyouya: That brings us back to our subject.
Kyouya instinctively reaches to put his glasses back into position, but realizes they aren't there.
He clears his throat in slight embarrassment while blushing a tad.
Kyouya: The Hitachiin twins' bet would make a good show for the ladies today. Also, the idea of us all watching the show together will probably be an enjoyable one for them.
Haruhi: Ugh, I don't like this idea...
Hitachiin Twins: Are you giving up before we even begin our game?
Haruhi: I didn't say that.
The group is interrupted by the final host leaving the dressing room.
Takashi Morinozuka (Mori) is dressed in a green gi.
The top only goes over his left shoulder, revealing most of his chest.
His pants are the same green with a red cloth belt.
He wears black shoes with white bottoms and yellow shins.
He wears green bracers with red trimmings on the edges.
Finally, he's wearing a fake eye on his forehead.
Haruhi: Tri-clops?
Hikaru: Tien Shinhan.
Haruhi: Of course.
Mori stands next to Honey.
Tamaki: Ok, Haruhi! Now it's your turn for a Dragon Ball Z transformation!
Haruhi: What? But I don't know any of these characters!
Kyouya: Don't worry, we have the perfect character for you.
Haruhi: W-what?
Kyouya snaps his fingers and the Hitachiin twins drag Haruhi to the dressing room, Kyouya follows.
After a while, the twins and Kyouya exit and rejoin Honey, Tamaki, and Mori.
The five hosts wait patiently.
Finally, Haruhi opens the curtains, revealing her outfit.
She is dressed in blue and white tennis shoes with green socks going up to her shins.
She wears light blue jeans and has a brown belt with a gold belt buckle.
She has a brown holster with a black pistol inside.
She wears a long sleeve undershirt with a black tee shirt.
On the left side of the chest is the logo for the Red Ribbon army.
The look is completed with an orange bandana wrapped around her neck with the iconic hair style.
She is the spitting image of Android 17.
Tamaki: Ok! Now that everyone's ready, let's not keep our guests waiting!
Haruhi: W-wait! Senpai! Who am I!?
The group leaves the room.
Exit Music Room #3
Enter Ouran High School Courtyard: Day
Everyone is doing there job and having fun.
On the way over, Tamaki explained Haruhi's character in great detail.
Haruhi thinks this is all silly but goes along with it anyway.
Haruhi is currently entertaining three guests.
Girl 1: You mean you've never seen the show?
Haruhi: Yeah, I was just never interested.
Haruhi rubs the back of her head in slight embarrassment.
Girl 2: So you don't even know your character?
Haruhi: Not personally, Tamaki-senpai filled me in, so I have an idea.
Girl 3: I had no idea Tamaki knew so much about Dragon Ball.
Girl 2: Who is he dressed as?
Haruhi: He's dressed as some guy named Broly.
Girl 1 giggles.
Girl 1: Broly? That's a silly name!
Haruhi: Yeah, apparently it was based off the english word for broccoli.
The four share in sweet laughter, as we pan over to another group.
The twins are up to their old tricks with a group of ladies.
Hitachiin Twins: FU-SION-HA!
The twins complete the fusion dance and the group of girls in front of them applaud them for their showmanship.
Girl 1: Oh, that was wonderful!
Girl 2: They're the spitting image of their characters!
Of course, they really were not but at least the guests were entertained.
Kaoru: Hey, "Trunks"! Wanna have a quick fight?
Hikaru: Sure, "Goten"!
The two begin to have a fake battle.
Hikaru fakes a punch that Kaoru ducks under.
Kaoru then uses a light real punch to hit Hikaru in the gut.
Hikaru pretends to be winded and falls backwards.
Kaoru: Hikaru!
Kaoru rushes to catch Hikaru and succeeds.
Kaoru brings Hikaru close to him.
Kaoru: Hikaru... I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to punch you that hard.
Hikaru pretends to gasp for breath and speaks weakly.
Hikaru: It's okay, I'm fine... Really...
Kaoru grasps his brother in his arms.
Kaoru: Don't talk, Hikaru. Just catch your breath.
This routine brings the group of ladies to tears.
Girl 4: So loving!
Girl 3: So caring!
Girl 5: Oh, it's so beautiful!
The ladies squeal in unison, piercing any ears within five meters.
We now pan over to Kyouya.
He is entertaining only two guests.
Girl 1: How did you come up with this idea?
Girl 2: It's pretty strange.
Kyouya: It was actually Tamaki's idea.
Girl 2: Really?
Kyouya: Yes. Apparently a new Dragon Ball Z video game is releasing this Fall. Tamaki was so excited that he wanted to share his excitement with our guests.
Girl 1: Aww, he cares so much.
Kyouya goes to push up his glasses out of habit.
When he touches nothing but air, he blushes slightly and clears his throat.
Kyouya: Yes, it appears he does.
The girls giggle at Kyouya.
We now pan over to Honey and Mori.
They are entertaining several guests as well.
Mori is looking stoic as ever, while Honey eats some cake with the guests.
Girl 3: Honey, you're so adorable with that face paint!
Honey: Thank you!
Girl 2: And Mori looks so cool with that third eye and green gi! He looks like a true martial artist!
Girl 4: But- isn't Tien supposed to be bald?
Honey: Yeah, but we couldn't find a good bald cap in time. Tama-chan came up with this idea yesterday, ha ha!
Girl 1: I think you both look fantastic!
Girl 3: Could you do some martial art poses for us?
Honey: Sure! Just let me finish this last bite.
Honey eats the last bite (half a cake slice), and takes a spot next to Mori.
The two begin posing to the guests' delight.
We now pan over to Tamaki Suoh, who is entertaining one guest in the gazebo.
The lady is blushing as Tamaki says sweet things to her.
Tamaki: You know, being with you makes me forget all about Kakarot.
Tamaki is completely absorbed in his (idea of the) character.
Girl: Oh, Broly, that mean old Kakarot can't find you here.
The lady is also absorbed in the act.
Tamaki: However, if he were to appear, my dear, I would ask that you find shelter and look away. I don't want you to see me in my Legendary Super Saiyan form.
Girl: But why, Broly?
Tamaki: Because... I become a monster in that form, and I wouldn't want that monster to see you, for I am capable of killing my own father in that form.
Girl: Is that what happened to him?
Tamaki is brought to real tears, thinking about his favorite character.
Tamaki: Yes... Unfortunately, that is what happened.
Girl: Oh, Broly! Don't cry! I'm sorry I brought up your father!
Tamaki: It's okay, my lady. As long as you are here, everything is okay.
Girl: Oh, my dear Broly...
We pan over to see a mysterious figure entering the courtyard.
He's dressed in a grey tee shirt with a black, long sleeve undershirt.
He wears black pants and a red belt.
He also wears white shoes.
His hair is black, and is styled handsomely.
He has violet eyes and white skin.
He looks to be no older than seventeen.
His build is very similar to Mori and is somehow more intimidating.
He has a sharp face with piercing eyes.
His gaze scans the whole courtyard, obviously looking for something or someone.
Haruhi notices him.
Haruhi: Please excuse me, ladies.
Haruhi politely gets up and approaches the man.
She greets him with a smile.
Haruhi: Can I help you?
The man looks at Haruhi.
?: Yes, I think you can.
Haruhi is a bit shocked at the man's voice. It's soft and sweet, it reminds her of Tamaki.
?: I'm looking for a man named Takashi Morinozuka. I heard he'd be here.
Haruhi: Oh, you're a guest. I'll go tell him.
Haruhi turns around and walks towards Mori.
?: W-wait! I'm not a guest!
Haruhi comes back with Mori.
Haruhi: Enjoy yourselves!
Haruhi walks away, leaving an embarrassed man and a confused Mori.
Mori is glaring at the man.
The man gets over his embarrassment and looks Mori in the eye.
?: It's been awhile, Shi-Shi. How've you been?
Mori: What are you doing here?
The man sighs.
?: Straight to the point, huh? Are you still mad at me, Shi-Shi?
Mori continues to glare.
?: Yep. Still mad.
Panning over, Kyouya approaches Haruhi.
Kyouya: Someone requested Mori?
Haruhi: Yeah, kinda weird that he was requested without Honey-senpai.
Kyouya: Speaking of whom, where is Honey-senpai?
Haruhi: He's still entertaining his guests.
The Hitachiin Twins appear out of nowhere and join Haruhi and Kyouya.
Hitachiin Twins: So, Haruhi,
Haruhi sighs.
Hitachiin Twins: what's your first guess? The guests are anxiously waiting to see if you can guess who we are.
Haruhi looks at the twins and then at the guests and back to the twins.
Haruhi: Uh...
She points at Kaoru.
Haruhi: You're Goku.
Kaoru makes a buzzer noise while making an "x" with his arms.
Haruhi: Um... Son Goku?
The guests giggle at Haruhi's naive guess.
Kaoru: Wrong again!
Hikaru: You know they're the same person, right?
Haruhi is really annoyed.
Hikaru: You attempted, and failed, to guess Kaoru. How about me? Who am I?
Haruhi takes a moment to think.
Haruhi: Hmm... a try hard?
Tamaki: How dare you insult Tru-
Tamaki covers his mouth before he reveals Hikaru's identity.
From where he came from, no one knows, but he did leave his guest all alone.
Haruhi adorns a sly smile.
Haruhi: Who, Senpai?
Tamaki resists to tell her.
Tamaki: N-no one! No one at all!
Hikaru: Boss, you almost gave me away!
Haruhi: You almost saved me from watching that stupid show...
Tamaki: Haruhi! You said it wasn't dumb to watch children's shows!
Haruhi: It is, but that doesn't change my opinion!
The two continue arguing while the guests attention is drawn to Mori and the mysterious man.
Mori: What do you want?
?: I came here to try and settle this grudge of yours.
Mori: Hmph.
?: Obviously, I'm not doing a good job. Look, I made a mistake, I know that, but that doesn't mean you have to keep blaming me for what happened.
Mori: Tell me, do you expect me to forgive you?
?: Well, yes.
Mori: You'll be leaving disappointed.
Mori stands up to leave.
The mysterious man stands up at the same time and grabs Mori by the arm.
?: Shi-Shi! Come on! What am I doing wrong?
Mori grabs the man by the arm and throws him over his shoulder.
The man lands on his feet and left hand.
The guests gasp in unison.
?: That's how you want it, huh.
Honey joins the rest of the Host Club.
Honey: Hi! Have any of you seen Takashi? He left a while ago and I can't find him.
Honey notices that his friends are looking in a direction concerned.
Honey: Huh, what're you all looking at?
He looks in that direction.
Both Mori and the man are locked in combat.
Honey: W-why is Takashi fighting!?
Mori throws a rapid flurry of punches that the man narrowly avoids.
The man responds with a flurry of his own.
Mori blocks each punch with swift speed.
Haruhi: I don't know! They were just talking and now they're fighting!
Haruhi turns to Tamaki.
Haruhi: Senpai! Do something!
Tamaki is watching the battle intensely.
He pays attention in particular to the outfits that they are wearing.
Tamaki: B-Black Goku and Tien? Fighting?
Haruhi frowns and her eyebrow twitches.
Haruhi: That's what you're paying attention to?
The man attacks with a low kick, attempting to trip Mori.
Mori jumps over the man and throws a chopping attack at his neck.
He stops just before hitting and stands in that position.
?: So, that's how it gonna be then.
Mori: Tomorrow after school at the Haninozuka dojo.
?: I won't accept unless you make it a formal challenge.
Mori grunts and stands upright.
The man turns to face him.
Mori: I, Takashi Morinozuka, challenge you, Sokei Harimuya, to a duel.
Sokei: What are the conditions of victory?
Mori: If I win, you leave my life.
Sokei: And if I win, you forgive me.
Mori: Fine.
Sokei: Takashi Morinozuka, I accept your challenge.
Mori heads for the courtyard exit without another word.
Sokei turns to exit as well.
Tamaki: Hold it right there!
Sokei turns towards the source of the shout.
Tamaki: Nobody leaves until we know what's going on.
Mori ignores Tamaki and leaves anyway.
Honey: I'll go talk to Takashi.
Honey follows after Mori
Honey: Takashi! Wait up!
They disappear.
Tamaki looks at Sokei.
Tamaki: You're not gonna ignore me and leave?
Sokei shrugs.
Sokei: You want to know what's going on. I got nothing else to do, so why not?
A-PART END
