SUCCESS! Ahem, sorry. I just got the GREATEST idea for an OHSHC fanfic. I've been waiting a few weeks to get a chance to write it, and now I've got it! YAY! Ahem, sorry...again.

Chapter 1

"You can't be serious, senpai..." Haruhi said.

"Haruhi? Are you mad?" Tamaki replied, cocking his head to the side. "I thought you liked Kano. You told me she was nice."

"I didn't mean you should go DATE her!" Haruhi was flustered. She ran out of the music room and tried to get lost in the crowd of girls waiting to get into the host club. She bumped into Kano, who looked at her with a funny look.

"Haruhi? What're you doing?" Kano asked.

"N-nothing, just leaving..." Haruhi booked down the hall. She turned back to make sure no one was following her, and in the few seconds that she turned around, she managed to run right into the twins.

Haruhi woke up, panting and sweating with tears streaming down her face. She'd been having the same nightmare for the past two weeks. Someone was knocking at the door. "Haru-channnn!" whined a young Hunny-senpai from outside the door.

Haruhi rubbed her eyes, trying to lose the sight of sleepiness. She opened the door, forgetting she was only wearing a thin tank top and a pair of shorts. "Hunny-senpai, what brings you here?" Haruhi asked.

"Tama-chan told me to come get you. He said it's really important," Hunny was practically bouncing. "I think he wants to tell you something!"

"Why would he want to tell me something?" Haruhi asked in a blunt voice. Hunny sighed.

"Just come with me, Haru-chan. Get dressed first though, okay? I'll be waiting here." Haruhi looked down and her cheeks turned pink. She bolted up the steps while Hunny sat down on the couch.

Five minutes later Haruhi descended the staircase wearing a yellow sundress and sandals. Hunny stood up and held out his arm. She took it and they walked out the door and into Hunny's limousine. "Damn rich bastards..." Haruhi thought as a man in a black suit opened the door for Hunny and her. "So, um, where are we going, anyways?" Haruhi asked.

"Tama-chan gave all of our limousine drivers directions, so I don't know," Hunny replied. "Do you want some cake, Haru-chan?"

"No thanks, I'm good, Hunny-senpai."

"Do you wanna hold Usa-chan then? You look kinda sad. What's the matter?"

"Nothing, senpai! Trust me, it's nothing," Haruhi smiled at the little boy.

"Okay..."

The car stopped smoothly. Haruhi looked out the window and saw a beautiful beach. She hated beaches, ever since that one day... "Why did he take us here?" Haruhi wondered aloud.

"I don't know, Haru-chan, but it sure is pretty! Ha ha," Hunny chuckled as he ran down the rock-steps. Haruhi followed a couple steps behind him, seeing the rest of the hosts under a pavilion up ahead.

"I'm not ready for this!" Tamaki said nervously.

"You'll do fine, boss," the Hitachiin twins replied in unison. "Look, here she comes now."

"I think I'm gonna be sick..." Tamaki's face looked pale.

"Daddy, calm down and man up," Kyoya suddenly spoke, adjusting his glasses. "This won't be that hard. I thought you said you were excited."

"Excited as in HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO ASK HARUHI TO TRAVEL WITH ME?!" Tamaki yelled.

"T-tamaki?" Haruhi asked. She put a hand on his shoulder. "You okay?"

"Oh, Haruhi! Daughter! Daddy's just having a bit of trouble with his nerves lately-"

"Cut the act, senpai. What were you talking about?"

"Oh, that? Are you sure you want to know?"

"It involves me, so yes, senpai."

"Well, um, um..." Tamaki started fiddling with his hands.

"Haru-channnnn!" Hunny yelled as he came in the pavilion and jumped on Haruhi's back. "Look what I found!"

"That's a very pretty crab, Hunny, but you should probably put it back," Haruhi replied calmly.

"Let's build it a sandcastle to live in! Come on, Haru-chan!" Hunny grabbed Haruhi's wrist, and with that, Tamaki's announcement would have to wait another two hours.

Haruhi sat on one of the stone steps, gazing at the sky with a worried look on her face. The gray clouds above were getting darker and rain was getting heavier. The rest of the hosts were down in the pavilion playing a board game. Figures, Haruhi thought. Why would they want a commoner ruining their fun?

"Haruhi? Is there room for another?" Kyoya asked. He was holding two plates of food.

"Sure, Kyoya-senpai," Haruhi replied. He sat on the step and placed a plate of giant tuna in Haruhi's lap. "It seems like everyone is having fun down there without me."

"No, they're just beating Tamaki up."

"What?! Why?!" Haruhi stood up.

"Just kidding, Haruhi. That proves it, I guess." Kyoya shoved a piece of octopus into his mouth.

"Proves what, senpai?"

After he swallowed, he began, "You're smart with your thoughts. Not many people are."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Some people are smart with their words. They can talk the talk, but they really don't know how to fend for themselves in the big picture. This you can probably picture Tamaki as. Always charming the ladies, but when it comes to someone like you, he's at a loss for words. I hope you know he loves you, Haruhi. If he ever mans up enough to say it to you himself, I'll be impressed. You'd be surprised how much growing up that boy needs to do, I swear...

"Then there are people like you, Haruhi. Smart with thoughts. Almost as soon as the words were out of my mouth, you thought about helping Tamaki. You could decode a message in a heartbeat if you really needed to. That's why I envy you, Haruhi. You have that ability."

"I don't think I'm that amazing, senpai. But I appreciate your kind words." Haruhi stood up. "I think I'm gonna go see what they're up to. Would you like to come?"

"Nah, I'll stay here. Did you ever notice when 'mommy' is around Tamaki seems a bit more tense and lacking in words?"

"No, I didn't. I guess I should look for that." Haruhi chuckled. She started down the stairs and onto the beach. She reached for the doorknob to enter the pavilion and the sound of thunder scared her right into Tamaki's arms.

Alright that was pretty cheesy. I hope you enjoyed chapter 1! More chapters soon to come!
