With a bright smile, Tamaki glided through the halls of Ouran. He just finished making the most perfect get away plans for the Host Club! It was the last day of school, and after today, Mitsukuni and Takashi were high school graduates! He wanted to do something that would be a last outing to remember and he came up with the perfect thing!

A week-long trip to a spa! He wanted one that was out of the way but not overly fancy, since he was going to take Haruhi as well as her dad. He wanted a commoners spa. And he found the best of the best of the commoners. It was owned by a large and middle class family called the Sohma's. But it was large, and beautiful and family owned and ran.

It would be a perfect atmosphere to just get away and relax and enjoy each other's company as they also celebrate the graduation of two of their Host Club Members. Going in his classroom he smiled as he waved at Kyoya. "Hey Kyoya. I have been thinking and we need to go on a trip."

"A trip? Where at? The last time you planned a trip for Spring Vacation to take Haruhi to France to meet your mother, she freaked out on the plan and we had to knock her out." Kyoya just gave him his classic emotionless look.

Laughing as he dropped his head, Tamaki put his hand on the back of his head. "Yeah I know that. But this is a domestic trip. I wanted to go to take everyone in the Host Club to a spa."

Blinking then smiling, Kyoya looked down as he crossed his arms. "That actually sounds nice."

Holding his hand up, Tamaki smiled a big smile. "But Kyoya we are not going to go to a rich spa. I want it to be a place that we can learn from, but Haruhi can feel at home in. As well as her father. So I did some research on my own and found the best of the best spa that is family owned and run by a large middle class family."

Giving him an odd look, Kyoya wasn't so sure about going this time. Finally he sighed as he narrowed his eyes. "And where exactly is it that we are going Tamaki?"

"The spa is actually really large with a lake and outdoor baths. It is owned by the Sohma family. I called them on the way to school this morning and booked the whole week next week just for us." Giving him another bright smile as he nodded his head, Tamaki then threw his hands in the air. "That's right. This is going to be a trip to remember! It is our last trip as a Host Club with Honey and Mori. It is going to be a blast!"

"I agree we need to do something to celebrate Honey and Mori graduating. But Tamaki why does it have to be next week." Fixing his glasses, Kyoya sighed as he crossed his arms again. "We have a whole month."

His eyes half closing, Tamaki sat down and sighed as he relaxed. "Well, Ouran University is on the other side of the city. We won't get to see them as much, and that is a year round school. We only have the one week to do anything with them before they start college. I want to have at least one last trip with them. And Honey especially loves to visit commoner places so this would be perfect."

Smiling Kyoya now understood. "I see then. Well I am on board. However, after the fiasco with the trip to France, you are going to go and formally invite Ryoji to go with us aren't you?"

Shivering as he remembered what Ryoji's reaction was to what they had to do to Haruhi on the plane ride to France and home last year, Tamaki started to nod his head as fast as he could. "Of course I am." Smiling as he stopped, Tamaki winked at Kyoya. "I am actually going to do that when I take Haruhi home after school today."

Fixing his glasses again, Kyoya sighed as he shook his head. "That's good."

"What?"

Nodding Tamaki smiled as he pulled a map down on the wall. "It is right here. It is out of the way and beautiful. Even Kyoya did his research on it after I told him about it this morning. Didn't you Kyoya?"

Nodding as he fixed his glasses Kyoya closed his eyes. "Indeed. While they have a very young head of the family, they are a prominent second class family in their own right. Several are successful business owners. But the spa gets gracious reviews even from some first class."

His eyes extra wide, Mitsukuni looked up at Tamaki as he nearly started to cry. "So you mean it? This is to celebrate with us? Really? We are really going?"

"That's right. We leave first thing Monday morning and we stay up through Sunday." Smiling as Mitsukuni started jumping around laughing and hanging off of Takashi, Tamaki just shook his head as he smiled. He wanted them to enjoy this most of all.

Turning to everyone else he threw one of his hands in the air. "Everyone ready!" When everyone threw their hands in the air and said yes together, Tamaki nodded as he smiled and put his arm around Haruhi. Looking down at her with a smile, Tamaki sighed. "And so that you can go with us Haruhi, I am going to go in today when I take you home and invite your dad to come with us. Do you think he will want to come?"

"I think he will go there. He said he loved going to the spa with mom when she would go before she got pregnant." Haruhi couldn't help but smile as she looked up at him. She didn't know what it was, but she really did fall in love with the big goof. But then remembering the trip to France, she dropped her head with a sigh. "Especially since dad was not happy with the fact you guys had to knock me out on the plane. I have no clue why I just freaked out like that."

Laughing, Hikaru and Kaoru pulled eyes to themselves as they looked at each other. Hikaru winked as he crossed his arms. "This sounds like fun. We love learning about the commoner world and just imagine all the ladies that are going to be there."

Nodding, Kaoru smiled as he agreed. "Yeah I can't wait."

Glaring, Tamaki moved away from Harhui as he rushed to the twins and grabbed their collars. "I don't think so! We are going there to celebrate Honey and Mori graduating this year. I rented out the entire spa. No one else will be there but us. If there are any women there they work there and you are to leave them alone!"

Both sets of amber eyes glaring, Hikaru and Kaoru glared with Tamaki for a moment. When he didn't budge, they both crossed their arms as they turned their head away from him. "Fine."

Turning back to Haruhi he took her hand with a smile. "Now that is out of the way. Let us go and invite your father."

Walking with him, Haruhi smiled. "Right."

Stopping at the door, Tamaki turned to look at everyone else. "We leave at dawn from my estate Monday morning. I will see everyone then." Once out in the hall, Tamaki sighed as he looked down at Haruhi with a smile. "If your dad agrees to go, I would like to have the two of you come and stay at my estate the night before. Do you think he would have a problem with that?"

Shaking her head with a laugh, Haruhi closed her eye with a smile. "Dad will just be happy to go to a spa. I am sure he wouldn't care."

Walking in her apartment, Haruhi smiled as she slipped her shoes off. "Dad I'm home! Tamaki is with me!"

Laughing as he looked up when they walked in, Ryoji was in full drag at the moment. Winking at them, he smiled. "Welcome home Haruhi. Did you both enjoy your last day of school?"

"Yes sir we did." Smiling as he gave a gracious bow, Tamaki sighed. "However I have something that I want to ask you." Tamaki stayed in his bow. Ryoji was quite upset when he found out what they had to do with Haruhi on the way to and from France. He got the brunt of his rage. He wasn't doing that again.

Crossing his arms, Ryoji sighed. "Well what is that boy? Come on out with it."

Keeping his bow, Tamaki sighed. "In respect to your wishes after the last trip I wanted to do didn't go so well for Haruhi. I am here to formally invite you to the Sohma Family Hot Spring Spa with us next week. We leave on Monday, and come home on Sunday. As a way to celebrate the graduation of Mitsukuni and Takashi. We will be there for the week."

Crossing his arms, Ryoji sighed as he gave him an emotionless look. This kid was just too easy to mess with. Feeling the glare from his daughter, Ryoji finally smiled. "I am glad that you remembered and actually invited me yourself like I asked you to do. We will go. However, just so you know. I will be Ranka while I am there." He then leaned toward Tamaki. "You really don't have a problem with that now do you?"

Flinching at his question, Haruhi just stood there, waiting to see what Tamaki was going to say. It wasn't that he had a problem with her dad, but that he just wasn't used to being around a man that dresses like a woman one day, and a man the next. But depending on how he answered that question would depend on what her father did next.

Shaking his head as he stood up, Tamaki laughed as he smiled big. Though inside he was screaming not to do it at the top of his lungs. He respected Haruhi's dad, but he just wasn't sure if he would ever get used to him dressing like a woman and going by Ranka. "I do not have a problem with that at all. Ranka or Ryoji. Either way it goes you are the father of the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with. I don't care who you go as so long as you come with us. I want to leave early on Monday. Instead of you having to get up extra early and coming to my estate that morning, I would like to have rooms made up for you and Haruhi to come and stay at my estate Sunday night. If you would?"

Going back to his usual goofy self, Ryoji smiled as he turned and skipped off toward his room. Stopping by Haruhi as he patted her head. "I will go and get some bags packed now so I don't have to worry about it over the weekend. Isn't this fun Haruhi. Daddy is going with you to the spa!" Then went on to his room.

Smiling Haruhi shook her head and then turned to see Tamaki with his head down and on his hands and knees. Going to him she smiled as she stood in front of him. "You know Tamaki. That really means a lot to him and me ya know."

"I am glad that it means that much to you. I just haven't quite had enough time to really get used to seeing him as Ranka. I don't know anyone else like him. Part of that may be fear of what others may or may not do to them." Standing he smiled as he reached out and pulled Haruhi to him around her waist. "Though I do have to say that I admire him and respect him for being able to go out as Ranka and be open about it. It can't be an easy thing to do with how judgmental people can be in this world and yet he does it anyway."

"I know." Smiling Haruhi let her hands rest on his chest as her head fell to the side. "Just give t more time. You will get used to it. But it does really mean a lot to both us that you accept dad for who he is Tamaki."

Leaning down and kissing her nose, Tamaki smiled as he cupped her face. "I don't care who he is, how he dresses or what he does. All I know is that he had part in creating the heavenly being that is in my arms. And for that I will claim him and defend him to the fullest against anyone. Even my own father."

Having turned around, Ryoji smiled as he stood just outside the door of the living room as he listened. Smiling he turned and walked down the hall to his room as he reached up and pulled his wig off. He knew that Haruhi was just like her mother and didn't care if he dressed as a man or woman. He was her dad either way it went. He had to say that he was pleased with the conversation that he heard between Tamaki and Haruhi. He didn't expect him to be as comfortable with Ranka as Haruhi was, but it was good that he didn't run him down because of it.

Looking down at his red wig, Ryoji smiled as he sighed. 'At least he does respect her family enough to not only accept me and my ways that are social taboos to be with her right Kotoko? Just to call him on it, I think that I am going to go as Ranka and then turn to Ryoji at some point. After all Kotoko. I promised you that for certain things, I would be her dad didn't I?'

Looking back at the door when he heard her laughing with Tamaki, Ryoji sat his wig down on the dresser then turned to the picture of Kotoko holding Haruhi the day she was born he had beside the bed. Lifting it he smiled. 'And Kotoko, I think that you may just get to see your daughter wearing your wedding dress in the next couple of years if things keep going like this.'
