It has been several months since Haruhi got Tamaki not to leave. She is also still part of the host club even though her debt is fully paid off.
"Hey Honey-senpai, are we really doing a jungle theme?" asked Haruhi as she and Honey walked to the music room.
"Tamaki wanted to do it," Honey. When they stepped into the music room, the first thing they noticed was that it had been transformed with real trees and a running river.
"How did Kyoya do this?" asked a surprised Haruhi.
"I have my ways," said Kyoya as he and the others walked up. They were also dressed in explorer outfits, except for Mori.
"Have you seen Mori, he up and vanished on me," said Honey.
"Sorry about that, Honey," said Hikaru.
"We needed to test fit his outfit," said Kaoru. Mori then walked up in a gorilla suit that did not cover his face.
"I hope you're not going to put me in an animal suit," said Haruhi as Honey jumped on Mori's back.
"There goes the bunny outfit," said Hikaru.
"I guess we should go with the explorer outfit then," said Kaoru as he held up some clothes like theirs.
"I'll go change," said Haruhi as she took the outfit from them and headed for the changing area.
"Let us help you," said Hikaru as the twins started to follow her.
"Hold it, you two aren't going anywhere," said Tamaki as he held them by the callers of their shirts. Later at lunch, the girls had shown up at the club.
"Hey Honey, aren't you afraid of this big gorilla?" asked one of the four girls sitting with him.
"I'm not afraid, after all he is so lovable," said Honey as he hugged Mori.
"So cute," said all the girls. Over with Haruhi, she was pouring some tea for her five customers.
"So, Haruhi, why are you still working as a host?" asked one of the girls.
"Yeah, we heard that you paid off your debt," said another girl.
"It's because I like spending time with the friends that I have made while here," said Haruhi with a smile.
"Oh," said all the girls.
"I hope you ladies don't mind if I cut in," said Tamaki.
"Is something wrong, Tamaki?" asked Haruhi.
"There is someone here asking for you," said Tamaki as he motioned to the door. When Haruhi looked over at the door, she noticed a dark-skinned girl with blond hair. She was also wearing a black tank top and jean shorts.
"Mei?!" asked Haruhi as she jumped up.
"It's been a while, Haruhi," said Mei.
