Chapter Two

"So, you're thinking of becoming a famous television host?"

"That sounds interesting."

It was the middle of lunch, and the twins (names Hikaru and Kaoru) came to sit by me…along with everyone else in the Host Club.

"Yeah, I plan on having a game show of my own," I said, studying the flyer.

"Sounds like fun!" Tamaki chirped in. "I wish you the best of luck on your essay Rae!"

I smiled. "Thanks, and if I win, you can look forward to being on my show!"

His eyes widened. "R-Really?"

"Sure, why not?"

"You hear that guys? Rae's gonna put me in her show!"

"Yeah, but only if she wins sempai!" the eldest twin said.

"We may not even know if Rae's going to win this contest. But if she does…" the younger one added.

"Can we be in your show too?" the twins said together.

I blinked in surprise. "Um…sure?"

"Hooray!"

"What's everyone 'hooraying' about?" the dark haired boy, better known as Kyoya, said.

"Rae's going to put us in her show when she wins!" Tamaki cheered.

"If I win!" I said, aggravated. Jeesh, why is everyone getting so excited about this? They don't even know what kind of game show I want to hold.

"This sounds interesting," Kyoya said pushing up his glasses. "Would it be possible for me to take part in this little game show of yours Rae?"

"Fine! I don't care! Yes, all of you guys that are in the stupid Host Club can be in my show! Just stop bugging me about it!"

Everyone cheered, and that's when I decided to grab my stuff and leave.

"Where you going?" Tamaki asked.

"To class, I want to start my essay."

"Well have fun Rae-chan!" the little boy, Honey-sempai, said.

"Good luck!" the twins cheered.

I rolled my eyes and continued to the classroom. Boy was this going to be one hell of a show if I won.

When I entered the empty classroom, I sat at my desk, pulled out a blank piece of paper and started thinking.

"Okay…so I want to do a game show but…what kind of game show?"

I tapped my pencil against my head as nothing came to my mind.

"Ugh…this is hopeless. And here I thought I'd be able to make a good television host. Guess I was wrong…"

"Don't give up. I know you can do it."

I turned around to see a short, brown haired girl standing in the doorway of my classroom.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"I'm Haruhi Fujioka. I know you don't know me, but I know exactly what you're trying to do. You're trying to follow your dream am I correct?"

"Y-Yeah, that's right."

She nodded. "I'm doing the same thing. See, I'm not really an all rich girl, like the girls at this school. I'm just a regular person with regular money like you."

I sighed in relief. "So you're saying you're not one of those snobby rich kids right?"

"Correct."

"Oh thank god. I can't tell you how annoyed I am of them."

She shrugged. "You'll get used to it. I got used to Tamaki-sempai and his change of moods."

"Tamaki-sempai?" I sighed. "You know him?"

"Yeah, but he's not as bad as you think. Sure he can be annoying sometimes, but he's just trying to be nice."

"Yeah well…maybe too nice."

She smiled. "Just remember, don't give up on your dream. Look deep inside and you'll find the answers you're looking for."

I smiled back. "Thanks Haruhi."

"No problem. Well, I'll let you get to your essay. Good luck."

"Thanks."

As she started to walk out of the room, I asked, "Hey, Haruhi?"

"Yeah?"

"I know this isn't any of my business but…why are you in a boy's uniform?"

She looked down at her blue jacket and black slacks. "Oh, this? I'm supposed to be a guy at this school."

"Why?"

"Because Tamaki-sempai and the rest of the people in the Host Club first thought I was a boy."

"Oh…that's nice."

"Yeah, but I'm used to it now."

"That's good."

"Well, see ya!"

"Bye!" I waved.

When she finally left the room, I looked back down at my blank piece of paper and began to write what was on my mind.

"I wanna hold my own TV show because…"

~ One week later ~

"Rae-chan! Rae-chan! Did you turn your essay in yet?" Honey-sempai asked me.

"That I did."

"Well? Tell us what happened! Did you get the prize?"

"I don't know yet. We won't find out till later today."

Everyone sighed.

"Man, is today over yet?" Hikaru asked.

"Yeah, we wanna know if Rae won the prize!" Kaoru said.

"You guys are really excited about this. You sure you wanna be on my show if I win?"

"Yes!" they all answered.

"Okay…suit yourselves," I giggled.

They all looked at me in question as the Chairman walked over to me.

"Hello, you're Rae Nakamura?"

"Y-Yes sir."

He took my hand and shook it. "Congratulations Rae, you've won!"

I stared at him in shock. "I-I did?"

"Yes ma'am! You've won the contest! All the judges loved your essay and they wanted to help you out with your dream."

"I-I don't know what to say. T-Thank you sir!"

"No need to thank me. I just look forward to seeing your TV show! I already brought in the camera people and everything so, no need to worry about any of that."

"Thank you sir, it's greatly appreciated!" I said.

"Everything is all ready for you in the abandoned ballet room. Head over there as soon as possible and we can air your show whenever you're ready."

"Thank you very much," I smiled.

The Chairman waved and left the room as the hosts came over to me and hugged me.

"Oh Rae! I'm so happy for you! You won!" Tamaki said.

"Hooray for Rae-chan!" Honey-sempai said.

"Yay! You won!" the twins cheered.

I smiled. "Yeah, guess I did."

"So, should we head over to the old ballet room then?" Tamaki asked.

"Sure, let's go."

As we made our way to the abandoned ballet room, we saw a lot of cameramen, makeup artists, and such roaming the halls.

"Wow, I never knew it was going to be this big of a thing!"

"Well of course. Ouran's a private school for the rich kids," Kyoya said.

"I know that," I said. "But still. I'm surprised."

When we finally made it inside the ballet room, we saw the whole room set up the way I hoped it would. There were cameras everywhere, lounge chairs, tables, mirrors, everything that could make a TV show look professional.

"Wow! This is amazing!"

"No kidding! It's all fancy!" Hikaru said.

"And we like fancy," Kaoru said.

I smiled. "So do I."

"Hey Rae-chan? What kind of show is this? The sign says 'Ouran Dares', so I'm kind of confused," Honey-sempai said, looking at the sign.

"This is a show where the contestants get to do dares that our viewers send in."

"Ah! So it's like the commoner's game of Truth or Dare right?" Tamaki asked.

"Kind of, only there are no Truth questions at all. Only dares!"

"…I don't think I'm going to like this show," Tamaki said.

I smiled. "Too bad, you wanted to be on the show, now you can't leave!"

"We're live in 30 seconds miss Nakamura," the cameraman said.

"Perfect. Everyone get in your places!"

The hosts looked at each other in confusion and then rushed onto the stage, just as the cameraman shouted, "We're live in three, two, one!"

When I saw the red light on the camera, I knew it was time for me to begin.

"Hello everyone! Welcome to Ouran Dares! The game show where our lucky contestants have to do the dares that you send in!"

"I'm not liking this…" Tamaki mumbled to Kyoya.

"Let's start off with some introductions! First off, I'm your host Rae Nakamura!" I said, waving. "And now over here to my left are our lucky contestants! Tamaki Suoh!"

The camera zoomed into his face.

"Um…h-hello."

Then the camera kept going to each and every host.

"Kyoya Ohtori!"

He didn't say anything. He just waved.

"Um…Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin."

"Hello world! We're the Hitachiin twins!" they waved cheerfully.

"Mitsukuni Haninozuka!"

Honey-sempai giggled and waved at the camera. "Hi people!"

"Takashi Morinozuka."

The tall, short haired boy stared at the camera. "Hi."

"And last but not least, Haruhi Fujioka!"

When the camera zoomed over to Haruhi, she smiled and waved. "Hello."

"Well, now that you all know our contestants, it's now your turn to send in your dares for these people! It can be anything you want them to do! Anything at all!"

"What if it's-" Tamaki began.

"So if you want to see the hosts get humiliated please send in your lovely dares! I'm Rae Nakamura, and I'll see you next time on Ouran Dares! Bye!"

"And we're clear!" the cameraman said.

"Phew, that was nerve wrecking."

"What is the meaning of this?" Tamaki yelled. "I didn't sign up for this!"

"Yes you did."

"No I didn't!"

"Yes you did. You said you wanted to be on my show." I shrugged. "And you got on."

His jaw dropped. "But this isn't what I had in mind!"

"Well, too bad!"

"Oh c'mon sempai, you won't know it's bad until you try it," Haruhi said.

"But she said we could get humiliated!"

"Only if the people want that," she said.

"…I don't know…"

"Sounds like fun! I hope someone dares me to have cake!" Honey-sempai said happily.

"Maybe, we'll never know until tomorrow," I said.

"Well, we should all head home. Tomorrow's gonna be a big day for all of us," Kyoya said.

I nodded. "Good idea. Well, see you tomorrow everyone!"

"See ya!" they called.

When the hosts left the room, I was left there with my happy thoughts.

This…is going to be great!

Finally! The boring chapters are over! Now you guys can submit dares! ^_^ Yay! I can't wait to see what you guys come up with! Well, I look forward to all your reviews! Love ya'll!
