Chapter Two.

Saturday:

The plans were all set up, after many a failed attempt by Tamaki, by Kyoya.

He made the phone calls and the Host Club met in the Third Music room on Saturday. As the school was closed, Haruhi made lunch for everyone and was setting it up picnic style. The six boys watched as she laid out all the food on the blanket she found in the store cupboard.

"Okay, everyone sit down."

All the boys took their places around Haruhi, the twins to her left with Kyoya next to them, Honey and Mori to her right and Tamaki, sulking, at what could only be called "The Bottom".

"Why am I so far away from Haruhi?" Tamaki asked, feeling sorry for himself.

Ignoring Tamaki, "Everybody dig in!" said Haruhi picking up her chopsticks.

The boys followed suit and were soon praising Haruhi for all her hard work. Once they finished, the twins went to make some tea for everyone.

"Did you make anything sweet?" asked Honey

"Mitskuni…" Mori scolded

"What?" said Honey, "I was only asking…" He began to tear up. "I'm sorry Haru-chan, I'm so rude!!" he cried, grabbing Haruhi's arm.

She put her arms around him "Don't worry Honey-sempai, I made something." He looked up at her with his big brown eyes. "Really?" he sniffed

"Yup and," she leaned down to him and whispered, "I've made you something extra special too. But don't tell, kay?"

"Okay." He whispered back, blushing slightly. This caused some confusion but it was soon dismissed as Haruhi brought out a large chocolate cake.

"Wow! That looks great!" said the twins, returning with the tea.

"Will you cut it, Kyoya?"

"Sure." He answered taking the knife from Haruhi. He then cut the cake into seven equal pieces "If you don't stop sulking Tamaki, you won't get your bit" he said handing out the cake. Tamaki had been in his corner since the whispering took place. He was instantly back in the circle, looking hungrily at his piece of cake

"What a wonderful daughter, making this cake for us!" he said taking a bite and looking at Haruhi. He then almost chocked on it as he saw Haruhi produce a small strawberry tart from her bag and hand it to Honey. He then passed out but no one took notice of him. This was probably for the best anyway, as Honey tackling Haruhi to the floor with a hug would have most likely killed him.

Once everyone had composed themselves and finished eating the cake, they were eager to hear Kyoya's plans.

"Well…Haruhi's going to go on a series of dates with everyone…"

"Dates!?" Haruhi and Tamaki exclaimed.

"Yes, like on the reality television shows. This week, starting on Monday, everyone will go on one date with Haruhi. We'll all meet here next Sunday and talk about what they did on the dates. Haruhi will then eliminate the two guys she had the least fun with. It'll take about 3 weeks to get down to the last two. When that happens, she'll go on two dates each with them that week. On that Sunday, she'll make her decision."

"We can't do it like that!" protested Tamaki "What if…"

"Do these plans suit you Haruhi?" Kyoya interrupted, causing Tamaki to go to his corner…again.

"Emm…yes that's fine. Thanks Kyoya. So…who's my first date with?"

"I've made a rota," he said casually, pulling out five pieces of paper, "I'll make new ones weekly, obviously."

"I'm first!!" squealed Honey happily, hopping up and down with Usa. "I can't wait Haru-chan!!"

Haruhi smiled at the tiny senior, then turned to Kyoya, "Do I not get a rota?"

"No. It'll be a surprise for you until the night before."

"Oh, alright."

"This is going to be so good." Said the voice

"I'm still not sure, I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings…"

"They'll understand. Just have fun for once!"

"But…"

"No buts!! This is happening, you've agreed, no backing out."

"You're right…wait! You're not the boss."

"Yes I am, I'm you, duh!" and it was gone.

"Are you alright Haruhi?" asked Kaoru

"What? Oh yes I'm fine. Sorry."

"Why don't we pack up and head home…?" suggested Kyoya

"Sounds good," answered the twins "We need to plan." The mischief in their eyes was unsettling.

"You have separate dates," stated Kyoya.

"We know…doesn't mean we can't plan together" answered Kaoru

They packed up the trash, put the blanket away and headed outside.

"Hey Haruhi, do you want a ride home?" asked Tamaki with a pleading look on his face, practically begging Haruhi to let him take her home.

"Oh no, I'm fine. Thanks anyway."

He turned away disappointed, and crumbled into his car. All the other boys said goodbye to Haruhi and got into their respective cars.

"I'll call you tomorrow with plans, kay Haru-chan?"

"Okay, Honey-sempai." She said, waving as all the cars pulled away. She walked home alone, trying to imagine kind of surprises the week ahead had in store for her.
