NOTE HERE FOR READER! This chapter is going to have me set Ranka up with somebody, hope you don't mind me throwing romance in the background or having it take so long, but I figured it would help get him out of the way of Haruhi… ok, I admit, I also just wanted to set Ranka up with someone. *shifty eyes* what? He needs a man too!

CrystalClear8 : Ok, well, thank you to crystalclear8 for so quickly adding my story to your favorites list, (I got an email telling me so), and just an hour after I posted the thing for the first time! That made me happy! Anywho, seeing as I already have a reader, I thought I would get back to work right away and not slack off (I stayed up all night writing this). So this chapter is for you!

Chapter 2

Tamaki could only stare as the four new comers stood up, looking around the alley way as they got to their feet, only the younger male taking notice of him.

"We're here! We're here!" a voice shouted from somewhere in the group, and the big, tall, dark man looked over his shoulder.

"nice job, fur ball, you landed us in a dirty alley." He said, looking around but still not noticing Tamaki as he stared at them.

"Um, guys, I think this guy just saw us make are entrance, and he looks a lot like…" the younger man trailed off, and suddenly they were all looking in his direction.

Tamaki stood in shock as what just happened went through his head again. Big drop of water, sky falling four strangers appearing out of now where, Tamaki just opened and closed his mouth once, then opened it again to say, "well, that was interesting."

Everyone stood still for a moment, an awkward silence falling over the group, until everything organized itself in Tamaki's head.

"What- what just happened! Where did you come from? I know- this is a trick! A trick from those devil twins! I should just close my eyes and it will all go away." He rambled, taking a deep breath to calm himself. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself staring at one of the group he did not notice before. A blonde man, with striking blue eyes who was quiet tall, but not as tall as the dark man, and who seemed to look like…

"You're me!" he shouted, pointing at the man in question.

Haruhi hopped off the bus, her dad following close behind as the joined the crowd through the gates of the park. Everything was hustling and bustling already, and they soon worked their way into the flow of things. As they moved along some of the booths, and whistle caught their attention.

"Hey there, what's your name?" a guy leaning up against the booth next to them asked, looking over Haruhi's head at Ranka. He was tall with brown hair, and his accent screamed American, as if he hadn't been in the country to long. His eyes were green, and they seemed to looking Haruhi's father up and down.

Haruhi looked back at her father, worried that the guy had mistaken her father for a woman and didn't want the guy to be disappointed or feel awkward when learning the truth, but stopped. Her father, she released, had opted to dress as a guy today, wearing his hair in a neat, high ponytail, but that was the most feminine thing he had. No makeup, no clothes, nothing. She looked at her dad, seeing the slow smile on his face.

"Hi, you can call me Ranka. What can I do for ya?" he asked, folding his arms in a casual manner. Of course, Haruhi thought, he's going to hit on the guy and flirt.

But to here surprise, the man flirted back, "just wondering if you're single and like men."

Ranka raised an eyebrow, "how did you know?"

The man sighed, "Your hair is really long, you have nail polish on, you hold yourself high, like you are used to high heels, and you said your name was Ranka, a girl name. I figured you batted for the same team as me." He smirked, seeming ever so relaxed.

"Alright, you got me, so what did you have in mind?" Ranka asked playfully, and Haruhi sighed.

"See you later, dad. I'm going over here." She called over her shoulder, walking off and leaving her dad alone.

She headed over to an alley, noticing some booths at the mouth of it, and decided to meander in. as she wandered in, she heard what sounded like her friend Tamaki shout "Mon Ami!"

"Please, please calm down. We aren't going to hurt you. And your right, we do look awfully similar." Fai began, holding his arms up in a peace offering. "We actually came here by accident, and we're sorry if we scarred you, but this just happened to be where we landed. You wouldn't happen to know where we are, would you?" he asked politely, ignoring the way the others were looking back and forth between the two.

"Um yeah, you're in Tokyo, Japan, and at the commoner's Fair right now, but I still don't understand how you all got here." Then Tamaki smacked his fist into his hand, "oh, I know! You used magic! It didn't look like that evil Nekozawa's magic, so it can't be that bad. Oh, are you part of the Fair? No, you wouldn't be because otherwise you would know where you were. Oh, your from another country, aren't you! Or, another world!" he stood and shouted that last part, pointing a finger at them triumphantly.

The group just starred, then Karogane reached behind him and grabbed Mokana. "You idiot! You landed us in front of someone, and he's smart enough to figure out that we're dimension travelers! You stupid poof ball! I should throw you back at Yuko where you came from, you little runt!" he shouted, and as the two of them began to fight, Tamaki just starred at them dumbly.

"wh-what is that?" he asked, pointing gently at Mokana, who was bouncing on Kuroganes head angrily.

"why, that's Mokana, our travel guide." Fai laughed, looking down at Tamaki, "and your actually quite perceptive. You're the first person to guess we were from different worlds on their own. But what more could I expect from my parallel."

He smiled, and Tamaki just looked at him for a moment, before exclaiming, "you ARE from another world! Incroyable! Mon ami!" and with that last shout in French, he jumped up and tackled Fai, hugging the older blonde in a tight hold.

"what's going on here, Tamaki sempai?" a voice said in the background, and they all turned to look as a young girl with short brown hair stepped up to them.

hope you like it! I will try to keep on track and add more chapters!
