Cue intense music

ENTER CONNOR and handsome-looking men into empty ballroom, and the HOST CLUB (exempt HARUHI). CAMERA ZOOMS IN on both groups looking intently at each other. Finally, TAMAKI ushers them to the nearest table and decides to make coffee for his surprise guests. Both table and coffee brewer appear out of nowhere.

TAMAKI smiles and pours coffee into his surprise guest's cups: This coffee is simply intoxicating, you have to try it! One of our host club members, HARUHI, brings it in especially from her-

CONNOR (the leader of the handsome gentlemen) grabs his hot cup of coffee and pours it all over the table. The HOST CLUB has shocked expressions on their faces.

CONNOR fixes his tie: I don't want any of your commoner coffee. I'm here to talk business.

KYOYA pushes his sheening glasses with forefinger and grabs a handkerchief from his blazer pocket. He hands it to CONNOR, who looks at him disgustingly and cruelly laughs.

KYOYA smirks and fully stands up, revealing his tall stature compared to CONNOR'S medium-height figure: I would assume that you'd be a real gentleman and accept my generosity of providing a cleaning material for your mess. I was wrong about you. That'll be 1000 yen, please.

CONNOR flinches slightly: your commoner coffee isn't even worth thinking about, much less paying for it. Who cries over spilt coffee, anyway? A true gentleman would never serve his guest this atrocity that you call coffee.

KYOYA'S jaw clenches: you're contradicting yourself there, Mister…..?

CONNOR smirks; CONNOR, you may call me CONNOR. Anyhow, we are here to warn you, OURAN ACADEMY, that you are best suited to stop running your…hmm, a host club, you call this mess? We are the new host club now, the REAL one! GREENLOCK HIGH SCHOOL HOST CLUB will conquer you!

CONNOR and his group go out the ballroom doors. CONNOR stops at the doorway.

TAMAKI stares at him intensely while HONEY piggybacks MORI. KYOYA looks ahead. Suddenly, CONNOR notices USA-CHAN lying on the nearest table beside him. He picks it up and throws it harshly at HONEY, who swiftly catches it with his right hand.

CONNOR: Enjoy yourselves, little boys, because the real men are here to take the homerun. Oh, and let's not forget about our dear little girl-I mean boy, HARUHI…

CONNOR exits

TAMAKI: don't let him get to your heads. He knows nothing about HARUHI and her true gender. I will report this to the Student Council. They can find some sort of agreement with Greenlock High.

HONEY hops off MORI'S back

HONEY: That was fun, wasn't it? CONNOR'S just playing as if he's a bad guy but he's losing this battle! Nobody messes with OURAN!

MORI looks at HONEY tenderly: HONEY, it's time for your nap…

HONEY and MORI exit

TAMAKI: Well, mommy, I guess you're going to research Greenlock High and clean up-

KYOYA has already exited as soon as he heard "mommy".

TAMAKI gets out his handkerchief and starts wiping the coffee-stained table.

TAMAKI whistles "ODE TO JOY" softly.

(Voiceover) TAMAKI: I wish HARUHI was here, she'd know what to do…

HARUHI'S smiling face comes up in his mind.

TAMAKI chuckles and continues to wipe the table.

Soft music and scene fade
