Sarah woke the next morning to a buzzing sound. She reached out from under the blanket and grabbed the offending object, with a groan she blinked and ran her finger over the screen.
"Hello?" Sarah mumbled.
"Sarah, it's perfect! I love your idea! I can't wait for the fair! We're doing it this weekend!" Tamaki shouted excitedly.
"Tamaki, can you be excited a little later? Five a. m. is a bit early for me," Sarah said rubbing her hand over her face.
"I'm sorry, I thought you would be up and getting ready for school," Tamaki said sounding hurt and making Sarah feel guilty.
"It's okay, I don't mind. What are sisters for, right?" Sarah asked trying to make him feel better.
Tamaki perked up instantly and started raving about how great the fair was going to be. He mentioned something about the booths and Sarah being too tired agreed that it was a great idea. She was really just trying to get him off the phone so she could get thirty more minutes of sleep. Finally he told her he had to hang up and tell Kyoya the great news. Sarah hung up and looked at the time. She groaned and rolled out of bed. She made it to the bathroom and splashed her face with water. It was bad enough that she stayed up late to do homework. Kyoya was right, the King did like to get up early, and he was way too perky in the morning. Sarah spent her classes in a haze, ignoring Hikaru's comments. She spent the rest of her days sleepy, and getting tired of the 5 a.m. wake up calls. She tried putting the phone on silent but the vibrations still woke her up. She even got a "Are you feeling okay? You didn't answer the first time." from Tamaki. It was Saturday now and she knew the Fair was happening that day. She felt bad because she still couldn't remember what she agreed to. It was her first night getting a full nights rest and Sarah felt good as she stretched. Her phone hadn't rung yet, but she was sure Tamaki would call soon. A wicked smile crossed her face as she looked at the clock. It was seven in the morning and Sarah grabbed her phone. She went to Tamaki's number and called.
"Hello?" Tamaki mumbled into the phone.
"Tama-chan! Are you awake? It's Saturday!" Sarah called excitedly.
"Sarah, it's a little early to call on the weekend, but I don't mind! I'm glad you're up! I'm so excited, too. The fair is today! It's going to be great!" Tamaki started shouting cheerfully. Sarah groaned. It backfired… Tamaki was just always that hyper and cheery, even when he just woke up.
"Me, too!" Sarah answered with a smile. She couldn't help but feel happy that she had friends she could call now.
"So, you'll start the day with Hunny-senpai at the Kissing booth and then it will be Hikaru's turn. I figure you'll just be there all day because you're technically the only 'girl' of the group. I'm still amazed that we could open it up to females. Anyway, it's just kissing on the cheek, so it's not that bad," Tamaki rambled on. Sarah's jaw dropped. Apparently she agreed to be stationed at the kissing booth. She palmed her forehead. Why did she agree to this? What was she thinking? Oh, yeah, it was way too early for brain use when he asked. At least it was just kisses on the cheek. Sarah sighed as she tried to focus on Tamaki's rambling.
"We think it'll up your clientele if you man the kissing booth. Kyoya thought it was a great idea. The guys will trade out being at the other booths. Hunny can't wait to man the cotton candy and funnel cakes," Tamaki said with a laugh, "I bet he eats more than he sells. I think that's why Kyoya thought we should switch around stations."
Sarah laughed picturing the sweet Hunny covered in cotton candy and powdered sugar.
"Oh, Tamaki, today's going to be great," Sarah said and she got a little laugh from him.
"I'm glad you think so princess," Tamaki said, he liked to refer to her as princess. Sarah shook her head. She could just imagine that amazing glitter that always popped up around him.
"Well, your highness; I better go get in the shower, see you soon," Sarah said.
"Farewell, princess," Tamaki said and Sarah hung up. She still wondered how he could be that cheery all the time… except when someone upset him. Then he hid in the corner. Sarah laughed as the picture of Tamaki sitting in the corner with a dunce cap crossed her mind. He gave himself time outs. After she got ready a knock came to her dorm. Sarah opened it and the twins came in like a whirlwind, followed by Haruhi. They handed her clothes and pushed her into the closet to change. When she was done they started on her hair. In mere minutes they transformed her into an American cowgirl. She wore pink boots, a denim skirt, a pink plaid shirt that was tied up to show her waist, and a cowboy hat. Her hair had been curled and put into low pigtails. Sarah started laughing. It was too much fun to be around these guys. Hikaru's plaid shirt had ripped sleeves and was left open in the front. He had denim pants on with a huge belt buckle. Kaoru's plaid was the same colors as Hikaru, but short sleeved and buttoned most of the way.(minus the top three buttons) Haruhi was dressed similarly with a plaid shirt, jeans, boots, and cowboy hat.
Then they rushed her out to get to the fairgrounds. Kyoya, Hunny, Mori, and Tamaki were already there. Tamaki and Kyoya's shirts were open like Hikaru's and Sarah couldn't believe. She didn't go out and meet many new people but she was starting to feel a little self conscious. She folded her arms in front of her. How did she get into an all rich and beautiful club? She certainly wasn't that good looking, was she?
"Princess! You look gorgeous!" Tamaki cheered as if reading her mind. He ran forward and took her hands in his.
"Alright team! Let's do our best to make some girls… and guys-," he said looking at Sarah with the last part, "happy. It's our job as Host Club members to make this event a fair to remember! Team! To your positions!"
Sarah laughed as Hunny grabbed her hand and they ran over to the kissing booth. There were two directors chairs set up behind the booth. Sarah laughed because one was pink and labeled "Princess". Hunny sat down in the other chair, his feet dangling in the air.
"Sarah-chan, you look so cute today. Do I make a cute cowboy?" Hunny asked.
"Hunny, you are always adorable. You make cowboy look good," Sarah replied waving a hand in the air. Hunny laughed and kicked the air more.
"I like you, Sarah-chan," Hunny said making her smile. Sarah sat back as a huge crowd of girls came running. She watched as they all cooed over Hunny and his cute cowboy look. She loved looking at the colors and couldn't believe they had a Ferris wheel. Mori was dunked in the dunk tank and all the girls screamed and then awed at his wet form. Kaoru was getting cotton candy everywhere. Haruhi was making perfect funnel cakes, and the girls were exclaiming about how they loved a man who could cook. Hikaru was taking tickets at the Ferris wheel, Tamaki was at a game booth where people threw darts at balloons, and Kyoya was at a game table with water guns. The girls loved the stuffed animals. She sat back, idly twirling a lock of hair around her finger when Nekozawa came creeping up.
"Well, milady, a hundred dollars well worth it," Nekozawa said handing her the money. Sarah smiled and took the bill from him, putting it in her nearly empty jar. She leaned over the table to kiss his cheek when he put the puppet up. Sarah laughed and kissed belzeneff on the nose. Nekozawa smiled and was on his way to the next area. Sarah shook her head and sat back down. She looked at her measly earnings compared to Hunny's three jars worth and frowned. She sat there for another hour when everyone else changed places. She knew when Hikaru was in the dunk tank she would take a break and make sure to dunk him into the water.
Now, however, she was stuck sitting next to him as he kissed girls cheeks.
"Bored yet, Sarah? Too bad you don't have a big fan base like the rest of us. I bet you won't even have that jar filled by the end of the day, too bad," Hikaru stated smiling at her nearly empty jar and his half way full jar. Sarah stuck her tongue out at him. She sat back as he flirted with the girls that came up, and watched more money fall into his jar. He gave her a smug look. Kasanoda came walking up to her side of the booth.
"Kissing booth, huh? How much for one on the lips?" he asked leaning onto the table.
"None on the lips, it's the rules, Bossa Nova!" Hikaru stated.
"I wasn't talking to you, Hitachiin," Kasanoda said. Sarah glared at Hikaru, then glanced at her almost empty jar, and an evil smile crossed her face.
"Three hundred, just for you, Kasanoda," Sarah said putting on lip gloss. Hikaru's jaw dropped.
"Sarah!" Hikaru yelled, "Cheeks only, boss's rules!"
"I wouldn't say it's a rule, more like a suggestion," Sarah replied as Kasanoda dropped the money into her jar. Hikaru fumed as Sarah gave Kasanoda a chaste kiss on the lips. Kasanoda smiled dreamily after.
"Nelson, you just got yourself a new client," Kasanoda said. Sarah smiled and waved sweetly as he walked off licking the sweet strawberry lip gloss from his lips.
"You are such a cheater!" Hikaru said after he left.
"Maybe, but I'm that much closer to filling my jar!" Sarah said holding her jar up to his face and laughing. Hikaru shook his head. Hikaru glanced over and saw Kyoya walking by.
"Kyoya! Sarah's cheating! Make her follow the rules!" Hikaru shouted.
Kyoya laughed, "How is she cheating? I wasn't aware that this was a game."
"Sarah kissed Bossa Nova for three hundred dollars!" Hikaru said folding his arms over his chest.
"Good for you, Sarah. How did you manage to charge him more?" Kyoya asked. Hikaru's jaw dropped and he fell over.
"I kissed him on the lips instead of the cheek, nothing bad, just a chaste kiss with no tongue," Sarah replied shrugging her shoulders, "On the up side he said he would be a new client!"
Kyoya's eyes widened, "Excellent work, Sarah! Keep it up."
Steam came off of Hikaru's head and his fists tightened against his sides. Kyoya pulled out his wallet and handed her three hundred dollars. Hikaru gasped, and Sarah laughed. She put her hands on Kyoya's cheeks and gave him a chaste kiss, her lips gently touching his.
"Kyoya! I can't believe you just did that!" Hikaru shouted. Kyoya smirked at Sarah.
"It goes to the Host Club ball, so why not?" Kyoya said with a shrug.
"It's just for fun anyway, Hikaru. It's not like I'm making out with everyone," Sarah said shaking her head. She slipped the money into her jar that was now half full and smiled.
"Well, Hikaru I do believe you were wrong. I just might have this jar filled by the end of the day," Sarah bragged holding the jar up to his face.
Hikaru shook his head, "Cheater."
Sarah smiled and Kyoya laughed as he walked away. Sarah sat back down and watched as the girls fawned all over him, some of them saying he was Kaoru. A group of guys came up and Sarah smiled and flirted with them. She kissed them on the cheek and waved sweetly as they left.
"Look at that, I'm getting more clients," Sarah said sitting down and smiling at Hikaru. His line finally died down and he sat in the other chair. Hikaru sat with his finger on his cheek like he was thinking. After a few minutes he shrugged and pulled out his wallet, handing her three hundred dollars. Sarah quirked a brow at him and he smiled.
"What? You chicken?" Hikaru asked. Sarah's eyes narrowed. She didn't know why it irked her that he always challenged her, but what was worse was that she just couldn't seem to back down from the challenge. She really didn't want to kiss the guy but how would she be able to back out without looking scared? Sarah grabbed the money and threw it into the jar.
"I'm not scared," She said with her hands on her hips. Hikaru smirked and Sarah let out a puff of air, making her bangs fly up. Then she leaned forward and kissed his lips. She was surprised though at the spark that ignited with the kiss. Desire flooded her and made her thoughts cloudy as he pulled her against him and deepened the kiss. His tongue flicked out touching her lips, and Sarah's mouth opened as a moan escaped. Their tongues met as the sparks ran throughout her body. Hikaru's thumbs grazed the bare skin at her waist and Sarah couldn't stop the shiver that ran down her back. She ran her fingers down his bare chest and he let out a groan. His hands slid over the bare skin of her lower back. They heard someone clear their throat and they jumped apart. Mori stood next to Hikaru and glared down at him. Hikaru looked back at Sarah and she could see he had the same desire drunken look.
