Hi again! This is the next chapter of Love, Denial, and cookies!

First off, I want to thank LookUpAboveTonight for helping me out with things I could improve on and Roses-are-in-Bloom for supporting me. You really made my day, guys! Sorry about misspelling Kaoru's name. I wasn't sure how to spell it, so I thought that was how. Also, for Abigail's name, she was given to her aunt and uncle as a newborn, so they decided her name. I was going to put that in the story, but I wasn't sure how, so I'll just put it here. :P OK! Here's the next chapter!

Hikaru and Kaoru: lemon bars 101 does not own Ouran high school, or any of the characters.

Tamaki: day dreaming about Haruhi. (Cough still a creeper cough)

ON WITH THE STORY!

Everyone was frozen for a moment. Then chaos erupted. Abigail slide up behind her friend and, putting an arm around her, began yelling at Tamaki. Tamaki was in tears saying how sorry he was. Honey was asking Gabriel if she was ok, Gabriel standing there in shock, the twins telling Tamaki he was an idiot, and Kyoya, Mori, and Haruhi just standing there.

Finally Kyoya broke through the noise. "Gabriel, that vase was around eight to nine million yen, and we are going to have to discus how you are going to pay us back." Though he spoke at normal volume, everyone became silent. Except for Abigail, who turned to Kyoya and began yelling at him instead.

"Kyoya! What the heck that was all Tamaki's fault!" she yelled. Gabriel, who had been standing there in shock, told Abigail, "Abby, its okay. It was my fault, I tripped into the vase." Abigail turned on her friend furiously. "Only because that idiot practically pushed you toward it!" Gabriel shook her head. "If the vase really did cost that much-"

Haruhi: geez, are all vases eight million yen?

"then I want to pay it back." Abigail hesitated. "We don't have enough money, Gab." Kyoya spoke up, with the same creepy smile. DUN DUN DUUUN. "Oh, that won't be a problem. You can do the same thing Haruhi did." Gabriel looked at him with the same weird expression she had given Haruhi. "You want me to cross-dress as a guy? Every one knows I'm a girl already."

Tamaki leapt up then, striked a dramatic pose, and cried, "Not a problem! No girl should have to go with out the privilege of being a host!"

Gabriel: -_-

Tamaki continued. "So from this day forward, this host club shall have," insert dramatic pause here, "A HOSTESS!"

Immediately everyone complained.

Haruhi: you couldn't have done that for me?

Twins: C'mon boss, this is a host club, it's not supposed to have girls in it.

Abigail: YOU PERVERT YOU'RE DOING THE SAME THING YOU DID TO HARUHI!

Gabriel: I'm with Abigail.

Kyoya spoke up again. "Well, then, ladies how to you presume we settle this manner then? We are asking you just to help out around, and you don't have to conceal your gender."

Gabriel thought about it. Kyoya was creepy, and not exactly some one she wanted to piss off. Plus, if she did this it'd get done quicker, and everyone would get used to it eventually. Except perhaps herself, but she didn't want to be in debt.

"I'll do it." She stated bluntly, with a poker face. Abigail gasped, and said, switching to English, "Gabriel Watterson, what's wrong with you?" Gabriel glanced at her friend, some what annoyed. She loved Abigail in a sisterly way, but some times she was just so difficult. "Nothing! I just don't like being in debt. I'll just work it off, and then never come here again. What's wrong with that?" Abigail hissed. "Can't you find some other way? These people are total creeps!" Gabriel glared at her, beginning to feel snappish. She hadn't slept well last night, as always in new places, being in a new school was scary to her, and now she had broken a vase that cost eight million yen. Plus her best friend was arguing with her. Abigail was used to making decisions for the both of them, and normally she would be happy to let her, but not this time. "Look, I don't care if they were criminals. I'm going to pay off this fricking debt, and either your on board or your not, but just stop arguing." Abigail froze in shock. Never had Gabriel spoke to her like that. Most of the time when they argued it was in an almost playful fashion, nothing serious or meaning full. She glared furiously at Gabriel, who winced, waiting for Abigail to explode on her.

Instead she said in a short, clipped sentence, switching back to Japanese, "I'm working with you." Gabriel looked surprised for a second before smiling and nodding. The two turned to Kyoya. "What do we have to do?" they asked simultaneously.

He smiled in his good old creepy fashion. They shuddered. "Well," he said thought fully, "the guest will arrive in about an hour, so then we will introduce you, and have you serve cake and tea and such." He then turned to the twins. "Hikaru, Kaoru. Will an hour be enough time for you to go home and find something more suitable for the girls to wear?" They looked at each other and shrugged, not really wanting the girls to be in the host club anyway. "Sure." They called their limo driver while Abigail and Gabriel turned to Kyoya. "Wadaya mean more suitable?" he merely smiled and shrugged, writing something in his little black note book. "Creeper." They muttered, but low enough that he couldn't hear them.

IN THE HITACHIIN CAR

Kaoru was miffed about the whole girl-in-a-guy's club thing, so basically he was being sexist, while Hikaru was doing his oh so fun hobby, staring out of windows. "I mean, it's a host club. They're not supposed to be in it." Kaoru was saying. "I can't believe Tamaki wanted them to do this. I thought it was supposed to just be us!" Hikaru was still staring out of his window. Kaoru frowned, worried. "You ok, Hikaru? You're not talking a lot." Hikaru turned and gave his younger brother a fake smile. "I'm fine. Just been feeling a bit…weird." Which was the truth. Hikaru wasn't sure what he was feeling, but mostly he just felt…empty. Kaoru nodded, but Hikaru could tell he didn't believe him. He sighed quietly. The two brothers seemed to be drifting apart for the first time. He wasn't exactly sure how he felt about that either.

WHEN THE TWINS CAME BACK

"Change into these." The Hitachiin brothers said to Abigail and Gabriel on the couch. The "uniforms" were dresses that went just past the knees, with long sleeves. Both were a light gray with different colored roses on it. The girls did, put their hair up in a French braid, and put gray ribbons in those. When they came back, everyone seemed to stare. "What?" they demanded. Everyone in front of them averted their gaze and shrugged, except for Haruhi, who came up to them.

"Don't worry; I hated it when I came here to. It's not that bad." Tamaki, who was eavesdropping (of course) gasped and went up to Haruhi. "Haruhi! Don't speak like that! Your sisters will love it here!" Tamaki exclaimed while flailing his arms like he was trying to achieve lift off. "We don't want to be here." The two girls stated bluntly. Tamaki gasped, and went to his little corner of emoness to make home's for hamsters.

"Um…he always like that?" Abigail asked. Haruhi was gazing at the Senpai as she answered, "Yea. But he's nice, even though he's a total idiot most of the time."

Abigail gasped. Gabriel and Haruhi both averted their gaze from Tamaki to look at her. "What?" they said at the same time.

"Ah hehe, oh nothing…" Abigail said while sweat dropping. She gave Gabriel a look that said talk later. Gabriel gave her a questioning look, but before any of them could do any thing, Kyoya said, "The ladies are here."

ABIGAIL POV

Kyoya introduced us, and we got lots of both dirty and jealous looks from a bunch of girls. What is wrong with these girls? Do they actually like the host club? I wondered. Gabriel and I basically just went around refilling tea and bringing out more plates of cake or baked goods, really mostly for honey. He can eat a whole cake in a minute by himself, I swear. Everyone here is either weird or creepy in some way. And my dad had said it was such a privilege to come here, to. I looked around at the stalker Kyoya, Tamaki, who was striking a dramatic pose, Haruhi, my sister who was a boy then a girl then a boy, Honey and Mori, the cake-eater and the statue, and the twins, Player Kaoru and anti-social Hikaru. Lucky me.

Things were going fine for Gabriel and me, we just kept serving, until we got to the Hitachiin table. We were both pouring tea, when Hikaru took Kaoru's face closer and said, "I'm so excited for tonight, little brother. We'll have so much fun together." It was a good thing we weren't eating anything otherwise we probably would've choked. Even so, we both made a small retching sound, causing the squealing fan girls, and the twins to glance up at us in surprise.

Gabriel and I quickly retreated over to a corner of the room. It was silent for a moment. "So, um, are they like, gay, or what?" I blurted. Gabriel shrugged and said, also switching to English like me, "Ugh. I don't know. That was…disturbing. But I REALLY hope they're not gay." She said rubbing her head. I don't know why, but the way she said that she hoped they weren't gay made me freeze. She looked up. "What?" she asked, seeing me stiffen up. "I thought you hated Kaoru." I said in a mild tone. "WHAT?" she said, forgetting to switch back to English. "Of course I do! He's a total jerk face! I just don't want to see them all over each other in class, that's all! Ugh. Like I would like Kaoru." I just nodded, but something told me she wasn't being completely honest. I decided to ignore it for the moment, and switched to what seemed more important topics to me. "So you know how I was surprised at Haruhi earlier?" I said, turning to English and keeping my voice low so no one either heard nor understood me. Gabriel nodded slowly, obviously worried about earlier. She didn't want me thinking she liked Kaoru. This meant she defiantly did. We were close, but growing father apart. At least I still knew her, probably better than she knew herself. Hhmmm…well if that little freaking pervert made her happy, I COULD try and get them together…but then everyone would try and get me and Hikaru together. Whatever. There would be no way I would like that anti social weirdo. "You were saying?" Gabriel broke into my thoughts. I smiled apologetically and said, "Haruhi has a crush on Tamaki." Gabriel gasped. "You think?" she asked

"I know." I replied. Gabriel saw the look on and grinned our evil grin. "So what are you going to do?" I laughed, and said, "I'm going to get them together. No matter what it takes."

Well that's the next chapter! Sorry it took so long! On the upside, I started a new story, called Instead of Wonderland, about Hetalia, if any of you viewers are as crazy about Hetalia as I am, go give it a look! (HAHAA, ADVERTISE!) Anways I'll try to write the next chapter sooner this time!

Kaoru: yea, it kinda took a while.

Me: trying my best here!

Hikaru: you're boring. It would be better if Haruhi was here.

Haruhi: what the-where am I?

Tamaki: HARUHI! MY DARLING DAUGTHER! HOW I HAVE MISSED YOU SO!

Twins: hey Haruhi.

Me: you know, I'm not even asking where she came from. I'll just wrap this up myself, huh? Well, you keep on reading, I'll keep on updating! Please review!
