It was 1:00 in the afternoon on Saturday and Fern was sprawled across her bed snoring. Her sheets were tangled around her legs and her pillow was being hugged to her stomach by one of her arms while the other arm disappeared under her mass of black hair. Fern could sleep for hours and hours if no one disturbed her.

"Fern?" A red head whispered in her ear. "Hey Ferrnnnn!"

She mumbled something incoherent.

The other red head poked her in the face and whispered too. "Fern you gotta wake up!"

She kept her eyes closed, but managed to throw her pillow right at his face. After a minute Fern thought they left and drifted back into sleep.

"GOOD MORNING MY NIECE!" Tamaki's shouting scared Fern so much that she fell out of her bed.

"God dammit." She refused to untangle herself from her sheets and stayed on the floor like a lump.

Haruhi came in her room next and yelled at Tamaki to get out, then she went over to Fern.

"Are you alright?"

"What do you think?"

"Want some help?" Fern nodded her head and with the help of Haruhi she was able to get up.

"So why are you here?"

"Tamaki wanted to see where you lived so it became a club trip. Sorry I know how they can be sometimes. I always get annoyed when they all come over to my house uninvited."

"Wait they're all here? Like as in the twins, Kyoya, Honey, and...Takashi?"

"Yeah everyone's here. I think they are in the living room."

Fern grumbled to herself as she adjusted her pj's so they looked presentable.

"Fern why do you call Mori by his first name?"

"Because he's an idiot and a jerk."

"No Tamaki's the idiot. What do you mean by jerk?"

Before Fern could answer Tamaki came bursting into the bedroom near tears.

"My daughter thinks I'm an idiot?"

"Tamaki were you listening the whole time?" Haruhi was trying not to yell.

"Well I had to make sure you were safe."

"Why wouldn't I be safe?"

"Because Fern looked upset and dangerous."

"She was upset because YOU WOKE HER UP!"

"But but Haruhi!"

Haruhi walked out of the room past Tamaki who was looking at Fern like a lost puppy.

"Don't look at me for help. You're the one who needs to learn what privacy is." She walked past Tamaki to go find everyone else in her house.

"Shokubutsu you're awake!" The twins opened their arms as if they were about to hug her.

"You touch me I'll bite you. Hard." They dropped their arms.

Fern looked around her small living room. Kyoya was looking through her very limited bookcase while writing who knows what into his notebook. The twins were flipping through every channel on her tv set never stopping for more than a second. Tamaki had come back and was fighting the twins for the remote control. Haruhi was sitting on the couch looking bored out of her mind. Next to her was Honey who was just sitting on the couch patiently waiting for something to happen. Then there was him. Takashi was standing next to the couch looking around her apartment. Fern was still groggy from sleep, but she thought his expression looked unhappy.

She walked up to him and waited till he looked at her. When he finally did she spoke.

"You know if you are annoyed by me so much then why did you even bother to come?"

Mori did a quick glance down at Honey who was smiling, probably dreaming of mountains of cake he could eat.

She raised her eyebrows. "Him? The only reason you came here was because of Honey? Wow you really follow him around like a lost puppy don't you?"

This caused Mori to frown.

"What? Now what did I say Takashi? Hmm?"

"We're cousins."

Fern's jaw dropped a little. "Cousins? Really?"

"Yeah."

"Oh. Is he younger than you?"

"Older."

She was confused now. "Then why are you so protective over him if he's older? I'm pretty sure he can take care of himself."

"I want to."

She looked at him for a while. "Whatever." Fern turned back toward the club members. "Guys."

No one heard her so she spoke again, but louder this time. "Guys!"

Still nobody seemed to notice. "Hey idiots listen up!" Finally everyone turned towards her. "Answer me these questions. 1. Why are you here? and 2. What can I do to make you leave the quickest?"

The twins and Tamaki jumped up. "We want to go commoner shopping!"

"No."

"Please!"

"Nope."

"Pretty please!"

"Never gonna happen."

"Aw why not Shokubutsu?"

"Because I'm tired and I don't want to go shopping."

"What if we don't call you Shokubutsu for the rest of the day?"

"...all day?"

"All day!" The twins smiled hoping for her to change her mind.

Fern sighed. "Alright let me get changed."

"Yay! We're going commoner shopping with Fern!"

Fern had walked near Haruhi mumbling about finding the right words to call these people. Haruhi helped her out. "Rich bastards. Trust me it fits."

Fern thought about it for a second. "Rich bastards. Your deaths shall be slow and painful if this day goes bad."

The Host Club and Fern had arrived at the market. Not only were there places to buy fresh foods, but also places to buy clothes and other random objects you would normally find at any shopping mall, and to make this trip even better there was a small fair going on that had carnival games and small rides. After they had walked around for a while Tamaki wanted to split into groups, and he was the one who picked them. He choose himself and Haruhi, but the twins stole her away rather quickly and after Tamaki calmed down he went with Kyoya, leaving Fern with Honey and Mori. Her favorite people.

Note to self: Make Tamaki suffer as much as possible whenever the opportunity presents itself.

"Fern is something wrong?" Honey was looking at Fern.

"Why do you ask?"

"You look like you wanna do something not nice."

Fern looked down at him. "I'm plotting Tamaki's demise."

"Tamaki can be dumb, but he's really nice!"

"Can't you just let me be evil for once." She looked forward as they walked glaring at nothing in particular.

"Fern is silly isn't she Takashi?"

"Yeah Takashi aren't I silly?" Fern showed Takashi a sugar-coated fake smile.

"Hn"

Fern rolled her eyes. "Wow you'd think we wouldn't ever be able to make him shut up."

"Ooo look!" Honey was jumping up and down pointing at something and both Takashi and Fern turned their heads to look.

Honey was pointing at the fun house.

"Takashi, Fern I wanna go on that!"

Fern was about to protest, but Takashi had already nodded his head and started walking with Honey to the fun house.

"I hate my life." Fern dragged her feet as she followed.

"Again I hate my life."

It had been an house since the three of them had set foot into the fun house. They were the only ones inside. Honey had ran ahead of Takashi and Fern and had gotten lost. Takashi was freaking out in his own silent way and Fern was almost jogging to keep up with him as he was frantically searching for Honey.

"You know maybe if you shouted his name he may hear you. Oh wait that's right you're incapable of talking to around me unless it's an insult or a confusing statement."

Takashi had stopped running and Fern rammed into his back.

"Ow! Will you warn a person before you just stop! Geez!"

Takashi turned his head and looked down at Fern.

"What?"

"We need to find him."

Fern could hear the worry in his voice. She stood up and looked him in the eyes. "Takashi it will be alright. I'm sure Honey has made it through already and is just waiting for us outside. It's okay."

She put her hand on his shoulder and Takashi looked at it, then at her.

Fern removed her hand and looked down. "Sorry."

"Let's go."

Fern nodded her head and followed him.

After a few minutes of silence Fern could see the light showing the way out. Without thinking she walked closer to Takashi and grabbed one of his shoulders.

"Takashi wait a minute."

He turned towards her and looked at her confused.

"What did...is there something...tell me what I did wrong." She was looking at her feet feeling rather nervous.

"Nothing."

Her head snapped up and now Fern was confused. "But if I didn't do anything then why do you hate me?"

"Not sure."

"That's not an answer Takashi." Fern stepped closer as her anger level went up. Did I take my pills today? No crap I didn't...

"Yes it is." He too stepped closer.

"No it's not! Tell me the real reason. Now."

By now they were very close and Fern could hear Takashi breath.

He didn't answer, but he tilted his head down closer to her's.

"Answer me Takashi." Fern was becoming distracted by his closeness and she felt the urge to step back and get him out of her space.

"Takashi! Fern! There you are! I thought you guys got lost!" Honey had gone back in through the fun house till he found them.

Takashi quickly backed up, breaking eye contact with Fern. Fern stood rooted to the stop staring at Takashi like an idiot.

"Come on guys let's go on more rides!" Honey started to skip away and Takashi followed him silently while Fern just stared after them.

"By far the strangest day I have ever had."

oh my Takashi is being nice to Fern! what will happen next?
