Hey everyone! Here's the next chapter! I really hope you guys like it, and don't forget to leave me a review! :3 Thank you to all my new followers/favoriters(?) and reviews! You are all wonderful!

The day of the party arrived quickly. My parents were happy to see me going to a party willingly. I spun in a circle, looking at my reflection in the mirror. My dress was a strapless gown that was fitted tightly on top and gradually flowed down loosely at my feet. There was a slit up the right leg ending just above my knee to allow for more freedom of movement. The dress was a plum color with the bottom sparkling with small diamond-like gems. I wore a pair of matching flats. Since my dress went all the way to the floor, people probably wouldn't see my shoes anyway, so I chose comfort over fashion.

I had pulled my hair to the side and curled it slightly, creating an almost elegant side ponytail. Instead of an elastic holding it in place, bobby pins laced together to secure it and my mom insisted on giving me a jeweled headband to slide in my hair. She also put on a light layer of make-up. The coppery eyeshadow made the green in my eyes more noticeable, while the light coat of face powder lightened the appearance of my freckles. That, I frowned at, but accepted it because it made my mother happy to help me get dressed up. I couldn't bring myself to wash it off.

The twins had offered to pick up Haruhi and I, so I walked down the hall to wait in the kitchen for them. My parents had gone out for a date since I would be out anyway and they had a rare day off. I smiled at the thought and spun a strand of hair around my finger thoughtfully.

I was distracted when Dai lifted his head from his paws at my feet and growled at the door. He started barking and I heard a knock. I quickly stepped forward and looked out the peep-hole, seeing the twins exchanging nervous glances as they heard my dog. I smiled and turned to Dai.

"No." I said sternly. He quieted obediently, but his hackles were still raised. "Stay here. Behave yourself." He understood that I was leaving and deflated almost instantly. I ruffled his ears before grabbing my phone and opening the door a crack and slipping out. "Hey guys!" I said with a shy smile.

They blinked as they took in my appearance. "Hey Suzume." The softer spoken one said first. "You look great." The other one added after a moment of silence. I pulled my lower lip between my teeth nervously before giving a nervous grin.

"Thanks guys. You look pretty spiffy yourselves." They were wearing matching yellowish plaid vests over white button up shirts and black dress pants. They looked very nice.

"Thanks, Suzume!" They said together with a smirk. They both offered me an arm, and I tentatively accepted them. They led me to the limo, where the driver was standing patiently, holding the door open.

I muttered a thanks and a small smile to the driver, who bowed in response, before climbing into the car. The twins climbed in next, seating themselves on either side of me. We made it to Haruhi's house and, surprise, surprise, she was waiting outside of the apartment complex. She rushed into the limo before the twins could get out and look at her place.

The twins and I scooted over, so it was Twin A (I really had to learn their names…) me, Twin B, and Haruhi.

"Wow, Suzume. You look amazing!" Haruhi said as she glanced around Twin B. I rolled my eyes and grinned.

"You're looking pretty snazzy too, Haruhi. You're gonna have the girls drooling over you." She was wearing a brown suit with a blue striped undershirt and a purple tie. She sent me a playful glare.

"Jealous?" She said with a smirk. The twins blinked at each other at our exchange. Laughter bubbled from the two of us.

"You guys are really close, aren't you?" One of the twins asked. I looked at him and nodded, smiling fondly.

"Yeah, we've been best friends since we were young. We know just about everything about each other." Haruhi smiled at my words.

When we arrived at the ball, Haruhi offered me one arm, sending me a wink that caused me to giggle girlishly. I fluttered my eyelashes at her, pretending to swoon. We burst into a fit of giggles. The twins were uncharacteristically quiet, taking in our conversation with rapt attention. I couldn't bring myself to feel uncomfortable at showing some of my natural personality. It had been too long since Haruhi and I had been able to hang out without having to worry about homework.

We entered through a side door to avoid the mob of girls entering through the main doors. I grew nervous at all the people, but I was excited as well. The twins led us to the club room where the rest of the hosts were meeting us.

As soon as we entered the room, I was met with Honey launching himself at me and grabbing my hands, spinning us in a circle. "Suzu-chan, you look so pretty!" He said with a bright smile. I grinned down at him, but I could feel the blush forming on my cheeks.

"Thanks, Honey-senpai. You look adorable!" He was dressed in a cream colored suit that almost matched his hair and a big red bow on his neck. His outfit made his honeyed brown eyes looked even more innocent.

He brought his hands up to his face cutely. "Thanks!"

I took in the other hosts as well, and I had to say, they all cleaned up well. Tamaki was dressed in a white suit with a purple vest, a light pink button up shirt underneath. Kyoya was dressed in a black suit with a blue vest and purple tie. Mori had on a navy blue suit with a white button up underneath.

"Wow, you all look great." I said quietly. Unfortunately, everyone heard me, cooing and telling me how sweet and pretty I was. I flushed, but I couldn't help the smile that broke out on my face.

"Alright everyone. Time to get in our places." Kyoya said. He led us to the main staircase, telling us how to position ourselves. The twins were on one side, followed by Haruhi, myself, Tamaki in the center, then Kyoya, Honey and Mori.

When we first showed our faces, the girls cheered loudly, clapping and squealing excitedly. I smiled nervously as a few girls waved at me. I waved back. A few girls fixed me with angry glares, but I did my best to ignore them.

It only took a few minutes for Kyoya and Tamaki to welcome the girls to the party and get the music started. The twins approached Haruhi, who was eyeing the dancefloor with uncertainty.

"Come on, Haruhi, show some enthusiasm." The one on her left said. The other one nodded his head in agreement.

"I'm not really one for these sorts of things." She said with an annoyed sigh.

Kyoya chimed in next. "Well, while you're here, you might as well get something to eat. We have quite the spread." Haruhi perked up at his words.

"Is there fancy tuna?" She asked hopefully. The hosts froze, before Tamaki demanded that they call for fancy tuna. Kyoya moved off to make the phone call.

I chuckled and bumped her with my hip.

"Let's dance, Haruhi. Fancy tuna can wait." She gave me a small smile and bowed, offering me a hand. I accepted her hand and let her lead me to the dance floor.

I was just slightly taller than her, so it wasn't too hard to dance together. We laughed as we waltzed around the room. We only had minor fumbles, but seeing as we had both just learned it, I was pretty impressed.

Before long, Haruhi was swept away by a bold girl and I found myself standing off to the side. A smile graced my features as I took in all of the people dancing and having fun. "Care to dance?" I turned and saw Tamaki with a smile on his face, offering his hand to me.

I chuckled nervously. "Of course, Senpai." I accepted his hand, putting my other on his shoulder while his rested on my waist. We spun around gracefully. He led me flawlessly across the dance floor, weaving around other dancing pairs. Any time I would look down at my feet nervously, he would gently place his finger under my chin.

"You're dancing beautifully, just keep your eyes on me." I blushed slightly, but nodded. Before long, he was accosted by fangirls and my hands were tightly gripped by Honey.

"Dance with me next, Suzu-chan!" I laughed as he spun us around. While Tamaki's dancing was smooth and graceful, Honey's dancing was playful and boisterous. I had to stop after a shorter time than my dance with Tamaki because I was getting dizzy. We stopped at a pillar off to the side of the dance floor near the drinks and snacks.

I laughed merrily as I struggled to catch my breath. "Thank you for the dance, Honey-senpai. It was a lot of fun!" He lifted his hands in a cheer.

"Yay! I'm glad!" He heard some girls calling for him, and turned to wave. "Well, I'm off. Have fun Suzu-chan!" He waved as he ran away. I waved back and leaned against the pillar.

I got a moment of peace before Mori stepped in front of me. He held his arms out as if asking me to dance. I smiled shyly and nodded, taking his left hand in my right and placing my left hand on his shoulder as his right rested on my waist.

His dancing was very methodical. The steps were done perfectly. While he didn't outright smile, the few times I stole a glance at him, he seemed relaxed. He looked down at me once and the corner of his mouth turned up ever so slightly. When we finished our dance, He bowed to me and moved off to find Honey.

I saw Kyoya standing off to the side. I tilted my head and made my way over. In an unusually brave move, I stepped up to him and held out a hand. "Wanna dance, Kyoya-senpai?" I tried to hide the nervousness from my voice. He sent me a small smile.

"But of course, Suzume." He wasted no time in grasping my hand in his much larger one, pulling me close to him with the hand he placed on my waist. I gripped his shoulder as he led me across the floor.

He seemed to know this dance like the back of his hand, carrying on a conversation even as we danced. He surprisingly helped me calm down the most so far. He almost made the dance seem like child's play, even to me.

My final host-dance was with the twins. They were exuberant in their dancing, spinning and twirling me to each other as the dance went on. Laughs bubbled up from me constantly. The first couple of times they spun me, I was afraid I was going to fall, but the other twin always caught me before I even stumbled.

I was dancing with Kaoru (I asked the first time I danced with each twin) when he turned to look at something. I looked over and saw Kanako pulling Haruhi onto the dance floor. Kaoru turned back to face me and leaned down to whisper in my ear.

"Follow my lead." He whispered with a grin. I gave a nervous chuckle and nodded. He spun us in circles over to the side of the room while I saw Haruhi get snatched by Hikaru.

I soon found myself in a small side room where Haruhi was getting shoved into a changing area. At my confused look, the twins took turns explaining the situation to me.

"So, you're trying to get Kanako and this boy, Suzushima back together?" I asked. The boys nodded their heads. I hummed understandingly.

Haruhi stood from the chair where the twins were doing her make-up. I sent her a mischievous smirk.

"Wow, Haruhi. You actually look like a girl." She gave me an unamused glare. She wobbled in the shoes.

"My face feels heavy and I can't walk in these stupid shoes." She groaned. I chuckled, looking away innocently when she gave me another glare.

"Don't forget Haruhi, you only have 20 minutes before the party reaches it's climax." Kyoya warned. She sighed and made her way to the room where the boy was supposedly waiting.

"Come on, Suzu-chan! Let's go back to the party!" Honey grabbed my wrist and tugged me gently behind him. I smiled and let him pull me back to the dance floor.

We munched on some snacks while we waited for the big reveal. It didn't take long before the side doors were opened and everyone gathered out by the main area outside of the school. The hosts and I were all up on an upper level, with Kanako and her fiance standing down below.

"And now, we'll announce our queen of the night." One of the twins said into a microphone. "Congratulations Miss Kanako Kasugazaki!" Kanako jolted slightly in surprise, sending a shy smile to Suzushima.

"And for her reward, a kiss on the cheek from our king." The first twin continued. "Haruhi Fujioka will stand in for Tamaki." The other one finished. I turned to see Haruhi's reaction, laughing when she gave a 'nope. not happening' glare to the hosts.

"If you do it, I'll reduce your debt by one third." Kyoya said with a confident smirk as he wrote in his notebook.

Haruhi didn't even hesitate. "Well, it is just on the cheek." She stepped down to stand in front of Kanako. She gently grabbed her face, turning it slightly.

"Hey, you don't think this is Haru-chan's first kiss do you?" Honey asked innocently. I held a hand over my mouth to quiet my laughter as Tamaki freaked out.

He ran down the stairs to stop Haruhi, but slipped on something, causing him to fall and crash his hand into Haruhi's back. The force of the impact caused Haruhi to fall forward, accidently crashing her lips into Kanako's. They both reeled back with an embarrassed flush on their faces. Kanako looked up at her fiance fearfully, but he just chuckled awkwardly.

I made eye contact with Haruhi down below and wagged my eyebrows at her suggestively. She gave me a warning glare that I laughed off.

Maybe these guys would be good for me after all.
