This is a chapter I've been looking forward to, so I sincerely hope everyone enjoys the fluff! I'll balance it out with an angsty chapter next time, promise!

Disclaimer: None of the Host Club members are owned by me, and neither is the game, Have You Met...?. That game is owned by the creators of How I Met Your Mother. Enjoy!

(Author's POV)

"We're…off to see the Wizard! The wonderful Wizard of Oz! We hear he is a hell of a wiz if ever a wiz there was. If ever, if ever a wiz there was, the Wizard of Oz is one because. Because, because, because, because, because…! Because of the wonderful things he does!" Tamaki and Mackenzie sang obnoxiously for the hundredth time since we had gotten in the limo.

"Sam, why'd you show him the Wizard of Oz?" Emily asked, stuck between singing along and mild irritation.

"He wouldn't stop bothering me until I showed him another American movie, and I've only received the boxes containing any movies considered Classics or made before the 21st century," Sam explained, covering both Mackenzie's and Tamaki's mouth.

"Well, it was either the Wizard of Oz or Annie, and we all know Tamaki would be singing The Sun'll Come Out Tomorrow, if I had shown him that," Sam pointed out, pouting slightly.

"You got four boxes full of movies, and you only let him watch one musical?" Brittany asked, glaring at Sam. She held her hands up in surrender.

"You know I'm protective of my movie collection," Sam lamely defended herself. "Besides, the song's only annoying because he and Kenz are repeatedly singing it loud and off-key."

"What about Cyrano de Bergerac? Tamaki would like that, probably," Emily asked.

"He saw that with me before we left. He wouldn't stop trying to serenade me after that," the red head replied.

After fifteen minutes of bickering over what movie Tamaki should've watched, the group finally arrived at the faire. There, the rest of the Host Club met Tamaki and the Americans just inside the front gate.

Immediately, Tamaki was hopping up and down next to Mackenzie. "C'mon, Mommy! Let's go try some of the food!" Tamaki cheered, grabbing Kenzie's wrist and dragging her in the direction the smell of food was coming from.

"Well, there goes my date," Sam sighed, looking and sounding indifferent. She turned towards Mori, Honey, and Haruhi, asking if she could walk with them for the evening.

Mori nodded, and Honey pulled Sam forward a few steps before jumping towards the taller boy. Haruhi smiled nervously at the other girl. Sam smiled back, bumping shoulders with the short-haired brunette and laughing.

They went wandering off together, with Mori giving Honey a piggyback ride and the two girls walking next to each other, towards some stands selling toys and other little trinkets.

"Brittany, I'm not one for games or rides. Would you mind joining me for a stroll around the faire?" Kyoya addressed his fiancé, directing his full attention to her, though he still clutched his notebook in his left hand.

"I don't see why not." She shrugged, looped her arm with Kyoya's free one, and they began their stroll, sticking to the outside of the faire grounds.

"Hey, Emily," Kaoru wrapped an arm around her shoulders and leaned forward slightly to be able to look her in the eyes.

"Do you wanna come play some carnival games with us?" Hikaru finished, wrapping an arm around her waist.

"Um, sure," Emily agreed, hiding a blush from Kaoru's gaze. The twins grinned, and nearly ended up dragging Emily towards the games, but she managed to move her feet fast enough to match their pace.

And just like that, the group was broken up for the night, each member wondering what was to come.

(Mackenzie's POV)

Tamaki dragged me to the food tent like a child dragging their mother to an ice cream truck. The excitement in his eyes never ceased.

"What sounds good?" he asked, violet eyes skimming through the menu. I answered though I didn't think he was talking to me.

"Do they have funnel cake?" I asked, a little winded.

"They do!" Tamaki cheered, making me jump, before he rushed to buy some for us.

Finally sitting down, I caught my breath before focusing on a piece of funnel cake in front of me.

"Say 'ah'!" Tamaki instructed, flashing me a wide grin he used on the ladies at the Host Club. With a deep blush growing across my cheeks, I opened my mouth and watched Tamaki gingerly place the piece of desert in my mouth, a blush spreading over his cheeks and neck as well.

I smiled as I ate the piece he had given me, and then he offered another one to me. Tamaki had gone from a ball of energy to something he never turned into with other girls, a bashful, unsure guy. It was endearing, and kind of funny, but I somehow managed to refrain from laughing.

He continued feeding me pieces of funnel cake until I raised a hand out to stop him. Tamaki popped the piece into his own mouth, and smiled again.

"You don't need to feed me, you know. I appreciate the gesture, flashing a smile of my own. The blonde nodded, breaking off another piece to pop in his mouth.

"What game looks fun to you, Emily?" Kaoru asked, his eyes never having left Emily as they walked. Neither had his arm, which was still wrapped tight around Em's shoulders long after Hikaru had removed his arm. Emily's eyes couldn't seem to look away from Kaoru's, causing a delay in her esponse.

"Th-The ring toss g-game looks…. fun," she couldn't help but stammer out. Kaoru grinned at her, leading towards the game, with Hikaru right beside them.

At the stand, Hikaru struck up a conversation with the owner while paying for the rings to play. Kaoru turned to look at Emily head on, finally removing his arm.

"So, um, well….." Emily searched her mind for something to talk about, but she kept drawing a blank.

Kaoru grinned, and for once, it looked sincere. "I saw you reading something the other day. You seemed really into it. What were you reading?"

"Oh, um, the Percy Jackson series. It's about a modern demigod named Percy, and I'm on the fourth book. Mackenzie and Sam recommended it to me," Emily answered.

Kaoru filed away Emily's sudden calmness when she talked about the Percy Jackson series. She didn't mumble, stutter, and she wasn't at a loss for words. Maybe there were other things she could talk about without stammering or mumbling.

"Really? So, tell me more about this Percy," he asked eagerly.

"Well, the series starts when he's twelve and he's suddenly accused of stealing Zeus's master bolt," Emily started. "To get back the bot and prevent war, Percy goes on a quest with a daughter of Athena named Annabeth and a satyr named Grover. He's my favorite. Anyways…."

Hikaru took notice of the growing attraction between his brother and his fiancé as they continued talking. True, he had feelings for Haruhi, but something about this irked him. Not that he really felt that way about Emily, instead it was more of, he was becoming fearful of what the outcome night be if the attraction grew and Kaoru did not come to his senses.

"Here, Emily," Hikaru said, a cocky smile spreading across his lips.

"Th-Thanks, Hikaru." Emily gave him a small smile of gratitude, while Kaoru gave his twin a glare of jealously, forgetting who Emily was engaged to for a brief moment.

Brittany and Kyoya struggled to have a conversation of their own during their stroll. Between the screams coming from the rides and sounds of the games and various overlapping conversations, they didn't want to yell over everything else.

Finding their way to a distant bench, the ruckus of the faire was dimmed to a distant roar. Despite their original intentions of trying to have a conversation, they remained silent for quite a while.

"Brittany," Kyoya started, gaining attention from the brunette on his arm. "How come you and Sam don't swoon over us like the other girls?" He asked.

"What do you mean?" She asked, sounding slightly offended.

"Emily obviously has a thing for one of the twins, and Mackenzie and Tamaki are always gawking at each other," he elaborated. "You and Sam seem like you couldn't care less."

"Oh, I see. You're trying to bribe me into acting like the other girls for some sort of money gain?" Brittany caught on. Kyoya just blinked, hiding behind the glare in his glasses from the festival's bright lights.

"Sam's not one to be impressed easily by compliments and attention, and I know you've said romantic bullshit to other girls. I also know your sweet nothings don't have any intentions," she answered his original question.

"That is not true, I-"

Brittany interrupted him, "Besides drawing in more customers, I know you have no other intentions by whispering sweet nothings to a customer. I've already figured you don't do a thing unless you can benefit from it in some way, and that includes any and all things involving the Host Club.

"You and Sam are similar in one way, actually. She can be a good flirt, if and when she wants to be, but that rarely happens. The difference is, she's genuine to other people unless they're bugging her friends, and Sam knows, like me, that you only do things you benefit from."

"To be frank, you are the only one I can have a conversation with. Emily and Mackenzie aren't interested in talking to me, and Sam tends to act too hostile to hold up a conversation for long," Kyoya stated, his eyes trained to a spot ahead of them, and a slender finger tapping his chin.

"Sam acts hostile to you because she doesn't like you. She thinks you need to be taken down a peg," Brittany said, chuckling a bit. Kyoya looked down at her, for he was inch or two taller than her. "Overall, she has an indifferent exterior. Though, there are occasions when she acts like a complete child."

Meanwhile, across the grounds, Sam was jumping up and down as she clung to Haruhi, squealing.

"Look! There she is!" Sam hissed lowly. "There's Ruri!" She pointed at the dark-haired girl dressed in a plain white dress shirt, a pleated blue skirt that ended at her knees, and a heavy blue coat over it all. She wore white sneakers on her feet, and carried a small white handbag.

Ruri had stopped at a vendor selling statuettes, and Sam began to pull Haruhi closer, but the brunette fought against her.

"She's not supposed to know I'm a girl. She's a regular at the Host Club," Haruhi protested. Sam pretended not to listen.

"She's your regular. Now, we're going to play a ripped-off game I like to call, Have You Met Haruhi?" Sam responded, pulling the younger girl closer to Ruri. "You look beautiful, and you are going to talk to her."

The two stopped next to Ruri, and Sam tapped the girl's shoulder. When she looked up, Sam asked, "Have… you met Haruhi?"

Sam set Haruhi next to her crush, and then the red head disappeared back into the crowd, heading back over to Mori and Honey. She smiled devilishly at the tall host, who calmly raised an eyebrow at the girl in response.

"Just putting Haruhi on the spot," Sam stated, throwing a thumb over her shoulder to point back at Haruhi and Ruri. She flashed her evil smile again, and then joined Honey at a stand selling some old desert cookbooks.

"Here, help me find a good recipe," Sam told Honey, the two of them flipping through a giant cookbook Honey had just picked up. "We'll need a good one for Em's cooking trial in the next few days."

(Mackenzie's POV)

Tamaki and I had sat talking for a long time, even long after we finished the funnel cake. Finally, we realized how late it was, and rose to head back to the entrance to meet up with everyone else.

After minutes of standing there, and not seeing anyone, I called Sam, shivering in the cold as I waited for her to pick up.

"You gonna hate us," Sam said, right off the bat. My eyebrows scrunched together.

"Why….?" I asked, frowning.

There was chatter on the other end, and Sam snapping at one of the twins in annoyance. Then she came back, saying sheepishly, "We took the limo."

I blinked, processing the sentence before it hit me. "You left us!? Why?"

"There's really no excuse. I don't know about the others, but I forgot."

"You forgot about your fiancé and your best friend?" I asked, narrowing my eyes, though she couldn't see me.

"No." Sam sounded apologetic, and I could feel her wince away from my tone. "I forgot about my fiancé, and then the twins started to get antsy because they had grown bored, and Honey got a little crabby, waiting. The limo came around, I was busy helping Emily keep the twins in one spot, and then I forgot about you."

I huffed, watching my breath cloud outwards in the stale night air. "Well, can you turn around? How are we supposed to get home?"

"Kyoya says it's not a far walk. Seven, ten minutes, tops… I don't trust him, but I saw a bus stop just a little down the way from the faire grounds yesterday. You could catch a bus."

"Fine. See you soon," I gave in. I ended the call before the red head could reply, and turned to Tamaki, stuffing my phone and hand in my coat pocket. "Come on, they ditched us. We'll have to walk."

Tamaki smiled, falling into the step next to me as we headed down sidewalk. "It's a beautiful night," he commented. I nodded, but didn't respond.

As we walked home under the moonlight, our scarves wrapped tightly around our necks and chins, our hands were intertwined, swinging slightly as we moved. The moon and stars were out that night, and only a few clouds drifting by, obstructed the view.

"They don't compare to your beauty, Mackenzie," Tamaki commented sweetly, catching my eyes looking at the stars above. I blushed, smiling and looking at my feet.

"You say that to all the girls," I said. "How do I know you mean it?"

He stopped suddenly, turning me toward him, and he gazed into my eyes. Stroking my cheek gently, he leaned in until his lips brushed mine. They were soft, and stomach fluttered with butterflies as he kissed me again, this time more deeply.

Leaning away, he continued caressing my face. "Does that answer your question?" He asked softly.

I chuckled, "It'll take more than that to prove it to me, Host King." I continued walking, pulling him along as he jogged a littler to catch up.

"I'll prove it to you, Mackenzie, princess. I swear I will!" He proclaimed. I giggled, pecking his cheek and rolling my eyes at his theatrics.

"Sure, Romeo," I replied.

Please read & review, and let's all hope the next chapter comes out soon, 'cause even I don't know when that'll be. Have a wonderful day!
