Ready to celebrate their victory with a delicious hot pot dinner Haruhi unlocked her apartment door only to find it was already unlocked. She opened the door slowly in case there were thieves, only to find that her fellow host club members' parents were there sitting rather impatiently. Her father came out of his room dressed as a man which was a rare sight to everyone including Haruhi. She saw him dress as a man to her mother's funeral and a few times after that but he never bothered to dress up as a man for guests. "Hello my darling daughter! Daddy opened the door for your friends' parents...who...want you to marry their sons instead of Neko - Chan..." Ranka's face went apologetic in hurry as he got out of their way and let them all into the living room where they were.

"Miss Fujioka this is an outrage! You could be marrying my son Kyoya who shares the same intellect as you and both of you have high goals worthy of people beyond your age. Why would you ever want to marry this one who clings to darkness and practices who knows what as a hobby?" Mr. Ootori looked at his son and spoke again, "Kyoya didn't you tell me how incredibly smart and attractive you found her. You even told me you were thinking about taking her as your future wife."

"Father I did say that and I still feel she is very attractive to this day and she a mind that is alike to my own which makes her even more attractive. However, if she does not want me then I will not pursue. I want to love and be loved in return, and it is clear by her engagement that she doesn't love me, but Nekozawa - Senpai." He smiled at Haruhi who was grateful for his words but had the aching feeling that Nekozawa wasn't too happy to know his friend wanted to marry his fiancé. Also she knew the conversation was not even close to being over as she heard Mr. Suoh get up to speak.

"Well, since the Ootori boy is out, Tamaki didn't you say that you absolutely adore Haruhi and you are always going on about how cute she is. I agree with you of course but I agree from a potential Father in law point of view. She would make a fine match for you and you seem your happiest around her. I know your grandmother can be quite cruel but she agreed to be more lenient if you married Miss Fujioka over here. She even said she would let you visit your mother." Tamaki's father smiled genuinely knowing that's what Tamaki wants more than anything but his smile quickly faded when faced with his son's apologetic smile.

"I'm sorry father but I will not marry Haruhi. Even though I would love more than anything in the entire world to see mother again and play the piano for her, if it isn't a marriage that she wants I won't go through with it. Even if you forced me up to the alter with her I wouldn't say 'I do' but instead I would say 'I do not' I know of grandmother's cruelty and of why but I will somehow someway I will face that with my own strength as I have always since the day I was born. Haruhi is very dear to me that's true and she is incredibly cute but I see her nothing more than an adorable friend who I can trust with all my heart. I will not marry her if she doesn't want me to." Tamaki smiled and looked at Haruhi and gave her a big hug and a kiss on her forehead.

"Honey and Mori do you feel the same as your friends do?" Honey's dad asked.

Honey answered first with a half frown half smile, holding his Usa - Chan. "No not really." Haruhi whipped her head around to look at Honey in shock. "I love Haru - Chan lots and lots but it's more of I think of her as a younger sister. I feel over protective of her. I think she is really cute, kind, smart, and a lot of other nice things but I love her as if I'm her older brother." He smiled and at his dad and looked up at his cousin. "Takeshi what about you?"

"I think of her the same as Kyoya does. She is smart, and attractive, and she thinks of others before herself. I think she would make a great wife and I sometimes found myself thinking if she were mine what would happen. Even with all that I also agree with Tamaki and Kyoya, if she doesn't want to marry me then I will not have her and I will think of her how Mitsukuni thinks of her. I will protect her as an older brother protecting his younger sister." He smiled slightly and patted Haruhi on the head.

"Fine then I have no further arguments for the two of you. Mrs. Hitachiin it's your turn or are you reconsidering?"

"Not on your life. Hikaru, Kaoru come here darlings." The twins did as they were told and as she was about to speak they interrupted her.

"Mother..." Kaoru started.

"...We love Haruhi with all our heart..." Hikaru continued.

"...She is also the only one in the entire world that can tell us apart. Not even you can do that..."

"...But there are two of us and one of her..."

"...If one of us has her the other will be jealous..."

"...And we both are very happy with our friendship the way it is now..."

"...She is our best friend and we will not marry her just because you want us to. If she wanted to marry one of us it would be different but she has chosen who she wants to marry, and we plan to design her a wedding dress that will rival three lines of your clothing designs." They both said with smiling faces.

"Why the nerve of you boys! Three lines of my clothing designs? Who do you think you're talking to!? I should teach you a lesson!" She shouted in anger but quickly stopped hearing laughing to the left of her. "Mr. Ootori what is it that you find so funny?"

"I do apologize but I find it hysterical that you aren't mad at them for the refusal but that they said they would surpass you. Do you realize what the rest of us would do just to see our children surpass us? It seems to me that you have been over seas doing designer shows for too long. A mere first year in high school was able to tell your boys apart in weeks while you still can't tell which of them is Hikaru or Kaoru. Can you even begin to imagine what that must feel like to them? Yet they love you and respect you just the same. They even want to pursue the same career choice as you, and not out of obligation but out of pure enjoyment. It seems to me that they have already surpassed you, and not only in clothing but in manners and dignity as well." Mr. Ootori smiled as well as the rest of the other parents, and upon seeing this The Twins' mother sat down defeated.

"I'm so sorry boys...I guess I haven't been spending enough time with you." She said with a defeated look.

"Mr. Ootori would you kindly not talk to our mother like that? She may not be able to tell us apart but she is still our mother and taught us in the little free time she had all the colors you can put on a dress, the way to cut it and the different patterns you can come up with. She raised us when she was given time to raise us as I am sure you understand about needing to be away for business as I'm sure any of you can understand. However, our mother HAS to go overseas not because she wants to but because there are a lot of people who appreciate the beautiful clothes she makes and she enjoys seeing their faces as she comes up with a new clothing design."

"That...was unexpected Hikaru...or are you Kaoru? I'm sorry..." Hikaru and Kaoru looked at each other, smiled, and back at Haruhi.

"Haruhi how about you tell her if she got it right on the first guess." She looked at their mother and nodded telling the truth, and their mother smiled almost to the point of tears until Ranka interrupted.

"Well I am sorry that there was a little bit of drama but I assume all of you have come to the same decision?" He mischievously smiled at the host club members and then their parents.

Mr. Ootori stood up and cleared his throat, "Very well...you said I handle security and keep an eye on the budget correct?" Ranka nodded.

Mr. Suoh stood up, "And I handle decorations and floral arrangements." Again he nodded.

Honey's father stood up, "I will handle the food and the after party isn't that right?" Ranka smiled and nodded.

Mrs. Hitachiin stood and walked towards her boys, "And we will handle the designs of the clothing and help Mr. Suoh with decorations." Ranka nodded.

"Thank you all so much for coming over together." Ranka said excitedly and looked over to the host club members and all of their jaws were dropped in shock. "Confused? Well all of them gave me rather angry phone calls about them wanting their sons to marry you Haruhi so I made a very large bet...I'm sorry I know how you don't like that."

Trying to suppress her anger and shock she calmly asked, "And what if I may ask, was the bet you made?"

"I asked all of them to come over together knowing you had that thing planned today with that horrible child and when I got all of them here together, after getting them to stop arguing of course, I bet that if just one of their sons jumps at the opportunity or even says they will think about it, that I will cancel your engagement to Neko - chan. However, if neither one of their sons agrees and in facts refuses like I was sure they would then they would have to help with the wedding with jobs I assign them and they mustn't have any complaints about it. Surprisingly enough each one of them was sure that their sons would choose you without considering your feelings." He smiled at her and the rest of the host club. "Thank you everyone you've been a great help to solve a problem I've been stressed out over for about a week now."

Still in complete shock she looked at the parents and back at her father. "Umm...I don't know whether to be mad or glad...umm what are you handling at my wedding?"

"Well I will do your hair and makeup and then the most important job of all...Walking my baby girl down the aisle to her grown up future. I do expect grandkids you know...no rush...but seriously I want adorable ones!" He giggle and the other parents laughed and shortly after the other host club members joined in finding it funny not only Ranka's words but that they were all tricked by Haruhi's father of all people.
