As the weeks continued the hostess club continued to work hard practicing their routine. The more they worked on it the more smooth it became. Haruhi and Aiko even got more comfortable with lifted up by Elizabeth and Maria.

"Alright ladies good job!" Hana shouted after practice the day before the competition, "You have it down packed!"

"I stumbled a little though," said Haruhi.

"You did I didn't notice," said Hana, "Look you guys know the routine. You know what moves to make. That's got to count for something. You guys have come a long way since we first started. I know I've said this time and time again, but I think you've got a good shot at actually winning."

"It would be rather interesting that we could win after only a few weeks of practice vs. a highly skilled group that practices year round," said Belle.

"Yeah that would be the ultimate insult," said Kaiya with a smirk.

"Can we at least try to be good sports about this when it happens no matter what the circumstances," said Haruhi.

"That's a very mature attitude to have Ms. Fujioka," said Hana.

"Oh here you guys are," said Kaoru walking into the gym. Hikaru was trailing along behind him both with their arms filled with white boxes.

"What are these?" asked Haruhi running up to them.

"Your uniforms," said Hikaru looking at the box on the top of his pile. "Here," he said handing it to her. Haruhi looked and saw her name on it.

"Thank you," she said. Hikaru and Kaoru also started handing out the other boxes to their respective owners.

"You sure these are going to fit us?" asked Kaiya snidely.

"I don't know," said Hikaru, "We may have to adjust yours to fit up the extra pounds you've gained."

"You want me to lose some of those extra pounds?" asked Kaiya punching her hand.

"Look there's a door over there that leads to changing room," said Belle, "Let's go and change and see how they feel."

"Yes and afterwards lets do the routine with the uniforms so we know we can do it them on," said Hana.

"Right," said the hostess.

"So does everyone's uniform fit?" asked Kaoru once the girls all came out of changing room.

"Yeah I think so," said Haruhi.

"They feel nice," said Aiko.

"And they do feel like we can move around better in them," said Elaina.

"That's good to hear," said Hana, "Now let's try the routine. Elizabeth if you please?" Elizabeth nodded and switched on her music where her loud music beat started filling the room.

"Let's go!" Hana shouted, "5, 6, 7, 8...,"

"Yeah alright!" said Kaoru shouted as he and Hikaru watched.

"Not too bad!" Hikaru cheered.

"Thanks guys," said Haruhi once they were done.

"You guys are seriously going to kick butt tomorrow!" said Kaoru.

"That's what she said," said Kaiya.

"How do the uniforms work for you?" asked Hikaru.

"Great I think," said Elizabeth.

"Yeah a lot more easier to move around in," said Maria twirling around in her uniform.

"That is a good thing to have," said Hana, "So anyway let's call it quits for today so you all can go home and get some rest before tomorrow."

"Yes Ma'am," said the hostesses.

"So Elaina how are you doing?" Kaoru asked walking up to her as she gathered up her things.

"I'm okay," said Elaina, "I have to make sure I stretch my leg really good both before and after practice." Kaoru nodded and actually started rubbing his hand down her sore leg massaging it.

"That help at all?" he asked with a smirk.

"Maybe," said Elaina.

"Let's go Elaina," said Belle.

"Right coming," said Elaina, "See you tomorrow Kaoru." Kaoru surprised her by placing a kiss on her lips.

"See you tomorrow," he said, "I know you're going to good even if you don't win." Elaina blushed.

"Thanks," she said before hurrying after her sister.

"So looks like you did something right for a change," said Kaiya to Hikaru as she gathered up her stuff.

"I don't know. I think I still messed up when it came to you. It didn't help make your ass look smaller," said Hikaru, "But I guess even I can't help with that."

"Oh ha ha ha," said Kaiya.

"Owe!" Hikaru shouted as her gym bag came into contact with his head.

"Looks like I can't work miracle either," said Kaiya, "Your face still looks ridiculous." Hikaru groaned rubbing his head.

"You are so annoying," he muttered.

"Yeah and your always so pleasant," said Kaiya.

"Hey Hikaru we should get going don't you think?" called out Kaoru.

"Yeah I'm coming," said Hikaru running after his brother, throwing Kaiya a sneer as he ran past. Kaiya sneered back.

"Oh boy," said Haruhi the next day as she changed into her uniform.

"You know Haruhi," said Elizabeth, "Maybe after this we could use this uniforms for a cos play day."

"Maybe," said Haruhi.

"It would be a shame to let these uniforms go to waist," said Belle.

"We'll see. I don't want to worry about that today," said Haruhi, "I just want to get this thing over with. Once we're done then we can worry more about things like cos play days."

"You feeling nervous there pres?" asked Kaiya.

"Very much so," said Haruhi, "I still say this is stupid and pointless. We should have never agreed to this. It's too late now though. Let's go do this."

The seven girls all field out of the changing room into the gym where they were surprised to see it filled with people.

"Good god, it's like the whole schools here!" said Haruhi.

"They are," said Belle, "Kyoya-Sempi had flyers posted all over the school to announce this."

"Of course he did," said Haruhi. She was distracted with the sound of one another door opening as in walking in pep squad in a single file line in their golden uniforms. They all stopped together and snapped their fingers in their usual fashion. They looked like they were ready for war.

"This is not going to be good is it?" muttered Haruhi.

"Welcome everyone," she suddenly heard a voice call out. She looked towards the center of the gym and realized the chairman was standing there with a microphone, "This is truly exciting day to see two of our most popular clubs in a competition of rhythm, athletic and coordination."

"What's he doing?" asked Haruhi.

"He offered to be the announcer for today's event," said Belle.

"Why?" asked Haruhi, "How did he even find out?"

"Well we had to ask for permission first of all Haruhi," said Belle, "And that meant we had to ask him. He agreed and even offered to be the announcer."

"Oh I see," said Haruhi, "And when you say we do you mean…,"

"Kyoya-Sempi and myself," said Belle.

"Of course," said Haruhi.

"And before we begin I'd like to announce our special guest judges," said the chairman.

"Who is judging us?" asked Haruhi.

"The captain of the pep squad said she arranged it. She said she got some people outside of Ouran to agree to judge us," said Belle.

"Oh really, I wonder who she got," said Haruhi. Suddenly all of the lights went off and three spot lights appeared.

"Lobelia,"

"Lobelia"

"Lobelia"

"Oh no!" Haruhi moaned as she saw the three members of the Zuka club standing in the spotlight, "She got them?!"

"Don't worry," said Hana walking up next to the girls in her usual couch outfit, "I'm sure these girls are going to be fair."

"Fair Maiden," said Benio startling Haruhi as she appeared in front of her with Chizuru and Hinako, "I must say this is a real honor to watch you perform in such a wonderful even and in such an attractive outfit."

"Uh thanks," said Haruhi.

"Doesn't she look absolutely charming in this uniform young lady?"

"Positively darling!" said Chizuru.

"Almost like a little doll!" said Hinako.

"Uh why are these girls trying to kill Haruhi?" Elizabeth as the three Zuka girls circled around her, hugging her tightly.

"Get your hands off of my Haruhi!" Tamaki shouted jumping into the pile out of nowhere and struggling to pull Haruhi out of the circle.

"Oh it's you," Benio sneered, "Yes I heard you tricked our fair maiden into becoming yours."

"How dare you brainwash her!" said Hinako.

"Poor dear being tricked like that," said Chizuru.

"Hold on a minute!" said Haruhi pushing herself away from the Zuka club, "Tamaki-Sempi didn't trick me into anything! I wanted to be with him on my own! I would hope you would respect that."

"Is that so?" said Benio slightly bitter.

"Now then if our judges would take their seats we could begin," They all heard the Ouran Chairman announce.

"Well good luck to you and your group fair maiden," said Benio as she and her club headed towards the special judge's table.

"You can do it Haruhi I know it!" Tamaki said kissing her.

"Thanks Tamaki-Sempi," said Haruhi.

"What was that all about?" asked Elaina, "You and the Zuka club?"

"We kind of have a history," said Haruhi.

"Is it going to be a problem Haruhi?" Belle asked.

"I don't know," said Haruhi. As far as she could tell the Zuka club could either vote for her out their apparent attraction towards her or they could vote against her over jealousy for her reaming at Ouran and now being in a relationship with Tamaki, "Looks let's just go out there and do our best okay?"

"Good idea Miss President," said Belle. Each girl grabbed each other's hands and squeezed them. This was what they had been working towards.
