A/N: I still don't own Ouran. And since my friends were pestering me for an appearance (and I had to re-write half of my chapter…) they're in here. And I don't own songs or book titles!

"Are you certain its okay for me to go in this?" I called out of the bathroom stall. I had a flute recital this evening and wouldn't have time to change after club. I usually went in school uniform because it was just simpler that way. I was instead wearing a black dress that was v-necked in the front and held together by a decorative pin thing. I had on a silver ring which matched the pendant that was hanging from a black cord around my neck.

"Yes I'm sure! I rarely wear my uniform!" Maddy shouted back.

"Yeah, but then its tee shirts and jeans," I mumbled as I walked out, donning my flats. I quickly put my uniform away as she looked over everything. She then took out her curler with an evil glint in her eyes. I allowed her to put on makeup and do my hair.

When she finally consented to let me leave I had worked myself into a walking ball of stress. The last thing I needed tonight was stress though! We opened the door and were greeted, as always, with a chorus of welcomes. I giggled for some reason. Maddy gave me a funny look and the giggle turned to a laugh.

"What's wrong Becca?" Tamaki asked. At this point I completely lost it. I turned pink, then red, and then purple. Maddy egged me on by telling me to breathe every once and a while, which caused me to burst into yet another fit of laughter.

Finally I calmed down enough to not die of laughter every time someone said something. I quietly walked over to Mori-senpai. I could feel many pairs of eyes watching me. I sat down silently. Mori smiled a little and turned away from Hunny-senpai.

"Hey senpai!" I greeted him. "How're you?"

"MMMM" was all the response I got. I smiled. "Please don't start laughing again. It looked, and sounded, painful." He added.

"Oh! You mean when I squeak? Oh that doesn't hurt at all! And trust me; laughing is no longer painful for me. It stopped hurting a while ago! Have you ever laughed so hard it hurt senpai?"

"Once or twice with the club. I like your dress." He whispered. Now, I can understand talking in a quiet voice, but whispering was a little extreme. I smiled and felt a blush rising to my cheeks.

"Th-thank you!" we sat there and talked for a while longer when he asked what I was so dressed up for. I chuckled and explained about my flute recital.

"Oh. I hope you do well!"

"Yeah. I'll be right back senpai." I said. I motioned to Maddy to head to the restroom so we could talk. I slipped off my flats and ran across the hall to the restroom. We got there at almost the same timeand Maddy instantly began questioning me.

"What's wrong? Did he say something that made you uncomfortable? WHAT'S GOING ON?"

"Nothing is wrong. I just wanted to consult with you before I invited him to my recital! I'm fine maddy, don't worry! They wouldn't say anything bad about us! At least not to our faces!"

"Do it! Be brave and bold! Go for it! Be happy! Don't worry!" she began to sing. I joined in and we walked out of the restroom belting the song at the top of our lungs. She leaned over to me and whispered, as I continued to sing, "Can Kyoya come too?" I nodded as she began to sing again.

Mori's POV

She was so bright and bubbly it was hard to not smile all the time with her. I found myself talking more often than not with her and smiling all the time. Mitskuni could see the difference too. He liked Becca and Maddy very much. Becca didn't seem to like him, but he still liked her all the same. Maddy on the other hand absolutely loved spending time with him.

She left really quickly after I asked about why she was dressed up, so I was afraid I had said something I shouldn't have. She came back a few moments later looking similar to the way the girl who had confessed her feelings for me last year had looked. I wasn't sure I wanted to hear what she had to say. It could all be ruined by what she said.

"Uh, senpai?" she asked when she sat down. She was fidgeting with the collar of her dress and looking down at our feet. "Will…. Will… will you, errr, would you like to… to come…. "She took a deep breath "Wouldyouliketocometomyrecital?" she said, running her words together.

"What? I couldn't understand you I'm sorry,"

"Would you like to come to my flute recital this evening?" she asked hopefully. How could I not say yes? "Uh Kyoya-senpai might be coming too. If he wants because Maddy's going to invite him!" She looked up to my face. I smiled. "of course, I'd love do come." I leaned over and gave her a quick hug. She seemed startled so I backed away very quickly. I looked at her and saw her face was bright red. But she was smiling the whole time. I moved a little closer to where I had been, Becca moved closer so the gap between us was no larger than it had been before. Perhaps she had been startled because it was so unusual for anyone but her sister to hug her. It was strange how different they looked yet they were still twins. But at the same time they were very similar to Hikaru and Kaoru, with whom Maddy was sitting. They finished each other's thoughts, or at least that's what the twins said, said the same exact thing at the exact same time, which could never be rehearsed t be that question specific. Birthday, maybe, but never where Kyoya's glasses were. Oh well.

A little while later Becca sat up straight as a board and turned and glared at the couch. "Maddy, Hikaru, Kaoru LEAVE US ALONE! Do we bother you? No we do not. You need to go now."

"Dang! How'd she know that we were here?" I heard a voice say from behind the couch. It was one of the twins. She was good. I hadn't even seen them walk over here.

"I don't know, but she's always been able to do that so, ya know, I like to mess with her and do stuff like that!" Maddy giggled. "That and I needed to ask her something."

"He said yes Maddy-chan. Now go."

I couldn't help myself. I smiled and leaned over the couch. "Olease go you three. We don't particulualy enjoy people pestering us."

"Okay, see you later sempai." Maddy said with a chuckle. She got up and went back to the twins table, the twins following the whole time. I chuckled. She had them around her pinky, which for some reason didn't surprise me.

"Oh Maddy-chan, why must you always pester me?" Becca asked herself. "Sorry about that senpai. Maddy likes to show off to her friends how I can always tell when someone other than whom I am with is around. I'm used to it, but that was the first time she's done that since we came to Japan. She hasn't had any friends to show off to since we got here though." She gave a half-hearted chuckle and slumped back on the couch "I'm really nervous now!" she exclaimed suddenly.

""About what?"

"My recital."

"Oh." It was an unusually short response. Normally I got more than a two word explanation, sometimes she would start telling me a story and then would get off track because something that she said reminded her of some random fact that she knew. Her stories were often long winded, but were always the highlight of my day. We sat there until it was time to leave. We talked some small talk but never any big important subjects, like friends here or friends at home or what her family is like or anything like that.

Becca's POV

Perhaps I weirded him out or something with the twins. Maybe that's why he looked at me funny. Or maybe it was because I wasn't talking as much as I normally did or maybe because I was literally fingering through my recital pieces over and over again so as to practice before the recital without losing my lip. Or maybe… too many or maybe's. It doesn't matter now. We were heading over to where Maddy was speaking with Kyoya.

"….Please?" she asked. I wasn't paying attention before that but I had gotten the idea. She was asking him to come.

"Alright. We'll take my ride though." He said. I should have told her no. He creeps me out and having him in the audience would just make it worse ugh.

We got into the "ride". It was a very, very nice limo. I sat there, still fingering through my pieces. Then I realized two things. I didn't need to be there for another hour and a half, but Maddy said I wouldn't have time to change…. And that we were going towards the airport.

"Uh, Maddyyyyyyy? Why are we going to the airport?"

"Becauuuse. You'll see in a few minutes."

When we got there I saw two faces that I hadn't thought I'd see until summer break. Emily and Jaycherie. I smiled and jumped out of the limo the instant it stopped. I ran into them and showered them with hugs. "It's sooooo great to see you! Why are you here? Aren't you missing school? And if you are LUCKY! OH MY GOSH I'VE MISSED YOU!"

Maddy, Kyoya, and Mori all stepped out and we began packing their bags in the back. We were laughing and having a good time. Good enough that I forgot about my stress. "Oh yeah! I'm gonna be a good hostess and introduce everyone!" I exclaimed after we were all back in the limo. "Uhh, Emily this is Kyoya Ootori. We all call him Kyoya-senpai because he's our upperclassman. Jaycherie, Kyoya-senpai. Kyoya-senpai, Jaycehrie. Uhhh Jaycherie, this is Takashi Morinozuka, we call him Mori-senpai. Emily, Mori-senpai. Mori-senpai, Emily. And if any of you four don't know who Maddy and I are, I will inform the driver that we need to stop at the nearest insane asylum." I laughed.

"No, Becca-nointel, you need to be checked in there!" Emily said, using a nickname that really really pissed me off. They came up with it as a pun off of Becca-nii. So now when they really want to get my goat they call me Becca-nointel. Which stands for no intelligence.

"EEEA" I exclaimed, sticking my tongue out at her. Jaycherie and Maddy laughed and Kyoya and Mori acted as if they either wanted it to end or they just didn't know how to react.

"Alright! Calm down everyone." Maddy said about a block away from the place where my recital was. "We're going to play heartbeat!"

"YAY!" I shouted. She gave me 'the look' and I closed my eyes and held out both hands, fully expecting hands to come around. I opened my left eye and saw everyone but Maddy looking at me like I was crazy. I had forgotten that not everyone knew how to play heartbeat. "Okay, everyone put their hands out" They followed my instruction. "Now grab the person to your lefts hand. Got that? Good. Now when your right hand is squeezed, squeeze your left."

We played until it was time for me to leave. I rushed inside and warmed. I had to lead the group on and then play last. I was nervous. It was an honor to play last if you ask me. You had to be able to WOW the crowd. I gave Maddy one last hug and went inside.

Kyoya's POV

The new game Maddy had made us play was childish, but I must admit it was calming. I could barely concentrate though. Maddy's hand was small in mine, but it felt good to hold. I looked over at her. Her eyes were riveted on Becca. As the final note rang out crystal clear, I saw a tear run down her face. Without thinking I wiped it away. She looked over at me a little startled, but the she siled. She stood up and whooped for her 'sister', I pushed my glasses up. What was I going to do with myself? My feelings for her were more than just professional, as Mori's were for Becca. Maddy actually talked to me, unlike our other customers who squealed and doled out compliments. On our way backstage I saw Maddy run up and hug Becca and I smiled. Once again I thought to myself "What am I going to do?"

As we headed back out to the car, Maddy and Becca walked arm in arm. Maddy could not stop singing Becca's praises. I had somewhat of a feeling that this is what they did with each other. Whenever they had an event, even if no one liked it they would always have that one person that would love it no matter what. I wish I had that but then again, maybe not with my family. With my friends I had that, I know they would stand by me. I shook my head, I was thinking too much again.

Becca's POV

Maddy was going on about how well I did. I was trying to make her shut up, but I couldn't get her to. Nor could I get a word in edgewise about my mistakes. She wouldn't SHUT UP! Finally I snapped. "PLEASE STOP!" I screeched at the top of my lungs. Kyoya looked at me as if I was insane.

"She was just being kind and giving you praise." He growled.

"I don't want praise! I want a right and proper critique from someone who is not biased. Like you Kyoya. You could just examine it from a professional standpoint!"

He smiled,pushed up his glasses and chuckled. "It was a moving performance. You did very well."

Thank you." I said very uppity. Even if I had asked him to critique, I didn't want praise; I wanted to hear something bad. "There had to have been soething!"

"Not a thing" he smiled evilly.

"Becca-nii why do you think there always has to be something bad?" Maddy asked. She wasn't trying to sound whiny, I know this, but it was as close to whining as she would ever get. It annoyed me severly.

"Your tone was a little faulty at the end" Mori said after a few moments of silence. Maddy and Kyoya looked at him angrily as if all that they'd worked at had been ruined. I looked at him and smiled. He was someone I could respect and trust. He had also given me the critique I wanted.

"Thank you" I said emphaticly. I meant it this time. I felt that his one critique was worth two fold what their praise had been. His meant that he was paying attention through both pieces, enough to realize that my tone wasn't up to par.

The ride home was quiet. So quiet I wanted to scream. The silence is what kills me during tests. "no talking" UGH!. It's so annoying. I would do much better on tests if there was noise I find the silence the most distracting thing. When we were about halfway home, I started one of the stupidest songs known to man. Caramelldansen. I danced the dance and sang the song. Maddy, Emily, and Jaycherie all joined in and Kyoya and Mori laughed. When we got home we all (Maddy, Emily, Jaycherie and I) bade them goodnight and told them that we would see them tomorrow.

ALRIGHT! It took me like three days to type this (but the first two I only typed five minutes…. *Shrugs*) anyway, you should look up caramelldansen if you don't know it. And again sorry if they're out of character….. KYOYA isn't my fault if he is. Maddy wrote his section. It's actually Becca typing. It took so long because I just got ungrounded…. Then grounded again so I'm sneaking on….. Hopefully the next one will come out sooner!
