Turning Ouran upside down. Chapter 12- The 50's sock hop!
"And he said you made that in three minutes?" she asked.
"Two actually." I answer grinning my cat grin.
"Amazing. Would you like to help me pick out the host club's costumes for this week? Along with yours? Yes I did have that placed in the store you bought it from." she said smiling back.
"Sure, and thank you it fit perfectly." I say.
"It's not often I get to work with girl's clothes for the club. I sometimes work with Haruhi but she has no chest so it's just like working with a boy!" she explains, walking toward a dress form and some racks of clothes, "Come on, help me choose some stuff."
Alice's POV
So it's 50's day and we're doing a sock hop. That's a traditional teenage dance party name from the 50's. The guys look good, I helped pick out the clothes myself.
Tamaki- chinos, a polo, and a letterman jacket
Kyoya- black leather jacket and cuffed jeans
Hikaru and Kauru- chinos and a polo
Takashi- same as Kyoya
Mitskuni- chinos and a polo
Haruhi- a white suit and her hair smoothed down
It's so cute! I love my outfit! I had on a black just-below-the-knee tank top dress. It had a white crinoline underneath and white polka dots all over it. It had a sweetheart neckline that I absolutely love and I had on white vinyl flats. I had my hair done in pin curls and I put it up in a ponytail. I have to do this more often! At the moment I am dancing with Kyoya to Johnny B. Goode. by Chuck Berry.
"Deep down Louisiana close to New Orleans,Way back up in the woods among the evergreens...There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood,Where lived a country boy name of Johnny B. Goode...He never ever learned to read or write so well,But he could play the guitar like ringing a bell."
Kyoya smiled down at me as he twirled me around. I loved twirling in this skirt. We had all learned special dance moves for today and we were having so much fun.
"He use to carry his guitar in a gunny sackAnd sit beneath the trees by the railroad , the engineers used to see him sitting in the shade,Strumming to the rhythm that the drivers passing by would stop and sayOh my that little country boy could play."
He spun me again and held both of my hands. We pulled back from each other then forward, me placing one hand on his shoulder and the other was still in his hand. He put his free hand on my waist and we did some quick dance steps.
"His mother told him someday you would be a man,And you would be the leader of a big old people coming from miles aroundTo hear you play your music when the sun go down Maybe someday your name will be in lights 'Saying Johnny B. Goode tonight!'"
He spun me again and as the song ended he pulled me back and hugged me around my waist. I threw my arms around his neck and hugged him, laughing harder than before once I noticed he was laughing too. The next song came on.
"One, two, three o'clock, four o' clock rock.
Five, six, seven o' clock, eight o' clock rock.
Nine, ten, eleven o'clock, twelve o'clock rock.
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight."
This one I had to concentrate on. Hold his hands, step left, step right, step back, step forward, spin. I think I got it! I looked up at Kyoya and grinned. He grinned back and spun me. This was the most fun ever!
"Put your glad rags on, join me, Hon.
We'll have some fun, when the clock strikes one.
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight.
We're gonna rock, rock, rock, 'til broad daylight.
We're gonna rock, gonna rock around the clock tonight."
The song ended and Tamaki announced that he was sorry but our "sock hop" was over. I realized then that I had only danced with the hosts. Well that was sad, I wanted to dance with everyone else too. Whatever. We cleaned up the club room and changed out of our costumes. I didn't change, I just put my roller skates back on and skated home. I remembered I haven't checked out that address yet. I skated towards our apartment building, doing tricks and spins ever so often because of the spinny skirt. I got to the base of the stairs and changed back into my flats. I walked up to my floor and knocked on the door next to mine. When it opened, there was an American boy about my age.
"Um, hi. There was a piece of paper with your address on it in my pocket yesterday and I wanted to come check it out." I explain.
He looks down at my dress and says, "Did you have to travel through time to get here?"
"Nah, it's a costume. I'm not Marty Mcfly from Back to the Future after all. (A/N: Do not own!)" I say, wondering if he'll get the reference.
"I love those movies! And yeah I put the piece of paper there. You bumped into me skating back from somewhere the other day and you had the skirt in your hand. Was that a costume too?" he asks.
"Yup, and before you ask, no I'm not in the drama club… technically." I say, laughing.
"Oh, well I'm Ryan. Nice to meet you." he says.
"Wait, you look familiar… Mouse?" I ask tentatively, in case it isn't Mouse.
"Princess? I thought you looked like her!" he says, excited.
"Yep! Do you still have your skates?" I ask.
"Yeah, let me grab them." he says before disappearing for a minute.
I walk downstairs and put on my skates. By the time they are laced up and I'm ready to go, so is he and I pull out my phone.
"There's some people I want you to meet." I explain when he looks at me weirdly.
I dial a number and wait.
"WHY ARE YOU CALLING ME DAUGHTER? ARE YOU ALRIGHT?" Tamaki screams as I hold the phone away from my ear.
"SHUT UP! Now, call everyone and tell them to meet up at that little park by the grocery store… Yes, the commoner's grocery store you idiot! And you will pay for that. Just call everyone and tell them to meet there in fifteen minutes, I have someone I want you to meet." I say.
"OH! Does daughter have a boyfriend?" he asks as I hang up.
"Um, I've met your dad." Mouse says, smirking.
"It's not my real dad, this guy has a delusion all of us are a family." I explain and we skate to the park, arriving just as everyone else does.
"Haruhi couldn't come because of homework." Tamaki said sadly, "But I got everyone else!"
"Good job Tamaki." I say like I'm talking to a five year old, and I reach up and pat his head which makes Hikaru and Kauru bust out laughing.
"Okay, everyone. This is Mouse, another friend from the festivals." I say, motioning toward him like a girl on a game show.
"Another friend, Princess?" Mouse asks.
"They met Finn." I say and he nods.
"Well hello… Mouse." Kyoya says, obviously wondering what kind of name is Mouse.
"It's his nickname, idiot." I say and whack him in the back of the head.
No one even holds their breath when I do that anymore, they used to because he is the so-called "Shadow King." but whatever.
"My real name is Ryan." Mouse explains.
"Mou-chan? Why did you call Ali-chan Princess?" Mitskuni asks, confused.
"Yes, I was wondering that too. How dare you talk to my daughter like that!" Tamaki wails.
"That's just her nickname. We gave it to her because she was the only girl in our group. Meaning Finn, me, Leggit, Leon, and Noside." Mouse explains.
"So you were the only girl in a sea of boys? No wonder your used to it!" Kyoya remarks.
"Used to it? And who are these guys anyways?" Mouse asks.
"Mouse, meet the Ouran Academy Host Club. Our king, pfft, Tamaki. He is also our so-called "daddy." Kyoya, vise-president and "mommy." The twins, Hikaru and Kauru, no one can tell them apart. Except me and Haruhi. Takashi and Mitskuni, Takashi is the tall one. And Haruhi isn't here but you'll be introduced soon." I say.
"Ouran Academy? That's near I'm going to go!" Mouse said excitedly.
"Do you like cake?" Mitskuni said, jumping up to hug a very surprised Mouse.
"Yup." Mouse says.
"So you traveled here with your mom?" I ask.
"Nope, my mom is still in a mental institution back in America. I traveled here on my own." he says.
"Mouse traveled with the festivals, catching a ride with either me or Finn. Whoever had more room in their car at the time." I explain.
"Ah, well then." Kyoya says awkwardly.
"I forgot your name already what was it again?" Mouse asks Kyoya.
"It's Kyoya!" I say, jumping up on his back, making sure my skates didn't knock into him.
"Careful Princess, you'll hurt yourself. That wouldn't be good considering you still owe me for the broken Tamaki." he said, teasing me with the name.
"I so hate you." I say, knocking his head with my fist.
"Love you too." he says, laughing as I jump down.
"Gr. And you haven't really done anything about that yet you know." I say.
"I'm waiting." he said mysteriously.
"Fine." I say, sticking my tongue out at him and skating circles around Takashi, who was watching the scene with the tiniest smile.
"Hey! Let's go skating! Ali-chan looks like she'd having fun, I want to try!" Mitskuni says.
I look at Kyoya and pout like, 'please?' He rolls his eyes at me but smiles.
"Yay!" I say and hug him, surprising the heck out of him.
"Just go get in the limo." he says, shaking his head.
Kyoya's POV
She is crazy. Crazy, crazy, crazy. But I love her anyways. Wait, what? I love Alice? That's not possible. It merits me in no way, her family has no title. But she is a bit heart-stopping, in more ways than one. I think this last thought as she slams into Kauru, sending them both sprawling. Kauru is wheezing, he wasn't expecting it I suppose. But Alice is laying on the ground looking up at the sky and laughing hysterically.
"Awesome!" she shouts.
"Um, Alice… you're wearing a dress." Hikaru says and Alice shoots up, holding onto Mori-senpai's hand for balance.
"Alright new plan! Is it like a social no-no to take off my skates and just walk barefoot to the limo? Because I believe It'll be safer that way." she asks, grinning.
"Yeah, don't do that. Here." I say and offer her my arm.
She takes it and we walk/skate over to the limos and hop in, heading for the skating rink.
WOOH! LONG CHAPTER! Very long with school starting and all… so yeah.
