A/N: Hey guys...now I know that I didn't update in a few months, and I am so sorry about that! :/ I guess school caught up with me -_- But you can think of the first 11 chapters as the "first season"! I left you guys with a cliffhanger last time, and I know you must be excited to find out what happens. So here it is. By the way, all phone numbers in here are fake.

Disclaimer: I do not own OHSHC or any of their characters.

"Huh, I wonder who it could be." Mikayla and Haruhi stood up and went for the door. Once she opened it, there was a girl standing there. I don't know why, but I had a feeling that I have seen her before. Haruhi and Mikayla stood there like statues. No one said a word. What's going on?

~~~~~~~~Hikaru's POV~~~~~~~~

There was a girl, with blonde hair, carrying bags outside the door. I was really confused because I have no idea who this girl is. I turned my head to look at Mikayla and Haruhi, who seemed to have tears running down their faces. They were also smiling. I looked over my shoulder and Kaoru had a confused look, just like mine. After a few seconds of awkward silence, the girl with the blond hair ran into the living room and hugged Mikayla and Haruhi.

"I can't believe you're here! I have missed you so much!" Haruhi was crying, but I assume that she is happy.

"I know, isn't it great? Now the three of us are back together again!" The three of us? Back together again? Hmm, I think I have a feeling of who this girl is.

"Ashley, you have no idea how glad I am that you are here, in Japan!" Yep, just as I thought. This was Ashley, the girl that was in the picture we saw in Mikayla's room earlier. Kaoru and I just awkwardly stood there until Mikayla introduced us to Ashley.

"Oh, Ashley! These are our friends, Hikaru and Kaoru. They're sort of annoying, but you will get used to it." Mikayla just beamed with happiness as she spoke; it almost seemed like she was just lighting up the room.

"Hello, nice to meet you! My name is Ashley Brown, but you can call me Ashley." She reached out her hand, waiting for one of us to shake it. Kaoru took her hand in a hurry and introduced us.

"I'm Kaoru Hitachiin and this is my brother, Hikaru Hitachiin. The pleasure is mine, Ashley." Kaoru gave her a warm, comforting smile. He was in his "Host Club" mode. She smiled back, and the five of us sat down on the couch in the living room.

"So Ashley, how was your trip?" Haruhi asked.

"Oh, the trip. It was rather fun, I guess." Ashley started to describe detail by detail of her whole trip. I couldn't help but to let my eyes wander off and focus on Mikayla. She seems very focused on Ashley's story. I guess I just won't interrupt them. Kaoru must have read my mind because he had an expression that seemed like he wasn't paying attention.

~~~~~~~~Mikayla's POV~~~~~~~~

I kept smiling and smiling as Ashley was telling us about her trip. I just can't believe that she's here. The best thing is, is that Ashley, Haruhi, and I can finally reconnect and become the best friends we already were. I have so many things to tell her, like how everyone at our school mistakes Haruhi as a boy, how her, the twins, and everyone else are part of a host club, and a lot of other things. After a few minutes of Ashley talking, she was done.

"Wow, sounds like you had a good trip." Haruhi, of course, was the polite one.

"Yeah, I kind of did, but now I have to go help my parents and sister unpack the luggage. So, I will see you guys tomorrow at Ouran Academy!" My jaw dropped.

"You're going to school with us? That's awesome, Ashley!" I gave her a hug and told her goodbye, as did Haruhi. Hikaru and Kaoru just waved goodbye, come to think of it, they haven't said a word since Ashley began to talk about her trip.

"Is something wrong, you guys?" I was kind of worried, I mean, knowing that they're in a host club, wouldn't they have been all over Ashley? It would have been expected of them to do.

"Nothing's wrong, Mikayla. It's just that we don't know Ashley very well." Hikaru and Kaoru spoke at the same time.

"Oh, that's right..."

"Well, I have to go now, guys. I'll see you in school tomorrow. Bye!" Haruhi left and went back to her place. Kaoru took out his phone to call his mom to come pick them up. It was only 6:05, but they decided to leave early. She said she's going to get here in fifteen minutes. The guys and I went outside to wait for her, and we talked for a little while.

"Your friend seems really nice, Mikayla." Kaoru had this look on his face that you couldn't not smile at.

"She is, Kaoru. She could be one of the greatest friends anyone could have ever asked for. Well, looks like your mom is here." Of course it would be their mother. Who else would drive up to my apartment in a limo?

"Yep, that's mom. Well, we will see you tomorrow, Mikayla. Bye!" Hikaru and Kaoru waved off and jumped in the limo. By 6:23, I called Ashley.

Beep Beep Beep

Ashley: Hello?

Me: Hey, Ashley! Do you mind if I come over and help you unpack?

Ashley: No, I don't mind. I have to ask my parents, though. Be right back.

Me: Okay

I held the phone between my shoulder and my ear, which was a really uncomfortable position. I had my hands full, how else could I hold my phone?

Ashley: You there?

Me: Yeah.

Ashley: Okay, they said you can come. Do you know where I live?

Me: Umm, no.

Ashley:*sigh Okay, just leave your apartment, then turn left and keep walking until you see a house with a number "2934".

Me: Okay, thanks! Be right there in 15 minutes.

Ashley: Can't wait!

I set the things in my hands on the kitchen table, and I went to let my parents know that Haruhi, Hikaru, and Kaoru left. I also went there to tell them that Ashley is in Japan, and that I would help her unpack. I knocked on their bedroom door, and my mom told me to come in. I came in to find my dad on his phone and my mom watching some TV. She turned the TV on mute.

"Mom, my friends left." That part was short, I mean, there really was no other way to say it.

"They left already without me telling them goodbye?" My mom was very friendly, and she always liked greeting and saying goodbye to my friends whenever they visited.

"Yes, mom. Oh, and Ashley is here, in Japan. She just came here today. Is it okay if I go over to her house to help her unpack?" My mom and dad looked up at me in shock as I said that.

"She's here? That's marvelous! Of course you can go help her unpack! Today's Thursday, though. Don't stay too late, sweetie."

"I won't mom. It's 6:32, I will be back no later than 8:20, is that okay?"

"Sure." She gave me a smile, and I left their room. I went to the living room to get my phone and head off to Ashley's house. However, before I left, something caught my eye. I walked up to the couch, and I found a phone. Maybe this is one of the twins'. I pressed a button, and the screen flashed. I somehow found my way to the settings of the phone. There were many options, such as wireless & networks, call settings, sound settings, display settings, location & security, applications, etc. I finally found the option I was looking for, "about phone".

Phone Number: 573-626-9345

Battery Left: 83%

This phone belongs to: Hikaru Hitachiin.

Huh, this is Hikaru's phone. It must have fell out of his pocket while he was sitting on the couch. I took the phone, along with mine, and headed out the door. While I was following Ashley's directions, I decided to text Kaoru on Hikaru's phone. I tapped on the "contacts" app and saw that Kaoru was saved under, "Best Brother In The World" with a heart right next to it. Of course, this was totally expected. I sent a text to Kaoru.

~~~~~~~~Kaoru's POV~~~~~~~~

I was in my room, watching some TV when suddenly, Hikaru came storming into my room.

"Kaoru, I can't find my phone anywhere!" He threw his hands in the air and was pacing back and forth, blocking the television.

"Do you remember where you left it last?"

"Yes, it was in my back pocket when we left the school." He pointed to his pocket to see that his phone wasn't there anymore. I let out a sigh and shook my head.

"Okay, then. I'm sure it's somewhere in this house. Did you check the limo?" He jerked up and stormed out of my room. I kept on watching TV when I got a text. It said it was from Hikaru. How odd, I thought to myself. Maybe he found it in the limo.

Hikaru: Hey Kaoru, this is Mikayla. Hikaru left his phone here.

"It's not there, Kaoru! What am I going to do now? Mom will kill me!" Hikaru was throwing such a big tantrum.

"Calm down, Hikaru. You left it at Mikayla's house."

"And how would you know that?"

"Because Mikayla sent me a text from your phone saying so." I held up my phone to show Hikaru. He started rubbing the back of his neck and let out a sheepishly laugh. Then that laugh turned into a smirk.

"I have an idea."

Again, so sorry for not updating the last 2 or 3 months. I will try my best to not let that happen again. Review this chapter if you liked it! :)
