Hi everybody! Sorry that's taken such a long time to update! I've been busy cleaning lately, plus my parents have been bugging me about getting my summer homework started/done. XD *sweatdrop* Plus, I've also been camping (two weekends ago) and it was epic. XD If you check out '333 and more ways to get kicked out of HQ' and it's latest update, then you can see some of the stuff I did, including pudding wrestling. XD (yes, lame self advertising. I even do it sometimes. XD)

So, I went to the Wisconsin State Fair two days ago, and enjoyed myself! =D Went on the sky glider twice, ate a bunch of food, etc. It was epic!

BTW: I plan on re-doing Chapter 1, so look out for it! I'll most likely be

Now, I shall continue on.

Chapter 14

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Tamaki's POV XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Winry had fixed the automail without having to detach the arm from the port in my shoulder which I'm glad for! Havoc had returned from reporting to Colonel Mustang and he returned not that long ago and returned the manga to me and I had shown Winry the host club and she laughed at Edward's attempts at trying to be the king. It's an art to have beauty such as mine and be able to entertain all of the princesses of Ouran with it! However, Edward was doing a good job for being the brute he was.

At this moment, I was on a train with Winry, Major Armstrong, Alphonse, and Havoc as we traveled to South HQ so I could do the assessment. Mrs. Curtis helped me with learning a few fighting moves, which I'll probably not use in the future I might add, and Alphonse helped me write up a report so I could have something to turn in. They managed to re-create a pair of contacts that were gold colored.

I sighed and leaned on my left arm as I stared out the window. I miss the host club and home. This is very nice, but there's already a king here. I love entertaining the ladies back home, not being expected to be an alchemic genius and powerful fighter. But: I MUST PERSERVERE! I SHALL GET BACK TO MY DAUGHTER AND THE HOST CLUB NO MATTER WHAT!

"Tamaki? Are you okay?" I blinked and looked at Winry who had a confused look on her face.

"Yes, why do you ask?"

"You were posing, while your eyes had a far off look to them…"

"Oh…"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Ed's POV XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Tonight was the damn Ouran ball and last night at about 4 pm, the twins showed up with our outfits for the ball and a new piece of music saying that Kyouya had decided to change my music. His reasoning was: "After seeing you hosting the girls, I found a song that you would probably appreciate more." However, I would have to sing while playing. Just great. Add onto my torture! However, the song was less complicated and Mori would be involved as well, between the chorus and a verse.

I ended up going back to Ouran with Haruhi and Mori so I could practice on the piano there and we arrived back at Haruhi's apartment at about 9:45 pm and Ranka was fine with it since Haruhi had called earlier.

She thought we did good, and we both were dreading today.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

"Tamaki? Haruhi? Come on! We have to go!" A muffled voice of a twin said as they pounded at the door. I sighed as I took a bite of my toast slathered in jelly.

"Do they always do this?" I groaned and Haruhi sighed in response.

"Sadly, yes they do."

"We're coming in!" A twin voice said and it went silent. Haruhi and I looked at each other.

"Should we be worried?" She asked I pondered about it before nodding. We calmed got up, and moved the stuff out of the way of the door moments before there was a loud noise and we saw the door break off it's hinges and fall to the floor. Two red heads peeked in the doorway with a grin.

"There you both are!"

"We were waiting for you two!" They chimed happily with grins adorning their faces while Mori picked up the door and leaned it against a wall while Hunny walked in happily.

"I hope you guys are planning on fixing my door." Haruhi said dully while staring at the open doorway and I sighed. These people were nuts.

"Of course we will! But we need to get going otherwise Kyouya may get annoyed!" We all shuddered, well except Mori while even Hunny flinched, although it was hardly noticeable.

"Fine." I sighed and went into my current room and grabbed the music for later, and the costume. I was informed last night that the ball would be a masquerade and each of the hosts would have a costume based off of something in nature. My costume was of a 'Sun King' and was in hues of reds, oranges, and yellows and the mask was covered with different rays of sunshine and only covered the top half of my face.

I had no idea what the other hosts would be wearing, but Haruhi grabbed her outfit of greens and reds and shook her head at the gathering of hosts in her kitchen.

"All of you: out." She said and they complied and she sighed and looked and me and I chuckled.

"I'm going, but I'll put your door back up so it at least looks like it's normal." She shook her head and walked out the door while I followed, and placed the wooden door in it's frame.

"Good thing dad is gone for two days." I heard her mutter and I grinned to myself. At least I didn't have to deal with this at home…

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Tamaki's POV XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

We finally reached South HQ and… I'M SO NERVOUS! I know I'm the king, but how can I do this? Calm down Tamaki. Your precious daughter believes in you! Well, I don't know that, BUT I'M SURE SHE DOES!

"Are you sure you're okay?" I looked over at Winry who looked worried and I gave out a weak smile.

"Perfectly fine!" I squeaked and she sighed.

"You'll be fine Tamaki." She whispered and gave me a small smile and I felt at least a little bit better. Our little group stood outside of HQ and it felt like the building was looming over me. Alphonse and Winry would have to stay outside while Havoc and Armstrong went with me inside.

"Good Luck!" They said happily as I began to walk inside. The secretary inside looked up from her work and smiled,

"Major Elric?" I nodded, "Just head down this hallway and it's the third door to your left." I gave my thanks and the three of us continued on and I felt butterflies in my stomach. How can I be scared? Edward Elric is never scared! Well except for when he almost lost Alphonse, and when he met Barry the Chopper when he kidnapped Winry, and…NO! I MUST STAY POSITIVE!

I reached the door and took a deep breath and looked to Major Armstrong and Lieutenant Havoc who stood at either side of the door. I would be going alone.

"Good luck." Havoc said with a grin and I smiled weakly.

"You'll do fine lad!" Armstrong said quietly and my smile grew a little. I took another breath and opened the door and immediately paled.

"Furer Bradley sir!" I exclaimed and quickly went into salute and the leader of the country chuckled.

"It's alright Fullmetal, at ease. Come in and join us will you?"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Ed's POV XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Ouran Academy, I would like to welcome you tonight to the Host Club's annual winter ball! You all look simply beautiful my princesses! Please enjoy yourselves and I hope you have a delightful time!" The crowd clapped, and I saw some blush and some nearly faint and I held back a groan. The fact that I had finally had mastered masquerading as Tamaki, which was ironic in a situation like this, was good for being in Tamaki's body although extremely bad for my ego. I was currently in my Sun King costume and through my mask, I could see the giant crowd of girls swooning and beginning to mingle and dance.

I looked to the other hosts and their costumes and held back a smirk. At least I wasn't the only one dressed up like this. Kyouya was wearing blacks and purples with a dark mask, revealing half of his face and ominous onyx eyes. He surely lived up to his nickname as the 'Prince of Darkness'.

Haruhi was wearing brown pants and green top with various vines that held fabric flowers and different leaves. It cascaded around the torso and the mask that covered her face was vine filled and held a red flower. It covered most of her face, but I could see her chestnut eyes filled with boredom that was veiled quickly.

I was finally able to distinguish Hikaru and Kaoru as two different people tonight, with the twins taking the elements of fire and water. Hikaru's outfit matched the hues of his hair with his outfit being a cover of flames with his mask matching the red and orange outfit and covered the right side of his face. Kaoru however, was covered in different shades of cool blues that traveled across his suit and mask. His mask covered the left side of his face.

Hunny was wearing a light blue suit that was covered in light puffy clouds and his mask was a large puffy cloud and I could see his bright smile and shiny eyes. Mori was in a black suit, which was covered in streaks of electricity and a matching black mask covered the gentle giant's face.

It was actually a nice party, although I had to host my way around the floor, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be…however it was finally time for me to play.

I sat down at the piano and took a deep breath. The room had gone silent and Mori sat down in a chair next to me with a guitar and I could see the hosts on the stairs giving me looks of encouragement. I placed my fingers on the keys and began to play.

"Hello my beautiful. It seems I just can't stay away.

It's been so very long, that I've ever felt this strong.

You hold my heart the way you did an hour ago.

I've said all I can say, but yet I must be sure you know…

That I love, love, love you.

I need, need, need you.

I long, long, long to hold you in my arms again.

I'm so, so sad to ever hurt, hurt, hurt you.

I'm more afraid of losing you, than anything before."

Mori started to play while I continued on the piano and halfway through the break I sang out into wordless singing, letting myself just sing along with the piano, however as Mori's solo began to end, I focused back on the lyrics and brought the song up an octave.

"I love, love, love you.

I need, need, need you.

I long, long, long to hold you in my arms again.

I'm so, so sad to ever hurt, hurt, hurt you.

I'm more afraid of losing you, than anything before.

Please can I have one more…..hello."

As I began to play the last notes, Mori joined me for the last chord and the audience burst out in applause and cheering and I looked around. I had actually done it! TAKE THAT YOU DAMN PIANO!

I got up and bowed and the orchestra that Kyouya hired began to play again as Mori sat down his guitar and the other hosts joined us.

"Good Job Edward." Haruhi said quietly and I smirked, I had finally shown Kyouya! Wait…DAMN IT!

"You are evil." I grumbled to a smirking Kyouya who merely shrugged.

"You wanted to show me wrong so much, that you made a good Tamaki. Congratulations." That outfit makes him look that much more evil…

"You're starting to bug me worse than the Colonel." I muttered and the twins grinned and Haruhi gave me an encouraging smile. At least things were going according to the plan.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Tamaki's POV XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Why was the Furer here? He isn't supposed to be here is he? Did he find out about me and Edward switching bodies? I DON'T WANNA DIE!

"What are you doing in the South sir?" I asked, trying to keep the panic out of my voice. The Furer just smiled and his eyes were closed as usual.

"I was going around to different bases and I heard that you were coming for re-certification Fullmetal." He replied and my stomach dropped in dread. I looked over to the General who smiled as well. "So what is your report?" I handed the packet to the Furer who only glanced at it before he picked up my file on the table where the General and he were sitting and stamped it. He smiled up at me and got up. "Good job Fullmetal, you passed."

That's it?

"Thank you sir!" I stammered as he began to walk out. He turned back to look at me and I knew that the General was standing as well.

"You're a very valuable alchemist Fullmetal. Take care of yourself." He waved and exited while the General gave me his congratulations and left quietly and I stood there silently as Havoc and Armstrong came in expectantly.

"Tamaki?" Havoc asked cautiously and my face broke out in a wide grin.

"I PASSED!"

"You passed? That fast?" Havoc exclaimed and Armstrong burst into tears.

"That is just wonderful young Tamaki!" He exclaimed and I was wrapped up in a giant hug.

"Thank you!" I laughed. I hadn't let Edward down! This was simply delightful! MOMMY AND MY PRECIOUS DAUGHTER WOULD SURELY BE PROUD OF ME!

We headed outside and I got hugs and congratulations from Alphonse and Winry and the 5 of us went out to lunch to a restaurant nearby. I finally pulled this off after all!

"So Tamaki, have you figured out a way to switch back with Edward?" Winry asked and I hit my head on the table.

"I completely forgot!" I exclaimed and went to a corner and sobbed. How could I have forgotten about switching back? Edward might be working on a way to try and get us back to normal but I've been working on trying to pass the assessment! Edward is so focused and is able to do such amazing things like live up to my reputation and beauty AND try and get back to normal! He's such a wonderful commoner! Then again, he isn't really a commoner! He has worked and has a high position!

Oh how are we going to get back to normal?

One more chapter then an epilogue is left! XD
