OH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS CLUTCH MY PEARLS DID YOU GUYS MISSSSSSS ME?

I'm sorry for the absence! School started up and I've never been more stressed!

BUT IM HERE AGAIN

I DONT KNOW FOR HOW LONG...

BUT IM HERE!

Let's continue our story with Miss Dani shall we?

I'm not, nor will I ever be an owner of OHSHC... I just own Dani and stuff...

Woo...

The past month has been almost a blur. The same routine everyday- Wake up, School, host club, dance, bed. The dance recital is in less than a week and practice has been absolutely brutal. I've barely had time to eat! I'm exhausted, but I couldn't be more excited. It's about to be my time to shine. This is the first recital my mom is able to come to, and not only that, but Haruhi is coming too! I can't wait to show them all of my hard work.

The sun came up in a gorgeous sunrise. The weather had gotten rather cold overnight and frost laid on the front years and the windows.

Goodmorning beautiful! One more day until the recital!

I woke up before my blaring alarm clock had the chance to and disturb the peace. I opened my eyes, stretched, and sat up. Bun Bun was lying next to me, so I picked him up and gave him a quick squeeze.

Goodmorning buddy. Let's make today an amazing day...

My whole body was sore from dress rehearsal the night before. I didn't stretch very well before we started because I got there late. Tamaki insisted I stay for some "family bonding time" after the Host Club ended and it took so much to finally pry myself away from his steel grip. He didn't understand why I had to leave. He's so strange...

I rubbed my eyes to rid them of sleepiness and saw there was black on my hands.

Ugh... I don't think I washed off all of my makeup... I feel so gross...

I got out of bed and walked to the bathroom. When I looked in the mirror, I actually jumped a little.

Oh Jesus! You look like a freakin monster!

Mascara clumped on my eyelashes and my eyeliner was smeared under my eyes. I'm sure there was powder and blush all over my pillow too. My lips were still stained red.

I look like a hot mess...

I quickly hopped in the shower. Face,body, hair, lookin good, feeling gorgeous... While the hot water poured all over my sore body, I thought about the past month.

Everything couldn't have been better. My relationship with my mom has been better. I haven't had nightmares every night. I haven't heard anything else about my dad. I have the bestest friend, and I absolutely love the host club now! Now I get to do one of my favorite things in the whole entire freakin world! What more could I want?

I turned off the water and hopped out. I dried myself off and I heard my mom leave for work.

That must mean it's about 7:00ish... I better get my ass moving or I'm gonna be late for school!

I rushed to get my whole facade on and scarfed down some toast and fruit. I had to almost Soccer Mom Power Walk to school! At the gate, I saw a familiar face waiting there for me, like she does every morning.

"Well gooooooood morning Haruhi!" I yelled, waving at her!

"Good morning, dancing queen!" She yelled, waving back, but not as chaotically as I was. I rushed over to her and she gave me a quick hug. Good thing no one was around!

"How you feeling Dani? You're walking a little funny..." Haruhi asked as we walked into the school. It was true that I was walking weird.

I'm soooo sore... Carry meeeeee

" I'm just super tired. But soon it will be over and I can relax and not be so sore. I'm so excited for you to see the show tomorrow though!" I said to her as we approached the classroom. "I am too! Is everyone else going?" Haruhi asked as we got to the door. I stopped mid-step.

Oh crap... She doesn't know. You're really bad at talking to people Dani...

I didn't know how to explain it, but I just didn't want the Host Club coming. I felt like they would judge me or make fun of me. They haven't seen me as a girl since we all went swimming that one day, and that seemed like ages ago! I guess the bottom line is, I'm really shy, and something about my 6 new friends judging me made my stomach do somersaults...

"Umm... Hey Haruhi don't tell the guys about this okay?"

She stopped and turned around.

"Huh? Why not?" She asked in a confused tone.

I looked down at my feet," I just don't think I'm comfortable with them watching me dance yet...the only people who know are you and Kyoya.. And he knows everything. But I had to tell him anyways so I could leave the Club early. But the rest of them..." I said quietly, my voice trailing as I spoke.

Haruhi sighed, and placed her hand on my shoulder.

"Okay Dani, if you don't want them to I won't tell them. My lips are sealed!" She said, pretending to zip her lips shut. I giggled.

"Thanks Haruhi. You're the best."

"No problem Dani... But if the guys figure out on their own, that's a different story!" Haruhi said as we walked into class.

TIME LASPE AND HIKARU'S POV

The host club ended a little earlier today since it started snowing like crazy. It was like a mini blizzard outside! Karou and I were cleaning up the dishes, Haruhi was cleaning, Hunny and Mori-Sempai ran to go get some food, and Tamaki and Kyoya were arguing about... Something.

But where is Dani?

"Hey guys I'm leaving now!" I hear Dani yell across the room.

Well that was convenient..

I looked up from the table and turned in her general direction. She had put on a black coat over her uniform and slung her bag over her shoulder and started to walk out.

Why has she been leaving so early?

"Not so fast my little princess! We have some questions for you!" Tamaki-Senpai said loudly, grabbing her by the waist and practically tossing her onto the couch.

"Ow! What was that for Sempai! I gotta get home! My mom's worrying about me!" I heard her say, trying to get off the couch. Tamaki was blocking her. " Why haven't you been staying the entire time during the Host Club the past month? Are you seeing a boy? Are you being a hooligan? Why are you leaving us!" Tamaki said grabbing her shoulders and nearly crying. "Quit the dramatics Sempai! My mom has needed me home lately!"

" If you're out seeing a big you better tell us now!" Tamaki said dramatically.

"Sempai lay off of Dani!" Haruhi yelled coming out of the kitchen. "Seriously boss just leave her alone." I said cooly.

Wait.. Why am I sticking up for her? Dafuq?

I looked at Dani and she gave me a reassuring smile.

Her smile is actually kinda pretty... But not as pretty as Haruhi's or anything! No! What?

Kyoya suddenly stepped up. "Tamaki, let our little cross-dresser go. She has a personal matter to take care of. " He said, practically yanking Tamaki off of Dani.

"Thank you Sempai. I'll see you all on Monday." She said, waving over her shoulder and quickly walking out of the host club. "But... B-b-but.. Bu-" Tamaki stuttered, but he was cut off by the sound of the door. "Does Dani need a ride home? I know she walks and it's snowing really hard outside." Karou said with nervousness in his voice.

Dani walking in the cold? All alone? What if she lost her house key again? Gah! Why do I care so much... Honestly she isn't that special...

"I think she has enough common sense to take the bus Karou." Kyoya said while on his laptop. Suddenly, Mori and Hunny burst in the room. I've never seen Hunny so excited.

"Look! Look! Look!" Look what Takashi and I found!" Hunny said, shedding layers of warm clothes as he bolted over to Tamaki. Him and Takashi has red noses and snow all over their clothes. Takashi said behind and picked up all of Hunny's coats. It looked like Hunny had a big flyer in his hand. "What's this Hunny-Sempai?" Tamaki said as he grabbed the paper from the small boy's hand. Curious, my brother and I got up from our table and walked over to see what the fuss was all about. Haruhi joined us as well. The flyer seemed to be an ad for an upcoming dance show or something. A pretty girl and an guy standing in white were displayed in the middle of the flyer. A bunch of people we surrounding them in all black. The girl and the guy looked around with a look of determination. "Come see The Academy of Dance perform the 25th Annual Winter Recital. "Break Free" Saturday, December 16 at 4 PM. Tickets are 10 dollars at the door." Tamaki read the poster out loud. "This is interesting Hunny. Where did you find this?"he asked after he finished reading. "At the Yanata Coffee Shop! A nice man gave it to me!" He said smiling, obviously proud of himself. I looked over at Karou, who was studying the poster very intensely. I looked at it too.

That girl looks very pretty..

I glanced up at Haruhi, who's face was hard to read. She was looking at the poster, but her lips were pulled into a thin line. I wonder what she's thinking?

"Why does that girl look familiar?" Karou finally asked in a puzzled tone.

Now that he says that.. That girl started to become more familiar... Brown hair, pretty eyes, a small figure...

"Silly Kao-chan! That's Dani Chan! Look!" Hunny said happily, pointing at the small print at the bottom of the poster. We all squinted our eyes to read the fine print. "Dancers photographed: Eugene Lee and Danielle Charlton..." More names followed, but everyone was obviously interested in the second name listed. My eyes widen.

So that girl is Dani? Whoa...

I mean... She looks very nice.. Yeah...

" I didn't know Dani was in a recital! She looks lovely!" Karou said, grabbing the poster and looking at it closer. Haruhi was still acting strange and quiet. She backed up and walked away. "I DO NOT APROVE OF THIS! My daughter should not be wearing such provocative clothing such as that!" Tamaki suddenly exclaimed, signaling to the outfit Dani was wearing in the poster. It was a long flowy white dress with long sleeves and a slit going diagonally, showing off a lot of her right leg.

I think there's nothing wrong with what's she's wearing...

"Either way, I think we should support our Host Club member and go see the recital tomorrow." Kyoya said cooly, pushing up his glasses.

"But I don't want those mischievous twins watching my daughter in those clothes! They could think such dirty things!" Tamaki started to say, until he was clunked on the head. " Would you quit it Sempai! That's what they're suppose to wear! It's a costume! Quit shaming her!" Haruhi yelled to a crumbled Tamaki, who was on the ground caressing his head. "Owww... Haruhi that hurt..." Tamaki whined. Haruhi rolled her eyes. "So... We gonna see Dani tomorrow?" Karou asked. "Yeah yeah! Let's go surprise her! We can bring her cake and flowers!" Hunny said, jumping up and down excitedly. Tamaki jumped up at this. "Yes! That sounds absolutely splendid!" Tamaki said, forgetting what he was so upset about before. "Let's surprise our dear Dani and see her tomorrow!" Tamaki said, spinning around. "Let's do it!" Karou said with excitement. I smiled and nodded in agreement.

Seeing Dani dance... That sounds fun! I know she's a good dancer, but this is the first time we'll see her all the way girly. That sounds interesting...

I took the poster from Karou while the whole Host Club chirped away about seeing Danielle dance in the recital. I stared at Dani. He long hair was down and wild. She was wearing makeup and her green eyes seemed so vibrant. She looked really good..

But not as good as Haruhi! Nobody looks as good as Haruhi Right?

I glanced over at Haruhi, who was talking to Tamaki. I smiled when I looked at her.. But something seemed different... I couldn't tell though.

Haruhi is still pretty... Right?

Okay! This is part one of two! The next part will be out very soon! I PINKY PROMISE!

I should have been writing a paper today... But I totally didn't...

I'm such a bad student...

OH WELL!

Stay classy lovelies...
