The next day when Maria came to school she ran off fast to try and find Mori and Hunny.

"Mori!" she shouted when she found her two classmates.

"Hmm?" said Mori.

"I just wanted to say that if you don't want to play tour guide to my grandparents you don't have to. They said they can wait to do some real sight seeing tomorrow on Saturday instead of today after school so more of my family will be free to show them around," said Maria.

"Oh," said Mori.

"No no it's alright Mari-Chan," insisted Hunny, "Takashi already worked out where he was going to help show your nice grandparents around so he can still go with you tomorrow. It'd be rude for him to back out of his commitment and to put all his hard work to waist don't you think?"

"Uh well I guess yeah," said Maria. Hunny giggled.

"Good I know you'll have a good time tomorrow," he said.

"Yeah," said Mori.

"Sure," said Maria turning away and walking to her desk.

'Why me?!' she thought sadly to herself.

"Oh I can't wait to see all of Tokyo!" cheered Mrs. Martinez at the breakfast table.

"Who's this classmate of Maria's that's taking you on this so called tour again?" asked Maria's mother.

"Some boy, his name was like a Mori something or another?" said Mr. Martinez.

"You mean Takashi Morinozuka?!" asked Maria's mother.

"Yes I think that was it," said Mr. Martinez. Maria four brothers and sisters all gasped before turning to look at Maria with smirks.

"What?!" she snapped, "Abuelo merely picked him at random!"

"Sure he did," taunted George. He winked at his grandfather who merely nodded his head in agreement with a snicker.

"Oh this is fabulous!" said Maria's mother.

"Just what sort of tour is he taking you all on though?" asked her father.

"I don't know but according to his cousin he put a lot of effort into planning this tour," said Maria. Just then the doorbell rang.

"Well someone get that please?!" called out Mrs. Tanaka-Martinez, "Chisaki, Rose take your sister upstairs right now and make sure she looks presentable!"

"Yes Momma!" said Maria's two sisters grabbing at Maria in an attempt to drag her upstairs. Maria merely threw them off.

"You don't have to drag me!" she said as she stood up and followed. She let her sisters do what the wanted to her as they helped change her clothes and do up her hair. When they were done she was wearing a new a red skirt and red shirt with a tan sweater vest. Her hair was up real nice in a long ponytail.

"You look fabulous!" said Chisaki.

"Sure thanks," said Maria.

"Girls are you done yet? You need to get going you know!" they suddenly heard their mother call out.

"We're coming Mother!" said Rose and Chisaki as they led Maria downstairs where Mori was waiting with Maria's grandparents.

'Maria looks nice,' Mori thought sheepishly.

"Are you ready to go Maria?" asked her grandmother.

"Sure if you all are," said Maria.

"Have fun, and don't worry about staying out too late," said her mother, "Stay out as late as you want!"

"Hey how come we ever get the privilege?" asked Chisaki.

"You weren't escorting your grandparents around," said her mother.

"So Mr. Morinozuka where are you planning on taking us today?" asked Mrs. Martinez as the four of them drove off.

"I thought we'd go to the Tokyo Tower First," said Mori.

"Oh are you going to be okay with that Abuela?" asked Maria knowing that her grandmother sometimes had a problem with heights.

"I'll be fine as long as I have my man by my side," said Mrs. Martinez holding her husband's hand.

Maria noticed her grandmother was squeezing her husband's hand a lot tighter as they stood on the main observation tower.

"Abuela are you alright?" she asked concern.

"I'll be fine as long as I don't look directly down!" said Mrs. Martinez.

"Hmm?" said Mori.

"I'm sorry Mr. Morinozuka, we'll be just fine we swear," the kind old woman assured him. Mori nodded.

"Look there they are!"

"Why does Mrs. Martinez look nervous?"

"It could be she's a little bit afraid of heights,"

"Will you all keep it down?! We don't want to be seen!" said Haruhi, "I don't even know why we we're doing this!"

"We have to make sure Mori-Sempi shows Mari-Sempi a good time! If he doesn't it'll be an embarrassment to the club!" Tamaki explained.

Haruhi sighed as she stood among the other hosts and hostesses all dresses in disguises so Mori or Maria wouldn't recognize them.

"Come on Abuela, come and see the wax museum they have in here," said Maria leading her grandparents towards the museum.

"What don't they have in here?" asked her grandfather.

"Oh look and there are the mascots," said Maria.

"Oh we should get our picture with them!" said Mrs. Martinez, "Who has a camera?" Mori walked to one of the convenient stores and bought a one time use camera.

"Here," he said holding it up.

"Oh no Mr. Morinozuka you got to be in the picture with us," insisted Mr. Martinez.

"But then who will take the picture?" asked Maria.

"Excuse me but did you say you needed your picture taken?" asked Tamaki suddenly showing up still in his disguise and taking the camera from Mori. Maria tried to study him.

"Tamaki," she said, "Is that…,"

"Just line up and I'll snap your picture!" said Tamaki shoving the four together towards the two Noppons and took their picture. "What a lovely group photo. Hope you keep having a fun time here in Tokyo!" he handed Mori the camera before walking off.

"Didn't that boy look familiar at all?" asked Maria's grandmother.

"Yeah I think so," said Maria.

"Nice going Tamaki-Sempi," said Haruhi, "That's not going to cause suspicion at all!"

"Yeah I didn't think so either," said Tamaki smiling.

The group all groaned at Tamaki's stupidity.

"Well this was fun but I'm sure there's more to show us right Mr. Morinozuka?" asked Mr. Martinez.

"Yeah," said Mori leading his group to the exit.

"Mori you don't think that guy who took our picture was Tamaki do you?" Maria asked

"Possibly," said Mori.

"Why would he be," Maria paused in mid-thought, "Wait you don't think they're all here spying on us do you?" Both she and Mori turned around as the hosts and hostesses all quickly ducked out of sight where they were out of Mori and Maria's sight. Both Maria and Mori shared a look of annoyance.

"We should have known they'd spy on us," said Maria as they hurried after her grandparents.

"Yeah," said Mori.

"Told you this was pointless," said Haruhi.

"Come on we have to go to keep up with them!" said Tamaki totally ignoring his girlfriend.

"So where are we going next?" asked Mrs. Martinez eagerly.

"It's a surprise," said Mori. Maria looked out the window at the direction they were going and suddenly got an idea where they were going. Her theory was proven right as the limo pulled up to the Imperial Palace.

"Oh my, this place is huge," said Mrs. Martinez standing outside the gates.

"Is this like a famous temple or something?" asked Mr. Martinez.

"No Abuelo, this is the Imperial Palace. This is where the Emperor lives," said Maria.

"Oh my, this is a real palace?" asked Mrs. Martinez, "I've always wanted to see one!"

"Good," said Mori smiling.

"Mr. Morinozuka and Miss Tanaka-Martinez welcome," said one of the guards at the front gate, "Please come in."

"They know you two here?" asked Mrs. Martinez as the group walked in.

"Oh yes," said Maria, "Our family has come here many times. Momma has helped planned some of the royal family's trips."

"And what about you Mr. Morinozuka?" asked her grandfather.

"We've trained some of the royal family members," said Mori.

"My my, you certainly are well connected young man," said Mr. Martinez.

"Did they just go into the palace?" asked Haruhi.

"I believe so," said Kyoya, "Don't worry I'll get us in. It shouldn't be too hard seeing how we all have connections with the imperial family."

"Can't we let them be for now?" asked Haruhi, "Seriously I'm sure they'll be fine!"

"I agree with Haruhi," said Aiko, "Let's let Maria-Sempi and Mori-Sempi be for a while, at least while they're inside the palace."

"Thank you Aiko," said Haruhi.

"We can pick up spying on them after they come out," Aiko added.

"Of course," muttered Haruhi looking around for some kind of vender. She was getting hungry.

"Oh what lovely gardens!" said Mrs. Martinez walking around holding her husband's hand. The two seem to be a real ease with each other, even stopping to give each other a kiss.

"Oh that is sweet," said Maria.

"Yeah," said Mori. Maria kicked a stone in her path.

"Mori I really do appreciate you doing this for my grandparents even though you really didn't have to. My mother's a big time travel agent. She knows a thing or two about traveling and sight seeing."

"It was worth it," said Mori.

"What's that suppose to mean?" asked Maria.

"It means it was worth getting to spend time with you," said Mori. Maria blushed and tried to quicken her pace.

"We shouldn't let my grandparents get too far ahead!" she said as she tried to hurry up to catch up with them. However she felt Mori's hand on her arm pulling her back.

"Maria I need to ask, do you like me?" asked Mori.

"Uh sure you're a nice guy," said Maria.

"That's not what I meant," said Mori.

"You mean do I like you as like say the same way my grandmother likes my grandfather?" asked Maria sheepishly looking at her grandparents who had actually stopped to look out towards a pond that had some black swans swimming around and taking pictures of them with the disposable camera.

"Yeah," said Mori.

"Well I um guess I sort of like you in that sense," said Maria pushing a bit of hair behind her ear, "It's just hard for me to admit I have those kinds of feelings, that's all." She looked up sheepishly at Mori who was actually smiling.

"That's alright," he said, "It's just good to know you actually have them." Next thing Maria knew Mori was kissing her. It wasn't a long kiss of a real passionate kiss like what she seen some of the other boys particularly Tamaki give their girlfriends but it was still nice. It was so nice in fact Maria actually managed to relax a little and close her eyes. When the kiss broke Maria smiled but at the same time looked away, blushing a deep red.

"Thank you for that," she said.

"Sure," said Mori.

"Maria, come on let's get going I want to see more of the palace!" called out her grandmother.

"Coming Abuela," said Maria running after her. Mori moved to keep up as well. Soon however he realized Maria's grandfather was walking right next to him while Maria was walking next to her grandmother.

"I saw what you did young man!" he said.

"Hmm?" said Mori not sure if he liked where this was going.

"I saw you kissing Maria!" said Mr. Martinez with a slight hint of anger in his voice, "You realize what that means?!"

"Uh," said Mori trying to think of what to say so as to avoid angering the old man.

"It means that when you come to my granddaughter's Quinceañera you better make sure you ask her to dance so you can make her feel special!" said Mr. Martinez.

"Yes sir!" said Mori. That was something he knew he could do.
