MidnightStar: Okay, I have nothing to say... ._.

Except I'm sorry for not updating on my B-day, the 14, but some squirrel chewed up a cable in the telephone box, and yeah. I mean it, it did do that... crazy squirrels. May he rest in peace.

The Date(s)

Kaoru's POV

"I feel nervous," I said, and Hikaru looked at me. "What?"

"That's the one millionth time you've told me," he muttered, crossing his arms. "Don't tell me you're gonna chicken out."

"I'm not," I snapped, and he laughed.

"Good, cuz we're here," he said smugly, and I paled. "Okay, you two kids have fun!"

"You're not coming with me?" I asked, and he looked at me. Then he nodded. I felt a bit better. When we knocked on the door, Rache opened it, appearing in a hurry.

"Oh hey," she said, "ROBIN, STELLA! THE TWINS ARE HERE!" she shouted at the top of her lungs. Then she ran off, carrying a bunch of suitcases. "I'M LEAVING NOW! STELLA, MAKE SURE ROBIN DOESN'T EAT TOO MUCH JUNK FOOD, AND ROBIN MAKE SURE STELLA DOESN'T STAY UP TOO LATE! I'LL GET YOU TWO SOMETHING FROM LONDON!" We were surprised at the loudness of her voice, she normally had a calm quiet voice, much like Stella's. "Oh say hi to your father for me," she told us.

"HAVE FUN IN LONDON!" chorused Stella and Robin, and then we could hear them argueing. Finally, Stella was tossed out of the room, and she angrily banged on the door.

"I need my ipod for the car ride! Let me in! It's my room!" she shouted. "And I wanted to wear skinny jeans, not a skirt! And- eep!" Stella was then shoved back out, holding her ipod, and Robin dragged her down the stairs. Stella was wearing a purple short sleeved scoop-neck, and a yellow ruffled skirt with matching ballet flats. Her hair was down, and slightly curled at the tips. "I feel like a Barbie doll," she muttered, reaching for a yellow bow in her hair, but Robin slapped her hand away.

"I think when you forced me to dye my hair blonde I looked like a Barbie doll. But you're actually more like a Teresa doll, you know, one of Barbie's slut friends," mumbled Robin cheerfully.

"I feel sooo much better now," said Stella sarcastically.

"What's a Barbie doll?" asked Hikaru.

"It's like the American counterpart of a Japanese Rika doll," explained Robin, then let go of Stella. "By the way, I locked your door, and I have the key. You'll never find out where I-"

"It's inside your jewelry box, right?" asked Stella, and Robin froze.

"Hey isn't it about time you two kids get going?" asked Robin pushing Stella towards the door. Robin grabbed me by the arm and pushed us out of the house, then closed the door. An audible click could be heard, but that didn't stop Stella from trying to open the door. She even tried to get the spare key, but then Robin's voice interrupted her. "I have all the spare keys, you won't be needing them. And I won't be bored, because I just got, One Missed Call, the Grudge 1,2,3, the Ring 1, and 2, and... The Simpson's Movie! So go on and have fun, your phone is inside your purse with your ipod, and don't come back before two hours are up! Have fun you two crazy kids!"

"Fine! You know what? I will go and have fun! I'll be on a lot of rides, while you're just stuck at home watching movies!" snapped Stella, and then Robin and Hikaru were laughing. "Come on Kaoru-kun, we're gonna have more fun than they are," said Stella, slightly calmer.

At the Amusement Park!

"Wow, look at all the rides," said Stella excited. She looked so cute, like a little girl. She tugged on my arm, "Kaoru-kun, can we ride the roller coatser first?"

"Which one?" I asked, glad that she was excited. She pointed to this mega huge roller coaster that seemed to be endless drop. I sweat dropped, did she really want to go on that thing? It was huge. "How 'bout something smaller? We do have at least two hours here."

So we rode a bunch of roller coasters, and rides that spun really fast, and rides that went up and down, and we even played some games. Pretty soon, three hours were quickly spent. We both sat down at a table, and because the stuffed animal I won was too big, we put him in his own chair. It was this huge panda with a cute pink bow on it's ears, so Stella named it Pandi, then began to laugh at the strangeness of the name. We were both drinking lemonade, catching our breaths from running around the whole place. Pandi got weird looks from various people, she was the "impossible prize" at the ring toss. It was the only one left, and I won it, so I felt proud of myself. I would have felt even prouder if Angie hadn't grabbed every ring in mid air and placed it in all the bottles.

"Well that was fun," said Stella smiling, and she looked over at Pandi. "I'm still surprised you were able to win the panda, everyone claimed it was impossible." I laughed, somewhat nervous. It's not impossible if your ghost friend does it for you. "Oh look, there's a ferris wheel!" said Stella, pointing to the round metal contraption. It was painted bright colors, and it looked like fun.

"Do you wanna go there next?" I asked, no longer feeling nervous. I don't even know why I was nervous to begin with. Stella's calm, bubbly personality had almost a refreshing effect. She nodded, so we all (Me, Stella, and Pandi) went over to the ferris wheel. A little girl that looked like Angie began to talk to Stella, while I handed the operator the tickets.

"Have you two heard about this ferris wheel?" asked the operator, who was a middle aged man. I shook my head, and he smiled. "Couples go on it all the time, and confess their love. Many who have done that create a special romantic bond. Is that why you and your girlfriend are riding this ferris wheel?" I blushed and looked at Stella.

"She's not my girlfriend, but it would be a nice thought," I mumbled, and the man chuckled.

"Maybe if you confessed, you'd find out whether or not she likes you back," he said, and smiled reasuringly. When we got on the ride, Stella sat across from me with Pandi, and looked out the window. The sun was setting, so it looked nice out. As it slowly darkened, the lights turned on outside of the car, and inside too. We looked out the window, it looked cool seeing all the lights from below.

"I wish Hikaru could see this," I mumbled, then felt slightly upset that he wasn't here. Stella looked at me.

"After this, can we leave?" she asked, and I turned to look at her.

"You're not having fun?" I asked, and she shook her head.

"It's not that, I'm having loads of fun, you're the one who's not having a lot of fun. You miss Hikaru-kun," she said, and then she smiled. "Maybe we could go home and watch some movies, I doubt Robin saw them all. That way we'd all be doing something together." Then she rubbed her arms a bit. "Plus it's actually starting to get a bit cold for an early summer evening. And Robin didn't give me my sweater."

"Come here then," I said, and she carefully sat down next to me because the car was still moving. I took off my sweater and put it around her, but she began to take it off. "What's wrong?"

"If I take your sweater, you'll be cold," she said, and I laughed.

"You're the one who's wearing a short sleeved shirt and a skirt," I replied, then put my sweater around her again. Angie appeared to my left, but she seemed faded.

"I guess I'll say what ever Stella's thinking really quick, cuz my acrophobia is gonna act up," she muttered quickly. "Have you noticed how you're holding her?" she asked, and after a couple seconds, it hit me. After I put my sweater around her, my arm stayed there, so basically I had my arm around her shoulders. I never did that without Hikaru because I was nervous about what she would think. "Don't worry, she's so naive and oblivious to notice. All I'm saying is, find some way to confess, the time is perfect-" she stopped her sentence when the car gently stopped. "Crap, um, you could tell her now or later, but I better leave before I materialize and start screaming."

"It looks so beautiful out," murmured Stella, looking out the window. I looked out of the window with her, and noticed the beautiful lights out. I realised that I wish we could stay here forever. Both of us being happy, and seeing the amazing sight. But I knew that it would be impossible. According to Violet, my chances were slim. If anyone, it would be Nico here with her instead of me.

"Yeah, I really do wish Hikaru were here," I said accidentally, and Stella looked at me.

"Aren't you gonna consider my idea? We can all just watch a movie, that way, we're all having fun," she said smiling, and I smiled back. I guess I should make the best of my chances, and give it my all. After all, people win the lottery and they have even slimmer chances, who's to say that my little sliver of hope can't help me win?

"You're just amazing Stella," I said quietly, and tilted her chin up. I leaned in, and gently kissed her on the lips. I pulled away, and saw that she was blushing a deep red. I blushed too, it was extremely random, I don't even know where it came from. I smoothed down her hair gently, and she blushed a deeper red. "So, uh, a movie huh?"

Stella's POV

"Y-yeah," I stammered as we got off the ride. Did he just... kiss me? We walked quietly over to the limo, he seemed calm, but then again, I lookedcalm too. Really, I was confused about everything. He kissed me, so... what does that mean? Does he like me? He's my friend, but friends don't normally do that. Do they? No, of course not. Agh, how is he so calm? He just kissed me. Why? Wait, I asked myself if he likes me, but what if he hasliked me? If that's the case, how did I not notice before? Why is life so confu-

"Look, we're here," muttered Kaoru, interrupting my ranting inside my mind. "I wonder how many moves they've seen. You okay? I think you're getting a fever or something." I blushed, it wasn't a fever. "Oh, I see Robin was right, you do get sick easily." I knocked on the door, feeling stupid because it was my own home.

"Who is it~" sang Hikaru and Robin, laughing.

"The pizza man," I mumbled.

"The gay pizza man? We didn't order any," said Hikaru, and they began to laugh.

"Open the door, it's cold," I snapped, and Robin opened the door.

"Oh shit, I forgot to give you your sweater. Four hours huh? Oh jeez, it really is cold out today," muttered Robin pulling me inside the house. "I thought you guys would take even longer."

"We wanted to watch some movies," explained Kaoru, and Robin looked at me worried.

"I'm so freaking sorry, I left you out there in the cold, and now you got a fever," said Robin, then quickly ran to the medicine cabinet. "Here, drink this, it'll bring the fever down."

"I'm not sick," I mumbled, and Robin looked at me like I was crazy. "And it's not a fever. Anyway, that medicine tastes yucky."

"Oh?" she asked, looking at me. "Then do tell, what is that peculiar coloring on your cheeks?" I shrugged, even though I knew perfectly well what it was. It wasn't from a fever, it was just a blush. "If you don't know... then drink your medicine."

"I know what it is," I snapped, then stopped myself. If I acted any different than normal, she'd notice why I was blushing. "It's from... fatigue. I'm tired cold, and I think I should go check my email. I think cousin Cris, Ash, or Sam sent something." I quickly ran up to my room to think. If he has liked me, why didn't I notice before? Was it possible to notice? Or am I an idiot? I doubt that's the case. Maybe Robin's right, maybe I am naive. But was it really that obvious? I think I'll ask her after the twins leave, maybe she knows.

Robin's POV

"You did something, didn't you?" I asked, and me and Hikaru looked at Kaoru. They both came back looking calm, but you could obviously tell it was just a mask. He mumbled something quietly, so me and Hikaru leaned in closer. "What was that?"

"I kissed her," he mumbled, slightly louder. I began to laugh, as if would get the courage to kiss her.

"Robin, I don't think he's kidding," muttered Hikaru, and I looked at Kaoru.

"So she doesn't have a fever. She was blushing," I said, trying to piece together eberything that happened. I grinned. "This is good, really good. She's slightly confused, she doesn't know why you just randomly kissed her, and she's beginning to notice certain things. She's probably up in her room wondering if she's an idiot for not noticing. Heck, she might even be wondering if she likes you back. I think we should just let things run it's course."

"How are you so sure?" asked the twins.

"I know how Stella's mind works," I replied.

The Very Next Day...

"Hey Stella," called out the twins from behind her, and she jumped.

"Oh jeez, don't do that," she mumbled, and Hikaru smirked.

"Are you... scared?" they both asked, leaning in towards her. She took a few steps back, and their smirks widened. "Aw, it's so adorable seeing you all flustered like this, you're usually so calm."

"Stop scaring my precious daughter you devil twins!" said Tamaki, hugging Stella tightly.

"Tono, you're squeezing her too hard. She doesn't have enough air," muttered the twins, and Kaoru removed Stella in a way so that he was hugging her. She quickly squirmed out of his grip, and took a few steps back.

"I, uh, just remembered I have somewhere to be right now," she mumbled, trying to hide the blush on her face. She quickly left the clubroom and Hikaru and Tamaki began to argue about who was hurting her. Kaoru looked somewhat upset, so I went over to him.

"It's not your fault, she's just feeling a bit self conscious," I explained, and he nodded.

"I know. It's actually... kinda cute," he mumbled, and I looked over at Hikaru and Tamaki, who were now bothering Haruhi.

Stella's POV

Aw jeez, why did I feel all weird when Kaoru hugged me? It wasn't the first time, and it sure won't be the last. I felt like... I can't even explain it. My phone began to ring and I recognized it as Lilly's ring tone. "Hello?"

"Hey Stella-Bella, want to come with us? We're at that new cafe close by," replied Lilly.

"Mocha Latte?" I asked, naming the store.

"Yuppers. We're already there, so just come over."

"Meh, I got nothing better to do."

"See ya there Stella-Bella!" I quickly called Jennette, our driver, and asked her to take me to the cafe. When I got there, Nico, Lilly, and Kelly were there. I knew where this was going. "Yo, Stella-Bella, have a seat!"

"Hey guys," I said, and they all nodded in greeting.

"Coffe? Smoothie?" offered Kelly, and I shook my head. "Right then down to business."

"We want you to be our main vocalist!" cheered Nico and Lilly, and I shook my head again.

"I think Kelly should be lead vocalist," I said calmly. "Even if she does have stage fright, it normally doesn't get in the way when she's singing."

"I'd rather play bass though," said Kelly.

"But Rose can do that," I countered, and they looked at me.

"She wants to be a teacher," they all said, and I sighed. All three of them want to be in a band, and they wanted me to be lead vocalist, even though my voice was a soprano. It wasn't that loud, and Kelly's voice was amazing.

"Hey Kelly, can you come with me for a sec? I wanna go get a cd," said Lilly, dragging Kelly away.

"So what's on your mind?" asked Nico, and I looked at him. "You've been acting weird lately."

"Ha, no I haven't," I replied quickly. Then I began to think about how I've been acting weird. Did he notice that I felt strange around the twins? More importantly Kaoru? Well, Nico's a good friend, maybe he could tell me what's wrong. "Well, actually... I really do think I've been a bit off lately. I guess it started last night, when... something, happened. Something... strange."

"Oh," he said, though I don't think I gave him enough information to help me with. "Would this happen to involve a certain twin?"

"Yes."

"Okay... Can you help me with something? Ya see, for arguements sake, what if my really good friend liked this awesome girl? And this other dude, liked her too. But my really good friend thinks he likes her more. But the other dude seems to have more of her affection, and even though everyone says she loves me, I mean, him more, he can't shake off the fact that there's still a chance for the other dude," he explained, and I nodded. "What should he do?"

"Well, I think you- um, he should try just confessing," I replied.

"Oh really? You know I've met her before, she's very pretty, and I think I- I mean, he has a pretty good chance. She's very pretty," he said, somewhat dazed. "She has dark hair, and these really pretty amberish eyes. She's kinda short, but she has a very energetic personality to make up for it. It's weird, because even though I like her... she can be such an idiot!" said Nico laughing.

"I wish I knew her," I said, wondering if Nico was talking about Kelly.

"Actually, every time I give her hints that I like her," he began, no longer using the term "he", "she doesn't get it at all."

"In that case, shouldn't you just tell her?" I asked, and he looked at me. "If she can't take a hint, then you should just tell her."

"You really think so?" he asked, and I nodded.

"OMG, Kelly, sit here!" said Lilly, pushing Robin in a seat. "And wear this," she said, giving Kelly her baseball hat. Then Lilly ran quickly.

"What did she do this time?" asked Nico bored.

"She punched a cop," replied Kelly, and we sighed. Soon, said cop came over to us.

"Ah, hello sir and misses," he said, looking at us. "Have you seen a tall girl, light brown hair, orange shirt, black skirt? She was wearing a hat much like yours."

"She went that way," we said, pointing to the opposite end of the street.

"Thank you," he said, "by the way, nice hat." My phone began to ring, and I saw Robin texted me something.

Stella, you g2g, hurry! I'm starving~ D:

;p from, Robin~

"Oh, I gotta go," I said, leaving.

No One's POV~ (Cuz I know you all just luv the authoress' POV, LOL)

"Oh, I was just trying to give Stella a hint that I like her... again," muttered Nico, drinking his coffee. "Unsuccessful... again."

"You should try a more direct approach," sighed Kelly. "You know, that's maybe what I'm gonna do, and what Kaoru's likely to do."

"Why did you say he was likely to do that?" asked Nico suspiciously, and before Kelly could answer, he interrupted her. "I thought you were on my side! Anyway, how would you know what he's gonna do? Why are you so obsessed with-"

"Nico, it's an assumption," said Kelly. "Anyway, that's what people normally do if a person can't take a hint. Like me."

"Like you?" asked Nico, and Kelly nodded.

"Ya see, I like this guy, but he's so dense, he doesn't notice me. (I have a sense of déjà vu...) He's really cool though, and I really like him, but he's such an idiot, ya know? Everyone keeps telling him I like him, but he doesn't care, he just keeps going after this other girl."

"Who's the guy?" asked Nico, and Kelly's eye twitched in anger and annoyance. She stood up, getting her bag.

"I'm gonna go call a taxi," she muttered. "The idiot... it's you."

Gasp, I just interrupted the mega-tense moment there, oops.

Stella's POV

I ran to the bathroom, my eye hurt really badly. I looked at it in the mirror, and there was nothing wrong. I sighed. Then I noticed something... peculiar. Well, not really, because it was something I knew about. My eyes were golden. Or some could even say amberish. '...really pretty amberish eyes...'Wait a sec. Amberish eyes? I quickly pulled out the hair tie, and let my hair down to look at it. I have dark hair. Well, I knew that, I just never paid much attention until now.

I went to my room and sat down on my bed. Out of fatigue, I lied down and began to think. When Nico was talking about the girl that he liked... was he talking about me? My eyes widened. He did. He wasn't talking about Kelly, and I'm probably the only girl in Ouran with amber eyes. So then... both Kaoru and Nico like me? Do they expect me to like them back or something? What if I do? Do I?

"Stella, you okay?" asked Robin, coming into my room.

"Y-yeah," I said, still thinking about Kaoru and Nico. "Can I ask you something?"

"Sure."

"Hypothetically speaking, if I... knew two people who liked me, like liked me, how would I know if I liked them back?"

"Hypothetically speaking?" asked Robin, she looked like she already knew the answer though.

"Yes. Ya see, there are these two guys, and they like me, and I think I kinda like them back, but I'm not completely sure."

"Well, I think you should think about it really hard. And if it helps, Rose was talking to me a couple minutes ago, and she forgot these books. They're really stupid, because they have all of those love tests and shit. But if you really want, you can see which you like better," said Robin, showing me a couple books. "I was planning on giving them back today, but it's raining, and I don't feel like going outside, even if it's just to get to the limo."

"I don't want Rose's books, they're probably all full of lies," I mumbled, and Robin shrugged.

"Okay, just think it through."

I did just like she told me, and began to think about it. If Kaoru liked me, is that why he asked me to the dance? I thought he just wanted a random date. If Nico liked me, is that why he hugged me? He also called me cute. But according to that little girl we found, Anzu, she said Kaoru said I was pretty. I thought she was lying, especially when she said that I made his heart pound. So she wasn't lying? Even when she said that he said I was pretty, hot, sweet, cute, and funny? Ah jeez, why didn't Anzu keep her mouth shut? Now I'm blushing at the thought.

Well, I know that I like them both as friends, but do I like one of them as more than that? I can't really picture myself with Nico, I only know him as a friend, not in that way. Actually, I can't really picture myself with Kaoru either. I put on my head phones, turned on my ipod, and pressed play.

MidnightStar: I can't believe she's this naive.

Kelly: Happy Birthday!

MidnightStar: Yay! BTW, story's even closer to ending. I'd say in about 2 more chapters after this one.

Plz Review! I need it!
