DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN OURAN IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM

Haruhi knocked on Fusayo's door.

"Go Away!" Fusayo shouted from the other side.

"Are you okay in there?" Haruhi asked.

"No I'm not! I'm a freak and I hurt real badly! And for some reason those stupid excuses for servants forgot to pack my lotion!" shouted Fusayo.

"Hmm," said Haruhi walking over towards her room and managed to find a bottle of lotion in her own bag. She walked back over to Fusayo's room and knocked again.

"What part of go away don't you people seem to understand?!" Fusayo shouted.

"I just wanted to say I have some lotion here if you want it," said Haruhi. At that Fusayo opened the door.

"How is it that you have lotion and I don't?" she asked. Haruhi shrugged her shoulders.

"Do you want it or not?" she asked holding it up.

"That not the kind I usually use though," said Fusayo.

"Well sorry this was the only one I could find. Are you sure it's not in your bag?" Haruhi asked.

"Are you calling me stupid?" asked Fusayo.

"No it's just that sometimes we miss things when we're looking for that's all," said Haruhi, "Now do you want the lotion?"

"I am desperate for some relief with this thing," said Fusayo turning her neck as best she could look at her back, "But how am I going to apply it?"

"I can do it for you," said Haruhi.

"Why do you keep insisting on doing that?" said Fusayo.

"Doing what?" asked Haruhi.

"Keep trying to apply lotion to me," said Fusayo.

"Why is that so wrong?" asked Haruhi.

"You're not my mother. Don't you think it's just a tad bit inappropriate for someone like you offering to apply lotion to another girl's back?" asked Fusayo.

"No," said Haruhi, "I'd just be doing your back and nothing else. Are you scared I am?"

"Well," said Fusayo.

"Fusayo I promise I will just do your back and nothing else. If you start to feel uncomfortable just tell me and I will stop okay?" said Haruhi, "Unless you really really don't want me to do it." Fusayo moaned.

"Just make it quick," she said walking over to the bed and laying down onto the bed where Haruhi could see her open back still really red. She sat down next to her and started applying the lotion. Fusayo would start to moan every now and then.

"It's cold," she said.

"I bet," said Haruhi, "We wouldn't have to be doing this if you had made sure to get some on your back like I said before."

"You probably think I'm really stupid huh?" muttered Fusayo bitterly.

"Well yes but at the same time I know what it's like to be a teenager and do some headstrong stupid things," said Haruhi.

"Yeah right," said Fusayo.

"Hmm I did some stupid things, got myself into some stupid situations when I was a teenager," said Haruhi, "In fact the first time I went to the beach with your father and our other friends I did something kind of stupid."

"You got burnt like this?" Fusayo asked.

"Oh no something even more stupid," said Haruhi, "We were at one of Kyoya's family's private beaches in Okinawa and these thugs snuck onto the beach onto a cliff that was nearby. They started to harass some of the girls that was there with us and I went and tried tacking them on by myself."

"You did?" said Fusayo.

"Yep and as a result they threw me off the cliff into the water. Your father had to dive in to save me," said Haruhi.

"Did he really?!" said Fusayo.

"Oh yes and he was actually really mad at me about. The stupid part was I didn't even know why. I didn't think I did anything wrong by trying to take them on by myself. It took our other five friends to point out that I had done something wrong. I had made them scared and worried about what I did. Plus I am still a girl and there are men that can and will do their best to overpower and take contorl of me. Being bold isn't a bad thing but it's also a good thing to know when to back down and ask for help," said Haruhi. Fusayo was quiet for a moment tacking in what it was Haruhi had just said.

"Is it hard for you to ask for help?" she asked finally.

"Sometimes especially when I was a teenager; when I was growing up it was just my dad since my mother died when I was really little so I was usually left alone when he was at work. It made me feel like I only had myself to rely on. Of course being with your father and our friends helped me out a bit," said Haruhi. Fusayo heard he sigh happily and turn to see Haruhi smiling brightly. "I'm sorry I was just thinking of something else that happened in on that trip," she said, "It started to thunder and your dad was there to help comfort me during it. I kind of suffer from astraphobia."

"What's that?" asked Fusayo.

"Fear of thunder," said Haruhi.

"Really you're afraid of something like that?" asked Fusayo, "You don't strike me as the type that would be scared of something like that."

"Hmm," said Haruhi shrugging her shoulders, "Well anyway I think I'm just about done with your back. Are you ready to do to dinner?"

"No," said Fusayo, "I don't want to go to dinner. All of my clothes are bare back and I don't want people to see my burned back!"

"Okay that's fine," said Haruhi walking out of the room. She came back with a menu, "Do you see anything on here you want?"

"Really you're not going to try and force me to go?" asked Fusayo.

"No not if you're not up to it," said Haruhi, "What would you like?"

"The lobster plate with crab looks good," said Fusayo.

"You're right it does," said Haruhi. She grabbed the phone next to Fusayo bed, "Hi yes room service I'd like to order two lobster plate specials please." She smiled at Fusayo. "We can just stay here for night."

"You don't want to go and socialize with everyone?" Fusayo asked.

"Nah I'm fine with just staying here," said Haruhi. Fusayo shifted until she was sitting next to Haruhi.

"Thanks for not making me go to dinner like this," she said.

"Sure," said Haruhi.

"So is there anything else stupid you did as a teenager?" Fusayo asked.

"Oh yeah," said Haruhi, "Did you father ever tell you how he and I met and what happened?"

"No, I don't think so," said Fusayo, "What happened?"

"Well," said Haruhi, "It actually started the day before I started school at Ouran and I got gum in my hair…,"


Sonomi flicked a bit of food on her plate upset.

"Sonomi stop plying with your food," scolded Tamaki. Sonomi glared up at him. "Now stop that. You should know better then to push your poor little sister."

"Yeah sure," said Sonomi.

"Does anyone know when my mom is coming?" Naoki asked sitting down.

"Oh I know she'll be here soon with Fusayo no doubt," said Tamaki.

"Hey where did you get that cupcake?" Sonomi asked when saw a big cupcake with a blue whale on top of it on Naoki's plate.

"They just brought a few out," said Naoki. Sonomi was quick to jump and head over to the table for one.

"Hey Sonomi did see these cupcakes they brought out?" Mitsuko asked walking past her.

"Yeah is there any left?" asked Sonomi.

"No I got the last two," said Mitsuko.

"You mean there were two and you took both of them?" asked Sonomi.

"No there was three left and I already ate one," said Mitsuko already eating another one.

"And you didn't save one for me?" asked Sonomi.

"They all looked so good and I wanted as many I could," said Mitsuko, "Mmm and they're really good too. Mmm it's too bad you can't have one. I wish I had more, but all I have is one left. Mmm they're so good! I can't stop eating them!" Sonomi could feel her blood boiling as she went and smacked her sister's plate out of her hand smashing the last cupcake onto the floor.

"My cupcake!" Mitsuko cried, "Daddy, look what Sonomi did to my last cupcake! I only had two!"

"Sonomi what is with you today?!" said Tamaki running over to his two girls.

"Sorry, guess I'm not cute enough to get away with something like this!" said Sonomi bitterly. Tears were starting to fill in her eyes again.

"Young lady I am getting sick and tired of your attitude at the moment! Go back to your room and just stay there for the rest of the night!"

"Fine!" said Sonomi running out of the ballroom.


"…and Kyoya looked at me like I was the stupidest person in the world and told me that Tamaki's father was the chairman of Ouran," said Haruhi, "Oh I felt so embarrassed about that."

"You really had no idea that Dad was the son of the chairman of the school you went to?" Fusayo asked as she and Haruhi sat on her bed eating their meal. Haruhi giggled and hid her eyes in embarrassment.

"No idea," she said. Fusayo laughed.

"Wow that does sound stupid," she said, "I don't think I've ever had this kind of conversation with Aunt Aoko."

"Oh really?" said Haruhi.

"Yeah all she ever wants to talk about is what it is I need to improve about myself," said Fusayo, "Anything she ever has to say about herself is how perfect she is and how I need to be more like her and my mother."

"Like what?" asked Haruhi.

"How I need to make sure boys know I'll make a good wife so I can get myself a rich husband and be taken care of," said Fusayo.

"Why would you need to be taken care of?" asked Haruhi, "Aren't you going to take over after your father and grandfather since you're the oldest?"

"Aunt Aoko says that's more of men's work and I should just worry about being pretty. Real women don't have to work," said Fusayo.

"Well no offence to your aunt or anything but I have to disagree with you on that," said Haruhi, "I'm not saying a woman can't be a house wife if she really wants to as long as they're happy with that. However I can't help but think if you want to become the next head of your family you have every right to. Do you want to take over from your father and grandfather?"

"Well I like to think I could handle it," said Fusayo.

"Well luckily you also have a few more years to really think it over and decide what you want to do with your life," said Haruhi.

"It's so weird talking to you, you know," said Fusayo, "You're like an exact opposite of what Aunt Aoko is like."

"You know I can't help but feel to take that as a compliment," said Haruhi. Just then they were distracted by the sound of a door opening and slamming shut. Haruhi got off of the bed and walked out of the room to see Sonomi running past her towards her room crying.

"Sonomi?!" said Haruhi in shock.

"What's the matter with her?" asked Fusayo behind her.

"Maybe she's still upset about what Mitsuko did to her sandcastles," said Haruhi.

"What happened?" Fusayo asked.

"Oh Mitsuko went and started smashing a bunch of sandcastles Sonomi worked real hard on," said Haruhi.

"And let me guess Dad didn't do anything but defend Mitsuko's actions because she's so little and cute," said Fusayo, "God she's gets away with murder."

"Yeah I know," said Haruhi. She walked back into the room and took the two empty plates to the kitchen, "are you going to be okay for the time being?"

"Yeah I think so," said Fusayo, "I'm just going to my room and maybe watch some TV. Hey uh thanks for the talk. It was fun."

"Sure anytime," said Haruhi. She walked over to Sonomi's room and knocked at the door. No one answered but she could hear sobs coming from inside. Taking a deep breath she opened the door and walked in to find Sonomi lying on her bed with her face buried into her pillow to muffle her crying.

"Sonomi," said Haruhi sitting down next to her on the bed, "Honey are you still upset about the sandcastles?"

"No," said Sonomi still sobbing, "Mitsuko hogged up all the cupcakes during dinner! I got so mad I smacked on out of her hand and Dad sent me back here!"

"Oh honey I'm sorry," said Haruhi.

"I didn't mean to knock the plate out of her hand. I was just so mad about her hogging the cupcakes and her smashing my sandcastles! Dad doesn't even care! He doesn't care about me at all!" said Sonomi.

"I don't think that's true," said Haruhi as she managed to gather up Sonomi in her arms and hug her tight, "I think there's a lot of people who treat their youngest different from their other children simply because they're the youngest, but it doesn't mean they don't care."

Just then they heard the front door opened.

"We're back," they heard Tamaki call out.

"I'll be right back," said Haruhi walking out to the hallway.

"Haruhi where you and Fusayo during dinner?" asked Tamaki.

"We got cough up in a conversation so we had dinner here," said Haruhi.

"Oh you two were bonding?" asked Tamaki excitedly.

"I guess you could say that," said Haruhi, "Naoki Mitsuko go get ready for bed okay?"

"Sure," said Naoki.

"Night night Mommy," said Mitsuko sweetly.

"Night dear," said Haruhi. She looked at Tamaki, "I think you should go and talk to your daughter."

"Who Fusayo?" asked Tamaki.

"No your other one," said Haruhi.

"Mitsuko?" said Tamaki.

"No your other one!" said Haruhi.

"Oh Sonomi?" said Tamaki, "She just needs to calm down. She needs to learn not to be so mean to her sister."

"Tamaki, I realize she didn't have to shove her sister over like that," said Haruhi, "But wouldn't you be upset if something you worked on was destroyed like that. I didn't even get a chance to take a picture. Her anger just got the better of her that's all. You could have been nicer to her just the same. I think Sonomi's feels like you don't care about her."

"That's not true!" said Tamaki.

"Then go and prove that to her," said Haruhi.

"Alright then I will!" said Tamaki as he walked over to Sonomi's room. Sonomi looked up from the bed as he came in and before looking back down at her pillow.

"Sonomi honey?" said Tamaki sitting on the bed. Sonomi didn't respond. "Honey, are you still upset about what happened today?"

"I'm sorry pushed Mitsuko and I'm sorry I smashed her cupcake. There happy, now leave me alone!" said Sonomi.

"Honey, don't be upset," said Tamaki.

"How am I supposed to feel?" asked Sonomi, "It's not like you care."

"That's not true. I care very much thank you," said Tamaki.

"Yeah right," said Sonomi starting to cry again, "I'm not cute. I'm not all pretty. And I'm not a boy! Why would you care about me?! Now leave me alone!" She was surprised when she suddenly felt herself being lifted up and her face coming into contact with her father's shirt. She could also feel her him stroking her hair.

"Did I ever tell you about the day you were born? When your mother and I got to the hospital you had already been born and were in the nursery. When one of the nurses held you up your mother and I both started to cry and your mother kept going on and on about how beautiful you were. All I could do there was stand there and cry because I couldn't get over how beautiful you were. Neither your mother nor I could get over how happy we were in your life. I never forgot that feeling. I think about it nearly every time I see you even when I'm mad. I couldn't be happier then to have you as my daughter. Nothing will ever change that. I'm sorry your castles got wrecked like that and that you didn't get a cupcake. That was unfair to you." Tamaki kissed the top of her head. Sonomi sat there for a moment listening taking in what her father had said. "Maybe tomorrow before we leave we can try making one last castle so you can get a picture."

"Really?" said Sonomi.

"I'll make sure we stay until you're done," said Tamaki.

"Thanks Dad," said Sonomi.

"Good night honey, sweet dreams," said Tamaki kissing his daughter again before walking out.

He had barely gone before there was another knock at her door.

"Who is it?" asked Sonomi.

"It's me Naoki can I come in?"

"What do you want?" asked Sonomi. Naoki walked in holding a whale cupcake.

"Where did you get that?" asked Sonomi.

"It was the one I got," said Naoki, "I heard what Mitsuko did with the cupcakes and how she wrecked all your castles so I thought you could have mine."

"You don't have to do that," said Sonomi.

"Oh come on take it," said Naoki. "I was able to some other sweets at dinner.

"Okay thanks," said Sonomi taking the cupcake.

"Oh I wanted to show you this," said Naoki pulling out his phone and pulled up some pictures of Sonomi's castles.

"Wow you got pictures of them?" asked Sonomi.

"Yeah," said Naoki, "I heard my mom say she wanted to get a picture so I snapped a few of my own."

"Why do most of them have Cho in them?" asked Sonomi.

"Uh she just happened to be in them," said Naoki. Sonomi smirked.

"Thanks, for both the cupcake and the pictures," she said.

"Sure good-night," said Naoki heading back to his room.


"Haruhi!" said Tamaki walking into their room.

"Yes," said Haruhi, "Everything okay?"

"No matter what, even if you have to hit me over the head, make sure we stay long enough tomorrow so Sonomi can build another castle before we go and you can get a picture!" said Tamaki, "We can't leave until we do no matter what! You have to promise me you'll do your best to make sure I remember. You're better at it them me," said Tamaki. Haruhi as bit surprised.

"Uh sure," she said, "So did it go okay between the two of you?"

"I like to think so," said Tamaki, "I think there's still a lot more things for me work on with her but I think with you here it'll happen."

"Glad I could be of some help," said Haruhi. Tamaki sat down on the bed and kissed her. Soon the kiss made the two of them lay down together happily.


"Mmm this was great," said Haruhi.

"Yeah you're right," said Tamaki, "Hey do you realize what today is? It's technically our one week anniversary."

"Oh yeah you're right," said Haruhi, "I guess it was okay week. Think we can make it a second week?"

"Oh yes I think we're going to be together for a long time to come," said Tamaki.
