A/N: Here is a request from Shortie87. I figure I have been beating up the twins and Tamaki a lot, it was time to give them a small break. And with this story, we are a little more than half way through the list. Enjoy!

#6… Pointer - Point to what you are trying to show someone or what you want someone to grab for you. Taka doesn't like me to use this method with him, but I have with Yasuchika.

#16… Conversation Starter – People will see it and will be inclined to ask about it.

#30… Turn on and off the TV – if you lose your remote, it can hit the button for you.

#31… Change channels on TV when you lose the remote control – no remote still, you have to be able to change the channel on the box somehow.

#35… Fly swatter – keeps the flies at bay.

After they declared an intervention for their best friend (which after a month still gave them shivers, dear reader), Hikaru and Kaoru decided that if you can't beat them, join them. At least they were going to try.

The day before they had arrived at Haruhi's apartment in order to work on a class project together and had been greeted by Ranka in a pair of sweats, with no makeup on, and his hair pulled back into a messy ponytail. This was probably the least appealing they had ever seen the parent of their best friend, but who were they to judge? (Ok. Let's admit it dear reader, they were itching to do something with the man's appearance, but unlike Haruhi, they knew Ranka cared what he looked like and everyone was entitled to an off day.) Actually, the bigger issue that they saw lie in what he held in his hand. A shinai. Had the whole family completely lost it? Had Satoshi devised a brain washing machine without anyone's knowledge and the Fujioka family became his guinea pigs? What was happening to the world as they knew it? The sky was surly falling! (Dear reader, this overly dramatic moment was brought to you by Ootori Hospitals. If you feel like you are losing your mind, they can help you find it… or find a nice padded room for you; and they can take care of your other medical needs as well.)

"Uh sir?" Kaoru looked to his older brother to continue because he was honestly at a loss.

"Sir, w-why do you have a shinai?" Hikaru managed to sputter.

Ranka blinked a couple of times as if he had forgotten what he held in his strong grip. Looking down at his hand, he smiled and scratched the back of his head as he chortled, "Oh! It's for those annoying flies. That lovely boy Satoshi told me that it could be as effective as a flyswatter and since my little girl threw ours out…"

A voice coming from further inside the apartment called out, "It had holes in it and the flies treat it more like a carnival ride than a weapon used for their demise."

"Any way… Satoshi said I can use this for the flies. They seem to be awfully bad this season."

"They wouldn't have been so bad if you hadn't thrown Tamaki-senpai through the screen when the window was open. The landlord hasn't been able to replace it yet and you keep insisting on opening the window without a screen!"

Filling up the space behind the redhead was a black cloud of menace. The only thing visible through the haze was the presence of three glowing tick marks.

"Awkward," Hikaru and Kaoru muttered to themselves.

Sweat dropping, Ranka nodded in agreement and sighed, "I've tried to apologize, but she doesn't want to listen to me." And then a lightbulb appeared over his head and he exclaimed using the shinai to point towards where the tick marks appeared, assuming his daughter was under them, "I know! Why don't you take my precious little girl out for a little while? She is in desperate need to get out of the house. Takashi got sick and cancelled their date last night and then she had been in a mood ever since. It is just all so sad!" To point the shinai at her might have been rude, but it was the safest way to indicate her location. If he had used his finger, she might have bitten it off; although, he hoped not since he was the only parent she had left and she loved him.

"Uh…" Hikaru was almost afraid to take Haruhi with them seeing the mood she was in, and staying in the apartment would just put everyone's lives in danger. He turned to his brother to see what he suggested.

With dread written all over his face, Kaoru cleared his throat and mustered up the courage, "Come on, Haruhi. We'll go out to lunch and then maybe go and visit Mori-senpai so that you can check on him. I'm sure seeing his fiancée would help speed along his recovery. After that, you can come over to our house and we will work on the project." He was handling the situation much like a person would a wild animal.

"Y-Yah, Haruhi. I know Mori-senpai would love to see you! And, you can get out of the apartment for a little bit."

Ranka stared at the black cloud and could have sworn he saw a couple strikes of lightning before she finally answered, "Fine. Let's go. Dad, leave the window shut. I know how many flies are in here, and if there is even one more…" She left her threat hanging in the air. Haruhi felt on edge and needed a break. Between tests at school, the special project she had to work on with the twins – which meant for every hour they worked there were three hours of goofing off and her trying to rein them in (you know I'm right dear reader) – and not seeing her fiancé for almost two weeks, she was ready to blow a gasket. She needed out. NOW!

Grabbing her things, she followed her friends out the door and into the limo. Her father didn't even attempt to embrace her since he was too afraid of the aura she still projected.

True to their word, the twins took Haruhi out to lunch (dear reader, they only did this after they stopped at a store and bought her an appropriate outfit to wear) and then to the Morinozuka residence. They weren't allowed to stay long since the wild host was contagious with the flu, however, as the trio got back into the car, Hikaru and Kaoru noticed their brunette friend seemed to be calmer and less about to rip someone's throat out. And when they got to the Hitachiin home, Hikaru and Kaoru decided it was best not to goof off and get right to work, lest the third demon of the Host Club decided to make another appearance.

Haruhi was actually a little surprised that she didn't have to get onto the twins or yell at them even once. Some may have even called it a miracle – she sure did. In fact, since she didn't have to worry about them, they actually finished their project in record time, and a week early.

After their friend left, the twins breathed a sigh of relief. She was a slave driver when she wanted to be one, and now it was time to relax. Haruhi was on her way home their limo and they wouldn't have to worry about her for the rest of the night, Ranka could take care of himself so they wouldn't worry about him, and nothing else required their attention. They were free, and freedom felt glorious.

That is until they decided to watch a little T.V. They couldn't find the remote and started arguing over who should be required to get up to turn the device on and change the channels… or put a movie into the Blu-ray player. Neither wanted to do it and it almost came to a fist fight until a piece of paper started to float down between them. "101 Uses for a Shinai?" They both said aloud. How had it gotten there? Where did it come from? They almost didn't care at that point, each wanting to win the fight until something caught their eye. #30 and #31… Could it be that easy? What did they have to lose?

Taking two shinai from their closet (yes, dear reader, they had some too), they taped them together with duct tape (very handy tool to always have around), and then attempted to see if they could get the television to turn on. They did it! A picture appeared on the screen. Next they needed to see if they could change the channel. Success! Maybe a shinai was more useful than they originally thought. And besides, it was easier to join the crazies than it was to constantly argue or face palm. They had their complexions to think of after all.

Two days later, they entered the school with shinais strapped to their waists. They had seen the error of their past ways and had fully adopted that a shinai was one of the best tools to have at one's disposal. The girls swooned and many students approached them inquiring about the shinai. Once again the list was right. They really were conversational pieces.

And that was how Satoshi got the twins to join the revolution… that along with the teleporter he and Kyoya had invented without anyone knowing (how else do you think the paper appeared, dear reader?).
