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

Hisano sat at the breakfast table smiling proudly and kicking her legs with happiness.

"So Hisano are you liking your new hair?" asked Haruhi.

"Mmmhmm," she responded still kicking her legs, "Now Daddy Kaoru can't try and put things in it."

"Well not as much," muttered Haruhi. She knew there were still plenty of times the host club would try putting things into her short hair.

"Good morning to all," sang Ranka walking into the dinging room, "Why is there a mini Haruhi sitting at the table?"

"It's me Papa," said Hisano turning around and smiling at him.

"Hisano, what happen to your lovely hair?" asked Ranka sinking to his knees in front of him.

"I cut it like Mommy's," said Hisano.

"Oh no not another one," said Ranka.

"Well I like it," said Hikaru, "I think it's cute."

"Yeah it's nice, easier to take care of," added Haruhi.

"As long as Hisano's happy with it then I'm fine with it," said Kaoru.

"Well whatever," said Ranka, "At least it's not as bad as when Haruhi first tried cutting her hair."

"Oh thanks Dad," said Haruhi, "I take it you're here to work with Kaoru and Kotoko?"

"That's right, got to make our little star shine!" said Ranka. He picked up the baby and rubbed his cheek against her, smearing a little bit of his makeup on her.

"So I take it I'm going to be planning the twins' birthday party alone?" asked Hikaru. Kaoru looked at the twins.

"If you need any help let me know alright?" he said.

"Alright," said Hikaru, "Let's get going to school kids." Both Mitsu and Hisano scooted off their seats and headed to the front door.

"I can't wait for everyone to see my new hair," said Hisano.

"Me neither they'll think it's funny like me," said Mitsu.

"It's not that funny!" said Hisano pushing her brother over.

"Okay you two calm down," said Hikaru breaking them up.

"I should get going too," said Haruhi, "Kaoru, Dad, please try to not ignore Benjiro and Umeko while we're out?"

"We won't," Ranka assured her. He scooped up little Umeko up in his arms while Kaoru took Benjiro and both headed to Kaoru's studio. The dropped all three off into their playpen before returning to work. The two worked hard that they never saw Hikaru come in after he had return home. When he saw how busy they were, he decided to just go ahead and take Umeko and Benjiro with him to go plan his other children's party.


'What to do, what to do?' Hikaru thought as he sat holding a pad of paper and pencil trying to figure out what was needed for the party.

"Let's see a merry-go-round will be nice, oh and pony rides definitely need pony rides. Heck might as well go ahead and get a petting zoo while we're at it. Hmm let's see, oh a bouncy castle most definitely. Let's see what else; hmm we'll need something more. What else, what else, what else? Oh I know a train ride around the yard will be nice and a ball pit! Yeah and a ball pit! We should probably also get a mini golf setup too. And I think a robot and princess entertainer will be nice to have. Oh and a face painter!" Hikaru kept adding more and more to the list. With each new thing added Umeko and Benjiro actually started looking at each other with worry.


"Hey Kaoru how's it going," said Hikaru later walking into the studio.

"And introducing Miss Kotoko Hitachiin-Fujioka!" Ranka said out of nowhere totally ignoring Hikaru. Kaoru walked out holding Kotoko in an extremely frilly pink dress with sequins and everything. On her head a big pink headband with a big pink bow. Kaoru held her up over his head before stepping back.

"Perfect," said Ranka, "Of course it would be even more prefect if she would smile when she comes out."

"Maybe I can try tickling her cheek or something right as we come out," suggested Kaoru.

"Good idea," said Ranka, "Let's try that." Kaoru walked back over to his starting position.

"And introducing Miss Kotoko Hitachiin-Fujioka!" Ranka said again. Kaoru rubbed Kotoko's cheek as he walked out this time making her smile a really bright smile. That she kept on the whole time Kaoru held her up over his head.

"Now that's more like it!" Ranka complemented. "Now we know that when you bring her on stage rub her cheek to make her smile."

"Are you two sure that'll still work even when she's in front a large group people under the stage lights and stuff?" Hikaru asked.

"Oh good point," said Ranka, "We should do this in front of some of your staff members don't you think?"

"Yeah that's fine," said Kaoru, "Did you need something Hikaru by the way?"

"I just had the party plan idea in case you wanted to go over them," said Hikaru holding up his list.

"No that's fine I trust you with it," said Kaoru.

"Are you sure? I think I may have gone just a little bit overboard," said Hikaru.

"It'll be fine Hikaru," said Kaoru, "Whatever you do will make it great I'm sure. But you better get going on it now so can make sure you get everything. Now I'm going to round up some staff members and get some of the photo lights set up so Kotoko can feel what it will really be like."

"Um okay," said Hikaru, "Can I watch?"

"No you go ahead and get started on that party first. We need to make sure the twins don't feel neglected and do something crazy with their hair again or something," said Kaoru walking past his brother with Kotoko.

"Um well okay then," said Hikaru.

"I'm sure the party will be fantastic Hikaru," said Ranka also passing him, "I mean look at the nice ones you did for the twins in the past."

"Those were all planned out by Kaoru," said Hikaru.

"And what you're not as great as your brother?" asked Ranka, "I'm looking forward to the party!"

"Well okay then," said Hikaru. He wondered if Kaoru and Ranka really noticed just how long his list was. He shrugged it off and started making the calls for the things he had decided they needed for the party.


"Hello Haruhi," called out Norio when she returned home that night.

"Hello Norio," Haruhi called back smiling.

"So how are plans for the birthday slash pageant going?" asked Norio.

"I have no idea. Normally Hikaru and Kaoru keep me out of things like that if you can believe it," said Haruhi.

"No I can," said Norio.

"So I can get it for that weekend?" they heard Hikaru ask over the phone walking into the playroom, "Oh good thank you, good-bye."

"What are you doing Hikaru?" asked Haruhi.

"Oh booking something for the twins party," said Hikaru, "That was the last thing I needed."

"And what was that?" asked Haruhi warily.

"A mini train for the kids to ride on," said Hikaru.

"Wow, well I hope the kids like that," said Norio.

"Daddy's got a lot fun stuff planned!" said Mitsu.

"Oh yeah like what?" asked Norio.

"Just this," said Mitsu holding up Hikaru's long list. Haruhi's eyes nearly bulged out of her head.

"Hikaru!" she said snatching the list and looking it over, "Isn't this a bit too much?!"

"Well I didn't think so," said Hikaru, "Kaoru said I could go ahead with whatever I wanted."

"Hikaru they're only four! Do they really need all of this?" asked Haruhi.

"Well four year olds do need a lot of entertainment," Norio tried to say in Hikaru's defense.

"Not this much!" said Haruhi.

"Well too bad because I just booked everything," said Hikaru.

"Everything?!" said Haruhi, "Where's Kaoru? I want to talk to Kaoru!"

"He's probably out in on the bigger rooms doing a rehearsal with Kotoko for her pageant," said Hikaru. Haruhi hurried off and soon found a room filled with staff and bright lights shining towards the center where she saw Kaoru standing with Kotoko in her dress and Ranka off to the side with a pretend microphone.

"…and the winner is Kotoko Hitachiin-Fujioka!" he said. The staff all applauded loudly as Kaoru took a step forward and held his daughter up. Another staff member walked up with a sash and a tiara and placed it onto Kotoko. She got a little fussy as the staff tried putting the things on her. She let out a little bit of a cry.

"Well she's doing better then the last time," said Kaoru, "She could be tired."

"Hand her over," Haruhi ordered as she walked up and held her arms up for her baby.

"Oh hi Haruhi," said Kaoru.

"Give me my baby!" Haruhi ordered again.

"Oh sure," said Kaoru. Haruhi rubbed her daughter's back and rocked her around calming her down. "Don't worry Haruhi we'll get her use to it."

"Let's hope so unless you don't want to let her keep doing this," said Haruhi, "Anyway, did you happen to see what it was Hikaru's planning for our children's birthday?!"

"No but I trust him," said Kaoru.

"Are you sure?" asked Haruhi. She held up the list.

"Oh my gosh, he planned all of this?!" asked Kaoru.

"And booked it!" informed Haruhi, "All of it!"

"Oh boy," said Kaoru, "Don't worry Haruhi this pageant thing it won't last long, I assure you."

"Let's hope so! You can't keep just focusing your time on just this Kaoru!" said Haruhi walking out with Kotoko in her arms.

"Maybe this was a bad idea all together," said Kaoru.

"Now now let's not quit when we've come so far!" Ranka insisted, "I think Kotoko's going to win!"

"Yeah but at what cost?" asked Kaoru to himself.


"Yay!" shouted all of Mitsu and Hisano's guests when they saw what was all waiting for them in the west lawn of the Hitachiin Mansion. Immediately all of the guests took off fast towards the different activities and entertainment.

"Wow this party's pretty extravagant," said Tomoka.

"Yes thank you!" said Hikaru still feeling a bit stupid about going overboard.

"Well it's like I said Hikaru," said Norio, "At least all of the kids are having fun." Which was true. The children were having the time of their lives.

"Where's Kaoru by the way?" asked Kyoya.

"He's probably off in his studio with my dad working with on putting Kotoko into the pageant," said Haruhi.

"How is that going by the way?" asked Marie.

"Fine as far as I can tell," said Haruhi.

"Hey Haru-Chan where's the birthday cake?" asked Hunny.

"The birthday cake?" said Haruhi, "It's probably in the kitchen."

"Actually it's not," said Hunny, "I had just gone there to get a sneak peak and the staff said they never made one."

"Was one ordered then?" Haruhi asked looking over at Hikaru. Hikaru looked like a deer in headlights.

"Uh," he sputtered.

"Uh-oh," said Haruhi.


Kaoru looked out the window of his studio out towards the party. He could actually see his kids running around and playing with the many different things Hikaru had planned.

"Come on Kotoko let's go and join the part how about?" he said picking her up.

"Oh no we don't have to just yet," said Ranka, "We can go out when they bring out the cake."

"When are they doing that?" asked Kaoru, "I'm going to go ask real fast."

"Well hurry back," Ranka insisted.

"I will I will," said Kaoru. He had barley started to make it towards the door when he happened to see Haruhi and Hikaru storming in with the other two babies.

"How could we have been so stupid!" said Haruhi.

"It's not your fault. I was the one that should have known to order the cake!" said Hikaru.

"But I could have done more to help!" Haruhi pointed out.

"What's going on?" asked Kaoru.

"We forgot to get the twins a cake!" said Haruhi and Hikaru.

"Oh I see," said Kaoru, "Can one of you take Kotoko?"

"Why?" asked Haruhi as she obeyed.

"You'll see," said Kaoru racing off.

"Where's he going?!" asked Ranka running towards the front door.

"To do something for my kids' birthday!" Kaoru called out. Hikaru and Haruhi both looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders. They headed back outside where they could continue the watch their kids play.

"So what are you going to do about the cake?" asked Hunny.

"Kaoru said he'll take care of it," said Haruhi, "whatever that means, for the time being let's just let the kids keep having fun." So the adults continued to keep watching the children play or eat some of the other food they had remembered to set up. However before long the children began to get restless.

"Mommy, Daddy Hikaru!" Mitsu finally whined running to his parents, "When are we going to get a cake?"

"Uh well um, why don't you open some of your presents first?" suggested Hikaru.

"No we want cake!" said Mitsu, "Want cake want cake!"

"Did someone say cake?" called out Kaoru. Everyone looked up towards the door where he was walking out with two chefs pushing a cart with a huge cake on it with four big candles.

"Whoa," said Haruhi.

"Come one everyone start singing!" Kaoru encouraged the guests. Soon everyone was singing the birthday song. At the end Mitsu and Hisano both blew out two candles each.

"Yay!" everyone cheered.

"First pieces go to the birthday boy and girl," said Kaoru, "And third of course goes to Hunny."

Hunny giggled.

"Where did you manage to get a cake this size?" Haruhi asked.

"I have my sources," said Kaoru relieving her holding two babies. Instead of taking Kotoko however he decided to take Benjiro. "I know it seems like I'm neglecting you and everyone else but I promise you I still love you all and will always do my best for all of you when needed." he gave Haruhi a sweet kiss to go with that. Haruhi smiled at the gesture.

"Thanks," she said.

"All I'll make up for all the neglect I've been doing after the pageant I promise," Kaoru added.

"Like what?" asked Haruhi.

"Well summer will be here soon. I say it's time for a cool family vacation," said Kaoru.

"Vacation?!" said Haruhi.
