~With Rose~

*Finally, the end of the club* throwing a towel on the last table. I began to finish up the last bit of cleaning as Haruhi came over to me. "So the twins went over to your house?" She raised a brow to me with crossed arms.

Huffing as I stopped clean, "Yep, either they did it because they were worried for me or cause they saw an opportunity...considering what you said, it may be the latter one" taking the towel and began to place it with the other cleaning stuff.

Heading back out with my bag in hand, I see all the hosts gathered together. Squeezing between the twins laying my arms on their shoulders, "What's up?" looking to the Vice President. "For the Halloween theme, we are going with Rose's suggestion" Kyoya pushed his glasses up, nodding to me.

"Wait...What?" I blinked as arms wrapped around my waist, lifting and spinning me. "Oh, my daughter! I can't wait to see your pick for Daddy!" Tamaki yelled as he held me tight to him. As the world spun for me *Yeah... you're going to end up in your corner of despair...Sorry Blondie*

I patted Tamaki's shoulder to let me go. "Huh, why are we doing my pick" looking to Kyoya, weary at the reasoning. "Simple because your customers agreed with your choice, saying that they would like that" Kyoya gave the direct response *Ah, so you mean you can make more money if the girls are interested in the theme you mean* as I covered my face with my hand.

"Rose-chan?" A voice made me peak from behind my hand "Yes, Hunny?" looking at the older boy. "When can we go over to your house?" Hunny looked excitedly at me. *Right forgot I said they could come over...Well, I might as well* nodding to myself. "Alright, how about when we do the Halloween theme. Everyone can come over and even stay over if they want. can make it a sleepover and scary movie night since it's Halloween." Crossing my arm in front of me as the Twins cheered and Hunny smiled.

"Rose, are you sure?" Haruhi looked at me, causing a laugh to escape my lips. "Of course. It's what I would have normally done. Invited my group over to watch all horror films, and maybe trick-or-treat." shrugging my shoulders as Tamaki ran at me, lifting me and spinning happily.

"Blondie! Place me down!" laughing as I wiggle, trying to escape his iron grip. *I so welcome this chaos that will happen*

~The Next Day~

I burst down the halls after the last class of the day *This is Halloween...This is Halloween* smiling as I made my way to the Host Club. I dodged students in the hall as they tried to leave the school grounds. Quickly I burst into the Clubroom with a grin on my face.

I was looking around the room to see it all decked out with Halloween decorations *My favorite time of the year* smiling at the spider webs, jack-o-lanterns, and fake skeletons. "Boo!" loud voices screamed behind me, making me turn and wave, "Hey Hikaru, Kaoru," making them pout. "Why didn't you jump?" Hikaru annoyingly asked, "Did you hear us?" Kaoru asked, tilting his head.

Rubbing the back of my neck, "Uh well, you know during flight or fight response...I tend to go to fight. It's the reason my I can't go to haunted houses cause I'm afraid I will punch whoever is working there" looking at my feet as heat rises on my cheeks. Kaoru and Hikaru started laughing. "Oh, come on, it's not funny!" I stomped, pouting at them as they continued.

Haruhi came out in a black full-body suit. On her head was a cowl with cat ears and googles. "Well, hello, Catwoman," grinning at her outfit, "It looks good on you, Haruhi, seriously" as I go over to take the whip I saw on her hip. Haruhi moved far away from me. "No Rose," as I groaned at her, "Why..." following behind her as the twins disappeared.

"Rose-chan!" A body flung itself full force at me. "Ah, Hunny!" making me stumble and fall on my butt.

"Oh, sorry, Rose-chan," Hunny climbed off me, allowing me to get up. Looking at him, I saw him in a nice black three-piece suit with a monocle and his hand an umbrella. "You look adorable, Hunny as Penguin," grinning at the older boy.

Hunny grinned. "Wait till you see Takashi, Rose!" excitedly at me. "Oh, what is Takashi?" as I heard movement behind me, I looked over my shoulder to see the tall, silent boy. Takashi was in armor and had on a long jacket over the top, but his face mask was what caught my eye the most "Ah Bane, that's a good choice for you, Takashi," smiling up at the dark-haired boy.

Takashi smiled at me and patted my head. "My daughter, why!" I heard Tamaki yell as he came running in, waving his arms. Taking in his look made me smirk *Oh, that's just cruel...* Before me, Tamaki was in a suit split down the middle, one side crisp white while the other side was burnt and black. Tamaki's one side of his face was his normal handsome side while the other had make-up and special effects, making him cruel.

Biting my lip, "But Blondie, you look good as Two-face. I promise," smiling at the sad blonde boy. Tamaki is looking like a sad puppy. "Really?" up to me as I nod. "Yeah, you pull him off great," grinning at the now happy King of the Host Club. *Yep, Two-Face fits your swinging emotions* shaking my head at the now confident blonde trying to hug Haruhi.

Arms wrap around my waist, glancing to my right, then left, I see double. On my sides, both dressed head to toe in all green suits with purple ties. The ties had a question mark pin on them, while In each of their free hands held a cane with a gold question mark at the top. "Ah, the infamous Riddler...and now there are two of him help us all," joking at the twins who grinned at me.

"Ah, but Rose..." Kaoru started, "Riddle us this?" Hikaru finished. The Twins move in front of me, both leaning on their canes. "If you know me, you'll want to share me. If you share me, I'll be gone. What am I?" The Twins spoke together, grinning at the end.

Blinking at them *Did they come up with that or...* I muttered to myself, "A secret" I looked at them as they pouted. Rolling my eyes, "So what is a secret?" I looked between them. "I suspect it is your outfit today," a voice spoke directly behind me, my neck craned behind me.

There stood Kyoya dressed in tattered burlap-like material. On his face was a gas mask stitched into the burlap mask. "Ah, Scarecrow..." as I stared at him. *Nope, never mind, Kyoya has the best-fitted role out of all of us...* moving away to see everyone together looked like a weird villain convention.

Kyoya looked at me once again. "You should go change Rose..." then walked off. *Yep, he is the creepiest* sighing as I wander to the back area to change.

~Fast Forward~

Popping out of the curtain, I held a baseball bat over the back of my shoulder *Oh, I love this outfit!* as I skipped over to the mirror. My feet had on some simple black knee-high boots. My pants split down the middle, one side red with black diamonds and the other was black. I had a corset that was black and red, alternating with a leather jacket over it. The Jacket matched the color theme as the sleeves were opposite colors.

Pulling my hair into twin ponytails, I slipped on some goggles that rested on my head. Fixing the make-up, I stood back and cleared my throat. "I know the voices in my head aren't real, but sometimes their ideas are absolutely awesome." giggling as I quote Harley Quinn. Winking at myself, I marched out with the bat in hand, ready for anything.

Entering, I see the girls already entering, looking at the hosts with wide eyes. *I think we shocked them* laughing to myself when I felt a presence to my left. Looking over, I see Takashi standing there looking at me. Beaming at him, I waved energetically at him, "Hi Takashi!"

Takashi gave me a small smile. "You look pretty, Rose," as he patted me before leaving going back to Hunny. I felt my cheeks rise in heat *Takashi. You can't do that to me* placing my hand on my cheeks, trying to calm them down. "Rose! Omg, look at you!" Ariel's voice broke my mini-breakdown.

Ariel, Jasmine, and Kiko started walking towards me. I went to meet them in the middle, then did a little spin laughing. "Oh, I'm in love with this outfit," Jasmine spoke up happily. "Same, but it's thanks to you three for liking my idea yesterday!" explaining to them with my arms holding my bat behind my head. "Really?" Kiko looked surprised at me.

"Yeah, all the other girls like the costumes on the boys too" I glanced around to the other areas. *I think they may like it a little too much* chuckling as the four of us go to my claimed area. "Alright, enough fun, let's get to work!" clapping my hands as we got situated to work.
