The next day Renette was leaving her class when she was stopped by Haruhi. "Renette wait!"

Renette turned to Haruhi and gave her an impatient look. "What? I have to get to the cafeteria they are serving pudding. And I'm not missing that."

Haruhi guilty looked down and said. "I'm sorry for saying those things yesterday at the club. I wasn't thinking about how you would react. But thank you so much for trying to comfort me, it helped a lot."

Renette looked away and Haruhi could see a different look on her face. It wasn't cocky or devious but it was more sad and regretful. But as soon Renette realized what Haruhi was staring at her face morphed into the same sarcastic grin she always had. "No problem. Now can I get to the cafeteria, I don't want to have to punch some rich girls cause they stole all of the pudding."

Haruhi just nodded her head in response and Renette left the classroom, leaving a confused Haruhi behind.


On her way to the cafeteria she was blocked by a group of six girls who she recognized where in the host club. "I think we have a problem."

Renette looked past the girls and sighed. "Yes, we do. You are in the way of my pudding."

One of the black haired girls, probably the boss slammed her hand in front of Renette, pinning her to the wall. "I'm only going to say this once, stay away from Hikaru, Karou and Tamaki or your school life won't be as relaxing."

Renette pretended to be scared for the girls and said. "Oh no! anything but that!" and then she lifted her eye brows and said. "Are you really trying to threaten me right now princess? Cause your not doing a very good job. How about you go read a book and then try again later, k?"

Then Renette forcibly removed the girls hand and walked away but not before she heard her say. "I mean it! You stay away from them or else!"


After lunch Renette opened the door to the music room and she had to blink a few times to see if what she was seeing was real. The whole room had been converted into a jungle, with palm trees, flowers and the whole nine yards. "Am I on drugs?"

Hikaru and Karou noticed their friend and waved her over. "Renette! Your finally here!" Renette smiled at the twins and ignored the stabbing stares in the back of her head. "Hey boys, What the hell is all this? And why are you half naked?"

Suddenly Tamaki came up behind her and pulled her close. "Gentlemen don't bundle up in bulky clothing. It may be a chilly early spring out there in the real world, but here at the club we want to surprise our chilly little kittens with a warm tropical paradise. Oh yes. We've turned this place into nirvana, a balmy tropical island of everlasting summer."

Renette glanced at Tamaki with a stare that could make anyone run way. "First of all I'm going to ignore the fact that you just called me a chilly little kitten, and secondly, let go of my arm before I bite it off."

At Renette's words Tamaki let go of her like she was on fire and went to sulk in a corner.

No more then 5 seconds later Tamaki remembered something at left his corner. "Oh yes. I almost forgot to mention to you, ladies. Next week, the Ouran host club is sponsoring a party."

Soon after all of the girls were swooning and excitedly talking about the upcoming formal party that the host club was going to be a part of.

Haruhi sighed at saw someone at the corner of her eye and saw a young lady come towards her. "Excuse me. I hate to disturb, but I think it's time for the hosts to switch clients."

Haruhi embarrassingly looked at the girl and smiled. "Oh, I'm sorry. You must be my next appointment, Miss…"

"My name is Kanako, Kanako Kasugazaki." Just then she got really close to Haruhi and said "You're even cuter than I expected. I've decided. From now on, you're going to be my new favorite host, Haruhi."


The next day Renette was on her way to the music room because apparently Haruhi didn't have any past dance experience, being a commoner and all. So the host club decided to teach her the waltz for the upcoming party.

Renette opened a door, leading to the garden when she was splashed with bright red paint.

She looked down at herself and sighed. She didn't think that the bullying would start this soon.

She quickly ran to her locker and grabbed a spare change of clothes (Cause she always thinks ahead.) and found a nearby fountain where she could wash off the paint because the girls were ether to nice or stupid to use permanent paint.

She had just started washing her clothes when she heard a voice behind her say. "Renette? What are you doing? You were supposed to be in the club room ten minutes ago."

Renette smiled expected it to be Hikaru or Karou but quickly frowned when she realized that Tamaki stood before her. "Keep your pants on Souh, I'll be there soon."

Tamaki frowned at her statement and was about to yell at her when he noticed her cleaning. "Why are you putting your clothes in the fountain?"

Renette scoffed and continued cleaning. "Whatever. Don't worry about it. I'm used to it."

Tamaki then noticed the red paint and connected the dots. "Did someone do this to you?"

He took her silence as a yes and he continued to question her. "Do the twins know?"

Just then Renette slammed her cloths down and turned to Tamaki with an annoyed expression. "Look, this isn't anything new. Being friends with attractive twins has its downsides."

Tamaki looked at Renette in a new light. Had she been bullied at every school she's been to, even in France? Maybe that's why she had a rough exterior.

He sighed and grabbed her paint covered skirt and dipped it in the water. Renette looked at Tamaki in surprise and said. "Hey! What are you doing? I don't need your help."

Tamkai continued cleaning and said. "It's going to take you forever if you do it yourself. This way will be faster."

Renette glanced at Tamaki, shocked that the King of the host club was actually helping her.

They said nothing else and before they knew it her clothes were paint free.

He then turned to her and extended his hand. "Let's get to the club. They probably are looking for us by now."

She looked at his hand and smiled. "Yeah I guess"

Then she walked past him but not before turning around and saying "Thanks Souh."


The night of the party arrived and the host club had come up with a plan to patch together Kanako's and Suzushima's relationship. Apparently they are engaged to each other but they were also childhood friends.

There plan consisted of Haruhi dressing up as a girl and giving Suzushima a fake love letter so that he could say he loved Kanako instead.

Renette walked into the ballroom and saw thousands of students dancing and laughing. Hikaru came up behind her and spun her around. "You look beautiful Renette." Then Karou tipped her and said. "Yes, that dress is stunning."

Renette laughed and playfully pushed Karou's shoulder. "I sure hope so seeing as you guys designed it for me."

Hikaru and Karou shrugged there shoulders at her and saw Kyoya come up behind Renette. "It seems we may have a problem. The orchestra said that they are going to be late."

Suddenly Tamaki appeared out of literally nowhere and said "That's no problem Kyoya! I shall dazzle the lovely ladies with my beautiful piano music!"

Kyoya thought about this for a moment and said "That might do but we need one more instrument or the music will become boring."

Everyone became silent and before Renette could tell the twins to shut there mouths and exclaimed "Renette can play the violin!"

Kyoya turned to Renette and said. "Is that true Miss Lightwood?"

Renette looked away from the group and quietly said. "Yeah, I mean I guess so."

And then before she knew it she was on the stage with Tamaki Souh. She picked up the single violin on the side of the stage while Tamaki took a seat at the piano.

He then turned to her and said. "Do you know Ballade No.1 Op. 23?"

Renette laughed and Tamaki's question. Of course she knew it. It was one of her favorites to play in France. "Don't insult me Souh."

Then they started to play the piece, together and in sync. It had been so long since she had played this piece as her fingers danced across the violin.

The students were dazzled and stunned by the beauty in front of them. Even everyone in the host club were amazed, besides the twins of course. They knew how good she was.

When the piece ended everyone cheered and clapped as they saw the musicians enter the ballroom. They quickly took there bows and exited the stage.

When they were away from the crowd Tamaki looked at Renette in awe. "I can't believe you can play like that Renette. That was beautiful."

Renette smiled but quickly tried to brush off his comment. "Thanks. You weren't to bad yourself."

Suddenly Honey come up behind Renette and said "Ren-chan! That was beautiful! Now let's dance!"

Before she could say anything Renette was dragged away from Tamaki and onto the dance floor where she danced with Honey-sempi.

In the distance she could see Kanako and Suzushima running and she knew that the host club's crazy plan had worked.

Suddenly a spotlight shone on the couple and Tamaki said "Ladies and gentlemen. It is now time for us to begin the final dance of this evening's festivities. The last waltz of the night has been chosen by the host club for this couple."

Kanako and Suzima accepted the dance and they confessed there love for each other which on any other night Renette would have thought it was gross. But tonight it was special.

When the dance was over Hikaru and Karou shouted "And now we'll announce the queen of the ball."

"Congratulations, Princess Kanako Kasugazaki!"

"And for her reward, a kiss on the cheek from the king…"

Tamaki began to descend the steps until he heard Hikaru say "Haruhi Fujioka will stand in for Tamaki."

"Kyoya did say that a little accident towards the end of night might make even more thrilling for everyone."

Kanako was unsure about the kiss but Suzushima tried to reassure her. "It's just on the cheek, right? You should accept it. It will commemorate your graduation from host-hopping."

Haruhi on the other hand wasn't having it. "There's no way I can kiss her."

Kyoya glanced at Haruhi and smirked. He knew how to get her to agree. "If you do it, we'll cut your debt by one-third."

Haruhi then gave in saying "Well, it is just a peck on the cheek."

At this point Tamaki was freaking out about having his little girl kissing another girl. (His words not mine.)

Honey didn't seem to make things any better by saying "Hey, you don't think this is Haru-chan's first kiss, do you?"

When he heard this Tamaki had had it! There was no way his daughter was kissing Kanako! He ran to stop the inmate kiss but instead pushed Haruhi, who bumped into Kanako's lips.

Renette laughed at Tamaki's reaction and looked towards the host club. Well at least this night is something I'll never forget.
