I awoke a few hours later to the sound of my alarm going off. I was still so tired though.
"Son of a bitch." I cursed swatting blindly at the clock. My hand came into contact with something larger than my alarm though and I heard a very distinct ow! I opened my eyes, surprised that I would hear someone else's voice in my bed.
"You're so mean in the mornings, Lori!" Tamaki whined, sitting up in bed and rubbing his head.
"Ah… Sorry. I just really like sleeping…" I blushed, embarrassed for my lackluster charm in the mornings.
"Will you hit e again if I tell you that we have to get up?" Tamaki asked, moving away from me.
"Probably not." I sighed before climbing out of bed. I turned back to see Tamaki's face turn bright red. I was confused by his reaction before I looked down to see that I was only wearing a large t-shirt. I blushed a bit myself before walking to my closet and trying to play it off.
"I'm going to go get dressed!" Tamaki called after me as I pulled out my uniform.
"Alright!" I replied. As I pulled off my shirt I felt my face heat up once more. I couldn't get that dream out of my mind. Where the hell did that come from? I wasn't attracted to him. I couldn't be. He was my best friend! There was no possible way that could end well. Especially with his psychotic followers that were all in love with him. I sighed as I put my shoes on and moved to the bathroom to fix my hair.
"Breakfast is ready!" Tamaki called from my door.
"Coming!" I replied, giving up on my hair and just throwing it up in a messy bun.

The day went by rather quickly. I guess students at Ouran are only interested in something new for a day. As I walked the halls there was significantly less staring and only a handful of girls glared at me as they saw me with the Host Club. Overall it was a pretty relaxed day.
"Our guests are going to love what we have in store for them today!" Tamaki cheered as we made our way to the clubroom.
"You said yesterday that you wanted something Arabian? Like that week we went to Morocco?" I asked.
"Exactly!" He clapped his hands together excitedly. Once we made it to the clubroom I saw that several of the other hosts were already there.
"You're running late today, Boss." The twins said as we entered. They were dressed in matching orange pants with green jackets and no shirts.
"Lori-chan! Lori-chan!" Honey called, running up to me.
"You look so cute!" I smiled at the boy. I had to remind myself that he was older than me, but in his outfit he looked like a child playing dress-up.
"What are you going to wear Lori-chan?" He asked me.
"Oh… um… I don't know. I don't have anything…" I replied.
"I'm sure Tamaki has it covered." Kyoya explained, appearing already in a new outfit. The all black really suited him.
"Sorry I'm late!" Haruhi said entering the room. She was still in her uniform like me.
"Found them!" I heard Tamaki yell from a back room. He sounded way too excited for it to be anything good, but I couldn't help but laugh as he came running out. He was dressed in red and white and definitely matched the theme of the day. He looked surprisingly attractive with his shirt cut rather low.
"What did you find, Tama-chan?" Honey asked. My friend smiled before showing us the outfits he had found.
"This is for Haruhi and this is for Lori!" He told us. I looked over the outfits; the one for the younger girl was an off white with pink accents. It was really cute! I looked over mine and found that it matched Tamaki's a bit. The colors were the same but it looked beautiful.
"I guess we should go change then!" I smiled, grabbing my outfit. Haruhi led me to a separate room where we could change clothes.
"Do I even want to know why they have a woman's costume here?" I asked with a giggle as I pulled off my uniform.
"Probably not. They're a little… adventurous." She replied, sounding exasperated.
"And not really the brightest it seems, I still can't believe they thought you were a boy!" I laughed pulling the new dress over my head. The dress was floor length with sleeves stopped right after my elbows. I think my favorite part of the garment was that there was a long white sash that was attached the red dress that was meant to cross in front of me and rest over my arm. I wrapped it around me and adjusted it until it looked perfect.
"Yah, they're certainly… special." She chose her words carefully as she tied the pink scarf around her neck. I found a white scarf and tied it around my head, tucking my hair into it. I went to my bag and pulled out a compact mirror and my emergency make up kit.
"I can see that. When we were kids Tamaki definitely missed out on a lot of things because he was always off in his own little world. He barely noticed anything that didn't directly involve him." I giggled as I put on a dark eye shadow and some mascara, "Et, voilà!" I said in French, turning to her to show her my finished product.
"You look pretty." She smiled at me, adjusting her outfit.
"So do you! But here," I replied before moving to fix her hair a bit, "There you go. Perfect!"
"Thank you." She said before we made our way out to the others. In the time we had changed, several tapestries and other decorations had been placed around the room.
"Oh wow, this place looks great!" I grinned looking around the room.
"Lori! Tu es belle, trop mignonne!" Tamaki said in French gushing over my new appearance. I blushed at the fact that he called me cute but waved a hand in front of my face to try and distract from that.
"Don't be silly!" I told him, "How much longer until the first guests arrive?" I looked to Kyoya for an answer.
"Not much longer. How about we get in position?" the boy told me before moving everyone to be displayed across from the main entrance.
