~With the Host Club~

Kyoya was leading, naturally getting to the door before anyone else. Tamaki and the Twins appeared out of nowhere.

~Five minutes earlier~

Hikaru and Kaoru were whispering to each other on their walk to the restaurant with the other, causing Tamaki to keep glancing back at them, trying to hear what was occurring. Suddenly the Twins gained sly smiles. "I wonder who will sit next to Haruhi…." Kaoru started, "Yeah, I guess it should go by class order…." Hikaru follows before turning to Tamaki. "I guess that means we get to sit next to Haruhi since she is in our class…."

Tamaki froze as he imaged what they would do if they got a chance to sit next to his daughter. "Daddy disapproves of this! I will not have you, two devils, be next to my sweet little girl!" as he swings his arms around like a wild man.

The twins smiled devilishly *He fell into our trap* Kaoru stepped forward. "Okay then, how about this, whoever makes it inside first…." Hikaru followed, "Gets to sit next to Haruhi, my lord," leaning an arm on his brother.

Tamaki stopped his tantrum then drifted into a daydream about Haruhi and himself. "I will be victorious! In the quest to save my daughter," with fire in his eyes, the three boys lined up. Haruhi stood off to the side with an irritated looked "Do I have a say in this because honestly I…" before she could finish, the boys took off, leaving a cloud of dust.

~In the present~

The three boys ran into the restaurant, just missing hitting the Shadow King in the impromptu race. Kyoya sent a glare then, closed his eyes to take a deep breath, and pinched the bridge of his nose. All while Takashi, Hunny, and Haruhi entered too, with Kyoya following after.

With everything inside, Hikaru and Kaoru were celebrating their victory as Tamaki sulked in his corner. "Ha, looks like we won so…" Hikaru smirked, wrapping his arm around Haruhi's waist. "We get to sit next to Haruhi," Kaoru continued, then wrapped his arm around her shoulders. Haruhi crossed her arms. "I did not agree to this" with displeasure.

Enraged, Tamaki pointed to the twins, "That was not a fair race! You pushed me back, and I will not allow my daughter to sit next to you scheming twins!" looking towards Kyoya. "Mommy, tell them that…" but was silenced by Kyoya placing a hand over Tamaki's mouth then pointing over to the scene in front of them.

Everyone saw that Rose was standing with a family and a very odd guy. It seems that Rose was about to burst out laughing as the strange guy was frozen and drained of color in his face. Slowly the group walked closer and caught the end part of the conversation.

"Okay, so that will be three adults and two kids. I know a great spot for you all if you would follow me please" Rose smiled at the family while grabbing the menu for them. Before disappearing, Rose glanced over to the group, causing them all to become stiff, but her eyes lingered on Haruhi before leaving.

~With Rose~

Leading the family, the twin girls began to cling to the skirt of my uniform. *Ah, fuck I forgot to change into my work clothes before I got here. Here is another thing for him to add to the list of things to yell at me. Maybe wandering around school today was not the brightest idea since I could not find ANY of my classes* hanging my head back a little.

I blinked toward the girls. "So, what are your names?" Giving them a tiny smile. Which caused the girls to provide wired grins; I gave them a raised brow and went to speak. "Well, our names are Emma and Emily," the girls interrupted me. Chuckling, "Well nice to…" only for their brother to run up beside us "And I am Nathan!" beaming at me.

"Well, nice to meet you three…I am Rose," giving a little two-finger salute with a grin *These kids are something…* as we came closer to the area I worked in, I looked at the spot that I told the kids. All the booths were identical, being in the shape of the letter U for there to be enough room while the table itself was a light brown with a plastic cover over it. Right across from the booth was a big-screen television in view.

Within sync squeals, the girls let go of my skirt and took off to the booth laughing. Nathan went over to help hoist them up to seats then climbed in after his sister. The couple entered from the other side of the bench; as they got comfortable, I set the menus in front of each of them to look over.

"Okay, so I will give you guys some time to look over the food…Do you guys know what you would like to drink?" as I glance around. "I think we will all have sweet teas" the woman smiled as the rest of the family nodded eagerly, pulling out my small notebook from my skirt pocket and writing it down.

"Well, I will get one of the other employees to bring it over right away since I…uh well…should get changed," laughing lightly with a tinge of red on my cheeks, looking down at my school clothes. "Go on before you get into any more trouble than need," the man laughed as he made the hand motion shooing me away grinning, I scampered out to the back, chuckling under my breath.
