~With Haruhi~

Looking down at my only clothes left in my room, I threw on groaning *Next time, I need to hide an outfit that dad can't find…* quickly heading out the door to meet up with Rose. After a few minutes of walking, I stood in front of the shopping area, waiting for Rose. * I hope she didn't forget about meeting me here or what it is* closing my eyes thinking about the last time we went shopping together.

Two young girls stood in front of the shopping area, looking in awe as people rushed about. The young brunette looked at the blonde girl with questionable eyes. "Why are we here, Rose? It's not like we can buy anything…" furrowing her brows at Rose.

Rose turned to the brunette with a bright smile. "It's simple Haruhi, I'm going to show you how to shop for deals. Just like my mom does when we go out! It's easy, but not all deals are the good ones, so I'm going to show you!" grabbing Haruhi's hand taking off together in the shopping district.

" Haruhi…Haruhi! Hey, are you listening to me?" a loud voice broke me from my trip down memory lane. Opening my eyes, I found myself staring back in hazel ones that held concern.

A smile broke out on my face. "Hey Rose, I thought you forgot about meeting here, or you got lost again," teasing her as she frowned. Rose crossed her arms with a pout. "It happened one time! I will never live that down, will I" grabbing my arm, we took off into the shopping district.

~With Rose~

Quickly making my way down the street, I couldn't help but feel happy spending time with Haruhi. * It's been a long time since we hung out…almost like a lifetime ago* turning a corner. In front of me, there was the shopping center as I looked around for a certain brunette.

"Strange…knowing Haruhi, she should have been here before me" as I walked closer to the entrance. Scanning again, I spot a familiar figure moving closer with a smile. *Kinda weird seeing her in a dress since I know she likes to wear loose and comfortable things like pants and oversized shirts* quietly snuck up at Haruhi's side.

Tilting my head, I moved into Haruhi's line of sight. "Haruhi…Haruhi! Hey, are you listening to me?" calling her back from la-la land. Haruhi opened her eyes, staring at me with a smile. "Hey Rose, I thought you forgot about meeting here, or you got lost again," making me frown.

Pouting at her, "It happened one time! I will never live that down, will I" catching her arm, I grasp it. They took off with her to do some shopping. We weaved through the crowd, all while laughing together.

We came to a quick stop in front of the food market. Entering through the sliding doors while being out of breath. People were staring at us like we were a bunch of crazies *Ah, the excellent look of being judged by strangers…* as we looked at one another giggle as we got a basket each.

While carrying the baskets, we walked side by side down the aisles. Chatting about anything and everything while every once in a while placing something in our baskets. After spending time shopping, we made our way to check out.

Turning to Haruhi, "Wow, normally it feels like forever when I try shopping," placing my items up to scan. "I should bring you along whenever I need to go shopping now." smiling at her. Haruhi shook her head, smiling. "Yeah, well…if we went shopping all the time, we would end up getting sick of one another," nudging me as I paid the cashier.

Grabbing my items and placing them in my bag, I used one hand to clutch my chest in pain. "Oh, my heart! How can you say such things when I love you so much, Haruhi!" while Haruhi shoved me aside to pay for her items. Watching her pay *I wish she would let me pay for this…but she would just yell at me. We are both so stubborn* sighing with a smile.

Haruhi picked up her things as she raised a brow to me. "Why are you grinning?" shrugging at her. "Oh, it's nothing just thinking about how you are so mean to me," I sang as we left the shop. In comfortable silence, we moved along the streets. *Luckily, neither of us need to get things that need to be put away quickly, like milk or ice cream…* skimming the scenery, I stopped at a particular shop. Grabbing Haruhi's hand, I pulled her along with a big grin on my face as I read the sign ~Frozen Treats~.

A young man was following behind Haruhi as she made her way to the shopping area. Although he went unnoticed by the brunette, they did catch everyone else's attention in the area. Tamaki peeked his head up from behind a bush to see Haruhi standing there in a beautiful dress *Soo cute…* as his cheeks became flushed.

Haruhi began to look around then closed her eyes, causing Tamaki to panic, pulling out his phone dialing a familiar number. After a few minutes of ringing the line, they picked up, "Mother! Our beautiful daughter is all dressed up…I believe that she is on…a date!" Tamaki shouted in his despair corner.

The other side of the line was quiet than a short beep telling the caller that the other person had hung up. Tamaki looked at his phone. "Mother…Kyoya, are you still there?" He then decided to send out a mass text to all the hosts to meet at his location.

While in the middle of doing this, Tamaki didn't see Rose walk up to Haruhi and drag her off. Along with many pedestrians walking past him, they looked at him in worry, but most just ignored him, pulling their children away from the strange boy. Once the text was sent, Tamaki looked up to see where Haruhi was, but the spot was empty.

Tamaki's eyes widened in horror as he looked for her. "Haruhi… Where are you, my beautiful daughter…Daddy's coming to save you!" striking a heroic pose before wandering the area for her.

~Fast Forward~

Tamaki ran about like a madman trying to find where Haruhi went with her mysterious date. All the while, the rest of the club members have shown up, with Hunny leading the pack skipping with a big smile. Takashi followed behind with Kyoya thrown over his shoulder as the Twins picked up the rear.

Finally reaching Tamaki, the group stood before the distressed boy as Takashi placed Kyoya down on a nearby bench. The Twins were to the side "So where is Haruhi, My lord…" speaking simultaneously as the others looked with anticipation.

Tamaki was a bit out of breath. "I do not know…one minute she was there," pointing to the spot, taking a breath. "Then she was gone!" throwing his hands up. While this happened, Kyoya wandered off along with Haruhi and Rose running by.

~With Rose~

We walked into the shop that welcomed us with cold air condition and made our way to the display case. Looking through all the flavors when Haruhi's phone started going off, "Seems like someone is Miss popular," grinning as I went to order my treat.

Haruhi's eyebrows scrunched together at the called ID. "Hey, I have to take this…I will be right back. I'm just going to go right outside…" heading out the door. Nodding as I paid the man, "Thank you!" smiling as I left to grab a booth.

Once I found one, I slid and began to dig into my yummy treat. In the background, I heard the bell above the door go off, followed by footsteps. A body slid in across from me, thinking it was Haruhi. "Hey, Har…Kyoya?!" blinking at him. The dark-haired boy looked half asleep, glaring at me before laying his head on the table.

"Hello," Kyoya dully responded, causing me to smirk, "I'm going to assume that you are not a morning person" as I push my treat to him. Kyoya lifted his head, looked to the sweet then to me "Hey, I only took a spoonful…plus looks like you need it more than I do…it's coffee ice cream" as I leaned into the cushioned seat.

Kyoya gave a small nod before eating the sweet treat. After I saw him take a few mouthfuls to gain caffeine, I closed my eyes to listen to the bustle of the busy shop. A high, pitched voice had caught my ear. "Ugh…how the hell did a girl like her nab a guy like him…I mean, he's like a fuckin model compared to her…" as my eye twitched. Locking my jaw and biting back my tongue, I took a breath *Yeah, well, at least my voice isn't pitched enough to make dogs howl…bitch!*

"My lord…did you ever send Haruhi a text to see where she was?" Kaoru spoke up to Tamaki, who was growing mushrooms. Tamaki's head shot up. "No…" pulling his phone and sending a text. Hunny looked around while hugging Usa-chan. "Where is Kyoya?" which was met with silence, causing him to look down. A gentle hand was placed on his head, making him look up to Takashi for a silent conversation.

Tamaki continued to freak out because Haruhi had yet to answer the text and moved on to calling instead. Holding the phone close to him, waiting for her to pick up, "Why isn't she picking up…" muttered while clutching the phone tighter while the Twins looked unamused for being dragged out so early.

~With Haruhi~

Walking out of the shop, I moved off to the side, answering it, "What do you want, Sempai…" rolling my eyes as Tamaki went off onto a rant about one thing to another. Blocking it out, I pinched the bridge of my nose, taking a deep breath "Sempai, calm down and explain slowly."

Which caused another rant before Tamaki slowed down a bit to catch what he was saying. "My lovely daughter, I was just wondering where you were so that maybe the rest of our family can have a day out together…."Tamaki muttered from his end.
