Hey, all, I'm back!

Damn, I've been gone long, but life happened.

I have returned and with a new chapter! I have also gone back thru and edited the older chapters too.

I hope you all enjoy it, and I'm glad to be back!

~The Next Day~

~With Rose~

~Fast Forward~

Walking down the long halls of the deserted school *Another day down and another adventure with the crazies await me* as I push open the doors to Music Room 3. The club room is picturesque of an old tavern from a movie. Walking fully in, I slowly spin as I take in the space "Wow..." blinking at the transformation *How the hell do they transform this place so quickly?*

All around the room was a scatter of worn wooden tables with matching benches or stools. It's lit with all the candle lighting and stringed lights dangling above, giving a cozy feeling. The walls had some pictures and wall ornaments with material and rope draping across the ceiling. Barrels were scattered throughout the room filling the place out. One end of the room looks to be a bar filled with all sorts of items behind it.

On the counter were some mugs. I moved closer to pick one up. "Where do they find all this stuff?" investigating the cup. *Looks right out of a movie…all of it does* leaning over the surface to see behind the bar. "I could put you in contact with the company if you would like," Kyoya's voice jolted me backward, snapping my head to him. "Stop that!" pointing at him, annoyed.

Kyoya stood before me, all pirated out, causing me to get excited. "Pirates! We get to be pirates!" leaning towards him with a smile. Kyoya raised a brow at me. "Yes, today's theme is…" then got interrupted "Daughter!" a flying Tamaki glomping me from nowhere, causing us to fall. Groaning in pain, "Blondie…why…just why, buddy," being squished between the floor and Tamaki. Tamaki looked at me with a big excited smile. "Oh, I am so glad that you are excited for today!" looking at me ecstatically.

Shaking my head at the blonde, "Of course I am. Pirates are awesome….also can you get off me," causing Tamaki to scramble off me. He held a hand to me, which I gratefully accepted to get up. Looking behind him stood Kyoya and all the boys together in their pirate outfits. Looking at Tamaki, I see that he is also all decked out, but with a captain's hat upon his head *Of course, he got a hat* smirking as I pick up my bag.

"Honestly, we need a new greeting. I don't like being tackled to the ground each time we meet", looking at Tamaki before going to greet the other boys. Tamaki frowned at me, then looked at Kyoya. "Mommy daughter is being mean to her father," as I give Hunny, Takashi, Kaoru, and Hikaru hugs. "I am not! I just hate landing on the floor each time you greet me" as I stand between the twins with my arms on their shoulders and theirs around my waist.

"I am not getting in the middle of this…Rose, your outfit is in the back. Please change before guests arrive. Haruhi is already back there", Kyoya stated before walking off. Saluting to the Dark Prince, "Aye, aye" mockingly as I stuck my tongue out at Tamaki, making him go into the mushroom corner. High-fiving the twins, I took off into the changing rooms. "HARUHI! Where are you, little brother?" laughing left.

~With Host Club~

~Fast Forward~

After Rose left the boys to change for today's theme, leaving Tamaki in his corner, the Twins started poking at him. Tamaki jumped up and started to chase the twins around. "Get back here, you devils! You're making my darling daughter a rebel. I know it" Kaoru and Hikaru laughed.

Hunny looked at them all. "I'm glad that Rose is excited for today's theme," beaming at them. "Yeah," Takashi inputs with his nod. Causing the other three to stop. "Yeah, I'm surprised, really…." Kaoru started, "I didn't think she would be excited for her outfit" Hikaru finished with crossed arms. Kyoya wandered back over. "That's because she only heard part of today's theme," pushing up his glasses.

Tamaki looked at him with wide eyes. "She doesn't know?" tilted his head when a scream stopped the conversation making the boys look towards the noise. Haruhi came out first in her male pirate outfit with a smirk on her face as Rose followed after her. Very slowly, Rose came out as her outfit was hard to move in.

There she stood with her hair falling free with a simple tiara on her head. For a top, she had on a lavender seashell bikini top (think little mermaid just different color), and from the waist was a beautiful purple scaled mermaid tail. Rose's arms were hugging her stomach while one of her eyes twitched.

The boys blush at seeing her in that outfit. "I thought the theme was pirates….why the hell am I a mermaid and also the only one dressed as one!" Rose's eyes held fury. The twins nodded. "Yeah, this seems like a more accurate reaction," answered simultaneously. Rose started to wave her arms. "How am I going to move in this? I can only take tiny steps in this. I can't help out the Club in this," then gestured to the tail.

Kyoya stepped forward. "No, you assumed that it was just pirates. It's Pirates & a Mermaid," smirking at her. Rose glared at the dark-haired boy. "If I knew I wouldn't fall on my face, I would hit you…." grumbling at her predicament. Hunny walked over to her. "You look really pretty, Rose-chan," making the blonde girl blush, then smile at the older boy. "Thank you, Hunny," patting his head since she doesn't want to move much.

~With Rose~

After Hunny's compliment, I reach out to hold onto the door frame *I hate this…* as I held on to it for dear life. Tamaki came forward, "But daughter, you look so cute in it…" to hug me. Glaring at the boy, "No…no hugs for you! We need to figure this out before the girls come because this is a no-go", pointing at the blonde.

Kyoya adjusted his glasses. "Well, it's too late now…" gesturing at the clock showing that the Club was about to start. Throwing my hands up, I lost my balance and started to fall. "Ahhh," closing my eyes for impact, but instead, a warm embrace enveloped me. Opening my eyes, I saw Takashi staring at me. Looking to see him hold me bridal style, I grin at him. "You okay?" Takashi asked.

Throwing my arms around his neck, "My hero!" he blushed as he walked with me to where our set up at the entrance was. Takashi placed me gently on a barrel next to a fancy chair where Tamaki sat down. Patting my head as I adjust to sitting with the tail, Takashi left to stand in his spot.

Haruhi came and stood next to me as I threw an arm on her shoulder, fluttering my eyes at her. "No…" Haruhi responded as I pout. "But I didn't say anything…" whining back at her making Haruhi's eyes roll, "I'm not switching with you, Rose," giving her an annoyed look with a huff.

As the rest of the Host got into place, the clock chimed and the doors opened with a flurry of rose petals. "Welcome!" all in sync as the girls began to enter the room, looking at the transformation before them. Keeping a smile on my face *Huh, looks like Blondie's threat worked…* seeing that those three girls were nowhere in sight. Tamaki lept from his chair, taking off his hat, and began his speel making the girls swoon.

The girls flowed into the room, splitting into smaller groups going to their choice of Host. Haruhi patted my shoulder as she left me on a barrel to go to her designated area. Glaring at the ceiling *Mermaid…whyyy I want to be a pirate* gripping the sides of the barrel to keep my balance as I kick my tail. Sighing, I look around at the gang to see all the girls happy with the hosts.

Feeling two arms wrap around my midsection made me jump. "What the…" look to my side Hikaru grinning face met mine as I was lifted off the barrel "Hikaru, what are you doing?" making me wrap my arms around his neck. I looked over to his and Kaoru's area to see it empty.

Glancing up at his face squinting my eyes, "What are you two planning" a smirk graced his face. Hikaru began to jog to the changing room. "Simple just stealing some treasure!" entering the area quietly to see Kaoru standing there with a garment bag in hand with a smile. Hikaru placed me down in front of a changing room while Kaoru handed me the bag.

Looking between the two, I slowly open the bag and see the clothes. "Omg…you two are the best!" grinning as I threw my arms around them, giving a kiss on each cheek. I slowly spun and did my little walk into the room quickly to change.
