Kanoi: GWWWAAAHHHH!!!! GOMEN FOR THE LONG WAIT! Last week was hell, and I just couldn't find the time to update. To make up for it I WAS going to post two chapters today, but I can't manage it. SORRY! Still, a great thank you to my reviewers:

Lina-Li1: I'm glad

innocentangel: Yeah, I wish my dates were like that, sadly, no. I date morons. And I TOTALLY agree with you. HITACHIINCEST FOREVER!

pixiepuff101: Definitely not a Tamaki Mind Theater. That is proven with this chapter. A VERY belated happy birthday, by the way. –sweatdrops-

FatesIronicTwist: It was fun to write as well. Loveless is indeed beautiful. Just wondering, what does YNM mean?

Seriously Moony: I'm surprised you didn't see it coming; I thought it was rather obvious. That may just be because I was the one writing it though, lol.

Wujianchia: I'm very glad.

RequiemElise: Well, here's more… Just sorry it wasn't sooner.

arbiter-cosmos: Believe it! Lol. Sorry for the long wait between updates.

anime-maniac-1001: I know what it means, Silly. I was just saying it was something I don't get often, lol. Don't agree with Hikaru too much though, it may go to his already big head.

Hikaru: Oh stop your blubbering.

Kaoru: Yeah. After all, they can't get anymore story if they kill you, so you're safe.

Kanoi: WAAAHHHH!!!! You two are so niiiiceeeee!!!! –throws herself at the twins, sobbing-

Hikaru & Kaoru: -.-;;

Hikaru: Kanoi does not own Ouran.

Kaoru: Now go read the story.

---------------------------------------

Fujioka Haruhi, now a beautiful woman of twenty-three, looked down at her watch and sighed tiredly. It had been a very long day. Law school was extremely difficult, but the brunette didn't mind. She was fulfilling her dream, and that made her happy. The woman's brown eyes quickly flickered down to her watch again.

"Going somewhere important, Miss?" asked the cab driver from the front seat.

Haruhi smiled at the man and explained, "I'm meeting my boyfriend for dinner. I'm just running a little late is all."

"Ah, well then… I hope you have a good time tonight," the driver offered knowingly.

"Excuse me?" asked the confused brunette.

"Well, only a few things happen between couples at the restaurant you told me to drop you off at," explained the driver.

"Like what?" asked Haruhi.

"I think I'll let you find that out for yourself," was the last thing to driver said, for at that moment he pulled up to the restaurant.

Haruhi stepped out into the cool night air, stomach churning. The cab driver's words had opened up a pit of worry, and suddenly she didn't feel so hungry.

When Haruhi stepped into the restaurant she was greeted by the hostess and led to the table where her gorgeous blonde boyfriend was waiting.

When Tamaki saw his girlfriend, he felt the usual butterflies in his stomach. Despite their having been together for sic years already, he still felt giddy in her presence. The blonde smiled brightly at Haruhi as he got out of his seat to great her. As soon as she was near enough, Tamaki enveloped the woman in a strong embrace and kissed her passionately. Haruhi felt her cheeks flare up and gently pushed her boyfriend away. She had never really grown comfortable with public displays of affection.

"You weren't waiting long, were you?" Haruhi asked, smiling apologetically.

"No, not at all," answered Tamaki brightly, "Now please, have a seat my lady, so that we may begin this evening."

That said, Tamaki pulled out Haruhi's seat for her and assisted her in sitting before taking his seat once more. When Haruhi found out that Tamaki had ordered the most expensive champagne possible, she grew suspicious. The blonde knew his long time girlfriend didn't like being treated like royalty, so the treatment showed he was up to something. Haruhi started to feel nervous again.

By the time dessert rolled around, the night had been going rather pleasantly. Haruhi had picked at her food and eaten enough to not make Tamaki suspicious of her nerves, and in turn the blonde had yet to pull anything weird or unexpected (outside his usual behavior). Now the waiter was coming around the corner with their dessert. After the grandeur of the rest of the evening, Haruhi was rather surprised that dessert was a simple cube of chocolate. Sure, it was prettily designed, but it was still simple chocolate. It really made no difference to Haruhi though, as she didn't really like sweets.

"Haruhi, you must try the dessert," Tamaki insisted, causing him to receiving a look from his girlfriend that insinuated she thought him mentally unstable.

"It's just chocolate," stated the brunette blandly.

"No, no, you must try what is inside," the blonde explained.

"Oh…"

When Haruhi picked up a fork, Tamaki stopped her.

"It is a chocolate box, Haruhi, you simply open it," he said.

Haruhi gave Tamaki another suspicious look before opening the sweet box. She froze. Inside sat a beautiful ring with a diamond that was probably the size of what had sunk the Titanic. The poor woman could only stare dumbly as Tamaki took the ring from the box and circled to table to kneel before her.

"Fujioka Haruhi, you made my life brighter than you could possibly understand that day when you walked into the third music room at Ouran. When you actually allowed me to take you on a date, you made me so incurably happy, and I have remained so with every passing day I have spent with you. Would you please make that happiness permanent by marrying me?" the blonde asked, staring deeply into Haruhi's brown eyes.

Haruhi was struck speechless. She could only nod a yes dumbly, and then she allowed the ring to be slid onto her finger. The damn thing probably weighed as much as what sunk the Titanic as well.

-----------------------------------

Hikaru: Wow… Poor Tono.

Kaoru: Haruhi didn't even give him a real answer.

Kanoi: It SO was a real answer!

Kaoru: -stares at Kanoi incredulously- She just nodded.

Kanoi: I'm the writer and what I say goes! Now hush up!

Kaoru: -rolls his eyes-

Kanoi: Don't roll your eyes at me!

Hikaru: Kanoi, can you PLEASE finish this up so we may all go to sleep.

Kanoi: Fine, fine. I realize it's quite short, but hopefully the content made up for that. Hope you all had a Happy Halloween/Samhain. See ya next week! (hopefully)
