Chapter 3 "Acting in a Princely Manner"
The guest fluttered in one by one, taking their seats and grabbing the delights laid out on the table. Today we had no theme, every one remained normal, for once. I felt nervous for once. Trying to act the Tamaki-senpai wasn't easy. He looked at me and I looked at him. It looked like he wanted advice from me. I guess I can say I needed advice from him. We went into the back room where usually no one enters. It was the perfect area to talk plans out.
"Alright Haruhi, I need your advice. HOW DO I ACT LIKE YOU!!!!!!!!???????" He said, faintly screaming in my ear.
"Calm down senpai, first I act normal, unlike what you're doing. Also, be your self, well, not your real self, but me self. I think you get the idea. Most of my guest asks about the commoner life I live. Just simply tell them what you know and they will go along with it. Also, don't pull the princely charm on them; it might scare them, especially coming from my body,"
"You're right Haruhi. I will need to ask as poor as you do!" He said, standing up on chair, heroic pose like.
"Have fun with that senpai," I rolled my eyes again. That never seems to get old.
"So, I'm sure you curious about my charm, I could tell you were lost. I shall teach you every thing I know!"
Tamaki's point of view: Inside Tamaki's mind
"Alright now, to be me there are a few simple rules you must follow,"
"Oh great, this will be fun," My beloved Haruhi said with joy as she rolled her eyes at my charming good looks.
Rules on how to act the Tamaki-senpai
You must always welcome your guest with a greasiest smile, never in a bad mood; it will take away from your lovely charm.
Always flatter your guest, tell them something you know they want to hear like, "Even through these flowers look good on me, they would look better on you, my lovely princess." It makes them feel more welcoming and it adds to your princely charm.
Never talk back to your guest. You want your guest to come back for more, so make them feel welcomed.
If we are cosplaying, act both like your character and your self at the same time. Some times you can let the guest freely decided who you are, but still romance in a way that only you can.
Never spend too much time on one guest. Others have been dying to meet you and your charming ways. If you spend time on one guest, other guests won't appreciate you and will want to leave. This will make Kyoya-senpai very angry and you don't want that.
Always show your charming side when with a guest. You want to look perfect in all ways possible and that makes them love you more.
Lastly, never get jealous with another host or guest. You want to remain calm, even when your darling Haruhi looks beautiful across the room and you just want to huge her! Aww, she is my little girl!
"That Haruhi is how you act exactly like me. So, what do you think?"
"I think that is stupid, but whatever. I will try my best, ok senpai?"
"Fine Haruhi, just remember, your daddy will be watching you,"
Haruhi's point of view
I left Tamaki senpai and went over to my guest. Every step I said to my self, "Act like senpai, act like senpai." Eventually, it worked. In my head, all things senpai does and act, resulted into me doing the same thing. Creepy isn't it.
"Um…hello Tamaki. You look lovely today,"
"But you're the one who looks lovely today, my princess," I said and gently kissed my guest Koki.
She fainted and I just smiled. I lifted her up and she opened her eyes at me. Was this how senpai always got the girls to like him? I mean, I just acted like myself and speaking of myself, I wonder how Tamaki is doing. I beat he too is having issues.
"Tamaki…I wanted to ask you something?" Koki asked me.
"What is it princess?"
"Well…I…was wondering…" She kept pausing and it seemed like Tamaki gave me the queue. Sure, it was ok for me to kiss people as him, but not as me. Geeze, what a protected father I have.
"Don't worry princess, you will get your wish," I gently kissed the maiden on the lips and once again fainted. All the other girls around me blushed and "aww" in excitement.
"Next guest please," Kyoya said as the guests shifted seats.
This seemed to continue most of the day again. It was nice and for once, I didn't have to go to the super market and pick up coffee. Senpai got to do that and enjoyed the shopping trip. I did make sure some one was with him, incase things got out of hand, which they did and I shook my head. Instead of only just getting coffee, he picked up ramen(instant), cheap sushi, cake for Honey, giant tuna for me, instant tea, tons of candy and other goods. He was like a giant kid in a candy store, but worse, he was me. I can imagine people that I know saying, "Why is Haruhi acting strange?" and "Why she into the watermelon cart?" Like I really needed that.
When the guests were done, we sat around and finally relaxed. Tamaki was running around, probably ate too much candy. I finally got him to settle down after washing the sugar down with water. It seems to calm my sugar high rapidly. He was back to himself then.
"So you two, what are you going to do now? I mean, Haruhi you can't stay at your place and I don't think it is wise for him to stay at his own place, don't you agree?" Kyoya asked.
"I guess so. I can't have senpai alone with just my dad; I can imagine the trouble the two will cause,"
Haruhi's mind
"I remember when my little girl used to dress up in cute little pink dresses. Aww, she was so cute, we had to keep taking pictures of her!"
"Is that so. What about this picture?"
"Aww, that was a picture we took when she was three years old and she was naked in the bath time. I remember she said something silly,"
"I wish I could see that,"
"Oh don't worry you can! You have it on video,"
"Let's go watch it!"
End of Haruhi's vision
"I see your point," Kyoya said again.
"I know, how about one of us goes," Exclaimed the twins.
"You think that is a good idea?" I asked.
"Sure. I will stay with you Haruhi," Hikaru said.
"And I can stay with Tamaki," Kaoru said.
"Problem solved!" They both exclaimed at once.
"Well, I guess that couldn't hurt and I can always use some guy advice, but Kaoru, you will have to sleep in our guest bed room. I really don't trust you and your guy's devilish ways,"
"Sure thing and besides, some one has to keep an eye on the pervert," Kaoru said as he gave an cherish cat grin.
"I TOLD YOU! I'M NOT A PREVERT!!!" Tamaki said in angry.
"Sure you aren't" the twins said in the questioning tone.
"Enough you guys. I've been working on trying to get this problem solved, but I've run into another problem. Seems the government banned the company from making them. The bankrupt was a cover up from certain un-seeing eyes. I'm afraid we can't switch you two back,"
"You mean…" Tamaki looked over at me, worried for life as through it seemed.
"I'm afraid so. It could take years to develop one of our own. We will be lucky to even make a successful one at that,"
"It's ok senpai, we will get through this. I believe we can get this fixed and in the mean time, let's just act like each other. It can be fun! Like one of the commoner's games. I beat I can do you better than you do your self,"
"You really think that. Ok then, the game is on! I will be a better you and you can be a better me. The one that out does each other wins!" Tamaki said and raised his hand into a fist of sure victory.
"Does that mean we have to call Haruhi Tamaki and Tamaki Haruhi?" the twins asked confused.
"No, you guys can still call us our names. This will game will be hosted when were at each other places and at school when were in class or hosting," I said cheerfully.
"Then it's settled. The game will begin tonight. I except you to do well," Kyoya said and ginned.
"Hey, has any one seen Honey or Mori today?" Hikaru asked.
"Now that you say that, I haven't," Kaoru responded.
"You don't think that they went to try to fix the damage machine do you Kyoya-senpai?"
"I don't know, but let's start searching!" Tamaki said as we all began the Honey and Mori search.
I wouldn't expect those two to disappear, but where ever they are, we need to find them.
