Tamaki had hit a dead end trying to find his mother. She had simply disappeared. There was no possible to find her. So he stopped looking.

Tamaki refused to say that he was giving up. He called it "putting the search on hold." And so he did. For four long years.

Tamaki graduated middle school and moved into Ouran High School, where he started the Host Club. Even without his mother, he slowly became happier with the Host Club. And then Haruhi showed up. Haruhi seemed to awaken something strange and alien inside Tamaki. He thought it was fatherly love at first. But on the day of the Ouran Fair, as he plunged into the river holding Haruhi in his arms, he realized it was something more. Tamaki finally learned what love felt like.

As Lady Eclair presented Tamaki with his choice to marry her and see his mother again, he knew something must be wrong. She obviously didn't know that his mother had left France. And since he could not find her, he guessed that nobody else really knew where she was either. But he couldn't tell her what he knew. So Tamaki played along. He needed Lady Eclair and his grandmother to believe that he was actually considering taking their offer. In truth, he never even weighed that as an option. Unfortunately, Tamaki was too good of an actor. The Host Club believed that it had been disbanded and that Tamaki was leaving. What Tamaki didn't realize was the lengths that the Host Club would go to get Tamaki to stay in Japan. At first it just made him feel extremely loved and accepted. But when Haruhi began falling off the bridge, towards the water, he realized what a fool he had been. He hadn't realized how much the Host Club loved him. He had put them all at risk with his search for his mother.

So he gave up. His mother was nowhere to be found, and he did not want to put his beloved Host Club in danger.

As he gave up, Tamaki learned to love Haruhi more and more. Together, they really became something special, a balance of romance and common sense. They balanced out their shortcomings. The rest of the club agreed that they made a perfect couple. Tamaki grew more mature, and Haruhi began to be liked by everybody...sort of like Tamaki.

So finally, under pressure from everybody else, Tamaki finally drew up his courage and walked over to Haruhi. "Haruhi..." he began hesitantly.

"Yes Tamaki?" she responded. Tamaki couldn't tell, but everybody else could see the smile hidden on her lips.

"Would you like to go out with me?" Tamaki spat out.

Haruhi's smile was now completely visible. "Yes, I'd love to, Senpai. When?"

"Told you so," came a chorus from the corner. Haruhi looked and saw the twins. "Be sure to ask him where you're going!" added Hikaru.

"So Senpai," asked Haruhi. "Where exactly were you planning on taking me?"

"How does England sound? We can tour the palace and ride on the double decker busses and eat ice cream and have fun! I want this to be the best first date ever!" His voice got sweeter.

Haruhi's mouth just about hit the floor. "Ah...Wow...Ack...Of course! Let's go!"

"Watch out England," said Kyoya. "Here they come."
