Episode Seven: BBQ Anyone?

It's another beautiful day in... Not Japan... Where it's always raining... Or Korea... Where it's always snowing... It's a beautiful day somewhere. Anyways! Grimm and Iggy find themselves yet again in the presence of the most annoying person they have ever met. Tamaki. He heard yet another rumor about the commoner's life style. The one thing JP specifically was trying to avoid. A Barbeque.

"Why?" Grimm asked as the three of them, her, Iggy, and Tamaki, entered the room.

"Because it would be FUN! And I am all for making the Host Club a fun and exciting place for the people that come here," Tamaki said jogging to keep up with Grimm's irritated pace. Iggy stayed back, walking at her normal pace. "Besides, Iggy tells me that there are games and food and loooots of things to do!"

"WAIT! Iggy told you about it?"

"Uh oh. No! I showed him a child's book and they went for a Barbeque. I told him they weren't real and he went and asked Kyoya about it! I swear! I lied just for you!" Iggy said in a panic.

"Whatever. You can have your stupid little party if you want, Tamaki." Grimm said looking away.

"REALLY! Thank you!" Tamaki running towards the others.

"However, me or my sister will not be attending."

"WHAT?" Tamaki and Haruhi both asked.

"Sorry... But me and Grimm are tired of Tamaki's funded events. We really don't like when he hosts... I mean when the "club" hosts these events... They're not very fun anymore." Iggy said standing next to Grimm.

"What on Earth are you guys talking about?" Kyoya asked from his shadows.

"When did you get here?" Tamaki asked nervously. He didn't even see Kyoya when he came in.

"We're talking about having a Barbeque. I think it would be fun!" Haruhi pitched in.

"A Barbeque? What's that?" asked the twins in unison.

"It's a catered event that commoners have at the park usually or in their small backyards, if they have one. It's usually just family and close friends. Sounds spendy." Kyoya said pulling out a small notebook and pen.

"I want to have a Barbeque! Wouldn't that be fun Takashi?" Honey asked turning to Mori. He just nodded his head and made a small grunt like noise. "Then it's settled! We'll have a Barbeque!"

"YAY!" Haruhi, Tamaki, and the twins all cheered.

"We're not going..." Both Iggy and Grimm said.

"WHY!" Haruhi and the twins asked, a bit disappointed.

"Yes. Why not? You are some of the club's closest friends." Kyoya smiled.

"So? We're not going to something the "Club" is hosting!" Grimm said angrily.

"Weren't any of you listening? We said that like 20 billion times..." Iggy said, tilting her head a bit in confusion.

"I thought you were joking~!" Tamaki joked. Both the girls glared at him and he closed his mouth immediately.

"Then you host it." Kyoya said not even looking up from his notebook. Everyone stared at him. "What? They know more about it then we do. It would only make sense that they would plan it. However since funds for food and location will come from the club's budget it will be a club event meaning anyone from the school may attend (for a small fee of course). The hosts, however, will be our very own Lucifer. Sound good enough?"

"Not like we can say no now anyway..." Grimm said sitting down VERY irritated. She balled up her hands into a fist. Iggy just watched, worried her little sister would hit someone. Surprisingly she calmed down when Iggy gave her a lollipop. Iggy decided to be a jerk and skip out on the meetings for the next few days, but in reality she was just trying to get Kyoya and Grimm alone. It worked. Grimm blushed lightly every time Kyoya looked over her shoulder to check what she added to the list. It was kind of annoying too but still cute. While Grimm and Kyoya tried to work out the financial aspects Iggy went with the twins to buy decorations. Honey and Mori were in charge of finding toys and CHEAP sweets (which is why Iggy sent them to the dollar store... still stupid). By the time Kyoya and Grimm came to a somewhat agreement Iggy and the others had bought half of the supplies that they would need.

"Paper plates? Plastic Forks and Spoons? Disposable cups?" Iggy read down the check list.

"Check. Check. And... Check." Hikaru responded happily.

"Piñata? Candy? Random toys?"

"Check, check, check~ boss!" Honey responded excitedly.

"Chairs? Table? Table Cloths?"

"Check, check... and... ... Check." Kaoru said looking through some boxes.

"Rope? Tape? More rope?"

"Check." Mori said in a monotone voice.

"What... What do you need those for?" The twins asked staring at Iggy who didn't look up from her check list.

"To tie the piñata up, tape the opening closed because Honey overstuffed it... And ... Candy? Cake? Flan?"

"Check. Check. And flan?" They all looked over at Iggy who glanced up before sighing.

"Never mind. I'll get it myself. Charcoal? Lighter Fluid? Matches?"

"Check, check, and check. Why aren't we having a specialist barbeque chef come and cook our meals?" Tamaki asked as he carried in the charcoal.

"God damn it. If we did that it wouldn't be a traditional BBQ." Iggy said about to slap Tamaki for being stupid.

"B.B.Q?" Honey looked over at Iggy puzzled.

"It's short for barbeque. You guys should call it that from now on, okay?" Iggy said smiling mischievously to herself.

"GOT IT BOSS!" They all said together.

"Now we have the park rented out for Saturday from my understanding which is tomorrow so go spread the word around! Have fun!" After saying that Iggy ran to Grimm to bother her.

"I can't play right now unni. I have to go buy this stuff..." Grimm said almost passing Iggy. Before she could though Iggy grabbed Grimm's arm and made her stop and look at her.

"No need. Here's what we already have. I'm going to go buy the rest today so make sure Kyoya doesn't buy ANYTHING! Just tell me what else you have on your list~!" Iggy smiled at her dongsaeng.

"Well he's buying most of the food. I guess I could with him and make sure he doesn't over spend on things that could be bought cheaper. Here's my list. Thank you, Iggy."

"No prob sis! Now have fun!" With that and a small shove, plus a quick wink, Iggy had Grimm off to meet with Kyoya while she went to go buy the rest of the non-refrigerated food. It ended up to be a good thing for both girls because Kyoya almost bought all the REALLY expensive food and Iggy was able to get the rest of the supplies hassle free. The BBQ was almost here!

Grimm had to have the driver go to her grocery store since the place Kyoya was shopping at was a little, very, spendy. Kyoya was very happy at the huge price difference but worried about brands. Grimm told him there was nothing to worry about and she ate this stuff all the time, even though she was grabbing a bunch of random stuff. They seemed to be having a good time, especially since JP was able to convince Kyoya to push the cart. They were almost done. All they had to buy now were drinks. JP went to direct the cart in the direction of the soda and what not and ended up grabbing onto Kyoya's hand. She blushed before quickly moving her hand. Kyoya blushed lightly before surprising himself, and Grimm, by taking her hand in his. He pushed the cart skillfully with one hand while holding a blushing JP's. They finally finished shopping and went their separate ways.

DAY OF THE BBQ! While the boys and Haruhi had their half day Iggy and JP skipped school to get everything set up. Tamaki opened the host club for half an hour so they could all car pool to the park like the commoners. It was officially "Commoners" day at the host club. So they all arrived at the park to help if needed and were surprised to see the park was all set up. Iggy and JP had barely started the barbeque when everyone piled out of the car. Everyone was pretty impressed by the girls' hard work. Iggy had her head on a table as she watched JP start up the BBQ. The twins tried to take over but Grimm told them no. Mori took the spatula from Grimm's hand gently before bumping her aside. JP blushed but let him have it.

"Go play. You worked enough." Mori said looking at the meat.

"Th- thank you senpai." JP said lightly blushing.

Iggy got up from the table and ran to JP before jumping on her back. They almost fell over but Kyoya and Honey caught them before they could fall. Iggy dragged Honey and a couple of other people to play a bunch of games with her. The twins, Iggy, Honey and a bunch of random girls all played games on the side. Haruhi and a couple of guys eventually left the other hosts to play games as well. Tamaki, Grimm, and Kyoya all kept the remaining guests company while Mori cooked the food, girls fangirling all around him. Iggy realized no one had drinks so she went to a cooler and started randomly handing out drinks to everyone. Somehow she gave them exactly what they wanted... She skipped over Honey and he thought she was just being mean to him but after she finished handing out drinks to everyone else Iggy walked over to a gold cooler that was locked and unlocked it before pulling out two drinks. She walked back over to Honey and handed him the very special drink of Sparkling Soda. Honey just blushed lightly before taking the drink. Clueless Iggy just smiled sweetly before opening her drink and taking a sip. Everyone sat down to eat lunch after about an hour's worth of random play and those that weren't hungry continued to play. Mori had made everything pretty close to perfect so it was all very delicious. Iggy sat next to Honey after making a small plate for Honey and herself. Honey blushed at the thought of Iggy making him a plate, even though Mori had made it for him. They sat there and ate together before Iggy was called over by a couple of the guys. When Iggy stood up to go entertain them Honey grabbed her hand, not wanting her to go. Iggy blushed and smiled at Honey before leaning down and giving Honey a small kiss on the cheek. JP saw Honey sitting by himself, surrounded by girls, and went to go sit with him. Tamaki saw JP smiling and laughing with Honey and his retardedness, and his STUPID plan, grew even more.

As Iggy past Mori she smiled and waved. Tamaki, being the retard that he is, smirked to himself. The day went by and the sun was going down. A lot of people had already left and it was just a few guests and the Host Club. Iggy was getting tired so she officially ended "Commoners" BBQ day. Everyone else left after a few minutes and Iggy started cleaning up. Honey and Mori started to help her but she just shooed them away. JP was about to get up to help but Kyoya asked her to stay with him. She smiled and said ok before sitting back down on the bench. The twins smiled to each other before quietly getting up and leaving the two to themselves. Tamaki and Haruhi were putting away the food for Iggy even though she told them she would do it herself, the stubborn brat. The twins went to help Iggy take down the tents and put all the toys away. Honey still wanted to do something so Iggy had him find somewhere for the sweets to go. He was really happy about that. Iggy went to move a bench when she saw Mori's book bag in the way. She lifted up to move it out of the way when a book fell out. Iggy lifted it and read the title. "Barbeques for Dummies?" Iggy stared at it for a few minutes before quickly shoving it back into the bag and walking away. The sun had almost gone down. JP and Kyoya had watched the sunset together while everyone else put everything away. Iggy tapped JP's shoulder and startled them both. They realized that it was time to go and got up. Grimm bowed to Kyoya before walking away with Iggy. Mori watched from afar, a spark of jealousy rising in his cheek.

After everything was in the cars everyone said their goodbyes before heading home. Honey and Mori sat in an awkward silence. A different silence than they were used to. Eventually Honey asked, "Is everything ok, Takashi?"

"Huh? Oh... Yeah." Mori said looking out the window.

"If you say so.." Honey said looking down a little disappointed. "I miss her already..." He said mostly to himself.

"Hmm?"

"Oh nothing~! Do we have any cake at home?" Honey said smiling to himself, blushing a little.
