The only other episodes I will be using in the story, in case you want to freshen your memory by watching those episodes, is 16, 17, 20, and 21. Any errors? Let me know. Comment and review!
Disclaimer: I do not own Ouran High School Host Club. There would have been romance by now and I would have been rolling in money instead of typing a story on FF.
Thunder by Boys Like Girls:
"Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know you're unlike any other?
You'll always be my thunder, and I said
Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors
I don't wanna ever love another
You'll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain
And bring on the thunder"
Chapter 17:
The group went to Karuizawa as planned. Of course, this did not happen without a little bit of chaos…
FLASHBACK:
"Uh… Why is Haruhi in a dress?" Halley asked curiously. Nobody but Kaoru and Kyouya are aware that Halley knows Haruhi's a girl, so she still needed to act surprised.
The rest of the host club was suddenly panicking, and looking for an easy way to avoid the question. "Uh… Uh… Uh… Uh…"Tamaki was at a loss for words.
"I'm sure that her boss requires her to wear that for a uniform." Kyouya covered for them. The rest of the host club breathed a sigh of relief.
END FLASHBACK
Their arrival was sudden and unexpected, so Haruhi was not prepared. She was working for her father's friend while her father was away. Not to mention the fact that Haruhi wanted to getaway from the Host Club for a while…
At any rate, they all wanted to stay there with Haruhi, despite the fact that they all had houses in that area. Hikaru and Kaoru came up with an ingenious plan: have a contest to decide who stays with Haruhi! They had to work there and be the most "refreshing" or something along those lines.
Honey was too cute, and Mori would be a contender if he was interested in winning (He was only in the competition for Honey). Kyouya was not interested, so that left the twins and Tamaki. While the twins were breezing by, Tamaki was struggling.
Kyouya, Haruhi, and Halley were debating this outside when Halley suddenly widened her eyes and searched the yard. the confused Kyouya and Haruhi did not comment, but merely looked for what had suddenly caught her interest. How could I have forgotten about this?
Out in the yard, for everyone to see, was Mori, chopping wood for some unkown reason without a shirt. And boy, was this a "refreshing" view, indeed...
Halley suddenly turned dreamy eyed, and leaned against her hand while her arm was supported by the table she and Kyouya were sitting at.
After coughing, the other two continued their conversation. A little while later, Hikaru and Kaoru showed up.
"So in the end… we're the winners?" The two of them said, finishing each other's sentence. Snapping out of her Mori-Daze, she turned her attention to the twins, only to succumb to her fan-girlish mood that day. Oh, God, I love when they do that… Halley thought to herself. Shaking her head, Halley said to herself, this isn't the right time to go all fan-girl mode on them…
The group discussed sleeping arrangements for if the twins won and then changed the subject to how the twins are always together.
Halley had a sudden realization. "Hey, wait a minute! Where would I stay when… if you guys won?"
Kaoru smirked to himself, noticing the slip.
"That's true," Kyouya replied. "It's not like you can stay in their house alone."
Haruhi gave sweat-drop at his comment, while Halley blushed.
"Well, will that room fit three beds? We can bring two beds from our summer house."
"No, that won't work," Haruhi replied. "You'll have a hard enough time fitting one inside there."
"No worries, guys, I might just wind up…" Halley stopped in the middle of her sentence. It would sound weird if I said 'I'll just bunk with Haruhi…' who, to me, at least, is supposed to be a guy. I should have just said that I knew she was a girl from the beginning…
While the rest were awaiting a response, Halley scratched the back of her neck. "Um… Uh… I'll… sleep on the floor?"
The twins looked at each other and then at Halley. "Come on, we can't let you do that!" Kaoru exclaimed. "You're a girl!"
"Not one of your best ideas…" Kyouya commented. Halley sent a glare in his direction
"We wouldn't let you sleep on the floor." Hikaru agreed.
"They would be awful hosts otherwise." Kyouya added.
"It's fine, guys. As long as the twins don't snore, I don't care."
Kyouya snickered and the twins sighed in defeat.
Halley remembered the following morning when Kaoru wound up sleeping on the floor because Hikaru moved around when he slept, so she pulled Kaoru off to the side after the conversation ended and warned him about Hikaru's restlessness while sleeping. Kaoru nodded and said that he would sleep on the side against the wall to prevent any aches and pains the following morning.
The rest of the day followed the episodes story line. It of course resulted in the twins winning and a cut on Kaoru's cheek, but other than that there was not any irregular mishaps.
