Tammy walked out to center stage and waited for the crowd to die down once more. "I'm going to sing another song called Big Girls Don't Cry by Fergie," The crowd respectfully clapped and the music started.
Kaoru leaned on his older brother's side and laid an arm on his shoulder. They stared at Tammy longingly. "She's amazing," they sighed.
Kyouya adjusted his glasses, "Yes she is," he agreed.
"Oh, Kyouya-sempai?" Kaoru asked.
"What's with the tux?" Hikaru asked. They both looked questioningly at him and slightly annoyed.
Kyouya smiled at them, all trace of his annoyance before has been erased, "You'll see," he plainly stated and pointed his attention at Tammy.
Then she began to sing. "Da, da, da, da. The smell of your skin lingers on me, now. You're probably on your flight back to your hometown. I need some shelter of my own protection, baby. Be with myself in center, clarity, peace, serenity," she started softly.
Then she started to go all out. "I hope you know, I hope you know that this has nothing to do with you. It's personal, myself and I; we got some straightening out to do. And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket, but I've gotta get a move on with my life," Tammy found herself narrowing her sight on Tamaki while she sang. 'Who is he?' she thought to herself. Tammy didn't know who Tamaki was; though he seemed so familiar. Tamaki watched her every move and looked at her both sadly and hateful.
"It's time to be a big girl now, and big girls don't cry," she gave the crowd a pouty look and some people laughed. "Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry. The path that I'm walking, I must go alone. I must take the baby steps 'til I'm full grown, full grown," She smiled at Haruhi; who smiled back.
"Fairy tales don't always have a happy ending, do they?" she sang; but she seemed to aim the question to Tamaki who seemed to well up with tears from it. He didn't let them fall though. "And I foresee the dark ahead if I stay. I hope you know, I hope you know that this has nothing to do with you. It's personal, myself and I; we got some straightening out to do. And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket, but I've gotta get a move on with my life," She sang perfectly. The twins swooned; Tamaki let a few tears slip; Kyouya smiled; Honey and Mori and Haruhi beamed with pride.
"Time to be a big girl now, and big girls don't cry. Like a little school mate in the school yard," Tammy started to look off into space, as if thinking of the past. "We'll play jack and UNO cards. I'll be your best friend," Tamaki let some more tears slip. "And you'll be my, valentine," Tammy started to subconsciously look at Tamaki without noticing. "Yes, you can hold my hand if you want to, 'cause I wanna hold yours too," she sung, and it seemed she was singing directly to Tamaki. He cried silently and no one noticed that she was looking at Tamaki; she didn't notice either.
"We'll be playmates and lovers," she then noticed that she was looking sweetly at Tamaki and blushed and looked back at the crowd. "And share our secret worlds. But it's time for me to go home. It's getting late and dark outside. I need to be with myself in center, clarity, peace, serenity. Yaeh," She smiled and some girls swooned as well as the twins.
"I hope you know, I hope you know that this has nothing to do with you. It's personal, myself and I; we got some straightening out to do. And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket, but I've gotta get a move on with my life. Time to be a big girl now and big girls don't cry. Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry," She cooed. "Da, da, da, da, da," she closed her eyes and the crowd went wild.
"She's so amazing," the twins chocked out while they cried. They wiped away the tears and got ready to go out again.
Tamaki smiled and wiped away his tears. 'I think she may have remembered. I'll tell her later,' he thought to himself.
Tammy took a bow. "Thank you!" the crowd settled. "And next up are the Hitachiin twins singing," she looked down at the crowd and her heart almost stopped. She stared wide eyed at the card and a tear slipped out of her eye. She couldn't look away.
The twins walked up behind her and put a hand on each shoulder. They leaned in close and whispered, "We'll take it from here." Tammy looked at them and smiled; she nodded and walked off stage.
And Tammy sat by Kyouya at the side stage watching with a smile on her face and tears in her eyes.
"Get up here Tamaki!" They went to the edge of the stage and held their hands out for Tamaki to get up on the stage. Tamaki took each hand and climbed up the stage and walked to the piano. He started it off.
Kaoru began, "Remember when, we never needed each other?"
Hikaru took it, "The best of friends, like sister and brother."
Kaoru took Hikaru's hand and they looked over at Tammy while hand in hand and Kaoru sang the next line, "We understood,"
Hikaru looked to Tammy with a smile and took off where his brother left off, "We'd never be."
"Alone," they sung together. Tammy's eyes watered.
They looked back at the crowd and Hikaru started again, "Those days are gone, and I want you so much. The night is long and I need your touch."
"Don't know what to say, never meant to feel this way. Don't wanna be," Kaoru sang.
"Alone tonight," they sang together. "What can I do, to make you mine? Falling so hard, so fast, this time. What did I say, what did I do? How did I fall in love with you?"
"I hear your voice and I start to tremble," Kaoru sang from his heart.
"Brings back the child that I resemble," Hikaru smiled at Tammy.
Tammy was tearing up and Kyouya put a comforting hand around her shoulders; she leaned on him. "They are so kind," she told Kyouya.
"Yes they are," Kyouya agreed.
"I cannot pretend," Kaoru sang and they both looked at Tammy.
"That we can still be friends," Hikaru smiled.
"Don't wanna be, alone tonight," They sang in harmony. "What can I do, to make you mine? Falling so hard, so fast, this time. What did I say, what did I do? How did I fall in love with you?"
Tamaki was amazing at his playing and most of the girls where fainting from the singing and piano playing.
"Oh, I want to say this right, and it has to be tonight. Just need you to know, oh yaeh," Kaoru sang, but it was in a confessional way towards Tammy.
"I don't want to live this life, I don't want to say goodbye. With you I wanna spend," Hikaru sang.
"The rest of my life," they sang together with tears in their eyes. They looked at Tammy when they sung it too.
"What can I do, to make you mine? Falling so hard, so fast, this time. What did I say, what did I do? How did I fall in love with you? What can I do, to make you mine? Falling so hard, so fast, this time. What did I say, what did I do? How did I fall in love with you?" they sung together and they cried it out with passion.
"How did I fall… In Love… with… You?" They sang the final words while crying and they walked off stage.
Tammy ran on stage and spoke fast. "That was Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin singing How Did I Fall In Love With You by the Backstreet Boys. And Tamaki was playing the piano. We are going to take a short intermission. In about ten minutes the last act will come on, be sure to stay for it, because it will be amazing," Tammy said with gusto.
She ran back off stage as everybody in the room moved to go to the bathroom and what-not. Honey, Tamaki, Mori and Haruhi where all behind stage with the twins and Kyouya.
Tammy ran to the twins and hugged them hard. "I love you guys!" she hugged them and they were a little shocked and then they hugged her back.
"We love you too," they told her and Haruhi looked kind of scared; Honey smiled big; Mori stood same as normal holding Honey on his shoulders; Tamaki looked pissed and went into his pout mode.
Kyouya looked very annoyed. "Tammy you should go get dressed for our song," he told her calmly. She broke up with the twins and left to change. The twins looked sad and happy at the same time and they all, excluding Tammy and Kyouya, went to their private seats.
