Me: I just thought I'd like to add that this is the longest chappie I had ever written for any of my fanfics! Thanks 2 all my supporters, my llc, and my friends who have debuted in this chapter: allie and Amanda :3 3 2 all my pplz out there

I sat at a glass table, waiting for the host to arrive.

"Sorry I'm late, Amaya. I hope you weren't waiting too long." Tamaki said with a smile.

I shook my head. "It's fine."

"If you say so," Tamaki replied. The blonde grabbed my chin, "but I will not forgive myself for being so rude to a beauty such as you."

I turned my head away. "But how can I blame you for wanting to stay away from a disaster like me?"

"I would never want to be away from you Amaya. You have radiance brighter than the sun." My eyes closed a little. Tamaki noticed and asked, "Are you ok?"

"My mom used to call me her sunshine when she was happy...ever since she divorced my dad she's only called me by my name."

Tamaki's eyes misted over, "I apologize for making you remember such painful memories..."

"It's ok." But my words were choked out. I stood up, looking at the clock. "Time for me to go..." I sped walked away when a hand grabbed me by the shoulder. In self-defense, I grabbed the arm and flipped the person over to the ground in front of me. My hand clapped over my mouth as I stared at the person lying before me.

"Oh my god, are you ok? I'm soooo sorry. I just have this thing where I don't trust anyone who touches me from behind. Do I need to call an ambulance? Are you hurt?" I questioned.

The cross dresser blinked in shock, then dusted herself off. "I'm alright. So you know martial arts?" I rubbed my head nervously. "Yeah I took about a year's worth of tae kwon do."

Hoshimi yelled from across the room, "I'd be more careful Haruhi. She has a camo belt, that's right after a yellow belt!"

Haruhi turned to me. "Well I just wanted to know if you wanna help me plan a surprise party for tamaki-senpai."

"Sure why not? The rest of the host club should come over to my house tomorrow." I replied with a shrug. Haruhi nodded and stood up just as Tamaki ran over.

"Haruhi? Are you alright? Does daddy need to kiss your boo-boo?" he rambled. I stared at him with shock.

"Hold up, there's no way you're her dad!"

Haruhi nodded, "You're right he just like to think he is."

Tamaki gasped and sat in his depression corner. Everyone in the room shifted their eyes to Tamaki for a moment, and then returned to their activities. I felt bad for him so I went over to the violet eyed Host Club president.

"Tamaki? Will you be ok?"

Suddenly he returned to his prince character and laughed, "Of course I am!" I looked up at him, "I'm glad." Before walking away I asked, "By the way, did you have fun on our date last night?"

A chorus of 'what?'s erupted from the customers and most of the Host Club. The twins didn't react because they had planned it; Hoshimi added to the plan; and Kyouya probably knew because he was a stalker. Renge ran up to me and screeched, "You went on a date with Tamaki?"

"Uhhh, yeah. Why?" Her eyes sparkled. I cringed, "I started something didn't I?" Hoshimi, the Hitachiin brothers, and Haruhi nodded in unison. Just great, I thought bitterly. Renge then went on to ramble about a love pentagon or something like that. I had only walked out with the rest of my friends.

The next day, I came to class finding a huge surprise. "Hey Amaya!" two of my American friends greeted, huge grins plastered to their faces.

"Flaire! Aurora! Oh my god! I haven't seen you two in forever? How've you been?" I squealed after I'd hugged them.

Flaire was the first to reply, "America wasn't the same without you." Aurora nodded, "So we moved her…before we pranked that loser, Hiroki." The two chuckled. I could only smile at my friends. Someone behind me cleared their throat. I turned around to see my cousin tapping her foot impatiently.

"Sorry. Flaire, Aurora this is my cousin, Hoshimi. Hoshimi, this is Aurora and Flaire." I gestured to the two of my buddies. Hoshimi immediately smirked, "Nice to meet you, so you're in our class?"

"Yup." Aurora answered with an abrupt nod.

Suddenly, Haruhi came into the room. "Hey, Amaya! Don't forget our plan, after all today is his day." I nodded my head at the cross dresser while getting stares from my cousin and my friends. I whispered the plan to them so that they wouldn't bug me for the rest of the day as to what Haruhi and I were talking about.

Hoshimi face palmed. "Dammit, I forgot. Craaapppp!" I pat her shoulder with sympathy.

"It'll be ok, just help me out, ok?" My cousin nods in agreement. So, the plan began to unfold for the rest of the day. Later on after school, we went to the Host Club. Tamaki was spinning around the room in excitement. He noticed us.

"Hello everyone. Isn't today special?"

We looked at each other and sighed, "Just another day." Tamaki drew in a breath, "Are you sure there's nothing new?"

"Yup." We replied together. Tamaki was upset for the rest of the day. Although, I think only a few of us noted his sadness. I regretted being this harsh but it was for the surprise so I held back the urge to reveal the whole thing to the dog-faced blonde. Hoshimi asked me later on why I was a little upset. I explained to her my whole conflict.

"Don't worry Amaya! It'll all pay off tonight. Besides, I know you can't wait to see Tamaki smile and be excited." Hoshimi said, trying to calm me down. We finally arrived at our destination: my house. When the Host Club, my cousin, and I came together, came up with an idea to have a surprise party at my house. Kyouya had already sent Tamaki an invitation that had been written by me, telling him to show up at my house for some kind of Host Club get together. What he didn't know what that all of his favorite things would be in my house, with his regulars from the club and his classmates, plus us of course. Tamaki will show up at my door at six, greeted by Haruhi. He'll be led out to my family room, which is really big, and we'll jump out and surprise him.

I opened my doors to see a French wonderland. "Whoa," I breathed. Hoshimi finished my sentence, "This is amazing!"

Two voices answered, "It took a long time. It should look good." My cousin let out a little scream as she saw her boyfriend. "Kaoru!"

The twin with his hair parted to the left spun my cousin around. "I gotta go." He said sadly.

"Why?"

"In charge of blowing up balloons." He shrugged as though he was bored, but his eyes showed a bit of excitement. I smiled to myself. We parted and Hoshimi dragged me off to get ready. For tonight, she was wearing a dark blue shirt with a pair of white shorts that contrasted with her newly dyed, red hair. About an hour later, once I was dressed and made up after most of the guests had arrived, the doorbell rang. He was here.

Everyone got into places. I could hear Haruhi open the front door from where I was. I heard Haruhi welcome Tamaki in. Tamaki thanked her and they got closer to the family room. Tamaki suddenly stopped. I peered around from the wall and heard Tamaki say, "You look really cute Haruhi."

She had dressed up in a white tuxedo, probably to mask her identity as a girl. "Thanks, Tamaki-senpai." She said monotonously. From behind the wall, I could see Tamaki blushing. My heart began hurting at the sight of the two together. What's going on? I wondered.

Before I revealed my location, I hid behind the wall again. The light turned on and a chorus of 'Happy Birthday Tamaki!' rang out. I could hear Tamaki sniffling and thanking people; telling everyone how surprised he was.

"Happy birthday, Tama-chan!" Honey cheered.

"Happy birthday." Mori said.

"Happy birthday Boss." The twins said together.

"Happy birthday Tamaki." Kyouya said, most likely with a smile and his notebook in hand.

Hoshimi walked past me in a hurry. Her straightened red hair flew behind her, smirk on her face. I couldn't help but smile. My cousin was definitely excited for some reason. I'd probably find out later.

"Happy birthday, you idiot." I heard her giggle. I peeked out for a split second to see Hoshimi in Kaoru's arms and the Host Club gathered around the blonde.

I heard Tamaki slowly ask, "Where's Amaya?"

Unfortunately, I couldn't see what he was wearing or what his expression was, then Hoshimi saw me and I began to speed walk away. Hoshimi's heels clicked against the marble floor, taking me by the arm.

"And now," my cousin announced, "the woman who made this all possible, Amaya!" Hoshimi proceeded to throw me towards Tamaki. The crowd cleared and a pair of arms caught me. Looking up, I saw the violet eyes that would hold me captive. Tamaki was in a black button up shirt that contrasted with his eyes, and dark jeans.

Tamaki's POV (a/n: he was bound to have a POV in the fanfic at sometime)

I caught Amaya just before she fell. When she looked up, I finally got a good look at her. But tonight, there was an exceptional view from every angle.

Amaya was in a strapless dress 3 inches above her knees. The dress had a pink, black, and white firework pattern. Since I was taller than her, I could see her clea- what was I thinking about? The first thought that came to mind: Don't screw this up, Tamaki. Second thought: Daaaaaaannnnggggg.

Back to my, I mean Amaya's POV *cough cough* . .

"H-hi." He said eyeing me up and down. I blushed, "Happy birthday Tamaki."

"Thanks Amaya. You look beautiful, by the way." Tamaki complimented with a blush of his own.

Hoshimi punched Tamaki on his shoulder.

"Hey what was that for?" whined Tamaki, rubbing his shoulder in pain.

"It's your birthday! In America, we punch whoever's birthday it is the number of the age they are." She punched him again. I grabbed a soda from a passing waitress. Something people don't know about me though is that I do weird things when I'm hyper; so this was presumably going to end like it always does. The poor Pepsi was gone in one gulp. Then, it began.

Tamaki winced, "Owww… stop that!"

I hugged Tamaki, which surprised a few people. But no one said anything. However, Hoshimi kept punching Tamaki.

"Knock it off; can't you see I'm busy?" He shouted.

"You're never busy." Hoshimi teased.

Tamaki winked behind my back. I only found out because Hoshimi told me later on that night. I finally let go of Tamaki and poked my cousin, "Knock it off Hoshimi."

"No way." Hoshimi

I found a distraction soon enough. "Hey look it's Kaoru!" He looked around at the mention of his name, "What?" Hoshimi screamed with joy, "KAAAOOOORRRRUUUUUU!" My cousin ran to the twin and glomped him before he could expect anything.

Tamaki took advantage of the moment and hugged me, while my cousin kissed Kaoru while punching Tamaki.

I gaped at her. "How the heck are you able to do that?"

"Never underestimate Hoshimi and her powers." Tamaki told me.

Kaoru looked away, holding back laughter. I had a face fault, taking out my anger I pushed my cousin into a pool. When she surfaced she asked me, "Where did that come from?" The only response was my hysteric laughter. Hoshimi jumped out, chasing me. My cousin screamed, "Come here you!"

"No!" I laughed, running faster. She threw Tamaki in and pointed at the birthday boy, "Now you have to go get him."

I shot her a death glare. "Grrrrrr." Kaoru pushed my cousin in from behind but somehow she managed to pull him in with her at the last second. My cousin squealed once she surfaced, "Pool party!"

I squealed too and jumped into Tamaki's arms.

"What the hell?" Hoshimi said, staring at me as though I were on drugs. I giggled as Tamaki smiled at me.

"You're so cute." Tamaki mumbled. I only giggled more. My cousin shoved Tamaki under the water.

"Get a room." Hoshimi said. I pushed Kaoru under in retaliation. My cousin screamed at me, "I'm gonna get you." She went underwater and took Kaoru out of the water. "Don't forget I'm training to be a lifeguard." My cousin said pointedly.

"You pushed Tamaki under!" I retorted.

"Only for 3 seconds! You did it for 20!" she said bitterly.

"Is he ok?" I asked, feeling remorseful.

"I'll perform CPR he'll be fine. Tamaki, go get the respirator." ordered Hoshimi.

"Ok." He was back within a minute. Good thing I kept it in the pool closet.

"Clear!" Hoshimi yelled. Kaoru jumped up after being shocked, "I'm alive!"

My cousin giggled, "You owe me your life."

"Then I have something for you." Kaoru said lifting her chin. Hoshimi blushed and gaped at her boyfriend. I rolled my eyes. "You're so weird." Hoshimi laughed and replied, "Yes, I am a weirdo."

I shouted, "Weirdos rule!" Hoshimi nodded her head in mutual agreement.

"Yes yes they do I mean we do like weird guys." I pointed out. Hoshimi nodded once again.

Both of them thundered, "Hey!" We glared at them. "That was a compliment, baka." My cousin and I fumed. They pouted on the nearest couch. "Ohh."

My cousin rolled her eyes at Tamaki. "You're such a blonde, Tamaki."

"Kaoru was confused too!" he insisted.

Hoshimi shook her head and retorted, "That's just how he is!" Kaoru lifted his eyebrows but my cousin calmed him by Eskimo kissing him. The two of them cuddled and did all their little mushy couple stuff. I only think mush though because I want a boyfriend.

Suddenly, Tamaki looks at me weirdly for a second. "What?" I ask.

"Amaya, you said you wanted a boyfriend…" Tamaki mumbled. I blushed and changed the subject back to Kaoru and Hoshimi.

Tamaki twitches at the sight of the lovebirds. I reply to his twitch "Just walk away slowly." Tamaki looks at me again, this time scared, "Why?" My cousin pointed to ten girls planning to fangirl over him. "That's why!"

Tamaki begins to run from the girls chasing him all over my house. Kaoru frowned, studying Tamaki, "How come I don't have insane fangirls?" For a minute, Kaoru looked at my cousin.

"Because I killed them all." Hoshimi sang. Kaoru was right to eye my cousin. Typical, I thought. Her boyfriend nodded, "Ohh that makes sense."

I shook my head in opposition. "Nothing she does makes sense." My cousin turned towards me and fumed sarcastically but sweetly, "Love you too?"

I roll my eyes and grabbed the nearest weapon: a machete, "Hey Tamaki, if you want I can kill your fangirls so you can love me!"

Everyone shot me a weird look. I knew things were getting bad because I was toying with poor Tamaki. Now he had to suffer the hyperness of Amaya, which not many people enjoyed getting involved with.

"Is that a strange question?" I inquired, tilting my head. Hoshimi pivoted in my direction. She put it bluntly, "Yes." The Host Club laughed at our banter.

I sighed, "Ohhh." Kaoru took the machete away from me. As I began grabbing at it, he looked to Hoshimi and disagreed, "No. Let her have it. This is way too funny."

Tamaki put his charming act on. The birthday teen took me in his arms whispering, "No need to resort to violence."

The fangirls' squealing with lust became a raucous. Hoshimi suddenly shot them with Artemis. The group's eyes went to my cousin whose eyes were red. Kaoru groaned, "How many times have I told you, you're not Ikaros!"

She blinked her now sapphire eyes innocently."But you love it when I cosplay like her." Hoshimi said in baby talk.

Kaoru blushed, focusing on something else other than his flirtatious girlfriend. "Shut up." My cousin took full advantage of the situation. "Never," she uttered with a whisper, "…master." Kaoru blushed harder, squirming in agony.

"You're such a queer." I teased.

My cousin looked at me in confusion, "Whaaa?" Kaoru shot Hoshimi a glare as though it were so obvious, "It means you're weird." Hoshimi winked at Kaoru, "I know I am."

Tamaki had a blank look on his face. "Amaya, do I really have to be here?" I stared at him, "Yeah it's your party." He pulled out a microphone and sang, "I'll do what I want!" Tamaki's fangirls squeal louder, crowding him. Hoshimi stole the microphone and begins singing a different song.

We all blinked, surprised at the random act. Tamaki complained, "Really?"

"Yessssss." She hissed with a smile. Kaoru let out a snicker, "She's so strange."

I howled along with him, "Don't I know it!"

Hoshimi poked Tamaki out of boredom once she was done with her song. Tamaki groaned, "Noooo! Not again!"

I frowned. "Hoshimi, what have I told you about poking people?" She slumped forward. "Not to." I pat her head. "Good girl, have a cookie." I throw the cookie far from me and Tamaki. She ran to catch it. After eating it, Hoshimi grumbled, "I'm still waiting for my cookie mail."

I squint, trying to remember what she's talking about. Kaoru looked at me and said, "I'm confused…."

Tamaki finished, "…again."

"You always are." Hoshimi sighed, her comment directed at both of them.

"I apologize I haven't seen her." I said, somber.

My cousin screams with rage, "Dammit! I want my cookie!" Hoshimi started throwing a hissy fit on my couch; making pillows fly in all directions. How? I have no idea.

Kaoru grabbed her arms. "Chill out you're being naughty. You're supposed to be more angelic."

"I'm not an angel and you know it."

He stared at her pointedly, "Neither am I."

She got out of his grasp and giggled sarcastically, "Totally. That's why I saw you on the unicorn carousel? Right? Total devil!"

Kaoru face faults. "Dammit."

I laughed at his amber face. Tamaki stood in front of us with a blank expression. "I'm still confused." He complained.

"Shush Tamaki." Hoshimi growled.

I glared at her with all of my might. "You did NOT just tell him that."

Hoshimi paled when she sees me glare at her, hands behind my back, in a running position.

"Crap!" she screams, throwing Kaoru in front of her. "Help me!" begged the red haired cousin of mine.

Hoshimi finally bolts.

I screech as I chase the poor girl with a metal baseball bat clenched in my right hand, "You better run!"

Tamaki hid. He popped up for a moment, yelling to Hoshimi, "Is Amaya always this violent when it comes to guys she likes?"

Hoshimi nods at him, screaming, "Heck yeah!"

Regaining my usual self, I ran faster towards my target. "I DON'T LIKE HIM THAT WAY!"

Hoshimi ran backwards, laughing at me, "So that's why you jumped into his arms in the pool, and you asked to get rid of his fangirls right?"

My face heated up. "Shut uuuuupppppppppp!" I collapsed onto the floor. Eyes turned to me, filled with concern. I couldn't take another bit of this.

"I'm out of here." I mumbled, taking off for who knows where. A chair slid out and blocked my way of the family room entryway. Through my falling tears, I gazed at the person stopping me from leaving. Violet eyes met mine. He smiled at me with sympathy. Tamaki didn't have to say anything. Birthday boy took me by the hand, leading me to his towering cake lit with eighteen birthday candles.

A thought suddenly came to mind, he can do whatever he wants now. He's an adult.

"Happy birthday!" the guests, Renge, Flaire, and Aurora sang out.

"Happy birthday Tamaki." Kyouya and Mori said.

"Happy birthday Tama-chan!" Honey said, anxiously eyeing the cake.

"Happy birthday Boss." The twins said; Kaoru was holding on tight to Hoshimi who followed with, "Happy birthday baka."

"Happy birthday Tamaki-senpai." Haruhi lilted, grinning up at the guy next to me. I pulled away from Tamaki, making him look at me confused. I nodded at Kyouya and Renge. I walked over to an open area that everyone had cleared for me with a microphone in hand.

A stage was raised. Lights put me in all the people's attention. All eyes on me, I began.

"Happy birthday toooooo yooooooouuuuuuu! Happy birthday tooooooooo yooooooooouuuuuuuuuu! Happy dear Taaamaaaaakiiiiiiiii! Happy birthday to yoooooooouuuuuuuuu!" I sang, keeping my eyes on Tamaki. All I saw during that song was him. I heard cheers and came back to the real world.

Tamaki was blubbering by the time I was done. The party guests gathered around him, congratulating him. We danced, ate, and partied for another hour, and then it was time for everyone to go. The Host Club, with the exception of Tamaki, left after the guests did. Hoshimi left with Kaoru, winking at me and laughing as she went. Flaire and Aurora skipped off for some reason after hugging me goodbye and wishing Tamaki well.

At last, we were alone in my house.

"Amaya?"

"Yeah?"

Tamaki pulled me close to him. Before I could make any sense of what was happening, he ruffled my hair and then kissed my forehead.

"Thanks for an amazing surprise. You really made this the best birthday of my life." Tamaki laughed.

I was a little dizzy but I nodded my head mumbling, "You're welcome." Tamaki left, waving before hopping in the Suoh limo. On that April 8th, I fell head over heels, madly, desperately, completely, uncontrollably in love with a violet eyed, blonde, rich, eighteen year old baka, who was in a Host Club at a private academy, named: Tamaki Suoh.
