Stacy: Hello people! It's Stacy here, back by popular demand! And I brought with me some lost scenes from 'Where for arte thou, Kyoya?'!
Kyoya: It seems the author had some rejected, forgotten and unused story material and she felt like sharing it with us.
Stacy: You heard him right! Today you get special look at RBL's plan book for the story and see what didn't make it in! Alright Hitachiins! Roll the tape!
*Hikaru and Kaoru roll the tape across the floor like a ball.*
Stacy: Um...Haruhi...can you get that...
Haruhi: Yeah, yeah, I'm on it.
*Haruhi grabbed tape and puts it into the cassette player after glaring at the twins*
Lost Theater of 'WFATK'

Lost car ride with Nekozawa-senpai:
Once again I was stuck riding to school with Nekozawa instead of riding the train with Haruhi. Lately he seemed to be too friendly during our rides, so I had a special percussion item handy.
"So Stacy," Neko-kun said as he inched over, "How are things at the Host club?"
"Fine."
Nekozawa inched closer. "Is that so? I heard that you played a trick upon the Host Club King yesterday."
"Yeah."
"So," He was now sitting right next to me, "does this mean you are--"
"Any closer and I'll use my flashlight on you. And yes, I do plan to follow through." I said, pulling out the unlit torch and aiming it at him.
Immediately he shot to the other side of the car, head down, looking very sorry for himself.
"What did we learn today?"
"That you are a true mistress of evil..."
"Good."
I was going to write this into the story, but I forgot about it until Stacy went to live with Honey so I had to dismiss the idea by that point. Also, Stacy and Neko were supposed to be more flirtatious with each other, but that never happened..... (Kyoya is thankful that it didn't)
End of clip.
Lost entrance to the Host Club:
"Has anyone seen Stacy today?" Kyoya asked, concerned about the location of his photographer, and why she wasn't at the Host Club working.
"Nope. I haven't seen Stacy-chan all day." Honey chirped while inhaling cake like usual. "Isn't that right Usa-chan?" The Lolita made the toy nod its head in agreement.
*Crrrrr~eeeeaakkk*
The large, dark, medieval doors opened, and in popped a figure bearing a cloak made of shadows.
"N-N-N-Nekozawa-senpai." Tamaki stuttered as he held a tray in front of him for protection. "W-W-What brings you here?"
The Prince of Darkness gave no response.
"Don't worry Boss." Hikaru reassured.
"We've got it." Kaoru announced. Together, they both pulled out a set of flashlights and aimed their beams at human shadow. But there was no response.
"He's resisting the light!!" Hikaru wailed.
"Run away!!" Kaoru screamed. The twins plus Tamaki ran tot he other side of the room and dove behind a sofa to hide.
Meanwhile the cloaked figure stood silently, slowly pulling back their hood to reveal...
"Stacy!?" Haruhi gasped. "What are you doing with Nekozawa's cloak on?!"
"He taught me how to summon huge doors like this so I could get into the Host Club without fighting my way through the sea of fangirls outside. Pretty clever, huh?"
"No!" Tamaki hollered at me. "For all we knew Nekozawa had come to curse for all eternity~!"
"Senpai I think you're over reacting." Stacy hushed. "Neko-senpai wouldn't do that to you guys....But I might..."
"MAM~MA~!!"
End of Clip.
Scene with the twin's father:
When Stacy was done trying on clothes at the twin's house, she was supposed to wander around and run into the twin's father and have a conversation with him, but then it would have been too much like the manga so I scrapped it. That and he was never given a name and I wasn't sure what it sure be, so he was left out of the story. Sorry Hitachiin-san!
End of plan notes.
Plans for the Ohtori Aqua Garden:
I don't have a script for this scene. The Host Club was supposed to make a trip to the garden where they would have added some new pools and stuff like hot tubs with water that looks like coffee, green tea, wine, ect. Basically some of the things I saw when I went to a water park in Japan. Stacy was supposed to wear a swim suit too and use the line 'I'm going to go brew in the coffee bath for a while' or even 'I'll be steeping in the tea bath if you need me.' Something witty like that! Actually, I used the first of the two lines when I was in Japan. Lolz. Sadly I dropped this idea because I didn't have anything to use as a plot device and I didn't want it to be a ho-hum chapter so it was cut. That and it wouldn't have worked with the flow from chapter 10 to 11.
End of Plan notes.
Loaded with sweets:
One idea for the story early on was to have Tamaki and Honey load Stacy up with a ton of different Japanese sweets like Dango and Taiyaki and other stuff (like pocky) and in return Stacy orders them a bunch of North American snacks and sweets with Kyoya's computer. But this idea was bumped due to wanting to get the story finished and to keep from straining Kyoya's and Stacy's relationship.
End of Plan notes.
Scenes with Tamaki:
I planned for there to be more scenes with Tamaki asking about Canada and stuff in the story, but they just never happened. I wanted to show more scenes of Stacy with the others, but I never got around to it until it was too late...my bad! Sorry guys!
End of Plan notes.
Relation ship with Mori:
Stacy was supposed to have more of a relation ship with Mori and more scenes of the two being sweet with each other, but that would have made Kyoya and my best friend back home very jealous and mad. It just never happened because of all the action going on at the Host Club.
But deep down I do have a soft spot for Mori because he is so kind and such an animal lover. (Don't tell Kyoya I said that...)
End of Plan notes.
Watching T.V. with Fuyumi:
In one scene at Kyoya's house Stacy was supposed to walk past the T.V. and see a show that Fuyumi was watching. It was going to be a show where moms will send their child (about 4-5 year or so) out to the market with a list of items they need to get, while a film crew follows them to record it. I saw this show once with my host family and was greatly disturbed by it. The littler girl I saw was out in the rain and was crying for her mom the whole time. It just broke my heart! I swear to God, they have a show like that in Japan. And some people find it amusing....
I really wanted to put this into the story to show the gap between Japanese culture and western culture, but I forgot last minute and by then it was too late.... But I got to tell you about it here!!!
End of plan notes.
T.V. with Haruhi.
I wanted to have one scene with Haruhi and Stacy eating breakfast while watching a Japanese soap opera called 'Wing' before school started. It is a real Japanese show that was one of my favorites (besides Pokémon and Naruto) and my host family and I watched it every morning. It is about a young twenty-something year old (but she looks closer to 16) named Wing, and it tells about her life with her family (mom, dad, grandma, and littler brother) and her job at a local radio station while she deals with her soccer playing boyfriend. I could follow most of it and it seems her boss is madly in love with her. It's a good show and if you can find it with subs for it then go watch it! (I wonder if Tamaki watches it at home...)
End plan notes.
Extension of Kyoya's and Stacy's day out:
Their day together wasn't supposed to end when it did. I originally planned for them to Odawara Castle. Don't ask me where it is, all I know is that it is in Japan, around where Kamakura is. It is a large Japanese castle that is open for the public to go inside the grounds and see. But you can't take pictures inside the castle. (But I did when I got to the gift shop on the roof, and was standing outside where the staff couldn't see me.) It was a magnificent plan and I got some great shots outside the castle (where you ARE allowed to take photos). The most memorable thing about it was that the family symbol was the Triforce, like in the Zelda games. They also had swords and knives and stuff for sale, but I couldn't bring those back home with me, so I got an ocarina instead.
End of plan notes.
Alternate ending:
For the ending, Stacy wasn't supposed to get kidnapped. The Nekozawa family was supposed to find out she was posing as their cousin and come rushing to Kyoya's to demand an explanation. Kyoya of course over hears their plan to interrogate her when they are talking to Yoshio on the phone, and hides Stacy in his room, and then the events follow as they do in the story. Except Stacy was supposed to ask 'Kyoya. What's going to happen?'
'I....I don't know.'
But since I changed the leading events I have to cut that out.... T_T
End of Alternate ending.
Explanation for names:
Some of the characters I used were given names by me, because a) they don't exist in the manga/anime or b) they were never given names in the manga/anime.
Some of the names were the names of people from Japan;
Yu-my host's name
Yuka-my host's girlfriend's name (she is sooo cute! I love you Yuka!!) Her last name was something I made up on the fly....
And other names came from my Japanese-English dictionary!
Chibin- Yu's (in the story) last name. Means 'Blood Bottle' in Japanese.
Kuroy- Yu's brother. Means Black.
Akaicho Zugaikotsu- First name: Red Butterfly (respectfully). Last name: Skull
Hana- Means flower, a perfect name for Honey's mom.
Phew. My eyes are sore from going through that old dictionary for the names' meanings. I didn't plan to make Chibin and Kuroy brothers, but they looked enough like in the Manga and I couldn't come up with a last name for one of them (can't remember which) so they became related! Akaicho was supposed to flirt with Stacy more, but there was an awkwardness to it so it was kept to a minimal. I had lots of fun coming up with Akaicho's name. I wanted him to have a dark, but not really dark name...so Red-butterfly was born!!! As for his last name I thought that it would be good for his obsession with skulls to come from his name. I don't know why I made him like a dark Tamaki, but I just did. He would have to be my favorite member of the Black Magic Club right after Nekozawa. I think he has a crush on Stacy, seeing how he gave her the rose, but I don't know why he likes her...maybe it's his inner butterfly that's attracted to her bright hair color. Lolz. I would say that if the Host Club needed a gentleman to entertain gothic girls, he'd be the one to call.
I don't know why I gave the Black Magic Club such dark and creepy names (Blood Bottle) but I guess I just wanted make them fit with the atmosphere. Lolz.
End of names.
Me: So I hope that you all enjoyed that look into my note book, and I'm sorry that so many of you were saddened/disappointed by the ending. But that was one of few things that didn't get changed when I was writing the story. Though I NEVER planned to have Kyoya E-mail Stacy. You guys inspired me to do that scene from your cries of sadness.
Kyoya: But it's your fault that they were sad to begin with....
Me: Don't make me part Stacy with Mori and you with Renge! I am truly happy that so many of you chose my silly story to read out of all the Ouran Fanfics out there!
Thank you, from all of us at the Host Club!!! Happy Easter!
