Hikaru's POV

Benjamin was practically lying to our faces! He didn't even provide extra details of what's the purpose of the party. Halloween is an explanation, but he didn't say anything about his sister's birthday!

Well, while Grace was busy getting her costume ready, Benjamin told us that there were five siblings (busy parents), and he was the only boy. Halloween was his older sister's, Molly, birthday!

The Host Club felt a little awkward being invited, and attending, a party for a person they haven't even met. That cheeky bastard sure sucks at explaining.

When the sun was setting, we did meet Molly. She looked like Benjamin, with a figure and boobs. Same height and everything too! She was dressed as a Marilyn Monroe.

"Where's Grace?" Molly asked.

"She's in her room," Benjamin answered. "She's wearing the costume you wanted as a present."

"Yay! She finally wears something girly for once!" Molly cheered. "Pleased to meet everyone." She then went upstairs.

"Hey, where's the party going to be?" Kaoru and I asked in sync.

"The ballroom," he said. Benjamin took us there. The room's windows were covered with curtains. The floor had balloons hovering around. Streamers were hung around the walls and a happy birthday banner was hand painted intricately .A miniature stage was set up in one corner. A table full of commoner snacks and punch were set up.

"I expected more coming from your family," Kyoya muttered.

"Well, our mother was never there, so we were independent," Ben began. "Growing up in New York, we also learned a lot in the streets. We learned to take care of everything, together yet by ourselves. Besides, this party was meant for teenagers."

"If you know Kyoya," I began.

"Students in Ouran must have class," Kaoru added.

"Organizing parties must be at a standard," we said in sync. He gave us the demon eyes he gets in the morning. My brother and I shivered.

"Well, I guess you'll be experiencing what it's like to be an America commoner," Benjamin replied. He smiled.

"Ben! I haven't seen you forever!" a girl's voice said. His sister, who looks like Molly but bigger, not fat, but has more weight than the birthday girl. (It's hard to describe when they all look the same except for weight, and they are not fat!) –frustrated—

"Annie, this is the Ouran Host Club," Benjamin introduced. "The tall blonde is Tamaki, the one with glasses is Kyoya, and the girl is Haruhi. The twins are Hikaru and Kaoru. "

"Pleased to meet you all," she said. "Everyone's going to arrive in about-"she quickly checks her watch "- five minutes."

"Is mom coming?" Ben added.

"She's in a flight to Spain right now," her sister said with a sincere face. Ben's expression changed from excited to should've known. "I heard Grace is wearing a dress, get out the camera!"

"Taping it and posting it on the family's Youtube channel," her little brother retorted.

"Why is it such a big deal for her to wear a dress?" Haruhi asked.

"Well, it began when she was wearing a dress as a baby," Annie began. "She cried, and we didn't know why. When we changed her from a dress to her pajamas, she stopped crying. As she gets older, she refused 'those type of clothing' and wore jeans or shorts."

"From birth she hated dresses," Benjamin shortened.

Music began to play, "Bleed it out," by Linkin Park. I liked the song but it was a little too much for Kyoya. Girls wanted to talk to us. Tamaki thought it would be good to use our "skills" outside of Ouran. Kyoya agreed since he recognized some girls: again there was merit.

"Okay, so it's my birthday," Molly said to a small camera. "You might now, if you watched our family videos often, that my little sister, Grace, just hates dresses. For my special twentieth birthday, this Halloween, she wore a special costume. She's probably going to make a whole vlog about it, but here she is!"

Grace comes out as a fairy, so she had green/blue/yellow wings. Her hair was in waves with some strands dyed blue. Her face hat small gems on and a bit of glitter. The eye shadow matched the blue dress she had on, which sparkled. She had netted blue gloves on and her nails were painted blue-green. She was barefooted, and showed off the small gems on her legs and ankles, as well as the painted toenails.

"This is all for my sister, if someone else asks me to wear a dress, I would never do it!" she explained to the camera. "Take it all in sis, this is like once a decade event!" She gave her sister a hug and walked away.

"Hikaru, do you mind if I go, mingle?" Kaoru asked.

"Not at all," I answered. After a fight, we decided it's good for us to be a little independent here and there. I stayed where I was. I guess it was weird for me to be alone.

Grace's POV

I walked around and talked to people I knew. They were all surprise to see me, in a dress. Some family members didn't mention my growth from the last time they saw me, they saw the dress.

I noticed Benjamin showing Haruhi around. Tamaki was butting in their conversation, talking about his "daughter". Kyoya was talking to girls, and they were my cousins. Kaoru was chatting with a red headed girl dressed as a devil.

I noticed Hikaru was standing by himself. I walked over to him, grabbing a cup of punch along the way. He looked sad.

"Hey," I greeted. "Everything okay?"

"Yeah, why'd you ask?" He answered.

"You look lonely," I replied. "I get kind of stuffy at parties, how 'bout we ditch?"

"It's your sister's party," Hikaru retorted.

"Yeah, and she ditched my sixteenth birthday too," I added. "C'mon, I'll show you my favorite place in the house."

I didn't wait for an answer, I never do, and took his arm. We headed upstairs into the room where I pile all of my musical instruments. It had a big window showing the moon. It surprised me since I was never here at night.

"I didn't picture you as an musical type," he said.

"Well, we had to find something to do," I replied. "All of us learned what we wanted. We learned to play all the instruments we wanted. Our mom wasn't there, so we had to find things to occupy us. Learning things was always the answer."

"What about your dad?" he added.

"He died when I was six," I answered. His face showed regret of ever asking. "Don't worry, I got use to people asking, and I don't mind answering. It happened, and it's the truth."

"Well, then I'll change the subject," Hikaru said. "How 'bout telling me why you're siblings are so satisfied with little presents, like you wearing a dress."

"Maybe because we have everything that we could possibly want," I answered. "Being rich, we have everything. We decided that little things that make us smile is a great gift itself."

It looked like he thought of something that made him a little frustrated. I went over to the piano and began playing a song that I thought he would like.

"Cause I'm in luv with a stripper. She poppin', she rollin', she rollin'.She climbin' that pole and

I'm in luv with a stripper. She trippin', she playin', she playin'. I'm not goin' nowhere, girl, I'm stayin'…" I sang. He smiled a little.

"You know that I'm not a stripper," he replied.

"You might as well be, since you are a host," I retorted.

He looked appalled, flabbergasted, all the big words for offended. "A host is a gentleman Grace. We will not be categorized as strippers!"

"They do pay you to… 'Entertain' them," I added, putting emphasis on the word entertain. There was a pause and then we both giggled at the same time.

I could tell that Hikaru was slowly leaning close to me. I just plainly hugged him.

"Thank you for listening," I said. "Hopefully, I won't see that side face of yours, it's not a very good look. I'll see you around once I start going to Ouran."

I went off to my room and vlogged about my dress, uploaded it and went to bed. I regretted leaving Hikaru. I guess people do accept the love that they deserve, in my case, not a lot.
