I was rushing for this chapter, sorry if the quality is poor! I made it longer this time, and I didn't read it, so pardon me if there are any mistakes. /bows
Things to note (?): OOC, cause I really wanted it that way. But I tried to make it as canon as possible. Also, I'm sorry if things went chaotic, too many characters and I end up forgetting to put in lines for them. :S

Enjoy!
Class Reunion
Chapter 3
By Shiki Chama
Tsuna looked at his guardians as they filed into his office, fingers tapping on the top of the table. Upon entering, Gokudera immediately went to stand on his right, while the rest of his guardians silently (with some small-talk here and there) sat on the chairs in his office. Or in Hibari's case, finding the darkest corner in his office.
When everyone had finally settled down, Tsuna smiled at them and leaned forward on his chair. "Good morning." He started. "I've called you all today to discuss about something." Tsuna said seriously, silencing any perverted remarks from Mukuro, or any whinny noises from Lambo.
Letting his eyes roll over his guardians' form, he raised an elegant eyebrow. "By the way, where's Chrome?" He asked, looking around for his missing female mist guardian.
"Boss." Lambo raised his hand, asking for permission to speak. Stupid-dera and his terrifying 'right-hand man' glare. "I saw Chrome just now. She said she had something urgent to attend to so she can't come."
"Something to attend to?" Tsuna asked in silent wonder. "What's this urgent matter?"
"Eh, I don't know." The curly-haired teen waved his arms dismissively. Tsuna frowned.
"Oi Sawada!" A loud voice shouted out, and Tsuna looked at Ryohei. "Yes, onii-san?" The brunette asked.
"If you're talking about Chrome, I just saw her walking towards the kitchen. I wonder why though?" Ryohei answered, standing up in his seat and crossing his arms across his chest.
Tsuna looked at Gokudera. "Is there something going on in the kitchen today?" He asked. "Something that I don't know about?"
He was answered with silence.
"Oya, you didn't know about the change in staff today, Tsunayoshi kun?" Mukuro purred, dogging the tonfa thrown in his direction.
"Change in staff?" Tsuna asked, rubbing his temples. First the ballroom, now the kitchen? "Anyway, I'll check up on that later. I've called all of you here today to talk about something." At this, Gokudera handed Tsuna a small white card that was sure going to cause havoc in the Vongola Mansion very soon.
Maybe he should even consider framing up the card.
"In another week, Class 2-A of Namimori Middle School would be having a class reunion." Tsuna started, grimacing. He noticed that Yamamoto started fidgeting uncomfortably, and Gokudera's eyebrow twitching every now and then.
"So? Are the three of you going to leave the mansion again?" Ryohei asked, looking at the three ex-2-A classmates.
"I don't see why this is so important that you had to gather all of us here, Tsunayoshi kun." Mukuro stated, laughing his creepy laugh.
"Hn. You, pineapple herbivore, shut up." Hibari growled, glaring at the illstionist.
"Oya, what was that, Kyoya-kun?" Mukuro taunted, throwing a smirk at Hibari's direction.
"Anyway," Tsuna quickly cut in, hoping to prevent another epic Cloud-versus-Mist battle, "The only problem is the venue of the event."
As one, Ryohei, Lambo and Mukuro did a double-take.
"Huh? What are you talking about, Sawada?" Ryohei asked, getting more confused than ever. "If it's in Japan, you could always take the private jet."
"Tch. Oi lawn-head, we're in Japan, in case you haven't notice." Gokudera scowled, bringing an unlit cigarette to his lips.
"Hayato!" Tsuna sighed, plucking the cancer stick out of his storm guardian's fingers before throwing it into the nearby bin.
Tsuna sighed again, before looking at them. As Reborn had said countless of times, he was the Vongola Decimo now, and should act like one. "Listen up." He said seriously, looking into his guardian's eyes.
"The event will be held in our Vongola mansion."
Stunned silence.

"Reborn, could you please help me assemble all the maids, butlers and any other house staffs?" Tsuna asked as he signed some documents. The Italian hitman, who had been polishing his gun silently, looked up.
"Why?"
"Don't play dumb with me, Reborn. You know, as well as I do, what you did." The words 'to make my life horrible' left unsaid in the air. Tsuna continued reading and signing documents, not sparing his ex-tutor any glance.
"What are you talking about, Stupid-Tsuna?" Reborn asked, confusion laced in his words. He looked at the brunette, who was being stubbornly silent, refusing to give him an answer. He cocked his gun, pointing it at the young boss.
"Reborn, just go and assemble everyone. I'll be in the foyer in ten minutes."
"Fine." Reborn answered, stalking out of the door. If Tsuna thought I was the one responsible for something, then something interesting is about to happen soon…
/AN: I'm sorry if I made Reborn and Tsuna OOC. It's just that, I like to see some changes in their relationship, in which Tsuna has matured and doesn't get traumatized every time he sees Reborn pointing a gun at him. As well as Reborn acknowledging Tsuna as the Vongola Decimo, which meant that the tutoring went well. :3
Ten minutes later, Gokudera knocked on his boss's office door. "Tenth?"
"Yeah, I'm ready to go." Tsuna mumbled, before swinging the door open. "Which reminds me. Hayato, could you please cancel all my meetings with any mafia related people on the day of the class reunion?"
"Of course, boss. We can't have them finding out about the Mafia after all." Gokudera agreed, hastily opening the doors that led to the lounge.
"Great, thank you, Hayato." Tsuna thanked his right-hand man, before turning to face his employees.
"Good day, everyone. I apologize for calling you away from any of your duties." Tsuna started, looking at the smiling faces of his employees.
"It is okay, Young Master Tsuna." One of the senior butlers replied, and everyone else nodded in agreement.
"Great! I've called you all today to inform you about something important. In a weeks' time, the Vongola Ballroom would be rented out for a class reunion." Tsuna started, glancing at Gokudera. Getting a nod in return, Tsuna continued talking.
"And as such, on that day, I would greatly appreciate it if you treated me and my guardians like any of the guests coming in on that day." Gasps were heard as Tsuna smiled at them, though this time he started shooting pleading looks at his employees.
"T-that's unheard of, Young Master Tsuna! How could we ever?" One of the maids blurted out. "That's right! All of us here are extremely thankful to you and the other young masters! How could we ever do something so disrespectful?" Another maid agreed. Tsuna's smile faltered.
"I'm really thankful to all of you, I really am. But it would do me a huge favor if you were to treat us like guests on that day."
"B-But!"
"It's just one day, woman. You won't die." Gokudera scowled, though his scowl seemed more desperate than usual.
"May I ask why is this necessary, Young Master Tsuna, Young Master Gokudera?" The same senior butler asked. Everyone turned to stare at them.
"Tenth?" Gokudera asked, looking at Tsuna, who was running a hand through his hair.
Sighing, Tsuna nodded. "Tell them, Hayato."
Nodding, Gokudera took a step forward, taking a deep breath. "You see, Boss, shigure-I mean Yamamoto and me would be taking part in this class reunion." Seeing the confused looks on their faces, Gokudera quickly added. "-As classmates from said class."
A soft sound of 'oh~' echoed in the room, before reality set in. "What?" The horde of employees asked, eyes wide in shock.
Gokudera sighed, "We can't have them finding out about the 'Family' business. So, just treat us like guests on that day, alright?"

"Say, we still have yet to find out who authorized the use of the Vongola Mansion's Ballroom." Tsuna asked, sitting down at his chair at the head of the table. It was dinner time now.
"I just remembered- Didn't you split up some areas of the Vongola Property for us to over-see?" Yamamoto said, looking over at Tsuna's direction.
Everybody looked at Tsuna, whose eyes were wide. "Gosh, you're absolutely right, Takeshi!" He gasped, looking at the tall man. "You were in charge of all the Vongola Training Rooms, Hayato is in charge of all the Vongola Villas…" Tsuna listed, racking his brain hard to find out who was assigned to what.
"Oh, I was assigned to all the Vongola Barracks…" Ryohei added, nodding his head in agreement.
"Then, who is the one in charge of all the Vongola Ballrooms?" Tsuna asked, resting a cheek on his hand.
Silence.
"…Well, it's certainly not Reborn. He's in charge of the Vongola-owned land in Europe…" Tsuna trailed off.
"Ah!" They turned to look at Lambo, who had spoken.
"It's Chrome-nee-san…"
The End
Ahhhhn, sorry if it turned out weird, I've been recieving a lot of comment lately, of people telling me to hurry up and tell who is the 'mastermind'. And so many of you had been saying that it was Reborn! Tsk tsk. Anyway, it was fun writing this chapter.
Though, I (still) kind of don't want to reveal who it is. Seriously, you guys take this too seriously! when this idea first came to mind, I was fully intending to make it absolutley accidental! Now... not too sure.
Oh, and just a heads up: In dialogue, first names would be used, and in narrative texts, last name (or normally-used anime name). Also, I wanted everyone to be more 'family' so Lambo's actually treating people with respect!
And I wrote more! 8D I hit a thousand words this time, not counting author's note. HAA! Take that!
/Nightey~ I'll reply all your reviews/PMs tomorrow.
