Authors Note: Please do not forget to review! I really want to know how I am doing! But let me say, nothing makes me want to write more than listening to the Ouran soundtrack playing on loop.

Riku woke up the next morning at the regular time that she woke up. It annoyed her that she always woke up at the same time despite there being no school on the weekends. But nonetheless, she got ready for the day.

After a quick shower she picked out a blue plaid dress and a matching satin ribbon to hold her hair up. True, she might not be going anywhere, but it was the thought of the action that counted for her. After blow drying her hair and combing it through multiple times, she went out of her room.

Before the door was halfway open already, I knew something was wrong.

There was talking downstairs.

I looked out and saw the host club standing in the doorway talking to Kiki. They saw me immediately.

Tamaki waved. "Good morning Riku!"

The twins waved. "Sorry for dropping in!"

Honey held up a box. "We brought you a gift!"

Kyoya, Haruhi and Mori didn't say anything. Mori was quiet because that is what he does, Haruhi looked guilty for some reason, and Kyoya…. He looked like he was still asleep and was only standing due to somebody holding him up.

"What are you guys doing here?"

Kiki turned to me. "They came to see if you were available to hang out today, Miss."

I looked at her then back at them. "Why are you guys actually here?"

Tamaki smiled brightly. "We wanted to welcome you to the Host Club family! I know we kind of dragged you into the first day, but we wanted to make it up to you!"

"Really now?"

The twins nodded. "That's what he told us over the phone."

Tamaki shushed them. "But we all agreed on it after a momentary discussion!"

"No we didn't," said one. The other added, "Yeah, if anything it just sounded like you didn't want to come here on your own."

Honey jumped in. "We brought you a gift!"

"What is it?" I asked, still not moving from my doorway.

Honey ran up the stairs and held it up so I could take it. I hesitantly took it and looked at it for a few seconds carefully. Before I could open it, Honey took my wrist and began pulling me down the stairs to everybody else.

"Open it near everybody so we can all see your reaction!"

Kiki brightened up. She doesn't actually think that they are my friends, right? I would have told her if I had friends! She is supposed to be my line of defense if something like this ever happens!

"Shall I go get you drinks or possibly snacks?"
"It's not even eight in the morning. I haven't had breakfast yet!" I interjected.

"Would you like to have breakfast?"

"Yes please," I replied quickly. "But I won't eat it out here. Sorry. It's just rude and awkward to eat a meal when everybody else hasn't."

Tamaki nodded. "It's fine. We'll wait for you to come back." He took the present back and smiled.

I nodded and quickly walked off to the kitchen. The kitchen was a very nice one, with professional level stoves, ovens, pots, pans and knives and deep red walls. When you first entered through the doors, you saw the kitchen with the stoves and such. The white counters gleamed in the sunlight that went through the windows above them. An island snaked through the kitchen with a well in the middle where one could chill drinks at a party or something of the sort. If you went slightly to the left, you'd see the small dining area. An archway with very decorative structure lead into the room which held a large table surrounded by very comfortable chairs, considering they were to dine. You could see between the rooms between the bars that went from the half wall to the ceiling.

"So what would you like, Riku?"
"Anything, really." I shook my head. "But that's not the point! You shouldn't have let them in!"

"But I thought they were your friends, Riku!"

"You lost your right to call me that," I told her before going into the dining area. I sat down at the table and rested my head in my hands.

Maybe I could climb out the window or hide somewhere then they'd get a hint. But I don't want to be rude. I bit my lip as I thought.

I felt somebody tap my shoulder and I looked back. Tamaki must've come up when I was too lost in my thoughts to hear.

"Sorry about dropping in… I just wanted to make it up to you…"

"What do you want to make up to me? I was making up for letting my mouth run by going to the Host Club."

"For ignoring you," he said bluntly. Then, pulling out the chair next to me, he went on, "I was too happy at the fact you might actually become part of the Host Family that I guess I ruined my chances of that."

"So you're making it up by giving me a present and spending the day with me?"

He smiled. "Of course! The opposite of ignoring somebody is giving them attention! And I find the best and almost only way to give somebody attention is to spend time with them!"

"Then, just asking, why is the rest of the Host Club here?"

"Well Honey wants to show you the joys of cake and sweets, because apparently you don't like them. The twins had nothing better to do and-"

"You didn't want to come alone."

He blushed ever so slightly. "Well I didn't want you to be uncomfortable with just me dropping by."

Kiki put a plate with a single pancake and bacon in front of me. "Would you like anything Tamaki?"

He shook his head and got up. "No. In fact I think I'll just wait with the rest of the Club."
With that he made a quick exit.

Kiki looked at me. "He is just like a prince!"

I began prodding at my pancake halfheartedly. "That's what they call him at school. The prince."
