Here Chapter 7! I had a bit of writer's block, and I re-wrote this one a few times before settling on this version. I really hope you al enjoy it!


Olivia wasn't talking as much as she normally did. The group noticed and turned to the twins, they were always behind things like this.

"What did you two say?" Haruhi asked.

"We told Olivia that Eugene liked you and she sort of went blank."

Haruhi's face turned ten shades of red. She did like Eugene but she didn't want to ruin whatever it is they had together.

"Guys! Why would you do that?!" She didn't know what to do or say.

"We thought it'd be funny to see their reaction." They said in unison.

Haruhi had half a mind to slap both of them, but she kept her cool. She walked over to where Maribelle was sitting. She was reading The Art of War. She had been mostly quiet, which really upset Eugene because she wasn't telling him what was wrong. And he had no idea what caused her to act this way. Everyone could see he was frustrated with the situation. The two of them had never experienced this before.

"Would you like some tea, Maribelle?" Haruhi asked with a smiled and she nodded.

Usually she was very chatty with Haruhi, but this time she didn't feel like talking to her. She didn't really want to be there, she wanted to go home and be alone but she knew that wouldn't help.

Haruhi gently poured the tea into the glass and seemed hesitant to leave. Eugene walked over to her and put on his best fake smile.

"Lady Maribelle, please tell me what's the matter."

Haruhi walked away at this, it wasn't her business. She walked back over to where everyone was. Tamaki seemed quite upset by Maribelle's lack of a smile.

"Why would you two do that to her? She's so innocent and you've gone and ruined her sweet little mind with your deceptive words."

"Is Mari-chan okay?" Honey asked from atop Mori's shoulders.

"She's never had this problem before. For her, Eugene liking someone else is like him leaving her. She's only ever had him by her side. It's a different experience for her."

Tamaki told everyone and they were all a little curious as to how he knew all of this. He rubbed his head and thought about something to take her mind off of the whole matter. The twins seemed a little upset at themselves, but they didn't know. They were just teasing her.

"We should all go to the beach! That should lighten things up!"

He said as he slammed his fist into his hand. He was determined to make her feel better. Everyone seemed to like the idea, even Haruhi and she hated water for the most part.

Eugene sat at the table with her. She had put her book away and started writing ideas for her play. She only had fairly limited time to get it all ready. The Host Club had already said they'd help her; she just needed to plan it.

"Olivia, please. Talk to me." He was speaking in English now, not wanting everyone to overhear their conversation.

Haruhi walked to the table and smiled, "Tamaki wanted me to tell you that tomorrow we are going to go to the beach."

Olivia smiled slightly at this; she heard the beaches in Japan were a splendor. She nodded and Haruhi walked away. She stopped for a moment to glance back at Eugene before walking away. She really wanted to help, but she didn't know what to do either

"Can we talk later about this? I need to get my thoughts sorted out first."

She told him a little softer than before, he nodded he sat there with her drinking tea and reading his book.

"There is a meteor shower tomorrow night. I had your telescope shipped, it should be arriving later this afternoon."

Olivia looked up at him and smiled, he knew exactly what to say to her. Tamaki was making his way over to see how they were doing when he heard Eugene. The look on Maribelle's face was the cutest thing he'd seen. It was like he was looking into her past; he imagined all the cold winter and hot summer nights she had spent outside with the stars.

"A meteor shower?" Tamaki said and she turned to him with a smile.

Haruhi was watching and noticed her expression changed. The sky must be really important to her, a way to get away from everything.

"You know, we can arrange a ride to take us to the darkest point on the beach."

She smiled bigger. She hadn't gotten to take a trip to see the stars in a while. She always had a gala or event to attend. Her parents deemed social events in higher standing than her obsession with astronomy.

"That sounds wonderful." She told him with a gleam in her eye, "Where are we meeting tomorrow to go to the beach?"

Tamaki thought about it. They usually all rode together, this time they'd need a limo since they were adding three new people to their trip.

"We could all meet here?" He said mid-thought.

"How about everyone comes to my house tomorrow morning? We can have breakfast before we leave!"

Olivia seemed to have gotten some of her spunk back, Eugene noticed. Maybe Tamaki wasn't as bad as he thought. And Tamaki seemed to have a very noticeable interest in her. He'd still have to be sure they kept a safe distance from each other romantically; she wasn't in any position to make any sort of commitments.

"A-are you sure?" Tamaki asked, "We don't want to intrude."

She shook her head, "It's not a problem. Eugene and I are pretty good in the kitchen! And we can make you some English foods!"

His face went pink; in his mind he was imagining Maribelle cooking for him. He must have zoned out for a while because Maribelle began waving her hand in front of his face.

"Earth to Tamaki…."

He shook his head and snapped back into the real world. He cleared his through and told her he'd tell the others.

"Just text me your address and we can go from there."

She nodded and stood; it was about time for them to leave. Tomorrow would be rather interesting, to say the least. It would be the first time she has had company over in a while, defiantly the first time she's ever chosen the company. Eugene smiled down at her, knowing she was better now than she was.
