Sorry for the delay! I had to write this one a few times as well to get it to where I needed it to be. I hope you enjoy!
Monday started the same as usual; Eugene came to make sure she was awake. Olivia usually overslept when they went on weekend trips that stressed her out. She got up and put on her yellow uniform, this time wearing a blue bow in her hair. She walked out and Eugene slipped on his blue tie to match. They went into the kitchen and picked up their coffee and breakfast muffins.
"Are you ready?" Eugene asked her and she nodded.
"See you after school Mimi!" Olivia waved and they left.
Once they arrived at school, it too was a routine. They bounced from class to class until it was time to meet the Host Club. As they walked in, everyone was buzzing around. The girls seemed extra excited.
"Oh Maribelle!" Tamaki called out, using her school name for her safety.
"Hello Tamaki-chan!" She told him and his face went red.
"Wh-What?" He asked and she laughed at his confusion.
"I figured I should really take in the culture and use the suffixes accordingly."
She was a little confused by his reaction. Eugene whispered to her that aside from close friends, it also means lover. Olivia's face went red as he said that as well.
"I-I ummm…. I meant it as friend. A good friend!" She blurted out and quickly walked to her table.
Tamaki had set up a table for her and Eugene that they didn't use for clients. She'd watch them sweet talk the girls, sometimes she'd get jealous at how close Tamaki got to the others. She sat there and opened her sketchbook.
"Finally going to work on your play?" Eugene asked as Haruhi walked up to bring them their usual tea.
"You're doing a play?" she asked happily.
"Y-yes. I don't really know what of yet. I sort of talked to Tamaki about it but I think I need a brainstorm session to iron everything out."
"We can do it after the Host Club is done, if you want to that is. We can all help you with ideas." She told Olivia as she set their cups down.
Olivia looked at her and smiled, "Sure!"
Haruhi had found a gift for Olivia, but didn't know how to go about giving it to her. She figured she'd plan something for the two of them to do; hopefully she'd want to hang out. Haruhi really wanted to get to know Olivia like Eugene did. She didn't have many female influences in her life. And what's more influential than a princess?
"So we don't have a lot of time…" Olivia said, drawing in her sketchbook.
"So we can't go overboard. Or maybe I can find a place that has props I can use and we can make due?"
She looked up at Eugene and he was watching her draw, he couldn't draw as well as she could. It always amazed him. She drew and he wrote dialog. They worked like a well-oiled machine when it came to plays.
"You're right, I can call around and see what I can't find?"
"I can help if you need it." Kyoya said, glancing up at them and smiling softly.
He was standing near their table writing in his black book like he always did. Olivia wondered what he was doing
"You know of places that have props?" Olivia asked him as he walked towards the table.
"Mari-chan! Do you want some cake?!" Honey shouted and rushed to her with a piece.
"Oh! Thank you!" She took the piece and smiled.
Honey sat at the table and began eating; he noticed her sketches and his eyes lit up.
"Did you do these?!" He wiped his hands off so he could look at them.
"Y-yes, they're for the play that I'm doing soon. I need to get costumes made and props set up before then… It's sort of a rush but it's the only time I can rent the theatre for a while. I've had it set up, the children already know about it."
"Children?" Mori asked.
"I do this in England. I put on plays for children who are less fortunate; I did one once a month for various orphanages. This one has less seating but it shouldn't stop us."
She started brainstorming out loud without realizing it. Everyone was listening and nodding.
"I think we have enough seating for the current amount of people coming." Eugene told her.
"We're going to condense this play, mostly because I only have a handful of people to use and we are limited in sets. We can ask around for extras. I just need a story—"
"What about doing Tangled? I think it's a really great kids movie!" Haruhi told her.
Olivia looked at her in amazement, "You… you like Tangled?"
Haruhi nodded and Eugene smiled, Olivia loved the new film that came out. She'd seen it so many times; she knew all of the words and movements by heart.
"That'd be kind of cool." The twins said in unison and Olivia nodded.
"Let me get the costume and set sketches done. Eugene, get a rough script made and we can start on it tomorrow!"
Everyone watched her draw for a while before walking off and doing their own things. Tamaki stayed a while longer. He watched over her shoulder as she penned the figures and clothes on paper. He hadn't seen someone draw as beautifully as she did so fluidly. She stopped and looked at Tamaki, annoyed. He then looked at Eugene and he sighed.
"She doesn't like people staring over her shoulder." Eugene said and she went back to drawing.
Tamaki nodded and walked away without another word. She hadn't meant to tell him to leave, but she had a lot to do. She went back to drawing, Eugene brought her pencil bag over and she started putting color to her images.
She had a few done before Kyoya walked up to them, "We are leaving for the day. I'm afraid we can't stay any longer."
Olivia looked at the clock and nearly fell over, how had it gotten so late? Everyone walked to the table to see her sketches; she quickly closed her book and held it close.
"How many of you have actually seen Tangled?" She asked.
Hikaru, Kaoru and Haruhi slowly raised their hands. She sighed; they'd need to see it so she could gauge their reactions to it.
"Do you guys want to come over tomorrow to watch it after school?" she asked, "If we are going to do this… I need to have everyone on the same page."
They all seemed really excited to go back to her house. They could probably fit all of their houses in her house, maybe not but that's how she felt. Eugene called for their driver and they left.
Olivia spent most of the night drawing. Eugene peeked into her room around 2am and she was still at it. She looked at the clock in her room and it was nearly 3:30. She stood and went to bed. She'd have to get up in a few hours to get ready for class and she didn't want to be too tired.
