I love you all so much

*Pops a confetti poppy*

Bitches.

Let's read the story.

I was playing with a couple of my dolls when Mom and Daddy came home, carrying handfuls of groceries in their hands.

"Hi Dani! Can you give me and Mommy a hand?" Dad asked, setting the groceries on the table.

"Sure thing!" I said, setting my dolls on the couch. I ran to the kitchen and gave my dad a hug. He pat my head in response. "Help Mommy put away the groceries okay? I gotta go make a phone call."

He walked out of the kitchen and into his and Mommy's room. He shut the door and I heard muffed noises on the other side.

Daddy is such a hard worker.. He should take a break sometimes...

I took all the fruit out from out of one bag and started arranging them in the fruit bowl. Apples, oranges, grapes, then bananas on top. When the fruit bowl was perfect, I took the rest of the bags to the kitchen where mom was putting them away.

"Here ya go Mom! Need some help?" I asked, setting the bags down with others. My mom was still in her slacks and blouse. She was wearing black high heels and had her hair in a bun. She looked so professional and pretty. I wanna look like her one day.

"No Danielle, you're okay sweetie. How was your day?"

"It was kinda boring. Zander watched TV with his bunny and I read books and played with my dolls." I said, sitting on the counter and peeking inside the rest of the grocery bags.

"I see... Where is Zander now, Hun?"

"Oh! Zander got into our cake before lunch, and he told me his stomach hurt, so I told him to go take a nap. I gave him some of your fizzy medicine and tucked him into bed. "

"Fizzy medicine? Alka-Seltzer? I see...What a great big sister you are, taking care of your little brother like that." She said,turning around and smiling at me. I winked at her and gave her a thumbs up.

"You can always count on me Momma!"

She smiled, hen glanced at the clock. It was 6:30. She turned towards me again and stood up.

"Dani, what time did you put Zander down for a nap?"

"I don't know... Around 1 or 2 maybe?" I said, looking though the grocery bags again.

"He's been sleeping for a while then. I should wake him up. He isn't gonna want to go to bed tonight!" Mom said, leaving the kitchen. I heard her walking up the stairs. Suddenly, I saw what I was looking for.

YES!

DRIED MANGO!

I ripped open the package of dried slices of deliciousness and bit into a piece of mango.

Soooo Good... My favorite treat!

Suddenly, I heard a blood curling scream come from upstairs. I dropped the bag of mangos. My dad ran out of his room and up the stairs.

"Oh God, Bryce, Call an ambulance! Zander isn't breathing!" my mom yelled.

Zander isn't breathing... That doesn't mean what I think it does, right?

I saw my dad come flying past me to the home phone In the kitchen. He dialed a number and started talking really fast to the person on the other side.

"Hello? Yes, my son has stopped breathing. His heart rate is very slow... We need an ambulance immediately...7246 Francis Street.. Thank you... What do I do in the meantime?... Okay... Okay...okay thank you... He hung up and dashed back up the stairs.

"Daddy..-"

"Not right now Danielle..."

A few minutes later, these men in white were carrying Zander on a blue rolling thingy out of our had what looked like a cup over is mouth and nose and he looked extremely pale. His bunny laid next to him. I watched as they picked up the blue thing and took it out of the house. While the men where doing this, they bumped the carrier into the doorframe slightly and Bun Bun fell off. I hopped off from my spot on the counter and picked it up.

"Its okay Bun Bun. Zander's gonna be back soon..." I whispered to the stuff rabbit, giving it a squeeze. I watched my little brother get put into the ambulence and a couple of men hopped into the back with him. Then, out of nowhere, Dad snatched me up and ran towards the car. He practically threw me into the back seat and hopped into the front seat. Mom was sitting in the passenger seat, crying silently.

"What's going on? Where are they taking Zander?" I asked, confused on the whole situation.

"Zander is going to the Hospital. He's... Very very hurt right now Dani. Don't worry... It will all be fine once Zander gets to a doctor..." My mom said. While we were desperately trying to keep up with the speeding ambulance, I gave Bun Bun a squeeze and tugged at the blue bracelet Zander had given me earlier that day.

God...please let my baby brother be alright.

I woke up with a start, sweat dripping down my face. My breathing was hard and my blankets were all over the place.

Why do I have to keep reliving that damn memory..

I picked up my phone off the nightstand and checked the time: 4:29 AM.

I have about 2 hours before I actually have to get up, but there is no way in hell I'm going back to sleep after that. I looked at my wrist and saw the tattered old bracelet. The braids had unraveled and the blue had faded off the dolphins. There were several loose strings everywhere on it. It wasn't the prettiest looking bracelet anymore, but I still loved it with all of my heart. I got up and made my bed. My bunny got thrown across the room during my wild tossing and turning last night. I picked it up, gave it a kiss, and set it on top of my made bed.

Sorry Bun Bun, bad dreams last night... You know how it is...

I went to the bathroom and took a quick shower. When I was done, instead of putting on my wig and uniform, I put on some shorts and an old Tshirt and tiptoed downstairs. I kinda wanted some hot chocolate. I always have some after a nightmare like that. But, I didn't expect to see my mom sitting at the table when I came down. She looked a mess. He makeup was smeared and she was still in yesterday's clothes. She was looking into a cup of tea. It saddened me to see her like this. I walked up to the table and sat across from her.

"Umm.. Hi Mom.." I said quietly, slipping into a chair.

She looked up at me, then looked back down to continue staring into her cup of tea.

"Um.. Listen Mom... About last night... I. Uh... I.." I was struggling to get the words out.

"I'm sorry Danielle..." my mom said out of nowhere

Oh.. Well... This is unexpected..

"You don't need to apologize Mom, I shouldn't have said those things to you... " I tried to say, but was interrupted by her again.

" I don't know what I was thinking. I was mess after he died... Dressing you up like a boy.. Just made me... Feel better, Yanno? I was delirious for doing it. But you went along with it and..." she said, her voice cracking.

"I did it to make you feel better. It made you happy, so that's why I did it Mom. All I wanted was for you to not be sad anymore. " I said. I saw her shudder. I knew she was about to cry. I got out of my chair and went to give her a hug. She hugged me around the waist and laid her head on my shoulder. We sat like that for a long time. It hurt me to see her this way, she hadn't look this sad since Dad left.

"I miss him..." Mom said softly.

"I'm sorry Mom..." I said, giving her a squeeze.

"Don't be. You did nothing wrong. None of us knew he was allergic to alka-seltzer." she said, returning the squeeze.

"But I'm sorry for saying... you know... All that stuff last night..." I said.

"I forgive you. And I'm sorry for yelling last night and calling you Daniel." she said quietly.

"It's okay momma. You were mad, I understand. " I said, standing up and smiling at her. Her eyes were watery and she had a sad look on her face.

"I guess... If you really feel like its the right thing to do, you can tell those boys that you're a girl." she said, looking back into her tea. Usually, I would be happy that I got her stubborn ass to cave in, but this time was different. I was sad to see her give up what she has been bugging me to do for almost 6 years. I know she didn't want to, I can tell she wants me to just keep playing along...

So whatcha gonna do Dani? You gonna be selfish or selfless?

I looked at my mom. She was staring in to her cup of tea with a sad look on her face. A small tear went down her face.

God Damnit mom, you pretty much guilt tripping to pick your side!

"You know what mom, if it means that much to you, I won't tell anyone. If they figure out themselves, that is out of my control. Okay?" I asked her.

She looked at me and wiped her eyes with her sleeve. "No Honey, it's okay. I'll be okay... I won't like it but.."

"Mom. I'm serious..." I said.

She looked at me and gave me a smile. I gave her a slight smile back.

Of course you get what you want... But it's okay. I won't have to freak out so much if they figure it out.

"You should go to sleep Mom, you still gotta go to work today." I said, going to the fridge for food.

"I'll go in late, it doesnt matter. But I'll take you up on that offer. I gotta work late tonight." she said, getting up from the table, she put her cold cup of tea in the sink and walked over to me. She gave me a hug from behind. "Thank you Danielle." she whispered. She let go and walked out of the kitchen. I let out a huge sigh and pulled out some fruit.

I just want mom to keep her sanity for a while longer, I guess.

THE NIGHT OF THE DANCE

"Soo... How do I look?" I said, posing for Hisao in my new tailored suit.

"I think you look fabulous, Miss Dani." He said.

I pouted at his comment. "I'm not suppose to look 'Fabulous'! I'm suppose to look suave and cool!" I said to him, walking over to my closets to get my dress shoes and wig.

"Umm.. Sure.. I guess you look like that too..." He said laughing. I stuck my tongue at him and jammed my feet into my black dress shoes.

" So, how did the talk with your mom go..? Hisao asked, fixing my black Bow tie.

"Well, it went less than well. We ended up screaming at each other and then the next day we kiss and made up." I said, attempting to pull up my hair, but failing miserably.

"Okay, but are you gonna tell your club?" Hisao asked, ,coming over to help me.

"Well, she said I could, but then sort of guilt tripped me into saying I'll keep it a secret."

"Didn't see that one coming..." Hisao said sarcastically.

"Hisao be nice, she's my mom. She did say that it's okay if they figure it out on their own." I said as he tried to tie my hair into a ponytail, but the hair tie broke and snapped against my head.

"Ouch! Jesus, That's the third hair tie to break!" I shouted, rubbing my head.

"Here, let's try to just bobby pin pieces of your hair..." Hisao said, yanking pieces of my hair up and jamming bobby pins into them, scrapping my scalp

"Jesus Hisao! You're trying to pin up my hair, not scalp a bitch!" I yelled, yanking my hair away and running towards my bathroom.

"I don't know how to do hair! You do it!" He said, throwing the bobby pins at me.

"You don't know how to do hair but you know how to make a mess.." I mumbled as I scooped down to pick up the bobby pins. Before I could start fixing my hair, the sound of the doorbell rang throughout the house.

DING DONG..

I pauses what I was doing. I went to my bedroom, confused.

The boys were coming to get me at 6... Was it really time already?

"What time is it? I asked Hisao.

He pulled out his phone. "About 5:30..."

DING DONG

"COMING!" I yelled as I rushed to the bathroom. I grabbed the wig off counter. I didn't have to fix my hair now... I flipped my hair over and stuffed it into the wig. I adjusted my wig and pressed it down a couple of times.

That will do for now. Anybody gets near my hair I'm biting their finger off.

DING DONG DING DONG

"CALM DOWN IM COMING..!" I yelled. I grabbed my phone and said goodbye to Hisao.

"Hey, do you want me to leave now or wait a few minutes?" He asked.

"Stay up here until you see us leave, Kay? The ones who know I am girl would get a bit suspicious." I said, running downstairs.

"Whatever you say, good luck Dani!" I heard him yell back.

I ran down the stairs to the living room. I threw open the door to see Hikaru and Kaoru in their matching suits.

"There you are. We were about to break down the door to come get you!" Kaoru said, grabbing my left arm.

"C'mon, we gonna be late." Hikaru said, grabbing my right arm. They picked me up and started running down the steps and on the sidewalk. They opened a door and threw me in. I crashed into something hard as I landed. I heard a crack come from my back. I heard the twins laughing as the door close.

"I can walk you idiots! And you guys were suppose to come at 6! I wasn't ready yet!" I yelled, as the car started driving.

"Yeah, but it was more fun this way!" They both said, laughing.

I looked around the car. Hunny and Takashi were sitting across from me, Kyoya and the twins were sitting to my left, and Tamaki was sitting to the right of me.

They all looked pretty damn good. I'm impressed...

Suddenly, I heard a voice come from behind me.

"You okay, Dani? That was a pretty loud crack that came from your back."

I turned around to see I crashed into Haruhi when the idiotic twins threw me into the car. I blushed and back away from her. She canceled her dance lesson yesterday so I haven't talked to her since the hanger fiasco...

"I'm sorry Haruhi. Are you okay?" I said quietly.

"Yeah! I'm fine!" She said smiling. I gave her a smile back.

Good, I don't think things are too awkward...

We made it to the school quickly and went inside the hall the Host Club rented for the party. When I walked in, my mouth hit the floor. This looked like a ball that Cinderella wouldn't even be allowed to set foot in. A marble staircase was in the back of the room and lead in two directions. The floors were a pale pink and the walls were pearl white. Chandeliers hung all around. It was the most beautiful room I have ever seen.

"Impressed?" I heard Kyoya say behind me. I turned to him with a huge smile on my face "Impressed is an understatement. I am completely and utterly shock and in awe." I said to him, trying to soak up all the magnificence at once. I heard him chuckle. I went to the huge windows and stroked the silk curtains

I've never seen anything like this... What is life...

This ballroom made me feel so classy and majestic. I looked around to make sure no one was around, and then prepared to dance a little. I started doing a little ballet while humming to myself. I spun and kicked and jumped a little. It made me feel like I was a princess. Until a voice interrupted me:

"Hey Dani..."

I froze and turn around to see Haruhi standing there. She looked kinda awkward...

"Hey Haruhi, what's up?" I said, halting my dancing and walking over to her.

"Can I ask you a question?" she asked quietly.

"Sure..." I said, knowing what she was going to ask.

"So... You're... A girl..."

"Yep, good job Haruhi..." I said sarcastically.

"Very funny. I'm serious... Why didn't you tell us?"

I took a deep breath before answering her.

"I'm... Not sure if I'm ready to answer. But let's just say its my parents choice.. Not mine. And sorry for being rude to you at the twins' house." I said to her.

She smiled. "I understand. Does anybody else know?"

"I'll give you three guess and the first two don't count..."

She thought for a second, "Kyoya..."

"Exactly... But it's just you and him."

"I won't tell anybody else. My lips are sealed..."

"Thank you Haruhi. I appreciate it."

She smiled "Well, now that I know you're a girl, we can probably be better friends! I don't really have any girl friends here at Ouran." Haruhi said.

"Yeah! That sound great!" I said. "And just so you now, I don't always sound like this." I told her. I relaxed my voice and talked in my higher, normal voice."I actually sound like this!" I said normally. She looked surprised. "How did you do that? That's amazing!"

I flashed her a smile, "I'm an actress babe, I can do a lot of things!" I told her. "And that 'Naomi Mochida' girl.. Yeah that was me when I'm not at Ouran." I confessed.

"You've gotta be kidding me.. You had me COMPLETELY fooled! You actually have brown hair? Then is that a wig?" she said, pointing towards my head.

"Yeppers. Did I really fool you?"

"Completely. When I stumbled upon the host club, they eventually figured out I was a girl... Like in the same day...but you... You had us fooled!"

I took a bow, "I pretty good like that. I guess I was a pretty convincing boy... I still don't know how I exactly feel about that."

She started to laugh, "It's a blessing and a curse. By the way.. You're dancing was incredible."

"Well thanks girly! I love dancing! I actually have a recital coming up, I would love it if you came and watched!" I told her with a smile.

"Sure! I would love to!" She smiled back. "I wish I wasn't such a stick when I dance."

We both started laughing, but Hikaru walked over to us and killed our cute bonding moment.

"Hey, if you two are done flirting over here, the party is about to start. Get set up." Hikaru said harshly. He turned around and stomped away. I'm looked a Haruhi and started giggling. " If only he knew." I said as we started walking towards the staircase. She smiled and rolled her eyes. "Don't mind Hikaru, he's kinda immature."

" You think I haven't figured that out already? But I do think he does like you a little..."

"Oh please..." Haruhi said, rolling her eyes.

SMALL TIME LAPSE.

The girls were let inside the huge hall. The lights in the hall were low,and the chatted of the excited girls were all you cold hear. Suddenly from on top of the staircase, Tamaki voice boomed out.

"It is so nice to see you here tonight, my little lambs. The Host Club would like to bid you, Welcome"

The lights came up and all of us bowed. The girls clapped and cheered. I felt like I was on stage again.

"As always ladies, the host club members are here for your entertainment. So feel free to dance to your hearts content. Based on her dancing, one lucky lady will be crowned tonight's Queen. The queens reward, a kiss on the check from the Host King." Kyoya said.

"Good luck, My Darlings" Tamaki said, sparkling. The girls started screaming and fainting.

These girls need to get a life, or at least a boyfriend. And how the hell does Tamaki do that sparkle thing? I must learn..

I was standing on the end of the staircase on the left. Hikaru and Kaoru were next to me, then Haruhi, Kyoya, Hunny, and Takashi. Tamaki was standing on the floor above us, him being the Host King and all.

We all walked down and offered to dance with some of the girls. I started dancing with a girl with a Green dress and black curly hair.

"Hello mademoiselle. You look lovely tonight." I told her, spinning her around.

"Oh Daniel, your so dreamy..." she said back, a glazed look in her eyes.

Fuckin nail it..

I danced with probably a dozen girls before I took a break to get a drink. While getting a drink, I saw Haruhi finishing dancing with a girl and start to slump against one of the pillars. I made my way over to her and leaned on it with her

"How ya feeling?" I said, speaking in my normal girl voice.

"My feet are killing me.., and I haven't even danced with that many people!"

"It's okay Haruhi, you get used to it after a while. You're doing a pretty good job so far! You're a pretty good dancer!"

"Thank you, Dani!" she said.

Suddenly, a girl came up to me and asked me to dance. I grabbed her hand and walked to the dance floor. We were dancing just fine, until out of the corner of my eye I saw Takashi and Hunny running away with Haruhi in their hands. I finished dancing with the girl and excused myself. I ran into the Changing room to see all the host, except Tamaki, in there.

"Is there like a separate party going on in here? What's going on?" I asked the Host Club.

"Haru-Chan is going to help Toru and Kanako get together again!" Hunny said, hopping around.

"Oh really? And how is she going to do that?"

"You'll see!" Hunny said, giggling.

Tamaki walked into the changing room, angry at the host club for leaving the guests out there alone. then, Haruhi stepped out of the changing room... In a dress? Yeah Haruhi was definitely in a dress and heels. Pink dress and heels to be exact. Witgh a little pink bag and extensions to go with it. You almost couldn't recognize her.

She just pulled a Dani!

"Nice..." Said the twins.

"Haru-Chan looks so cute!" Hunny exclaimed.

"Looking pretty good Haruhi." I told her, giving her a thumbs up.

"My face feels heavy and these shoes are hard to walk in." She said, heading towards the door. It made me cringe to see her walk it those heels.

Haruhi's gonna take a tumble and end up breaking her fucking knees. Please, somebody stop that train wreck!

"Good Luck!" the twins yelled as she walked out.

"Good Luck? With what?" I asked Kyoya.

"Haruhi is part of our little plan to get an engaged couple to realize their love for each other. This is just the start of Tamaki's little plan." Kyoya said.

"Do you think it's going to work?"

"Yes.. I do believe it will, but theres a little twist that Tamaki doesn't know about.." he said mischievously.

"Ahh.. Oh course... Something to make the night interesting..."

"Exactly..." Kyoya said, smiling.

We all returned to dance with the guests. Everything was going fine, until one of the girls ruffled my hair and I felt my wig slipping a little bit.

The last thing I need is My wig falling off in front of all these people.

I excused myself and ran to the changing room. I tried to fix my wig as best as I could. I yanked and tugged, but nothing was changing how uncomfortable it felt on my head. I pulled out my phone real fast to check the time, but immediately regretted doing this.

13 Missed Calls from Mom
