Chap. 7-

"So basically, our mom's always wanted us to get married in the future, and he ended up falling for me," I said. I flipped my hair over my shoulder. "But of course, who could resist THIS!?" I chuckled.

"You just keep thinking that..." Haruhi said, patting my shoulder.

"Shut up sis," I grumbled, making her giggle.

"Akio, Akio, Akio..." Haruhi sighed. "I remember him! He was always sticking on you like glue!" I took a mug of commoners coffee.
"That's sickening," Kaoru mumbled, looking to the side.

"It was annoying," I agreed, nodding my head.

"OKI-CHAN!" Honey yelled, running out the door and grabbing my arm.

"Hey Honey-Senpai," I said, trying not to fall over.

"Kyo-Chan wants to know how the song for the music commercial is going!" Honey said.

"Eh... song?" I asked, staring at him with a confused look on my face.

"Remember?" Hikaru asked. "You need to write the song for the commercial."

"Eh... OH YEAH! It's going... great!" I lied, scratching the back of my head.

"Okay! I'll go tell him that!" Honey skipped back into the room. Kaoru and Hikaru grabbed my shoulders and pulled me back towards them.

"You haven't started, have you?" They asked at the same time.

"Shut it," I grumbled, stomping away down the hall.

That night~

"2am... FEELIN' GREAT!" I yelled, spinning around in my chair. I stopped and stared at my slightly filled out music sheet in front of me.

"PENCIL! *yawn* DO YOUR MA-A-MAGIC!" I said while yawning, pressing my pencil against the paper.

Later~

"AND HERE I AM!" I yelled, running into the music room.

"Oki!" Haruhi yelled. "Hows the song comin'?"

"I HAD TO STAY UP ALL NIGHT, BUT I GOT IT!" I yelled, shoving a pile of papers in her face. "Just not the lyrics yet..."

"You stayed up all nigh!?" Haruhi yelled, grabbing my shoulders and shook me back and forth. "HAVEN'T YOU LEARNED YOUR LESSON!?"

"Hey back off," I said, poking her shoulder. "I was age 13 at that time! I'm older now!"

"Hey Oki," The clones said, walking over to me.

"Oh hey Bill, Bill the second!" I said in a sleepy voice, wobbling over to them.

"What?" Kaoru asked.

"Oh Bill the Second, you goof!" I said, grabbing his arm, pulling him down, and patting his head.

"Whats wrong with her...?" Hikaru asked.

"Whenever she stays up real late, or all night... the next morning she acts like... well... THIS!" Haruhi answered.

"Heeeeeey Bill the Second!" I said, poking Kaoru in the forehead.

"Y-yes?" He asked nervously.

"I just realized, you look just like Bill!" I started giggling like a mad man.

"So much for mature..." Haruhi mumbled.

"WHAT UP SISTA!?" I yelled, glomping Haruhi.

"Oki! Get off!"

"Oki...?" Tamaki asked, lifting me off of Haruhi.

"HEY ITS THE BLOND IDIOT!" I yelled, pointing at Tamaki. And then, of course, he went into a corner (emo) to sulk in his despair of being called a blond idiot...

"Oki, chill out!" Haruhi ordered.

"DONT TELL ME TO GET YOUR FRENCH FRIES OLD HAG! DO IT YOURSELF!" I yelled, slapping her hand away from my shoulder that she was shaking.

"I'm only a month older then you!" She complained.

"BILL! BILL THE SECOND!" I yelled, pointing at the clones.

"YES MA'AM!" The yelled.

"GO GET A BABY ELEPHANT!" I ordered.

"Why!?" They asked simultaneously.

"YOUR RIGHT! WHY GO WITH A BABY ELEPHANT!? GO BUY ME THE BIGGEST, OLDEST, FANCIEST ELEPHANT EVER!" I yelled, spinning around in circles.

"Is Oki-Chan drunk?" Honey asked, walking over to me.

"OH HEY DAR' BABY BELUGA!" I yelled. I grabbed his arm and lifted him off the ground, spinning him around in circles.

"Oki!" Haruhi and the clones yelled at the same time.

"Oki..." Mori said, with NO emotion.

"LETS PLAY CATCH!" I yelled, throwing Honey at Mori.

"HEY HARUHI," I said.

"Yes...?" She asked.

"DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE SONG! I CAN FINISH IT TONIGHT!" I yelled, tripping over a chair and falling on my face. "EVEN IF I HAVE TO STAY UP ALL NIGHT AGAIN!"

"What!?" Haruhi yelled.

"YOU NEED ME TO SAY IT LOUDER, OLD HAG?" I asked her, yelling into her ear.

"No thanks..." Haruhi said. "But you can't stay up all night again!"

"DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!" I yelled.

"But Oki..." Haruhi said.

"SHUT UP! I'M GONNA GO WORK ON IT RIGHT NOW!" I exclaimed, wobbling towards the exit.

"Oki!" She yelled. But it was to late. I made it out the door... I fell over a few times... BUT I MADE IT OUT!

That night~

"Whats wrong with me?" I asked myself, holding my head in my hands. "Usually the lyrics come poring out of me like a... a... I CAN'T EVEN COME UP WITH THE WORD!" I threw my head back in despair. "Lets see... host club, love, idiots..." I sighed. "Usually love songs are so easy to write lyrics to!" I looked at the clock.

"3:37am" It read. I turned to my paper. Nothing... I rolled out of my chair, and crawled towards my bed.

"Goodnight~" I said to no one in particularly.

"Blitz! Blitz!" I turned to face my cell, and saw it was vibrating. I reached up my hand and grabbed it.

"Hello?" I asked into it.

"Hey Oki! It's Haruhi," The person on the other line said.

"Oh. Hey Haruhi," I said in a sleepy voice.

"Hows the song coming?" She asked.

"Oh... It's doin' great!" I lied.

"Oki," Haruhi said seriously.

"What!?" I asked.

"GO. TO. BED!"

"Shut up Haruhi," I said, hanging up the cell phone. She called like 3-5 more times, but i refused to answer. Finally, she gave up.

"Sweet, sweet sleep," I sighed, rushing my head against my pillow.

"Blitz! Blitz!"I turned to my cell and saw it vibrating again. I let it ring 7 more times before I shoved it against my ear.

"WHAT!?" I yelled into it.

"O-oki?" The person on the other line asked. I could tell it wasn't Haruhi...

"Who is this?" I asked into it, sitting up.

"This is Kaoru..." The person answered.

"Oh, Hey Kaoru!" I said cheerfully. "Whats up?"

"I was just calling to ask how the lyrics were coming," Kaoru said.

"Oh uhh... In all honesty- I haven't even started..." I admitted.

"Do you umm... I mean, would you like..." He stuttered. He took a deep breath and blurted out his question. "Would you like some help?"

"YES!" I yelled into the cell. "PLEASE!" He chuckled.

"I'll see you soon then," He said, hanging up. I rolled over the side of my bed.

'Oww,' I thought. I was happy my friend was coming over to help, but I was in a funk. I crawled over to my window, and opened it up. I climbed up and sat on the edge, looking out to the star filled sky with a full moon.

"What a beautiful night sky..." I said. "Just like that one night when i was 6..."

Flash back~

"Mommy!" I said cheerfully, sitting up in my bed. "Read this story!" I shoved a book at her.

"I just read this to you yesterday!" My mom chuckled. "How about a song instead?"

"Yay! SONG!" I exlaimed. My mom laughed and gently closed her eyes. She began to sing... (Lullaby for a Princess.. GO LISTEN TO IT VIA YOUTUBE!)

Fate has been cruel and order unkind
How can I have sent you away?
The blame was my own; the punishment, yours
The harmony's silent today

But into the stillness I'll bring you a song
And I will your company keep
Till your tired eyes and my lullabies
Have carried you softly to sleep

Once did a pony who shone like the sun
Look out on her kingdom and sigh
She smiled and said, "Surely, there is no pony
So lovely and so well beloved as I"

So great was her reign and so brilliant her glory
That long was the shadow she cast
Which fell dark upon the young sister she loved
And grew only darker as days and nights passed

Soon did that pony take notice that others
Did not give her sister her due
And neither had she loved her as she deserved
She watched as her sister's unhappiness grew

But such is the way of the limelight, it sweetly
Takes hold of the mind of its host
And that foolish pony did nothing to stop
The destruction of one who had needed her most

Lullay moon princess, goodnight sister mine
And rest now in moonlight's embrace
Bear up my lullaby, winds of the earth
Through cloud, and through sky, and through space

Carry the peace and the coolness of night
And carry my sorrow in kind
Luna, you're loved so much more than you know
May troubles be far from your mind
And forgive me for being so blind

The years now before us
Fearful and unknown
I never imagined
I'd face them on my own

May these thousand winters
Swiftly pass, I pray
I love you; I miss you
All these miles away

May all your dreams be sweet tonight
Safe upon your bed of moonlight
And know not of sadness, pain, or care
And when I dream, I'll fly away and meet you there
Sleep...
Sleep...
Sleep...

My mother looked down at my sleeping face. She quietly covered me with a blanket. She walked over towards my door and turned the light off.

"Mommy..." I said quietly.

"Yes sweetie?" My mom asked.

"I always feel bad for the moon princess..." I said with my eyes closed. "Shes my favorite..."

"Dont worry sweetie... the moon princess is going to be okay!" My mom comforted.

"Good... good night Mommy," I said, cuddling my blanket.

"Good night... my sweet," She said.

Flash back, OVER!

"Oki?" A voice asked. I turned around and saw Kaoru. "Are you... crying?"

"K-kaoru!" I cried. I tried to climb back into my room, but i tripped over and fell out the window...
