RECAP: "My name's Haruhi, Haruhi Fujioka," Haruhi smiled.

Aiko's POV

Haruhi stuck "his" hand out to shake mine. I gaped at Haruhi. It took me a while to recover.

"Oh. My. Gosh! Haruhi, it's me! It's me, Aiko Kazuki! You know, pen pal since the 5th grade," I proclaimed. Like me, it took a couple of minutes for that piece of information to sink in. Once she recovered, she enveloped me in a tight hug. Let me tell you this, Haruhi is not one to give out hugs so easily, so moments like these must be cherished.

"I can't believe it! You're here! In Japan!" she exclaimed, shocked.

"I know!" I exclaimed, grinning.

"Wait, exactly when DID you get here... in Japan?" she asked, ever so blunt. I shrugged and told her that I was here to stay. Another hug followed as excitement pumped through our veins. It was at that moment when a blonde haired guy walked in the room.

"Oh, Haruhi," he sung and opened his eyes, revealing his violet eyes.

"Yes, senpai," she deadpanned as she let go of me. I sweatdropped, 'Ohhh... Haruhi,' I thought.

"Who's this? A friend of yours?" he asked, clasping his hands together, his eyes sparkling with excitement, smiling.

"As a matter of fact, senpai, yeah, she is," she replied.

"Oh, how wonderful!" he exclaimed, dramatically. He went and tried to hug Haruhi, failing in the end. I sweatdropped.

He set his sights on me and said, "It's nice to meet a friend of Haruhi's, after all, a friend of Haruhi's is a friend of mine. Wouldn't you agree, mademoiselle?" He grasped my right hand and kissed the back of it, kneeling as he did so. I was taken aback.

"Ah, un Français! Comme c'est étrange, je n'ai jamais pensé que je vois un au Japon! (Ah, a French! How strange, I never thought I'd see one in Japan!) "I stated.

"Vous parlez français, aussi bien? Magnifique! Mon nom est Suoh Tamaki. Heureux de vous rencontrer, jeune fille charmante! (You speak French as well? Beautiful! My name is Tamaki Suoh. Nice to meet you, lovely girl!)" He exclaimed, clearly enthralled.

After our little exchange, we bid our goodbyes and parted ways. Before leaving, Haruhi invited me over to her house sometime this weekend. I agreed and continued on with my exploration.

~Some Hours Later~

"It's been a long day..." I mumbled as I was laying down on my bed, "I can't wait to start school though." I walked over to my desk and opened my laptop. I decided to get on IM and see if I had any new messages. I had three, one from Alexys, her mom, and then her brother. They all composed of "are you ok?" "How are you?" or "hey, I know you're probably busy, but message me and update me whenever you can. (:"
I typed a short reply saying that I was fine, I'm enrolled and starting school next week.

Author's Note: Hi guys, first of, no, I haven't abandoned this story. It's just that school has kept me plenty busy, but I've been working on chapters on my phone, so I will upload them whenever I can.
