Chapter 18:

Chinatsu POV:

We were having a party. How it started I wasn't really sure. All I knew was one morning I woke up with a note from Mom on my desk saying to wear nice clothes, that the party started at noon, and I was supposed to bring a date.

Hurray for short notice.

I walked down to breakfast and met up with the boys. "Morning." I mumbled. "Do you know what's up with the party?"

"Just a meet and greet with the who's who of the fashion world." Kouru said.

"So why do we have to go?"

Hikaru laughed at me. "Not yet used to the demands of high society, princess?"

I snorted at him as I sat down. "Yeah right." Amy stumbled down the stairs not to long after the rest of us started to eat.

"Morning." I told her. She glared at me and started to eat.

"I see as you're as chipper as ever." Kouru said.

"Shut up." She muttered.

"Ah forever the morning ray of sunshine." I said shoveling more eggs into my mouth.

Hikaru just shook his head laughing.

One of the maids set a cup of coffee in front of Amy. She downed it in about four second flat. "Okay I'm better." She said. "Sorry." She murmured glancing at Kouru.

"It's alright." He said.

"That reminds me…" I said. "Hikaru, How are things with Haruhi?"

He choked on his toast and glared at me. "Fine." He managed to cough out. "Why?"

"Well I was thinking the two of you were supposed to bring dates tonight right? Why don't you ask her?"

Hikaru turned about twelve shades darker and Amy laughed. She turned to Kaoru and blushed a little when she saw how he was looking at her. "Um… Who were you thinking of asking?"

"Uh- M- me?" He asked. Amy nodded. "Well uh… actually I figured that since you're supposed to go too… maybe… you… would be my date?"

Hikaru and I both looked at Amy. "Uh… sure… It'd be a pleasure."

I offered her a smile when she looked at me red as a tomato.

Then all three of us turned to Hikaru. "Call Haruhi!"

"Oh all right, I will after we eat. Who are you going to ask by the way?"

I frowned. "I don't know. It's not like I know to many guys. I know Chouko's going and I'm pretty sure she's bringing Dai, the only other guys I know are the ones in the host club."

"Tamaki's going, I'm sure he'd stand in as your date." Amy said.

"Vetoed!" The boys said.

"What?" I asked.

"Don't get us wrong." Kaoru started. "The boss is great and all."

"But he's not the most subtle about teaching society rules to people." Hikaru said.

Kaoru picked up for him. "This is your first function as a member of high society in a while. You need someone who will lead in a sly manner."

"So that leaves…" Amy trailed off.

"Morri or Kyoya." I said.

The boys looked at each other and Hikaru pulled out his phone. "We'll call Kyoya. Meanwhile you two need to find out what to wear."

"Alright." Amy stood up taking another cup of coffee with her.

"See you guys later." I said standing "Oh and Hikaru I certainly hope you mean Kaoru will call Kyoya. You still need to call Haruhi."

He blushed and glared at me but didn't argue.

I took it as a good sign.

I'll update this one 2 times today to make up for last week. Explanation in chapter 19. Read and review please!
