Hello humans! Happy 'hump day'! On my planet, we call it camel day but it's all the same to me. I hope you enjoy this chapter!


"Are you really good with character development, Senky-chan?" Kimi questioned as we strolled to the Host Club meeting the next day.

"Of course! How else do you think my characters are so well rounded in my story?" I said, answering her question with another question. When we reached the door to the Host Club, we heard voices from within. As I grabbed the door handle, Kimi swatted my hand away mischievously.

"Wait! Let's play Spies and listen in! This could be interesting!" she whispered to me while she put her ear to the door.

I'm not one for eavesdropping but I couldn't say I wasn't curious. Reluctantly, I too got down on the ground with her and put my ear to the door. What they were talking about really shocked me!

"I thought about it last night," a voice that was clearly Tamaki's said, "And maybe having a lady manager might not be such a bad idea."

"Why do you say that?" the twins asked harmonically in unison.

"Well isn't obvious?," Tamaki responded, "Renge just transferred into the same class as Haruhi. So if Haruhi has a girlfriend around, it could bring out the female within her. Renge's girlish air of tenderness might be able to stimulate Haruhi's own sense of femininity!"

Wait! What!? My voice wondered in my head. So is Haruhi really a…

"Now is our chance to help Haruhi get in touch with her feminine side, this is an important project men!" Tamaki announced.

As he bashed a bit on the twins, I took the time to exchange horrified glances with Kimi. Then, my outgoing, hyper friend threw the door open and screamed, "Haruhi's a girl!?"

A sickening silence fell upon the room and everyone looked pale from Kimi's surprising and unannounced appearance. After she let loose her new discovery, the twins raced over and covered her mouth.

"They know, Boss!" Kaoru reported, "What should we do!"

Haruhi tried to speak up but all the hosts butted in with ideas.

"I have secrets on both of them. Blackmail is an option," Kyoya stated.

"They can stare into Usa-chan's eyes and forget what they heard," Honey innocently said, holding up his stuffed bunny.

"Think we could induce amnesia?" Hikaru wondered until Haruhi yelled above all of them.

"Hey! That's enough guys!" she yelled, "This is about me here so I'll decide whether or not they can be trusted!"

"Actually…" Kyoya began to say but Haruhi wasn't done.

"These two have basically volunteered as assistant managers so I think we can trust them. Plus I already know Senka fairly well from dance lessons and from what I've learned, she's not a backstabber," Haruhi explained.

More silence followed until I broke the quiet.

"Wow…I never would've guessed…so why are you cross-dressing?" I asked.

The Host Club sat my friend and I down to tell the story of Haruhi Fujioka and the broken vase. Apparently, on her first day, Haruhi broke a pricey vase but being an honors student and not coming from a rich family, wasn't able to pay them back. Since then, the Host Club themselves slowly discovered her true gender but made her keep it a secret so she could continue to work in return.

"And you're ok with his Haruhi?" I asked her urgently, "Can't we help you get out of this in any way?"

"No, no. You two don't have to do that!" Haruhi said humbly, "I owe them and I promised I would pay them back with my own effort and money."

"So…now that we know…should we tell Renge?" Kimi made the mistake of asking.

This time my hand flew to her mouth and I frantically explained, "I know Renge and she's not one for keeping secrets. Trust me, she spoiled the end of Persona 3 for me."

Just then, the door opened and Renge popped her head in as Kimi and I tried to act as natural as possible.

"Hey everyone," she announced cheerfully, "You'll be happy to know that your new manager has baked you all some cookies!"

Kimi licked her lips but I put my hand on her should and just shook my head. The last time Renge tried to bake, she couldn't even handle the powdered sugar without having it spill all over the floor! The cookies were actually pretty burned and even Mori disapproved of Honey eating them. When Haruhi had one the twins decided to have a little fun.

"May I try?" Hikaru asked, biting off a bit of the cookie that was still hanging out of her mouth.

"Uh-oh, Haruhi, you got some crumbs on your face," Koaru cooed then proceeded to lick off a bit of the crumbs.

Oh, what I wouldn't give to be her. However, I'm sure Haruhi would've gladly switched with me if she could as she didn't looked too amused with the sibling's flirting. While Tamaki told the twins off for 'messing with daddy's little girl' Kimi noticed was looking a little envious.

"You ok?" she quietly asked me.

"Yeah…" I mumbled but before Kimi could make an effort to talk me through my depression, Renge's voice ran through the club room.

"EVERY SINGLE ONE YOU!" she yelled, "Except for Kyoya, all of your characters are lukewarm!"

"Here we go…" I grumbled.

Renge sometimes didn't agree with the characters in my story and would try to change them up. I could speak from experience that character development was something she took very seriously and if you tried to resist her transformations, things got ugly. After verbally lashing out at all of the Host Club, she violently pointed a finger at poor Honey.

"Let's start with you!" she yelled, "If all you are is cute inside and out then you're not different from a baby! Therefore, from now on, you're the baby-faced thug!"

Kimi started to hold back hysterical laughter again as Renge renamed each of the hosts with new character types. Mori was deemed the 'Child-hood flunky', the twins came to be 'the basketball players enslaved in their own world', Haruhi became 'the honors student who's constantly being bullied', and Tamaki was dramatically named 'The Lonely Prince'.

"And Kyoya, you're fine just the way you are so I want you to stay as kind and affectionate as always!" Renge beamed at her dream come true boy.

Kyoya put on a fake smile but Kimi and I seemed to be the only ones that could see through it. However, he was putting on a convincing act. While Tamaki struck a handful of cheesy poses to play up his new character type, the twins zoned in on me to chat about my past friend.

"Has she always been this eccentric?" Kaoru asked as he leaned up against me.

"I think the word you're looking for is annoying," Hikaru bluntly corrected his brother, leaning on the other side of me.

"Well she may seem weird at first but you'll get used to her and then she'll add a lot of spice to your life!" I told them, trying to think of a way for them to like her.

"I don't think she's something I want to get used to…" grumbled Hikaru.

"C'mon over guys!" Renge called from the group, "I need to start getting you into character and I could use Senka's help!"

"Oh fine," Hikaru sighed then began walking toward his 'new transformation'.

"Ok!" Kaoru called back.

But before he left, I felt his tongue brisk my cheek just barely. As he walked off, he gave me a cheeky smile with a little blush; I guess he had noticed my jealousy.

"He totally noticed your jealousy!" Kimi whispered, reading my mind.

"Yeah, but I bet now he thinks I'm jealous of him, not his brother!" I hissed back nervously.

Oh dear. I thought as I blew at my bangs. What have I done?
