"One last picture!" That's what Hikaru and Kaoru's mom said as we stood in our caps and gowns. The Host Club gathered around, smiling hugely.

She snapped the pictures and we formed a circle. I could barely believe that my high school career was over. It was amazing how fast time went by.

Everyone talked animatedly about the last ride ball that the Host Club was having later that night. It was the last thing that the Host Club was going to do. One last ball before the doors of Music Room 3 were closed forever. It was almost sad.

"We're going to have loads of fun tonight," Honey said happily.

"We made the best dress ever for Rikku," Kaoru said.
"Yeah, it's a one of kind design," Hikaru said.

"I hope you guys didn't go over board," I mumbled, making a face at them.

"You'll like it," they promised.

I laughed but suddenly wasn't so sure. The twins were known for their craziness - especially when it came to my outfits.

Takeshi gave me a kiss, out of really nowhere.

"Whoa," I breathed.

"I'm proud of you," he smiled. I turned red.

"Hey, no fair," Tamaki said scooting in between Takeshi and I. "I want to hug my precious daughter!"

"We want to hug Rikku too!" the twins said.

"Stay back Devil Twins!" Tamaki warned.

"Kyoya," I groaned, smothering in Tamaki's vice like grip. "Make him stop! He's crushing me."

Kyoya got an amused look on his face. He wasn't going to help me. Stupid Devil Man. "I'm afraid I can't help you out of this situation."

"Honey - sempai!" I called.

Honey had gotten taller over the last three years. He was officially taller than me. He looked down at me and said, with a smile, "I can't. Tama - chan wants to hug his daughter."

"Well, if you don't save me, you can't hug your cousin," I said.

He smiled, obviously content to watch me be crushed to death by Tamaki.

"We have to go, Mitskuni," Takeshi said. "Take good care of her Kyoya."

He gave me a kiss.

"Where are you going?" I cried reaching out to him. "At least save me, before you go!"

Takeshi pulled me out of Tamaki's death hold. I was laughing hysterically as I turned to face Takeshi.

"Where are you going?" I asked.

"It's a surprise," he smiled at me and gave me another kiss. "Don't let them run over you. We'll be back at the ball. I'll meet you there later."

"Okay," I gave him a slight kiss and waved good bye.

"Well," Hikaru began.
"Does this mean," Kaoru continued
"We get to play with Rikku by ourselves all day?" they cooed.

"Tamaki and I will be accompanying you all day," Kyoya said, scribbling things down on his Black Book of Demon Knowledge. "So, you won't be doing anything too rough."

Apparently, there was a god and his messenger was Kyoya... I'd take what I could get - no matter how crazy it seemed. That was something that I'd learned from the Host Club.

~~Mori's P.O.V.~~

I walked into the jewelers with Mitskuni. I was kinda nervous because I didn't have a clue as to what I was doing. And thinking about what I had to do later that night made me sick to my stomach.

"Everything will okay Takeshi," Mitskuni tried to encourage me. That was half of the reason that I brought him with me. "You and Ri - chan love each other. It'll work out just fine."

Had to love his logic.

~~Rikku's P.O.V.~~

The day went on. After lunch, the boys made me take them to the supermarket. I couldn't believe that after all the years that they'd known me, they still had an obsession with commoner's culture. I figured they would've experienced enough of it.

Finally, we started to prepare for the party. The twins pushed me into a dressing room, with my dress for that night.

It was made of light, silky fabric. It was black and went down to just past my knees and had spaghetti straps. There was a sparkly red sash around the waist with a diamond encrusted thing in the middle. I put it on. The twins had really gone all out on this dress.

I smiled at myself in the mirror. Over the last few years, my hair had gotten a little longer. It was down at my shoulders now, and some of the host club members (mainly the twins and Tamaki) asked that I never cut it again.

With one last look at myself, I went out to join the host club. Takeshi gave me a surprised smile, letting me know what he thought of the dress.

"Thank you," Tamaki said in his usual grandiose fashion. "From the bottom of our hearts, for joining us one last time as our Host Club guests. Please, enjoy the festivities."

We all bowed and the party began.

~~Mori's P.O.V.~~

I'll have to thank the twins, I thought after seeing Rikku in her dress. She looks... breath taking.

After the introduction, we moved out into the crowd. All of the host club insisted on dances with Rikku, which didn't bother me. I needed time to gather myself anyway.

The dance with Mitskuni and Rikku wasn't really a dance. They just spun around in rapid circles, laughing the whole time.

After Mitskuni, Kaoru - I think, I never figured out how Rikku told them apart, though she'd tried to teach me - stepped in and danced with her for a minute before handing her off to his twin.

After him, Tamaki tried to cut in but Kyoya took her before he got the chance. That sent him into his patented Tamaki style fits. It was funny to watch.

Once Kyoya decided that Tamaki had suffered enough, she passed her along to Tamaki. Rikku seemed to be having the time of her life.

I knew how much she liked to dance. She'd dance with me in the kitchen of our apartment to no music.
After Tamaki had his time, I interceded and danced her right out onto the balcony. The night was much cooler than inside the building.

"You look stunning," I told her, brushing some of her hair to the side.

She gave me an embarrassed look. "Thank you," she said.

I took her hand in mine. "You know, we've been together for nearly three years," I began.

That's the worse opening line ever. Way to go idiot. Might as well run with it though, I though, my inner idiot was working over time today.

"I never want to be without you," I told her, slowly dropping down to one knee. "I love you more than anyone else in this world and I would be honored if you married me."

Rikku stared at me for a moment, her mouth hanging open and her eyes wide with shock and unshed tears. It looked like her heart may have stopped beating. I knew mine did.

Finally, she responded my flinging herself on me and kissing me. "Of course!" she cried

.
I never figured out what I did to deserve her. I never expected Rikku to be so enthusiastic either. I was expecting a simple yes but I got a tackle hug, a kiss and a yes. Best night ever.

~~Later~~

Rikku was asleep in the bed with me. She was curled up to my side, her new shiney engagement ring sitting on my chest.

I picked her hand up carefully, to not disturb her as she slept. I liked my pinky with Rikku's.

"I'll love you forever," I mumbled. "This pinky promise is legit and if I break this pinky promise, you can break my pinky – promise."

I kissed the back of her hand and finally fell asleep.
