A/N: Jeez I am so sorry for the late update. It's been forever, hasn't it? I've been super duper busy; vacations, projects, dealing with some random shit, and of course I need my daily dose of anime. The next update will be much faster, I promise.
Also I would like to thank 30thCenturyBreakdown for the spectacular KaoruxHunny fanart that is currently my profile picture/avatar thing. It's really awesome and I love it!
Disclaimer: I don't own Ouran or any of the characters. Not yet at least :P

The next morning (4:21 in the morning to be exact) Kaoru woke up to the sound of his cell phone ringing. The noise grated on his ears and he buried his head in the chest of his still sleeping brother.
"Hikaru~" he muttered, "Phone." The older twin responded by groaning and pulling the blanket up over his head as if that would block out the noise.
"You get it," he said. Or tried to say, at least. Between the thick blanket and his half-asleep state it came out as not much more than an irritated grunt.
"C'mon, you're closer, you get it.". When he received no answer from his brother, Kaoru sighed and pushed himself into an upright position, reaching over Hikaru to grab the phone from the bedside table. He could only think of one person that would call at this ungodly hour, and the caller ID confirmed his suspicions. The redhead flipped the phone open and put it on speaker so Hikaru would be able to hear. "Ngh, it's early, Milord. What could you possibly want?". The voice that came back from the other end was much too loud and energetic for this time of day, or what most people would still consider night.
"Oh good, you're here! I thought you would never pick up. Can you believe that some people have the nerve to just ignore my calls? In fact, you're the first person to answer! Or.. oh no! Do you think something happened to the others that would make them unable to answer? They could have been kidnapped for a ransom. Or maybe they were poisoned so that a doppelganger could take their place and use their fortune for evil purposes! Or..."
"Or maybe they're sleeping, just like you should be." Hikaru interrupted, cutting Tamaki off mid-rant.
"Are you going to tell us what this is all about, Milord?"
"Right! We haven't been anywhere in ages and ages, so the host club is going on a field trip after school today!". The twins immediately perked up. As annoying as most of Tamaki's plans were, they never failed to entertain the two for at least a little while.
"Where are we going?" Kaoru asked. Tamaki must have sensed the change in tone from the younger boy, because he became even more excited, if that was possible.
"There's an amusement park that's just about to open, and the owner is a business associate of my father's so we were invited to test all the rides and everything! It's going to be amazing! Well I should probably go tell everyone else now. Maybe they'll pick up this time. I'll see you at school!" and with that, Tamaki hung up. Without Tamaki's infectious excitement to keep them awake, the twins collapsed back onto the bed and fell asleep almost immediately. Excitement could wait a few hours.
A/N: I know it's a short chapter but the next update's going to be really quick. Just a day or two probably. So be patient and in the meantime, how about you press that pretty little button down there and review? Reviews feed my soul and give me more inspiration to write, so it's a good thing for everybody! Until next time, I bid thee farewell :)
