I'm sorry for this long delay, hope this makes it up. After years of not playing Uno the card game, I won twice. I do not own OHSHC.


Sunny's POV

Senpai gave me orders to walk home in the stupid heels. With Haruhi walking next to me, ready to help me if I was about to slip. I had changed back in my regular school uniform, not wanting to dirty my Hostess uniform. Senpai stated that I would have to wear the white dress for every session, unless they had a cosplay theme for us to wear, then it was a completely different story.

Renge had just about forty minutes telling me to place my weight to the front of my feet, it wasn't so hard since I could do that barefoot already. But that didn't make it any easier as I felt so out of balance and disoriented. Kyoya-senpai then stated that the lesson was a disaster and that they would let me wear simple black flats for tomorrow and that I should practice on my own time, to which I was thankful for but saddened that Renge had spent all that time for nothing.

Then another hour teaching me some etiquette lessons, which included using only the very tip of a fork while eating cake, gently picking up and setting down a tea cup, then of course snapping at me to sip quietly, good posture. And of course being sure that I knew how to sit properly, which by the way was by positioning one foot in front of the other and placing my hands on my knees.

I was mentally and physically exhausted. The entire time everyone either watched my lessons or talked amongst each other. Hikaru and Kaoru got a kick out of it every time I made a mistake and Renge scolded me, all the while Honey-senpai kept telling me to do my best and not to worry.

I wonder if this was how it was always going to be, with Kyoya-senpai chastising me and Tamaki-senpai trying to get me to be more girlish than I actually am, all for the sake of getting Haruhi to act more like a girl. Hikaru knew my secret, so automatically I would have to play nice with him, which would then mean that I would need to be civil with Kaoru too, which wouldn't be that hard. Honey and Mori-senpai were nice to me and Haruhi would never be rude to me.

But it was tomorrow that I was afraid of, the thought of having to entertain a bunch of random girls that I didn't know. What did we even have in common? What on earth could we possibly talk about? Maybe if I was lucky no one would show up. But then that would mean that I couldn't repay Kyoya-senpai. Either way, there was no way for me to win.

Kyoya-senpai had said that in order for me to repay my debt, I would have to get about 550 guests to request my services. The way he worded it made me wonder what else he had planned. Who else but girls would ask to talk with me?

His words boggled me, he made it sound as if my career, if you could even call it that, would go smoothly. Haruhi warned me that being part of the Host Club had some strings attached to it, such as not really having enough time to study and being looked after like a little kid.

I couldn't let it get to me, if I thought too much about what was ahead I won't be able to see where I'm going. I needed to relax and accept the now, then worry about the future later.


I nervously stood next to Haruhi and the twins, keeping my shoulders back and my hands folded in front of me. Senpai said for us all to get in formation, for business was about about to start.

In other words, the moment of truth was upon us. Whether I would be able to entertain some guests or not.

Tamaki-senpai came up in front of me, something red in his hands. "Here, I thought there was something missing yesterday, since Haruhi didn't like it I thought to give it to you," he said. In his hands was a shiny red bow accented with a few white stripes. I didn't stop him as he leaned down a bit to place it in my hair, then moving my new bangs out of my eyes. "Relax, you're going to be just fine." He put a comforting hand on my left shoulder, then sat down in his chair.

That set my nerves a little at ease, but it did nothing to reassure me. I would just have to hope for the best.

The doors opened. "Welcome," we all called out, with me a few seconds late. The girls all immediately met their usual host, with the guys and Haruhi walking them over to their tables. Until once again, only Kyoya-senpai and I were standing alone.

"I guess I didn't make the cut today," I muttered to him. "I'll just go study in the corner until I'm actually needed." But before I could take a step to the window seat far away, he stopped me.

"Actually," he started, "you have three guests requesting your services, but it seems as if two are just arriving. Kanako Kasugazaki and Momoka Kurakano." He pointed over my shoulder, towards the doors. I saw two girls, both with brown hair and the most dazzling smiles as their eyes landed on me. I awkwardly waved over at them. The floor started rumbling, neither the guests or hosts blinked at the sudden disturbance, continuing on with their conversations.

"Sorry!" yelled the familiar voice as she jumped down from the podium. "I had a bit of trouble deciding if I should dress up or not, but since it's Sunny's first day and all I thought it would be rude to upstage her." As she walked over to us the podium started to sink back into the floor. I wonder, will I get used to that sort of craziness?

"Hello, Sunlight," a soft voice called out. It was the girl with the short brown hair that showed of her bright golden eyes, kind of reminding me of the twins', but hers weren't elliptical enough to be like their cat-like eyes. She didn't have a very intimidating air to her, neither one of them. The other girl had bangs and large chocolate eyes that made her entire face warm and opening, the little twin buns on her head showing off her lovely hair.

"Hello," I answered back, bowing my head at them. Learning from my mistake the first day, I couldn't shake their hands in greeting. "Come with me, if you please." I remember the slight lesson Haruhi gave me as we walked home, how to make them comfortable and at set them at ease.

We sat down at my side of the room, a little ways away from Haruhi and the twins. Carefully I poured the tea in the pretty white tea cup, it was decorated with both golden flowers and trim, while resting on top of two saucers. The name of it escaping me at the moment.

One of the girls eyed it, her eyes softened as she reached for it. "My, what a lovely pattern," she said, her voice containing such care and tenderness. "This is an "Antoinette" with a montrose shape."

I snapped my fingers, "That's it. Senpai had it picked out because it had the same name as his dog. But how did you know that?" I asked politely.

All of us turned to her, her face slightly blushing. "My fiancée is the heir of a first-rate corporation that deals with fine china tableware," she says, gazing into her teacup.

"Way to rub it in, Kanako," whines Renge. "The rest of us don't even have boyfriends, and here you are already knowing who you're going to marry." Kanako blushes a bit more.

"You're engaged?" I asked, sitting down, remembering how to position myself.

"Yes, to Toru Suzushima. He had left last year to study abroad in Europe. We've been engaged since we were little kids and he taught me all about tableware." (If you haven't figured out who she is by now, you're an idiot.)

"I don't know anything about romance, but that sounds adorable," I said. In the long second it took for everyone to absorb my sentence they all looked at me, shock clear on their faces. "What?" I asked, confused.

"You mean to tell us that you've never had a boyfriend?" asked Momoka, eyes wide. I shook my head. Each of their mouths hung open, astonishment and disbelief on their faces.

"Well, why not?" demanded Renge.

"I was never really interested in being in a relationship in high school," I explained. "I was just focused on my life, not in whether or not I should have a boyfriend. But my friend has had a few in the past."

"Is she still in a relationship now?" asked Kanako.

"No, most of the time her brother scares the guy off or they aren't interested. The first time was in middle school, she came to my house in tears after being rejected by him right in front of his friends. The next day I walked right up to the guy and I believe my exact words were "It's because your gay, isn't it?", and of course I said this right in front of his buddies. Thinking back, I was pretty out of line, but I was so angry."

They giggled at my words. "You're such a good friend," said Momoka. The others nodding in agreement.

"That means a lot, thanks," I said. "After that we that we would never abandon each other because of a guy, that we would always find our way back to each other in the end, even if we're in a relationship. She's like a sister to me, I care deeply about my friends."


I'm thinking about maybe including Ritsu Kasanoda, what do you think? Can you guess what type I'm making Sunny?
