Rin hadn't been acting herself lately. Ever since she came back from her little weekend with her sister she just wasent the same. She didn't make any snacks for the week she didn't laugh like she did when honey did something cute and when she read poems to the girls they were all about pain and death defiantly not the cheery upbeat poems about love and romance she usually read.

"Are you…Feeling okay Rin?" Haruhi asked watching Rin as she was currently staring at her cupcake magazine blankly.

"I'm fine Haruhi." Rin answerd bitterly turning a page in her magazine.

"Ri-Chan!" honey jumped up and sat on her lap "You wanna have some-"

"No thank you honey..." Rin sighed "I'm not hungry…" Honey had a sad look in his eyes before slipping off her lap

"Okay…" he said in a small voice and walked over to his cake and the cake he had prepared for Rin.

"What's wrong Princess?" Tamaki swept in next to Rin "You aren't nearly as opinionated and happy as you usually are! You're not sick are you?!" he laid the back of his hand on her forehead. "You don't have a fever."

"I'm fine okay?" she shooed away his hand. "I just don't feel like talking okay? I just…" she put her magazine in front of her face "I wanna read this article."

"Do you normally read your literature upside down?" Kyouya called out not stopping his typing. Rin stiffened slightly.

"I'm practicing a new skill…" she bit bitterly

"Look Rin if there's something wrong-" Haruhi began before Rin slammed her magazine down on the table.

"Nothing is wrong okay?! Why are you guys hounding me?!" she yelled looking around at everyone.

"You're just acting a little strange that's all." Hikaru stated

"Yeah usually you're more colorful than this." Kaoru continued.

"Well I'm fine okay?" she stood up and began packing her things "I'm not always the shiny happy Rin all the time okay?" she roughly swung her bag over her shoulder and strode out the door. "I'm going home I have to feed the cat." She gently shut the door remembering what happened last time she slammed it

"She doesn't have a cat…" Haruhi stated quietly.

"Does anyone have any idea why she's acting so bitter?" Tamaki asked everyone. "This isn't like her…"

"She has a presentation on Wednesday…" Haruhi thought "She said she was really nervous about it…"

"That's it!" Tamaki exclaimed "Rin has been working so hard being a good host and keeping her grades up she must be so stressed!" he clapped his hands "Gentlemen! We have a mission…"

"Hey Rin." Both of the twins stood on either side of her in the lunch room. "What-cha up to?"

"I'm getting a napkin…" unless they charge for those to Rin thought to herself as she grabbed a few.

"Do you wanna eat with us?" Kaoru offered linking his arm with hers.

"Yeah we'll buy you a lunch!" Hikaru took her other side as they lead her over to the food bar "What do you want to eat?"

"I bet you want the A lunch right?" Kaoru suggested pulling her close.

"No I bet you want the B lunch!" Hikaru pulled her to his side.

"No." Kaoru pulled her to his side. "She wants the A lunch…"

"No…" Hikaru pulled her to his side. "She wants the B lunch" he growled.

"Ummm…guys?" Rin called out meekly before Kaoru roughly pulled her to him

"She wants the A lunch!"

"B lunch!"

"A!"

"B!"

They bantered pulling Rin back and forth though out the entire experience before Kaoru broke down

"I'm sorry Hikaru…" he embraced his brother with Rin in between them "your right the B lunch is better…"

"No Kaoru I'm sorry…" Hikaru embraced him back Squishing Rin even more. "You're right the A lunch is the right choice for Rin"

"No no Hikaru." He touched his brother's face lovingly. "You were right you have better taste buds than me…I would know."

Through out this Rin slipped out from in-between the twins and exited the cafeteria… with no napkin.

"Ri-Chan!" Honey glomped Rin as she was staring aimlessly into the schools pond. "Have some cake with me and Takashi!"

"Yeah." Mori grunted.

"Come on! We got lots!" Honey dragged her over to a grassy area, there set up was a large table wit all sorts of cakes and pastries on it.

"How did you get this out here?" Rin asked skeptically eyeing all the treats. "And were did you plug in that chocolate fountain?"

"Which one do you want Ri-chan?" Honey held up an assorted plate of fancy chocolates. "You can have as much as you want!"

"Yeah." Mori grunted as he pulled out a chair and gently guided her into it.

"Which one do you want to try first Rin?!" He held up a plate of cupcakes in her face. "These are lemon cupcakes."

"Mitskune…don't have to much cake…" He reminded "You'll get a cavity…"

"I won't get a cavity Takashi!" Honey smiley innocently taking a bite of cake "I always brush my teeth! Remember?!" Honey basically inhaled a cupcake getting crumbs all over his face.

"Mitskune…" Mori sighed grabbing a napkin "You've got crumbs on your face…" Mori whipped the crumbs and icing off his face.

"Thank you Takashi! So Rin which one do you…Rin?" during this they hadn't noticed Rin had made a Beeline to the escape route.

"Hey Haruhi…" Rin sighed as she sat down next to her on the Park bench "Ready to study?"

"Actually we don't have to study right away…" Haruhi started, thinking about what Tamaki said earlier.

"Oh?" Rin ceased retrieving her notebook from her bag "What did you wanna do?"

"I don't know we could go to this café down the street?" Haruhi suggested pointing in a certain direction "I've got a buy one get one half off coupon for frozen coffee they also have really good Muffins"

"Eh…" Rin shrugged "I'm not really thirsty for coffee right now…"

"We don't have to get coffee we could get a smoothie or sushi or something…" Haruhi offered but Rin shook her head

"I'm not really hungry…but if you are you can go get food…" Rin shrugged drawing circles in her notebook with her finger.

"Nah that's okay…" Haruhi shrugged "Do you wanna go to the park and walk around instead? We can walk by that church with the pretty stain glass widows you like"

"Actually Haruhi…" Rin shoved her notebook in her backpack and stood up "I remembered I have to go home and help my dad with something… we can study some other time okay?" Rin walked away without another word

"Okay bye Rin!" Haruhi called as cheerfully as possible. Rin tossed a lazy wave over her shoulder. Leaving Haruhi with furrowed brows and a worried heart.

88888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888

Rin sighed as she dragged her feet down the hallway and bags under her eyes. She hadn't slept a wink last night. She pinched her cheek to try and wake herself up but nothing seemed to work. The combination of being upset AND tired made it difficult for her to wake up. She wanted to sleep so badly but she just couldn't bring herself to it. With a sigh she stopped in front of the host club, with great effort she pushed open the large doors to be met with a great bright light.

"What the…" Rin immediately put a hand in front of her face to block out the light. As it dimmed it revealed Kyouya dressed up in a suit and bowing before her.

"We've been waiting for you mademoiselle" Kyouya purred and held out a gloved hand to her "Please come in welcome, to the Ouran host club."

"Kyouya?" Rin looked up at him as he took her hand and lead her into the host club "I'm Rin I work here remember?" Rin reminded him. She was so confused it wasent like him to be so formal with her.

"Ah there you are." Kyouya led her to Tamaki who was dressed as a Greek god in a toga and everything, sitting on an extravagant fancy pillow arrangement. "Please princess come sit with me…"

"What's going on?" Rin walked over to Tamaki "That's cool cosplay but why-" Suddenly Tamaki grabbed her arm and yanked her down to him an onto his lap. "Oomph." Rin grunted as she landed on his lap "Tamaki what-"

"Shhh" He pressed one of his long slender fingers to her lips "You need not say anything my princess." He wrapped a firm arm around her waist and snapped his fingers. Suddenly Honey came in dressed as a unicorn carrying a tray with a half circle of cupcakes.

"Hi Ri-Chan I'm a unicorn did you recognize me?" He giggled holing out the cupcakes "We made lemon cakes for you!"

"Guys that's really nice of you but-" before she could say anything there was a cupcake shoved in her mouth.

"Hush my dear…" Tamaki purred directly in her ear "We are you slaves!" he bowed to her "You are our princess tonight my dear."

"Where's Haruhi?" Rin looked around. Hoping the most sane host could provide her with some answers.

"Ah he's right over there my sweet." Tamaki purred pulling into a more snuggly hug resting his chin on her shoulder. He when sis he starts referring to Haruhi as a he in front of me? "Haruhi come over here!" Tamaki called.

"Hello miss…" Haruhi said awkwardly clearly uncomfortable. "Would you be interested in some lemon tea?" Haruhi smiled sheepishly as she held out a tray with a teased perched upon it.

"Or perhaps some lemon cupcakes?" Honey sempai offered holding out a lemon cupcake with pink frosting on it.

"Or some lemonade?" Kyouya asked as he poured some lemonade into a gold chalice.

"Or some lemons?" Mori asked holding a considerable amount of lemons in his arms.

"Or a lemon?" Tamaki held up a piece of fanfiction literature to her.

"OKAY I GET IT!" Rin shot up from her seat on Tamaki and balled her fists on the sides of her head in frustration. She took a deep breath and regained her composure "Ill make the freaking lemon bars tonight okay? For god's sake it's not like I cook in all my free time I have homework to do as well" Rin's brows furrowed.

"Wait…" The twins scratched their heads "what?!"

"All day you guys have been shoving food down my throat and I get it okay you want me to hurry up on the lemon bars I promise you could have just asked me you know…" she grumbled.

There was an exceptionally long pause before the twins spoke up "That's not it at all…"

"Then what is going on?!" Rin exclaimed gripping her beanie nervously "You guys are kinda freaking me out…"

"Isn't it obvious?" the twins suddenly came out both wearing gladiator armor?

"Were trying to help you relax…" Hikaru started

"Because you were stressing out about your presentation…" Kaoru followed

"My presentation?" Rin raised a brow and stood up "For biology class? That was yesterday…"

"…" everyone froze "WHAT?!" they all yelled simultaneously.

"Then why are you so upset?" Kaoru asked pulling off his gladiator helmet

"Yeah we've been trying to cheer you up all day…" Hikaru pulled off his helmet as well.

"By feeding me immense amounts of food?" Rin questioned. I could have sworn they were preparing me for some sacrifice. "Look I've just got a lot on my plate…" Rin picked up her bag and started for the door "I'm just one person you know… I can't do everything" Rin exited the host club leaving Tamaki repeating her words to himself.

"Just one…person?" Tamaki furrowed his brows "why didn't she say girl?" suddenly a light bulb went off in his head. "Pretending to be a guy all the time is diminishing her feminine spirit" Tamaki snapped his fingers "Hikaru Kaoru I need you to do something."

8888888888888888888888888888

"That was weird yesterday." Rin whispered to herself. She flipped open her phone and checked for messages…nothing. She sighed and snapped her phone shut. "I've just gotta push it aside for right now… if I keep slacking Kyouya will triple my debt." She pushed open the doors of the host club and gasped. Thousands of mannequins were sporadically placed throughout the room. Rin went wide eyed and dropped her bag. "What the…"

"Ri-chan!" Honey jumped from out of freaking nowhere and hugged her head. "Look at all these dresses! Aren't they pretty?"

"They…" Rin sniffed "They're gorgeous…"

"And the best part is you get to keep one!" Honey jumped down and pulled her into the sea of mannequins "There are lots of them!"

"I don't-" Rin was interrupted when the twins jumped out of nowhere with dresses in hand.

"You should try this one first Rin." Hikaru purred holding up a very scandalous black tight fitting short dress with fishnet tights.

"It would show off your womanly curves." Kaoru put an arm around her.

"No! Such things are not appropriate for my darling little girl!" Tamaki swooped in and picked up Rin. "Clearly my little girl would look stunning in this attire!" Tamaki held up a very poofy pink ball gown with white ribbons ALL over it.

"NO!" Honey shoved a white dress with a bunny on it and cover in sparkles. "Rin would look much cuter on her!"

"I believe this would suit the lady better." Kyouya held up a deep violet dress, very plain with a split up the leg.

"No." Mori grunted and held up a blue dress that looked similar to the one she wore at the crab dinner at the beach. "This one."

"How about this one?" Haruhi came out with a green dress in hand "It looks pretty comfortable."

"Wait!" Tamaki exclaimed snapping his fingers "I've got it!"

"Were finished!" the twins announced as they pushed Rin out of the dressing room and all the hosts gasped. Rin was wearing a long blue dress that showed her back and had white sparkles that spiraled around the dress and seemed to flow around her, paired with it was a white fedora with a white lace bow around the rim and sparkly strings hanging off the edges. Her hair adorned in a braid with a white ribbon weaved though it, you couldn't even see he bald spot, She looked like a fairy tail.

"You look so pretty." Honey glowed.

"Yeah." Mori grunted his eyes sparkling.

"You look really nice." Haruhi gave her thumbs up.

"You are truly a beautiful girl Rin." Tamaki purred and held a mirror in front of her. Rin went wide eyed as she saw her figure. She looked like someone else.

"Well what do you think?" the twins came to stand on either side of her. "You can wear it to your sister's wedding!"

A single sob escaped her lips as she crashed to the floor on her knees.

"R-Rin?" Tamaki called out to the girl crying on the ground.

"I-i-i-i-i-i-I c-c-c-c-c-cant w-w-w-w-w-wear it t-t-t-to th-th-the wed-d-ing!" she sobbed out the eyeliner and mascara that once adorned her eyes now making dirty rivers down her cheeks. "I-I'm n-n-n-n-not i-i-i- c-c-c-c-c-c-cant!"

Haruhi immediately pulled her off the ground and lead her into the changing room. "What's wrong?"

Rin was sobbing so bad she couldn't for words, and if she tried it came out as a blubbering mess. Haruhi helped her out of her dress and put her uniform back on and she was still sobbing.

"Rin please calm down what happened?" Haruhi tried but Rin continued crying "We were just trying to-"

Rin choked something out along the lines of sorry but continued blubbering.

"Are you ladies decent?" Tamaki called into the dressing room. "May we come in?"

"Tamaki- sempai" Haruhi sighed exasperated "I don't think that's-"

"Ri-chan?" Honey came in with Usa-chan in hand "we're sorry…we didn't mean to make you cry…" Honey pouted "We just wanted to make you feel pretty…" Honey held Usa-chan out to her "Do you wanna hold Usa-chan? He's sorry to"

Rin looked at the rabbit then back at Honey. She gently grabbed his shoulder and pulled him into a hug. "I'm s-s-s-s-orry." She choked out. "I didn't m-m-m-mean t-t-t-to I j-j-just…i-i-i-I the d-d-dress I'm I'm"

"It's okay Ri-chan." Honey hugged her back "You don't have to talk right now if you don want to. You can just cry if you want." Rin nodded and tucked her head into Honey's shoulder and sobbed quietly while Haruhi rubbed her back in a motherly way.

8888888888888888888888888888888888888888888

After Rin had eaten 4 slices of chocolate cake and a cup of chamomile tea with some chocolate milk that honey insisted she ate, Rin cleared her throat.

"I-I'm sorry you saw that." Rin grunted quite embarrassed "I thought I could hold it together..."

"It's alright my darling." Tamaki patted her head. "Never be embarrassed for showing your true feelings."

"If you don't mind us asking…" Kyouya inquired "Why would a dress make you burst into tears?"

"Yeah…I know its a little gaudy but I didn't think it was that ugly." The twins commented causing Rin to give a teeny tiny smirk.

"The dress was lovely…" Rin stated. "It reminded me of something though…"

"What did it remind you of?" Tamaki asked.

Rin pulled her knee's to her chest. "I think it would be easier to understand if I told you the whole story…"

8888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888

Oh my goodness okay I NEED you to tell me why you think Rin is crying? I REALLY WANNA KNOW WHAT YOU THINK! PWETTY PWEASE?! DO IT FOR USACHAN!

IT'S STILL NOT TOO LATE TO SUBMIT AN OC. I will pm you if I want to ask you something about them or for other reasons. And absolutely no superpowers please omg...
