"Lacy."
Lacy turned and smiled at Kyoya as he approached her in the hallway.
"Would you like to walk with me?"
Lacy beamed and nodded as the pair turned and walked towards music room 3, easily falling into a light conversation until they reached the room to see Honey sparring with a kid that looked similar to him.
"Who's that?"
Lacy asked as they joined Haruhi, Tamaki, and the twins.
"Wow…It's been a while…They're really into it."
Tamaki stated while watching the pair.
"Couldn't they have chosen a better place to do this?"
Kyoya asked indifferently.
"Tamaki, Kyoya, how can you be so indifferent?!"
Haruhi practically yelled at them when suddenly the kid hit Honey with a sword, the kid tried to say he won only for Mori to point out that Honey won because the kids pants were pinned to the floor by shuriken. Honey got up and calmly walked over to the kid, who fell to his knees.
"I admit to my defeat!"
Honey just looked down at him.
"Yeah…you need to work harder!"
The boys cheered for Honey while Lacy and Haruhi looked confused.
"Hey! I'm completely lost here. Who is this Chika?"
Tamaki decided to answer the burning question.
"Can't you tell by their faces? He is Honey's younger brother. Yasuchika Haninozuka."
"Oh!"
The girls exclaimed as another kid yelled "Chika!" and ran up to the group and hit Chika with a bat.
"Yasuchika! How dare you skip club activities?!"
"Satoshi."
Mori stated simply catching the other kids' attention.
"Taka-bro! How's your day been? Are you going to the kendo club today?"
"And introducing Mori's younger brother."
Tamaki explained as the group finally moved into the music room to prepare for the day.
Lacy watched from a distance as the brothers chatted with the group, until Chika explained he didn't like sweets and Satoshi hit him with the bat again telling him not to disrespect his older brother.
"Oh boy."
Lacy giggled to herself as she half listened to the argument about how Chika couldn't be a spoiled brat but Honey was. Until Chika stated that Honey would never be the Heir to the Haninozuka Family. Looking up, Lacy sighed.
"Brothers."
She mumbled as Chika pointed out that Honey was asked to help another high school's karate club when he hadn't been in a karate class in a year and a half. Also explaining that it was a family rule to fight when they meet, explaining the fight the brothers had, while also calling Honey selfish for indulging in the things he enjoyed, and helping the karate club for fun, exclaiming loudly that Honey brought dishonor to the Haninozuka name. That's when Satoshi hit him with the bat again calling him an idiot and the two left to their own club.
"Honey? You okay?"
Lacy asked softly only for him to smile at her.
"It's okay! It was my mistake anyways…but I guess…this means Chika really does hate me now."
Tamaki broke the tension by asking Honey what they were going to do with all the cake and Honey running off screaming he would eat it. Haruhi and the twins approached Lacy.
"So that means Honey was a part of the karate club first."
Lacy started and Haruhi finished in thought.
"Why did he join the Host Club?"
The twins quickly jumped to answer their question.
"If you really want to know, we have to rewind the past a little bit."
Kaoru wrapped an arm around Lacy's shoulder while Hikaru wrapped an arm around Haruhi's shoulder.
"Actually, before the Host club began."
"Honey here was what we called the 'Demon Captain' of the karate club."
The pair launched into Honey's tale.
"Honey worked really hard doing everything in his power to avoid temptation, he gave up all kinds of sweet things he loved. He even sealed all the cute and fluffy things he owned. He tried his best to project a more manlier image. But all that hard work was painstakingly put to the test by all those who surrounded him. A secret fanclub for Honey was formed and Honey was the only person in the dark about this. And that is how the legend was created. Such a heart warming story!"
The twins broke into a fake cry as the cousins looked at each other unimpressed. As the twins finished explaining how Tamaki got Honey to join the club with a hand puppet and Honey quit the karate club and still trains at home. The twins asked if the cousins wanted to join the task to get the brothers to reconcile, Lacy quickly stated she was too busy and walked away with her laptop to sit across from Kyoya, who managed to get dragged into the 'task force'. As the group left Lacy let out a big sigh and clicked through her emails until a name popped up and her heart stopped.
"Maybe?"
With one click her heart beat harder as she quickly read the email before a giant smile graced her lips.
"I'm in."
She squealed with excitement as she reread the email.
"I'm actually in."
The email was from a recording company in the states that had been looking to get their start with a new star, and they had chosen Lacy and they wanted another song to add to her soon to be album.
"I can sing again, and make money again."
She continued to giggled to herself as she quickly wrote a reply and pulled out her headphones and a mic and hooked them into the laptop. Clicking through the music trying to find something she wanted to add to this album that would be released in a few months since the music was already edited and all the recording company had to do was edit her voice.
"Perfect."
She said happily while pulling up the programs she needed before the music filtered from her headset, her head bobbing to the beat before she started singing.

Hallelujah
I'm still here, still bringin' it to ya
Om like Buddha
Good girls know how
To give it hot to ya

I'm all fucked up in my
Sunday best
No walk of shame,
'Cause I love this dress
Hungover, heart of
Gold, holly mess

Doin' my best
Bitch, I'm blessed

Oh, if you couldn't tell
We can always find the trouble
We don't need no help
Singin'. Oh Mama raised me well
But I don't wanna go to heaven
Without raising hell.
Get it

She swung her head a little as the other artist's voice came in getting her hyped up before her next lyric.

Bounce it up and down
Where the good Lord split it

Hands up, witness
Solo cup full of holy spirits
Somethin' wicked
Speakin' in tongues and my blood-red lipstick
I'm all fucked up in my Sunday best
No walk of shame, 'cause I love this dress
Only God can judge this holy mess

Bitch I'm blessed

Oh, if you couldn't tell
We can always find the trouble
We don't need no help
Singin'. Oh Mama raised me well
But I don't wanna go to heaven
Without raising hell.
Get it

Ladies and gentlemen
Let's shake what the good Lord gave us

Aww dang, this that shit
Beat like this wanna shake my ooh

Aww dang, this that shit
Beat like this, haters, suck my ooh
Woo! Lord, feelin' it
Beat like this make me feel that power

Oh if you couldn't tell
We can always find the trouble
We don't need no help
Singin'. Oh Mama raised me well
But I don't wanna go to heaven
Without raising hell.

Can I get an Amen?
This is for the misfits of Creation
Take this as your holy validation
You don't need hide,
We're celebration'
This is our salvation

Lacy sat back and smiled as she replayed the song back and nodded her head to the beat just as the club was walking back in, Haruhi waved to get her attention that it was time to go home.
Lacy nodded and emailed her new label her new song before packing up.

"What's got you so excited?"
Haruhi asked, noticing how Lacy was bouncing as they walked.
"I got a very nice email today."
"Oh?"
Haruhi looked over at her and she finally burst into a giant smile.
"I have a record label again! This will be the first one in over a year! I can finally get my name back out there, go on tour, meet my fans. My future, my career, for the first time is under my control."
Lacy looked ahead with a look of determination on her face.
"And this time, my mother won't be able to touch my money or my career."
Haruhi smiled, knowing this was what Lacy wanted and would stand beside her and support her in the way her mother never did.

So what do we think?
See everyone next time!
