Amei carefully balanced a large stack of Tupperware (Haruhi introduced her to them, she's such a godsend) full of desserts she'd made the night before on her own, toward the Host Club.

"Need some help with that?" two synchronized voices asked from behind her.

"Oh, sure! Thank you," she smiled politely

One twin walked by her left, while the other walked to her right.

"These look really good, Hinode-senpai," a voice said from her left.

"Thank you, Kaoru."

His brows furrowed for a moment before he brushed it off as Amei making a guess.

He pointed to a blue cake, "What's this one called?"

She glanced at where he pointed, "Hm–? Oh, that's something I've been practicing, blue angel cake. I added natural color and flavoring from blueberries. Usually, they make angel cake plainer than I'd like, so I'm attempting my own recipe."

"How about this one?" Hikaru pointed to the second container in his stack, a pink cake.

"That is a pink velvet buttermilk cake," she smiled.

"These look professional, Senpai," they complemented in unison.

"Thanks, I'm glad you think so. My father inspires me to bake—I can take those so you can open the door."

Kaoru shook his head, "We'll take them, can't have a lady carrying all the weight, we offered to help anyway."

She gave him a bright smile, "Thanks."

"Uh...yeah. S-sure thing."

As she opened the door to be greeted by a jungle.

She blinked, as the brothers passed her by, "Um...why?"

"It's today's theme," Hikaru answered as they left for the storage room for food.

"But this is dramatic!"

Haruhi opened the door, doing her best to be on time only to be greeted by a jungle.

"What's this? Where am I?"

The shirtless hosts all stood in their positions in front of the door, dressed in tribal garbs.

Amei stood next to them, also in a tribal uniform with a dress of beautiful patterns, golden jewelry, and neat sandals. She possessed a ponytail but refused to move her bangs that covered her eyes and nose. She held a silver tray with decorative tassels on the rim.

"Welcome!"

"You finally made it, Haruhi. You're so late," the twins complained in unison.

"I'm surprised I was earlier than you," Amei shrugged, "But I'm usually early to almost everything."

Haruhi took out a hand calendar, "I could be wrong but my calendar says it's still early spring."

"Huddling under a Kotatsu table fearing the cold is nonsense!" Tamaki dramatically spoke, Honey flying in the background, "And besides the heating system we have is the best."

"Do you have a problem with the way we run our club, Haruhi? Be careful what you say. You owe us eight million yen, remember?" Kyoya warned.

"Must you always threaten Haruhi about that vase? That seems to be a talent of yours."

"Don't be a hypocrite, Hinode-senpai. Don't think I didn't notice you with Miss Ayanokoji the other day."

She stiffened, "T-That's different..."
