Preface
(This fic takes place during Tamaki's first year, Poppy has not become queen yet. They are both in high school.)

Tamaki opened the door to the host club, he felt a gentle breeze graze his cheeks. It was his first year as the host club president. The responsibilities felt endless. He starts his tasks for the day by refilling the premium coffee beans, crushing the beans was the gruesome part. His gentle frame could barely crush the beans, the former president steps in and completes the rest of his tasks. Tamaki sulked knowing he would be on probation soon if he couldn't step up. The president speaks,

"Tamaki, do you understand what it takes to earn this position? If you can't keep up you will be terminated. Go home now..."

Tamaki walks home in silence, he opens his bedroom door and sighs. He begins to hum a sweet melody.

"Nobody even understands, this isn't truly me! I'm meant to sing! I only attend the host club because mom said I was meant to shine."

"Hello darkness my old friend."

A glow emerges from the dark corner.

"I noticed you're looking down, do you wanna hear a secret? (Poppy giggles)

"I see your true colors, let them show"

(Tamaki's eyes light up)

"Do you really?

Poppy looks at Tamaki and motions to him that she wants to be picked up. Tamaki picks up Poppy and she kisses his cheek. Tamaki blushes. A similar melody fills the air, streams of glitter and confetti fills the room. Tamaki looks down.

"What happened to me!?"

He has shrunk down to 2 inches tall, his hair is a pale yellow, his skin is a shimmery pink. He effortlessly sings a b#6.

"Who even are you?"

"I'm Poppy, and you?"

"I'm Tamaki, the presi-"
"-a member of the Ouran High School Host Club."

Poppy flashes a quick frown.

"Last time I heard, You're the president of the Host Club"

Tamaki glances over to Poppy and begins to tear up.

"Poppy, I- I'm trying so hard, I just can't seem to get it!"

Poppy wraps her arms around Tamaki, he is surrounded by warmth. She holds his hands.

"Tamaki, I know just what you need, let's visit the Host troll!"

She drags him towards the Troll Kingdom. They get tickets for the funny bunny train, headed one way to Funky town. They step onto the train. Poppy and Tamaki sit near a window.
