"I think we're done with it!" Tamaki cheers.

I shyly smile and nod my head.

"What's wrong?" He asks.

I shake my head, "No, I'm just terrified. It seems like whenever I perform, something bad happens to me. I don't know if it's my anxiety getting out of hand again or if it's just bad luck? Or even both."

Tamaki puts his hand on top of mine, "Well, whatever happens, I'll be right by your side."

I peck his cheek and smile, "You're the best."

He blushes, "I know I am."

It is now the big performance day. Everyone from my school is here, even my teachers. There are also some other people that are from different schools as well. The twins look me up and down and say, "That's what you're wearing?"

I was wearing a plain white dress that came down to my knees, "Yes..."

"Honey, that's not going to work?" Kaoru says.

"Let's get you out of those rags before Tamaki sees you." They both push me towards the Music Room. Hikaru brings out a bunch of dresses from who knows where.

"Why do you guys have so many dresses in here?" I ask.

"To be honest, I don't really know. The author just decided to write that part in." The twins look at each other and shrug.

I go into the dressing room and put on the first dress they give me. It has a lot of frills and is pretty ugly, in my opinion.

"What do you think?" Hikaru grins.

"I feel like a poodle." I laugh.

"NEXT! GIVE US LESS FRILLS! MORE GLITTER!" Hikaru yells at his brother.

The next dress I try on his full of glitter and is getting everywhere. I really don't like too much glitter.

"Oooo! Sparkly!" Kaoru stares in awe.

"Uhm...I think I have glitter in my eye. Please, next dress." I exclaim.

Kaoru brings out another dress that is really long. Not like the pretty long dresses, but the dress that makes you look like a toddler dressing up in their mother's clothes.

"This is gross....I don't like it...." I say.

I see a dress on the rack that pops out at me. It is really pretty and glamorous.

"How about that one?" I point to it.

"That one? That's ugly." Hikaru looks at it in disgust.

"Yeah." Kaoru agrees.

"All the dresses you two picked out were ugly! We're running out of options here, guys. Just hand me the dress." I sigh.

"Fine, but don't say we didn't warn you." They say nonchalantly.

I go back to the room and quickly put on the beautiful dress and stare at myself in the mirror. I look like a princess. Since I didn't get a chance to do my makeup, I decide to take it out of my bag and quickly put on some eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara, and (f/c) lipstick.

I walk out of the dressing room and see the twins. Both of them stared at me in shock.

"How did that happen? You look beautiful!" Kaoru compliments me.

"I know." I smirk.

Hikaru says, "Looks like Tamaki is rubbing off on you."

I am escorted by Hikaru and Kaoru.

"Where's Tamaki?" I ask them.

"I should we know?" They mutter.

They are swept away by a bunch of fangirls and I decide to go sit at a table and review my lyrics. I take out my (f/c) notebook and study the words on the page.

"Ugh, that's not right!" I say as I pull out my pen from my purse.

My pen then falls off of the table and onto the floor because I am such a klutz. I try to bend down to pick it up, but it's pretty difficult to do that in this dress. While I struggle to pick it up, a hand reaches down and grabs it.

"Is this what you were looking for?" A smooth voice says.

I look up and see my boyfriend in a light tuxedo. He looks quite handsome.

"Tamaki!" I stand up and kiss him.

"(Y/n)! You're the most beautiful woman I've ever laid my eyes upon." He blushes.

"I know." I laugh.

"Of course you do."

The music stops and we see Kyoya walk up on the platform where the band is.

"Now, our very own King and Queen will be dancing to this classical piece."
Kyoya announces.

The spotlight shines on Tamaki and me. We both look at each other and smile.

"May I have this dance, (y/n)?" He reaches for my hand.

"Of course." I take his hand.

We both slow dance to the music. I can hear a whole bunch of fangirls 'awhing' or making snarky comments toward me. Before, I would've taken that to heart, but I know they are just jealous of me. Now, I'm just glad to be dancing with Tamaki. I look up to him and smile. It feels as if we are the only ones in the room. We glide across the room and he spins me around. The song ends and everyone claps.

"You dance beautifully, (y/n)." Tamaki whispers.

"I try my best." I blush.
