Americans in Ouran

Ch 1

It was an ordinary day at the host club. They'd just ended activities for the day and Kyouya was counting up the profits for the day. Honey-senpai was eating cake with Usa-Chan, Mori-senpai not too far away. Tamaki was scolding the twins for harassing Haruhi, and Haruhi herself was staring absently out the window.

"Haru-Chan, is something wrong? You haven't said much all day!" Honey exclaimed looking over at Haruhi. She glanced up, startled out of her thoughts. Tamaki and the twins stopped fighting and looked up too, as did Kyouya.

"Nothings wrong, I'm just waiting for someone." She said going back to staring out the window.

"Who?" Nearly all the hosts asked at once.

"My cousin. She's going to be the foreign exchange student from America for this year." Haruhi explained.

"Foreign exchange? Kyouya, did you know anything about this?" Tamaki asked. Kyouya nodded.

"There will be two foreign exchange students this year, Ariane Whitson and Isabelle Thomas. Although I had no idea one of them would be Haruhi's cousin." He replied. Haruhi shrugged.

"Ariane was supposed to be here ten minutes ago so I could show her around a bit before tomorrow. I haven't seen her since before my mom died, so I have no idea what to expect. I guess I'mn just a little nervous." Haruhi said, still staring out the window. Suddenly the door opened, and someone came in.

"I'm sorry to interrupt, but is there a Haruhi Fujioka in here? I can't seem to find her." A girl's voice said. Haruhi's head snapped up to look at the new comer. The girl had raven black hair cut into a pixie cut, and warm brown eyes. She wore a t-shirt and jeans.

"Ariane?" Haruhi asked. The girl smiled.

"The one and only. Wow, you've changed a lot since we were kids, Haven't you?" She replied. Haruhi laughed.

"Speak for yourself! The only thing that hasn't changed about you is how skinny you are!" They laughed.

"so, you gonna introduce me to your friends, Haruhi?" Ariane asked. Haruhi smiled.

"This is the Ouran High School Host Club." Haruhi said. Ariane laughed.

"I thought this whole set-up was familiar! It's like the anime! Let me guess, the twins are Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin, the little blonde's Honey-senpai, the brunette beside him is Mori-senpai, the other brunette is Kyouya-senpai, and the other blonde is Tamaki-senpai." Ariane said with a grin. They all looked shocked. "Did I get something wrong?"

"No, you got everything right. It's just, how did you know our names?" Tamaki asked.

"It's like I said. It's like the anime, Ouran High School Host Club. Haven't you heard of it?" Ariane asked.

"No. But I know who might have." Kyouya answered. A whirring sound and a laugh was heard. Suddenly Renge appeared on her weird table thing.

"Well, I have to say, I never expected the anime to become this popular, but I'm not complaining." Renge said, unrepentant.

"Renge, you should've told us before making an anime about us!" Tamaki said, a little angry.

"Hey, it is pretty popular in the US, and the worst thing I've seen come out of it are a bunch of rabid fan-girls." Ariane piped up. "The best I've seen come from it are cosplayers doing tea parties at cons."

"See? No harm done to anyone." Renge said.

"Exactly!" Ariane agreed.

"People cosplay as us?" Tamaki asked.

"Yup, and you have no idea how hard it is to find decent Mori and Tamaki cosplayers, let me tell ya." She said in an annoyed voice. Haruhi facepalmed.

"Why do I get the feeling that you cosplay as one of us?" She asked.

"Because I do! I cosplay as you, Haruhi." Shocked looks all around.

"What?"

"Is that why your hair is so short?"

"Do any of your friends cosplay as us, too?"

"Wow! That's so cool, Ari-chan!"

"Whoa, there! One at a time! Yes, Tamaki, you heard me right. No Hikaru, my hair's short because I like it short and it's easier to practice karate with short hair. Yes, three of my friends also cosplay as you guys.Anything else?" Ariane asked. There was a collective no. "Good! Now, Haruhi needs to show me around really fast before we go home! So can I talk to you guys more tomorrow?"

"Of course you can, Princess. I look forward to it." Tamaki said, turning on his princely charm. The rest of the hosts nodded and called out they're own farewells, and the two girls were off.
