The Little Helper (Ouran High School)

Mini Story

"They'll be here in two hours, lets DO THIS!" shouted Tamaki. Andrea, Kyoya and Lani were on their way back from Africa. The guys wanted to throw a welcome back party and Hikaru wouldn't stop reminding then of how it turned out last time. "Stop it! That won't ever happen again now that my little girl is here!" the king marveled. "Tamaki calm down. I rather not burn down the club room" muttered Haruhi while she flipped through the magazine. "I'll help if there's cake!!" Honi grinned.

Tamaki grabbed both his hands and they hopped up and down. "Those two" the twins rolled their eyes. So the guys agreed to at least decorate with streamers and balloons. The tables were covered with bright tablecloths and Honi and Tamaki made their way to the baking club where the girls all agreed to help as long as they were invited. "You ladies are more than welcomed!" shouted Honi with a grin. The girls marveled at him. (Duh)

~.~ Andrea's POV ~.~

I grabbed my bags and let Lailani carry my purse and wear my sunglasses. "Mommy! I'm a superstar!!" she squealed. I laughed, "Yeah but you're not big as a super star as me!" I challenged. Kyoya held up his hands, "Yeah well neither of you can even compare to how much or a super star I am." he muttered and pushed up his glasses. Lailani stared then broke into a grin. I rolled my eyes as he put his arm around my wrist. We got a cab and directed the driver to the school.

Lani was as excited as she could be to see the guys again. She stood on her knees with her hands against the glass. "Lani, dear, put your seat belt on." I told her and finally got her settled down on the seat. She wouldn't stop jumping. "Daddy!" she called. "Hm?" Kyoya asked. She held up her hand, "There will be cake. Cake!!" she shouted.

Kyoya and I looked at each other, frowning. We had a weirdo. So we arrived at the castle of a school wich Lani already knew her way around. She hopped out the cab and I let her pay the driver, "Keep the change." she muttered and lead me to the entrance by the hand. We got in and went to the club room. I pulled the door handle. I frowned, "It won't budge." I noted.

Kyoya tried then sighed. "If you morons dont open the door I'll have to kick it down....again."

"Elsa!" Lani knocked the melody. I sighed and held down her hand with a smile. Honi ran up the steps with a cake over his head. "Tama-Chan! They're here early!" he announced. Tamaki ran up with a crowd of girls following. The baking club? "Dang it!" he snapped.

"SURPRISE!!" the crowd of girls shouted. "No not yet!" he sighed. Honi groaned in complaint and unlocked the door. We stood and stared into the room. I facepalmed. Haruhi laid on the ground wrapped up in streamers. "Mmmmff!!" she shouted and squirmed. The twins sat on either side of her with a roll of duck tape and a pair of scissors. They saw us standing and waiting and grinned, "Eh... Welcome back!" they both smiled. Mori blew a noise maker and handed Lani a hat.

We all stood silently but as soon as Lani laughed we couldn't help but laugh, too. Except for Haruhi. She didn't see what was so funny.

~.~ 10 minutes later ~.~

"Chocolate or vanilla?" Mori asked Lani. "Chocolate" she said in Spanish. Mori smiled and gave her a plate. The girls that had joined were asking me what Africa was like. I was happy to tell them about Joji and the soccer game. How simple it was to make them smile. I could be the best host here on a jiffy!

So we just talked and ate until our hearts content. But I never figured out why Haruhi was wrapped up in streamers. That's right. We never unwrapped her. Oh maybe I should go....
