Title: From Drag King to Prom Queen in 30 Days

Author: Insane Elven Pirate

I think Haruhi may be a little out of character. I promise to try harder in later chapters. Enjoy.

The halls of Ouran High School buzzed with excitement. Today was the day that the nominees for Prom King and Queen would be announced. Everyone knew that the members of the host club would be elected and that the winner for the King would most likely be Tamaki Suoh, but who would be his queen? A gaggle (Ha. Gaggle. ) of chattering girls was gathered around the bulletin board, waiting for the student council president to post the list of nominees.

"Look! There he is!" some girl cried, alerting everyone to the approach of the president. The girls all become deathly quiet as he neared the board. The crowd slowly parted, allowing the president to get through. The president reached into his pocket for the thumbtack and found that it was not there. A confused look crossed his face as he began searching for it in his other pockets. A murmur went through the crowd surrounding him that sounded much like the buzz of a swarm of angry hornets. The president sweat dropped and began searching through his pockets faster as the murmur grew louder. Finally, he caught sight of the thumbtack lying to the ground. "Heh heh. Here it is." He laughed nervously as he picked it up. The buzz did not lessen, however, so he stuck the piece of paper to the bulletin and quickly pinned it down. Then, he began to scurry away as fast as possibly, but unfortunately unsuccessful, as he was trampled by a mob of girls rushing to read the list.

Meanwhile, Haruhi Fujioka was on her way to her next class. She was starting to feel slightly uncomfortable about the way people were staring at her, guys quickly looking away and trying to pretend that hadn't been looking, and girls giggling between themselves when they caught her looking. She caught hushed whispers from several girls saying things like 'He would look so adorable in a dress!'. However, she didn't think too much of them until two girls that were in her class, and who often nominated her as their host came up to her.

"Hi Haruhi!" The first one exclaimed. "We just wanted to say congratulations, and, um, we just thought that maybe your dress should be pink."

"Yeah!" The second one piped up. "Pink would look so good on you."

Haruhi's expression turned to one of complete confusion. "Uh…?" She mumbled as the two girls ran off in fits of giggles and squeals of delight. She was about to confront someone and ask them what this was all about when the twins, Hikaru, and Kaoru Hitachiin stepped in her path.

"Morning Haruhi!" They chorused in unison, looks of pure glee on their faces.

"Haruhi, have you checked the list of the prom king and queen nominees yet?" Hikaru asked, draping an arm over her shoulder, as a sly look replaced the one of glee upon his face.

"No." Haruhi answered. "I don't really care for that sort of stuff."

Kaoru draped his arm over her other shoulder. "Ah, but Haruhi! You've been nominated! Don't you want to see who your competition is?"

The twins began to steer her in the direction of the bulletin board with the list of nominees while Haruhi responded. "No. I don't care if I win or lose."

The twins just smirked as they stopped in front of the crowd of girls still gathered around the bulletin board.

"Go ahead." Hikaru crooned.

"Just a peak." That was Kaoru.

The twins pushed her towards the crowd, and Haruhi sighed. She might as well take a look to appease them. She turned around and gave them a small glare before making her way through the crowd. "Excuse me. Pardon me. Oops. Sorry."

The girls parted as they noticed her coming. "Look! There he is!" They cried. Haruhi finally made it through to the front of the crowd and took a loom at the list. There were about ten nominees including, Hikaru and Kaoru, Hunny, Mori, Tamaki, and Kyouya. But Haruhi's name was not on the list.

'I guess they were wrong. What a waste of time.' Haruhi was about to turn around and make her way back out of the crowd when she saw it. There, on the bottom of the list of nominees for prom queen, was her name.

She instantly knew who must be responsible for this. She turned around, and was about to make her way out of the crowd so she could yell at the twins, when she was instantly crowded by a swarm of girls.

"Congratulations, Haruhi!"

"You've got my vote!"

"What's your dress gonna look like?"

"You'll be so CUTE!"

"Will you dance with all the guys!"

This kept on until the warning bell for class to start rang and Haruhi was freed so she could get to class. Haruhi would have to wait until lunch to tell the twins off, as the five minutes they has between classes was not an adequate amount of time for the scolding she intended to give them.

Haruhi finally caught up with Hikaru and Kaoru in the lunchroom. The two were sitting down with their identical lunches at an empty table. Haruhi walked up to them and stood over them with her arms crossed. The twins slowly looked up at her.

"...What?"

Haruhi was about to respond when a small, blonde haired boy ran up to her and hugged her from behind. "Haru-chan! Congratulations on the nomination." Mori, who had followed him, nodded in agreement. "Heeey! You know what? We should have a cake to celebrate! We could have strawberry cake, or vanilla cake, or chocolate cake, or marble…" Hunny began to ramble on about different kinds of cakes, and Haruhi was about to go back to trying to demand why the twins had to nominate her for prom queen, when another interruption entered the scene.

"Haruhi! Haruhi!" Tamaki Suoh cried. "The talk about you running for Prom Queen is circulating around the school. I hear that more that half the student body is planning to vote for you! We'll be King and Queen together! Just me and my Haruhi!" Tamaki drifted into his fantasy Haruhi/Tamaki fantasy world, but was quickly snagged out of it by Hikaru's voice.

"Now hold on just a minute. What makes you so sure you'll be King?"

"Yeah!" Kaoru chimed in. "Before we didn't really care if we lost, but now that our nomination of Haruhi for queen has been accepted, maybe we want to be king!"

"Oh forget it. It's just one small dance. It can't be too bad. I'm going to eat my lunch" Haruhi muttered.

Kyouya spoke up. "That's how it would be done at a normal school. Here at Ouran the school pays for a dinner and a romantic night out for the winners of the king and queen."

Haruhi growled. Damn rich bastards.

"You can't both be Prom King!" Tamaki yelled, his arms flailing.

"Sure we can. You'll see." The twins replied, sticking their tongues out at Tamaki.

"Oh! I wanna go on a date with Haru-chan!" Hunny cried. "Taka-chan! Let's both try to win Prom King this year! That year we can both go on a date with Haru-chan, Ok?"

Mori nodded silently in agreement.

"But-but- You can't both go on a date with Haruhi!" Tamaki sputtered.

"But Hika-chan and Kaoru-chan are doing it!"

"Yes." Mori said.

"But… But.. Mother! Tell them they can't!" Tamaki wailed, clinging to Kyouya's arm. Kyouya glared down at Tamaki and the scared Prince let go.

"Well, them running against you, WOULD provide some excitement to an otherwise dull race." Tamaki stared at Kyouya , his moth hanging open, but no words coming out while the twins grinned smugly, hunny beamed proudly, and Mori just stood there. "And, to add even more incentive, I'll chip in a little prize of my own. Whomever wins Prom King will also win these pictures of Haruhi in a pink dress." Kyouya declared, holding said pictures up.

"Where did you get those?" Haruhi demanded.

The twins gave a thumbs up in acceptance. "Very well! It's settled. The contest to win a date with Haruhi begins!"
