5/21/18 - Hey y'all! I remembered that this fic exists and yeah its a bit antiquated, but it's still pretty interesting! So, I polished it up a bit now that I'm older haha. It's basically the same story, so if you've already read it, then don't worry about it!

The Ouran High School Host Club was not originally planning on taking a vacation in the Arctic. However, Tamaki wanted to see two things in the Arctic: the Northern Lights and penguins. (A/N: There are no penguins in the Arctic).

Presently, Haruhi was running away from the host club, more specifically, Tamaki. The reason? "Haruhi, you need to wear this warm and fuzzy dress! You would look so cute in it!"

"I don't wear dresses, and that dress is no exception!"

So Haruhi ran into a random building, and burst into a random room. Tamaki ran in after her yelling, "Haruhi!" loudly and annoyingly while twirling her around in a death hug. The remaining host club members ran in after them and Mori pried Haruhi out of Tamaki's grip. Honey asked, "Are you okay, Haru-chan?" Then the host club finally noticed that the room they burst into was already occupied. Cue awkward silence. The two groups of people stared at each other.

~xxx~

Tamaki walked over to Liechtenstein and held out a rose (where did he get that?) towards her, smiling gallantly at the young girl. Switzerland, being the overprotective big brother that he is, aimed his gun at Tamaki's face, glaring. Tamaki just stood there, frozen and internally panicking. The twins had to drag Tamaki away from the scene.

"Bloody hell, there's another France…"

"Yes, I am half French," Tamaki replied, missing the point. France laughed.

"Ohonhonhonhon, maybe we can team up to spread love to-"

"Oh no you don't, you bloody frog!"

"You can't stop me, black sheep of Europe!"

"Why you-" Pretty soon the two were at each other's throats like usual. Meanwhile, Hikaru and Kaoru were scheming about how to prank their newest target.

"Hey, you!"

Italy looked up from his drawing (he knew he should have been taking notes on the meeting, but still…) to see the twins pointing at him. He looked up.

The identical twins smirked. "Want to play a game?"

Italy beamed. "I like games! Yeah, let's play!"

"All right," the twins donned hats and posed identically. "Let's play the 'Which one is Hikaru game!'"

Italy watched the synchronized boys in wonder. "Ve~ how do I play?"

"You just have to guess…"

"…which one of us is Hikaru!"

"Oh, okay! Um…um... uh…" Italy started to panic; they looked so similar! "Um…uh…him!" He pointed to the one on the right.

"Uh oh, you got it wrong~!" The twins laughed. "Try again!"

Italy, figuring out that they did not switch positions after his first guess, beamed. "Oh, so it's you!" he exclaimed, pointing at the other twin.

"Uh oh, you got it wrong~!" the twins sang. They laughed again, almost mockingly this time.

"Wh-what? But..." Italy's eyes welled up with tears, which started to spill over onto his cheeks.

Across the room, Romano was busy warding off Spain's 'unwanted' affection. Then, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed his brother sobbing and the two twins laughing at him. He immediately got angry.

"What do you think you bastards are doing to my fratello!" he yelled running towards them.

Hikaru and Kaoru cocked their heads. "Fratello?"

But before they could ponder things further, Kaoru got a head-butt to the stomach, courtesy of Romano.

"Kaoru!" Hikaru cried, running over to his twin. Faces one inch apart from each other's, Hikaru over Kaoru, Kaoru's tears dripping from his face, Hikaru asked, "Kaoru! Are you ok!?"

Romano and Italy (who still had tears running down his face) confusedly watched the twins while listening to the dramatic music that suddenly started playing from thin air. Romano's face soon settled into its usual scowl. "What the hell? Are you twin bastards dating or something?" Cue (rather loud) record scratch.

Haruhi walked by. "Well..."

Hikaru and Kaoru and Romano blinked. "Che," Romano commented. "Those twin bastards really are pathetic, aren't they?"

Hikaru yelled and tackled Romano, which started a bit of a scuffle. The fighters managed to not only punch and kick each other, but they managed to throw random objects, including the cups of water resting on the meeting table. As you may guess, not all of the projectiles hit their intended targets. Meaning, some hit other nations, which resulted in other fights. For example, an eraser would sail and hit Turkey on the side of his head, Turkey would think Greece threw it, Turkey yells at Greece, Greece yells at Turkey, Turkey yells back, the yelling match starts, they go for each other's throats, and Japan is left trying in vain to stop them from killing each other. The fact that England and France were fighting in almost the exact same way didn't help either.

While these events were taking place, Tamaki spotted Ukraine hovering near the far wall, away from the scuffles. He immediately ran over and pulled the same schtick as before, handing her a rose with a disarming smile. Ukraine accepted the offering, flustered but a bit flattered.

Suddenly, the temperature of the room dropped at least ten degrees. Russia appeared behind Tamaki, creepy aura, pickax, faucet pipe, and all.

"You should stay away from my older sister, da?

Tamaki paled. "Ah…I'm sure that this is one big misunderstand-" he bolted, and unfortunately for him, Russia was right behind, weapons at the ready. Tamaki ran and hid behind Kyouya. "Help me!"

Kyouya simply stepped away to the other side of Germany and resumed their conversation about how stupid and idiotic some of their acquaintances and friends are (i.e. Tamaki and Italy). Tamaki kept running, sneezing once or twice (or ten times).

Honey and Mori were chatting, or rather Honey was rambling and Mori was quietly listening, when Finland walked up to Honey "Hello, what's your name? Mine's….Tino!"

"Hi I'm Honey and I like cake do you like cake I have chocolate and strawberry and vanilla and more chocolate and chocolate with strawberries on top! Do you want some cake?"

Finland smiled. "I'll have the vanilla cake then."

As Finland and Honey bonded over cake, Sweden and Mori stood next to each other, watching their charges. Mori turned to Sweden. "Hi."

"Hi."

"…" Mori replied.

"Hello!" Finland interjected awkwardly.

As the quartet's discussion became longer, the fighting around them continued to intensify by the minute. Germany found it harder and harder to concentrate on his and Kyouya's conversation. Finally, the noise and chaos level reached an all-time high, and Germany couldn't take it anymore.

"EVERYONE SHUT UP!" He yelled. Kyouya looked at Germany with an expression that clearly said, "That was my ear." Germany's rant continued, getting louder by the second. Everyone stopped, surprised (including Russia, which allowed Tamaki to run away and hide). The rant went on for what seemed like hours.

"Doitsu~," Italy interrupted. "Don't be so upset! Do you want some pasta~?" He held up a plate of spaghetti to Germany's face.

As Germany turned to yell at Italy for interrupting him, Haruhi spoke up. "Hey, your name is Germany? That's a strange name..."

The nations in the room froze in alarm. "Oh, it's...it's only a nickname, aru," China quickly said, attempting to cover for Italy's slip up.

Unfortunately, being the oblivious idiot that he was, America, not hearing China's response, gave one of his own. "Hey, what kind of nation doesn't go by their name?" All the nations nearest to him turned and smacked him upside the head. America fell over, in pain.

Honey blinked. "Why did he say nation?" he asked.

"Well," England sighed, giving up hope that their secret could remain undiscovered, "We are the personifications of the Axis Powers, Allied Forces, and a bunch of other countries in the world."

"Oh. So, who's who?"

An "I'M THE HERO!" came from across the room.

"Shut up America!" England yelled back. Germany sighed.

"Ask as you walk around; the chaos is returning." Honey nodded, smiling.

"What are you kids even doing here, aru? Shouldn't you be in school?" China asked.

"We are students who attend Ouran Academy," Kyouya explained. "School has let out for the summer and Tamaki here," he gestured vaguely to where Tamaki was crouching behind a chair, "wanted to spend some of our summer break looking for the Northern Lights and penguins."

Canada walked up to Tamaki. "Um...there aren't any penguins in the Arctic...you're better off looking somewhere else..."

Tamaki didn't hear him. Instead, he dashed off to accost a nearby Hungary, leaving Canada standing there, ignored once again.

"Who are you?" asked Kumajiro.

"I'm Canada..."

Russia moved to stand in front of Tamaki, stopping him from reaching Hungary. "Aren't you a stupid one! There are no penguins in the Arctic!" he said with a giggle, ignoring (or not seeing) Tamaki flinch back from him in fear. When Russia's words caught up with him though...

"There...there aren't any...?" Tamaki asked distantly.

"No?" "Nope!" "Of course not! Are you daft?" "Uh-uh..." About every nation in the room (even the ones that were currently fighting) simultaneously confirmed what Russia just said. Tamaki teared up and ran off to mope in his emo-corner.

From his emo-corner, he looked up at Kyouya with puppy-dog eyes. "But-but Kyouya, you-you-you-penguins!"

"Tamaki, I told you no such thing," Kyouya said, amused, not even looking up from writing in his signature black notebook.

~CUE KYOUYA FLASHBACK~

The Host Club was sitting in the 'abandoned' music room three at Ouran Academy. Honey was napping, Mori watching Honey, Haruhi was doing her math homework, Kyouya was writing (as usual) in his black notebook, and the twins were…playing tic-tac-toe? Anyway….

Tamaki was sitting in a chair, looking out the window, bored because he had no idea what he was going to waste his summer doing. He wanted a Host Club field trip again (So he didn't have to leave Haruhi behind…). Suddenly, he bolted upright and leapt out of his chair, running over to the table where Kyouya was sitting, all alone, set off from the world, in peace.

"Mommy, I have the perfect idea for a family vacation. Including the neighbors!" Tamaki cried. "Oh really, Daddy? Where might this trip be?" Kyouya asked, not looking up. And how much is it going to cost this time?

"The Arctic Circle!" Tamaki cried happily.

Kyouya looked up at Tamaki. He made the mistake of asking, "And why would the Host Club be taking their summer vacation in the Arctic Circle?"

"Because it is the perfect place to be! I mean, it has the Northern Lights and penguins!" Tamaki cried loudly.

"Boss, are you trying to wake up Honey?" Hikaru and Kaoru asked simultaneously, making Tamaki quiet down a decibel or two.

"But Tamaki, the Aurora Borealis, aka the Northern Lights, is better seen in the winter, and besides, there are no-" he suddenly sighed loudly, pushing his glasses up tiredly. "Oh, alright. To the Arctic we shall go."

~END KYOUYA FLASHBACK~

"So, no, there are no penguins in the Arctic..."

Tamaki dejectedly moped in his emo-corner.

"The awesome me will-"

"Do nothing!" Germany interjected. "Stay there, and don't cause trouble."

"But-"

"No."

Prussia joined Tamaki in his emo-corner. There, they had a short discussion.

"Oi! Guess what, Spain! The awesome me has a new friend for our trio!"

France sighed. "Well, I suppose we're not a trio anymore..."

"Hey," Haruhi said, catching Tamaki's attention, "If there are no penguins and no Northern Lights, then we need to go." The host club regrouped back by the door. "Thank you for not kicking us out," Kyouya called out as they left.

The conference room was silent for a minute or two.

"Ouran…Academy?" Japan broke the silence.

"Can we visit? Please?" America begged. France shrugged.

"I guess...if we ever go to Japan…"
