Princess Pinch prt 3
Emmy and Elle’s Fairytale Ending
Story 9

The sound of grinding gears and static electricity filled the air.

“Ah right on time!” Tamaki grinned. “Kyoya…I promised Renge she could be your Sleeping Beauty today…and if that rumbling sound is correct…then….”

“I sense the sweet burns of spurned love!” A high pitched squealing voice echoed as a large cog rose from the dance room floor. “No need to worry…All you need is a little bitter sweet love love revenge to mend your wounds. Or, a touch of salt to really make them burn!!” Renge appeared in the center lounging across a chaise. “Either way it’s the perfect mix for  twist fairytale…or perhaps the best plot for a shoujo manga!” She sat up from the relax laying pose grinning down to Kyoya. “Shall we dance?”

Pushing up his glasses and knowing that if he refused would  it would only deduct from the profits they we trying to create, Kyoya extended his hand toward the elegantly over dressed blonde. “Of course my princess. I would only be honored to have you accompany me.” He added with a false smile.

A roar of cheers erupted from the guest as everyone seemed to be getting their happy endings. However the afternoon early evening was still young and one guest still had a confession to make.

“Tama-nii!” Emmy bounced over to her older male counter part. “Will you dance with me?” She twirled her toe on the ground with the cutest of mannerism. Tamaki couldn’t resist his cute daughters smile.

“Oh Emmy you have made your Daddy very happy!!” He squealed in delight almost jumping up and down. “You are so much nicer then your sister.” Tamaki tossed a glance toward  Haruhi whom was escorting a petite pixie haired girl about the floor.

“Why wouldn’t I want to dance with you Tama-nii?” Emmy asked with puppy eyes.  

“Oh Emmy! My heart beats with glee!!” Tamaki twirled her around the dance floor a few times before returning to the café and engaging with another Ouran princess in dance.

“That was fun!” Emmy beamed bouncing back over to Adri. “Are you not melty anymore?”

“I…I…I…K-k-issed...”Adri only managed to stammer then breathed a ragged breath to compose herself. “I am still melty on the inside…but I got a job to do!” She stood putting on her best game face, however she walked in a floating manner with the biggest of smiles upon her face. ‘If I don’t see him or interact with him the rest of the night I will be fine!...I just hope it wasn’t just a dream!’

“Emmy-san…” A deep dark voice called out to her.

“Umehito!” She beamed holding up her Puppet. “Will you join me for tea?”

“I would be honored…perhaps we can discuss the dark arts of black magic and music?!” He spoke a bit excitedly that his cloak fell revealing his golden lockes of hair.

“That would be wonderful! “ She giggled and blushed. ‘Ever sense I went to the occult wedding it seems like me and Umehito are getting closer…but I wonder does he really like me or am I just being like tama-nii?’

Nekozawa-san walked ahead of Emmy guiding her to their usual table in a corner. It was tucked away and seemed a bit more private as so the two could discuss the occult club openly with out terrifying any of the other guest. As they spoke the two seemed to inch closer to each other as they begin to be absorbed into their own world.

“Aww! “ Jenny smiled looking over her shoulder to Emmy and Nekozawa from the couch she and Kaoru were perched. “Aren’t they cute?”

“Cute?”Kaoru raised an eye brow to his pigtailed prize of the evening. “I was thinking more along the lines of creepy?”

“Kaoru Hitachiin, do not make me take back my words…” She gave him the evil eye jokingly. “I think it’s cute they only see each other in a room full of people. I hope I can find a guy who thinks of me like that!”

“What’s that supposed to mean?!” Kaoru  leaned away from Jenny to read her full body language. ’Is she really that dense? What am I dog meat? I am right here! ‘

“Why are you acting so defensely!!?” Jenny arched her eye brow. “I am just saying that someday I hope to find a guy who can devote his whole self to me as I can to him. I want a love like that!”

“You read too much shoujo manga.” Kaoru clicked his tongue against his teeth. “Maybe you need to read a little more and get to the part about the guy who’s always been in front of the girl and she never notices.”

“WHAT?!” Jenny pursed her lips and crossed her arms. “You are so mean Hitachiin…I don’t think I wanna talk to you right now.” She turned her back on him in a huff.

“FINE!” Hikaru turned his back to her crossing his arms only to sneak a peek to see if Jenny would turn.

“Are they at it again?” Elle shook her head as she walked with Hikaru back toward where they left Kasanoda.

“Who knows?! With those two it’s like a game of cat and mouse…only they reverse roles once in a while.” Hikaru shrugged. “Well let’s return you before Casanova becomes a pumpkin!?”

Elle giggled placing her hand on Hikaru’s shoulder. “Oi Hitachiin. I am not Cinderella you know.”

“Nah…she has smaller feet and she’s not a tree…” He flinched waiting for the playful punch she usually threw for his comments.

“Listen here Frog boy…”Elle cut her eyes to the honey eyed twin. “With that attitude it would be a miracle before you become a prince!!” She smirked lightly punching his arm.

“Fair enough…fair enough…”Hikaru paused glancing around the room. “Ah… There is Mr. Scary Face now.”

Elle blushed glancing in Kasanoda’s direction. “Don’t be like that Hikaru…” she spoke in a more softer serious tone.

“My. My. Whats this? You got a fever?” Hikaru poked her cheek jesting at her.

“Stop it!” brushing her hand a way she giggled. “You’ll only make it worse!”

“Pbbt! I doubt it! You are already as red as a cherry!” Hikaru grinned.

“You are not helping!!” Elle warned.

“Nah…it’s a good thing. He is a nice guy, about time he gets himself a nice girl!” He elbowed Elle in the side. “To bad your mean!”

“What!” She stopped in her tracks. “I am nice… just not to you at times!”

“Oh… I guess that’s right!” Hikaru winked. “No wonder we get along!?” He slid his arm around Elle’s waist pushing her forward. “Oi…he looks a bit nervous…”

It was true Kasanoda seemed to be talking to himself and making the strangest of faces anyone had seen. He continued to move his lips and seemed to be staring at the floor until Elle’s shoes made Clicking noise distracting him.

“Uh…Elle…I..um..”Kasanoda blushed.

“Well it looks like its my cue to go!” Hikaru pushed Elle closer to Kasanoda then lowered his head over her shoulder. “Looks like you kids have lots to talk about!! Have fun now!” With that he patted Elle on the back and walked away smiling over his shoulder. Elle was blushing staring at her toes as Kasanoda scratched the back of his head with an equally red face.

“Whats Elle-chan talking to Casanova about?” Honey bounced up next to Hikaru.

“I think he is going to ask her out.”

“Oh…is Hika-chan okay with that?” Honey beamed up his innocent eyes.

“Yeah…why wouldn’t I be?” Hikaru gave a puzzled look.

“Well Usa-chan and I thought that Hika-chan liked Elle?” Honey pouted.

“I do like Elle.” Hikaru raised an eyebrow. “We’re good friends. I am happy for her!”

“Oh…”Honey looked sad for a moment. “Well if Hika-chan is fine with it so am I!”

Hikaru laughed and looked about the room. Mori was catching glimpses of Adri from a far and would start to blush if their gaze met. Jenny and Kaoru were in their usual state of interaction. Kyoya looked bored listening to Renge rattle on about how he looks like her prince. Emmy was nestled away in a coner talking with Nekozawa. Tamaki was pouting as usual because Haruhi said something to upset him. Elle was probably going to end up with a date. ’What a day….its never boring around here is it?’ Hikaru thought to himself.   ‘I wonder what tomorrow will bring?’
