Maddie was worried about him? That was surprising but it made him happy that she worried and he could feel his cheeks flush at this bit of information. "Aww, you worried about me? How sweet. Don't worry though, I promise to be careful but I do thank-you for letting me know about that engine. If it weren't for you, that engine would have blown and well...that wouldn't look good for business. That, and someone could have maybe gotten hurt and we don't want that. So...thanks Mads. Really." He said sheepishly before looking down at his filthy self. "I should probably go clean up. I can heat up the left over pasta for you afterwards. You didn't mention eating, I'm going to guess that you're probably hungry?"

Seeing as how lunch was almost over, Mia gathered up her things and looked at her schedule to figure out where her next class was located. As much as she didn't want to, she knew she'd have to ask someone for directions. Since she couldn't bring herself to ask a fellow student, she decided to ask a teacher. Now, if only she could find one.

"Takashi, will you help me too? Maybe you can help me convince her to come here with us. I mean, you're always looking at her so maybe you have a good plan?" He asked innocently.

The twins caught wind of this and chuckled. "My, My...Mori-senpai keeps looking at the new girl? I wonder why?" Hikaru teased. His brother only chuckled and shook his head. He knew Mori to be a very observant person. Maybe he already knew something about the new girl that none of them did. Kaoru was going to speak up again but at that time Alice was running off, out of the club. It left both twins and the rest of the members puzzled. "Alice!" Hikaru called out and ran after her. "Hikaru!" Kaoru called after his dear brother. "I'll be right back, I'm going to go check on her." Hikaru reassured and ran out of the room. "Alice wait!"

Kaneko smiled. Cold weather was always her favorite because the clothing was just really comfortable and pretty looking. She already had an outfit in mind. Nothing fancy. Well...she did have fancy clothing still but most of her clothes were clothes anyone could afford to buy. The pancakes were really good! It was funny, she never really was taught how to cook growing up. Her mother wasn't around after a few years and her father never cared enough to teach her. Everything she knew was self taught so yes, a lot of food was burned or just tasted really gross when she was starting out. But what mattered was that she kept trying. At least her father never made a fuss about her food. Maybe he knew that she was trying. "Is the food okay?" She asked Allen before taking another bite of her pancakes and drowning them back with a bit of tea after blowing on it first. It felt so warm going down.

Honey was ecstatic. He was going to get all the sweets he wanted! Now he was on a mission to find this girl and somehow lure her to follow him here. He looked to his bunny, Usa-chan. "Usa-chan, you're going to have to help me bring her here okay?" He asked his doll even though he didn't get an answer back. The smaller boy continued to indulge in sweets and looked back at the door when it opened. He saw it was just the other members and a surprise guest. He didn't recognize the girl though so he went back to his sweets, happily planning a way to get Mia here in his head.

The three of them watched as Tamaki was quick to hug Alice. Haruhi glanced over at Takashi and smiled then looked at Honey who was eating sweets. It didn't surprise her though. What did surprise her was that he had never once complained about having a cavity even though all he ever ate were sweets. She couldn't think of a time where he ate actual food, it was always cakes and ice cream with him. Perhaps he did eat regular food when no one was watching and you couldn't ask Takashi since he hardly ever talked. "It's been too long I think." Hikaru said, pulling his brother by the arm to sit with him at a table and finish their lunch.

Clint raised a curious brow, "I'm sorry, did I wake you?" He asked and leaned against the door frame. "Work was slow, just as we though and I made sure to check that engine like you told me to. I got a few looks but nothing bad happened so that was good. It was a good day. Fixed some engines, changed some oil, you know...boring stuff." He said and laughed softly. "How'd you hold up while I was gone? Anyone show up or call or anything like that?" He asked her.

Setting down the sweets in front of his bunny doll, Honey prepared to sit and eat but his attention was redirected to Tamaki who made a very promising deal. "My classmate?" The boy's eyes widened. How could he say no to this offer? Getting Mia to follow him shouldn't be too difficult. He had a lovable face after all right? Maybe if he mentioned sweets then she would come with him. But...he didn't want to do that because it meant he would have to share his sweets with her and he didn't want to do that. Tamaki had said if he did this he'd get all the sweets he wanted. In his mind, that meant never ending sweets. Well...never ending until his cousin decided it was time to stop. What to do? He glanced up at the blonde male, "So I just need to bring her here and then I'll get all the sweets?" He asked. He looked to his doll, wondering what Usa-Chan would do in this situation. "He nodded and looked back up at Tamaki. "Okay! I'll bring her here after school!" He agreed then sat down and began to enjoy his sweets, scarfing them down one after the other.

Haruhi tilted her head to the side, "Well...I think it's more of a shared custody between Tamaki and Kyoya." She answered with a shrug. Once Alice had her lunch in her hands, the group quickly made their way toward the club. Tamaki thought he was the one in charge, but well...Kyoya was usually the one coming up with ideas and helping Tamaki bring them to life. Tamaki was just the face of the club, the prince of the host club. The twins were already eating their lunches on their way to the club. When they reached two large ornate doors, the group came to a stop and both twins grinned at Alice before slowly opening the doors for her, revealing the club inside and the other members to her. "This is it." Haruhi said, taking a bite of her food. "Go on inside, they don't bite I assure you. Well...except honey-senpai. That's only if you try to take his sweets from him though." She explained.

Clint drove all the way home, traffic was pretty good. Sure a lot of people were getting home but it wasn't super congested like it was on festive days. Sometimes he hated driving because of that. When he arrived home, Clint stepped out, locked the doors and armed the alarm then walked to his front door. He inserted the key and unlocked the front door and stepped inside. "I'm home." He called after closing the door behind him and locking it again. He didn't hear anything, maybe Maddie was sleeping? "Hmm...should probably check.." He whispered to himself and quietly made his way over to her room. "Mads?" He said softly, lightly knocking on her door.

Kaneko began to cut out a piece of the little pancake stack she had and listened to Allen. He wanted to go outside? Her eyes darted to the window, it looked fine. Besides, it had been a year, surely they would be okay. "We can do that Allen. I would just need to dress properly, and you too sir." She said with a chuckle. "Wouldn't want anyone getting sick now would we?" She pointed out softly. Maybe some fresh air would do them some good, and the weather was pretty nice out right now. It wasn't storming, it would be nice to go out there and just take in the sights. She'd be sure to dress warmly and she'd bring along a blanket at well of Allen wanted to. It was pretty cold so it wouldn't look strange to carry a blanket around.

After throwing his trash away, Honey comfortably sat atop his cousin's shoulders. It was probably strange to see someone as small as him in this prestigious school. He looked like he belonged in grade school but he wasn't picked on and that was probably because he was with Takashi all the time. It wasn't too long before they reached the club's doors. His feet touched the ground once more and the doors were opened there. Sure enough, there were both Tamaki and Kyoya going on about something for the new students. They only had two new students this year? Honey hopped into the club room and hopped all the way to an empty table where he set Usa-chan down on one of the chairs. "Wait here, I'm going to get some sweets." He told the bunny.

Mia had finished her lunch and threw away the trash then sat back down at the table and removed her glasses to clean them. They were a little scratched up from the times they had fallen but she didn't want to wear her new pair yet. She didn't think she needed to since she could still see just fine with the ones she had.

Hearing her surprised tone, the three of them looked at her as they walked towards the cafeteria. "She doesn't know." Kaoru commented. "Yes, looks like she doesn't know." Hikaru agreed. The group hurried off to the cafeteria after she told them she hadn't even eaten breakfast that morning. When they arrived, Haruhi grabbed herself some lunch and motioned for the others to do the same. "The club has always been there but it's not really accepting new members...not that I know of anyway." She explained quietly. "I don't think Alice wants to join, Haruhi." Hikaru answered, grabbing himself some lunch with his brother. "Well you can't be so sure. Either way, we'd have to check with Tamaki and Kyoya to see if there are any openings but I don't think there are." Haruhi replied.

Carefully, she took the teacups and set them down on the tray then took the tray and walked slowly to the coffee table where she set it down. Kaneko then walked back to the kitchen and would pick up their plates of food and bring them over so that they could eat by the fire. It had been a year, that was twelve months of living here and she had quickly adapted to the new place. It was cozy, she was very happy here yes. The only visitors she ever got were wild animals but they would only mind their own business and then leave which made her happy. As much as she liked seeing them, she'd be very afraid if they decided to stick around. Allen was much better now, he hadn't bit her since the first time and now they had a small garden which she tended to with Allen's help. They were both happy here, that was the conclusion she had come to after seeing how they adapted to the change over time. "Here's your plate of pancakes Allen, careful they're still hot." Kaneko carefully held out his plate of food to him.

The customer seemed confused but only nodded and waited for Clint to finish checking the engine thoroughly. "So what was wrong with it exactly and what did you do?" He asked his co-worker. His co-worker then went into detail about what the problem was and what he had done in order to fix it. Clint nodded and went ahead and checked every part of the engine, cleaning out any grime he could find. By the time he had finished, he asked the customer to run it and when it did, it was purring smoothly. "Good, you did good." He told his co-worker then looked up when the boss whistled. "Oh, good the band. Yeah I'll replace it now!" He assured then looked at his co-worker. "Hey, don't get mad at me for being thorough." He muttered then went back to the car he had been fixing and started to replace the worn band.

During his lunch break he had to go buy something but at least he ate. He got back to work and for most of the day he was just cleaning the garage and rearranging the tools. At the end of the work day, he made his way to his car, hopped in and wondered how Maddie had been holding up while he was gone.

Seeing his cousin get up, the smaller boy quickly stood up and gathered his trash as well. They had time? For a moment, Honey's eyes looked at the other in confusion. "Time?" He repeated, then they widened as realization hit him. "Oh! Good! Maybe we could meet the others a-and maybe I could get more sweets before class starts." He said quietly to himself, holding Usa-chan close. "Let's go!" Honey cheered.

Mia glanced up hearing noise and noticed a tall male with black hair and a smaller boy with blonde hair. She wasn't sure who they were, she hadn't seen them before but the smaller one seemed excited about something. What? She didn't know but it was none of her business so she focused on just finishing her lunch and getting ready for the next class.

"The others must be at the club. Where else would they be?" Kaoru commented with a shrug. This was true, they always liked to hang out there even when it wasn't club hours. Haruhi thought about this. "Well...we can grab our lunch and go over there to check if they are there. I'm hungry though so I really want some lunch and I'm sure Alice here would like some lunch as well. After the scare you both gave her, at least give her a chance to eat." she instructed with a smile. Hikaru and Kaoru shared a look, "We were going to let her eat you know Haruhi." Kaoru began, "Yeah, we're not that cruel. But we can always eat on the way to the club. Alright it's settled then!" Hikaru said with a nod of his head.
