Elfed

The host club looked amazing, it had to be said.

White, silver and pink garlands were draped around every window. The tables had the most beautiful white table cloths with pink trim. In the centre of each were gorgeous mini Christmas trees.

Presents for each guest were placed tastefully under a giant tree which happened to be white. Around its branches pale pink garlands of tinsel glittered in the light that streamed through the large windows. Glitter covered and metallic cupcakes, lollipops and sweets shone almost as much as the tinsel. There were all shades of pale blue, purple, pink and a pale green. On top of this was of course a star but it was a glittering hot pink.

Of course if one was still wondering who had been in charge of this work of art they only had to notice the little origami bunnies in various pastel shades that also adorned the branches of the tree. Yes this was the work of Mitsukuni Haninozuka, assisted of course by the ever faithful Mori.

Around the room the hosts were at work dressed in green, red and gold suits. This clashed with the decor just a little but Tamaki being a lover of tradition had insisted. He was at that moment seated at the piano playing christmas carols. 

Honey was eating the delicious Christmas cake and sweets, surrounded by gushing girls who couldn't help remarking on how he looked like an elf.

The twins were creating new lyrics to Tamaki's carols. Tamaki had to fight his temper as they began to sing their version of 'oh christmas tree'

"Oooooh commoners treats, oh commoners treats...oh how we love to eat thee" they carolled at the top of their lungs and Haruhi rolled her eyes.

She had indeed provided commoners treats and naturally Tamaki and the Twins were crazy about them. She noticed Kyoya sitting at his desk looking like the antics of the club were well beyond his usual capacity to endure. Deciding to join him she strolled over and stood beside him.

"Not one for Christmas Kyoya Senpai?" She asked casually.

"I like Christmas just fine... I just don't see the need for all the wasted money, time and energy" was Kyoya's curt reply. 

"Are you serious? Kyoya Senpai Christmas isn't supposed to be about practicality. Even I know that. It's supposed to be a fun, loving, exciting time. A holiday. Don't you ever relax and just enjoy yourself? Even I know when it's time to forget about money and work for a while."

"I have plenty of fun. I just find idleness taxing when I could be doing something productive or saving my money and energy for something important. Besides christmas has never been big in my family and never will be. My father does not do fun."

"You know Kyoya Senpai... I feel sorry for you." Haruhi sighed, shaking her head but everyone was distracted by the door opening. A small figure cautiously entered. She was slightly shorter than Honey with her black hair cut in a pixie cut. Her big dark eyes searched  the room nervously until she saw Kyoya. Her face broke out into a huge grin and she started to walk towards him when she saw the Christmas tree.

"Oh my! What an absolutely adorable tree!" She gaped before clapping excitedly and bounding over to it. This immediately caught everyone's attention again.

"It is quite splendid, isn't it princess" Tamaki appeared at her side. 

"Princess? Oh no I'm no princess..." The girl giggled and then spotted Honey, "Oh wow!"

Honey was surprised for a moment when he was immediately glomped.

"You must be from the south! I'm from the north..." The strange girl said eagerly, "you did the tree didn't you! Great work! Are there any others like us here?"

"He he! Yes I made the tree all pretty and yes I am from the south of Japan." Honey grinned "Wanna have some cake with us? We have heaps!"

The girl nodded enthusiastically and Honey gave a delighted cheer. Once the girl was seated and eating it was discovered that her name was Trixie but everything else about her remained a mystery.

Tamaki was in his mushroom corner for the remainder of the day, Kyoya studied the newcomer carefully trying to figure her out and the Twins tried to work out where the name Trixie could have possibly come from.

Besides that the Christmas themed day was a complete success. Everyone went home extremely excited and happy. That is except for Kyoya, who stayed behind to work on his laptop.

"So you're Kyoya now" a silvery little voice interrupted his concentration.

"I don't recall ever not being Kyoya" was the flat answer as Kyoya looked up from his laptop.

"Actually you were known as Jinx" Trixie murmured.

"You must be mistaking me for someone else... If you'll excuse me I really must get on with this"

"Before you do... Could you just take a really good look at me?" Trixie requested, fiddling with her school dress.

Kyoya sighed and did as asked, only to get very fine gold dust blown in his face.

"What the..." He waved away the dust and tried to blink it out of his eyes. The next thing he knew he was feeling very fuzzy and dizzy.

"I'm sorry" Trixie whispered as he blacked out.
