*Title was changed to just A Foreigner's Perspective, I felt the stuff at the beginning was unnecessary. We know it's Ouran Highschool Host Club and just in case an actual Season 2 comes out (I can hope) I don't want people to get confused.*

Copyright Stuffs: I do not own Ouran High School Host Club, if I did, there'd be a Season 2 by now.

Rambling Stuffs: Not much to say here. I'm reading the manga, but it's so early in the story that you shouldn't expect stuff from the manga until later, same with crossovers, not until chapter 14 AT LEAST. Not much else to say, there was a bio last chapter so I won't have it here, Aaron's personality will be expanded and explained later in the story. Um...If you have any suggestions please feel free to add them into your review. I'm currently accepting ideas for crossovers and I'll even add in an OC or two if I like them enough (So don't expect your ten original characters to get in) I'm not going to accept too many, maybe 2-4 at most in main character positions, I don't want there to be too many characters. Maybe I'll have chapters revolving around OCs. I'm thinking of adding little shorts at the end of each chapter. Just silly extra stories that have nothing to do with the plot. Tell me how you'd like that, I'll have one in this chapter so you can see what it'd be like. The chapter titles are a bit blunt, and usually sum up the entire chapter, but they did the same with the Anime (The Twins Fight, Honey's 3 Bitter Days, Kyoya's Reluctant Day Out, etc.)

WARNING: This fanfiction is rated T for the antics of the Host Club. It may contain Swear Words, Sexual Themes and Jokes, and even some violence. Characters may be a bit OoC (Out of Character) and some chapters may contain fluff.

Chapter Summary: Aaron, currently the Host Club's errand boy (or dog as Tamaki would call him) gets proper introductions from everyone (after what happened yesterday? He barely knew any of them. Let alone their names. He also gets trained on how to be a host, as he advances the ranks from errand boy to host! (Why can't the host club just have an errand boy?) Aaron's POV in the third person.

A Foreigner's Perspective

Chapter 2: Advancing the Ranks!

Only those with excellent social standing and those from filthy rich families are lucky enough to spend their time here at the élite private school, Ouran Academy. The Ouran Host Club is where the school's handsomest boys who have too much time on their hands entertain young ladies who also have way too much time on their hands. Just think of it as Ouran Academy's elegant playground for the super rich and beautiful.

"Well, second day, maybe I won't find myself confused for half the time today." Aaron opened the door to Music Room #3, but there were no roses or flashes of lights, as the Host Club wasn't open yet. They didn't open for another two hours, he'd been called in by Tanooki (Or whatever his name was, the blonde guy.) saying that, because he was the errand boy, he had to help setup for something. He didn't know if it was him, but getting called at 5:30 in the morning definitely isn't fun.

He walked in and found out what they were setting up for. All around him were various props and sets for what looked like a fantasy forest environment. He found The blonde guy (Tamaki, but Aaron for some reason couldn't remember his name. He could remember everyone else's though) and everyone else setting it up in various costumes. The pillars in the rooms had been outfitted as tall trees and the walls had turned dark green somehow.

"Ah, well if it isn't our new friend Aaron." Aaron spun around and found that somehow Kyoya had gotten behind him. He jumped away as, at this time, Kyoya scared the heck out of him.

"Hello Aaron." Suddenly the twins were at both sides of him, and had their elbows hooked both of his arms, effectively preventing him from moving, and dragged him to the changing room he'd stumbled into trying to escape yesterday. They pushed him into the changing room, closed the curtain, and threw over an outfit similar to the theme.

"Here, even errand boys need to look the part."

Aaron complied and changed into the outfit. He looked stupid. He had a cloak on and wore what seemed to be adventuring gear, complete with a wooden sword in a scabbard. By the time he'd changed the twins were gone, doing whatever the heck they did. He walked out of the changing room. When he walked out, he was greeted by the blonde guy and Haruhi.

"So, how do you like the outfit? Does it suit you perfectly? Do you love it more than anything?" The blonde guy was kind of annoying.

"He's annoying isn't he?" Haruhi said, at this, the blonde guy fell to the floor. The pointy arrows came back and jabbed into him again. "Don't worry, you'll get used to it all. By the way, I'm Haruhi, nice to meet you."

Haruhi extended her hand to shake, and Aaron shook it.

"Thanks, I'm Aaron, but you probably knew that. Who's the guy next to you? Let me see if I can remember his name...Um...Tamooki?"

Tamaki, having gotten back up, collapsed again. Poor Tamaki. But, he got up again, taking less time than the last to get back up.

"No, you are gravely mistaken. I'm Tamaki, King of the Host Club. He was about to go on until the twins appeared again.

"He's also one of the biggest perverts ever." Kaoru continued. "Once he even put earplugs and a blindfold on Haruhi."

"I TOLD YOU WHY I DID THAT! MY REASONS WERE PERFECTLY JUSTIFIED YOU WERE THE SHADY TWINS WERE WHO TURNED IT INTO SOMETHING PERVERTED!"

"So, Tamaki likes other guys, good to know. He does seem a bit...flamboyant." At this point, Aaron did not know Haruhi was a girl.

"Shouldn't we be setting up?" Haruhi asked as Tamaki and the twins were in a fierce argument. Tamaki was trying to explain what he did that night on the beach, while the twins were completely denying it.

"It's an excuse Tamaki, admit it, you thought about doing it." Hikaru joked, he and Kaoru were laughing hard at poor Tamaki's expense.

"I WOULD NEVER DO ANYTHING SO CRUDE AS THAT TO MY GIRL!" Tamaki's face was red. Whether from anger or blush, no one would ever know.

"So Tamaki and Haruhi have a father son relationship? Then why does he refer to Haruhi as "his girl?" It'd be better not to pry into their private lives." He obviously didn't know that in the future, his private life would be smashed open like a Piggy Bank when you need to get the money inside it.

"Well, I'm going to go do work, so, you know, we actually get stuff done." Aaron walked off and left the Twins and Tamaki watching him.

"Well, he certainly reminds me of a certain someone." Hikaru said, looking at Haruhi.

"Eh, he seems more sarcastic, but I can see the resemblances." Kaoru replied.

"Hey! Are you going to stand there all day, or are we actually going to get some work done?" Aaron yelled from across the room, he was helping Mori set up fake trees and "bandits" (pop outs meant to scare girls, setting up a romantic moment, activated by pressure pads on the floor.)

"Yeah, we're coming!" Haruhi replied. "Come on Tamaki-Senpai, you've slacked off enough today." She then dragged him by the ear as they went off to work.

"Well, this'll be fun to watch, shall we go Hikaru?"

"Yes, lets." Hikaru and Kaoru then walked off to see how things developed.

So, they worked until 7:30, when the Host Club opened in the morning. (1 in the morning for poor Aaron, who had only been in Japan for two days and was still adjusting to the Jet Lag)

Tamaki was dressed as an elven archer, complete with the ears and everything. He wore a green cloak that covered his whole body. The hood had a weird symbol where one yellow triangle was on top of two other triangles.

Haruhi looked like an elf archer, like Tamaki, he'd originally wanted her to wear a skimpier outfit claiming that females usually wear clothing like that and that it's high level material (where did he get sudden video game knowledge?) but then Haruhi denied him and used a spare male outfit. Why would Tamaki want to make Haruhi wear such a skimpy outfit exposing so much skin? Would Tamaki wear an outfit like that? Haruhi was a guy, why Tamaki would suggest something like that baffled Aaron. Maybe it was an inside joke?

Kyoya looked like a dark mage, complete with the shadowy outfit and red eyes. He had perfected those.

Mori was your usual fantasy character cliche. The one who wields a large sword. He looked like Cumulus from Last Dream VII.

Honey looked like a Monk, he had a cute little robe on and even had a staff. He looked so Kawaii.

Aaron himself looked like a rogue. He had an adventuring cloak and two short swords in scabbards. He even had a fake bow and arrows. Why an errand boy like him had to wear such an outfit made no sense to him, but he went along with it anyways.

Music Room #3

The Host Club is now open for business!

As soon as the sign was put up girls flooded into the room. Poor Aaron who was cleaning up where he'd broken the vase, as there'd been some small shards on the floor. He drowned in the flood. When all the girls had entered, Aaron lay on the ground, flattened and trampled. He got up and started doing his duties, which was mainly to serve the ladies, refill drinks, dish out food, and even sometimes work the new bar they'd put in place. (they didn't serve alcohol, but they did serve various juices and coffee. (the coffee was secretly commoners coffee, but they didn't tell anyone.) As he did his job, he couldn't help but stare at what was going on, the way they flirted with these ladies made them squeal. He could never do anything like that. He was an awkward person at his original school. He'd had his friends, but he wasn't exactly the outgoing type.

"Hello." A girl called out to him.

"Hi, may I do anything for you?" That's what Kyoya had told him to say to anyone who asked him anything.

"How about you come sit down and we can talk." She seemed very seductive, she didn't have a host with her. Odd.

"I'm very sorry miss, but Aaron is not up for requests currently." Kyoya had, again, appeared out of nowhere. It still scared Aaron.

"Oh, that's sad. Could you tell me when he is taking requests?"

"Yes, we'll keep all the girls up to date in the newsletter."

"Well, okay, sad to know such a pretty face isn't up for grabs." She got up and walked away. Aaron was very confused.

"That was odd, who was that?"

"That's Miyako Watanabe, second year, class B. Her family owns a large manufacturing company here in Japan. She usually just watches the hosts, she's never asked for an appointment. You seem to be the first person she's taken interest in. " Kyoya definitely knew a lot.

"How did you find all this out?"

"I do regular background checks on everyone in the school, I knew about you well before you even visited the Host Club."

"How much did you know?..." Aaron was kind of scared of the knowledge Kyoya possessed.

"I knew a lot about you, your family and friends, what they were like, your interests, even the little things like what angered you and the games you've played."

"How did you find all this out?!" Aaron was mortified, if Kyoya knew this much, could he know about that one time he'd...no, he couldn't...he just couldn't...

"It was easy, I just found you on the social networking site headrecord."

That was a close one, if Kyoya had known...

"Hey, Aaron!" Tamaki called over. "I see she was quite into you, she usually doesn't even talk to us, seems like you might be host material!"

"What?! Me?! A host? What?..." Aaron was perfectly fine being a waiter, and if being a host was anything like yesterday...

"Well, it would be a good move financially, We've gotten tons of people asking if he's up for appointments just in the hour he's been here, it seems people would like to get to know the first foreigner to get into the school."

"What? But wasn't that girl the first one to ask for me?!" Aaron didn't want to be a host, it scared him.

"No, you don't have to be right there for people to request you, I've seen tons of girls ask about you and I've even gotten a few emails. Having you as a host would only benefit the club, plus it'd be easier to pay off you're debt." Kyoya seemed to know he didn't want to be a host. Did he really know everything?

"Nono, I'm perfectly fine with the job I have right now thank you." Aaron really didn't want to be a host.

"No! I strongly insist you become a host! You'll pay off your debt 10 times faster and it'll allow you to break out of that shell of yours!" Tamaki was still there. His hand was rolled up into a fist that he slammed into his open palm. He was serious about this.

"Hey! Who're to say I have a shell! I'm a social person!" Aaron was offended that Tamaki had basically called him an introvert.

"Really? Then go over and talk to those 4 girls in my place." Tamaki was too self confident.

"Nono, I'm good. I'd rather just be a waiter and not be a host."

"Then it's decided! You'll be a host from now on!" Tamaki didn't give him a choice.

"Hey! Don't I get a say in this! I-"

"Renge! We've got a new host and I need you to help me train him!" Aaron was cut off by Tamaki.

"Powerful Motor"

A sudden laughing came out of nowhere and bounced off the walls, sounding like it came from everywhere at once. The room shuddered for a moment as an elevated platform rose through the floor, with a girl on top of it, the Renge Tamaki had been talking too. It was the girl from yesterday.

"Ah, so we meet again foreigner. But this time, you can't leave." Her hair seemed like they were snakes and her eyes were gleaming red. Aaron was scared, and everyone else around him acted like it was normal.

"Hi Renge." Haruhi said casually.

"Haruhi!" Renge ran toward Haruhi and tackled her in a hug. She obviously had a thing for him. (Note: Aaron still doesn't know Haruhi's a girl, neither does Renge, one would think she would've caught on by now, but no.)

"Ah! Get off me!" Haruhi squirmed and tried to get out of Renge's grasp, but it was hopeless.

"Ah-hem!" Tamaki cleared his throat. He sounded angry. "Remember what you were here to do Renge?"

"Oh! Right!" She ran up to him and looked him in the eye. She looked like she was summing him up in right there.

"So you're the new kid. Aaron Everren, foreign exchange student. First Foreigner to get into Ouran."

"Wait, how do you know all this?" Why did so many people know about him?

"Oh, everyone know's about you. You're the next Haruhi."

"Wait, what? I've heard people talk about Haruhi, but what exactly did he do?"

"Haruhi was the first person that wasn't of high social status to get into the school." Kaoru joined into the conversation.

"She's also not filthy rich like we are, so she was the first commoner to get into the school." Hikaru said, he was very arrogant.

"And she smashed the vase just like you did so she had to work with us and the funny thing is that-"

Mori dragged Honey off before he could finish.

"Are you guys talking about me?" Haruhi walked up.

"Yes, we just were, we're done now. We should really get back to work, this conversation has put us off for the day. Renge, don't you have work to do?"

Renge was off to the side playing the newly released Uki Doki Memorial II on a Shintendo Portable Game Player. Everyone stared at her.

"What? I have to play it! They even added two new characters!" Renge tried to justify the fact she was playing it

Aaron thought to himself "Is that a dating sim game? I did hear that they're popular here in Japan...I wouldn't get caught dead playing one of those."

Tamaki snatched the Gameplayer from Renge's hand "No! No more games until you've helped me train the new guy." Renge started crying and throwing a fit, yet everything seemed completely normal; none of the girls seemed to notice.

"Renge, could you please help Tamaki train Aaron?" Kyoya asked Renge in a nice tone.

"Yes! I'd do anything if you asked me too! I like Haruhi more, but when you say things in that tone...oooooh I could eat three bowls of rice!"

It seemed like Renge had a thing for Kyoya, why, he didn't understand, and he wouldn't until he researched just what exactly Uki Doki Memorial was.

Renge seemed to be focused now, she and Tamaki looked over Aaron, both with shadowy faces and red eyes, why was everyone in this school so scary!

A Week Later

Aaron walked into his apartment near the school campus. The school was providing it to him given he'd get at least first or second in his class. He needed a place to stay during his 3 years in Japan and it's not like he could afford a house or anything in Japan, especially in a rich neighborhood like the one near the school. The school payed for his utilities (Phone, Water, Electricity, Internet, etc.) and Aaron had to pay for everything else. He'd worked out a deal with Kyoya that 75% of his salary as a host (they get paid to do what they do, and at Ouran they make good money) would go to paying off his debt, and the other 25% would go to him for other stuff. He got an apartment inspection every other week, so he had to keep the place clean and not let it get too messy, but other than that the school let him do whatever he wanted.

He practically fell onto his bed. Between homework and the Host Club, his mind was fried. Renge and Tamaki were tough instructors, but he had been making good progress. He'd been open to requests a day after he'd begun training, and he'd learn how to make up things to say. He'd learned how to put a glass down silently, how to make girls swoon, and many other things. Who new a glance in the right direction could make a girl squirm. It was certainly an...interesting experience to be in the Host Club. He at least knew all of their names and some defining characteristics.

Tamaki was the blonde guy, he over exaggerated a lot, got angry and defensive when spoken against, and depressed when personally insulted, but he would always get back up.

Haruhi was the brown haired guy, he seemed very...feminine, and it was certainly implied so, as Tamaki always tried to get him into women's clothing.

Kyoya was the raven haired one, he was scary and manipulative, he seemed to think of everything from a business standpoint, if it got the Host Club more money, the better it was.

Honey was the one that looked like a child. It turns out he's one of the oldest, to the point where he's graduated from High School. He was usually called other a lollita or a shotacon, whatever those meant. He was very childish for his age. He ate whole cakes in a few seconds.

Mori was also raven haired, but his hair was more spiky. He didn't know much about Mori, he was quiet, and usually hung around Honey.

The Twins, Hikaru and Kaoru, both had orange spiky hair, and they were both very mischievous. They seemed to always be in an argument with Tamaki, yet at the same he knew that they respected him, they even called him Boss. They were difficult to tell apart save for the way they wore their hair (they flipped everyday, so you mistook one for the other) and their voices.

Renge randomly appeared from moving piston platforms in the floor, at this point he'd heard her trademark laugh so many times it wasn't even funny. She was addicted to Uki Doki Memorial.

It was late, he had to sleep. He'd be up early in the morning, Tamaki usually sent a text at 5 in the morning, and he was still getting adjusted to jet lag. It wasn't hard getting to sleep, he was so tired.

It was 5:30 in the morning, and just as Aaron had called, he was sent a text by Tamaki, he was told to get to the Host Club right away, for he was needed for something important. He opened the door, once again, no light or roses. He wondered how they did that as he walked in. All the Hosts were sitting at a round table.

"Aaron! Take a seat!" Tamaki called to him.

Aaron sat down and saw a mug with a brown liquid in it, coffee. Apparently it was commoner's coffee, as there was a difference between the coffee they used to drink and the one they drank now. He didn't know, he was just about to start the manga, maybe watch the Host Club anime.

"So, what am I here for? Do we need to set up or anything?" Aaron was confused as to why he'd been called to the school at 5:30 in the morning.

"We're not cosplaying today, we only do that on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays." Kaoru explained.

"We could afford it, but we'd eventually run out of ideas for what to do, even Tamaki can't come up with that many ideas." Hikaru chimed in, he usually added on to Kaoru's thoughts, and vice versa.

"So, would anyone care to tell me why I'm here then? I'm still suffering jet lag." Aaron really just wanted to sleep more than anything.

"Well, you're a host now, so I felt we needed to celebrate, and what better way than a nice cup of coffee in the morning!" Tamaki seemed to be fully awake. Everyone else seemed tired, even if just a little.

"So do you drink coffee a lot?" Aaron still had a lot to learn.

"It's practically our trademark drink." Kaoru answered.

"Haruhi bought it for us in one of her first days here, we'd never tried, and when we first saw instant coffee, we thought it was amazing." Honey continued.

"Hey! I was going to continue!" Hikaru was mad the pattern had been thrown off.

"Hey! We're not here to bicker! We're here to congratulate the fact that we have another host, and one that fits in with all of our archetypes to boot. To Aaron!" Tamaki raised his glass of instant coffee dramatically, like it was a legendary blade or something.

"Honestly, sometimes you over exaggerate a lot. It's annoying sometimes, but that's why I'm here. To Aaron." Kyoya said

"To a new toy!" The twins raised their glasses.

"Did they just call me their toy?" Aaron thought to himself. He was scared.

"To a new cake buddy!" Honey raised his glass.

Mori raised his glass without saying anything.

"Well, he's going to be really confused. I still think he was rushed into this, but whatever. To Aaron." Haruhi finished the toasts.

"Well, I don't know what to say, I'm not so sure about being called Hikaru and Kaoru's toy, but I hope that I'm a good host, and that we have a lot of fun this year, I might as well, considering I was forced into this. To me!" Aaron raised his glass.

"To Aaron!" Everyone said

Start Shissou

Ouran Shorts:
Jet Lag

Poor Aaron, suffering from Jet Lag, he'll get over it in a month, but what if he'd suffered actual Jet Lag?

Aaron was sitting in his plane, listening to music on his Pineapple Pphone, when suddenly the plane stopped, then moved a bit again, then went backwards. This kept happening for a bit until the captain came on and said "Hello everyone, thank you for flying with us, we're experiencing some jet lag, so please bare with us as we try to get this fixed, thank you."

"Literal Jet Lag? How's that possible?!" Aaron thought to himself

Little did he know the strange things that'd happen to him and the people around him when he got to Ouran.

Well, that's it for chapter 2, sorry for the long wait, I've been playing lots of Minecraft with friends and watching Naruto. That plus school, and I certainly don't have the most amount of time. I'm supposed to be doing homework right now, but I couldn't help but update this. I'm hoping to get lots of new content out in the future, and I'm currently developing a Tales of the Abyss fanfiction, that plus a Smash Bros. one. Not saying anything else, but they'll both be more action oriented then this will be. There'll still be action in this fanfiction, just not as much as the comedy and romance and drama. Anyways, sorry if there was OoC, I felt I captured the characters decently. As for the short, tell me how you liked it, I'm thinking of doing those everyone two to three chapters, just little mini stories that have nothing to do with the actual story.

What grade everyone is in (in order of highest to lowest):

Honey: Freshmen in College

Mori: Freshmen in College

Tamaki: 3rd Year in Highschool

Kyoya: 3rd Year in Highschool

Haruhi: 2nd Year in Highschool

The Twins: 2nd Year in Highschool

Aaron: First Year

?: First Year

I'm going to just let you chew on the fact that there's a mystery character. He/She isn't going to be introduced anytime soon either, so you'll have to wait. (Hopefully you're not as bad at waiting then Honey is)

Anyways, next chapter begins the actual story. That was just intro stuff. Next chapter the Host Club will be back to wooing girls and doing what they do. Chapter 3 will be a while though, as it took a while for this to be made, and I want to work on another fanfiction, but rest assured a Chapter 3 will be made.

I'm still accepting requests for OCs. They're not needed but I'd like to have some re-occuring characters, so why not yours? Just submit then in the review section with their name, a bio, general facts (gender, age, year of school, etc.), and if I like your character, I'll include them in the story! (With your permission of course) Who knows, maybe they'll even get a chapter or two just for them! You can also request ideas for chapters AND crossovers with other anime/shows (not too unlikely, okay?) Please no Mary/Gary Sues/Stues, please, no.

That's really it, be on the lookout for other works of mine, and until then, rate and review, I'd love the feedback, leave suggestions for characters AND chapters in your reviews, and have a good day!
