Haruhi had little trouble travelling through the water - she could just swim through it. Granted, her uniform got wet, but it seemed to dry much quicker than it should once she was out. As such, she continued to travel from one part of the Network to the other as usual, the water not bothering her in the slightest. Hey, she had far more pressing concerns, like solving the mystery of why people just disappeared.

As she arrived at the train station, however, she vaguely noticed a ripple of movement above the water. While she couldn't quite make out what it was - probably just the shapes in the sky again, really - as her gaze went down, she spotted a person in the water. Long, red-brown hair, wearing a familiar-looking costume... now having fallen still in the lake. Haruhi stared for the moment in shock, before crying out.

"MIKURU-CHAN!"

What the?! Why was she here? Why was she so still? She couldn't be dead or anything, right?! Barely even thinking, Haruhi threw herself into the wall of water that towered over the station, hoping

SURE!!!

Kyon had been trying to find someone to help get her to the labs again when she heard it: the gunshots.

'How much time has passed and we're only now having some kind of fight? And does it really need to be a Western?'

Out of curiosity, she glanced in the direction of the shots to see a petite redheaded girl in a strange getup floating in the middle of the water.

'Or it's an SOS!'

Not really thinking, Kyon dove into the water from where she had been standing and swam for the girl. She thought she heard Haruhi crying out, but dismissed it. Her only goal was to get the girl out of the water.

If only she knew who that really was floating there.

Mikuru is a bit passed out to do much, so godmoding her out of the water is okay!

Mikuru drifted, losing consciousness. She lost her grip on both her bag and the pistol she'd shot (the one she left in the back of her apron stayed put, though; Mikuru could tie a decent knot), and her belongings began to sink back to the station. She was a magical girl, however low budget, this was such a stupid way to go...

[needs_weird]

Being closer to Mikuru than Kyon (the girl hadn't gone far through the water at all!), not to mention quite a strong swimmer, Haruhi reached the girl first. She had no idea why she was wearing her battle waitress costume, but questions could wait. First things first, hooking her arms around Mikuru, she pulled her up to the surface.

"Mikuru-chan?" she quickly asked, shaking her slightly. "Are you okay? Mikuru-chan?"

No reply for the moment. Wasting no more time trying to get her to talk, Haruhi decided to just pull the girl to land - towards the Residential Zone - not spotting Kyon rushing to help too. Turns out that lifesaving lessons weren't as useless as she'd once thought.
