Dream 6 [Canon Update]

Jul 09, 2010 23:51

Warnings: None. Maybe just Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody spoilers.
Dream effects: The dream is shrouded in darkness. Although Kyon and middle school!Haruhi can't see each other, the viewer can see the both of them clearly.
Filter: Another attempted filter from Haruhi. Let's see how that goes.
Note: This is no longer backdated. Carry on! /o/

I suddenly found myself standing in a familiar field. In my hands was a line marker. I ignored the incoming back pain and my chalk-covered palms as a little girl wearing yellow hair bows was barking commands my way. For example:

"What the hell is that?! You call that a line??"

"Start over! Don't make me come over there and do it myself!"

Isn't she just delightful?

I kept asking myself over and over again, "What am I doing? Why am I taking orders from a middle school kid?" and let's not forget, "Why did I even agree to come in the first place?". After a few more minutes, the weird writing on the field was done. I wasn't so sure what Haruhi was trying to pull. Maybe it was a message, her own way of letting anyone extraordinary know that she was here, waiting for them to find her.

Exhausted, I sat on the steps leading to that field in order to catch my breath. Haruhi was standing a few levels above me, her arms crossed, a serious expression on her face.

"Say, do you think aliens exist?" Typical, typical Haruhi.

"That came out of nowhere."

"Answer the question."

"Why not?"

"What about time travelers then?"

"I wouldn't be surprised if they did."

"And espers?"

"Walking all over the place, I guess."

"Sliders?"

"I haven't met one of those yet."

"Hmm..." After a short pause, she spoke again. "That's a North High uniform right?"

"Sure."

"What's your name?"

"John Smith."

Even though I couldn't see her, I can feel her glare pierce through the darkness.

"Are you retarded?"

Good to see that you haven't changed in three years, Chief.

I figured out after a few more minutes of bantering that whatever we wrote on the ground was a wish for Orihime and Hikoboshi to grant for Tanabata. It suddenly brought me back to the Haruhi I know in the future, the one who brought in a bamboo tree and had us write ours wishes down (even though the first wish would be granted in 16 years, the second one in 25.). She still believed in them after all these years.

Just when I came to understand this girl a little better, the middle schooler before me did something that shouldn't even surprise me anymore. Haruhi turned around, jogging down the steps, leaving me in her dust after completing her objective.

All I could think of after that was: 'She didn't even thank me for helping her?'

Kyon was lying his back flat on the bed while he threw the covers off himself. He was silent for a moment, suddenly feeling like everything was coming back to him. Mikuru Asahina did take him three years into the past. All the knowledge he gained because of the trip just made him sigh in dismay. Long story short, it was him who made Haruhi come to North High in the first place.

'I'm going to have a hell of a time explaining this one.'

He hasn't noticed it yet but there is a tiny crystal replica of the SOS Brigade logo sitting right next to his Dreamberry.
