"Research Night"

"Attention everyone, I have an announcement to make!" Haruhi declared, placing one foot on the seat of a chair and throwing a fist in the air. "Starting this week, every Friday is research night!"

Kyon blinked. "Research night?"

Haruhi grinned. "That's right! Every Friday, the SOS Brigade is going to spend time in the library researching espers, time travellers, aliens and any other supernatural creatures we might encounter." She folded her arms. "Today, Itsuki pointed out to me that the more knowledge we gather, the better prepared we'll be when we finally encounter some phenomenon."

"Oh, did he?" Kyon gave the smiling Itsuki a glare.

"So, this Friday, be at the library or there will be a penalty."

"But...but I'm busy Friday..." Mikuru stammered.

As Haruhi went to yell at Mikuru about the importance of gathering information, Kyon growled quietly to Itsuki. "Why did you give her such a stupid idea?"

"Because the Agency has informed me that a popular new television show from America is starting to air on Friday in Japan. I believe the show is called 'Avatar: The Last Airbender'."

"So?" Kyon replied, not seeing what this had to do with anything.

Itsuki leaned forward. "This show involves people having the ability to literally bend the elements. In other words, the characters in this show can actually control earth, fire, air and water."

Kyon went silent. Suddenly, his head filled with visions of a fired up Haruhi becoming a new fan of this show and raving about how awesome it would be if she could control the elements. Then, another vision entered his head which consisted of his clothes being set on fire, the school being mysteriously flooded, having to hide from recurring earthquakes and himself being blown away by fierce wind storms.

After having these thoughts, Kyon leaned back in his chair. "Research night it is."

Author's Note: For those who don't know, Avatar: The Last Airbender is going to be airing in Japan. Upon hearing this, I then got this idea of what would happened if Haruhi watched this show.
