[Cue Music - "Hemisphere," by Maaya Sakamoto]
It is an everyday school morning and Kyon stands at the foot of the hill that would lead to his destination. He gives a sigh that hints at the fact that he wants to turn around and go back. A small figure joins his side by the name of Kaya Tachibana. Behind both of them is Kanade Tachibana. Kyon waves to the faraway travel mate. In response, Kaya playfully shoves Kyon up the hill to make sure everyone will get to school on time.
…
The trio navigates their way to their way to the school gates, where the hyperactive duo (Tsuruya and Yui) are engaged in a drawn out rock-paper-scissors stalemate. Kyon manages to sneak away to his locker unnoticed by the goofballs and Tachibana sisters.
…
Two of Kyon's fellow classmates (Hinata and Taniguchi) were there to greet him with random banter about girls and after-school events scheduled for today. Kyon inputted little into the conversation and eventually decided to leave the shoe locker to continue his ordinary day starting with homeroom.
…
The class representative (Ryoko Asakura) delivered Kyon his handout followed by the one behind him (Haruhi Suzumiya). As they engaged in conversation, he noticed two of his classmates (Kunikida and Oyama) engaged in conversation in what looks like the exact same position. Haruhi shouts, accusing Kyon of not paying attention while attracting the attention of the majority of the class. The 'bowl-cut brothers' chuckle nervously.
…
After school.
The debate club's closure argument of the day involves two of the club's most persuasive students (Itsuki Koizumi and Naoi Ayato). The high majority of non-competitors left in the room were female students, including a considerably popular junior named Mikuru Asahina. One must wonder how many of them are actually interested in the discussion.
Yui is busy cheering her heart out at all of the North High Talent Show acts. One act in particular consisted of a sole male dancer, who performed impressive Michael Jackson-esque steps all while blindfolded with a stylish red bandana. Even after that stellar performance, Yui's excitement would only escalate with the last act on schedule: Battle of the Bands: "ENOZ" Vs. "Girls Dead Monster."
The judo club's (Matsushita) sensei has a black belt to award to Tsuruya today. Shiina would accompany her close friend (Sakanaka) to her faraway house, where she would look forward to giving her dog (Rousseau) a large hug before they would go on his scheduled walk. The Tachibana sisters have a ranked online video game match to attend together with their skilled overseas pen pal (Yuki Nagato). Nagato sends message asking whether or not they are ready. The sisters ready their response while hovering their index fingers over the ENTER key.
...
Another average day comes to pass, and Kyon would engage in his usual routine that involves walking Haruhi halfway to her house.
"Say, Kyon," Haruhi started. "I was thinking. You know how I was complaining this morning about how every club in this school is meaningless?"
"What about it?" Kyon replied nonchalantly.
"If I'm not satisfied with what is available, then why don't I start a club myself? Sounds pretty cool, huh?"
"..."
"What's the matter with you?" Haruhi scowled. "You should excited about this idea!"
Kyon replied in a tone barely audible, "That's impossible since I practically gave you the idea in the first place..."
"What was that?"
"It's nothing," Kyon answered. "Don't pay any attention to me. (Even though you were doing that to begin with...)"
Once everyone reached the street corner close to the train crossing, the duo ran into another couple traveling from the other side. Ironically, the male half of both sides of the crossing look exaggeratedly exhausted while the females stood tall as if they sapped their partner's energy.
"Hey," the red-haired girl said to the other. "I see that you're also carrying around extra baggage."
"You know it!"
"Who are you calling extra baggage!" both males shouted at the same time. Kyon and his orange-haired counterpart observed each other; they gave each other an exasperated grin.
A green light permitted couple two to cross and go on their wave. With a hearty wave, the young girl started off on her destination with her quote directed to Kyon.
"You take care of her, alright?"
"Yeah... (wait, what)?"
The other guy followed suit and waved the others goodbye. Kyon and Haruhi watched the odd couple until they were no longer visible.
"So about my new club," Haruhi continued. "We're going to have to work together to find potential members that are either equally or more interesting than those two."
"Were those guys really that interesting...?" Kyon asked softly. "I guess you're right... Wait, you're already including me as part of this hypothetical club's population?"
"At least one of our members should be a mysterious transfer student! It's getting around that time where anyone who transfers from this time-frame has to have some crazy backstory! Tomorrow, we should check out the Literary Club to see if it's as vacant as I last remembered. If it's the same, then that covers our new base of operations! Hey Kyon, are you listening?"
...
Come join everyone...
Together in this new world~
Where wishes come true.
