Disclaimer: I don't own the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.
Mikuru looked in anguish at Haruhi. Haruhi had once again forced her to wear something… a beautiful yet gaudy angel costume. Mikuru's face blushed. Nevertheless, just as Haruhi tightened the large pink bow in the back of the dress, Kyon once more walked right in while she was changing.
Down the hall, you could hear Mikuru shriek in anxiety. Kyon quickly jumped out of the room and shut the door.
"Sorry!" He shouted, and sighed.
Almost every day started like this. Of course, it was always different in the end, sometimes even in the middle. However, today… I have no clue as to what Haruhi is planning on doing to poor Asashina-chan. The thing about Haruhi is that she is unpredictable… Moreover, today is Monday, so who knows what mood she is in either.
Therefore, in that one period, I went to the safety of the Literary clubroom- which now known as the clubhouse of the SOS Brigade. I found out later what Haruhi had in store for us…
"Members of the SOS Brigade, I have a special announcement to make! So listen up!" Haruhi declared.
Oh, what now… we shovel the entire city for any alien artifacts, walk the whole side of town to seek out any unsolvable mysteries? I do not think so… not today, I will not.
Koizumi, Mikuru, and Yuki all looked towards her in anticipation. Haruhi waved her arm to inform a surprise.
"We are going to put on a drum roll play!" She shouted happily.
Kyon lifted his head.
Is she serious… a play… as in a musical or William Shakespeare or what?
"What kind of play are you thinking of, Miss Haruhi?" Koizumi asked, while smiling, of course.
Haruhi looked at him, her eyes shining and mouth grinning.
"I am so glad you asked, Koizumi-kun! Plays as in we all get our own characters and scripts and Kyon is going to put it on our club's webpage when we're done so that everyone in the whole school can see it!" Haruhi explained.
"Ah, I see." Koizumi said, nodding.
"Yup, here is the list of characters in the play: Amaterasu, the Sun Goddess, Hitomi Akemi the Angel, Tsukiko Katsumi the Witch, Masato Takehiko the Prince, and Haruo Noburu as the Prince's sidekick!" Haruhi exclaimed.
Kyon's shoulders slumped in misery.
I already know which part I will be getting… the worthless sidekick.
"You all don't have to worry about which part you'll get, because I have taken the liberty of doing that for you! Koizumi-kun, you are the royal Prince, Masato Takehiko! Mikuru, of course, is the beautiful angel! Yuki-chan is the Witch, Tsukiko Katsumi, and Kyon…"
Haruhi gave a particularity long pause for my part… It was unnecessary.
"You will be Koizumi's loyal sidekick, Haruo Noburu!" She confirmed.
I once again gave a sigh of distraught. I saw Koizumi wink at me. My shoulders cringed. No, I was not resentful… but I was truly irritated.
Mikuru-chan looked at Haruhi.
"But what part will you be, Haruhi-san?" She asked politely.
"I of course will be Amaterasu, the Sun Goddess!" Haruhi replied proudly.
Great… she is most likely the main character, too. Nevertheless, what else would anyone expect from Haruhi?
"So, what is this play about?" Kyon asked.
Haruhi gave me a dangerously satisfied look; with that smirk across her face, it scares me when she looks like that. Now I wished I had not asked such an obvious question.
"The play is called Those Who Love Their Superiors. It is about how the Prince has fallen desperately in love with the Angel Hitomi who rarely comes to Earth, and if she does, it is to convey orders from the Sun Goddess. But the sidekick is in love with the Sun Goddess who sends the Angel to Earth in the first place, and the Witch simply hates the whole concept of love, so she wants to kill the Angel, the Prince, and wants the Goddess destroyed!" Haruhi explained with enthusiasm.
I got the plot… How would the Witch kill the Goddess if she never came down to Earth? Her motive is evident, but just how would she do it? Besides, destroying the Goddess would not solve all of the problems. Perhaps the Witch is jealous because there is not anyone for her to love. If she wishes to kill the Prince and Angel, who would that, leave her with the sidekick. Therefore, she would love the lower position. That just does not make any sense.
While I was thinking, I say Koizumi glance at me from the corner of my eye. He gave me a smile and looked back at Haruhi.
"Miss Haruhi, how exactly would the Witch kill the Goddess if she couldn't reach her?" He asked.
I gasped. Can he read minds as well?
Haruhi put her hands on her hips.
"Well, how else would she! Obviously, the Witch would have to lure the Sun Goddess down the Earth!" She said.
"How would she do that?" Mikuru asked.
"By killing the Angel; that would snatch her attention, of course!" Haruhi explained, punching the air.
"Ah, I see now." Koizumi inquired.
Okay, so now we know, fine. There is just one more question…
"How will we tape this play if all of us have our own characters? We'll need someone else to do that, Haruhi." Kyon remarked.
A look of surprise suddenly appeared on her face. Then her eyes quickly lifted. Oh, no she figured it out already….
"OF COURSE! The best person for the job would be… heh heh…"
"Who?!" Koizumi and Mikuru asked in unison.
Everyone seemed to zoom in on Haruhi's golden eyes. Please don't say it's the tortured Computer President… He's had it rough enough since Haruhi has shown up in this school.
"The President of the Computer Club!!" Haruhi exclaimed.
I gave an aggravated and worn-out groan.
But, without a doubt, Haruhi must be satisfied…
