Hey-yooooo~!!! This is my first fan-fic for the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, and it is for... I don't actually know her FanFic name, but her REAL name begins with X.... Okay, maybe it doesn't, but still! For now I'll just say that she is the TRUE Haruhi, I'm not kidding.

Disclaimer: I do not own The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, but I respect the people who do, because it is TOTALLY awesome.

People Change

Travel. Things change when you travel. One of your friends could get a hair cut, or another one of them could get a new obsession, but nothing really changed, just the small things. Itsuki had just been away in his Uncle's mansion for a few days for the golden leaf vacation, he was looking forward to seeing all his friends again, but for some reason he felt that Kyon didn't really like him that much, and he didn't really think Haruhi really liked him that much either, but he didn't really care, as long as things were going smoothly, he was happy. Being an ESPer really brightened his life up, he couldn't really remember the last time he wasn't smiling, even when he was fighting he had a grin on his face. He looked over the deck of the ferry and saw land, he was finally home.

He walked off the ferry and saw his friends waving at him. He grinned even more than he was before.

"ITSUKI!" Mikuru ran up to him a gave him a huge hug, "I missed you!" Itsuki laughed.

"I missed you all too!" Said Itsuki. Yuki gave him a nod then went back to her book.

"Koizumi, it REALLY hasn't been the same without you around, but I'm not sure if it was better or worse." Kyon patted him on the shoulder.

"Oh, you joker!" Itsuki smiled. Kyon raised his eyebrows and walked off.

"Itsuki! Good to see ya!" Haruhi beamed, "I've been trying film Mikuru by myself, because Yuki won't help me and Kyon is a bastard,"

"HEY!" Kyon yelled. Haruhi just rolled her eyes.

"Anyway, it's been really hard because Mikuru just whined whenever I asked her to do something! You're normally the camera guy, while I steer Mikuru in the right direction!"

"And what kind of things were you trying to get Miss. Asahina to do?" Itsuki asked.

"Yes. Why don't you tell him, Haruhi?" Said Kyon.

"That's in the past now, it doesn't matter any more! We have new films to shoot!" Haruhi grinned. Mikuru yelped from the distance, "Anyway, enough of this, lets go and have a celebratory lunch! Kyon's paying." Haruhi dragged Mikuru off, and Yuki followed. Kyon hit himself mentally in the face.

"Hey Kyon, how has Haruhi's emotion been?"

"Shouldn't you know? You get told some-how by that thing... Okay I give up. But you should know if a closed space opens up!"

"I was on vacation! Give me a break!"

"Okay fine, whatever, anyway, she was okay I suppose. She took me shopping a couple of times with Yuki and Mikuru, and it was kinda awkward with me being alone with three girls out clothes shopping, you know what I mean? And I had to wait while they were at the hot-springs for two hours, that was the most boring day of my life!"

"What I mean by how're her emotions, is, has she been upset at any point?"

"Oh right, well anyway, she's been okay I suppose. I kinda blew it with the whole emotion thing when I slapped her for what she had done to Mikuru,"

"YOU WHAT?!" Itsuki yelled.

"What? She was asking for it! She was just being so mean..."

"You idiot!! You physically hurt her!"

"Thanks captain obvious,"

"What are we going to do now?!" Itsuki rolled his eyes, "Look, we'd better follow them, but did you sort things out with her?" They started walking.

"Er, no, not that I can remember," Kyon shrugged.

"WILL YOU GUYS HURRY UP?!" Haruhi yelled from the distance.

And so the first chapter ends.
