Ah yes, the joys of being an adult. Bills, knowing you're getting old, and the soon to come pains in certain parts of your body. So what makes the experience worth it? Marriage. Marriage is the one thing that can turn a grumbling man into the happiest person on Earth. Well, assuming he marries well.

"Honey? Are you in the living room?"

"Yes dear, just watching some dribble on TV. As if there's anything to watch anymore."

Oh that? You're all wondering who my spouse is aren't you? I bet you are. Well get ready for it.

As I skipped through channels, my loving wife sat next to me on the couch, watching my finger hit the skip button every few seconds.

"You look bored." She snuggled up to me, laying her head in my chest.

"Yeah, nothing is good on anymore."

"I bet if I was on TV you'd be glued to the TV."

"Hey, I get private viewing."

She rubbed her nose against mine and giggled. "Do you remember our marriage Kyon?"

I began to think for a bit. Hey, I'm not terrriable for forgetting my own marriage. I'm just a bit forgetful. It's not easy to remember a marriage when you've went through a good couple of years of stress to get to where I'm at now.

I looked over and smiled at her. "Indeed I do, my beautiful brigade chief."

Surprised? You shouldn't be. It was all in the book afterall. Although despite my future being decided for me, like something off the Middle Ages, it was actually a good choice, despite what I may have assumed before.

"Oh, you know we stopped doing the whole SOS Brigade once we got out of school."

I chuckled at her. "Haruhi, you do know that your odd nature was passed on to our daughter right? There's no way we're ever gonna hear the last of the SOS Brigade. Though now it doesn't make a lot of sense calling it that, since you aren't the leader anymore."

Haruhi seemed to only chuckle and wave her finger. "Nonsense, I'm still the original Brigade Leader. As long as I'm still around, the name still stands."

That's Haruhi for you. Even as a grown woman, she still acts like the world revolves around her. Then again she is a God so, she gets away with it. Imagine me telling that to all my best friends.

"So Kyon, you stalled for enough time. Do you remember how we eventually got married?"

It seems my stalling was for the good of my health, for I did finally get the image in my head. "Oh yes, I remember. In fact, I remember that day when I realised you'd be the one, of course I never expected it to say so in a book."

[Present]

I was sitting in my room still, spending the last day of my weekend thinking about what I had seen in that book. Haruhi and myself, were meant to be. And not some of that mushy junk you see on television, I mean literally, meant to be. As in you're given a list a names, and whoever you draw out becomes your wife. When I thought about getting married someday, I didn't think it'd be chosen for me. Based on what Koizumi told me, it seemed to be the only way to keep Haruhi from getting bored. Eventually our adventures would cease once high school ended, and then the world would be erased. I had to get her by that time, or we'd all be doomed.

I had just gotten ready and finally headed out. When I arrived at the school, I noticed Haruhi looking a bit startled to see me. I normally find her looking out the window, possibly thinking of me while she waits for me to arrive. But this time, she looked almost scared. Did I do something wrong? I don't know.

She eventually spoke out as I sat down. "K-Kyon?"

I turned around to look her in the eyes, which had an almost close sense of dread, but not entirely so. "Yes? Are you alright Haruhi?"

"Y-yes, I'm fine. But I was wondering if, you were?"

"Well of course, just another day for me. Why? Something on your mind?"

She paused for a minute, trying to form the right words to say. I wonder if she saw that book.

"No, nothing at all just, thinking. I need to keep the SOS Brigade active, or we'd be disgraced to call ourselves a club."

"Alright then." And then I turned around, without another word.

She was lying.
