The club meeting, for the most part, went normally. Mikuru had changed into her maid costume that Haruhi had picked out for her and was now brewing everyone tea. Nagato was in her usual corner, reading a book on physics that was so complicated no high school girls should be able to decipher it. Haruhi was sitting in her chair with her feet up on the desk and a pencil in her mouth. Her eyes were wandering around the room as she looked as bored as ever.

Koizumi, on the other hand, was deep in thought. Kyon knew this was never a good sign. He hadn't even offered to play Othello or any other strategy game against him. The combination of her boredom and his spacing out most definitely meant trouble for Kyon, and he knew it.

He decided that the best thing to do in this situation is to ignore it. He himself then zoned out staring at Mikuru.

The clubroom was still for a couple of minutes, this was a rare occurrence. It went back to its usual distraught reality when Koizumi returned to earth and got up. He walked over to Nagato and leaned in to whisper something in her ear.

"Did you not sense a strange anomaly floating around the school today, Miss Nagato?"

"Yes." She said out loud, not taking her eyes off of her book.

"What do you suppose we do about it?" Koizumi asked, but before she was able to respond, Haruhi sprang up from her chair. This caused Kyon to jump and Mikuru to spill her tea.

"Mikuru, I'm promoting you."

"Ummm w-why is that Miss Su-Suzumiya."

"You are doing a good job as our mascot, but I'm promoting you to the more worthy title of super mascot!" Haruhi said as she threw her hands in the air, causing Mikuru to flinch. "That means that you get to play the part of the giant candy heart when we celebrate Valentine's Day next week!"

Everyone stared at Haruhi, absorbing everything she just said. Mikuru then sighed in relief. A giant candy heart was not the most ridiculous thing Haruhi had her dress up as, and it is a relief for her to tone down the moe scale a notch.

"Valentine's Day?" Kyon asked.

"Yeah, the American tradition. We learned about it the other day, were you totally asleep or something? Shesh how stupid are you?" Haruhi said.

"I'm fully aware of what it is, I'm just curious as to how we're going to celebrate it."

"Well let's see," Haruhi started looking around the room. "we'll start with Koizumi. He can ask me out. And Kyon, you can ask Yuki out."

"Out to what?"

"Our party! Have you listened to a word I said?"

Kyon looked at Nagato, who for a moment, glanced up from her book and looked at Kyon. He forced a half-smile before she looked back down and continued on reading.

"I guess it'll have to happen on the exact date for it to be official, right? Well anyway, I'll make of list of everything we need and bring it in tomorrow. Dismissed." Haruhi said as she ran out of the clubroom.

"Wait!" Koizumi said. Haruhi turned around to look at him. "Will you go with me to the SOS Brigade Valentine's Day party?"

At this, Haruhi smiled. "Why sure Itsuki. Kyon, you should take a hint. See you Koizumi, make sure to pick me up on time." She said as she winked and walked away.

Kyon then shrugged off everything that just happened and started to leave the clubroom. He was followed by Koizumi.

"Um," Koizumi started to say. Kyon turned around and looked at him. "Oh, never mind." He said as he started to walk away. He turned around, "Well, I'll see you then."
