I couldn't believe my eyes, the blue bird up close and it's shiny. Its voice sounded so angelic that I couldn't help but sing along to its song. No one really noticed over the noise of the movie though. When it flew away, a glimmering blue feather was left behind. I put it in my hair in hopes of it staying there for now.
"Where did you get that?" Koizumi asked.
"From a blue bird, it was the same one on the plane." I said.
"Really? I've never seen anything like it."
"Could the blue bird have something to do with us being here?"
"Maybe."
The first time I saw this blue bird was on a Sunday morning. It was in my backyard shining brighter than the sun's light and it flew away after I took a look at it (true story).
Once Haruhi was done shooting the scene, Kyon went to edit it under her demands. I feel for the poor guy, but if she loses her mind then this world will be in serious trouble. With the shooting done for the day, Tokuma and I venture around Japan. Before that though I say my goodbyes to the SOS Brigade.
"Thanks for letting me be a part of this Haruhi." I said taking a bow.
"No problem! I should be thanking you." She said glimmering with joy.
About time she thinks of someone other than herself. I think I should help her with that, don't you think? Deep down I know Haruhi can be sweet, but she tends to be selfish and kind of rude. I guess that what makes Haruhi, Haruhi.
"Where to next?" I asked.
"Let's get something to eat first." Tokuma suggested.
I don't know the name of the place we're eating at, but it sure has good food. The smells instantly made me hungry when we walked in. However, my mind couldn't escape thinking about Haruhi. Surely Tokuma was thinking the same way because if she loses control the world is in peril.
Our next stop was Joyoplis and just our luck Haruhi was there. It was a part of her list of things to do in the summer. Kyon, however, is busy editing the movie. The place was packed with people playing the games and buying stuff. Haruhi was trying one of the UFO catchers and failed to get an Alpaca.
"Let me try." I said putting in 100 yen.
I try once and fail. Then a few more and win it at last.
"Here you go." I said handing it to Haruhi.
"Uh, no! I don't except gifts." She said turning her head.
"Come on, he wants you."
Haruhi looks at the Alpaca I won for her and she finally warms up to receiving my gift. If I can get her to break out of her shell then maybe this world won't be on the edge of destruction. Tokuma loved the idea and decided to play games with her. Of course the ones Haruhi chooses.
Meanwhile, I try to win a Joyoplis Sonic plush to take home with me. It's not too far from where they are so it's no trouble. It costs 200 yen to play, but it's worth it. I end up winning one on my first try: watching others play these games made me a bit prepared.
"Tokuma, I won a Sonic!" I exclaimed.
"Nice, I lost!" She said laughing a little.
"I won: yay!" Haruhi cheered.
The more we played, the better her mood was. It felt good to do something for someone even if they aren't real. I think that's why I'm here: to do good things for others. When we came across a photo booth, Haruhi dragged us in. I didn't mind, I wanted to go anyway. When the photos were done, there was one with me and Tokuma while Haruhi was in the back giving us bunny ears or devil horns.
"That was fun!" I yelled with excitement.
"Yeah, it was even more fun with you two." Haruhi added.
"I second that." Tokuma said getting in between us.
When we got out, Kyon walked by and said that he finished editing the scene. It was almost 5:00 PM and we were all hungry so Haruhi prepared dinner for us. Quite unusual, but it's good. I'm glad she's warming up even though her selfish side still lives. The odd thing was: she sat next to me. Why not Kyon or the others? I'm not complaining, just curious as to why Haruhi would sit next to me.
"Is it good?" She asked.
"Yeah, I love it." I said smiling.
When it was 7:00 PM, Tokuma and I arrive at Miku's concert. She may be a hologram, but it was quite the experience to see such technology at work. Afterwards, the next few days consisted of us working for Haruhi on her movie. The streets of Tokyo were cleared all in the name of her project. Boy, were people not happy.
"Okay! This is where the final battle takes place!" Haruhi announced.
"This won't end well." I giggled.
Mikuru and Nagato begin battle sequence under Haruhi's commands. The poor officer (Mikuru) coward in fear a few times, but managed after twenty plus times. Now that the movie was done, Kyon went to edit the rest because Haruhi demanded it.
July was coming to a close and so was summer. That means school was coming back for the SOS Brigade. As for me and Tokuma, our vacation here was about over. Thankfully however, Kyon let us stay with him so we can find out what's going on.
"Nagato is on her way here: she says she has something to tell us." Kyon said.
When Yuki arrived, I felt an uneasy presence enter the room or maybe it entered me. Nevertheless, I had the feeling something terrible was about to happen.
