Chapter 4: John Smith
Haruhi Suzumiya spotted the woman with the blonde curly hair following her out of the dress shop. She followed her all the way to the train station and as she and her friends parted way she saw her looking at her. Haruhi decided to take another way home just in case she was trying to follow her her home. Taking the long way lead her to the park. Haruhi was almost home when she spotted her fiancée, her best friend, a weird guy in a bow tie next to a big blue box, two old friends and an old school mate that hadn't seemed to age all holding weapons at each other.

"Haruhi?" I said.
"Why do you have a toy gun pointed at Koizumi." Haruhi asked.
I could see how she could see the gun as a toy but how is that her most prominent question? "You're not interested in why Koizumi has a gun pointed to my head?"
"That's a toy too isn't? You can't have real guns in Japan."
"By the way were did you get that anyway?" Koizumi asked throwing a look at the blaster in his gut. At least he's paying attention to the weapon pointed at him.
"My pocket."
"Isn't too big to fit in that pocket?"
"His pockets seem to be transdimensional transcendent." Asakura grinned ear to ear.
"Oh it's another dimension. That explains why I got the strangest feeling when ever he wore that coat."
"I think we were in the middle of something." I tell them. We really have to figure out what we're going to tell Haruhi.
"Right you're are Kyon." Asakura gave me a smile that sent shiver up my spine.
"What are you talking about?" Haruhi asked.
That must have been what Asakura was waiting for because she managed to push Yuki away and with a flick of her wrist she plunges her knife into my side. As I drop the blaster and begin to fall backwards I see Haruhi, I've never seen her so scared in my life. I hit the ground I see Asakura twirl in delight with the knife in her hand covered in my blood sprinkle it around. She stops as a blast from Asahina's gun hits her in the shoulder and before she can react Yuki pierces Asakura with my sword. Koizumi held up the gun to be met with the Doctor screwdriver that with a whirl caused the gun to fall apart. Haruhi calls out my names as she runs to me. Asakura pushed Nagato away pulling the sword out of her, blood flows out of her for a second before her wound seals up. The enemy interface runs forwards only for the Doctor to point the screwdriver in her face.
As the device lets out a loud whirl I can hear him mutter, "Let's disrupt that connection to the entity." Asakura winces in pain and she falls over. "Get him into the Tardis."
Haruhi clings to me as Yuki and the Doctor pull me up and help me carry me into the Tardis. As am placed on the floor of the Tardis I see Asakura rushing towards us like a bull elephant. The Doctor snaps his fingers and the door close.
"Ha!" He shouts and then realizes that the door's aren't fully close as the cable connected to his device is keeping it open.
Asakura simply pushes the door smiles, a smile that otherwise would bring joy to anyones day, as she come to try and kill me.
Before she can take a step in Haruhi punches her in the face knocking her on her rear end. "You bitch!" Never get Haruhi angry.
Asakura begins speaking one of her incantations. The Doctor grabs the cable and yanks his device in and closes the door making sure to lock the door. The Doctor runs towards the console and begins to pull on the levers.
"Kyon." Haruhi says her voice weak as she sit next to me. She takes my hand. "You're going to be okay. Just hang in there. You're going to be okay."
"Yes, you will be." Yuki places her hand on my wound. Her mouth begins to move at an impossible rate. A faint glow come off my wound as it begins to close. The wound seals and Yuki slumps down as if she just ran a marathon.
"Yuki?" Haruhi asks.
"Hold on!" The Doctor yells. "She messed with the dematerialization circuit so we're going to have to do this the difficult way."
The entire Tardis begins to shake as the Doctor wildly worked the console.
0000
Asakura stares at the box. "I have disabled the dematerialization circuit. They cannot leave."
The large blue box begins to spin wildly as it rises into the sky.
"How's that even possible?" Koizumi said as he saw the box vanish into the night sky.
"That should be impossible." Asakura admitted as her wounds heal. "That box was aerodynamically unable to fly. We don't have enough data on the timelords or their technology."
The Tardis technology is well known to travel through the time vortex and not well known that they could fly through normal space, it just wasn't something that happened often.
They quickly turned their attention to the stunned time traveler.
"Mikuru Asahina?" Asakura asked.
The images of seeing the interface slashing at Kyon, sight she's seen too many times this week, flashing in her mind threatening to break her mind. Asahina shudders and takes a step away from the smiling girl. She raises her blaster the interface but before she can even think of pulling the trigger the blaster turns into to dust.
"You have no reason to fear her." Koizumi calmly tells her.
"SHE JUST STABBED KYON!" Mikuru yells at him.
Still smiling she shrugs. "Old habits."
"I am going to assume that you're superiors sent you here to deal with Miss Suzumiya."
"Yes." Asahina admitted reluctantly.
"They sent you back with a weapons it seems, I take it that their orders weren't the peaceful variety." Asahina only looked at him. "I don't think your organization cares about Kyon or Miss Nagato so that really leave one choice."
Asakura picked up Kyon's blaster letting it crumble into dust before turning to the time traveler.
"I do not believe you are capable of killing anyone." Koizumi explained to the scared time traveler. " I noticed how you only fired on Miss Asakura and only after she attacked Kyon, what would you say if I had a plan to let you save Kyon? For the Date Overmind to get the key to evolution? To make sure that Miss Suzumiya no longer troubles anyone?"
She was suspicious. "But what do you get out of this?"
"All in due time." He told her. "If you wish to join us we must get to work. I don't believe we have much time before Suzumiya becomes aware of what she really is. I don't detect any new closed spaces I wonder what could be preventing them." He looked up into the sky.
The question was on the mind of the time traveler and the alien neither with a clear answer. Asahina had hoped that she might still be able to convince Kyon to change his mind but if the Doctor was there then events that she had no record about did happen and the alien would turn him against her. She had to take this chance to save Kyon.
After hearing Koizumi's plan Asahina regrettably agreed and they made their way and began to put their plan into effect.

I know the Doctor has never been the best at driving the Tardis but you'd think nine hundred years of flying this thing it would be somewhat steady.
"Brace yourself for impact." He yells a second before the room shakes as the Tardis crashes. "Everyone all right?"
"I am well." Yuki mutters.
I place my hand over where Asakura stabbed me to find no trace of the cut. It's still a little sore but considering the recovery time it's nothing to complain about. "I'm fine too."
"Oh good." The Doctor sighs. "That's good."
"What the Hell is going on?" Haruhi yells remind us that she's here too. We freeze hearing her in the Tardis. "Why were you pointing weapons at each other? How did Yuki do that thing? Why did Ryoko Asakura stab you? How did she survive Yuki stabbing her?" She points at my sword that Yuki discarded and has blood all over it. "Why is that guy wearing a bow tie?" She point at the Doctor. "How this box bigger on the inside?" I was hoping she didn't notice that with me getting stabbed. Then I notice it in her eyes, fear, there are tears in her eyes. She was really worried about me. I kiss and hug her. Tears form in her eyes ready to stream out. "Don't try to distract me, Kyon." She hugs me back her voice weak. "You still have to tell me what's going on."
I turn to the others for the Timelord to tell me, "It's time." Yuki nods in agreement.
I look Haruhi in the eyes. I had hoped that this time would never come. I've imagine how this might happen a million times in my head. I need her to listen to me and believe me, I wish she'd just believe me since it was me but I know I need a little more. "Haruhi, I need you to listen to me." She nods. "When you were in middle school one Tanabata you snuck into the school to write a message on the field. You weren't alone there. A high schooler with a sleeping girl on his back was there too. You made him write out your message on the field. I know you never told anyone about him. When you asked him his name he gave you a fake name. He told you his name was John Smith." Her eyes widen in recognition of the events as I describe them. "This is going to be the part that will be hard for you to believe but please believe me." I take a deep breath and gather all my courage. "Haruhi, I'm John Smith."
She looks me in the eyes her expression deadly serious. "I know that and your friend is the Doctor. That still doesn't explain Yuki or Ryoko Asakura."
"Wait what?" I yell.
"What?" The Doctor asks.
"What?" I repeat.
"I know you're John Smith." Haruhi says like it's nothing at all, that's my ace in the hold gone. "Seriously, why is he wearing a bow tie?"
"Bow ties are cool!" The Doctor defends his clothes choice.
"Wait you know I'm John Smith?"
"Yes," Haruhi nods to me and the two aliens surprise. "I've known for sometime."
"How?" Is my simple question.
Haruhi smiles clearly enjoying my confusing. "I'll tell you but you guy have to answer my questions too."
"Sure." I tell her, it's not like I was not going to answer them anyway.
"It started the first day I met you. I thought you looked and sounded like John Smith that's why I asked you if I had met you before." Oh I can't believe I didn't catch that. Leave it to Haruhi to remember something like that. "Then you said nope. It's how you said it, you were certain about it. I have always believed I could spot a lie when I heard it." Not touching that one. "You weren't lying. So I just shook it off. But then you kept talking to me. Everyday you would start to talk to me. I didn't think much of it. I just talked to you because you took the time to get to know me. Every once in a while I would see you say or do something that would remind me of John especially the first Tanabata with the Brigade, you had this look that reminded me so much of him. Then you kissed me. You seemed different more open with me. I just couldn't see you lying to me. Then we started dating and everything and I didn't care if were John or not I was happy being with you. You understood me and made me happy and I got to know you. Then there was this day...
0000
It was after one of the Brigades searches and I had to find a birthday present for my mom. It took me longer to find than I thought and by the time I found it was already dark. I headed back to the train station I saw him, I saw Kyon. He was wearing that weird black coat. He does not see me and he's heading to the train station. Curious I followed him and see him buy a ticket, not on one of the local train, for train out of town. He wasn't carrying any luggage so he wasn't taking a trip and if he was going anywhere he'd tell me. He takes out a book and starts to read it, I'm not sure what it is just that it has a picture of a pocket watch on it. I get a ticket for myself and wait and watch. I eventually follow him onto the train and watch him. He keep reading that book and eventually he gets off in the middle of Tokyo.
I make sure to keep my distance. I'm not sure what's going on but Kyon looks like he's determined. Then I see in the middle of the crowd a handsome man with a great blue coat. He smiles looking at Kyon.
He sounds American and he greets Kyon with open arms and a smile. "Good to see you again, Kyon." He says in Japanese.
"Good to see you too, Jack." Kyon greets him in English. I mean I've always been good in English class but Kyon sound like he's speaking it for years.
They share a quick hug before this strange Jack says, "You look younger than I remember."
"Does it matter? Will it stop you from flirting with me?"
"I can wait until you're older."
"Well, you're going to have to wait for the rest of your very long life." Jack laughs at that before Kyon says. "Let's just talk English, your accent in Japanese is terrible."
They make their way to a small restaurant in the station. Making sure they don't see me I get a booth near them with my back to them. I don't understand all that they are saying, some words don't make sense, Weevils, Police Boxes,rifts, Torchwood and Doctor.
"So, " Jack Begins. "I guess I can't recruit you for this Torchwood."
"No, I have enough trouble in my ordinary life that I don't have to go looking for them."
"How about when you're older?"
"Don't think so."
"It's the girl you told me about."
"Haruhi."
"It's going to be trouble if you stay around her."
"I know and I accept it if it means I get to be with her."
"You really care about her?"
"I love her." I knew what those words meant. He'd told me that before but know he sounded so serious and confident, it made my heart skip a beat.
"I'm happy for you." Jack tells him. "I really am. Though I kinda expected it. So here's what you asked for." He hands Kyon a black duffle bag.
"Thanks."
They continue talking but I make my way out before they can spot me. I don't know what is happening but Kyon is definitely part of something bigger but I don't seem to care. He said he loved me to someone else and that just seems more real, that he's willing to fight for us. I make my way home.

"Ignoring how you followed me," I ask Haruhi. "it still doesn't explain how you knew I'm John Smith or about the Doctor."
"I knew there was something different about you and you were keeping it a secret from me. I couldn't help thinking about how looked like John Smith, or what I could remembered John looked in the dark, but I was sure you weren't lying to me. And I didn't think you were lying to me just to lie to me it like you were trying to protect me. So I let it be because of that. Then we moved in together and you would do something weird every once in a while. Like going to that storage Unit you think I don't know about." I face palm hearing that and the Doctor chuckles. "Then I found that book under your side of the bed. I did think it was weird you were hiding it from me, it wasn't porn or anything. It was that same book with the pocket watch on it."
"The Journal of Impossible Things by Verity Newman."
"That's the one. It was in English so it was hard to read." That's the way I planned it. "So I got one in Japanese." I didn't think about that. "I read the book and it was about this Alien called the Doctor that's when I remembered you introduced this guy called the Doctor to me once. That's when it hit, in the center of the book it had these sketches of this guy. Ten pictures of a man that the book said were the same person that traveled in a blue box. One of the pictures looked just like the man you introduced me to. I mean what are the odd that the guy looks just like a sketch in the book. Plus the book said he was a time traveler. I searched the internet looking for Doctor and Blue Box. I found all sort of things. One picture really stood out to me, this picture of the Doctor with the Beatles and there was a guy that looked just like you. That's when I figured it out you were John Smith, you didn't lie to me because you hadn't become John Smith when I asked you, you hadn't time travel to that Tanabata yet."
"Damn." I mutter. She got somethings wrong but she's right too.
"I have to get Mickey to use that virus to get me off the internet.' The Doctor notes. "We'll the secrets out." He pull a lever. "Kyon." He motions towards the door. I help Haruhi up and lead her to the door. I throw one glance to get reassuring look from the Doctor.
Pushing the door open we're shown the grey landscape below the dark star filled sky with the Earth hanging above.
Haruhi's eyes widen and her face breaks out into a smile.
"Haruhi, welcome to the Universe."
Haruhi takes a step out of the Tardis. The Doctor and Yuki are looking at the scanner on the Tardis to see if anything goes wrong.
"That's the Earth."
"Yes, we're on the Moon."
"How are we breathing?"
"An oxygen shield has been extended around the Tardis."
Haruhi runs around the Tardis twice before running back into it. "This thing is really bigger on the inside! And you're really the Doctor. You really do change your face."
"Sometimes." The Doctor shrugs. "It's not like I do it on purpose."
"So what are you and Kyon some sort of secret time protectors or something?"
"Yes or something or maybe both."
Closing the doors I say, "We usually just traveled try to have fun."
"Well that is usually the plan." The Doctor says.
"Then we end up saving time or a planet or a civilization from a monster or something."
"Ten years of that, lasted longer than anyone else."
"Ten years?" Haruhi shouts. "You were traveling with him for ten years. You were doing that when you were in high school? What after brigade meeting you'd run to this blue box and travel through time?"
Not really.
"She's called the Tardis." The Doctor explains. "Time And Relative Dimension in Space."
"Best ship in the Universe." I added.
"Quiet so, trust her to the ends of the Universe."
"And we've been."
"Four times."
"Great dinner there."
"You've been to the end of Universe and you never told me?" Haruhi asks.
"You never told me you knew I was John Smith."
"I thought you knew. When you proposed to me you wrote on the field. I thought it was your way of telling me without telling me."
That would have been brilliant if I had thought of it and not just sort of stumbled onto it.
"So what do you have to do with all of this, Yuki?" Haruhi turning her attention to the silent girl. "How did you do that thing?"
Yuki looks over to me and I give her a reassuring nod. "I am an Artificial Humanoid Interface created by the Data Overmind. The Data Overmind has no means to communicate with humans." Yuki then goes onto her long winded speech that I've heard before about the entity and the purpose of finding the key to auto evolution. How she was sent to observe and could not reveal her identity to her. Yuki is clearly skipping out the detail that the entity thinks Haruhi is this key. I see the Doctor playing with the button on the scanner clearly trying to detect something and he's not finding it. That's good isn't? If he's looking for it that means Haruhi's powers aren't going nuts.
Yuki finishes leaving Haruhi bewildered but she seems to have gotten more from it than I did when I first heard that speech. "So, Yuki, Asakura was always one of these interfaces?" Yuki nods. "I always thought she was too perky. But were Mikuru and Koizumi doing there?"
I fill in this one. I explain that Koizumi was an esper and Asahina is a time traveler. Haruhi takes it better than I expected.
"So you all had something I was looking for but no one told me?"
"Yes, a conversation that is best dealt with in private while sitting down." The Doctor interjects. "Kyon take Haruhi somewhere, show her around the Tardis. I need to work on the dematerialization circuit."
"Yeah, you're right." I admit I have been keeping a lot of things from Haruhi and I have to be the one to tell her. I take her hand and lead her away.
0000
As soon as the couple leave the Doctor turns the knobs frantically on the Tardis screen. An image of Haruhi appears.
"The Tardis still detects some sort of energy from her but the world hasn't gone all wacky." The Doctor explained.
Yuki turns to him. "I do not detect any data being created."
"Yes! Shouldn't something be happening? We all expected that something happen when Haruhi finds out about aliens."
"Haruhi Suzumiya is impossible to predict."
"It seems that way." The Doctor ponders. "We'll have to figure that one later. Right now we have to fix the Tardis." Sparks shot out of the console.
"Quickly." Yuki says in her usual monotone.
At the park after everyone left two figures entered the park.
"Are you sure this is the spot?" One asks the other.
"Yes, we have to get this spot just like we got the other Tardis landing spots."
They begin to paint large symbols on the ground.
Leading Haruhi past the hallway that gets sticky when you walk near it. We make our way to my room Haruhi keeps asking me things.
"How did he get this place inside a little box?"
"It's a different dimension. Using tesseract technology the dimensions of the box confine pocket dimension so once you enter the threshold you enter this dimension."
"I see." She nods, does she actually get it because it took five years to understand that. "Are there actually Martians?"
"Yes, they're called the Ice Warriors. They're nice most of the time."
"I knew it." I hate that she so many of her random guesses are right. "What's the Doctor's species?"
"The Timelords."
"That sounds so cool! Can we meet his people?"
I stop. "No."
"Why not?"
"The Doctor is the last one. There was a war and his entire planet burned and he was the only survivor of the war."
She stares at me for a second trying to wrap her mind around what I just told her. "Oh. So I guess he's pretty lonely."
"He used to be a lot more but he seems to have gotten over his survivors guilt but you can't really get over something like that, not really." It hard to imagine loosing your whole family and everyone you ever knew and your home all at once. I think that why the Doctor is goofy this time around he can't because then he'd have to face it.
"So if you two aren't some sort of group why are you friends?"
"Something happened and he needed help so I helped him. I helped protect him and keep him company and he did what he could to protect me and he showed me the Universe. We ran. We ran so far and so fast. We saw so much and then he brought me back here."
"Why did you come back? It sounds like it would have been more fun to travel with him."
"I had something better for me waiting for me at home." I smile at her.
"That's pretty corny." She says blushing.
We reach my old room and closing the door behind us. I toss my coat over over a nearby chair as Haruhi starts going though my things.
"You have a guitar? You told me you didn't know how to play any instruments."
"I had time in between the trips with the Doctor to learn. The Beatles are surprisingly good teachers." She's staring at me and it takes me a moment to see why. Without my coat on the tear in my shirt surrounded by blood can be seen. "Sorry." I take off the shirt and grab for the first one I can find.
Haruhi grabs me and let's her hand stroke my skin. "There really isn't any- any thing. No cut."
"Yuki does wonders."
"Yuki? You're calling her Yuki now?"
"She said I could. I mean we have known each other for a long time." She's doing that cute pouting thing. "Are you jealous?"
"No. It's just you and Yuki have been keeping secret from me and maybe I'm wondering why?"
"I only kept these secret's from you because I had to. This was the only way to protect you and because I promised the others. I did tell you the others were aliens, time travelers and espers. Remember? That time in the cafe when we were the only ones to show up for the search. I thought about telling you about the Doctor but if you didn't believe me I told you about them I didn't think you'd believe me."
She moved closer to me. "You're right." She lets her hands snake around my neck. "I should listen to you more often. If I did then maybe..."
"It's okay. I'm used to you not listing to me."
"You know I love you."
"I know, I love you too."
A mischievous grin spread across her face, such a grin would make any cat jealous, on Haruhi its a sign of of absolute joy filled with nothing but energy. So why is this smile making me so scared?"
Haruhi grabs me throws me onto the bed before jumping on me.
"Haruhi?"
She kisses me before she says, "We're in a time traveling space ship on the moon. There is something I always wanted to do on a space ship and you're the one I want to do it with."
"You don't mean..."
"We can have our honey moon on the actual moon."
"We can't have our honey moon until we're married."
"Stop spoiling my fun." She pressed herself against me and starts kissing me again.

Taniguchi is in his apartment working on his best man's speech for Kyon and Haruhi's wedding, he hasn't been asked to be best man but he knows its only a matter of time. So sitting on a couch in the apartment he shares with Kunikida he works diligently.
Then there is a knock on the door. He gets up and opens the door.
"What do you want?"
"Well that's a rude way to greet someone."
"What do you want kid." He looked at the teenaged girl in a sailors school uniform. It took him a minute to notice that the uniform was from his old high school and that the girl with the long blue hair looked familiar. "Do I know you?"
She almost frowned. "Taniguchi, you don't remember me?"
It took him another minute before he remembered the name and his jaw fell in shock. "Ryoko Asakura? You don't look like you've aged a day. How's that even possible?"
Before he could ask another question her hand reached for his forehead letting her finger taps on it. Then he falls to the ground asleep. The interface watches him for a moment.

With her parent's off visiting some of her relatives she's at home alone. They're getting all her aunts, uncles and the many cousins she and her brother have ready to come for the wedding next week. After having to get her dress fitted she really didn't have anything to do. So now she sits on the couch watching some TV. The house cat Shamisen cuddles up next to her signaling her to scratch his ear.
The teenaged girl about to when she hears a knock on the door. She gets up to open the door. Opening the door she finds a handsome young man with a smile on his face, she also sees a black car behind him with the motor running.
Recognizing him she ask, "Aren't you Kyon's friend from High school?" She recognizes his smile.
"Yes, I am" He smiles at her, her brother always seemed annoyed by him and for some reason his smile scares her this time.
"Are you looking for him? He hasn't lived here since he went to college."
"Actually I'm here for you."
She takes a step back hearing her cat hiss at their visitor.
0000
Tsuruya giggles. Not something unusual but the cause of the giggles happen to be her boyfriend kissing her.
"Kida." Tsuruya giggles.
"Did I do something wrong?" Kunikida asks flustered.
"Nope." Tsuruya answers smiling at her boyfriends cute blush.
They're watching a movie at Tsuruya's large house when they started to kiss. She loves Kunikida's sweet nature and she loves seeing him fluttered because she thinks he's cute like that. He smiles at her something she really loves about him, his smile, she always liked making people smile but she especially likes his smile.
She's about to kiss him again when his eyes goes blank and he fall onto her bosom. "Kida?" She lifts his head and pokes his face. "Kunikida?" He doesn't wake up. "Huh? You don't usually fall asleep until afterwards."
She carefully lays him down on couch thinking about calling an ambulance.
"You and Kunikida?" A voice says behind the green haired girl. "I never expected it."
Turning behind her she sees the source of the voice.
She says someone she hasn't seen for a long time.
"Mikuru?"
"Hello Tsuruya."
"Mikuru!" Tsuruya broke into a smile. "I haven't seen you in so long! Look at how much you've changed! Did your boobs get bigger?" Asahina gave a small laughed hearing that. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm sorry."
"Sorry for what?"
"Sorry for this."
Before Tsuruya could say another word she found herself getting very sleepy and she fell next to her boyfriend.
Asahina looked down at the sleeping couple. She didn't want either of them hurt and she felt terrible for putting them through this. They seemed happy together and she got comfort that at least they were happy.

I didn't get a lot of sleep after me and Haruhi... you know. It doesn't help that the bed is a little small for two people and I can feel her elbow in my side. Wait is she sitting up?
"Stop muttering, if you're up be up."
I open my eyes to see Haruhi naked. It's not something I haven't seen I mean we are getting married and she's never been big on modesty and I mean we are alone in the room but the fact that she not wearing anything except that that yellow ribbon. What surprises me is that she's reading something.
"What are you reading?" I don't even have to ask her. I can tell what it is. "Is that my old journals?"
"Yeah, I found them in your desk." She pulls it away as I reach for it. "You met Da Vinci? Is that where you learned to draw?" She show off my sketch book. "You drew pictures of all of us. Here is one of the old Doctor, me, Mikuru, Yuki, your sister, some sort of robot dog." I grab the book away from her. "Hey I wanted that?"
"Why didn't you just ask me before looking through my old stuff?" it's not like I wouldn't have given to her, I never mention her or the others in my journals so no fear of finding out what she is without me telling her. "You were still asleep and I didn't want to wake you so I just started to look through the things. I found these and look at all the stuff you did." I can't help but love that smile on her. She lays down inching her way between my arms. "I always knew you were special but now I have the proof."
That's probably the nicest thing she's ever told me." Did the others know you traveled with the Doctor? Now of your journals say anything about them but they were aliens time travelers too."
"No, I never told anything of the Doctor. It would have been hard to explain the whole thing especially with the time loop."
"Even keeping secrets from them? Wait if they didn't know about the Doctor what is Yuki doing here?" So I explain to her about the Entity turning on Yuki. "Yuki is in danger? Why didn't you tell me sooner?" She jumps out of bed and makes her way to the door. "If Yuki needs helps then I'm going to help."
"Great spirit but can you put some clothes on the Doctor tend to blush."
So after getting dresses, something you'd think Haruhi would remember, we make our way to the console. The Tardis doors seems to be open so we go to it. Before we go outside we find my sword but it looks clean, not even a trace of blood, I guess Yuki or the Doctor cleaned it for me. So I tuck the sword into my pocket and step outside.
We find the Doctor and Yuki sitting next to a table filled with food. The air shield seems to be in full effect.
"Good morning you two." The Doctor greets us like he were a manager of a bed and breakfast.
"You made breakfast." Haruhi sits down on a chair and starts helping herself to the food. "We're going to have breakfast on the Moon." The excitement in her voice is more than evident.
"I thought you'd might enjoy it."
I don't think the Doctor knew what to cook since the food seems to be breakfast food from at least six cultures and not all of the from Earth.
Yuki is eating maybe not a lot of food but she is certainly eating it fast.
Haruhi is looking up at the dark sky above and at our home hanging above us. "It's morning in Japan right now."
I can barely make out the small group of islands on that small blue world drifting in the endless blackness.
"Bit pretentious don't you think?" The Doctor comments on what I assume to be my narration that I do in my head.
"What?" Haruhi asks.
"Just something Kyon thought."
"You can hear thoughts?"
"Well, Kyon's. I try not to make a habit out of it but after spending so much time together and with the Tardis own telepathic field I kinda just started to eves drop on his thoughts when he's near."
"So what is he thinking now?"
I glare at the timelord that doesn't seem to know when to shut up.
"He wants me to shut up."
This received the expected laugh from Haruhi and curious look from Yuki.
Haruhi turns her attention to the silent book worm. "Yuki, Kyon told me that that Entity that you worked for turned on you, why?"
Yuki looked at her. "The Data Overmind grew tired of waiting for the production of new Data. It had ordered me to terminate him in order to stop him from prevent the formation of new data. I refused and it brought back the unit known as Ryoko Asakura to terminate me and carry out the mission."
"Wait, they wanted Kyon dead and you said no?"
"Yes." Yuki gives a solemn nod.
"That's why you needed help because Asakura was attacking you? Because you were protecting him?"
"Yes."
Haruhi hugs her. "Thank you so much Yuki. For a second I can swear that I see a faint blush on Yuki's usually pale cheeks and maybe a small smile. "I promise you Yuki I don't know how much help I'm going to be but I'm going to help."
"Thank you."
"Oh that's sweet." The Doctor says. "But what do you mean? You got that whole weird power thing her boss wants to study."
"What power?" Haruhi shots a glance at the Doctor.
"You didn't tell her?" He shots at me.
"I hadn't gotten around to it." I explain.
"Why didn't you? You two obviously didn't get much sleep last night so what were you doing?"
"..."
Me and Haruhi trade looks for a moment after which the Doctor's face goes slack when he realizes what we were busy with.
I hear him mutter. "Humans you're just like rabbits." I face palm.
I slowly explain everything to Haruhi. The reason for time travelers, espers and aliens being around her, the endless summer, the cave cricket, the mountain trip and eventually the dream.
"Wait! That dream..." Haruhi finds it hard to keep going. "I was trying to change the world... and at the end when..."
"Yeah, I kissed you."
Okay, how she going to react to this. "Kyon! Don't enter my dreams!"
"You're the one that pulled me in." Then my phone starts to ring.
"You're getting reception on the moon?"
"It's been upgraded." I throw a glance at the Doctor before opening it up. "Hello."
"Hello Kyon." I hear the voice of Ryoko Asakura.
