Happy Birthday to Meh! Happy Birthday to meh! Happy Birthday to myself! Happy birthday to meh! It's mah boywfday, and also exactly a year since the 3rd chapter of Runaway Otaku, when the most important item of the entire series first showed up, and a possible future story... I will not tell. Well, I'm pretty much in tears right now, because the thing that got me started here on is over. A year ago I was looking for something to do with Lucky Star, because I had finished watching the show, but I wanted more than that. The first thing on the list of Google searches was Lucky Star FanFiction Archives/FanFiction. I clicked on it, thinking maybe it had something interesting. I saw that there were TONS of stories, but out of simplicity, I clicked the one on top, which happened to be Lucky Life: We're in College Oh Joy, (Coincidentally I searched up Lucky Star Stories, and clicked the first link, and the current top story is Lucky Life: We're in College, Oh Joy Revised, almost exactly like it was a year ago.) I read a bit of the A/N, and I found out I was one story ahead and went back and read It Started With Her Birthday, all the way up to the current update at the time. Well back to the present and out of that flashback. I'm noticing that all of my stories are rising in popularity. Not only Love is War has been getting more reviews than before, and even Runaway Otaku is getting a bit more attention than it used to get, but also The War Inside My Head is growing in popularity too over on the Haruhi Suzumiya series section of . (believe me with how many members update on that section, it's VERY difficult to get popular.) Also Quarter Life is getting a bit more popular too. Apparently my fellow HL2 lovers like my story! Lastly, some people asked me to post what I had gotten at Image Anime Co. Limited in NYC! Well I was ORIGINALLY planning on getting a Tsukasa figure, and maybe some Lucky Star manga, because my bookstore doesn't have it, but not only did the store NOT sell Manga like I had hoped (I guess Anime in the title doesn't include Manga), but I found something BETTER. I was looking through the movies when I came across the Haruhi Suzumiya Collection as a part of the Anime Legends collection, a collection of the greatest anime shows of Japan, and I was going to buy it, but I finally saw it. The Lucky Star Complete Collection! What I had originally thought it would be was a box set of stuff. It turned out to be One DVD case, including 6 DVD's of EVERY episode of Lucky Star, Key Scene's Galleries, Trailers, promotions, and featured clips, and the most hilarious part, The Adventures of Minoru Shiraishi! It's a bunch of clips of Minoru and the other people that filmed with him going around doing things for the Lucky Star series. Unfortunately, I only JUST had enough for the DVD, and I couldn't get a Tsukasa Figurine like I had wanted. T_T Well now to end this EXTREMELY LONG A/N, I hope you enjoy!

Kyon woke up once again, this time his head was pounding, it felt like someone was banging cymbals on his head. He looked around but it wasn't the same place he had fallen asleep at. He was back home in his own bedroom. He looked around, wondering how he had managed to get home from the barricades, when he saw him. Shin was there in the corner of his room, watching him.

"You up sleepyhead?" Shin asked, walking over to Kyon's bed. Kyon himself looked like shit. He had scratches, bruises, cuts, the whole 9 yards. Somehow he felt completely fine though. "Don't worry, despite what you look like on the outside, you're fine on the inside. You can walk around like a normal person can."

"How did I get here?" Kyon asked, sitting up in bed, not hurting at all

"Well what happened was that you wiped out, right there under that destroyed building, but the police were already inside the barricades, and were going to capture you and take you into questioning, and things like that." Shin explained "I took the liberty of coming down to pick you up, and I delivered you home, pretending to be a doctor, I mean imagine your mothers face if she knew a GOD had just saved yer ass." He laughed "I assured her you were fine, and brought you into your bedroom, and here you are 5 days later, woken up, and fine."

"Wait... 5 days?" Kyon said a bit panicked at the fact that 5 days of his life were just spent sleeping

"Yup, you were OUT. Also, your friends text you a LOT in 5 days, you know that?" Shin said before turning back to him "Anyways, the reason I'm here is that there's something weird with you."

"Eh?" Kyon asked

"Remember when we went to the other Universe, and watched Tony fight in that tournament?" He asked, getting a nod for a response. "Well Tony in that Universe has powers, and when he wants to, he becomes like what you became back at the barricades."

"Oh so we both are like that?" Kyon asked

"No, Tony's abilities are far more powerful than yours, and involve a LOT more energy also. While Tony's "Hachiman Mode", as he calls it, is triggered by his own self consciousness, yours is sort of like the Incredible Hulk, your strength is bumped up, but only your anger can trigger it. In other words, you could kick ass in a martial arts tournament, but you would need to become angry enough to be able to trigger it."

Kyon was still extremely confused. He had always heard of the Superhero, but never really cared to learn too much about him. The fact that Tony was able to trigger the reaction, but his anger could only do it confused Kyon."

"Fine, I guess I didn't have a choice anyways." Shin said as he pulled Kyon up from his bed. In an instant, everything went dark again. Kyon woke up on a Subway, Shin was sitting next to him, and the place was packed, people were everywhere, and sitting right near the door were, Tony, Konata, Tsukasa, and Kagami, oddly enough Miyuki wasn't with the gang.

"Hey look it's..." Kyon said starting to stand up, before Shin grabbed his shoulder and pulled him down.

"Not your friends." He said as Kyon realized they were in another universe.

"Um..." a girl said, standing by Tony, acting a bit nervous, like she was trying not to get embarrassed. Tony turned around facing her, she was looking away blushing a deep red. She had Pink hair that reached about halfway down her back, and Navy blue eyes. "Are...are you Ryū Tora no Kami?"

"Yes, and who are you?" Tony asked smiling. Kyon just sweat dropped a bit at the name he had given himself.

'The God of Fighting? Really Tony?' Kyon thought as they continued talking

"Um... my name is Tereya... Tereya Hanikamiya..." Tereya said softly"Could... could I have your autograph?"

"Who names their kid Shy when their last name also means shy?" Kyon said silently to Shin who just shrugged his shoulders.

The two continued talking a bit more, and they started talking about the tournament that was going on sometime soon.

"Do you not want me to fight in this tournament?" tony asked turning to Tsukasa

"You can do what you want." she said sternly

"I didn't ask what I want me to do. I asked what you want me to do." he said

"I want you to do what makes you happy Kan-kun." Tsukasa said

Kyon noticed something between the two, and turned to Shin and asked "Are they...?"

"Dating? Yes, been for about maybe a week now, but keep watching."Shin said

Soon the girls energetic friend came over and they talked a bit more about a tournament Kyon noticed how Tsukasa was giving tony a bit of an angry, and even jealous look.

"Maybe you can show us something?" the girls friend said excitedly practically jumping up and down in place.

"Oh please could you?Please please please." Tereya said as excited as her friend.

"Unfortunately it's much too crowded on this train." he said, but the girls gave him a sad look and he knew tony was about to crack

"Lets see... I have an idea, back up a bit, I've never done this before." Tony said as he held out his hand. In about 3 seconds a small glowing orb appeared in his hand, everyone in the crowd gasped in surprise at the small orb, but Kyon recognized it almost instantly.

"Make it swirl!" the excited girl yelled as Tony did just that,but suddenly it shot out, straight at Kyon, almost hitting him, before it disappeared into thin air. Before he made another one, keeping this one more contained.

"You said it was the first time you had tried it?" the girl asked

"Yeah" he said,smiling

"Whatever you gonna name it?" Tereya asked

"How about Tereya?" Tony smiled as Kyon just sat there, wondering why the same thing that was going on in front of him was something he had experienced.

Kyon looked over to Tsukasa who had a look of disgust, but then a look of shock, not at the fact that

Tony had just named a move after a girl he had just met, but because of the hand that was on her leg. Tony turned to her, and noticed the man touching her leg. His face became red with anger and before anyone knew it he burst.

"TEREYA!" he screamed as the orb appeared and shot out of his extended hand hitting the man and causing the door to the train to shoot out and hit a pole outside of the train, just missing a family walking past.

"Kan-Kun?" Tsukasa said meekly

"YOU TOUCH HER ONE MORE TIME I TRIPLE FUCKIN' DARE YOUTO TOUCH HER ONE MORE GOD DAMN TIME!" he screamed out at the man in practically the same voice as Kyon had when he fought Shi. They moved out of the train and moved past plenty of people still steaming, Tony pushed his way through to the other end of the subway station.

"That, is what I was talking about." Shin said, as they moved out of the train, going along with the crowd. "He triggered his "Sage-mode" and he pretty much flipped. Now I'm gonna show you one more thing, the Tournament that they were discussing when we watched."

Kyon went black once again, this time waking up in the same arena that he and Shin were at when Shin took him there the first time. The battle was already going on, and it looked like a rough battle. Konata was up against a girl using water powers to attack her, Tony was up against a guy using fire for a power, and at the other side of the arena stood a girl who looked oddly like Tsukasa, up against a girl who was using the earth around the area to attack. They were deep in battle going at each other at every moment and it was difficult to see what was going on all at the same time.

The boy that Tony was up against suddenly shot a lightning bolt out at him, which he ducked, before a barrel of flame came straight at Tony, and it looked almost impossible to dodge. The flames engulfed Tony's top half of his body in full, and a cry from Tsukasa rang out through the area above the shouts of the other audience members.

"KAN-KUN!" she screamed, fearing the worst, Kyon couldn't blame her either, flames like that would kill a man instantly.

When the flames subsided, Tony was still there, his shirt now gone, and cuts and bruises on his arms and chest, he uncrossed his arms, which were protecting him, as everything seemed to stand still.

"Beast." Tony said, smiling "That just turned the tide of this whole battle." He ran up the guy and ducked under a fire blast that came towards him. He pushed off the ground and came straight at the boy, sending a flood of fire to come straight down at the boy, hitting him a few times, before Tony came down and hit him in the chest.

"TEREYA!" he screamed as the boy was sent flying down to the ground

The battle continued for a bit of time as Shin continued talking more about the powers that Tony possessed.

"As you can see, even though it isn't triggered by anger, like your is, Tony's power makes it almost easy to take down his opponent, but also remember that he has years of martial arts training behind this. You won't get this good for YEARS." Shin said as they watched more. Kyon had moved over to help the girl who looked like Tsukasa out a bit, who seemed to be having trouble with the guy she was fighting. "Also do you see that ring that Tony has on his one finger? Well that ring supplies him with energy, and that is how he's able to do all of these powers without really hurting himself. While you somehow manage to survive on immense amounts of energy, it causes you to black out immediately after it all drains. That's not very good for you, it could probably end up killing you if it stays that way. I'd probably advise making something like that, something that will supply you with energy, so that you don't keep causing power outages."

When Kyon looked back to the fighting, Konata had just appeared underneath the final girl they had to beat and punched her two times, four times, eight times, each punch keeping the girl off the ground, and not allowing her to get an attack in. Soon she hit what had to be over 100 strikes straight into the girl, and she was down, and out.

"Winners! Team Taiseishiki!" Akira Kogami shouted from the center of the ring.

Soon the Hiiragi family, Miyuki, and what looked like Tony's older brother came out to the center of the ring, but not everyone looked happy about the win.

Kyon couldn't hear what they were saying, because of the distance between them and Shi and Kyon, but he knew that Tsukasa was obviously angry about something, and they looked like they were fighting. Soon enough Tsukasa yelled at him once last time and ran out of the area in tears, and Tony went up to the Tereya girl.

"Ok you ready to go back?" Shi asked, as Kyon turned his head, a bit interested in what was going on down there.

"Oh, uh, sure, I guess." Kyon said before he blacked out a final time.

"LUCKY CHANNEL!" Akira yelled as the card dropped to reveal her and Minoru standing ont eh usual Lucky Channel set, except it was dismantled and destroyed, almost as if someone had destroyed it out of anger.

"Today was not only Sqweebs-sama's birthday, but I GOT TO APPEAR IN THE SHOW!" Skira jumped with joy at that fact, glad to have finally appeared in something other than Lucky Channel.

"Well really it wasn't you, but the Akira from that other Universe." Minoru said, before Akira turned her her still keeping the smile, but her eyes turning wild and angry

"Minoru..." she said between clenched teeth "The audience wasn't supposed to KNOW that wasn't actually me." With that she kicked him in the Shin, hard enough to knock him to the ground in agony.

"Anyways, we want to say a quick Happy Birthday to Sqweebs-sama, and thank him for continuoulsy supplying us with a decent paycheck!" Akira shouted as the ending tone went off.

"Have a nice night! Bye-niiii!"

With that, the black out dropped in front of the camera but Akira could still be heard on stage.

"WHY DO YOU HAVE TO SAY STUPID THINGS WHEN YOU GET NERVOUS!?" she screamed as the sound of wood on flesh sounded, and the camera stopped playing.

Ok I'm stupid or something, because if you read the original upload of this you'd see that this is cut off somewhat. It turns out that the file saved to the USB drive I had, and not to the desktop version. X/ Anyways,well Happy Birthday to me! I typed up about half of this today on my brand new (Dinosaur of a) Laptop! Most of this was actually typed up on the bus to school, in school, or on the way home from school. Also I got the popular picture of Konata on the classic Windows desktop as my Screen Saver, made SO MANY PEOPLE Lol today when they saw it. Anyways, now I have a debit card, and I'm getting a new car! That plus my trip to NYC, and the Def Leppard/Posion concert a couple weeks ago, and I've had one AWESOME birthday! Well This is like the LAST FEW MINUTES of my birthday, so I gotta get this uploaded, so see ya next chapter!
