(A/N: I reread the first three chapters and noticed a Wholebunch of typos, I feel really bad about those and will try harder to correct such careless mistakes, sorry however Tsuruya's line are deliberately misspelled to show she has a lisp, seriously her original one was impossible to put into English so I'm giving her the usual S to Sh kind as in "Esh oh esh brigade" she'll also use "mega" a lot but not in this chapter for what will become obvious reasons as you read)

The Divergence of Haruhi Suzumiya

Chapter Four

I sat on that bench for a few more minutes before I began to head home. I tried to look for some sort of sign that this was a new timeline even some sort of small things like when I first slid, nothing seemed out of place, right as I decided there wasn't anything to see, I felt strange, I lost my balance for a second and the entire world went black. Only seconds later it stopped and I found my self standing right where I was, I quickly looked at my cell phone's clock to see how long I'd blacked out but if I did it couldn't have been more than a few minutes, then it hit me, that was the same way I felt when I slid back to my world. So did I just slide? I looked around again, in the sky was one of the absolute most cliché signs of another world , a giant Zeppelin, something tells me that I subconsciously chose to enter a world that was similar to what I expected from an alternate world. I decided that as long as I was here I'd look around ( not to mention I had no idea how to slide back). Maybe the me in this world knows how to slide back, or at least the answers to Tuesdays economics quiz, ugh, what am I saying I bet this world's economy is completely different.

I decided there was one place that no matter what universe would still be a safe haven for any supernatural being, the literary club room.

As I headed towards the school I noticed a couple more differences between the two worlds, for one it seemed like this world had a slightly different accent to it's Japanese and when I passed a sushi stand I noticed the face on the 100 yen coin was different, though it seemed familiar to me and was that the Tokyo tower, here? I stopped at the newsstand and bought a news paper to see how world events had changed ( What?, I watch a lot of movies, I know the tricks), first off I checked if the calender they used was the same as my world's, it was.

I learned that apparently in this world japan had annexed china in 1956 and that they were trying to become an official district after their war with the Federated States of Taiwan so they can have the protection of the Japanese Army, apparently American president Lopez supports this decision citing the mistakes made during the World War leading to the destruction of Tokyo and Nagasaki and oh, look at this, Stephen Hawking is the first scientist to win the Tour de France.

And the ruling family is going to announce the new members of senate, wait ruling family? Are we back to Feudalism? Dictatorship? Orwellian? I read on and two things became cleat one, the government was based on a dictating family that looked over these peoples votes and petition, in other words, a benevolent dictatorship and two, the ruling family was The Tsuruya's.

I guess it wasn't too far off from my own world, the Tsuruya family was pretty powerful they funded a secret organization and were politically influential so dictatorship isn't a very big stretch. I wonder if she's still friend with the brigade, or if she even goes to school with us. I decided to head to school and check out the club room

When I reached the school I found that in this world they had went through with building the new art center and had planted some more trees out in front. I walked into the building and headed to where, in my world, the SOS Brigade's room would be. I don't know what I expected to find there on a Sunday afternoon or if there would would even be a scrap of paper saying "SOS Brigade" under the Literary Club sign instead I found an actual sign for the Brigade, apparently in this world it was a little more successful. I could hear noise coming from the inside so I knew some one was there and I was sure there no one else in the school so this was usual SOS activity I paused, what if the other me was in there then I remembered, wasn't that what I was looking for, and didn't I slip back to to my world after seeing me last time. I took a deep breath and opened the door.

The first thing I noticed was the club room, where there was once a colorful mess of "things" over here the room was an open space with one pine table in the middle and a long, curved ,black desk circling the perimeter of the room, instead of separate computer monitors as would be expected in a classroom there was one giant "C" shaped screen with multiple keyboards connected to it and several soft looking silver and black chairs , the walls were mostly covered with charts and maps.

Second was of course the people as ,expected there was Haruhi,Asahina,Nagato and Koizumi, I was more surprised to see Kuyoh Suoh, the interface of the Sky Canopy dominion, Kyoko Tachibana , the rival esper, and my good friend Sasaki. Also there was Tsuruya who I was only surprised to see after learning that Tsuruya was the ruling family

I wasn't there so I was unclear on why the group was starring at me like I was out of place, was I not part of the SOS brigade in this world. I couldn't decide whether I should play along and pretend to be their Kyon ( if I even went by that name here) or come out and say that I was a slider. How would this Haruhi React to that? Or was this High-tech clubroom a sign of that this Brigade had been more successful at their searches for the paranormal?

"Kyon?" Haruhi asked " I thought you had that flu that was going around?"

"uh, I actually, um, okay, here it goes, I'm a Slider, I'm stuck here, if your like the SOS Brigade on my side then you were made for this kind of thing will you help me get back home" I wasn't thinking it just came out of my mouth

Haruhi responded " if your a slider like our kyon, why not just slide back" okay there's a start this me was a slider too, apparently more experience then me " So, Haruhi, you know about the paranormal, as in, about it being around you? "

"well of course, everyone does the SOS Brigade was tasked with the investigation and aid of all paranormal entities like us"

" so...you know what you are"

" No, me and Sasaki are the only ones that are normal, is it not like that on your side?"

" uh... no it's just I thought it might be different on this side"

Tsuruya jumped in at this point " Ish the Esh Oh Esh Brigade on your shide not Funded by The Tsuruya Family?" hmm, I guess she still has that strong lisp on this side

" uh, no, Japan's... different on my side, and the SOS Brigade is sort of a joke, wait are you saying the Brigade is a government funded organization"

"yesh, we are the student division of the Esh Oh Esh"

"SOS is a government organization here?"

"yes, we investigate paranormal activity and are authorized to interact with the anomalies" Koizumi answered

" I see, this is an expansion of your Agency isn't it?"

"Yes"

Haruhi caught our attention with a blow horn same old Haruhi " okay, look the point is we need to get Kyon home

"well first can I ask a few questions?" I wanted to know how everybody had gotten along over here or if everybody was the same in terms of personality

" no , I'm afraid that people from other universe are not allowed to know more than we can help about our world" it was Nagato Yuki who responded, the tone of her voice indicated that while she was certainly still alien that her personality was far more I Don't know...Bright.

" we can take you to a facility that will help you get back to your world" Asahina said in a business like tone " we can have you back before midnight"

"great." I said "when do we leave?"

(A/N: how did I Do with Tsuruya's lisp? Any ideas on how to make it wore effective, please review!)
