Chapter 2. Man, that was fast. That's one of the reasons I like these sentence charts - they're short, lots of fun, yet surprisingly challenging. Getting all the meaning necessary into one sentence isn't easy, which is why you'll spot lots of technically illegal semicolon use in these. Oh well. Enjoy anyway!

Oh, more blatant Kyon/Yuki shipping, by the way, though nothing too blatant.

1. Air – The last thing we need on this trip is people spontaneously gaining the power to breathe underwater…

2. Apples – Itsuki has been making sure that a freshly peeled apple will be ready for him when he wakes up… no matter how long that takes.

3. Beginning – "Our mission is simple: To find aliens, time travelers, sliders and espers and have fun with them!"

4. Bugs – If I'm ever in a situation that requires a cicada's help, I think I'd rather just let myself die.

5. Coffee – "This year for sure," Haruhi muttered, taking another gulp from the Thermos and squinting out the tent flap into the darkness among the trees.

6. Dark – "Whoever that is, move your hand right now."

7. Despair – Kyon put a hand to his throbbing nose as he stared after Mikuru's retreating back, and he only belatedly realized that the hot liquid running down his face was not blood.

8. Doors – One visible effect of the SOS-Dan on its male members is their now ingrained tendency to knock before opening any door.

9. Drink – "I've sworn never to drink again," she'd said, which I'll admit conjured up some pretty horrific guesses as to what happened the last time.

10. Duty – Her duty is still merely to observe, but… it is possible to observe while acting as a participant.

11. Earth – When asked about her own Earth, Mikuru only lowers her eyes and mumbles the now-standard "classified information"… but the quiet, sweet sadness in her eyes as she brushes her fingertips across the petals of a flower speaks louder than she ever could.

12. End – The SOS-Dan, a silly club made by silly high school students, has ended; in its place stand five confident, powerful young men and women, united eternally by bonds of trust forged in hardship, laughter and the occasional end of the world.

13. Fall – "Hey, Kyon, stay with me," Haruhi shouted, patting at the unconscious boy's face in the frigid, driving rain.

14. Fire – "It won't work, Koizumi-kun," Arakawa sighed, patting Itsuki on the shoulder and taking away the slip of paper the fourteen-year-old had been staring intently at for the past five minutes.

15. Flexible – During Haruhi's brief obsession with the Summer Olympics, Kyon learned several things regarding A) the ways in which his body could bend and B) the ways in which Haruhi expected his body to be able to bend, fields which did not overlap very much.

16. Flying – Kyon specifically asked Yuki to alter the SOS-Dan's computers to block any and all references to the American movie Snakes On A Plane… just in case it turned out to be a good idea later.

17. Food – The 'itadakimasu' had not yet finished ringing in the air before Haruhi's nimble chopsticks started stealing all the meat from the nabe.

18. Foot – "See, look, Mikuru-chan, you step on their foot like this and then –" and suddenly Kyon was on his back on the floor and regretting volunteering for Haruhi-ryu's inaugural run.

19. Grave – "I kinda would've liked to meet him," Haruhi sighed, turning away from the weathered stone marker, and Kyon shared a worried glance with Mikuru.

20. Green – The color green has more connotations than cool-headedness and intelligence.

21. Head – "Could you watch where you're going?" Kyon groaned, clutching his forehead; Haruhi, in an identical pose, stuck her tongue out at him.

22. Hollow – Every now and again, Itsuki sees the Computer Society President in the hall, and he is a broken shell of a man.

23. Honor – "The contest begins when you announce it," Haruhi declared, wading into the Computer Society members with unholy gusto.

24. Hope – "P – please take this… if you'd like," Nagato said hesitantly, holding out a piece of paper to him like she expected him to bite.

25. Light – Haruhi hisses and reflexively smacks Kyon every time he jostles her red, swollen knee, but she weighs surprisingly little and it's not too hard to carry her.

26. Lost – "The man I love is far away, so far away I could cry…" she half-hums, half-mumbles to herself, fingers twitching into half-remembered chords.

27. Metal – "I think I actually liked the afro better," Mikuru moaned, pulling futilely at the spiky pink wig covering her chestnut hair.

28. New – She walks astride the world, and where her gaze falls reality is stripped away; beautiful and terrible forms arise from nothing in her footsteps.

29. Old – This timeplane was so confusing at first; they had weird, scary old things like cars, airplanes, skyscrapers, chopsticks, paper plates and oceans made of water… but she was coming to enjoy it.

30. Peace – With the signing-up of Yuki into the Computer Society, a tenuous sort of peace has been achieved between clubrooms 2-A and 2-F, and Kyon isn't sure Haruhi even has that camera anymore.

31. Poison – "Sorry, Mikuru, I got carried away," Tsuruya apologized the next day at school, when Mikuru had sobered up again.

32. Pretty – It was impossible to tell when, but sometime in the past year she had learned to see the colors of a sunset instead of its atmospherically diffracted differentiated photovariations.

33. Rain – It was one of those days where nothing seemed to happen, but once you look back on it you wonder how you missed all the clues.

34. Regret – My decision's been made; the only thing I can do now for the other Haruhi, the other Koizumi, and… the other Nagato-san is to make sure I never regret pressing 'Enter'.

35. Roses – He could buy them for her; yes, he could buy them, give them to her, and when she turned to him with her eyes flashing and asked what they were for, he would put on his usual bland smile and lie to her face.

36. Secret – Keeping literally the most important secret in the universe isn't that hard when the one person who can't know laughs in your face when you tell her.

37. Snakes – No matter what Haruhi says, I did not scream like a girl when that snake dropped on me.

38. Snow – She is the one who gives him hope when things look their bleakest, and it is because of him that she knows what hope is.

39. Solid – "It's heavier than I thought," Haruhi said, hefting one of the assembled model Desert Eagles; "Mikuru-chan, c'mere and make sure you can hold these."

40. Spring – The SOS-Dan made very, very certain to meet in the clubroom after school on the first day of spring vacation and finish all their homework at once.

41. Stable – "It's indisputable that you have a calming effect on Suzumiya-san," Itsuki said, with the same enigmatic smile as always; "In fact, you may be the only thing that's kept her from remaking the world thus far."

42. Strange – I'm going to need to invent a new word, as well as a new frame of reference, for 'strange' now that I spend most of my time with Suzumiya Haruhi.

43. Summer – Unobtrusively, but unfailingly, Kyon checked in on Yuki every day that summer, even after she assured him that it would not happen again.

44. Taboo – Classified Information

45. Ugly – Mikuru didn't stop screaming for five minutes after Haruhi jumped out from behind the cabinet with a goblin mask on.

46. War – The Grand Haruhi SOS Empire's Space Fleet may not be the most cohesive or the most strategically sound fleet in the galaxy, but it still makes a regular habit of beating the crap out of its enemies with sheer brute strength.

47. Water – "Koizumi-kun, how does swimming compare to flying?" Mikuru asked interestedly, bobbing along beside the esper in an inner tube.

48. Welcome – The signs advertising the SOS-Dan are still up on bulletin boards around the school, but no one has applied to join; subconsciously, Haruhi realizes that it needs no one else.

49. Winter – "Here, Kyon-kun," Mikuru said, tying her scarf around his neck; her cheeks were flushed pink from the cold.

50. Wood – The light grain of the SOS-Dan's clubroom's old table used to be uncomfortable to sleep on, but it's getting much easier with a little bit of practice.

Notes!

5. Coffee - No, I don't know what she's looking for. Bigfoot.

7. Despair - It's hard to tell from the camrip, but it's not hard to believe that Kyon shed a few tears after that scene. Sugita-san's voice acting certainly made me think so, anyway.

9. Drink - Someday I will write that story...

12. End - This is hands-down my favorite of the bunch. The SOS-Dan, as a student club, won't last forever, but the SOS-Dan - its members - will.

13. Fall - The anime version of 'Remote Island Syndrome', which I actually preferred over the story.

17. Food - Of course Haruhi is a nabe shogun, meaning someone who hogs the best parts from communal nabe (pot) meals.

20. Green - Okay, this one I knew I was going to have to explain. Itsuki's character color is green, which is supposedly suggestive of the mentioned qualities... as well as of jealousy.

24. Hope - Yuki-chan's face when Kyon returns the Literature Club signup sheet is one of the saddest things I've ever seen in an anime.

27. Metal - From the first drama CD, Sound Around, in which Haruhi dresses the SOS-Dan members in punk (or, to her, heavy metal) costumes.

29. Old - Mikuru mentions at one point that her Earth still has oceans, but she seems surprised that the ocean in 2010 is made of water.

32. Pretty - Yeah, that means 'colors' too, just soulless.

37. Snakes - Again, 'Remote Island Syndrome'.

38. Snow - This one'll take some explaining. Yuki's name is a homonym for 'snow', 雪, but is spelled 有希, meaning 'have hope'.

43. Summer - I won't apologize for this one. I wonder if another Endless Eight-style scenario would also prompt Kyon to drop the Smith bomb on Haruhi...?

Thanks for reading, everyone. I'll probably spend some time on 6S (check my profile) after this, but I'm not done with this fic yet. Remember to review!
