Me: Now, the third arc begins! Sorry about the several year Hiatus. I stopped to focus on my other works, which were increasing in number. I finished this a while ago, but never uploaded it. A few days ago, I started some slight editing to earlier chapters, and now this story is back.
Mystery Slider: He doesn't own anything, except for every slider in this story. He also references Michael Bay at one point.

"We're making a movie!" Kyon yelled as I entered. Well I'm a few seconds late. "Exactly!" Haruhi exclaimed. "Is it for the cultural festival? My class was planning something with selling merchendise." I noted. "I must mention that I've been selected to act in my class's play." Koizumi added. "Ah, me too. My class is doing a café." Mikuru said. "See? Everybody has their own commitments to deal with. You can't throw your own idea on whim." Kyon said.
All I have to do is sell some stuff. My class is making some store, which sells merchandise produced by other students, such as the games from the computer club. It was an idea from the Student Council, that was meant to make it easier for students to work on both their club's and their class's projects.
"They can do whatever they want. Though I won't be participating, the SOS Brigade will make something far more entertaining than your class projects!" Haruhi noted. True enough. "Rest assured, I have the script thought out in my head." Haruhi added.
"Easier said than done. There are things we would need to get first. Like a budget or a camera." Kyon noted. "We have the Literacy club's budget, Right Tomi." I was really hoping she would ask Yuki. "Er, wait. Wouldn't that be embezzlement?" Kyon asked. Technically? We're the producers. "Sheesh, you never shut up." Haruhi dismissed.
"WITH THE SOS BRIGADE IN CHARGE, THE MOVIE IS GARRANTED TO BE A SUCCESS! BUCKLE YOUR SEAT BELTS AND HANG ON TIGHT!" Haruhi shouted. "AND WITH THAT SETTLED, WE HAVE NO MORE TIME TO WASTE! GET READY TO HEAD OUT! A GOLDEN ARROW IS WITHIN OUR GRASP!"
...
"Okay. Before we start filming, Mikuru, you brought the costumes right?" Haruhi asked. "Ah, yes we did. Are we going to be using them today?" Mikuru asked. "We'll be finding out in a bit. Now then, I have to go off for a bit. You guys should wait here." Haruhi said.
I saw the Slider go into a nearby store. I followed him, but he was gone once I got to the door. If he was ever there. The only proof I have that I'm not imagining this guy is that Michiko saw him at the baseball game. I went back to the others.
"Deal made! The first step was a success. Hey Kyon, carry this." Haruhi said. "Hey now, this is..." Kyon said. "Can't you tell? A video camera! I just got it." Haruhi said. That is a VERY expensive, high quality video camera. That she got for free. "We can't start without this. Let's move on then."
...
"Hey, Haruhi. You mean you got it—" Kyon asked. "Like I said...I said I wanted to film a movie, and he was happy to cooperate." Haruhi said. She left out the part where we were going to advertise him. Again. "For real?! If he's giving away stuff, hook me up—" Kyon said. I'll never know what it was he wanted. "Okay. Next would be, weapons. Flashy ones that can be used in action scenes." Haruhi said.
...
"We've assembled most of the nessicary equipment. We're ready to film whenever now." Haruhi said. "What happened to Asahina and Nagato?" Kyon asked. "They're getting ready." Haruhi said. "Sorry to keep you waiting." Mikuru said. "Um, Suzumiya, What is this?" Mikuru asked.
"Oh Marvelous! you fit the role perfectly!" Haruhi said. "The skirt's even shorter than usual." Mikuru said. That's because Haruhi shortened it. "That's the point! We're all but assured a golden globe!" Haruhi exclaimed.
"Hey, Haruhi. Why are those the costumes? What kind of film are we making." Kyon asked. "Look over this. Keep it under wraps!" Haruhi instructed. She revealed the so-called script. "I was planning to keep this a secret a little longer, since I don't want anyone to steal my idea." Haruhi said.
"This is wonderful. An impressive job of casting." Koizumi commented. Mikuru as a time traveler. Yuki as an alien. Koizumi as an esper. Only Haruhi could write this. "Right? It's flawless. Let's head to the filming site!" Haruhi said.
...
"HEY MISTER! WE'RE HERE AS PROMISED!" Haruhi yelled. We are back at the electronics store. I saw the slider on top of the building I saw entering earlier. I don't think he planned or knew about I me seeing him earlier. "We will now begin shooting the commercial!" Haruhi exclaimed.
I apparently had to stand inside the store, but make it look like I wasn't part of the commercial. While they filmed, I decided to buy some batteries. I actually needed some anyway.
...
The next day, I did less in the commercials. And by that, I mean I wasn't in them. I worked with my class on setting our project when Haruhi began an announcement.
"I HAVE BIG NEWS FOR EVERYONE! How is everybody doing on this fine day?" Haruhi used the speakers to reach the entire school. "I have a message from the SOS Brigade. First, I need everyone to turn their TVs to the school network." My class did exactly as she instructed, and we watched the commercials Haruhi filmed.
"And that was a word from our sponsor! Now to get down to business!" The advertisement for the movie appeared. "And there you have it everybody! Please visit the SOS Brigade during the cultural festival!" At least everything's going as it should. I don't understand what I'm needed here for. The movie could be made without me.
