Haruhi's Birthday
Chapter 2
Kyon and Haruhi returned to class as if nothing had happened. Nobody, not even the teacher, seemed to have noticed their absence. After school that day the SOS Brigade met, without their leader. Haruhi left in order for the party to be a surprise. I wonder what she does when she's not here. Kyon thought. He sighed. Why did I get myself involved with her anyway? Ever since, all it's been like is crazy drama after crazy drama. I wonder if I could just walk away. Kyon glanced up and saw Yuki. Her eyes gave him the answer. He could never get away. He had been involved with Haruhi to much. The other three would never let him go. He sighed and looked out the window.
"Well?" Itsuki said. No answer. "Kyon, what did Miss Suzumiya say?"
"Huh?" Kyon replied. "She wants a cake and twelve gallons of ice cream."
"Twelve?" Mikuru asked.
"Must've been the first number that popped into her demented little mind." Kyon Said.
"Shall we start?" Yuki said. Wow. Kyon thought. It must be serious if Yuki wants to take part.
"Let's get the cake order done first." Mikuru suggested. "I seriously doubt it will get done before tomorrow though."
"I seriously doubt we can pay for it." Kyon said.
"I know some espers in our Organization who own a bakery nearby." Itsuki said. "They may be able to assist us for free."
"You know everyone Itsuki." Kyon added.
"That's actually true in a sense Kyon. There are more espers than you think."
"Let's just get the cake Itsuki."
The gang walked to the bakery that Itsuki knew. Itsuki talked to an old man in a baker's uniform. Both of them went into the kitchen. They came out after a moment and Itsuki said that it was agreed. "Just tell him the type of cake and any other specifications."
"Haruhi wants a five layered chocolate cake covered in vanilla icing, decorated in tasty roses without too much dye, and topped with strawberries."
"Wow, that's a tall order-" The man began.
"No it was butter cream icing." Kyon said. "And she wanted something written on it. Uh, you are something. Wait it was vanilla icing. Crap I should have written it down!"
"Perhaps it was vanilla flavored butter cream icing." Mikuru suggested.
"Yeah it was." Kyon said relieved. "But there's still the writing."
"Why don't you kids ask your friend and come back down here and tell me." The man said. "I'm pretty busy, so I can't be held up for too long. Sorry kids."
They left. As the group was walking back to the school, Mikuru suggested that they stop by a store and get some decorations. "We have no money." Kyon said.
"Actually, I know an esper…" Itsuki said.
