Notes: First fic, can't wait for responses. Kyon's narration and thoughts are in italics. No Lucky Star yet. I sure hope that you've all watched The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya or you won't understand this chapter. Think of this as a prologue. If the text is all bunched together making it hard to read, tell me. Enjoy.

Disclaimer: I do not own any characters from Lucky Star, Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, or any anime that may be mentioned or referenced to.

Kyon sighed again after departing with his little sister walking up the hill to school like normal. It has been a very boring and melancholic summer for Kyon and the SOS Brigade. Not much happened. Of course, the SOS Brigade met quite often, perhaps more than one a week due to Haruhi's demands for meetings. Their usual routine of investigating mysteries around town gave no results as usual. Besides, all the mysteries that were occurring were all revolved around Haruhi.

There was a fair deal of extremely large animals created from pictures and information that were entered into the SOS Brigade website. Kyon was constantly pressured by Haruhi to update the website, and the whole brigade would pay a visit to the Computer Research Society President and force him to solve any technical problems that occurred. Unfortunately, he couldn't handle the data entities appeared occasionally. Koizumi had his share of closed spaces to deal with. Obviously Haruhi was bored.

Despite the occasional mystery, the SOS Brigade was still in a state of melancholy throughout the summer. He could only pray that the new school year would satisfy Haruhi's boredom and prevent the end of the world.

As usual, Kyon stepped into the room to see Haruhi staring out the window blankly. 'Hey', Kyon simply greeted Haruhi. 'How was summer?'

'Boring'

I didn't even need to ask.

After a moment's silence, Haruhi continued her rant, 'You know, I've just realized how boring school is. But Kyon, do you think there are more interesting schools than this one?'

'Well…' Kyon never had the chance to answer.

'I bet there are schools with interesting clubs and teachers who don't moan all day. I wish we could all attend a school like that.'

There we go. I can expect what will happen. Koizumi, you could try to prevent closed space from forming instead of killing those blue monsters every day from now on.

The school bell interrupted their daily morning conversation. Well, at least nothing bad happened. I have school to worry about now instead of the end of the world.

The day passed by without any complications. As usual, Kyon made his way to the SOS Brigade clubroom. "Oi, Yuki-chan, Mikuru…." He came across a rather familiar sight, Mikuru changing. He quickly slammed the door in front of him with a blush across his face.

How could I forget? At least knock… Where did your manners go Kyon? A few minutes later, Kyon rejoined Mikuru with a maid costume preparing tea and Yuki with her usual book. Bothered by the silence, he tried to strike up a conversation. 'How's summer?' He simply got a nod from Yuki and an innocent smile from Mikuru.

At least that wasn't 'Classified information'. He glanced towards the computer. No Haruhi? I guess she's somewhere forming a few blue monsters right now. Where's Koizumi?

The mysterious transfer student came through the door in the club room. 'Hey. How's everyone?' Another nod from Yuki. 'Tea?' Mikuru offered. Itsuki gave an affirmative smile. "Oi Koizumi, how are things going?' The smile on Itsuki's face diminished slightly. He sighed, 'What perfect timing. I have to go.' Kyon asked before Itsuki could turn away. 'Closed space?'

'The usual. I'll be back shortly.' Itsuki quickly exited through the door. Kyon slowly made his way to the computer. I guess Haruhi's being busy. Koizumi would just quickly do his job and prevent the end of the world. I wonder if Asahina-san's pictures are still here. The SOS Brigade meeting that never happened went by quickly and Kyon soon found himself on the way home.

Kyon sighed again after departing with his little sister walking up the hill to school like normal. I guess Haruhi didn't cause the end of the world. However, something was different when he was approaching the school. He looked at the time. I should be late, but what's with the mass of students of the front gate? And what's with the ambulances?

All the students in the school seemed to be massed in front of a large amount of boards with notices on them. Judging from the tone of the voices, the crowd seemed to be in a slight state of panic. The low muttering of the crowd was interrupted by the occasional shouting from a name, as if people were trying to find each other. He slowly fought his way through the crowd. Kyon overheard brief questions like 'What school were you transferred to?'

He read the notice to himself, 'Due to an epidemic of an unknown disease this school will be closed until further notice. Don't panic. The students infected with the disease have been quarantined inside the buildings with medical professionals. Don't worry about your education. It will still continue. The principal has transferred the majority of high school students to other schools in the surrounding area so your education can continue. The lists of schools and the students transferred to those schools are also at the front gate. You will attend at those schools starting the day after tomorrow. Have a nice day.' What did you do Haruhi?

Thinking of his friends, Kyon slowly stumbled into a sense of panic. Unknown disease? Who was affected? He started to search through the crowd, pushing people aside. Haruhi? Yuki-chan? Mikuru-chan? Koizumi-san? He soon found all four standing quietly in front of a lonely board with a single piece of paper on it. Haruhi had an evil but excited smile. Mikuru seemed like she was going to cry. Koizumi still kept his smile. Yuki's face remained blank as always despite all the chaos.

He quickly read through the notice. Ryoo High School- Kasukabe, Saitama. Haruhi Suzumiya, Yuki Nagato, Mikuru Asahina, Itsuki Koizumi. 'Where's me? I'll check the other boards'. Haruhi stopped him. 'No you don't. You're coming with us. That's an order.' 'Fine, fine' Kyon sighed, 'Can't be bothered to fight through the crowd anyway'. There was a moment of silence for Kyon.

Wait, Kasukabe is in Saitama which is in… never mind. I don't think they mean it when they say surrounding area.

'Look Haruhi,I don't think I want to travel to Tokyo everyday from here. So…' 'I don't care… This is great! We're all going to be mysterious transfer students.' Accepting defeat, he sighed, 'Fine, we got packing to do. So we're going there even without any idea where to stay in Kasukabe.'
