Haruhi walked up to Mikuru, who was doing her usual maid cos-play. "I just realized," Haruhi said, "that your costume needs a bow."

"Oh," Mikuru said, as Haruhi began to tie a ribbon around Mikuru's neck. "Um, thank you."

Too late as usual, Kyon walked up after Haruhi. "Mikuru! Be careful! You shouldn't let her—"

Haruhi suddenly knotted the ribbon very tightly. "*URK*" said Mikuru.

And then, Haruhi turned on Kyon. "You're one to talk," she said as she yanked his loose necktie tight. "*URK*" said Kyon.

Haruhi smiled sweetly. "Now, then. Isn't that better?"

"AAAAAIIIIIRRRRRRRRRR," gasped Kyon and Mikuru.
