WHO: Haruhi and whoever else is around!
WHEN: July 7th, early evening.

SUMMARY: It's Tanabata~ will Hikoboshi and Orihime meet tonight?
RATING: PG.
WARNINGS: None.

Even though she was now in America, Haruhi wasn't going to let one of her favorite holidays go by without notice!  The high schooler had gathered all the necessary items for her own tanabata celebration on the roof of the hotel.  Earlier in the day she had hunted down bamboo potted plants (or what appeared to be bamboo; if it wasn't perfect that was fine), and gathered colored pieces of paper and string. The weather had managed to cooperate with the holiday as well; the skies were clear, and though they were a bit dimmer due to the city lights, the stars could be clearly seen.

"So I figured out last year that it would take 25 years for my wish to get to one star and 16 years to the other," Haruhi mumbled to herself. "But if they're coming from America would it be different?  Maybe a little faster since Americans are so speedy and impatient."  She flopped down on the ground and pulled a magic marker's cap off with her mouth. 

"Wish time!" Ignoring everything around her, Haruhi began scribbling her wishes on two different pieces of paper.

I couldn't resist.

"To make things exciting of course!" Really, wasn't it obvious. Sighing, Haruhi explained.

"If a portal randomly appeared in front of you, you'd like to walk through it, right? They could lead anywhere all over the world! Like a portal could appear right here, and suddenly we could be in the middle of Beijing! It would be so exciting! Plus it would save on transportation costs if you had portals between two places you'd really want to go."

now you're thinking with portals, haruhi

"How on earth would you be able to tell which portal led where?"

"You'd be able to see in a little bit, but you really wouldn't know," Haruhi explained, walking in a circle, nodding to herself. She was in full professor-esque mode. "But part of the fun is the spontaneity of it! One moment you're in Paris, next India, Shibuya, Thailand, the North Pole- the possibilities are endless! And someone could make a lucrative career selling maps of the different portal locations, but there could also be counterfeit versions running around to confuse people."

She stopped suddenly, and turned directly towards the guy. "It'd be exciting!"
