Haruhi summons the SOS Brigade to make the most of summer vacation. The group is taken on a whirlwind tour of summer activities. They play at a swimming pool, attend Bon Festival, shoot off fireworks, hunt for bugs, work a part-time job, stargaze, play at a batting range, watch a fireworks display, compete in a fishing tournament, explore a cemetery, see a blockbuster, go to the beach, go bowling, and sing karaoke. Having gone through her entire list, Haruhi still seems unsatisfied but gives them the last day of August off. Though Kyon tries to do his neglected summer homework, he gives in to distraction and goes to bed without finishing it.
