This story takes place in their last year. Instead of their senior trip to Okinawa, they're going to… America.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Osaka bounded into the classroom.

"Yo!" she shouted, a hand in the air.

"Yo! Osaka! What's cookin?" Tomo shouted back, her normal grin on her face.

Osaka tilted her head to the side and blinked slowly. "Hmmm…" Her nose twitched as she sniffed the air. "I can't smell nothin"

A huge sweat drop appeared on Yomi's head, who sitting just behind Tomo, had heard the whole conversation. "Err…" Osaka took a seat next to Tomo, a look of confusion on her face.

"We find out where we're going for our Senior trip today right?" A smiling Chiyo-chan asked Sakaki, Sakaki silently nodded. "I hope its someplace fun. Groups of six right?"

Tomo barged in, nodding quickly. "Uh-huh uh-huh. That's me, you, Sakaki, Osaka, Yomi and… Hey. We're missing someone aren't we?" A look of horror came upon her face. "Oh my god! Our circle is broken! Oh my god!"

"Shut up!" yelled Yomi. "It's not like we're going to die or anything!"

Osaka, meanwhile, nodded in agreement. "Yeah! We're all doomed! I heard a story about this once. Someone left this sacred circle of protection and a Chupacabra came and ate them all."

Sakaki, Chiyo-chan, and Yomi looked at Osaka with shock on their faces, all thinking the same thought. How is her brain working?

Tomo gasped. "Oh my god! We're all doing to die! Wait… what's a Chupacabra…"

Sakaki lifted her head up slightly. "A Chupacabra is a South American monster. It's name means 'goat sucker'. Said to have killed many animals. It's about as real as Bigfoot, or the Loch Ness monster though." Chiyo-chan nodded in agreement.

"Oh… well then… I guess we'll die horrible deaths! It's been nice knowing you all!" Tomo grasped them all in a group hug. "Goodbye, friends!"

"Sorry I'm late!" Kagura pulled open the door of the classroom. In a few steps she was at the group's side. "What's up?"

Osaka turned to look at Kagura. "Oh… hi Kagura. We just found out that we're all going to get eaten by a Chupacabra. See you in the afterlife."

Kagura gave Osaka an understanding nod "Oh wow! Well, good luck with that. Hope you make it out ok." She put on a sincere smile ad stuck out her hand for a handshake. Poor things…

Osaka grabbed her hand and pumped it up and down. "Thanks! You can have all my stuff when I die. I won't need it anymore." She chuckled as if that was the funniest thing ever.

Yomi shoved away Tomo's arms angrily. "We're not going to die! There is no such thing as a Chupacabra!"

Tomo gave Yomi the thumbs up. "YEAH! That's the spirit! Let's all try to forget about it as we enjoy our last few days or even hours alive!"

Chiyo-chan stared at Tomo. "Ummm… Miss. Takino? We actually aren't going to…"

She sighed as Tomo turned to her, a huge smile on her face. "Yeah! You go too Chihuahua! Keep up the happy vibes!"

Kagura smiled. "Yeah! Yeah! This is the day we find out where we're going on our trips. We should be happy! Is this our group for the trip?"

Osaka nodded. "Yeah. We're just missing the sixth person to our circle. Wish I knew who that was…" she trailed off, her face drawn in deep concentration

Kagura started counting her group of friends. "4...5...6... What? Who are we missing? This is six…"

Tomo started counting and let out a gasp of surprise. "Oh my god! You're right! We're not going to die after all! Our circle is complete!" She traced a circle in the air with her hand.

Osaka and Tomo celebrated as Sakaki, Chiyo-chan, and Yomi looked on in amazement. Kagura looked on confused. As Tomo and Osaka ended their celebratory dance, the door slid open with a loud bang. Miss Yukari stood at the door, her eyes shooting daggers at the students.

"Dumb bike broke down. If Nyamo had just given me a ride I would have been here on time. But NO! No one cares about little Yukari and her transportation problem!" She slammed her books on the her desk and sat down, still grumbling.

The students cast each other dark looks. Yukari was at it again.

Chiyo-chan worked up her courage to raise her hand "Miss. Yukari? Are we going to find out our senior trip destinations today?"

Yukari nodded and sighed. "I guess. No use putting it off. We need the destinations for each student by today anyways. Ok, get into your groups as I get everything ready." Metal desk and chair legs scraped across the floor as the students got into their trip groups, each and every student waiting to find out where they were going. Yukari shredded up bits of paper and put them into a hat. Turning to the class she said, "As you all know, we aren't going to Okinawa this year. Instead…" here she paused, watching with amusement as each and every student waited for her words. For once every student's eyes were on her, actually listening to her words.

"Heh heh. Heh heh." She started laughing evilly. The students stood with their mouths gaping. Why her? Why now? "Heh heh." She continued to laugh.

"Just get on with it!" shouted Tomo from the front row, leaping onto her feet.

Yukari cast her an ice cold look. "Anyways," Yukari continued, "every group will be going somewhere different. Some will go to Mexico, some will go to China, and some will go to London. That's in England for all of you with the mental capabilities of Tomo." She gave Tomo a victorious look. "One of you from each group will reach into this hat. There are pieces of paper with different countries and cities on it. Whatever you choose, that's where you're going. I was going to have you throw darts at a world map but figured that with people like Tomo in this class, someone would end up hurt. Chihiro, your group can pick first."

"Wow!" Chiyo-chan exclaimed. "We could end up going to so many fascinating places! I hope we go to someplace like Egypt! I'd love to study the pyramids!" Her big eyes shone with excitement. "What about you Miss Sakaki?"

Sakai smiled, daydreams of different animals dancing in her head. "Someplace like Brazil would be neat. We could go to the Rainforest. Africa would be cool too. We could go on a safari." She turned her face to the window, lost in her daydream of animals.

Chiyo-chan nodded. "Where do you want to go Yomi?"

Yomi thought for awhile. "I don't know. Maybe some romantic place like Paris. I hear there are some weird food there. I'd like to try some stuff." Different items of food danced across her eyes.

Chiyo-chan turned to Kagura. "And you Kagura?"

Kagura shrugged. "Hmm… Where's that place with that weird sport called Rugby? That would be cool to see. Learn to play it, yeah… that would be neat."

Chiyo-chan looked at Kagura with horror. "I've heard that's really dangerous!"

Kagura shrugged again. "Still be cool to try it out."

Tomo pushed Kagura to the side. "You know where I wanna go? The moon! Do you know how cool that would be? I could float around in a little spaceship on the ride there, eat floating food, doing flips and tricks in the air. And when we landed, I could jump across the surface. I'd have mad hops!"

A sweat drop appeared on Chiyo-chans's face. "Umm… I don't think that's an option…"

Tomo gasped. "What? That's only like… the coolest place ever!"

Osaka nodded, a dreamy look in her face. "I hope we go to Ireland. We could try to find a Leprechaun. Maybe we could get some gold from him."

Yomi stared in disbelief. "What! That's almost as stupid as your Chupacabra death thought!"

Tomo nodded with excitement. "Yeah! Yeah! Think of all the candy we could buy!"

Yomi screamed with rage. "Would you two think seriously for a minute? Honestly, I've seen smarted 5 year olds!"

"Chiyo-chan! You can pick for your group now." Yukari's voice rang out over Yomi's yells, stopping the girl's ramblings. Osaka and Tomo started chanting "Ireland… Ireland… Ireland…" Sakaki crossed her fingers. As Chiyo-chan dipped her fingers into the hat, her group looked on, huge smiles on their faces. The moment of truth! The trip that could change their lives!

Chiyo-chan slowly pulled out a piece of paper.

"C'mon, faster!" Tomo screamed angrily. "Hurry up! It won't bite you!"

Chiyo-chan did her best to ignore Tomo's shouts and she opened up the folded piece of paper. "Hey! We're going to New York!"

Osaka's face fell. "So no Leprechauns? No gold?"

"New York? Where's that? I've never heard of it!" Tomo yelled. "Why are we going to some made up place?"

Yomi sighed. "Tomo you idiot, it's in America."

"Oh… I knew that. Just quizzing you. You pass! 100! Keep on Keeping on!" Tomo gave Yomi the thumbs up yet again.

Kagura snorted. "You had no clue numbnut! Just admit it! We all know you're an idiot!"

Tomo paled. "Who you calling an idiot? I'm no idiot! I'm the great Tomo Takino! If you want a real idiot, talk to Osaka! Look at her!" She pointed at Osaka

Waterfalls of tears were falling down Osaka's face. "No… no gold… no leprechauns. It's not fair!"

Sakaki patted Osaka on the back, attempting to comfort her. Her cheeks burned red with embarrassment.

"I guess your right," agreed Kagura staring at the hysterical Osaka.

"Of course I'm right!" Tomo gave a victorious grin. "If there was a town full of idiots, Osaka would be Queen!"

Chiyo-chan and Yomi stared at each other, sharing a nervous look. Osaka as Queen, that would be scary.

Kagura laughed. "Ha! Then what would that make you? Princess?"

Tomo's mouth opened wide with anger. "You take that back! Take it back!"

She picked up piece of paper and rolled it into a cone.

"Wha? What's that for?" Kagura asked, scared.

Tomo gave Kagura an evil smile. "Oh wouldn't you like to know…" She pulled back her arm and let go, landing a barrage of whacks on Kagura's head.

Kagura and Tomo's shouts rang out in the classroom as Yomi and Chiyo-chan shared a look.

"This is going to be one long trip, huh Chiyo-chan." Yomi looked on as Tomo whacked Kagura again and again.

Chiyo-chan just nodded, words failing. This would be one long trip indeed.

Well, I hope you liked it I know there are a lot of short sentences, but well, that's Azumanga Daioh for you. I added what a Chupacabra is as I know I wasn't the only one who was wondering what the heck one was when Osaka wanted to see one at the zoo. Thanks for reading!
