Hi all, Sorry I've been gone a while but there was a serious illness in the family but now everything is thankfully okay. Actually things have been fine for a while but I still wasn't ready to continue my writing, but now I feel the time is right. I also have a lot of reading to catch up on from you guys so I will read and review each one of your stories I promise. (smiles) I thought I'd return with a happy little story before I continue Sailor Moon "Loyalties" And to make it more interesting I've decided to write a story about another anime series that I find to be very...'interesting' And since December is almost here I thought I'd try my hand on writing a Christmas story.

Azumanga Christmas Tales
By Tuxedodude
HERE WE GO...
It was a cold snowy December afternoon at Azumanga High School. (That's what I'm gonna call their Alma Mater 'kay?) The girls were in their homeroom. Chiyo was looking out the window seeing the snow as her eyes twinkled. Sakaki couldn't help but blush seeing the little girl enjoying the white blanket forming outside.
Tomo was being her usual self, teasing Yomi about her weight, which of course earned her a big uppercut from Yomi.
Kagura just stared at Tomo. "She will never learn." she thought.
The classroom door slid open. "MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!" Osaka yelled. Out of all the girls Osaka seemed to be the one who enjoyed Christmas the most.
"Merry Christmas Osaka-san." responded Chiyo. Osaka just stared at everyone with the glassy eyed look she always gave with a small smile. But this time there was a different feeling coming from her.
"Osaka, you're creeping me out." Tomo finally said. Osaka just kept staring at them. "I have wonderful news...my parents are going out of town to attend a Christmas Party given by the company where my Daddy works and I'm gonna be all alone on Christmas Eve."
The others just stared at her. "Osaka-chan that is terrible news." Chiyo said.
"Yeah doesn't it bother you that you're gonna be all alone on Christmas Eve?" Kagura added.
"Not really, you see my Daddy said I could invite all my friends for a little get together at my house that night." Osaka answered.
Chiyo just stared at her. "But Osaka-chan, I already had planned to celebrate Christmas with my Mom and Dad, we're gonna spend the evening singing Christmas Carols."
This caused Sakaki to quickly stare at Chiyo and then she imagined how the evening would go.
Sakaki's Thoughts...
"Chiyo, let's sing some Christmas Carols." said the Large yellow cat. "Okay." Chiyo said with a smile.
Here
comes Santa Claus,
Here comes Santa Claus,
Right down Santa
Claus Lane,
Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer
Are pulling
on the reins.
Bells are ringing, children singing,
All is merry
and bright.
Hang your stockings and say your prayers,
'Cause
Santa Claus comes tonight.
Here
comes Santa Claus,
Here comes Santa Claus,
Right down Santa
Claus Lane,
He's got a bag that is filled with toys
For the
boys and girls again.
Hear those sleigh bells jingle jangle,
What
a beautiful sight,
Jump in bed, cover up your head,
'Cause
Santa Claus comes tonight.
Back to Reality...
Everyone just stared at Sakaki as she covered her face with her hands and was blushing and shaking.
"Anyway..." Kagura finally said. "It's nice that you invited us and all, but we each have our own families to celebrate Christmas with."
The Osakan girl just stared at all of them and asked a very simple question... "Don't you like me?"
Everyone was surprised by Osaka's question. "Of course we like you Osaka-chan." Chiyo said. Osaka then gave a big smile. "Then you'll come to my get together?"
Everyone just stared at each other. "I will go." Sakaki said which caused Osaka to jump up and down in happiness.
Osaka took out an envelope and gave it to Sakaki. "Here is your invitation." Sakaki took the envelope and then stared at everyone else. "I do not wish for Osaka-san to be alone."
"Well I guess I could stop by for a bit as well." Kagura said. Osaka then handed her an envelope as well.
"Hey all the numbnuts have got to stick together right." Tomo said as she grabbed Osaka's invitation from her.
"I'd better go to." Yomi said. "Just in case Tomo tries something...Tomo-like." She got her invitation from Osaka.
Chiyo smiled. "Okay Osaka-san, I'll go, I'm sure my parents would understand." This caused Osaka's eyes to twinkle as she handed Chiyo her invitation.
"Arigato" Osaka said as she bowed.
Outside the classroom, Kaorin was listening in. "Oh Sakaki-san, you are such a Noble person to think of others than yourself. Not letting Miss Osaka be by herself on Christmas Eve." she thought. She was still depressed that she was no longer in the same class as her beloved Sakaki-san. She also felt that she was drifting away from her former classmates. No matter what they seemed to do, it was always the six of them everywhere.
Back inside the classroom, Tomo pounded her fist on a desk. "Okay then..." she started, "are we gonna do a Secret Santa?"
Osaka looked confused. "But I don't think Santa keeps any secrets."
"No Osaka-chan, Tomo means if we are going to draw names to see who's going to give who a present." Chiyo told her.
"Oh yes, but I don't want to participate as I think this get together at my house will be my present to all of you."
Yomi scratched her head. "Wait, but then there will be only five of us, one of us wouldn't get a present."
"Yes you will, you see I still have one invitation left." She took out an envelope. "It's for Kaorin."
"Do you think she'll want to go." asked Kagura. Suddenly the classroom door slid open. "YES!!!!" Kaorin screamed as she quickly grabbed the invitation from Osaka's hand.
Everyone stared at her. Kaorin just blushed. "Uh, I mean it would be my honor to attend your Christmas function." she said as she bowed.
"Well then all that's left is to draw names." Yomi said.
Everyone except Osaka wrote their names on a strip of paper and placed it in a small box.
"I'll go first." Tomo quickly said as she took out a name.
"Well who did you get?" Kagura asked. Tomo just stared at the name with disappointment. "I...I...I GOT CHIYO-CHAN!!!!!" Sakaki was also disappointed, she was hoping that she would have drawn Chiyo's name.
"And what's wrong with drawing Chiyo's name?" asked an annoyed Yomi.
"Don't you get it, now I gotta buy something cute for her, what if someone I know sees me with something cute, I have a reputation to keep."
"YOU DON'T HAVE ONE TO BEGIN WITH!!!!" Yomi screamed.
Kagura drew the next name. "I got...KIMURA!!!!!!" everyone in the room got a pale look.
"How the heck did Kimura's name get in there?" Tomo demanded. Suddenly someone walked up behind Kagura. "Even though I was hoping my dear Kaorin would draw my name, I would be satisfied if you got me a gift, maybe some mistletoe."
Kaorin shook as Kimura said her name. But Kagura was shaking as well...in fury.
"GET THE HELL AWAY FROM ME!!!!" she yelled as she grabbed him and threw him out of the classroom.
Kagura grabbed another strip of paper from the box and slowly stared at it. "Kaorin."
Kaorin's heart sank, she was hoping that her Sakaki-san would have drawn her name. "She's probably gonna get me some handweights or something." she thought.
Sakaki decided to go next. She slowly pulled out the name. "Yomi." she said without emotion.
Chiyo drew next. "I got Kagura." she said with a smile.
"I hope she doesn't get me anything cute." thought Kagura
"Well that just leaves Tomo and Sakaki." Chiyo said.
Yomi just stared at the box. "Um Kaorin, why don't you choose next." she had a feeling that the next name that was going to be pulled out next was Tomo's and if she did get her, she knew how Tomo was going to get.
Yomi's Thoughts...
"Yomi, you should be honored that you got me..."
"Just make sure you don't get me something cheap..."
"Hey I heard their having a sale on ipods at the electronic store..."
Back to Reality...
"Yomi are you sure that you don't want to draw fir..." Kaorin started.
"JUST PICK A DAMN NAME!!!!!!" Yomi screamed as everyone stared at her.
Kaorin slowly got a piece of paper and slowly unfolded it. She stared at the name and just stood there with a blank look on her face.
"Well who'd you get?" asked Kagura.
"I...got... MISS SAKAKI!!!!!" she felt like she was walking on clouds.
Yomi turned pale. "Then that means..."
Tomo gave a wide smile.
"Yomi, you should be honored that you got me..."
"Just make sure you don't get me something cheap..."
"Hey I heard their having a sale on ipods at the electronic store..."
Yomi started pounding her head on her desk.
