This is my first Azumanga fic, please don't kill me! The first paragraph is narrated by Yukari, then by Nyamo, and the same sequence for the next paragraphs.

So at around eleven o'clock this morning, I called Nyamo and she snapped my head off, calling me immature and totally void of all consideration for anyone but myself. I think that was really quite unfair, seeing as I only asked if she could front the bill for today's trip to Magical Land. And then she said, "What trip to Magical Land? Honestly, Yukari, why has it never crossed your mind that people might have better things to do with their Sundays than go to a kiddie's theme park? You're so… totally void of consideration for anyone other than yourself!" But, I stood my ground, and after a few minutes of pleading, she gave in. This is why I love Nyamo-chan.

I was being dragged around the theme park like a dog on a leash, when Yukari suddenly stopped at a monstrous ride, it must have been half a kilometre tall; The Tsunami. There wasn't all that much of a queue, and Yukari rambled through the checklist. "We're over that height, no heart problems or back problems, not pregnant because I'm nice and sensible and Nyamo can't get a man, yadda yadda yadda…" That was when I felt scared. There wasn't really anything much that was going to happen, but I couldn't convince myself, and Yukari knew that I loved riding rollercoasters, she'd see right through fake sensibility. Then her special shut-up-brat voice brought me back down to earth. "Oi, chalkface, you scared?"

Heh heh, there's nothing better than flattering someone and blackmailing them at the same time! The great Kurosawa Minamo has met her downfall… in the Tsunami ride at Magical Land. I still got her to go on it, with my mighty powers of persuasion. It was pure total wicked! It twisted this way and that, and looped a bit, and then it went straight up… then dooooown! Oh, it was brilliant! Nyamo-chan looked rather green most of the way through though, but she looked completely wasted by the end of it, she was clutching on to the exit railing like it was her means of life support.

The ride had been bearable, but only just, as I felt horrible all the way. The vertigo was terrible, and coupled with unusually intense nausea; it felt slightly like I was imploding. When I got out, I could hardly walk because of this dull, but crippling stomach pain. Admittedly, I didn't pay much attention to it until it was too late, because when I got down the steps and had to straighten myself up, I doubled over in pain and fell to the ground. I knew what that pain was, and I was scared. That pain meant my future, my social life, and my career as a teacher. I could barely hear Yukari shouting down her mobile to bring the ambulance quick, this woman was her ride home as everything faded into black…

How's that for a clichéd cliffhanger? How's that for alliteration? hands out slices of chocolate cake to all who read

Please review, and I will see you next chapter!
