Magical Land: The Return - Chapter 1
DISCLAIMER : I DO NOT OWN AZUMANGA DAIOH
"YAY! I can't believe we're going to Magical Land again! Well, I can, but its better this time because Yomi's with us!" Tomo bounced around in her seat on the train to Magical Land. Straight after finding out Yomi's good news of being accepted into collage, the small circle of friends made their way to the train station with an eager Tomo leading them there.
"Ace reporter, Tomo Takino, is first on the scene to question Miss Mizuhara on how she feels about this achievement! Yomi!" Tomo pretended to hold an invisible microphone and shout into it, causing the other people in the carriage to stare at her in annoyance. "How do you feel about getting into collage?" Tomo pressed while holding the 'microphone' in Yomi's face.
"…go away." said Yomi, bluntly. She was sat next to Tomo and had been the main target for her comments for the whole 30 minutes they'd been on the train, Yomi was just thankful they were almost at their destination.
Sakaki, who had been stood up and looking out the window behind the bickering two girls, suddenly pointed out the glass and towards the mass of steel structures in the distance which just so happened to be Magical Land.
"We're here." Sakaki said in her usual solemn tone with only the slightest hint of excitement. Sakaki's proclaiming made a suddenly eager Yomi swivel round in her small seat and stared with an unsaid desire at the oncoming theme park. Her reaction, of course, caught the immediate attention of Tomo which caused the wildcat to smirk and lean up close to Yomi and begin the torment.
"Aw, is wittle Yomi excited about going on all the rides and eating all the fast food there?" Tomo cooed, clasping her hands together like she was talking to a small child to which Yomi responded with a quick glare but then continued to gaze out of the window.
Kagura, who was also stood up next to Sakaki, sweat dropped and turned towards Chiyo who was giggling and bouncing up and down in her seat next to Osaka who had her regular vacant expression on.
"So are you excited, Chiyo-chan?" Kagura enthused, pumping her fist in the air.
"Oh, yes! I've been looking forward to this since Tomo mentioned it!" Chiyo replied with the usual chirp and eye smile.
"Say, Chiyo-chan. Don't ya think it'll be kinda scary on them roller-coasters? Won't your pigtails fall off if ya get too scared, Chiyo-chan?" The slurred voice of Osaka finally made itself present making one of her rash and unexplainable theory's. Chiyo sweat dropped and began a conversation with the space cadet as to why she always thought her pigtails were alive meanwhile the rest of the girls were each engaging in their own conversations, Tomo and Yomi were mainly arguing though.
As the circle of friends got closer and closer to Magical Land their slowly approaching adventure nearly began. They wanted it to go by without much of a hiccup along the way but that dream was about to be shattered along with Sakaki's resistance to candy, Chiyo and Osaka's will to give into claw machines, Tomo's dignity, and Kagura's kinda calm persona. Yomi? Well, she'll be there, don't worry but as the train began slowing down so it could reach the station Yomi, normally the mature person in the group, threw all of her previous promises of remaining calm out the window and practically flung herself out the doors as soon as they opened.
"Hey! Yomi! Wait up! We know you're excited but you gotta PAY to get in!" It took a moment for the other girls to notice one of their comrades had disappeared and another for Kagura to notice Yomi was already queued up outside a crowded vendor selling wristbands to get into the park. As Yomi waited and watched the line get shorter she felt the childish excitement build up inside her again but this time she wouldn't have any flu or colds or whatever stop her having a good time with her friends. Speaking of which, she should have probably waited for them first, after all, she had left her wallet with Sakaki...
