Disclaimer:I DO NOT own Lucky Star (But i'm in a middle of a lawsuit! XD)
Notes:Yeah, yeah, yeah I'm not doing the script writing, calm down...It seems that's what the nay-sayers always say, as I say. But this DOESN'T mean I'm changing the story! (Ha!)
And people, "Ryu Asakura" ? Seriously? ITS A NAME! If it bothers you that much, then your (user)name would suck just as much. (probably worse, muwahaha! XD)
Oh yeah, you know how Lucky Star doesnt have a plot so they switch scenes every now and again? For example, one scene shows Tsukasa and about her cellphone, then, it switches to another different scene where Nanako Kuroi's computer is broken. Like that. Well there's gonna be some random switching scenes like that, but pay attention to the main story as well. (So you wont get confused)
Enjoy =)
On the day of the quiz, which felt like an exam to Konata, Kuroi-sensei kept waking Konata up from sleeping all day in class. Due to the all-nighter, plus, playing with Ryu on Runescape the day before, just like they timed. At lunch break, Miyukinoticed that Ryu hadn't come all day, and decided to ask Konata where he was.
"Man..." Konata yawned. "I wish Kuroi-sensei hadn't woken me up the third time...I was in the middle of riding Solar Aquarion." She said in a saddened tone. Miyuki and Tsukasa looked at each other in confusion. "A-ha! I know!" Konata said, lifting her head back up. "If I go back to sleep again, and think about where I last stopped at, I could probably continue my dream!" She looked at Miyuki. "Do you think that would work?"
Miyuki tilted her head up to think. "Well, I couldn't say it would work, depending on your memory, how did it go?" She asked. Konata put her hand on her chin and thought for a moment.
"Well, like I said, I was riding Solar Aquarion..." She nodded.
"Yes, and then?" Miyuki added. Konata thought for a second, but then frowned. "I...can't remember..." She said in disbelief.
"Oh, that's OK Kona-chan! I forget some of my dreams too. Especially when they're good ones." Tsukasa said, trying to cheer her up.
"That's OK, if I go to sleep again, maybe then I'll remember it!" She smiled with determination. Konata then rested her head on her arms, and closed her eyes. Suddenly, she started fidgeting, flipping her head, and crossing her legs.
"What's wrong Kona-chan?" Tsukasa asked. After more of her fidgeting, Konata replied in a disapointed tone, "I can't sleep."
"Yeah, it's really hard to sleep on the school's desk, it's so uncomfortable." Tsukasa said. Miyuki agreed with a nod. "Yes, they're usually so cold, and it's hard to arch your back to get comfortable when the desk is a little low." She commented. "Yeah! And sometimes I use my bag to use my bag to make it higher."
"It is a little cold in here. Great, now I'm wide awake." Konata growled. "I hope Ryu's having a boring time at home." Then, Miyuki remembered her question. "That's right! Kona-chan, where's your friend, Ryu?"
"Oh, don't worry about him." Konata smiled.
"Hey, I'm here." Kagami called. And everyone greeted her.
"Oh good, Kagamin! What took so long?" Konata asked.
"Well, Misao argued about me coming here, so I had to make up an excuse." She replied, pulling a chair and sitting down. She then looked around, then back at Konata. "Hey, where's that guy at? Your friend?"
Konata smirked. "Ah! You miss him already? Trying to steal my friend Kagamin?"
"What?! Shut-up! I'm just asking!" Kagami yelled.
"Well if you wanna know that bad..." Konata started. "He's just having a GameOver-HangOver." Tsukasa, Kagami, and Miyuki looked at her like she just made that up.
"GameOver...HangOver? What's that?" Tsuaksa asked.
"I think I came at a wrong time. Is that some sort of Otaku word?" Kagami asked.
"You can say it like that, not a lot of people use it though." Konata answered.
"People...As in normal people?" Kagami said in a sarcastic voice.
"Yup." Konata smiled.
"Uh, huh..." Kagami shook her head in disbelief.
"Well anyway, you know when you lose a game to some cocky player, and then you feel so bad, that you think that you need to level-up a little?" Konata asked. Miyuki slowly shook her head, Tsukasa slowly nodded, and Kagami just didn't pay any attention. "Yeah, that's what happened to Ryu-kun. I beat him silly on Dragonball Online." She said proudly. "The poor Namekian-sucker was just flying around helplessly. Though I think I beat him too bad. The "HangOver" part is when he stayed up all night leveling-up. Probably why he's not here now."
"So the main thing is; he's not sick at all, just skipping." Kagami said with a sigh. "Wait a minute!" Kagami said in surprise. "He's on there too?! Are you sure he's not a gaming freak like you?!" She asked, pointing at Konata.
Konata just smirked and ate a piece of her lunch. "I don't know, Kagami, do you think he is?"
Kagami gripped on her fork/chopsticks, threatening to break it. "Just answer the question!"
Konata shrugged. "Sorry," She started, then smiled. "As Mikuru would say, 'That's classified.'"
Kagami got even more frustrated, but Miyuki asked a question before Kagami could talk. "How come it's classified?" Konata then crossed her arms. "That's classified."
Kagami rolled her eyes. " Just tell us, I know you want to tell us anyway." She said munching on a Pocky stick.
"You got me." Konata smiled, and Kagami rolled her eyes again. "Well, it's classified because Ryu-kun told me; 'Don't tell them, 'cuz then they'll laugh at me'.Even though I don't see what the problem is with liking anime and games so much."
Miyuki and Kagami looked at each other. "Laugh at him? Why the heck would we laugh at him? We do hangout with you." Kagami said.
"That's what I said." Konata replied. "I'd tell you, but-"
Kagami interrupted her. "Wait! I already know the answer. It's 'classified'." She said using her fingers as quotation marks. "Yeeeah, but..." Konata said with a serious face. "It's a Triple X, secret underground, classified Information! It's so secret, if I told you, I'd have to kill you!"
"Is that so?" Kagami asked, not really believing it wasn't even that worthy of being secret. Konata nodded as if she were a real secret FBI agent. "Huh...Then why is it so secret?"
Konata pointed at her with her fork/chopsticks. "That's-"
Kagami interrupted. "Yeah, yeah, yeah, 'Classified', we get it." She groaned, getting tired of the word "classified."
"So how does his parents approve of this?" Miyuki asked.
"Oh yeah, come to think of it, do they just lethim do whatever he wants?" Kagami added.
"Well, you can say that but..." Konata started, but was, again, interrupted by Kagami. "OK! OK! We get it! It's classified!"
"Actually, it's not." Konata smiled. "You can say he can do whatever he wants, but that's only because his parents are away most of the time."
"Huh? Away? To do what exactly?" Kagami asked, but in the back of her head, praying Konata not to say the 'C' word.
"He told me his mom is an author of stories, poems, novels, that kind of boring stuff. And his dad is some sort of semiconductor. So his mom sometimes does book signings, interviews, yada, yada, yada, and his dad is trying to get a promotion by doing overtime." Konata explained.
Miyuki looked worried."Oh my, he must be lonely."
"Or undisiplined..." Kagami said under her breath.
"Yeah, maybe, but at the most, he's got me!" Konata proudly said. Miyuki giggled and nodded. "And he's got internet, so technically, he's not alone."
"Well, will he be back tomorrow?" Tsukasa finally spoke up.
"He better." Konata frowned. "Or I'll kill him again in Dragonball Online." Miyuki giggled at Konata's gaming threat, as Kagami put a hand on her forehead.

Tsuaksa was doing her homework (Or at least try to figure out a complicated math problem)at her desk but before she could get up and ask her twin, she shivered and dropped her pencil. "Oh man, why is it so cold in here? Is the AC on or something?" Tsukasa asked herself while rubbing her hands together. "I know! I'll take a hot bath!" She smiled. Tsukasa then went to the bathroom close to her room, but the door was closed. She didn't hear the shower on, she she turned the door handle, but it didn't move.
"Someones in here!" A voice said, which sounded like her eldest sister, Inori.
"Oh, sorry!" Tsukasa shouted through the door. So Tsukasa went to the bathroom next to her parents room, her toes began to freeze numb as she rubbed her arms warm. The door was open, and made Tsukasa glad, she was finally going to be warm. When she went inside, she she noticed something. "Where are all the towels?" Then, she remembered that last time she took a bath, she left a towel in her room. "I'll use that!" So she went back to her room and searched all over for the towel, she then found it under her bed. "Aha! There you ar-uh..." Unfortunately, the towel had dust, lint and other things from under her bed. "Oh..." After she dropped the towel in the laundry hamper. She then went to her mother, Miki. "Mom?" She called out.
"In here!" Her mother's voice answered in the kitchen. When Tsukasa went into the kitchen, her mother was preparing some sort of curry. "What's the matter, Tsukasa?"
"I need a towel, where are all the towels for the bathroom over there?" Tsukasa pointed in the direction of the bathroom that was still open.
"What about the other one?" Her mother asked.
"Inori's in there." Tsukasa sighed.
"Oh, well I'm washing them all right now, they were all wet, and used. Speaking of which, Tsukasa, could you check if they're done drying?" Tsukasa nodded and ran to the dryer and opened the small door. As she grabbed the towels, they weren't just dry, they just got done, and it felt so good since Tsukasa was cold. After checking that no one was around, she put the heated towels on top of the dryer and laid her head on them.
"Ahhhhh..." Was all she let out as she buried her arms inside. Then she felt her toes tingle, as if they were begging for some warmth. She then grabbed one towel to wrapped it around herself then wrapped another towel around her legs, low enough to cover her toes. It felt as if she were in a hot spa bath. It was so warm, she started to fall asleep in them, but just as she closed her eyes, the towels quickly became warm, then to cold. "No! Now I'm back to where I started!" Tsukasa said sadly to the towels. 'Why am I talking to towels?'Tsukasa thought to herself. 'Oh great, now I'm talking to myself!' She thought again. But before all hope was lost, she remembered something. 'The hot bath! Oh! I forgot!'She began to run to the bathroom, but then, turned around to grab a towel, and ran to the bathroom again, silently pleading that it wasn't taken. But, to her demise, the door was closing. "No! Wait!" Tsukasa said, grabbing the door handle.
"Woah! Hey! Wait your turn!" Her sister, Matsuri, yelled.
"But I was going in there!" Tsukasa said.
"OK? And you moved. This isn't YOUR bathroom you know!" Matsuri stated, gripping the handle.
"Yeah, but-" Matsuri had already slammed and locked the door. Tsukasa sadly sighed. Inori walked up to her while drying her head with a towel. (Dressed, mind you) "What are you doing slamming doors in people's faces?"
"Oh no! Matsuri was just-" Tsukasa started.
"It's OK, I was just kidding. I heard what Matsuri said, don't mind her, she just really needed to pee." Inori laughed. Tsukasa sighed, not really wanted to be laughed at by her sister. "You dosee me, right?" Inori asked. Tsukasa looked at her, not knowing what she meant. "I'm out of the bathroom now, go in the other one." She smiled.
Tsukasa remembered, and started to run off. "Thanks, sis!" But as soon as she turned the corner, she saw her sister, Kagami, about to open the door with a towel in her hand. Tsukasa really wanted this bath, so she yelled, but not too loud. "WAIT SIS!!!"It made Kagami jump like she had been caught stealing something. Tsukasa quickly ran towards her. "I-I was going in there! Please, please, please let me go in first!" Tsukasa begged.
"Alright, alright, Tsukasa, calm down." Kagami said, and moved out of the way. Tsukasa couldn't believe it, she did it! She was going to be warm once again. "Thanks Kagami." Tsukasa said, she went inside and locked the door. Inori came and looked at Kagami.
"Now she's yelling at people?" Inori joked again.
"What's her problem?" Kagami asked.
Inori smiled. "Maybe she became a cleaning freak-"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Tsukasa's scream was heard throughout the whole house.
~Later in Tsukasa's room~
Tsukasa was uncontolabley shivering under her bed covers. Inori was apologising with some hot tea. "I'm so sorry Tsukasa, I didn't know I used all of the hot water."
"S-so cold..." Tsukasa shook.

~At Asakura Household~
Ryu was watching TV about another child molestation victim while drinking grape juice. "Oh, man. Can't adults these days just TRY to go out with people their own age? Geez, it makes the otakus look bad." He complained to himself. "Oh right." He remembered. His mother had found out about him skipping school. So his punishment was:
No computer for a month, (which his mother took the power cord)
Do everyone's chores for a week, (mother's, father's & his own)
And the next time he was really sick, he would have to go to school. (but just like a headache, or a stomachache, not a cold or a flu, because then he could spread it)
'What a heartless mother I have...' He thought, shivering at the thought of no computer for a month. 'I just got there too, it's not like I was gonna learn something on the first day...geez...' He then got up to do the laundry. 'Well, if i don't do these now, she might make the computer punishment longer...or take away my games!' As he started drying the washed clothes, he picked up a large basket of the already dry clothes and started to walk to the living room.
As he passed his room, he heard the familiar sound of Neon Genesis Evangelion's opening theme. "Oh what the-?" He looked at the TV, then at the clothes, then at the TV, and back at the clothes. Then just decided to watch and fold at the same time. So he went to his room before he could miss it. Unfortunately, he couldn't see the glass of juice under the basket of clothes he was holding and tripped over it, making the glass spill, the clothes fall, and the clothes stain. When Ryu got up to see the chaos, his mouth dropped in shock. Even though the TV was still on, it was silent in Ryu's mind. 'M-my...moms...gonna....kill me...'

~At Izumi Household~
It was 4PM and Konata was using Kagami's notes to do her homework. It wasn't hard for Konata, it was just boring."Huh, it's still too early to do homework. I'll do it later." Konata said, moving away from her homework desk. "I wonder if Haruhi's on." She said, walking to the TV in the living room and turning it on.
~One hour later at 5:49PM~
"Oh! My homework." Konata said as she walked in her room. She sat down and answered one question. "Ah! I completed so much." She proudly said. That is, until her stomach growled. "Oh, you're hungry? Well, nothing but a hot bowl of instant raman can fix that! I can finish my homework when I come back." So Konata got up and got her hot instant raman that took 3 minutes to ready. Then, Konata tripped a little, but then caught herself in time to keep her raman from spilling. She looked at her homework. "Well, I don't wanna get anything dirty..." She smiled very cat-like and turned to her computer. "I should eat at a more reasonable place."
~Three hours later at 8:22PM~
As Konata finished off a demon in a cave while playing World of Warcraft. "Hey, where's Ryu-kun at?" A messege popped up, and to her surprise, it was from NANACON.
NANACON:izumi! i hope ur not just horsing around on WoW! u got tht assinment done?
Konata freaked out a little when she read the "H" word. She remembered her homework that was just lying on her desk behind her. Konata stuggled to think up a lie.
KURA-KONA:well dur sensei! X3 i totally got tht down! no problm! ezpz! (translation: easy-peasy)
Konata sighed in relief, as though she got off the hook. When NANACON didn't type anything back, Konata decided to change the subject, just in case. As she was typing: "how about we level up sum? so we can finally-", a bubble popped up that NANACON was typing.
NANACON:DO U RELLY TINK IM THT STTUPID?! DO THTT ASSSIGNNMENTT NOW!!1 OR DO I HAV 2 FLUMK U???
Konata was shocked at her sensei's speed typing, deleted her current sentence and rewrote.
KURA-KONA:whoa sensei! relex! u hav 2 many typos!!! DX
NANACoN: GET OF OFF HER NOW!!! DXBE4 I CALL UR FATHER!! U WONT BE GETING THT RATED M GAME WIT POOR GRADS, HUH?!
Konata panicked.
KURA-KONA:ALRIGHT! ALRITE! IM OFF! IM OFF!
~Three hours later at 11:34PM~
Konata was under her covers on her bed, while playing a DS game with the lights off. She yawned and saved her game, closed the DS, and checked her clock.
"Whoa, I've been up for a long time. Oh well, time to sleep."
As she closed her eyes, she quietly ranted in her mind about her sensei kicking her off of WoW. She was last standing in a cave, so the next time she would get on, she'd have to fight her way out. She sighed in fustration, but then remembered what her sensei asked her. Konata quickly sat up, and looked at her study desk. The book, and notebook was still open, cold, and untouched.
"Oh, geez." Konata sighed tiredly. But looked at her clock again, and sighed. "I'll just do it early in the morning...yeah." She said as she laid back down and drifted off into sleep.
~Final Scene Switch~
~At Kuroi Household~
Nanako sighed as she logged off of WoW. "That girl just doesn't know that work comes first." She checked her e-mail and noticed that Konata's father was on. "At this time?" She said to herself, looking at the clock. In the begining of the school year, Konata slacked off way too much. So she sended a letter to her father, Soijiro, to come to a parent teacher confrence. After that was settled, Soijiro gave her his e-mail address to contact him about Konata's effort. Since then, Konata has never gotten another F.
"Might as well tell him before his daughter slips too much." So Nanako types about how Konata was on WoW and not doing her homework. She then reread the letter, and decided not to be all negetive about it. So she added that after asking Konata do continue her work, Konata obeyed. After sending the letter, she wanted to wait for a response, but was too tired, and didn't have the energy to keep her eyes open. So Nanako turned off her computer, and slept on her bed.
~Chapter End~
HOORAY!!! I'm done!!! Sorry it took so long to do this, but i'm in the summer time now, so usually i'm just sleeping. X3 Sorry! BTW, if you're wondering if that's Nanako and Konata's actual user names (NANACON & KURA-KONA), I don't think they are because I just made them up. ( I dont wanna hear ANY b**ching about the made up user names either!)
Oh, yeah for future readers, this story was made BEFORE Dragon Ball Online was released in America.
