(Part 2)
"THIS IS KIDNAPPING!!!!!!" Kagura screamed as she was sat in between Yomi and Tomo.
"This is for your own good." Yomi said.
"Yeah, we've heard you've become a sourpuss lately." Tomo added.
"A get together with old friends will do wonders for you." Sakaki, who was driving said.
"Well you can forget it, I guarantee I won't have a good time." Kagura said.
"We'll see about that." Chiyo said as she smirked.
"Hey Sakaki, slow down a bit will you, you're almost going over the speed limit." Tomo said.
"Sorry." Sakaki said as she slowed down. "Guess I'm just a bit anxious to get there."
"Well I'm just ready to show off my hot bod in this new swimsuit I got." Yomi said.
"They've all changed." Kagura thought.
"Hey, do ya think the sun follows us wherever it goes, because it's still there over us." Osaka said.
"Most of them." Kagura thought as she sweat dropped.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"We're here." Sakaki said as she drove up in front of the Mihama Summer House.
"It's still as awesome as I remember." Tomo said as she was the first one to get off.
"This is gonna be a great weekend." Yomi said as she got out to stretch.
"And I suppose you're gonna throw the key away like you always do." Kagura said as she narrowed her eyes.
"What are you kidding, I'm way beyond that." Tomo said as she did a salute. "I'm an officer of the law now."
"Oh yeah, you're so dedicated that you like to give the Prime Minister's mother a ticket." Yomi said as she smirked.
"Hey, no one is above the law." Tomo responded.
"Wait, you gave the Prime Minister's mom a ticket?" Kagura asked.
"She was doubled parked, I can't allow that in my watch." Tomo answered.
"Wow I gotta admire you Tomo, that took a lot of guts." Kagura said as she gave her classic smile.
"What's that on your face Kagura-san?" Chiyo asked. "Oh I do believe it's a smile."
Kagura quickly frowned. "Hey, I said I refuse to have a good time and I meant it." She then stared at the house. "Well are you gonna open it or are we gonna stand out here all day."
Sakaki put her arm around Kagura. "Don't worry Kagura, after this weekend you'll be back to your old self."
"What have you done to the real Sakaki?" Kagura asked.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After they had all settled in, everyone except Kagura who was sitting outside on the porch, we're sitting around the table in the middle of the house relieving their high school memories.
"And then Osaka asked what crime did Chiyo-Chan commit." Yomi said.
"And you still haven't told me." Osaka said as she crossed her arms and pouted.
"Osaka, it was a cosplay race, we were just wearing costumes." Chiyo replied.
Osaka just stared at Chiyo. "What happened to your pigtails?" she asked.
"Oh I stopped wearing them since I turned 15, I figure I was getting to old to have them." Chiyo replied.
"YOU FINALLY DEFEATED THEM!!!!" Osaka said as she gave Chiyo a huge hug.
Tomo just laughed at the site before her. "Careful Osaka, or you might squeeze the life out of her."
"OH NO I DUN WANNA DO THAT!!!!" Osaka said as she quickly let go of Chiyo.
Everyone except Osaka started to laugh.
"Don't ever change Osaka." Yomi said.
"Why am I starting to look different?" Osaka replied in a different tone.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kagura stared at her friends as they kept talking. "They sure do seem to be having a good time." She thought. "No, I said I wasn't gonna have fun and that's that."
Once again she started to think about the time she had qualified for the Olympics and then the idiotic thing she did afterwards. "They all got to do what they want, Sakaki owns a flower shop, Chiyo is a teacher, Yomi a radio personality, Tomo a policewoman, even Osaka… well I don't know what she does, but she also seems happy. Me, I'm just a loser."
"No you're not." A voice said behind her.
Kagura looked up and saw Tomo standing there.
"What happened to you Kagura, you're giving the Bonkura's a bad name." Tomo said as she sat next to her.
"What do you care, you never had a care in high school." Kagura replied.
"Well let's see maybe because….. I've grown up." Tomo replied as she put her arm around Kagura. "I mean I know what happened to you at the Olympic Qualifier."
"Oh and I supposed you got a big laugh about it." Kagura replied.
"Hell yeah." Tomo told her. "In fact I think I peed in my pants."
"Still the blunt one eh Tomo." Kagura said as she sighed.
"The point is, you gave up." Tomo said. "The Kagura I know wouldn't have done that, hell, she would just work even harder for the next trials."
"I'm gonna be to old by then." Kagura replied as she stood up.
"Never say never." Tomo said as she stared at her. "Look at me, people said it couldn't happen, but I'm a policewoman now, and even right now they have me at crossing guard duty, I know that one day, people will see that I can be the best cop in the world."
"Wait you got crossing guard duty?" Kagura asked.
"Well yeah." Tomo replied.
"Because of what you did to the Prime Minister's mom?" Kagura said as she gave a small laugh.
"Well it's not really that funny." Tomo said as she sweat dropped.
"Oh God, that is so funny." Kagura said as she started to laugh.
"Wait a second, you didn't let me finish cheer you up."
The other Azu-Girls ran out.
"Kagura-san are you okay?" A concerned Chiyo asked.
"Hey…guys…." Kagura said as she had trouble speaking because of her laughing. "Did you know…. Did you know….."
"What?" Yomi asked.
"It's nothing." Tomo replied.
"TOMO WAS ASSIGNED CROSSING GUARD DUTY?!!!!!!" Kagura screamed as she fell on the ground laughing.
Everyone else just stared at Kagura… then at Tomo… then they all started laughing as well.
"Great, you try and do something nice and this is what happens." Tomo grumbled. "I'm turning in." she said as she started to go inside.
"Careful Tomo, you have to look both ways before crossing the deck." Yomi said as she continued to laugh.
"Even I wouldn't be dumb enough to do give a ticket to an important mommy." Osaka said as she continued to laugh as well.
"So much for a very touching moment." Tomo said as went inside as a click was heard.
"Oh that Tomo, she's a classic." Chiyo said as she wiped some tears from her eyes.
Sakaki then got a serious look on her face. "She is a classic indeed. She locked us out."
All the Azu-Girls then ran up to the door and started to bang on it.
"YOU'D BETTER OPEN THIS DOOR RIGHT NOW IF YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR YOU TAKINO!!!!!" Yomi yelled.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The wildcat strikes again." Tomo thought as she was sitting in a chair as she smirked.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next day Everyone woke up after spending the night in the van.
"I gotta admit, we deserved it." Kagura said as she stretched.
"No kidding." Yomi added. "Tomo tried to show us how much she changed and because we teased her, the wildcat in her got us in the end."
The front door opened at Tomo walked out wearing a swimsuit. "So are you guys gonna change or are you gonna spend the day there."
Kagura stormed up to Tomo. "Takino…. I only have one thing to say to you."
"What?" Tomo responded.
Kagura then hugged her. "Arigato." she said with tears in her eyes as she then turned to the others. "I'm sorry to everyone for acting like such a jerk, I just hope you all can forgive me."
"Hey the six of us are like sisters, there is no way we can be angry at you." Chiyo said.
"Well then, how about we hit the beach then." Kagura said as she gave her classic smile.
"YEAH!!!!!" All the Azu-Girls yelled.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The rest of the day, the Azu-Girls just kept having fun swimming, playing beach volleyball and continuing to reminisce more of their days in high school.
"Hey that reminds me, does anyone know whatever became of Kaorin?" Yomi asked.
"Actually no one's heard anything from her since graduation." Kagura replied.
"Even Chihiro says she lost touch." Chiyo added.
"Well maybe she got heartbroken cause she never told her feelings for Sakaki." Osaka said.
"Huh?" Sakaki asked.
"Oh come on, don't tell me you've never noticed that Kaorin had a crush on you." Tomo said.
"I had no clue." Sakaki replied as she sweat dropped.
"Come on it was obvious to everyone." Yomi said.
"Yeah." Tomo said as she sat up at put her hands on her cheeks. "SAKAKI-SAAAAAAAAN!!!!!!" And then she sighed. "She's the most coolest ever."
Sakaki then blushed in embarrassment. "I thought she was just being polite." Sakaki said.
"Well we don't have to worry about it anymore, who knows where she is now." Tomo said as she stretched.
"Too bad that we can't do this more often." Chiyo said as she looked at the stars. "I sure miss our times together.
"Me too." Yomi said. "It really takes me back."
"Well why don't we do something then, something big, I'm getting some time off from the force in a few weeks."
"And the school is going on a break." Chiyo added.
"And I can leave my assistant in charge of my shop." Sakaki also said.
Yomi just stared at them. "I don't think I can go, I mean I got my radio show."
Tomo just put her arm around Yomi. "Come on Yomi, where's that new woman that we all saw earlier." She said. "The one who just that all this took her back." She said.
"Well…. I guess they can use a guest host for a little while." Yomi said as she smiled.
"Okay then.." Tomo said as she pumped her fist in the air. "Let's do something wild then."
"Like what?" Kagura asked.
"Um…. I was hoping you guys would think of something." Tomo responded as she sweat dropped.
Osaka then stared at Chiyo and then smiled. "Hey I got it, let's go see America." she said.
"THAT'S A GOOD IDEA!!!!!" Tomo said as she stood up and pumped her fist in the air….again.
"You know you don't really have to do that everythime you get excited." Yomi said as she sighed.
"Well I suppose we could take one of the Tours that go across America, I'm sure it will be fun." Chiyo said.
"I've always wanted to visit America." Sakaki said as she then got a serious look. "But what about Maya, I don't think my friend where he's staying at right now can take care of him for that long.
"And my parents are going on their second honeymoon so Tadakichi has nowhere to stay as well." Chiyo added.
"Well that's a problem." Yomi said.
"Wait, I think I know who can watch them." Chiyo said as she took out her cellphone.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A few weeks later, the Azu-Girls were at the airport ready for their exciting trip to tour America. And there to see them off was Tadakichi, Maya, and the person Chiyo called to watch them while they were gone.
"Thanks again Chihiro-san for looking after them." Chiyo said as she bowed.
"Indeed." Sakaki said as she bowed as well.
"Hey it's no trouble at all, my apartment is huge, and I promise I will take good care of them." Chihiro responded as she closed her eyes and smiled.
"Well I'd guess we'd better get on the plane." Yomi said as she took out her ticket to make sure she had it."
"Bye Mr. Tadakichi, you take care of yourself." Chiyo said as she hugged him.
"You to Maya, behave yourself." Sakaki said as she rubbed her head which caused the iromite cat to purr.
"Bye-guys, take care." Chihiro said as she waved.
And with that, the Azu-Girls started of what would hopefully be the biggest adventure of their lives.
DA DA DAA DA DA DAA DA DA DAAA DAAA DAAA!!!!!!!
