Author Notes:

I've been thinking of publishing my episodes every 5 days. Somebody tell me if the quality of my work has been reduced, 'cus quality of work is important to me.

So…yeah…episodes should actually be this long. But...umm...my goal is 5,000 words per chapter. I reached it alright...but it included the Credits and Lucky Channel. XD

Oh yeah! Check my profile! There's a poll there which concerns the future of the 3rd year High School Students in Lucky Star. I figured I'd find out what you wanted to happen to this story as a whole.

Caution:

Do not read this unless you watched the whole series of Lucky Star (anime). This is not manga-based, but the new characters that didn't appear in the anime would usually be.

"Nothing like celebrating the end-years! So Miyuki…got plans for Christmas?" Konata was asking Miyuki while they were hanging out together with Tsukasa and Kagami.

"I don't think I have plans Konata…other than the usual giving of presents and all…" Miyuki admitted.

"That's great then…so please won't you come to Comiket with me?" Konata's puppy dog expression was a bit staggering.

"Oh geez, Konata! Don't let Miyuki suffer the same as when I and Tsukasa went with you to Comiket!" Kagami pinched Konata's ears to make sure she's serious.

"Ouch…that hurt…so that's what Brock felt when he was constantly being pinched by Misty and Max." Konata said. "But Miyuki, it'll be a great experience to learn about the great festival!"

"Sure, Konata, why not?" Miyuki said, seemingly being a bit ignorant.

"Promise. It'll be more than you can handle." Kagami warned Miyuki. "Even Tsukasa found it almost impossibe…but maybe it wouldn't be that bad for you Miyuki…"

"So…Tsukasa…are you coming too?" Konata asked Tsukasa.

"I-I don't think I'm cut out for it Kona-chan. But I'll try my best, Kona-chan," said Tsukasa as she agrees to go with Konata to Comiket.

"So that settles then…there'll be about 8 of us coming to Comiket…and it'll be a lot different this time." Konata declares…

"Eh…eight?" Kagami asked curiously with a half-surprised face.


Opening Theme: Mottoeke! Sailor Fuuku


Episode 3

Comiket! Reloaded!

(Also called The Last Days IV)


FLASHBACK


About a month ago, Konata went to Hiyori's class to give Hiyorin the plot for the third volume of the Lucky Star manga.

"Hey, Hiyorin and Patty!" Konata greeted them.

"Oh Konata, what's up?" Hiyori questioned.

"I'm fine." Konata said. "So how's the manga coming up? I was supposed to give to you the summary for the whole third volume of the Lucky Star manga."

"Oh…that! I'm quite done with the second chapter! In fact, I'm kinda in the mood for drawing more…" Hiyori was glad she was drawing manga…not that she had an ideas though, but Konata is really the ones supplying the ideas.

At least Konata's making decisions for me. I'm terrible at that. Yup! Yup! Yup! – Hiyori.

"So I guess you're going there, Konata…Comiket?" Patricia said. "I wanna go there as well!"

"Oh sure, Patty…" Konata agreed. "And Hiyori…you have a stand in Comiket already?"

"Yeah…but I'll be coming in some friends along…!" Hiyori said as her eyes sparkled.

"Umm...who?" Konata asked.

"I guess I forgot to mention, Konata…'cus I'm actually a member of a club. It's called the Animation Research Club."

"Oh…I'll go there later…what room is it?"

"…"

"Oh okay."


It wasn't much long before Konata realized it was dismissal time. Usually the first thing Konata would do is to directly go home with Kagami and Tsukasa like she always does, but this time, it's quite different. She's going to meet a strange club called Animation Reseach Club. She went through some familiar corridors, and took the stairs to an unknown set of rooms usually full of club rooms. (Note: Konata has never joined clubs before.) Searching for the room number of the Animation Reseach Club, she finally found it.

Oh there it is…I wonder who'd join this club. But if Hiyori is there, this club must be something. – Konata.

Konata opened the room, and was surprised to see a few posters of animes…xxxH *l*c, P*k*m*n, and even some mangas like W*rk*ng!, and Ts*b*s* Chr*n*cl*s.

A girl turned around seeing Konata. She was a bit tanned like Misao, but had a hairstyle similar to Patricia. She has light yellow hair and orange eyes.

"YOU!" Konata and the girl said, both surprised at each other for some reason.

"So it seems you already know each other eh?" Hiyori commented.

"Oh…so we are." Konata confirmed. "It was when I was at the arcade. I was playing this DBZ fighting game, and nobody could beat me. That was until she came. She almost beat me 5 seconds on the clock, but then I did my favorite move of mine – Kamehameha, and it was a tie! Since then, we've been going there every once in a while. Sometimes I lose, and sometimes I win. Nice meeting you again, Kou Yasaka."

"So am I, Konata Izumi." Kou said as both of them did the Yu-Jo friendship handshake.

"So…what class are you Konata?" Kou asked her.

"Uhh…3-B?"

"Oh…okay. I'm in 2-F by the way." Kou said as she laughs out in vain.

That was weird…does Kou even care that I'm her senior? – Konata.

"So…Hiyori and Kou, are you the only members here?" Konata asked them, much to their dismay.

"Well…actually we don't…" Kou sadly admitted. "But we already planned on making Patty join us…"

"Oh that's good." Konata said. "So what do you do here?"

"Well…this club's goal is to watch anime everyday! We even do that here!" Kou declared with a round of applause coming from Hiyori.

Konata felt silent. What was she supposed to think? Is such a club good or bad? She could only try to change the conversation.

"So Hiyorin, make sure to ask for Kou for help when you need it okay?"

"Yeah yeah…" Hiyori replied a bit rather sarcastically.

As if Kou knows how to, or does she? – Hiyori.


"Your story doesn't make sense." Kagami commented. "Me, Kou, Hiyori, Patricia, Miyuki, Tsukasa, and you only makes us 7. Who's the 8th one?"

"Oh didn't I tell you?" Konata revealed. "My father will come as well."

Miyuki, Tsukasa, and Kagami froze in surprise.

I just hope that her father won't…*gulp* - Kagami.

"You're thinking my father is a Lolita pervert aren't you?" Konata said to Kagami with a smirk on her face.

"Grrr… KONATA! SHUT UP WILL YOU!" Kagami almost yelled like a tiger.

"And wild Kagami uses Roar." Konata said. "But hey that's ok. My father is always like that."

"Geez, Konata, at this rate, you'll probably find yourself punished by the gods. And it's the end-years!" Kagami nagged.

"That's not very nice!" Konata said in her disappointment.


"So Yukata, aren't you going with Konata and the others?" Hiyori asked Yukata during lunch. As usual, during lunch, it's always Yukata, Minami, and Hiyori together. Well…not exactly.

"I don't think I could handle it. Konata said that people would just take countless pictures of me." Yukata said. "I wonder why though?"

With that kind of moe, you'll be able to seduce any otaku in Comiket! – Hiyori.

"So…isn't your sister, Yui-san, coming along with them by car?"

"Nah. Konata's father said that they'll just commute." Yukata responded.

Konata's father always know what reasons to give to Yukata. His reasoning was perfect I say. Perfect! – Hiyori.

"Oh…hey Hiyorin!" Konata said as she, Kagami, Miyuki, Tsukasa, and Patricia went to Yukata's table.

"Oh hey! I just finished the manga!" Hiyori said to Konata as she greeted her. "It was hard work, but thanks to your astounding advices about drawing manga and Kou's shouting at me recently, I finished the manga in the nick of time."

What the? Konata's really good at this…if only she focused them on academics. - Kagami.

"Oh that's great. Patty will take care of the publishing." Konata said. "But for now…come with me."


Konata led everyone involved in the Comiket into another table, while some other students, notably the Lucky Star fans, were listening.

"Just on time Kou." Konata smiled as Kou enters the meeting. It wouldn't be surprising now to picture Konata as Haruhi on the center of the table, with her subordinates at the sides of the table.

"Oh is that…?" Miyuki asked for confirmation.

"Who is that, Kona-chan?" asked Tsukasa.


Meanwhile, some of the stalking students were chatting with each other.


"Is that…Who is that?" a stalking student asked another.

"That's Kou! He's the Treasurer of the Student Council!" the other student said.

"Are they…bribing her? Or is she part of the crew or something…?" the stalking student asked.


Back to the conversation with Konata and friends…

"It's probably one of her gaming buddies or something." Kagami guessed, not knowing how right she was.

"She's Kou, the president of this club called the Animation Reasearch Club…" Konata said.

Animation Research Club? Why does it seem to be just a club for the anime geeks? – Kagami.

"It is also interesting to note that Kou Yasaka is the Treasurer of the Student Council." Miyuki noted some facts about Kou.

"Ah…so she's an otaku treasurer. Why do I get the feeling you're corrupted or something, stealing some money for the school to fund your otaku interests?" Kagami sighed.

"Don't be that rude, Kagamin!" Konata said defensively. "Otakus aren't that desperate…"

"Uhh…about that...I think already did that twice now." Kou said as she laughs out in vain.

Does she even know what she's saying? – Kagami.
So much for defending the otaku side. – Konata.

"Now…here's the plan for the Comiket," Konata said. "Hiyori, Tsukasa, and Patricia are going to the stall…I'm sure you'll do well, Tsukasa!

"And about everyone else,we'll all sniff out the rare shops. Now the Comiket will be at this place."

Konata distributes a floor plan of the whole area.

"So I see…we'll all cover most of Comiket. But why teaming Miyuki with me?" Kou asked.

"It's 'cus it's not really safe to move out alone being so moe…especially with that." Konata pointed her eyes at her boobs. She has a point though. Miyuki could only blush in her embarrassment.

"So to sum it up: My father and I are going on separate ways. Kou and Miyuki would have to team up to cover one of the sections in the Comiket. Kagami, you know the drill, so I think you can handle this. Ok…the real orientation would have to start in the Comiket site at the day itself. Kagami, spill water on Tsukasa if you have to wake her up-"

"What the? Konata! You're that desperate aren't you!" Kagami shouted angrily.

She'd do anything for that Comiket. Damn you, Kona-chan! – Tsukasa.

"Well, Kagami, if you can't do that, you'll just have to bring Tsukasa even if she's asleep." Konata suggested.

"Are you even listening to me?" Kagami angrily asked.

"Ok…ok…just let Tsukasa sleep after dismissal." Konata finally said.

Why did I have to ask that question? – Kagami.

"So any other Points, Opinions, or Violent Reactions?" Konata asked before dismissing the meeting.

A short gust of wind suggesting silence was heard for 3 seconds.

"Ok…we'll meet at this place," Konata said as she points to the entrance. "At exactly 7:00 am. It is best to go by train and at least 1-2 hours early."


"Geez that Konata!" Kagami said to Tsukasa on the way home. "So…Tsukasa, are you up for this? Konata said that you must wake up early."

"Oh sure, sis! I'm sure I'll be ready to anything Kona-chan would ask of me." Tsukasa said just to avoid the thought of surpassing her own limits.


Meanwhile, Hiyori herself was having problems on her own.

"Oh no! I can't find it! Where is it? Oh no! Oh no!" Hiyori was panicking in her room with Patricia just outside, waiting for the manga copies to be published by her.

"Ah! That gives…I know it was right here!" Hiyori said as she looked to the table she uses for drawing. Suddenly she saw it – the volumes 2 and 3 of the manga. "Oh, it's here. I'm so stupid."

Hiyori suddenly rushed to Patricia, who was outside her house waiting for the manga.

"Here you go!" Hiyori smiled hypocritically.

"Umm…Hiyori, are you alright?" Patricia saw her somewhat tired eyes, and sweaty looks.

"Uhh…I'm fine! I'm fine!" Hiyori said as she vainly tried to hide her tiredness.


And so it happened.

The Comiket.

It was December 28, 2008.


Author Notes: I don't know what year it should be…usually I'd put 2010 on it, but then the canon started in 2007 with them in second year. Sorry for the time issues I caused in the previous episodes. XD


It was 5 am in the morning, and without a doubt, Konata and Sojiro went out early in the morning for Comiket.

"Err…why are we going to Comiket so early?" Sojiro asked Konata.

"I have a friend who has a stall there. She sells doujinshis and well…she's doing this great series about us. But then again the idea mostly came from me. She just can't think of good manga right now."

"Ah! So, let's go then! I wouldn't wanna miss those-"

"Dad, please don't be a pervert…"

"Oh sure, kiddo." Sojiro was disappointed.

Outside was a clear yet cold day, but somebody unexpected was waiting for them.

Oh no, Yui! – Konata.

"Heyya! Konata! So let's get this party started!"

"B-But…H-How…?" Konata obviously didn't want this.

"Uhh…Sure…let's go then." Sojiro forced himself in Yui's car.

"B-But…" Konata insisted.

"Shh, kiddo, don't break your cousin's heart. You know she's been through a lot." Sojiro commanded.

On a situation like this, I'd rather see her cry. – Konata.

"Well then let's GO!" Yui said as she drove almost lightning fast to Comiket. She easily passed through the somewhat clear intersections (left or right turns) with an Initial D-style drift. But then on the way, they encounter a pretty stiff turn – a very very sharp left and right turn!

"OH NO! YUI!" Konata exclaimed. "TIME TO USE WHAT YOU LEARNED!"

Konata said the the words N.F.S., and Konata's words finally came through Yui. It was the time she use her secret driving technique - the one she has learned from a game in the computer.

"Are you sure?" Yui asked Konata…it seems like a challenge to her.

"Just DO IT! DO WE HAVE A CHOICE?" Konata shouted.

Yui pressed the brakes while turning left and right on a fast rhythm of timing. She performed an unusually unexpected E-Break without the car ever having a scratch. It's quite a feat.

"Wow Yui! That was awesome, even if you have already violated 90% of the traffic rules." Konata's amazement took over her fear, and almost suddenly Konata's amazement turned into an inevitable uhh…you know what I mean.


"Tsukasa, wake up! We gotta go now!" Kagami was a bit insistent on getting the impossible done.

"Uhh…what to do…? Maybe I should do what Konata said and…no no no! What am I thinking?" Kagami shook her head. "But I haven't tried this…"

Kagami opened her computer, putting it at 100% volume and putting the speakers near Tsukasa, and then she played this audio.

The audio starts playing: (it's a snippet audio from H*d*m*r* Sk*tch)

AHHH-! HELP ME! IT'S GONNA EAT ME!

Tsukasa woke up, as scared as ever. It was all a dream, but why did it seem so real to her?

"You finally woke up, Tsukasa. I guess that weird scream worked fine."

S-Sis? Uhh…my head hurts! At least I managed to wake up. –Tsukasa.


It wasn't long before Yui's car got into an almost standstill situation. There's otakus everywhere, all going to the same place they're going. So Konata and Sojiro had one thing to do.

"Yui…it's fine, you can leave us here now." Sojiro said as Konata and Sojiro went off walking towards Tokyo Big Sight.

It was 7:00 am. As scheduled, the gang's all here. There's Konata, Tsukasa, Kagami, Miyuki, Hiyori, Patty, Kou, and Sojiro in a background which was soon about to be full of people.

"So you did that, huh, Kagami. That was interesting. Are you that dedicated as well?" Konata asked Kagami.

"OF COURSE NOT! I…I just want Tsukasa to learn not to break promises whenever possible." Kagami wanted to hide her so-called true intentions.

"So we'll cover this and that part of Comiket…" Konata said. "And remember to be quick to get to the red marks. Buy the new ones, and if you're unsure, then buy them all anyway. Be sure to get 9 copies. Tsukasa, Hiyorin, and Patricia, leave us 10 copies of the manga okay?"

So…after a short breakfast on a nearby store, they finally went out. Hiyori, Patricia, and Tsukasa had a little trouble bringing about 5,000 copies of volumes 2 and 3 of their Lucky Star manga, but a few T* H**rt fans helped. Other ones who helped were Lucky Star fans from Ryou High School, who apparently went to Comiket as well hearing that Konata and the others would be there.

Comiket was a very large convention, and it wasn't long before many of their copies were almost over. The line was ever long, and Tsukasa was having a pretty hard time distributing the needed manga. It was when a somewhat familiar face showed to Tsukasa.

"Can I buy all chapters of the Lucky Star manga?" said the somewhat familiar girl. She had long black hair, and red eyes. She had a height somewhat similar to Patricia's.

"Here you go! 1,500 Yen pls.!" Tsukasa said. "Uhh…have we seen each other before?"

"N-No! N-Not at all!" said the girl as she runs off, Hiyori noticing her for a short while, and getting back to work.

I wonder what that was about. – Hiyori.


As usual, Konata gave out lots of money (which was actually gotten from the profits of the Lucky star manga volume 1) and snacks for the "buying" team. With enough time to spare, they finished buying from most of the needed stalls. And after that was the meeting place was at Hiyori's stall.

"That was the worst!" Kagami said as she goes to Hiyori's stall. "Oh bummer…that wasn't the worst after all…it's this!"

Kagami saw what she couldn't believe in her eyes: countless people lining up for their Lucky Star stall. Some of them are recognizable people from their school, but most of them are otakus trying to get a hold of the new thing called Lucky Star. Some were captivated by the Yuri pairings of Konata and Kagami and Minami and Yukata in MMORPG-like dresses, much to her dismay (if you put it that way.)

"Hey! Kagami!" somebody called from the crowd.

"Oh hey! Misao and Ayano? What are you doing here?" Kagami was surprised.

"With rumors of Konata going to Comiket, we can't help but come here!" Misao said.

You really are dumb aren't you…Konata always comes here at this time of the year. – Kagami.

"So…where are the others?" Ayano asked.

"Oh! I'm meeting up with them."

"Kagamin!" Konata waved her hands to Kagami as a sign to come there.

"Oh there she is…let's go!" Kagami said as she drags Misao and Ayano to Hiyori's stall.

"Look who followed us!" Kagami noted.

"Oh! Ayano and Misao!" Konata smiled. "It's nice to be here isn't it? The scent of people's sweats-"

"The fact that what we're seeing right now are the people who went to buy our manga and collectibles!" Kou broke Konata's sentence as she comes to join the conversation.

"Wow! We're that famous huh? Or are they just those otakus who went here to buy every available manga there is?" Kagami asked.

"If you look around Kagami, some of them are from our school." Konata commented.

"So…did things went as planned?" Konata asked for a status report from everyone.

"I think we can agree that we bought everything Konata coerced on us, right?" Kagami asked.

Everybody felt silent for 10 seconds.

"Sigh…let's just say we got it all." Kagami.

"Patricia: Status Report!" Kagami said in a military-like manner.

"Almost everything was sold! The mangas are now limited to 30 copies now, even chapters 1 to 3! One of the most successful merchandise sold out was the CD of our performance at the School Festival."

"W-What? You were selling those?" Tsukasa couldn't believe her eyes.

"Yep. I see Tsukasa handled the giving out of the mangas. No wonder there are so many T*H**rt fans I'm seeing." Konata commented.

"I've never seen such manga being so successful in a short time." Kou commented. "I say it's a great job!"

"Yeah…even some of the people who were fond of my mangas said it was my best non-yuri/yaoi idea yet! I wasn't even the one who thought of the idea." Hiyori commented further.

"It was quite an experience. There were so many people. When I was researching, I thought that when it was said that Comiket had over half-million attendees, I was surprised." Miyuki commented even further. "But what I was surprised the most is the so many inappropriate works circulating around Coimiket."

"Yeah…there's a lot of those here." Konata confirmed.

"I guess our work is done. Let's browse for a while…" Kou suggested.

"Chi!" Konata said, imitating Chi from Ch*b*ts.


"So at the end of the day, I say it was worth it." Konata was summarizing the things that happened to Yukata on their way home.

"Wow! It must be tiring for you." Yukata said.

"Nah…as long as it's Comiket."

Wow, Konata can do almost anything if she wants it that bad. – Yukata.


"So that's she said what's happened." said Yukata over the local landline phone, who was calling Minami.

"…Uhh…"

"Eh…Minami?"

I wish I was that determined to not stay "flat." – Minami.


Lucky Channel!

-Lucky Channel's song plays in the background-

"Hiya Luckies! Today is our 4th episode of our highly anticipated show ever! It's the 4th episode of Lucky Star season 2! I'm your navigator, Akira Kogami!"

"And I'm her assistant, Minoru Shirashi! Today, we're going to feature 2 new characters…of which of course one hasn't truly revealed herself yet."

Akira suddenly changed personalities over to that nasty personality.

"So what! They're just new characters! I've been here on this show long enough! I want a role in there!" Akira said as she puffs smoke into Minoru's eyes.

"Err…" Minoru said as he tries to ignore Akira and move on to the character profiles. "Kou Yasaka is the President of the Animation Research Club and the only 2nd year in the Lucky Star gang at her appearance. Short light-yellow-colored hair and her orange eyes makes her quite cute."

Akira suddenly slammed the desk with her hand.

"Please…" Akira said as she gets yellow eye contacts and yellow dye. "if you're just saying colors is what makes her cute…then I can just do this…"

-After 10 seconds.-

Akira's hair and eyes were now colored light-yellow colore. But nothing has changed. Her character hasn't changed. Her personality hasn't changed.

If only the Author can just change it. – Minoru.

"Wow…Akira," Minoru said in a somewhat convincing way. "You look cute."

It was quiet for a while until Akira finally she said it.

"LIAR, BAKA (Idiot in Japanese)!" Akira was unconvinced.

"Uhh…of course you are cute…even without those paraphernalia. You look cute just the way you are…" Minoru tried her best stopping Akira's rage, so to speak.

"...Just continue on...anyway." Akira showed no signs of being convinced, or maybe she was just being an actor now?

"Well...this other character, as said by the Author in a text message I recieved from him...will be revealed only somewhere in episode 10-13, so watch out for that. She has black hair with a height of about 164 cm and red eyes. Little is known about her, for now, but it's pretty obvious that she's an otaku." Minoru explained.

"Yeah...yeah...is it over now...I just wanna go back to my relaxing foot massage and forget all about this. At least in this fanfic...I got only one thing to worry about...that damn author and these new characters. I'm sure they'll go down...pretty soon. Heheheh." Akira started laughing in an evil way.

-Lucky Channel's exit theme song starts playing-

"Well...we would be happy to stay for longer, but the clock is ticking already. PLEASE send us reviews or comments about this story. All of them would be really appreciated." Minoru speedily said his 'last words' "Well Akira...shall we?"

"Oh! Bye-nii!" Akira said.

-Lucky Channel's Cardboard falls on the screen-

"Why do you hate new characters, Akira?" Minoru asked. "I mean you've been longer than they are. What's the point?"

"Look...don't be such a fuss just 'cus you're there, okay."

"Uh...ok..."


Ending Credits:

-Requested by Thj1996-

Konata was literally sweating. It's no wonder, 'cus the last song almost caused her life, being almost out-of-breath and all...

"Whew...that was...done...finally." Konata was breathing 2x faster. "No wonder she dissapeared. She ran out of beath!"

"She's a vocaloid you dumbhead." Kagami said, making a facepalm.

"Let's move on and sing another song!" Konata said as she presses song song buttons and selects a song...

-The tune of the song starts playing-

"Oh no! More of those things...anime songs!" Kagami sighed in despair...

"Don't worry Kagamin...look...I'm gonna hand the microphone to Miyuki and we're gonna sing it." Konata said, trying to cheer Kagamin up. "Let's make these things more electrifying like in the anime!"

Miyuki was the first one to sing the lyrics:

Yume no tsuzuki oikaketeita hazu nano ni
Magarikunetta hosoi michi hito ni tsumazuku

Ano koro ni mitai ni tte modoritai wake janai no nakushitekita sora wo sagashiteru
Wakattekuremasu you ni gisei ni natta you na kanashii kao wa yamete yo

"I'll do this part!" Konata said as she sings the next part of the song:

Tsumi no saigo wa namida janai yo zutto kurushiku seotte kun da
Deguchi mienai kanjou meiru ni
Dare wo matteru no
Shiroi NOOTO ni tsuzutta you ni motto sunao ni hakidashitai yo
Nani kara nogaretainda
Genjitsu tte yatsu

"Let's sing the chorus, everyone!"

Kanaeru tame ni ikiterun datte
Wasurechaisou na yoru no mannaka
