Hey! Sorry for the delays in the story, sorting another out, getting all my learning out, and writing this. Yes, I do wanna finish this, and I might finish it soon, but for now ill just write this. Well, if you have been loyal, I thank thee, but a nice eff you to the haters. ha. So, enough drivel, on with the show I suppose,

and again, azumanga is not my creation, nor my love child. Ahaha. And it aint mine, ever. Never freaking ever...

xx recap xx

After finishing their cuisine from the couch they have been sitting at, they both got dressed for sleep, sakaki wearing her necoconeco pajamas, kaorin wearing plain bright pink boxers and a white tanktop. Climbing into their cozy bed, they kissed, said goodnight, and cuddled until they were asleep, waiting for the next day to get them.

waking up quite abructively, sakaki was pulled onto the ground, and dragged, she picked herself up, and saw kaorin, and smoke. "come on sakaki, we are going to die if we dont leave now!" kaorin yelled at her lover. Deciding on life than death, she crawled quickly to the door, reaching up and opening it, and escaping by running down the hall and the flights of stairs. Kaorin was hot on her heals, maya chasing them both. All three got to the sidewalk to see their worst fears: the whole floor was on fire, and their apartment was next. Sakaki and kaorin just started crying, maya inbetween them. Their life so far was in there, irreplaceable photos, their clothes, mayas toys, everything. They saw the flames licking the window, as plain as daylight. The window shattered, and smoke billowed out. They knew it was too late. Kaorin had just enough time to save their wallets and keys, sakakis phone was in her pocket, and kaorins also in hers. They stayed for a bit then started towards their cars, agreeing to go to osaka and chiyo, agreeing that sakaki would bring osaka back to chiyo.

"osaka...yeah...can I pick you up?...to chiyos...me and kaorin need to say something to you both...i cant say yet...ok, ill be there in ten minutes...thanks, bye." sakaki spoke into her mobile, on the way to osaka. "i hope kaorin is ok?" sakaki wondered to herself. Would she be like sakaki and hold it in until she was there, or let it loose. She didnt know. She was snapped back by a horn and maya mewing at her, like he was saying 'get a move on!' to her. Driving off, she reached the apartment block her spacey friend lived at. "hey sakaki, ah wondered why you wanted ta pick me up, but ah could not figure it out..." osaka cheerfully said. After strapping in and making the wildcat move from the front seat to the back, sakaki started moving to the other two.

kaorin parked her car, and walked up the path to the apartment numbered "11" and knocked on the white door. Not long after, her friend opened the door, looking like she just got up. "kaorin, is sakaki and osaka on their way?" chiyo asked kaorin. "yes, im sorry that I woke you though..." she lamented, feeling bad for calling when the genius was asleep. "its ok, come in and ill make some tea when the other two get here." the prodigy commented, opening the door fully for kaorin to walk in and dislodge her feet from the shoes she was wearing. "can you tell me why you came here so early?" chiyo asked. "sakaki promised me not to tell you until she got here. Sorry." kaorin said back, sitting on the couch just after. "it better be good..." chiyo whispered to herself. Hearing a knock, she guessed it was the other two visitors. "come in!" she yelled to the door, unlocked deliberately for that purpose. "hey chiyo." sakaki formally spoke, as she was a guest. "ah hey chiyo!" osaka said casually, hugging her girlfriend, and giving a generous, copied by sakaki to her kaorin. "can you all sit please? Kaorin and I have more bad news." sakaki still said formally, knowing that chiyo and osaka will be shocked really bad. "ok, this will be a shock, but... our apartment block was on fire and it got our apartment."

silence was sustained for a good ten minutes.

"so are you two ok?" chiyo asked the other couple, who are getting teary at the early morning emergency. "we...lost everything... we only just got out. Maya followed us out." kaorin started crying heavilly into her partners arm then, who was getting the same way, just like chiyo and osaka had also.

after only three hours, all the girls agreed on just staying there for the night, and decided on seeking a house for all of them to live in, they all wanted to stay with each other from now on. Sakaki, kaorin, and osaka were getting ready for bed, chiyo already out like a light. "im sorry for all this chiyo and osaka." sakaki whispered to herself, hugging her pet iriomote. "i wish things would be better for us all from now on." she continued.

There was a phonecall, osaka picked up the homephone of chiyos and answered politely. "mihama residence...miss yukari!...its ayumu kasuga here...osaka...yeah, sakaki and kaoin had more bad luck...fire in their apartment block...yeah?...AH MAH GAWD! ahll tell them...thanks you miss yukari...bye." osaka finally hung up. She turned to the two others and said something astonishing. "miss yukari also had her apartment done too! It was the one it started in!" osaka exclamed. Sakaki and kaorin gawked at the spacey character, surprised as they would be if they discovered osaka was smarter than chiyo. "well, that sorts everything." kaorin spoke up, breaking the face of pure shock. "yes, I would have guessed that, but as a joke. I didnt know she lived there?" her girlfriend said.

The three all thought of retiring for the night, sakaki and kaorin floor bound near chiyos bed, osaka with her new girlfriend. Tomorrow would be an exhausting day for all four.
