Total-Insanity-519: Well, I'm finally back! Today was productive! I finished both this chapter, and a music video that's been in development for even longer than this! But anyway, sorry for the long wait, and I hope you enjoy this chapter. This will be the first of a four part "Comiket Arc" in this story.

As Comiket approached (slowly for Konata, who couldn't stop talking about it, and even more slowly for Kagami, who had to listen) Konata grew antsy, and began to spend most of her time at home holed up in her room, "making battle plans to invade and conquer." as she put it. Kagami now routinely called Konata each night to make sure she got enough sleep (using the excuse of reminding Konata to do her homework.)

"Konata, calm down… You're starting to creep me out."

"No back talk soldier!"

"Konata seriously, quit it…"

"That's Sergeant Izumi to you!"

"KONATA!"

When there were only two weeks left before Comiket, Konata began working almost twice as long as usual, usually traveling straight to work from school, and only getting home after closing for the night. Even Kagami got nervous about her money, making sure she had enough to keep Konata happy, and enough for her to buy what she wanted. Both Konata and Kagami had piled up their Christmas money, and Konata had even asked for her New Year's allowance early.

"Let's see, I worked 8 hours yesterday, 10 hours the day before that, and 10 before that… If I work 12 today that would maybe be ¼ of my budget."

"Izumi!"

"Let's see, carry the 3, minus 12…"

"IZUMI!"

"Yes Sensei?"

"Are we learning about math?"

"No Sensei."

"Then FOCUS!"

"Yes sensei…"

And then, with only a few days left before Comiket, Konata could be seen walking to Animate, searching for new Manga and Anime, and catching up with any series she hadn't already finished, and rereading and watching any she couldn't remember very well.

"Gah! Where did it go?"

"Where did what go?"

"My manga! I need to keep reading it through school if I want to finish it soon!"

"Why are you putting manga before school?!"

"Oh man this is bad! I… I… Oh wait, here it is. I was already holding it."

"Konata…"

"Yeah?"

"Give it here."

"Damn it."

And then the day of Comiket arrived.

Konata woke up early that day, making sure to double-check her supplies, and to eat a small, well caffeinated breakfast.

Wallet. Check

Drink.

Money in wallet. Check.

Drink.

Energy mars. Check.

Munch.

DS. Check.

List of manga to buy. Check.

Floor Plan, Blueprints, Tour Guide, Official Map, Handmade Map. Check, check, check, check, and check.

Konata sighed. She felt like she was missing something. Everything on her mental list was there, but knowing how un-reliable her memory was, she still had her doubts. Just then, her cell phone rang. Konata grabbed it off of the desk, and checked the number.

It was Kagami.

"Moshi moshi, Konata speaking,"

"Hey Konata. What up?"

"Hey Kagami! I'm just making sure I have everything."

"Money?"

"Yup."

"Food?"

"Got it."

"Map?"

"It's there."

"List of stuff?"

"Everything's there."

"Hmmm… Ah, hotel tickets?"

"Um… No. So that's what I was missing."

"Geez Konata."

"Hold on, I'll go see if Dad has them."

"Alright."

Konata let go of the phone, and left the room, not realizing that she could have just taken the phone with her.

"Oi, Dad, do you have the hotel reservations?" Konata asked her Dad, who was also packing his things.

"Yeah Konata. I've got ours and Kagami's." He said, holding up three pieces of paper as he dug through his closet.

"Alright. What are you doing?" Konata asked as she was about to leave.

"Looking for my wallet! I know it's around here somewhere…" He said, rooting deeper into the mess of a closet.

Not bothering to ask why his wallet would be in the closet, Konata went back to her room.

"Hello?"

"Yo, Konata. Do you have the tickets?"

"Yup, Dad's got them."

"Okay. Well I'm ready when you are, so just come over whenever."

"Alright, we'll probably be there in about an hour then."

"Well then I'll probably be seeing you in 2 hours."

"Just because I'm normally reliable, doesn't mean you can never take me seriously Kagamin. I'm very reliable when it comes to Comiket!"

"Yeah, I'm sure."

"I can too! I'll bet you anything that I can."

"…"

"Kagamin?"

"Nothing… It's just that whenever you make a bet… It usually ends badly." Kagami said in a worried voice.

"Are you saying you wouldn't take the bet!"

"Don't put words in my mouth! Fine, what's the bet?" Kagami retorted quickly. She knew before Konata even said anything that she had just fell hook line and sinker for Konata's scheme.

"Hmm… How about this. If I get there on time, we share a bed for the whole time we're in the hotel."

"No." Kagami said flatly.

"Hm. Alright, I guess you just aren't tough enough to take my dares."

"… Fine."

"Yay! See ya Kagamin!"

"Whatever. See you later Konata."

With that Konata, hung up. She knew she had won as soon as Kagami had agreed. She already knew what to do.

"Hey Dad, are you ready yet? Kagamin says we should pick her up early!"

…

As Kagami put the phone back on the receiver, she sighed.

"What have I gotten myself into?" She asked herself.

She walked into the kitchen, where her parents, and her sisters (minus Tsukasa) were already seated around the table.

"You guys didn't have to get up early too you know." Kagami said, knowing they had gotten up early just because of her.

"Don't worry, we would have woken up soon anyway." Her dad said with a smile.

"That's right. Besides, you seemed really excited about it, so we thought that we might catch some of your enthusiasm." Her mother said, with a knowing smile. Kagami looked down in embarrassment.

Her mother had been the first person she'd gone to when she realized her feeling for Konata. She knew her mother wouldn't get angry and disown her, or anything like that. She'd always supported Kagami in everything, and the rare occasion that something happened that she couldn't understand, all she would do is question Kagami on why she thought what she did. Thankfully, Mrs. Hiiragi had only smiled and congratulated Kagami at first, not even flinching at the news.

Her mother however, was the only person Kagami had told. Her dad would most likely get angry. Tsukasa would start to act weird around her, wondering what to do whenever she was around Kagami and Konata at the same time. Matsuri would think that her sister had gone crazy, and possibly make fun of her. Inori would just keep silent, a worried look on her face, maybe she would look around nervously, or maybe she would just look down, away from Kagami, embarrassed by having a lesbian sister.

Even as she finished breakfast, and put away her dishes, the doorbell rang.

She opened the door, and sighed mentally.

"Hey Kagamin!"

"Hey Konata. Let me just get my stuff before I leave."

Kagami left for a minute, but when she came back down, Konata was already talking to Kagami's mom.

"Alright, let's go." Kagami said with a smile, even though she knew what was coming.

"Okay!" Konata said excitedly.

As they left, both Konata and Kagami said goodbye to the rest of the Hiiragi family and got into the Izumi fan.

Kagami couldn't stop smiling. Even though she knew what was coming, and the embarrassing moments that were sure to follow. Even though she knew what Konata was about to say, and what she would have to listen to for the first half of the train ride to Comiket.

"Oh, Kagamin~." Konata said in a sing-song voice.

"What is it Konata?" Kagami asked, smile still on her face.

"I won the bet!"

"Heh, I knew she would say that."

Total-Insanity-519: YOSH! I'm finally done with this chapter! Now I need to go finish the last chapter of my YutakaxMinami fic.

Also, just incase some of you were confused, (but I doubt that a smart bunch of people like you would ever get confused) the reason I put the Christmas money and New Year's allowance stuff, was because I decided to make this the Winter Comiket. Also, for those of you that don't know, Winter Comiket always goes on for 2-3 days, so I'm making them get a hotel.

Anyway, that's it for this chapter! See you next ti-

Akira: LUCKY CHANNEL!!!

Total-Insanity-519: Late as always.

Akira: Hiya luckies! It's your lovely navigator Akira Kogami!

Minoru: And Akira-san's assistant Minoru Shiraishi.

Akira: Yeah, no one cares.

...

Total-Insanity-519: You really are heartless, aren't you?

Akira: Pretty much. Now let us get some air-time, or I'll KILL YOU!

Total-Insanity-519: Fine, whatever. It's not that late anyway.

Akira: Good. Well as you all know, we've been very busy lately, and haven't had much time to show you very many bonuses that devoted Lucky Star fans like you deserve to see! But this week, we have good news! Our host Total-Insanity-519 has made it official! If he doesn't update within a week, he has to go to school naked!

Total-Insanity-519: HEY! I never agreed to that! Where's you even get that idea anyway?

Akira: I just thought it'd be a suitable punishment.

Total-Insanity-519: Punishment? What are you into BDSM now? I guess it does seem like something a manly little gorilla like you would like.

Akira: SHUT UP!

Total-Insanity-519: What was that? I'm sorry, it's just that all you're YELLING made me half-deaf.

Akira: You're really pissing me off!

Total-Insanity-519: Good.

Akira: Why you little! Come here!

Total-Insanity-519: I wouldn't try anything if I were you...

Akira: Oh yeah, what are you gonna do?

Total-Insanity-519: 'pulls out a BFG 9000' SAY 'ELLO TO MY LEETLE FRIEND!

Akira: That's a big gun.

Total-Insanity-519: You bet! Now, if that's all, then I guess this is the end.

All: BYE-NII!

Akira: Where'd you get that anyway?

Total-Insanity-519: A fan gave it to me.
