Azusa pushed Yui away,

"Senpai, what do you think you are doing?!" She shouted.

"Oh sorry, I tripped on that crack." Yui pointed down at a crack on the ground.

'Where did that come from?' Azusa asked herself. Yui gasped,

"D-don't tell me..."

Azusa grew silent.

"I BROKE MY MOTHER'S BACK!"

"You're hopeless." Azusa sighed.

~~*•*•*~~

"True! - nervous - very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad? The disease had sharpened my senses - not destroyed - not dulled them. Above all was the sense of hearing acute. I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. I heard many things in hell. How, then, am I mad? Hearken! and observe how healthily - how calmly I can tell you the whole story..." Mugi said under her breath, her eyes shadowed by aberration and dread. Sitting in her home- a small and squishy cell at an asylum for the mentally insane. Hugged by her newfound friend, a straight jacket.

"It is impossible to say how first the idea entered my brain; but once conceived, it haunted me day and night. Object there was none. Passion there was none. I loved Ritsu. She had never wronged me. She had never given me insult. For her gold I had no desire. I think it was her headband! yes, it was this! She had the headband of a grade schooler - a dandelion yellow headband, with a glossy film over it. Whenever I saw it, my blood ran cold; and so by degrees - very gradually - I made up my mind to take the life of Ritsu Tainaka and thus rid myself of the headband forever..."

"Huh?" Mugi sat up from her desk chair. She looked down to her book of short stories she had been reading, looked to the small glass of wine next to her, then decided she should lay off both of them for the time being.


"What do you mean by that, Mio?" Ritsu attempted to push Mio off her lap.

"It means what it means..." Mio said slowly. Ritsu squirmed.

"Mio, we already established that neither of us swing that way!" Ritsu squeaked.

"Huh? How could ya poshibly be sure of yer sexuality, vir-gin." Mio grinned.

Ritsu grew pale.

"Wh-what ever are you talking about!? Th-that is not true!" She sputtered.

"Have you 'n Tomo been gettin' it on?"

Ritsu did a dry spit-take.

"What are you talking about, idiot?"

"Well she is the only one you hang out with." Mio said.

'Your logic is seriously flawed...' Ritsu thought.

"I already told you that I'm straight!"

"Really? Then it wouldn't arouse you in the least if I did this,"

Mio unbuttoned the first four buttons of her blouse, "or this?"

She reached under her shirt and unhooked her bra.

Ritsu could feel herself becoming wet. With pee. She was so terrified by her friend at that moment that she had pissed her pants.

"Mio, you're scaring me..."

"Really?"

"Yeah, let's get you to bed."

"Oh Ritsu, how naughty!"

"Zip-it, Maki." Ritsu said, bonking Mio on the head with a slapstick that she pulled out of thin air.

"Sorry, Riko."


Jun and Ui sat in the middle of the restroom floor at WacDonalds. Jun had gotten a cleaning job there and had somehow managed to drag Ui into it with her.

"Hey Ui, I dare you to say something sexual." Jun whispered.

"No way, only if you do it!" Ui replied, also in a whisper.

"Okay, I talk about how you used an electric toothbrush to-"

"Wait... Jun... Stop... N-not in public...!" Ui exclaimed, trying to keep herself from breaking out into laughter.

After five seconds of silence passed, Jun pulled out a sharpie.

"What are you doing?" Ui asked quietly.

"I'm sorry, I just couldn't wait." Jun said and began drawing vulgar images on a wall.

"N-no! Not there! What if someone sees?"

"You would like that wouldn't you?"

Ui bonked her on the head.

"D-don't be ridiculous!" She stuttered, it was all she could do to keep from laughing out loud.

"Mhmmm... Oh my, what is this?" Jun pointed to a crude drawing of the male sex organ.

"Gah! Don't be gross!"
