Kari was sitting in the living room waiting for her daughter to return so that she can tell her all about her date. It was then that she heard a taxi drive up.
"Ah Kaorin." she thought as she gave a wide smile. "I do hope that everything went well."
She walked up to the front door and opened it and saw… Kaorin…. and Joshua…..dripping wet and… kissing.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOLD THE PHONE, HOW DID THIS HAPPEN? (chuckles) Well I guess I got a little ahead in the fic, but it sure got your attention didn't it. Okay then let's go back to the beginning and see how exactly this happened…….
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Azumanga Daioh Is Not Mine it belongs to Kiyohiko Azuma
New Azumanga Daioh
By Anime Rebirth
Episode 14 (An annoyed Kaorin and a smiling Joshua are shown standing next to a giant number 14)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Earlier That Day)
First up on their 'date' Joshua decided to take Kaorin to the movies.
Kaorin was just staring at Josh.
"What's wrong?" Joshua asked.
"Did you really need to wear that fancy suit, I mean you stick out like a sore thumb." Kaorin responded.
"Well I wanted to look nice for you." Joshua responded.
"Just get the tickets." Kaorin said in an annoyed tone.
"You're cute when you're annoyed." Joshua responded which cause Kaorin to give an annoyed sigh.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Osaka and Wada….Oh…..boy)
Kagura and Wada entered the Magnetron burger. After they had heard from Yomi that Chiyo and Osaka worked there she thought it would be nice to visit them, as well as get a bite to eat.
"Oi, Chiyo-chan." Kagura said.
Chihiro walked up wearing a magnetron burger uniform. "Sorry, but Chiyo isn't here tonight, it's her night off."
"Chihiro-san?" Kagura said as she gave a huge smile. "You work here too?"
"Yes, In fact this is my first day here." Chihiro responded. "I saw this adorable outfit at the mall and I just had to have it and when I asked my father for money to buy it he said… 'if you want it so bad, get a job' … so I did." Chihiro responded as she closed her eyes and smiled.
"Cool." Kagura responded. It was then that a beeping sound was heard which indicated that the fries were ready
Chihiro turned around and saw that Osaka was asleep once again in front of the fryer.
"Excuse me." Chihiro responded as she quickly headed towards Osaka.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Oh…. You are a really big yellow cat…. And you're eyes are so wide…." Osaka said in her sleep.
"Osaka-san." Chihiro said as she shook Osaka's arm.
"Huh." Osaka said as she woke up and gave a small yawn.
"Osaka-san, I'll take care of the fries, you just go up front and take Kagura-san and Wada-san's order." Chihiro ordered.
"Okey Dokey." Osaka said as she gave an okay symbol. (this seems familiar)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Osaka walked up to the counter. "Hello and welcome to Magnetron Burger, where the meat is so fresh, you could actually milk your burger." she said.
Kagura just got button eyes as she sweat dropped.
"Neat." Wada respond. "Give me one, give me one." she demanded.
"Would you like fries with that?" Osaka responded.
"Can you milk them as well?" Wada asked.
Osaka just went into a thinking position. "Hmm." She said. "I'm not sure….." she thought some more. "Maybe you can't because I don't think you can milk a potato." she finally responded.
Kagura just started to tremble.
"No then just give me the burger." Wada responded.
"What about you Kagura-san?" Osaka asked.
Kagura couldn't respond, she was still to grossed out.
"Kagura-san?" Wada asked in a worried tone.
Osaka just stared at Kagura. "Maybe the aliens have gotten control of her brain."
"Aliens?" Wada asked.
"Yeah, those aliens can be pretty tricky when it comes to mind control." Osaka responded.
"I'LL SAVE YOU KAGURA-SAN!!!!!" Wada responded as she grabbed a tray and whacked Kagura on the head.
"OW WHAT THE HELL!!!!!!" Kagura responded which caused everyone at Magnetron to stare at her.
"YAY I RESCUED YOU FROM THE ALIENS!!!!" Wada yelled.
"You did well." Osaka responded with a serious look on her face as she turned to Kagura. "Now Kagura-san, I have a very important question to ask you."
"What." Kagura asked as she rubbed her head.
"Can…..I…. take you order?" She asked in a cheerful tone.
"Just give me a double Magnetron combo.. And Magne-size it will you." Kagura responded.
"Okey-dokey." Osaka said as she rang up the order that'll be…. " (drum roll) "1147 yen" (trumpet fanfare)
Kagura paid for the order. "Let's go take a seat Wada-san." she said.
"Where do we take it, outside?" Wada responded.
"That's not what I meant." Kagura responded.
"Hey you can't take our seats, that's stealing." Osaka added.
"We're not taking the seats, we are going to go to a table and sit there." Kagura responded.
"I think it would be easier if we sit in the chairs." Wada responded.
"I agree, besides sitting on the table doesn't sound to sanitary." Osaka added.
"Wada….chair….now." Kagura responded as she pointed to a table.
"Okey-Dokey" Wada responded as she closed her eyes and smiled as she went to go sit down.
"Kagura-san?" Osaka asked.
"Yes Osaka-san." Kagura responded as she sighed.
"Thank you for your order." She said as she smiled.
Kagura just stared at her and then gave a small smile. "Sure." she said as she took her seat.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Ladies' Night)
"ANOTHER ORDER OF YAKITORI!!!!" Yukari screamed, while Minamo, Miku, and Jade sweat dropped.
It had been a tough day of school for all of them, especially for Jade so they had decided to go out for a night of the town.
"I love Fridays." Yukari said as she took a quick dip of Saki.
"Yukari, you promised you'd take it easy tonight." Minamo warned.
"Relax, I can take it." Yukari responded.
"So how are you holding up Jade-san?" Miku asked.
"Okay, except for the fact that I attack the principal, everything couldn't be better." Jade responded as she gave a small smile.
"Will you stop worrying about that already." Minamo told the secretary. "Ihihara promised that he would try and not be so demanding in the future."
"I don't know what you guys are trying to make her feel better." Yukari said as she burped. "It's about time that someone taught that old windbag a lesson."
"Yukari…" Minamo said as she narrowed her eyes. "If you don't stop I swear…."
"Love…..letter." Yukari said as she smirked.
"Yukari, stop being a baby." Miku scolded.
"Love letter?" Jade asked in a confused tone.
"It's nothing." Minamo said as she concentrated on her glass of juice.
"Oh yeah, it was back in high school when Nyamo here…." Yukari started as Minamo quickly covered her mouth.
"DON'T YOU DARE!!!!!" Minamo warned as her eyes appeared to be on fire.
"Fine fine, have it your way, but it is a very interesting story." Yukari responded.
"Grow up Yukari." Miku said for the umpteenth time.
"WHERE IS THAT YAKITORI!!!!!!" Yukari screamed which caused everyone in the dining area to stare at them.
"This is going to be one interesting night." Jade thought.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(The….Horror)
Joshua came back with a couple of tickets. "Okay then I got them."
"So what movie are we seeing?" Kaorin asked.
"Saw XI" Joshua replied (Because I have a feeling this series is gonna be around for years….AR)
Kaorin just froze up. "What…but I don't like horror movies." she replied as she trembled.
"Relax, I'll be sitting right next to you." Joshua assured her, but he couldn't help but give a small smile. "This is perfect, she's going to be so scared during the movie, she's not going to have any choice but to wrap herself around me." he thought.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Just Yomi and Tomo)
Yomi was in her room finishing up her homework when she heard her window open.
"Hey hey." Tomo said as she climbed through the window.
"Why don't you use the front door like normal people?" Yomi asked in an annoyed tone.
"I think this way is more fun… besides. Your family doesn't like me." Tomo responded.
"I wonder why?" Yomi asked sarcastically.
Tomo looked over Yomi's shoulder. "Is that today's homework?" she asked. "Why are you working on it now? You've got all weekend to do it." she said.
"Because…. Then my weekend would be free, unlike some people I know." Yomi responded.
"Oh but my weekend is gonna be free as well." Tomo responded as she rushed back to the window and reached out and bought in her….. Schoolbag. "Ta-dah." she said with pride.
"Let me guess, you want to copy my homework right?" Yomi said as she sighed.
"Yep." Tomo responded.
"Yikes so blunt." Yomi thought.
"So, how much do you have done?" Tomo asked as she went to take a quick glance and Yomi's homework.
Yomi quickly closed her workbook. "You know Tomo, I'm not always gonna be around to help you." Yomi warned.
"Don't say that Yomi, we'll be together forever." Tomo responded as she wrapped her arm around Yomi's shoulder. "Friends to the end."
Yomi broke free. "I'm serious Tomo." she started. "One day you're gonna be in big trouble and I'm not going to be around to bail you out."
Tomo just stared Yomi. "Yes you will… I know you will." Tomo responded.
Yomi just sighed and gave in. "Fine." she handed Tomo her workbook. "But this is the last time got it."
"Sure sure." Tomo responded as she took Yomi's workbook and then took out her own workbook.
Yomi just stared at the wildcat. "I just wonder what were to happen to her if I wasn't around." she thought with a worried look on her face.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Off To Eat)
Kaorin exited the theater. "Wow you could tell that all of that was so fake." she said. "I don't see who would be gullible enough to believe that it was real."
Joshua slowly came from behind, he seemed to be pale white. "Can…can a body really fold that way?" He said as his body trembled.
"Oh, did the scawy movie frightened the wittle boy." Kaorin said mocking him.
Joshua shook his head and came back to reality. "No, I was just…. Thinking about where I'm going to take you for dinner." he responded in a macho tone.
"Right, let me guess… Magnetron Burger?" She said as she smirked.
"What no way, I'm gonna take you to uh…." Joshua tried to think of a better place to take her. "RED LOBSTER!!!!!" He said as he beamed with pride.
Kaorin's eyes grew wide. "Really?" she said excitably. "I always wanted to eat there but I here it's so expensive." she said.
"Well nothing but the best for you." Joshua replied as he sweat dropped.
"But can you really afford it?" Kaorin asked in a suspicious tone.
"But of course mademoiselle." Joshua responded as he quickly turned around and checked his wallet.
"What are you doing?" Kaorin asked.
"Oh just…. Checking if I have any popcorn breath." Joshua responded as he pretended to check his breath.
"Well come on, I can't wait to get there." Kaorin said as he wrapped her arm around Joshua's arm.
Joshua blushed and felt that he was in heaven….
But the strange thing was… as soon as Kaorin realized what she did… she also blushed a little.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(At The Arcade)
Rachel had invited Madoka to go to the Arcade with her. Although Madoka had no idea what an arcade was, she agreed.
"Well here we are." Rachel said.
Madoka couldn't help but to look around. "By the spirits." she whispered. "It is so….. Lively here."
"I'd knew you like it." Rachel responded as she smiled.
Madoka walked up to an arcade game. "There seems to be people inside this device." she said. "Is this one of what you call…. Television?" Madoka asked.
"No." Rachel responded as she giggled. "This is an arcade game." You place some yen in it and then you play it."
"Play….it?" Madoka asked in a confused tone. "Like an instrument?"
Rachel couldn't help but give a small laugh. "No Madoka-san, when I mean play it, you.. Um.. 'entertain' yourself." she tried to explain. "Here let me show you."
Rachel then walked up to a Dance Dance Revolution SuperNOVA game and placed 100 yen in the slot. "Check this out" Rachel said as she chose her song…..'Turn On The Music (Axwell Remix) and chose the Beginner Mode.
As Rachel played the game, Madoka seemed intrigued by what was transpiring in front of her.
"This is most interesting." The Kyoto Girl said.
"Well I usually play Normal Mode, but I chose beginner mode so you could get a better understanding on how to play it." Rachel responded. As she continued to dance away on the machine.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(So Tell Me About Yourself)
As Kaorin And Joshua made their way towards a nearby Red Lobster, with their arms still wrapped around each other, Joshua decided to stare at the sky.
"So you're into Astrology huh?" He asked.
Kaorin just giggled. "It's Astronomy, geez why does everyone always get those two things confused." she responded.
"Sorry, It's that looking at the sky and seeing all those stars…. Well you can't really see them because of the lights the city is blaring., but I'll bet they are beautiful tonight." Joshua said.
"Well I've always been fascinated by them." Kaorin started. "My dad was an astronomer, when I was a little girl, he once took me to an observatory, I was so fascinated by seeing all those stars and celestial bodies, I had knew I had found my calling."
"Wow I'd like to meet him sometimes." Joshua said.
Kaorin just gave a small frown. "He was killed in a car accident when I was about 3." she replied.
"Oh I'm sorry." Joshua replied. "You must miss him."
Kaorin just looked up at the sky. "Actually I don't remember much about him, except for that times he would take me and my mom stargazing." she replied. "But that trip to the observatory." she said her grip on Joshua tightened. "That's the best memory I have of him."
Joshua just stared at Kaorin. "Do you have any brothers or sisters?" She asked.
"No, it's just me and mom." Kaorin replied. "Although I sometimes I wish I had a sister, it would be so cool to do sister stuff." she said. "But luckily I do have a lot of friends." she said as she smiled. "Especially Chihiro-san, she always stays by my side no matter what."
"Then you should consider yourself lucky, I don't have to many friends." Joshua told her. "For some reason, just because of my dad, people think I'm such a spoiled kid."
"Why would they think that?" Kaorin asked in a confused tone."
Joshua quickly tried to change the subject. "So uh, what are you going to order when we get there?" he asked.
Kaorin just gave a little smirk. "Fine, keep your little secret, It's not like I really care anyway." she said.
Joshua just sighed in relief. "If you only knew the truth about my Dad's job." he thought.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(You Lied)
Chihiro was at the counter when an upset Wada rushed up.
"Is something wrong?" Chihiro asked.
"Yes, I've been mislead." Wada said as she put her burger on the counter.
"I don't understand, is there something wrong with your order?" Chihiro asked.
"Yes." Wada responded. "I was told you can milk your burger, but I can't find those thingies you have to squeeze to get the milk out of."
Chihiro…. Just sweat dropped and then realized why Wada would say that. "Oh Osaka-san?" She called.
Osaka walked up. "Yes Chihiro-san." Osaka asked in a cheerful tone.
"Wada-san thinks she can milk her burger, could you tell me why?" Chihiro asked.
"Wada-san, I said you could milk your burger, not that you can actually milk your burger." Osaka replied. "Besides, the udders probably got all ground up with the beef." She said as everyone in the restaurant got a pale look.
"She's just kidding folks." Chihiro told everyone. "Please continue enjoying your meals." she said as she sweat dropped.
Kagura walked up. "I told you not to say anything, you can't milk a burger." she scolded.
"But Osaka-san said…." Wada started.
Kagura just scratched her head. "Wada-san, just go and eat your burger." she said.
"What about your burger?" Wada asked. "Maybe that one can be milked."
"Wada…. Please go and eat your burger…..please." Kagura said in a pleading tone.
"Okey dokey." Wada said as she headed back to her seat.
"What a weirdo." Osaka said which caused Chihiro and Kagura to give her a strange look.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Dance Machine Madoka)
Rachel had finished up her dance routine on the game. Would you like to try it?" she asked Madoka.
"I do not know, it does seem complicated." Madoka responded.
"Come on, you'll love it." Rachel told her.
"Very well, it does seem amusing." Madoka said as she walked up and deposited some yen in the slot. "Now how do you do this." Madoka thought as she picked the same song… but on expert mode.
"Madoka-san.. Wait you put the most difficult mode on." Rachel warned.
But the Kyoto girl was to busy concentrating on the game as it began.
"Oh she's gonna embarrasses herself" Rachel thought.
But surprisingly, Madoka was managing to keep in pace with the arrows. A small smile appeared on her face, like a little child enjoying a new toy. "This is most exciting." Madoka said as she continued to make it look so easy.
"Wow." Rachel said softly as a small crowd gather around them. "Wow." Rachel said louder as she noticed all the people.
"She's awesome." Said one girl.
"How is she doing it." Said another girl.
Outside, a big screen was showing the screenshot's of Madoka's game. People gather in amazement as they saw someone mastering the game so easily.
Madoka was filled with excitement as she stomped away on the arrows. "By the spirits, this is so… fun." she said as she continued.
Finally the level came to an end and then everyone in the arcade as well as the people outside watching on the big screen cheered.
"What is this?" Madoka asked.
"Woah Madoka-san, you sure learn fast." Rachel said.
"I would like to leave now." Madoka said nervously.
"Uh sure." Rachel answered as they both left as everyone continued to cheer Madoka's accomplishment.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As they made their way around the corner. Rachel and Madoka noticed a tall girl ahead, and she seemed to be carrying something.
"Sakaki-san?" Rachel asked.
The girl turned around and indeed it was Sakaki. She quickly hid whatever she was carrying behind her.
"Um good evening Rachel-san…..and you two Madoka-san." Sakaki said nervously.
"Greetings my friend." Madoka said as she bowed. "Tell us, what brings you out on a wonderful night such as this?" she asked.
"I was just… taking a walk." Sakaki responded.
Rachel seemed confused. "Are you hiding something from us?" she asked.
Sakaki blushed in embarrassment. "Promise you wont laugh?" she asked.
"It depends." Rachel said as she smirked.
"Miss Rachel, it is very rude to behave in such a manner." Madoka scolded.
"Gomen." Rachel said. "Okay I promise."
"As do I." Madoka added.
Slowly, Sakaki took out what appeared to be a stuffed Necoconeco.
"That is so cute." Rachel said.
"I must admit, it is very lovely object." Madoka added.
Rachel seemed confused. "Um, Madoka, you know that thing… that uh…. Well the meow meow problem?" she whispered in Madoka's ear.
"Oh I am only affected by real cats, not artificial ones such as the object Miss Sakaki is holding." Madoka whispered back.
"Is everything okay?" Sakaki asked.
"Everything is fine." Rachel said as she smiled.
"But from what I heard, you have a lone wolf persona." Madoka said.
"I know, and I just let everyone continue to think that. That way, people would leave me alone, because if they knew I liked cute things, they might have thought of me as strange." Sakaki explained.
"That is nothing to be ashamed of Miss Sakaki." Madoka told her.
"Yeah, you'll be our friend no matter what." Rachel also said.
"Arigato… Kaorin and Chihiro were the only other ones to know, and now you two know, and you have accepted me for me and not that lone wolf persona, and well, that makes me very happy." She said as she smiled. "Because now I have true friends."
Rachel grabbed Sakaki's hand. "And now you'll have us as friends for life." she said.
"And it is indeed an honor." Madoka said as she also smiled.
Yes, it was a touching moment… but alas… this is Azumanga Daioh remember… for you see, at that moment…. Kamineko appeared behind them and meowed.
Now here you have two girls, one who adores cats, and the other who is afraid of them, but that wasn't the issue here, the issue was for poor Kamineko, he stared at Sakaki and he gave a toothy grin, but then he stared at Madoka and he purred, yes the poor cat's head was spinning.
"I will pet you." Sakaki said.
"Must… get away." Madoka said.
Rachel just started at the two girls in confusion. "Well this is really odd." she thought.
Kamineko just collapsed as his eye swirled.
"I….I must return to the temple." Madoka said as she quickly rushed off.
"Madoka-san." Rachel responded as she ran off after her.
Sakaki just stared at the dazed out Kamineko. "Poor thing." She thought as she reached out to pet her…….and then…..
CHOMP!!!!!!
Even in it's confused state, Kamineko still managed to react as Sakaki tried to pet him.
"Why does he hate me so." Sakaki thought as she grimaced in pain.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Let's Sing)
The two teachers, the nurse, and the secretary, left the restaurant, Minamo and Miku were carrying Yukari, who obviously had overdid it again on the drinking.
"Come on…. (hic)… one more round." Yukari mumbled.
"I can't believe she still acts this way." Miku said.
"I finally got used to it, there is no way Yukari will ever change." Minamo responded.
Jade noticed something up ahead. "Hey look that bar over there is having a Karaoke night." she told her friends.
"Jade, I don't think now would be a good idea to go into a bar, especially the way Yukari is." Minamo told her.
"We don't have to get anything to drink, come on let's just go and sing a quick number." Jade pleaded.
Miku just stared at Yukari. "Well I guess it couldn't hurt, besides look….."
"ZZZZZZZZZZZ" Yukari snored.
"Well I suppose we could go in for a quick tune.": Minamo said. "Wait what am I saying, it is our responsibility to make sure Yukari makes it home safely."
"Okay you take her home, Jade and I will tell you everything on Monday about how it went at the bar." Miku said as she winked.
Minamo just stared at Yukari.
"ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ" It almost seemed like Yukari was snoring louder.
"Well okay, but only for one song." Minamo said, hoping she wouldn't regret her actions.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And so after 5 songs…. (sweat drops) The three women were having the time of their lives, while they had left Yukari sleeping at nearby table.
"Come On Minamo-san, just one more okay." Jade pleaded.
"Hey I know, sing that Sailor Mercury one, I always thought you sounded a lot like her." Miku requested.
"Well okay, but after that one, we'll call it a night, okay." Minamo responded.
"Oh yeah, let's go take a seat, this should be fun." Jade said as she and Miku quickly headed to a table.
"Okay everyone, I am going to sing one more song… this is Koibito ni Hanarenai Kedo a song from that classic anime whose name escapes for the moment, but I'm sure you'll enjoy it." And with that, she began to sing….
zutto sagashita to tonari no benchi

gogo no mabushii kawazashi de
kinou shogeta koto
chanto wakatte itekureta
ureshikatta yo nani yori mo

Everyone in the bar cheered when she finished. "Okay good night." She said as she walked up to Miku and Jade. "Okay let's get Yukari and get her home." She looked around. "Wait a second." She kept looking around. "I don't see her anywhere." she said in a panicked tone. "Weren't you two keeping an eye on her?" she asked.
"I thought you were." Miku and Jade said in unison as they pointed at each other.
"Not good, in her drunken state things could get dangerous." Minamo explained.
"Yeah, she could hurt herself badly." Jade said.
"I'm not talking about Yukari, I'm talking about the poor soul who runs into her." Minamo responded. "Come on." And with that the three friends rushed out to look for the missing teacher.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Dinner and Pearl diving)
After waiting for nearly an hour, Kaorin and Joshua had were finally seated next to a huge aqaurium.
"It was worth the wait, look at all the beautiful tropical fish." Kaorin said as her eyes twinkled.
But Joshua was busy reading the menu. "These prices are incredible." He taught. "I'm might have to call dad to help." He then stared at Kaorin. "No, I'll find a way, lucky things always seem to happen to me all the time anyway."
Kaorin was glancing at the menu as well. "Wow, this really is pricey." she said. "And you say you can afford this, what is your family rich or something?" she asked.
Josuha started to panic. "What, oh no, uh, It's that once in a while I feel that people like us should live it up once in a while." he responded.
"What do you mean people like us?" Kaorin said as her eyes narrowed.
"Your blowing it." Joshua thought to himself. "Look, I know you don't like me and the last thing you wanted to do was go on this forced date…. So I promise, after this… I'll leaved you alone." he finally said.
Kaorin just stared at with a confused look. "Well, I guess you tried to give me a good time." She said. "And I guess I could try and be a little grateful." She gave a small smile. "And if you want we can split the bill."
"No." Joshua interpreted. "You are my 'date' and I will do the honorable thing and pay for our meal."
Kaorin just gave a small laugh. "You almost sounded like Madoka-san." she said.
"Who?" Joshua asked.
"Never mind." she said as she looked at the menu. "You know, this place just doesn't seem to be my cup of tea, why don't we blow this place and go to Magnetron burger."
"But…" Joshua started.
"I insist." Kaorin demanded.
Joshua just smiled. "Whatever me lady wants." he said in a British accent.
"I just need a moment to powder my nose and we'll be on our way." Kaorin said as she stood up.
"Why do you always say that, why don't you say you gotta go to the restroom." Joshua asked.
"Because then it wouldn't be ladylike." Kaorin responded as she smirked then looked around. "Where is the restroom anyway."
Joshua looked around. "Oh there they are, just take the stairs behind the aquarium." he said.
"That's a strange place for them to be." Kaorin said as she headed towards the stairs.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Time passed as Joshua looked at his watch. "I wonder why girls always take forever in the restroom anyway." he thought.
As he was busy away… well being bored. Kaorin finally left the restroom, as she was about to reach the stairs, another girl bumped into her, causing one of the pearl earrings she was wearing to come of and fall into the huge aquarium. "OH NO!!!!" She screamed.
Joshua heard her and then rushed up the stairs and joined her.
"What's wrong Kaorin?" he asked.
"One of the earrings I was wearing fell into the aquarium." she said.
"Don't worry, if you want I could get you some new ones." Joshua replied.
"No you don't understand, my dad gave my mom those earrings on their 1st anniversary, they are so special to her…." Kaorin said as tears appeared in her eyes. "I told mom I didn't want to wear them, but she insisted… what am I gonna tell her."
Joshua just sighed. "Hold on a second." he said as he went back down the stairs.
Joshua walked up to a waiter. "Excuse me, my date's earring fell into the aquarium, is there anyway we could get it out?" he asked.
The waiter just shook his head. "I'm sorry sir, but you'll have to wait until it is time to clean out the aquarium." he answered. "And that's not scheduled until next week."
Joshua looked up towards Kaorin, he could see the disappointment in her eyes. "Arigato, but I don't think I can wait." he said as he went back up the stairs.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
"So?" Kaorin asked as Joshua walked up.
"Don't worry, you're getting that earring back." Joshua replied as he took of his coat and tie.
"What are you doing?" Kaorin asked.
"That earring is special to you, I don't want to see you sad anymore." Joshua replied as he took of his shoes.
"You can't be serious." Kaorin said.
"Yes." Joshua said as he took a deep breath and jumped into the aquarium.
"He is…. interesting." Kaorin thought as she went down the stairs.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Kaorin just saw as Joshua swam along the bottom of the aquarium as everyone in the restaurant just stared in disbelief.
"Be careful." Kaorin whispered as the manager walked up.
"What is he doing?" the manager asked.
"He's looking for my earring." Kaorin replied. "I'm sorry if it's creating a scene."
The manager just stared as Joshua continued to look for the earring. "You gotta be one special girl for a guy to do something as foolish as that for you." he said.
Kaorin just kept staring at the aquarium. She had to admit, the other guys in school probably wouldn't have jumped into a giant aquarium to look for a priceless heirloom.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"It's gotta be around here somewhere." Joshua thought as he continued to swim around. Finally he noticed a small object near what appeared to be a huge rock. "Bingo." he thought as he swam up to it and picked up the earring. He showed it to Kaorin who was smiling.
Joshua was about to swim to the surface when he noticed that his leg seemed to have caught on something.
"What the hell." He thought as he looked down and noticed that it wasn't a rock he swam up to, but a giant clam that had clamped down on his leg.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"OH NO!!!!!!" Kaorin screamed as everyone in the restaurant stared with a panic look. "You've got to do something." she told the manager.
"And what do you want me to do, dive in after him?" he asked.
"Well… yeah?" she said in an annoyed tone.
"Forget it, do you know how much this outfits costs." he responded as Kaorin just sweat dropped.
"You jerk." Kaorin responded as she ran up the stairs.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Joshua could feel his air running out. "Why…. Isn't somebody trying… to help me." he thought. It was then that he heard a splashing sound. As he looked up, he saw that Kaorin was swimming towards him.
Joshua gave her a confused look as Kaorin reached out for him and gave him the breath of life.
Kaorin swam back up and took a deep breath and dove back down towards Joshua. She tried to forced open the clam, but the grip was to tight.
Joshua signaled to her for them to pull at the same time. But the clam still wouldn't open.
Kaorin quickly gave Joshua another breath of life and swam back towards the surface.
"Don't you guys have like a crowbar or something?" she asked.
"No." the manager responded.
"Well find something." Kaorin demanded as she dove back down.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kaorin swam back towards Joshua, she could see that he was getting tired. She looked around the aquarium to see if there was anything that would get the clam open, it was then that she noticed a huge figure of King Neptune holding a trident.
She quickly swam towards it and grabbed the trident and swam back to the surface, took a deep breath and swam back to Joshua giving him yet another breath of life.
She then placed the trident in the clam and put all her strength into pulling the trident down. "Hang on Joshua." she thought as finally the clam opened.
Kaorin then help Joshua back to the surface and a group of people were there and helped pulled them out.
"Are….you…. Okay?" Kaorin asked as she was trying to catch her breath.
Joshua just held out his hand. "Here….you….go." he said as he handed her the earring.
"You should have let it go, it wasn't worth risking your life." Kaorin said.
"You touched my lips three times, believe me it was wroth it." he responded.
Kaorin couldn't help but give a small laugh.

(Surprise Visitor)
Chiyo was in her room finishing up her homework. Next to her was her Pyrenean Mountain Dog whose name was Tadakichi. Chiyo had him since he was a puppy, at first they were both saw small, but over the years, he grew so fast and so big, that Chiyo could actually ride him.
Chiyo loved him very much, and you could tell that Tadakichi loved Chiyo just as much.
"Well Tadakichi-san, I finally finished my homework, how about we go get a snack." she said. Tadakichi just barked as if he agreed.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chiyo and Tadakichi reached the kitchen when they heard a buzzard sound. "I wonder who that could be at this time of night." Chiyo thought as she went to an intercom. "Hello."
"I WANT MY YAKITORI!!!!!!!!" a woman's voice screamed.
"I know that voice." Chiyo thought. "Yukari-Sensei, is that you?" she asked.
"Mmph." Yukari responded before everything went silent.
"She doesn't sound very well, let's go see if she's okay Tadakichi-san." Chiyo said.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As she reached the front gate, Chiyo saw the passed out Yukari lying there.
"ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ" Yukari snored.
"What's wrong with her." Chiyo thought as she sniffed. "Ewww, she smells like that stuff daddy drinks at special occasions." she said.
It was then that Kagura and Wada walked by.
"Oi Chiyo-chan, I was hoping to see you at Magnetron burger tonight but….. Is that Yukari-Sensei?" She asked when she finally noticed the sleeping teacher.
"Ooooh, she looks so happy." Wada said.
"Help me get her inside." Chiyo said.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wow Chiyo-chan, this place is so big." Kagura said as she looked around Chiyo's house.
Kagura and Wada were even more surprised when they saw Chiyo's room.
"Big." Wada said softly.
"Just place her on my bed." Chiyo said.
"So what are you gonna do Chiyo-chan." Kagura asked.
Chiyo looked inside Yukari's purse, normally she would hate going through other people's things, but this was an unusual circumstance.
"A-ha." Chiyo said as she pulled out her cell phone. "Strange, she only has one number in her memory…. Her mom."
"I thought he would have Kurosawa's number, or even Nurse Miku's." Kagura said.
"Well it's the only one listed so I guess I'll have to call that one." she said as she dialed the number.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile Minamo, Miku, and Jade were sitting on a bus stop bench, wondering how they were going to explain to Yukari's mother that they lost her daughter.
"Maybe she wont notice." Jade ask.
"This is Yukari we're talking about, believe me her mom will notice her missing." Miku answered
It was then that Minamo's cell phone rang.
"Maybe that's her." Jade asked.
"Doubt it, I made sure Yukari doesn't have my number to keep her from calling me constantly." Minamo responded as she answered her cell phone. "Hello?"
"HOW COULD YOU LOSE MY DAUGHTER!!!!!!" Yukari's mom yelled.
"But I made sure to give it to her mom just it case there was an emergency." Minamo said as she sweat dropped.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yukari's mom had agreed to let Yukari sleepover in Chiyo's house, and Chiyo's parents had agreed.
"Doesn't it fell weird to have your teacher sleeping over in your house?" Kagura asked.
"No, besides, I think Yukari-Sensei needs to get to sleep as soon as possible." Chiyo responded.
"But she go night night on Chiyo's bed." Wada said.
"That's okay, Tadakichi-san and I will sleep in one of the guest rooms." Chiyo assured them.
"Damn Chiyo, that is one big dog." Kagura said.
"Yes he is… and could you please watch your language." Chiyo said as she smile.
"Oops, sorry." Kagura said as she blushed. "Come on Wada-san, we'd better get to our homes before our parents worry."
"Yes yes." Wada answered. "Night Night Chiyo-chan." she said.
"Yeah have a good nights sleep okay?" Kagura added.
"You too." Chiyo said as she closed her eyes and smiled.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(And This Is Where We Came In)
Kaorin and Joshua were in a taxi heading for Kaorin's house. The manager at Red Lobster decided not to call the police, because he thought it wouldn't be fair to the cute couple… well that and the fact that the restaurant would get publicity if it ever got out that he had the boy that did something so noble arrested.
"Sorry I couldn't take you to dinner." Joshua said in a disappointed tone.
"That's okay, It was still an.. Interesting evening." Kaorin responded.
"I'm sure you won't forget it anytime soon." Joshua said as he smiled.
"Look Joshua." Kaorin said as she got a serious look. "I know it's none of my business but I'm just curious, what was your ex-girlfriend like."
"Ah yes Denise." Joshua responded as he sighed. "Well she was so controlling you know, always telling what I should do, what to eat, what to wear… she drove me crazy."
"Wow she sounds obsessive." Kaorin responded.
"Yeah, and even after I broke up with her, she would still bother me at school, and tried to call me at my home." Joshua said. "She was so obsessive it was scary."
"Uh, yeah." Kaorin answered as she remembered the crush she had on Sakaki. "I just hate people like that." She said as she sweat dropped.
The taxi finally reached Kaorin's home.
"Keep the meter running, I'll be right back." Joshua told the taxi driver.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Joshua walked Kaorin to the front door. "Well it looks like our 'date' is finally coming to an end." he said.
"Yeah." Kaorin said as she just stared at Joshua.
"You know, I bet you're happy that it's finally ov….." but Joshua didn't get a chance to finish that last sentence as Kaorin pulled him in and started to kiss him.
It was at that moment that the front door opened at Kari walked out.
"So, have a nice date?" She asked.
Kaorin stopped kissing Joshua and turned to her mom. "Mom, please." she said.
"Fine, fine, I'll be in the living room if you need me, and maybe then you could tell me why you two are soaking wet." Kari said as she went back inside.
"Now…" Kaorin said as she smiled. "Where were we." and then… they continued to kiss.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(The Next Day)
Yukari slowly woke up. "Ack my head." she said as she rubbed her eyes.
Everything seemed so blurry. "Man. I don't even remember how I got home." she thought.
She got out of bed and headed towards the door. "Wow, it sure seems a little more roomy in here now…. Mommy must've redecorated." she thought.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hmmmm, something smells good, I'd better head downstairs and see what's cooking." Yukari thought as she headed towards the stairs when a realization hit her. "Wait a minute, we don't have stairs." she thought.
Yukari looked around and noticed that she was in a strange house.
"WHERE THE HELL AM I!!!!!" She screamed.
"Oh good morning Yukari-Sensei, and welcome to my house." a voice said.
Yukari turned around and saw Chiyo and Tadakichi standing there.
"That's….. one hell of a dog." she said.
"Why thank you…. But please… watch your language." Chiyo said as she smiled.
Yukari just scratched her head. "So….. You got any Saki around?" Yukari asked which caused Chiyo to just sweat drop.
