So, here comes the next chapter to the great adventures of the Azumanga Girls. The first one had to do with the main plot just a little bit, but I'm gonna get more into that this chapter. I'll try to make it funny, but please understand that I have a strange sense of humor. So, what may be funny to me might not be to you. Just keep that in mind. Gracias.

Damn. It seems that my attempts to spread a rumor aren't succeeding. I just have to come up with something no one can resist to spread. How about 'Yomi is a sea monster who sneaks away after school to eat fish. That's why she always gets so fat.' No, No, No! I need something much better than that.

Tomo looked around the classroom for the next unsuspecting victim. The only way that I'm going to get any real good dirt on people is if I investigate further.

"Super Detective Tomo is on the case!" Tomo yelled, pointing her finger in the air and standing up from her desk. The room went silent. "I'm sorry, Ms. Yukari. Please continue with your lesson. I'll go stand out in the hall."

"Right…you go and do that…" Ms. Yukari said and continued to write up on the board. Tomo walked out of the classroom, grabbing two buckets filled with water on the way.

She stood outside of the classroom with a bucket in each hand. Let's see…I know! 'Ms. Sakaki likes to eat cat food and plots to take over the world with her army of evil hand biting cats!' No, No, No! That's too broad of a subject. Oh, wow this is heavy. The buckets in her hands were beginning to grow heavier by the second.

"Hello, Tomo! What are you doing outside of class?" Chiyo-chan asked with a bathroom pass in her hand.

"I disrupted the class…" Tomo said, still thinking about a good rumor worth spreading.

"Again? You're gonna get yourself in trouble."

"Yeah, yeah. I've heard the story. Now, shoo!" Tomo said, kicking her back into the classroom. "Aahh. Peace and quiet." Tomo sighed once the door was closed again. She went back into her deep thought, or at least as much deep thinking as she could manage. I mean, this is Tomo we're talking about. "I got it!" Tomo yelled, dropping the buckets that she held as she threw her hands up in the air.

"Now, this has to be changed this way…just because…" Ms. Yukari said to the class, ignoring the loud sounds they heard in the hallway. "But-"

She was interrupted when the classroom door opened. Tomo was standing in the doorway absolutely drenched. "Ms. Yukari, I think I might need some more water out here. And a mop would be nice." Some water leaked past Tomo and into the classroom as she said this.

"Why do you think you're doing? If I have to pay for any damage, it will be coming out of your pocket! Osaka! Go get the mop!" Yukari yelled as she stared at the water and then shot evil glances at Tomo.

Osaka got out of her seat but began to walk around the room. "Where's the mop?" She finally asked Ms. Sakaki who sat near the front.

"In the cabinets in the back." Sakaki said calmly.

"Right." Osaka went to the cabinets in the back and no sooner than she got there, she came jogging back. "Which one?"

"God Dammit, Osaka! Chiyo-chan! Go get the mop!" Ms. Yukari yelled before Sakaki could answer.

"Yes, ma'am!" Chiyo-chan said and then walked over to the cabinets. She opened the third one on the right and went rummaging through it. She came out seconds later with a mop in her hands. She then trotted over to Ms. Yukari and handed her the mop.

"Don't give it to me! I'm not the one who's gonna clean it up!" Ms. Yukari yelled. "Give it to Tomo!"

And so, Chiyo-chan did and Tomo groaned. "Why me?"

"Why you? You're the one who started this whole mess!"

"Oh, right." Tomo said and laughed slightly. "Here you go Chiyo-chan." Tomo handed the mop back to Chiyo-chan. "Get to work!" She yelled pointing to the flood outside the door.

Chiyo-chan didn't even try to protest. She just started to mop up the water. Tomo pulled out a tape recorder and whispered, "Evidence #1. Chiyo-chan follows orders." And then hid the recorder behind her back.

Yomi came up behind Tomo and whacked her on the head. "Why is Chiyo-chan doing you're job?" She asked coldly.

Tomo thought for a moment. "She asked to do it."

"No she did not! I heard the whole thing!"

Then, Tomo remembered something Osaka had said. "Fuhgeddaboudit." She said, waving her hand. Everyone froze and stared at Tomo. "What?" She asked. She then looked at the doorway and stared right at the face of the principal. "Uh- Mr. Principal! What a nice afternoon it is." Tomo said nervously.

"Does anyone care to explain this to me?" He said. Tomo could see one of the veins in his temple begin to rise. The room went dead silent. "No? Well then, who should be held accountable?" Everyone pointed at Tomo who looked around frantically before pointing at Osaka.

"It's no fair! I'm outnumbered! Chiyo-chan! You should be on my side!" Tomo grabbed Chiyo-chan's arm and pointed it at Osaka. "Ha! Beat that! Two against…" She paused as she counted and her spirits dropped. "Who knows how many else." Her vice trailed off and she held her hand s in front of her and hung her head. "I admit to the crime. Take me away in chains and let me rot in the deepest darkest dungeon of this school!"

"Ok- but I do not believe that that will be necessary. But, I would like to have a word with you in my office."

Tomo groaned and then followed the principal out the door.

"Everyone, clean up this mess!" Ms. Yukari said, sitting in her chair and propping her feet up on her desk.

Some curses could be heard as thew students picked up mops and rags and began to clean up all the mess that Tomo left behind.

"I think that school work is even better than this." Yomi complained.

"Well, that's just how Tomo is. Always causing trouble for others." Chiyo-chan sighed.

"Is everything alright? I heard yelling." Nyamo said as she walked into the room. "Why is there so much water on the floor?"

"What does it matter to you, you witch!" Yukari snapped, now on her feet. "What the hell do you think you are doing in my classroom?"

"Oh, that. I came over to invite you to lunch. But, seeing that you don't want to." Nyamo sighed. "And I was going to let you drive. Oh well." And she turned to start to leave.

"Wait! I was just-uh- joking! You know we're good pals, right?" Yukari walked over to Nyamo and was patting her on the back.

"Right."
