I have archived and drawn back my previous Azumanga story pending on reason's I will reveal later, if at all. But here is a different one I wish to test. No flames please.
Chapter 1, "Realization".
"We're graduating soon! This sucks!" Tomo said to no one in particular.
"It sucks? Why?" Yomi asked, expecting a stupid answer in return.
"What if we get accepted into different colleges? What if we lose touch with each other? What about Chiyo-chan? I'll never be able to hit her or copy her work again!" she ranted, stopping only after losing her breath.
"First, Tomo," Yomi replied, "We probably will get into different colleges. Big deal. Second, I'm pretty sure that we're going to stay in contact with one another. I do wonder what it'll be like without Chiyo-chan, though…" she stressed the last part.
"What're we talkin' about?" Osaka asked, in her usual way of asking.
"About what's going to happen after we graduate." Yomi answered.
"Where are you planning on going, you guys?" Kagura interjected.
"Tokyo University." Yomi answered.
"I dunno!" Tomo answered.
"I'm gonna try goin' to America, like Chiyo-chan." Osaka replied.
-----------
"So, you're going to America? Are you going to try and get in the same college as Chiyo-chan? Because, ya'know, I've noticed you two are kinda close, and-"Tomo began to accuse before being silenced by a smash to the head from Kagura.
"What was that last part?" Osaka asked.
"It was nothing," Kagura quickly answered, "So Osaka, why are you going to America?" she inquired.
"Well…uhhh…I guess because Chiyo-chan's goin'." She replied vacantly.
"Is that so? Is that the only reason?" Yomi finished.
"No!" Osaka suddenly blurted. "No, it's just…well, I wanna see America, and stuff…" she lied.
"I see…" Tomo said malevolently.
"That's the only reason! Now let's drop it!" Osaka insisted, and they got ready for Yukari's wrath.
-----------
"Hey, Chiyo-chan!" Tomo called, preparing one of her schemes.
"What is it, Tomo?" she asked.
"Did you hear? Osaka's going to try to get into the same college as you, because she-" Tomo informed her with a purely evil grin, whilst Osaka entered the room. Having heard what Tomo was saying, she was about to freak out when Yomi was the one to silence her.
"Stop it! I'm sure it's nothing like that. Chiyo, don't listen to her." Yomi intervened, resulting in a sigh of relief from the aforementioned bubble-head.
"Oh, hey Osaka. Come over here!" Kagura invited. Chiyo moved to intercept her.
"Miss Osaka, is it true you're going to the same college as me? Is it?" she bombarded, wondering if her best friend was actually planning on this.
"I…well, yeah, but…" Osaka faltered, not knowing what to say to her.
"Alright, Chiyo, I think she gets it." Kagura settled her.
-----------
"I hear American colleges give out a pretty good load of professionals. I was actually fiddling with the idea of going there to get a sports career. Since those two are going, maybe…" Kagura mused. Sakaki, who had long since remained silent to this point, threw in her piece.
"I'm thinking about going there, to get my degree for becoming a veterinarian." She said.
"Really? America's certainly popular today." Tomo interrupted.
"Maybe I'll go too, if I can get into one of those high class colleges. What do they call it, Ivy League? Harvard, and those others" Yomi said.
"What? If Yomi's going, I am too!" Tomo declared.
"Hmmm, makes you wonder just why Tomo follows Yomi everywhere, doesn't it?" Kagura implicated.
"WHAT! No! Shut up, Kagura!" Tomo shouted, attacking her.
"Not to mention Tomo doesn't have the grades to make any of those exceptional places." Yomi pointed. At that point, Osaka and Chiyo entered.
-----------
The two looked in confusion at the ongoing debate. "What're ya'll talkin' about?" Osaka asked plainly.
"We're discussing college things, and… we're thinking about forming a group and going to America with you two." Kagura explained.
"Really? That's great! We can all go to the same college!" Chiyo exclaimed.
"But…" Osaka shifted uneasily, though not enough to gather the group's attention.
At that point, the resident lunatic barged into the room. "Alright! Discussion time! What pointless, worthless things are you going to do after graduation?" Yukari asked; or more so demanded.
"I'm going to Britain!" one student answered.
"I'm going to Okinawa!" another said.
"Apparently we're all going to America." Kagura answered, indicating their three-year group.
"Huh! Is that so? In that case, I've got important work to do!" Yukari informed while running out the door. Everybody in the room sweat dropped.
-----------
School ended, and Osaka was on her way home. 'They're all comin' to America. If that happens, then...' She was interrupted from her thoughts by Chiyo.
"Miss Osaka, why did you decide to go to America?" she asked. Osaka stopped.
"Well, it's…umm, i-it's just…that I w-wanted to…" she stammered, looking for the words. She didn't want to lie to Chiyo, but she didn't want to admit her reasons either.
"Oh, well, it's alright Miss Osaka. You don't have to tell me." Chiyo said cheerily, but Osaka thought she detected a hint of hurt in her voice.
'Man, this is gonna be harder than I thought…' Osaka thought as she parted ways with Chiyo to head home.
-----------
End of Chapter 1.
First chapter is up! RR, and if you like it, I'll make another chapter.
