Here is Pt. 2, just typed up. Hope you all enjoy. I do not, never have, and probably never will own Azumanga Daioh.

Chapter 12, "The Last Summer Vacation, Pt. 2".

The ride to the summer home was safe for the 3 current couples, thanks to Nyamo's competent driving skills. Unfortunately, the same couldn't be said for Kaorin and Chihiro. Kaorin had already experienced this horror once before, but the unwitting Chihiro had her first, and hopefully last, example of Yukari's driving; having only barely been able to stand swerving off the road twice, and scraping a guardrail once. Upon arrival, she got out of the car as fast as she could and grabbed hold of the nearest thing rooted to the ground. "W-w-w-w-what…j-just…h-happened?" she questioned, stuttering uncontrollably. Kaorin went to comfort her. "Yukari just happened…don't worry, I'll make sure you ride with Miss Kurosawa on the way back." She tried to suppress Chihiro's trembling as well. The others moved to help her. "I guess…we should have warned her?" Yomi questioned, although it was obviously too late. "Well, I suppose that counts as an initiation!" Tomo chirped, but finished when Kagura shot her a threatening glance. "Oh, come on…it wasn't that bad, was it?" Yukari complained. At that Chihiro began sobbing. "Alright, now that the casualties are racked up, let's head inside." Nyamo suggested, moving to help Chihiro. They entered the house, without any problems from Tomo this year, and filled the living room. Kaorin found it strange that there were…distinct pairs located around the table; Chiyo and Osaka, Yomi and Tomo, and…and…Sakaki and Kagura. 'W-what are they doing…together…like that? Oh well…I'm sure it's nothing, there's just no space for Miss Sakaki to sit…' she reasoned as she looked on. Chihiro had finally settled down somewhat, but kept a fair distance from Yukari.

"Well, I'm bored in here already! Who wants to go to the beach?" Tomo questioned. "Already? We just got here a couple of hours ago." Yomi said. "Who cares? I need to get in the water!" Tomo countered, and ran upstairs to change. Osaka and Chiyo sat at the table chatting, and, to Kaorin's dismay, Sakaki and Kagura had left together earlier. Since she didn't see any openings to talk with the others, she decided to approach Chihiro. "Hey, Chihiro. Are you…alright?" she asked, not sure what to say to the near-traumatized girl. "ACK! Ah…it's you, Kaorin. Yeah…I guess I am now…" Chihiro responded. "Alright, I'm ready to go!" Tomo yelled, interrupting whatever conversations were going on. She wore an orange-red two-piece. Most of the unwilling onlookers shrugged it off, but Yomi lingered on the thought that Tomo looked rather…attractive. None-the-less, she grabbed Tomo by the ear and pulled her out of the room. "Making a scene as usual? Why can't you just wait for the rest of us?" Yomi scolded her. "Why? They're all gonna take forever! And the swimsuit? I…thought you might like it…" Tomo trailed off, blushing. And Yomi was as well. "Well…anyway, just wait for a bit, would you?" Yomi finished, attempting to regain her composure. "…Fine. But I'm only waiting a little longer." Tomo gave in, and returned to change again. Yomi returned to the others, and talked with Nyamo for a bit.

"Huh…not much around here." Kagura stated as she and Sakaki wandered along the beach. They had left earlier so they could go along alone. "So, uhhh…what do you want to do?" Kagura asked, unsure if anything would be worthwhile around here. "Well…we could…I guess we could go out with the others tonight." Sakaki suggested. "Hey, yeah! We should celebrate everything that's been happening for us!" Kagura agreed. They would celebrate their relationships, and that they would be together in America. Or, at least, she, Sakaki, Chiyo, and Osaka would be. Exiting the house, Kaorin decided to look for Sakaki. 'She'd usually be indifferent around Miss Kagura. Why are they hanging out suddenly? I'm pretty sure…it's not…that…but, maybe it'd be best if I finally…told her?' Kaorin thought as she walked. Chihiro, having worked up the nerve to walk again, decided to go with her. "Hey, Kaorin. Where are you going?" she asked as she walked with her, but Kaorin didn't respond. "…Kaorin? Hello?" Chihiro tried again, waving her hand in front of her friend's face. "What? Ah!" Koarin squealed, snapping out of her thoughts. "Oh, it's you, Chihiro. What are you doing?" she asked. "I was bored, and I wanted to get away from Miss Yukari, so…I figured I'd follow you." Chihiro elaborated. "Ah…alright then. Do you know where Miss Sakaki and Miss Kagura might have gone?" Kaorin inquired, surprised that she was…glad Chihiro wanted to go along with her. "No clue. This is my first time here. Maybe one of the piers?" Chihiro suggested, seeing as though there was a small one farther down the beach.

"Hey, isn't that Kaorin?" Kagura asked, looking from the pier as the said girl was approaching them. A second person appeared beside her. "Yeah, and that's…Chihiro?" Sakaki guessed, not quite sure. 'She must have come looking for Sakaki. I fell for her, but…well, it really can't be helped. I suppose…we should tell her, and take care of it right now.' Kagura resolved. "I think…we should tell her…" she said sternly to Sakaki. "Uhhh…yeah, we should…" Sakaki agreed. They wouldn't get the chance though. At that moment, Tomo charged down the beach with the others in tow, and proceeded to run down Kaorin and Chihiro. "So, you guys were gonna party without us, eh? Not on my watch!" Tomo declared, and the others caught up to help the two trampled girls. "Nice work, Tomo. What's going on here, anyway?" Yomi asked, helping Chihiro. "Ah…look! Miss Sakaki and Miss Kagura are up there!" Kaorin told them, pointing to the two. They walked, with the exception of Tomo running, to the couple at the end of the pier. "So, what were you two doing?" Tomo asked, breathing heavily. "Is it any of your business? Anyway, we were just about to head back to the house." Kagura told her plainly. "What? You mean I ran here for nothing?" Tomo asked loudly. "I suppose so," Kagura stated, "so let's head back and get into the water a bit before it gets dark." She finished. The group started their trip back to the house, Kaorin trailing close to Sakaki.

Here is Pt. 2 now, and I'll be writing Pt. 3 up after this is uploaded.
