In Dreams
Disclaimer: If I owned Azumanga Daioh there's me more Mrs. Kimura, Kimura daughter, Ouyama, Kaorin's mom, Chihiro, Yuka, Michiru, and the braided-haired girl.
Pairings: Multiple.
Chapter three – Kaori(n)
I think me and Osaka are more alike than people think.
Osaka dreams about diabolical pig-tails and talking cats with human daughters but still. We're are both day dreamers. I may look like the ideal student but you wouldn't believe how many notes I'm missing because my mind keeps wondering to a dark-haired woman on a noble white steed, both of them shining under the lunar nightly sparkles of the moon and stars in the sky as they stand above my head on a cliff.
Yet I was mean to Osaka in my dreams… I made her evil.
I made Yomi evil… the same Yomi who like Chihiro pushes me to talk to Miss Sakaki! (Ooooh Miss Sakaki! How your name makes my heart go a flutter and my knees weak!)
And Chiyo-chan… LITTLE Chiyo-chan, Sakaki's most prized person!
Maybe that's why she was the leader… because I'm jealous of her.
I wish be the cute little girl at Sakaki's side.
I voted that we wear teddy bear ears at the school fest so I could get her attention… unfortunately I forgot that EVERYONE in our class would be wearing them… So then I wore the cat suit. Then Sakaki was selling her stuffed animals on a different floor, so I gave it too Tomo, who I really think IS my enemy. If she and Yomi weren't the greatest couple ever I'd team up with the bespectacled girl and totally annihilate Tomo!
That was another dream I had. When I told Osaka she fell apart laughing.
I blushed so hard… it was as if she became Sakaki for a moment.
I considered talking to Sakaki, asking her what sort of dreams she had.
But I doubt I'm in them… I'm not ready to have that confirmed yet.
For now I wanna dream…
To be her "Kaori".
Maybe Osaka has dreams like that too. No one really does understand her train of thought.
The more I wonder about hers the more I question my own sanity.
I don't need that… the boys in school already think I'm nuts after screaming at Chihiro and cheering "HURRAH!" at Sakaki.
Sadly, it's true… as much as I hate to admit it, Osaka and I are the same person.
If only Sakaki was in that spot instead…
But I'm a teenager… so I can dream.
One more year anyway.
