I do not own Azumanga Daioh.

The group was back in California. The day after, they just rested in Chiyo's marvelous home, sleeping, eating, drinking, or doing something else. On that particular day, Chiyo was doing quite a bit of those. It was morning, and after breakfast, Chiyo was eating something. There were several of them, they were small, and resembled trees.

"Chiyo, we just had breakfast! I didn't know you liked to eat," exclaimed a surprised Yomi.

"Today, I guess I'm having vegetable fetishism." Chiyo nibbled, and then gobbled down a piece of broccoli. "Want some?" offered Chiyo.

Yomi thought for a second. Broccoli was always okay for her. It didn't taste particularly bad, yet it didn't seem to make her gain weight. "Broccoli doesn't make you gain weight does it?"

"I think most vegetables don't fatten people."

"Does it make people lose weight?"

"…um…"

Several minutes later, Osaka came up to Chiyo, whom was nibbling on bite size carrots, dipping them into ranch. "Oh, hi Osaka-san!" smiled Chiyo cutely.

"T-too cute!" shouted Osaka, literally blowing herself away, missing the sofa she was suppose to land on. Rubbing her head as she got up, Osaka muttered, "Ow…that hurt."

"Eh…"

"Chiyo-chan, may I ask what you are eating?" asked Osaka, dumb as always. "Orange things…"

Suddenly, from behind, Tomo slapped Osaka's back violently, causing the girl to fall. "Carrots, moron!" shrieked Tomo. Her face became serious. "Wait, we just had breakfast. Are you eating those carrots for…oh my gosh! Don't tell me… No, no, NO!" Tomo fell to her knees, sobbing, muttering, "Dessert."

"Not dessert. These are my snack!"

"Healthy freak," mocked Tomo angrily. "I'm telling on you!" Tomo ran off weeping. Returning with Yukari, she explained the situation. "That girl…" she wept. "Carrots…for snack!"

Yukari stood there. She was grumpy, as Tomo had woken her up. And just to explain this. Her grumpiness activated, and she began to quiver violently. "TOMO! You bitch! Waking me up for no entire reason whatsoever!" Grabbing one of Chiyo's college hardback textbooks, Yukari slammed it repeatedly at Tomo.

Nyamo walked into the fight. "Oh god," she murmured as Yukari continuously shrieked, "You SHIT! You SHIT!" Nyamo ran up to Yukari and slapped her face. "How could you hurt a former student? God Yukari."

"…You're like my mom, Nyamo," Yukari mocked, calming down. "Whatever, I'm going back to sleep." A minute later, Yukari came running back with a cooking pan in her hand maniacally yelling, "Now I can't sleep!"

"What's going on sensei?" asked Kagura, coming out from the bathroom. "How come Yukari-sensei has a pan, and seems to be crazily trying to assault Tomo?"

"Long story," muttered Nyamo.

"God, what the hell!" shouted Yomi.

Meanwhile, Chiyo stood up, and walked to the backyard to eat in peace. Outside were Sakaki, Tadakichi, and Mayaa. "Hi Sakaki-san," waved Chiyo.

Sakaki blushed as Chiyo walked over to Tadakichi and Mayaa to pet them. Chiyo sat with the four, eating quietly as the Yukari versus Tomo fight was continuing. And during that period of time, Osaka was being constantly stepped on by Yukari, whom didn't notice her at all, to the point when she couldn't scream in pain anymore.

During lunch, the dispute continued. Forks, spoons, and Osaka flew across the kitchen table. Sighing, the others could only allow the two to continue to "war", since every time someone attempted to stop them, Chiyo or Osaka would be thrown across the table, much to everyone's distress, especially Chiyo's, Osaka's, and Sakaki's.

After lunch, the only thing Chiyo could do was nap, and hope that when she woke up, the fight would be over. She was fortunate. Yukari and Tomo had got on semi-medium bad terms by the time she woke up, at two o'clock.

Sighing, Chiyo began to read a book. Or to be more specific, a manga her father had bought from Japan. She and Osaka laughed as they flipped the pages slowly, although Osaka didn't quite understand the humor, and only laughed because she felt like it.

Yomi once again confronted Chiyo to ask what she was doing. "What're ya doing this time?"

"Reading manga," the cute little girl replied.

"What's the name and who's the mangaka?"

"Yotsubato! by Kiyohiko Azuma."

"Oh, that guy's pretty famous for comedy manga huh?" asked Yomi.

"Yep!" Chiyo smiled.

Yomi walked away, towards the refrigerator. A scream came from above, sounding like Tomo's voice. Tomo flung her room door open and jumped down the stairs.

"Ow!" she shouted, landing on her knee. "Whatever." Running up to Chiyo, she panicked, "Ch-chiyo-chan! There's a HUGE problem! C-come look!"

"What is it Tomo-chan?" asked Chiyo.

"I was watching this really cool fight scene in Lupin III, and suddenly, Fujiko spoke in ENGLISH! That's bad! I didn't understand a word she said! The television has a problem! Fix it! FIX IT!"

"Erm, Tomo-chan. That's called a dub. The anime was dubbed into English."

"Oh. Then there's no point in watching the episode anymore if I can't understand one word." Tomo spotted a manga in Chiyo's hands. "What's that?"

"Manga."

"Why? Why? Why?" Tomo shouted. "Impossible! Forgive me…"

"Huh?"

"Well, most of the things you do aren't cool, so if you read manga that would mean manga is for losers! I'm not a loser!" Tomo quickly thought of a solution. "Don't move," she said blankly. Tomo returned, hiding something. "I'm going to have to kill you."

"Wh-what?"

Osaka ran up in front of Chiyo, spread her arms out, and shouted, "If you want Chiyo-chan's life, you'll have to go through me first!"

Tomo pushed Osaka aside.

"Wow that was quick."

"Any last words?" Tomo smiled eerily, revealing a tipped, shining object.

"Um, um," cried Chiyo naively.

Tomo revealed the kitchen knife. "You lose, kid." Rising it up in the air, Tomo slashed it down to the point where it almost touched Chiyo's head. "Wh-what?" whispered Tomo, sounding as if she was dying. Tomo quickly turned her head to see Kagura grabbing her back and Osaka jubilantly waving. "Heh, you win this time kid, but next time, I guarantee you'll lose." Tomo dropped the knife onto the floor, which was put away by Chiyo, and fell to the ground, acting as if she was unconscious.

"Drama queen…" muttered Kagura.
