Note: The restaurant that Yomi, Tomo, and Koyomiko go to is "Fancy!! Restaurant", the same one that Joe proposed to Sakaki in Chapter 47 of 'Azumanga Daioh Returns'

…

Yomi, Tomo, and Koyomiko have all gone out to dinner at "Fancy!! Restaurant"

"Wow, this was really nice of you to bring me out here…" Tomo said.

"Nah, I don't mind, really…" Yomi said.

Tomo didn't pick up on it, but Yomi had something in her voice that said she was planning something…

…

"So, what'll it be?" Rei asked.

"I'll have the most expensive thing on the menu with a drink with lots of caffeine and sugar in it!! It's all on her tonight!!" Tomo said, pointing to Yomi at that last part.

Now, normally, Yomi would have scorned Tomo for ordering such expensive food. But tonight, she was going to let it slide.

"And for me, I'll have the Matsusaka beef with just a cup of tea." Yomi said.

The two mothers stared at Koyomiko (who was sitting on Yomi's side of the table), who was staring at the menu with a determined look on her face.

Moments pass, and Koyomiko still hasn't made up her mind. Rei's eye is twitching madly, and she's about ready to break out yelling.

"Hm…" Koyomiko finally said. "Kaa-san, what would you recommend?"

Anything, just get me out of this mess!! Rei thought.

"I would recommend getting what I'm getting, and that would be the Matsusaka beef." Yomi said to Koyomiko. (Yomi had retained her cool throughout this entire thing)

"OK, then I'll have the Masaka beef, with some lemonade!" Koyomiko announced to Rei.

"It's Matsusaka beef." Rei grumbled.

"That's what I said. Masaka beef!" Koyomiko said.

Rei sighed. She hoped they tipped big…

"OK, then, I'll be back with your orders…" Rei said. And she left to go talk to one of the cooks in the kitchen.

But on the way…

"Psst! Hey!" someone from the shadows called.

"Hm?" Rei said. "Oh, it's you…It's been a while…"

"Yes, it has" the man said. "Listen, I need a favor."

"You gonna tip big on this one, too?" Rei asked with an evil smile.

"Though not as big, you only have to split this between you and the cook." The man said. "Are you up for something positively evil?"

Rei gave off such an evil smile. "Evil is my specialty…"

…
Cooking time later
…

Rei came walking back out, all three orders of food in arm.

"Ok, three orders of Matsusaka beef, and drinks." Rei said. "And a complementary rice bowl for ordering specially." and she put the bowl of rice in front of Tomo.

"Specially?" Tomo asked.

"Well, yeah. Rather than asking for something by name, you asked for 'the most expensive thing on the menu'" Rei said, as if it was common knowledge.

"Oh." Tomo said. Hey, if it was free, she wasn't about to turn it down.

Rei bowed, and left.

The Takino-Mizuhara family said "Itadakimasu!" and started eating. Tomo didn't even notice one man, that same man that had talked to Rei just moments ago, sneak up and sit at the table right behind her.

"Ah, Tomo, Yomi, Koyomiko, how very nice to see you." the man said.

"Ah, Joe-san! What are you doing here?" Koyomiko asked happily.

"Oh, I was just running through some old memories of this place. I proposed to Tanaka here, you know." Joe said, smiling as he looked back at the table.

Tomo couldn't help but smile evilly.

"As I recall, she believed me when I told her you were gay." Tomo said, laughing evilly.

"Hm…" Joe said. Though he hated Tomo for it, right now, he wasn't mad. Things had already been planned out perfectly.

"Well, that was excellent beef, now moving on to the complementary rice!" Tomo said.

Joe gasped. "Why, 'I' never got complementary rice! Can I have some?"

Yomi smiled evilly. That line had been her contribution to the plan.

Tomo looked at him for a moment, before beginning to wolf down the rice.

Both Yomi and Joe smiled evilly, even laughing a bit evilly too. Truth be told, Yomi had no idea what Joe had done, but she had helped plan this.

Tomo stopped eating (with her mouth still full) staring at Joe.

"Wmf fmo fummy? (What's so funny?) " Tomo asked

Joe pointed to one of the guys in the restaurant, and he stood up, and began singing:

(Sung to "This is the night")

"What's this churning, deep inside? The need to hurl won't be denied…"

Then the entire restaurant pipped up.

"That isn't rice, that's MAGGOTS you're eating!!"

Tomo froze on the spot. She looked at her spoon.

Well, that explained why her rice was slightly brown, and had little eyes….

Tomo ran to the bathroom.

As both Joe and Yomi heard Tomo's "BLEEEEEEECK!!" Yomi put out her knuckle, and Joe pounded it.

"Mm…this is pretty good…"

Both Joe and Yomi looked down to see that Koyomiko had taken Tomo's bowl, and, without knowing what was in there, was now eating it.

The smile disappeared off of both of their faces.

Joe had to run to the bathroom to throw up. Yomi was incidently trapped, since Koyomiko had sat on the outer part of the seat.

"Koyo…miko…please…move…"Yomi said, covering her mouth with her hand.

Koyomiko moved out of the way, but who should be standing there but Rei.

"Is there something wrong, madam?" Rei asked.

BLEEEEEEECK!!!

…

And I'll leave you to figure out the rest ;)

…

Author's notes: Yeah, that was my idea for how both Joe and Yomi would get back at Tomo for some of the nasty things she's done over the years.

And then it backfired.

But that whole thing with the maggots actually came from a funny movie called 'Flushed Away'. I enjoyed it, despite it being a kid's movie.

Sometimes, I really do get my best ideas from some of those kid's movies.

Anyway, now for something else:

First up, I've gotten permission from two other people to now use some of their characters! Expect to see more coming out of this new saga of ADR!

Also, I have a new poll up on my profile. Please go out there and vote!!
