DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN LUCKY STAR. IT'S KAGAMI YOSHIMIZU'S PROPERTY. THIS IS A FANFICTION.

Note: The part in bold is actual English. The part in italics is Hiyori's failed attempt at English. 'Moshi, moshi' means something like 'Hello' in Japanese. Enjoy!

Minami, Yutaka and Hiyori walked down the street, heading to Patricia's apartment. The three friends would meet up with the American at her home, right after she got out of her work at the cosplay café. Hiyori guided Minami and Yutaka, since she was the only one who had already visited Patty several times before.

"Are you sure it's ok to visit Patty-chan without her being there, Tamura-san?" Asked Yutaka, who was a bit uneasy with that whole story.

"Oh, yeah, don't worry about it! I called Patty and she told me to make ourselves at home. She won't be long." Answered Hiyori with a smile. Yutaka looked at Minami, who just nodded.

After walking a few more steps, the group finally arrived at a small apartment. According to Patricia, her dormitory's number was 223, one of the only apartments on the building that wasn't shared with another person. Yutaka and Minami looked up, amazed.

"So Patty-chan lives here alone?" Asked Yutaka. Hiyori nodded, grabbing a key from her pocket.

"Yep. This way." She led the two girls to Patty's dorm. Once they got there, Hiyori spoke up.

"You'll want to back off a little."

Yutaka wanted to ask why, but Minami, already sensing some kind of danger, pulled her gently to her side. Hiyori turned the key and right after the door opened, a pile of dresses came crashing down on the hallway. Minami and Yutaka sweatdropped.

"Oh, man… Today there's even more than last week!" Moaned Hiyori, picking up the dresses from the floor and making way for them to enter. The three girls managed to get inside after walking through a jungle of clothes, and Yutaka had to ask:

"Tamura-san, what are all of these dresses? I didn't know that Patty-chan had a collection…"

Hiyori adjusted her glasses, laughing nervously.

"Actually, these are not dresses. Patty uses them for cosplaying at the café."

The two non-otakus widened their eyes a little bit. Minami looked around, noticing that most of the clothes would probably look flat on her. She lifted one hand automatically to her chest.

"Ok, then… Well, Patty should be here in a couple of minutes, so…"

Suddenly the phone rang. The girls looked at each other, and then turned to the device.

"It's probably Patty…" Said Hiyori, picking up the phone. "Moshi, moshi?"

"Hello, Patty?" The voice at the other end of the line said that in English. Hiyori turned pale.

Oh, crap!

"Erhm… No, no! P-Patty isu… Eh…"

C'mon, working, working!

"Patty isu warukingu…!" Stuttered the girl. Her japanese accent was horrible. She cursed herself for not paying attention to English class when she had the chance. Even so, somehow, the person seemed to understand.

"Walking? She was supposed to be working! That slacker… So she keeps being irresponsible even when we let her live alone, huh? Oh, she's soo dead! Just wait till mom goes there to visit. I'll be laughing my ass off then. I told her, I really did. Patty is not responsible enough to be living in a foreign country, but did she listen to me? Noooo! That's it; she's leaving Japan forever then!"

And with that, the person hung up.

Hiyori was paralyzed. She didn't understand a single thing the person had replied, but just for her voice tone, she figured that whatever it was, it wasn't good. Hiyori put the phone down and turned to her friends, with blank eyes and a twitching smile.

"I think… I screwed up big time… with Patty… Heh."

REAL FACT: When my grandfather had to move to Canada for work, my grandma traveled along with him. One day some important guy from his work called, and my grandma was home. The guy asked her about grandpa, and with her worse-than-Konata's English, she said something like "he's wolking", instead of 'working'. Poor grandpa.
