Where's the Rubbish Bin?
On the way home, Osaka and Tomo were drinking milk tea. They had bought it from the drink dispenser machine in school.
Osaka: -downs the last bit of tea- sssssssssssssllllllllllllllllllllllllluuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Yomi shifts her eyes uncomfortably while Chiyo focuses her attention on the streets. Tomo and Kagura stare at Osaka.
Osaka: SSSSSSSSSLLLLLLLLLLLLUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Kagura: -uncomfortably- Osaka, you're being very loud…
Tomo nods her head in agreement.
Osaka: -blank expression- ssssllllllluuuuu….sss…ssss…ssss…slu?
Tomo: You're noisy! An elegant lady doesn't slurp her drink!!! – slaps Osaka's back very hard –
Osaka: Ack! – tea squirts out from her nose and mouth – hhee…lllpp….
Sakaki: - immediately pulls out tissue paper and hands it to Chiyo-
Chiyo: Ah! Osaka-san!!! Calm down!– Passes tissue paper to Osaka frantically –
Osaka: –Cough! Cough!- dro… drowing…can't… breath…
Sakaki: -lifts her head up to the air, holds up her fists- Osaka, do this! 'hi, hi, hu… hi, hi, hu…'
Chiyo: -sweat drops- That's wrong, isn't it? That's what pregnant women does.
Tomo: - steps away from Osaka with a disgusted look – Ewwwww…. That's not lady-like…
Yomi: - slaps Tomo's head – DOES A LADY MAKES HER FRIEND CHOKE ON HER TEA?
Kagura: - slaps Tomo's shoulder – WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR? YOU'RE A DISGRACE!!!
Tomo: Ack! – spills her tea-
After ten minutes of chaos, the group continues their way home.
Osaka: -looks around- Eh….
Chiyo: What's wrong, Osaka-san? Are you alright?
Osaka: - holds up her empty cup stuffed full of used tissue paper – Where's the rubbish bin?
Sakaki: -points to a takoyaki stall- There's a rubbish bin a few steps after the stall.
Osaka: -impressed- Wow! You sure can see far!!!
Tomo: - puts on a smirk- Ha ha! Sakaki is tall enough to see much more than us!
Kagura: - distastefully – Why are you acting so smug? You're not the tall one. Sakaki happens to mature faster than us.
Kagura notices Tomo staring at Sakaki. She looks at Sakaki from head to chest… and stops there. Embarrassed, Sakaki looks away. The group stops in front of the rubbish bin and Osaka throws away the rubbish.
Yomi: Come to think of it –looks at Tomo suspiciously- Where's your rubbish?
Tomo: -looks at Yomi questioningly- Huh? –breaks into laughter- Ha ha ha ha ha! What are you talking about?
Yomi: -raises her eyebrow- I'm talking about your empty cup! And the pieces of used tissue! Where is it?
Tomo: -keeps the bright smile on her face, but no longer laughing- … I dumped it…
Chiyo: Eh? Was there a rubbish bin back there?
Tomo: -bright smile fading- No… I dumped it…
Kagura: -slaps Tomo's shoulder- Did you just litter on the street?
Tomo: - nods her head as the last remains of her bright smile fades away –
Yomi: -sighs- Tomo…
Osaka: -stares at her in very dramatised horror-
Tomo: -empty smile mould on her face- … is it wrong? I shouldn't have dumped it? –stares at group with puppy eyes-
Kagura: -looks away uncomfortably- Er… to say it's wrong… well, you needed to dump it… maybe it's not so wrong…
Yomi: -sternly- Tomo, it's ethically wrong to litter. You'll be dirtying the streets. It's socially irresponsible.
Tomo: -looks extremely guilty and depressed-
Chiyo: -consolingly- But since we're already so far away, let's just forget about it, right, Sakaki-san?
Sakaki: -nods her head- As long as you don't litter again, everything will be fine.
Tomo: -on the verge of tears, chin trembling. She tugs Yomi's sleeve- Yooommmiiii... I... dropped my... Ayu Special waaaaay back there... Return there together with me...
Yomi: -sarcastically- You don't have any Ayu Special. What is that, anyway? -softens and sighs- Chiyo and Sakaki are right. Just learn your lesson and stop littering.
Tomo: -brightens up and smiles-
Osaka: - shakes her head darkly - It's not over yet. Every night, an undercover would go around the streets picking litter. He finds the owner who littered just by smelling it. Then, just before dawn breaks, the man would be in the litterbug's house… and kills him.
Kagura: -suspiciously- Don't tell me you were holding on to the cup because of that reason.
Osaka: -turns her head to Kagura slowly and creepily- Yes...
The group stares at her dumbfounded.
Tomo: -monotonous robotic laughter- Ha ha ha! How could you find someone just by smelling the litter?
Everyone laughs along, not noticing the Tomo's uneasiness.
Chiyo: Ha ha! Yes! Unless the man has a dog who does the sniffing! Like Tadakichi-san!!!
Everyone continues to laugh. Soon, the group reaches the intersection and went separate ways. Later in the middle of the night, Tomo knocks on Yomi's bedroom window.
Yomi: -walks to the window sleepily and opens it-What are you doing here?
Tomo: -smiles creepily and tugs Yomi's sleeve- Let's go to school, Yomi. Let's go to school, Yomi. Let's go to school, Yomi. Let's go to school, Yomi. Let's go to school, Yomi. Let's go to school, Yomi. Let's go to school, Yomi. Let's go to school, Yomi.
Yomi: -tries to pull her arm back- Now? It's not even morning!
Tomo: -holds on to Yomi's arm and cries hysterically- CHIYO IS GOING TO KILL ME ONCE TADAKICHI FINDS ME!!
Yomi: -yawns- Get a grip!
A/N: I did this when I was bored in the office with no work to do. So I hope the idea is not too weird. I had to minimize the Word window and try as much as to type the format out well. Pls R&R!!!
