Chapter 2: Of New Employees, IQ's, and… a Toyota?!
10:19 A.M. in Azumanga High School
Chiyo is telling all of her friends of her day at work yesterday while Osaka is staring intently at her IQ test.
"Wow Osaka, did you really start a fire?" Yomi asked in half amazement, half disappointment. Osaka just raised a hand to her.
"I'm taking an IQ test, and I need full focus." Osaka said in a very serious tone. Everyone gaped at her.
"Osaka? Focus? That makes as much sense as a pale Kagura!" Tomo said, bouncing in her seat. Everyone stared at Tomo. "Alright, I admit, that was a bad joke. But everyne I say can't be gold."
"None of them you say are gold…" Yomi grumbled.
Later that day, at Magnetron burger
The manager of Magnetron Burger stood near the grill. "Attention employees. We have a new worker. Her name is…" He was cut off by Osaka. "I finished the tests!" She handed him the papers.
"That was quick… Anyway, give a round of applause for our new employee. Miss Tomo Takino!" Chiyo was scared. She didn't trust Tomo near grills and deep fat fryers.
Chiyo's Mind
"Hey Chiyo, look over there!" Tomo said pointing in another direction. Chiyo looked away and Tomo grabbed her arms. Yukari ran in and grabbed Chiyo's legs. They began swinging her back and forth like they did on the class trip.
"One… Two… Three!" Yukari and Tomo threw Chiyo into a huge pool of bubbling grease.
End Chiyo's Thoughts
Tears began running from Chiyo's eyes. "What's wrong, Chiyo-Chan?" Osaka asked. Tomo burst through the door and Chiyo screamed, entering back into her painful thoughts.
"Tomo Takino, reporting for duty!" She began running around the kitchen, astonished at her surroundings. "Whoa, holy freaking crap, look at the size of this oven! I could fit Chiyo-Chan in it!" After Tomo said this, Chiyo fainted.
About 10 minutes later…
Tomo was already slacking off. She was playing her Nintendo DS in the corner. A male worker walked up to her.
"Erm, Tomo-San, shouldn't you be working?" He asked. "Shut up! I'm on break! Go away, damn it!" Tomo yelled, not even looking back. The worker tried to get it out of her hands. Tomo suddenly began thrashing all around "Let go!" The worker gave up. "Fine." He let go and it went flying. Flying and flying and…
Sploosh! The DS landed in a basket of fries, which was soon dipped into grease. Both the worker who was fighting with Tomo and the guy making the fries developed a scared look on their faces.
Out of nowhere, the song "One Winged Angel" began playing in the background. Tomo's eyes turned into flames, her head rotated all the way around, and she pounced.
"Where's that music coming from?" Osaka asked herself, walking past a huge cloud of dust with screams coming out of it. The two men emerged from the dust, bloodied and missing a few fingers. Tomo went back to slacking.
A week later, Osaka was standing at the manager's door. She knocked on the door and walked in. "Hello there. I was wondering if you had the results of my IQ test. I don't know why, but I'm very anxious."
The manager sat in his chair with his mouth gaping in a fashion that reminded Osaka of Kimura. "I-I can't believe it." He said. He handed Osaka her evaluation and score. She blankly looked at it. "15?"
The manager sweatdropped. "No, that's the amount of categories. Look at this number." He pointed to another number. She stared at the number for a few moments. "… 194? Is that good?"
"GOOD?!" The manager burst out, jumping up, startling Osaka. "You are a genius!" Osaka looked at him, shocked. "Genius? Wow. That's the first time I ever heard that." She took the results and skipped out of the office. The manager watched her. "Wow… I think she deserves a promotion, despite almost burning down the restaurant."
Some days later…
Tomo casually walked down the street, when she realized she was late for work. She didn't panic, turned around and began walking toward work, which was about 5 miles away. She noticed, outside of a store across a street, was a wrecked, silver Toyota Corolla. A familiar face walked out of the store.
"Hey, Yukari!" Tomo yelled, getting her attention. "Can you give me a ride?" Yukari, who was in a good mood, obliged. Tomo jumped into shotgun. "Yay! Yukari!"
Yukari manically smiled and put the pedal to the medal. On the way to Magnetron Burger, she ran over a fruit stand, drove on the wrong lane (a lot,) drove through a construction zone and sprayed tar into the air.
They finally got to Magnetron Burger. Yukari tried to slam the brakes but missed.
Crash! A horrible sound boomed as Yukari's car crashed through the wall. Bricks fell and dented Yukari's car even more. She was partially parked on an elderly lady. Tomo jumped out happily. "Thanks Yukari!" Yukari smiled and tried to back out, but the car wouldn't do anything. The cops soon came.
Yukari waved at the officers casually. "What seems to be the problem, officers?" Yukari was yanked out of the car and apprehended. The manager approached Tomo with a vein pulsing out of his head.
"TAKINO! YOU KNOW THAT WOMAN?!" The manager shrieked at her. "Yeah! She's Yukari! I was late to work, so I got a ride from her." Tomo explained to him as if nothing happened. The manager looked like his head was going to explode.
"YOU FUCKING IDIOT YOU AREN'T WORKING TODAY. YOU CAUSED ALL THIS DAMAGE FOR NOTHING!" The manager screamed at the top of his lungs.
Tomo's eyes shrank. "Oh… Really?"
