Tales of Love at Magical Land
It was a nice, Summer Saturday morning in Japan. It was a day that
seemed to be made for having fun, and that was exactly what two High
School Girls were looking to do.
Koyomi Mizuhara, or Yomi, as her friends called her, had invited her
best friend, Tomo Takino, to go to the Amusement Park on this fine
Summer Day. But not just any amusement Park, no, nothing like that. Yomi
had a special place in mind. Magical Land, THE Amusement Park to Yomi.
Magical Land was the Amusement Park that Yomi never got to go to the
first time when her friends went because she fell sick. However, she got
to go when the 6 of them celebrated getting into College, and she had
loved every minute.
That was why Yomi chose this place to go to with Tomo on this day; It
was special to her. It was a special place for something special Yomi
had planned. Also, it was why she had invited Tomo and only Tomo. She
had convinced Tomo that all of the others were busy and couldn't go, so
it was going to be just the two of them. Fact of the matter was, she had
lied. Yomi wanted it to be just the two of them. As said before, she had
something special planned today.
It was 9 AM when Tomo's Cell Phone Alarm went off. She had just an hour
to get up and get ready before she had to meet Yomi at the Train
Station, since they were going to take the Bullet Train to Magical Land.
Tomo, realizing that she had slept in again, hastily got up and got
dressed. She clad herself in her Purple Tube Top and Blue Jeans. After
running down and grabbing a quick breakfast, she slipped her shoes on
and headed out the door, and began the walk to the Train Station.
Meanwhile, Yomi had been up since 6 AM, 3 Hours prior to Tomo's
awakening, preparing for this. She had showered twice, modelled about 15
different outfits in the mirror, trying to find the one that looked just
perfect, brushed her teeth three times, and weighed herself twice. She
knew she was being paranoid, but she couldn't help it. She wanted this
to be just perfect. It had to be, Yomi had convinced herself of that.
She had made herself believe that this was going to be the day that
everything became right in her life, and she was confident. However, she
also knew, in the back of her mind, that things could go horribly wrong.
She knew, thoguh she tried to pretend she didn't, that there was the
small possibility that she would do nothing but embarrass herself and
lose her best friend. Either way, she was nervous as hell.
Eventually, in what seemed like an eternity to Yomi, it was time for her
to leave. She tied her shoes and ran out the door, wanting to get to the
train station as fast as she could. It was 9:50, and she wanted to be
there waiting if Tomo got their early.
Yomi had thought about what she was going to do over and over again in
her head, and every last step as to how it was going to work out. Over
and over again she replayed the scenario in her mind, making sure
everything was going to go just right, and correcting even the slightest
error that she felt would occur in her plan. It was perfect, she
thought. It was absoultly perfect. As she was running, Yomi grinned to
herself, just thinking about it made her happy, and what made her even
more happy; the fact that she knew that she had perfected her plan so
that nothing would go wrong. It was going to happen, she thought, it was
absolutly going to happen. She continues her run to the Train Station
with complete confidence in what she could do.
By the time Yomi got to the Train Station it was 10:15. She was already
late, she thought, and Tomo would be pissed. But Yomi should have known
better than to worry about something like that, for it was another 10
Minutes before Tomo showed up. When she came, it was Yomi who was
irritated.
"What took you so long?" Yomi asked with a bit of scorn in her voice.
"I've been here since 10:15."
"Sorry..." Tomo replied in an unusual serious tone, before doing her
giggle then boasting. "But from what you say, it doesn't seem like you
were here on time either." Yomi sighed.
"No, I wasn't..." Leave it to Tomo to point out someone elses
misfortunes as opposed to her own. "Well, all that aside, Tomo, the
train'll be here in a few minutes. We should-" Yomi was inturuppted by a
voice over the Station Intercom.
"The bullet train bound for Magical Land is now arriving at Platform 6.
Please board immediatly." The voice of a middle aged Male rang over the
Intercom. Then as quickly as it was there, it was gone. Yomi now smiled
as she spoke.
"Well, that's our cue, let's go."
"I can beat you there, Miss Chunky Pony." Tomo said in an arrogant voice
as she broke off in a dead run for their platform, which was only about
100 Feet away.
"We'll see about that!" Yomi shouted as she ran after Tomo. She quickly
caught up with Tomo, who, though she had all the energy in the world,
was probably one of the worst conditioned high schoolers in Japan,
partly because she wasn't really the excersice type. They both reached
the train at the same time, and were the last ones on before the Train
departed; aparently alot of people had Magical Land on their minds, as
the Train was packed, and the girls had to scrunch up to be able to sit
beside each other. For the next hour, the argued about who had gotten to
the train first, and some random stuff too. Yomi was willing to put up
with Tomo today. She had so much on her mind, it didn't matter.
An hour later, at roughly 11:30 AM, the train stopped at the station
just outside of Magical Land, and Yomi was staring out the window at the
omnious Roller Coasters and Ferris Wheel's and other attractions that
could be seen from a Distance, cut off by a giant billboard which read
'Welcome to Magical Land' in giant letters. She had been looking out
that window ever since Magical Land had become visible on the Horizon;
This was possibly Yomi's favorite place to go, and she had't been since
her and her friends had all gone to celebrate getting into College, and
that had been over a Year ago. But there was also another reason she was
so anxious to be here, and Yomi did not lose sight of that goal.
"HEY YOMI!" Yomi's train of though was inturuppted by Tomo yelling in
her high pitched voice. When Yomi looked for the source of that voice,
she saw that Tomo was already waiting at the entrance gate. "Come on!"
Tomo continued to yell. "You've been talking about this trip to me for
weeks! Do you want to actually go in or not?"
"I'm coming! Hold your horses!" Yomi yelled back. She jogged up to where
Tomo was standing.
"You got the tickets, right?" Tomo inquired.
"Yeah, right here. I go 'em in my pocket." Yomi replied as she reached
her hand down into her Jeans pocket. She searched around but nothing was
there. Cocking an eyebrow, she reached into her other pocket. "They, uh,
must be in the pocket." Yomi said, a bit unsure. She was sure she had
placed them in her left pocket. A small but barely noticiable grin
crossed Tomo's face. Yomi continued to search, and started to grow more
frantic when she couldn't find them. She searched her left pocket again.
"Ugh, where are they?" Yomi couldn't believe this was happening. This
was going to be the perfect day, and now, it might be ruined at the
start. This couldn't happen.
"You mean these?" Tomo said softly with a slight laugh in her voice. As
Yomi looked up, Tomo was holding her hand out, and clinched in her fist,
were two, yellow, tickets, the tickets for Magical Land. Yomi's face
showed a look of awe, which Tomo noticed and quickly explained. "I
snatched 'em while you were staring all googley-eyed at Magical Land
from the train. You need to be on your guard, I probably could have cut
your clothes off and you wouldn't notice." Tomo started laughing. The
thought made Yomi blush, but her face quickly turned to anger and she
snatched the tickets from Tomo, who was still laughing.
"Very funny. Now let's go before we get near the back of the line." Yomi
said, walking past Tomo toward the gate, where they could still get near
the front of the line for admittance.
"You're such a child..." Tomo stated, wiping her eyes and walking up
behind Yomi.
"Oh, shut up..."
"Such a child, such a child, such a child..."
It turned out to be a great day for the Girls at Magical Land. They rode
each roller coaster in the park twice, played nearly all the games in
the Midway of the Park, ate nearly everything, took Photobooth pictures,
they did everything the park had to offer, and as they sat down to get
some more foot before they left, most of the visitors who had arrived on
the train with them that morning had already taken the 5 PM Train home.
It was 6:30 PM now, and the Girls would have to wait another half an
hour to take the 7 PM Train home. Because of this, the food court was
empty. Tomo, Yomi, and the workers at the shops, were the only ones in
the Area. Yomi knew this was it, as they sat in Chairs side by side.
"Too bad the others couldn't be here," Tomo said as she stuffed her face
full of Pizza. "This has been better than the last two times."
"Or the last time in my case." Yomi replied. She took a small lick of
her Ice Cream.
"Yeah. I was afraid you were going to sit up all night and catch a fever
again. That would have sucked for you." Tomo was being sarcastic now.
"Hey, now, I have the tickets. If that had happened, you wouldn't have
come here. Be thankful I decided not to do something like that." Yomi
spoke of this, but she dared not do anything to endanger this trip. It
was far too important to her. Tomo finished her pizza.
"Well, the exit is at the other side of the Park, we'd better get
going." Tomo said. At that moment, Yomi knew it was time. She was ready
for it.
"Okay, then let's..." Yomi started, before branching off into another
comment. "Hey, isn't that the guy that called you a Hypocrite on the
train? I thought he had already left..." Yomi pointed behind Tomo. Tomo,
who was easily gullable, looked.
"Oh? Where? I got a few things to say to that bastard!" Tomo turned
around, and to her surprise, nobody was there. She turned around. "Well,
I don't see-" That was all she could say, for when she turned around,
Yomi, who was blushing furiously, had placed her soft lips on Tomo's.
Tomo went Red and was confused, but slowly she calmed down, and closed
her eyes. After a few seconds, Yomi, who was still red as a tomato,
looked at Tomo, awaiting a response. "Y...Yomi..." Was all Tomo could
get out, and now Yomi took it upon herself to explaing herself.
"I love you." If it was possible, Yomi turned more red than she already
was, and continued. "Think abou it, Tomo. Why do you think I chose to
put up with you all those years? We were friend, but I stayed by your
side because, for as long as I can remember, I've wanted more than your
friendship. I've wanted your Love. I planned this trip half a year ahead
just for this occassion. The purpose of todays trip to Magical Land was
for me to tell you that. Now, no matter what you say, I have this off my
chest. So..." Yomi trailed off, giving Tomo room to speak. She had never
been more nervous in her life, than at that very moment, as she waited
to see how Tomo would respond to her confession.
"Y...Yomi..." Tomo still seemed lost in the kiss. Yomi feared the worst,
but after a few seconds, Tomo was able to pull herself together, and say
the four words that Yomi had been praying for her to say. The four words
that were about to make Ymoi the happiest girl alive. "I...I love you
too." Nothing else needed to be said. Their eyes told the story, and
soon their lips, as the two girls moved in for the most passionate kiss
that either of them had ever experienced. Neither of them wanted it to
end, but both knew it had to, because their parents would have been
pissed if they had missed the 7 PM Train and had to wait two hours for
the next one.
When they finally pulled apart, they looked into each others eyes, and
each girl knew that she was in love. Standing up, Yomi took Tomo by the
hand, lacing her fingers with Tomo's. They smiled a lovingly smile at
each other, then walked the lengh of Magical Land, hand in hand, back to
the Train station. The whole ride home they talked, and never let go of
each others hands. When the train got back, they walked home, switching
hands, but still holding, and walked back. When they arrived at Tomo's
house, the girls shared another deep kiss before waving goodbye as Tomo
walked into her house. Already, Yomi was thinking of what they would do
tomorrow, with the young woman she now called her Girlfriend.
Yomi smiled to herself the whole way home. It had worked. All of it had
worked. All the preperations, all the perfecting of the plan,
everything, had gone perfect, just the way she had planned. At that very
moment, just thinking about her new relationship with Tomo Takino, Yomi
was the happiest high school girl in the world.
Authors Note: My first Azumanga Daioh fanfic, and since Yomi is my
favorite Azumanga Daioh character, and Yomi x Tomo is my favorite
Azumanga pairing, I decided to fan fic it. Note, I made most of this up
off the top of my head, like, I wrote it as I thought of it. Either way,
I hope you like. Please Read and Review. :-D
