~~Tee Time~~

Azumanga urination pr0n?

Tomo turned to Yomi and the others who had gathered around her desk. "Hey
guys, we're going to play miniature golf tonight!"

"Why the heck do we have to play something I'm not good at?!" Kagura
shouted.

"So when you lose to me, I can rub your face in it," Tomo said as though

it

was the most logical thing in the world.

Makes sense.

Yomi sighed, adjusting her glasses. "No, it just means it's played on a
small course and you only use putts."

Or only use putters, and putt with them...

~~Birdie~~

Oi, Kagura, stop flipping Tomo off...

A quintet of girls lined up at the first tee at the miniature golf course,
waiting patiently with clubs and balls in hand.

*starts to say something*

...nah, too easy.

"We should start without her," Tomo suggested as she took mighty practice
swings with her club, nearly swatting all everyone around her.

Unnecessary "all" there.

Osaka suddenly appeared. She was wearing plaid pants, a fuchsia and pink
sweater, a yellow cap with a purple tassel on top, and a bore a small cup

in

her hand.

Extra "a" before "bore".

The girls' eyes bulged so wide at the sight their orbs nearly fell out of
their heads.

Awkward wording...suggest replacing "their orbs" with simply "they".

Osaka looked down at her clothing. "I told my dad I was going to play

golf,

and he bought this outfit for me. He plays golf and seemed to think you

had

to wear something like this to play."

XD

"And why do you have a cup?" Sakaki asked.

Osaka looked down at it. "You said to show up for tea time. This is my

tea.

Where's yours, or did you already drink it?"

*falls over laughing*

The rest was cut off as Tomo cried out, "Fore!" She drew as far back as

she

could with the club, then swung, hitting the ball cleanly and sending it

up

so high it nearly struck a low flying seagull.

"What the hell were you aiming at?!" Yomi shouted.

Tomo shot her a pitiful glare. "I watched some golf on television today.

The

announcers said one of the golfers won the game when he hit a birdie."

*FACEFAULT*

"But if you actually hit a bird with the ball, it still means you get that
score, right?" Tomo asked.

"No!" Yomi snatched the club out of Tomo's hands and thumped her in the

head

with it.

Ah, the traditional Stick of Enlightement.

"What are you doing? The ball was right on the edge," Chiyo called out.

Osaka said, "It was too close. I have to hit the ball in on the fourth
stroke. It says so on the scorecard."

Yep, that's typical Osaka logic.

"But I wouldn't want them to know they guessed wrong. I'd feel bad about
that. So I'll go ahead and sink it in four, just like they thought I

would."

Osaka took another swing, putting the ball back exactly where it had been
two strokes before.

"Well, she's... thoughtful," Sakaki said.

The others just sighed as Osaka sank the ball.

Heh.

It was Sakaki's turn to tee off at the next hole. She saw that this one

was

more difficult than the previous one. It had a large mechanical cat

sitting

on the top of a house. Beneath the house was a series of three holes, with

a

matching one on the far side of the tiny home. A separate path led from

each

hole, though each path ended at the same place; a large green with the

cup.

There was sand at various spots along each path that would slow or stop

the

ball altogether. To make things more difficult, the cat's paw dangled over
the edge of the house in front of the holes. It moved back and forth at
regular intervals, alternating which hole it blocked at any one time.

I *hate* those stupid things >_<

Sakaki chose the left hole. She thought she had the timing of the paw down
when she took her shot. Her timing was off, though, and the cat's paw

batted

the ball away. As it did so, it produced a delighted "Meow," at the

contact

with the ball.

Blushing, Sakaki stared at the cat in a new light. She moved up to the

ball,

which had nearly made it back to the tee from how hard the paw had struck
it. Carefully she watched the paw's pendulum-like course, then hit the

ball

toward the center hole. Again it batted the ball away, meowing as it did

so.

The tall girl repeated the action, cat batting the ball away a third and
then fourth time.

Even MECHANICAL cats are out to get poor Sakaki.... ;_;

Sakaki looked at the cat, then blushed even more. "Ah, I'd rather stay and
keep trying. You guys can play in front of me. I don't mind going last.

I'll

catch up to you later."

*SNRK*

Chiyo's stared worriedly at the next hole. This one was the most difficult

Don't need that apostrophe-s...

yet. It had the longest, most twisty path, a rotating windmill that could
block the ball's path, a narrow bridge over a stream, and the hole could
only be reached by bouncing the ball just right off a rubber bumper.

You have to wonder what kind of crack the designers of minigolf courses
abuse...

Their encouragement inspired Chiyo. "Right! I'll do it!" She pumped her

tiny

fist once. Concentrating like never before, she lined up the ball, and
swung.

The ball was hit firmly but not too powerfully. It followed the twisty

bath

to the windmill,

eliciting a shout of "EEK! PERVERTED BALL!" from the girls therein...

Tomo gave a triumphant. "Yes, I got the block just in time!"

"There is no blocking in miniature golf!" Kagura shouted.

Yomi lowered her shoulder and ran right into Tomo, knocking her off the
green and into some shrubs lining the hole.

"There is now," Yomi said satisfactorily.

*snrk*

"Ah, the object of the game is to get the lowest score," Chiyo explained
quietly.

Tomo turned on her in anger. "That's ridiculous. Whose idiotic idea was
that? Everyone knows the highest score wins in sports."

"Not in golf," Chiyo said.

The others nodded their heads in agreement.

"That's stupid!" Tomo pouted and stomped off

I get the feeling this is a setup for another gag...

"I request we switch over to a golf grading scale whereby the lowest score
is in fact the best."

"Request denied. Now sit down in your seat and if you must cry, do it
quietly. I have a hangover."

Tomo sat down and moaned, "It's not that I'm dumb, it's just that the
scoring systems are always off in relation to the points I make."

I was right. ^_^

[End notes] And here endth the fic. Like I said, not one of my stronger
efforts, but there's so little Azumanga fanfiction out there, I didn't

think

a weaker one would hurt it.

It was cute. Good work. ^_^
