The Field Trip
Following the fiasco of the opening day of Kajiura's Kindergarten, the Kalafina girls were instructed to take the children on a harmless field trip.
Yuki: Now, girls, I want you to take them someplace where no trouble will be caused.
Hikaru: Mattress factory.
*yawns*
Yuki: Err...we do want the children to have fun as well…
Keiko: Ice cream shop!
Yuki: And it should be
educational
~Keiko sulking in corner, Hikaru napping~
Wakana:The ZOO.
Yuki: ...I'm not letting you anywhere near dangerous animals.
No, today, take them somewhere quiet and respectable...like the museum!
Wakana: OH YES SURE.
Yuki: *got another sudden chill* Ahem. Well…
*ignores instincts which are screaming warning right now* Off you go, then.
And so, the Kala girls set off on the bus for a day of fun-filled education at the museum with their twenty young charges.
~Within 5 seconds of boarding the bus, Hikaru curls up on back seat and falls asleep~
Wakana: Keikoooooooooo I'm so exciteddddd!!!!
We're going to go see dinosaurs! And artefacts! And dinosars! And fossils! And dinosaurs! And…
Keiko: ahh...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
*switches off and pretends to fall asleep*
Wakana: *obliviously checks brochure* They have a Megalodon fossil on display!!!!
*squeals* *starts plotting ways to steal it*
~Ice cream truck jingles by~
Keiko : *reawakens* Is that an ice cream truck I hear?
*opens emergency door and jumps out ninja-style on top of ice cream truck*
Kids:
Bus Driver: A woman just jumped out of my bus!!!
Keiko: It's okay, I'll catch up with you guys laterrrrrr!!
*waves as ice cream truck drives off*
Kids: Wakana-sensei! Keiko-sensei just jumped off the bus!
Bus Driver:
Wakana: It's alright kids, she's experienced with this sort of thing.
Kids: *mental image of Keiko-sensei*
~and so, before they even arrive at the museum, Keiko-sensei is lost to an ice cream truck~
~twenty minutes later, they arrive at the museum~
Wakana: *runs off, completely forgot about the kids*
Hikaru: Ehhh this place is so big…
*standing awkwardly in the foyer with 20 young children* Okay, guys, you can go look at whatever you want as long you follow the signs and respect your elders. Ne? Good. I'll just be waiting right here if you need me…
*curls up on a bench and promptly falls asleep*
Children:
~meanwhile, 32 km away~
Keiko: *jumping epically from the top of one ice-cream truck to another, ninja-style*
Commuters:
*ice cream truck with ninja Keiko on top speeds past Kaori walking down the street*
Kaori: D-did I just see something weird?!
~Back at the museum~
Wakana:
Children: Wakana-sensei...the security guard is staring suspiciously at you…
Security guard:
Wakana: *being completely ob-li-vi-ous~~~ *
~~
Hikaru: Ahhhh it's too noisy with all these people around, they're disturbing my nap…
*walks into Ancient Egypt exhibit* Ehh? This looks comfy…
*climbs into empty sarcophagus on display * It even comes with a lid!
*shuts lid and falls asleep*
~~
Wakana: *runs into the fossil exhibit*
T-THIS IS -
MEGALODON!
*jumps over barrier
(Security Guard ) and glomps display*
It's so beautiful! Like in my dreams!
*continues fangirling*
Tourists: C-creepy…
*walk away quickly*
Security Guard: Hey - you there! No climbing the exhibits!
Wakana: *sudden death-glare*
Security Guard: This is bad - I must go for backup!
*hurries away*
Wakana: Chance~
*puts megalodon skull in handbag*
~squad of security guards comes running past just as Wakana leaves~
Security Guard: THE MEGALODON SKULL!
It's GONEEEE
Security Guard Captain: RELEASE THE DOGS! NO ONE PILFERS FROM THIS MUSEUM UNDER MY WATCH
Security Guards: Hai, Captain!
~meanwhile~
Yuriko: Ne, Yuuka-chan, I see an ice-cream truck! Let's get some~
Yuuka: Okay~~
Ice Cream Truck Driver: What flavour would you lovely ladies like?
Keiko: *lying on top of truck* Eaten...whole...truck...too...much...
Ice Cream Truck Driver: *opens vats* WHERE DID ALL MY ICE CREAM GO?!!!
Keiko: yahhh...time to go!
*jumps from truck to house roof and makes her getaway, leaping ninja-style from roof to roof* Thanks for the lift, oji-san~~
Yuriko: Just now, was that...
Yuuka: ...........Keiko?
Ice Cream Truck Driver:
~back at the museum~
Wakana: Ahahaha, come along kiddies, it's time to hurry back to school quickly quickly quickly~~
Children:Wakana-sensei...your handbag…
Wakana: What's wrong with it, it's just a normal handbag de-shouuuuuu~~~~
Children: Isn't it -
Wakana: DEEESHOOOUUUUU?????????
Children: H-h-hai!
*run onto safety of the bus*
Security Guards *running past* Hey you! Stop right there!
Wakana: *sweetly* Yes, is there a problem, officer~?
Security Guard: Please hand over your bag for a check
Wakana: Ehhhhh, but it's just a normal handbag~
Security Guard: You- You call that normal ?!
Wakana: Why, of course it is! It's a - uh - just a normal carry bag~
Security Guard: Ma'am, it's about a hundred times the normal size of a handbag and is bulging suspiciously in the shape of a megalodon skull...
Wakana: You're mistaken! I - uh - sometimes spontaneously go hiking for several months, so I have to keep all my hiking gear and things with me!
Security Guard: Hand over the bag.
Wakana: It - It's rude to look inside a lady's bag!
*wails*
Security Guard Captain: Officer
How could you make this woman cry?!
Security Guard: I - I - her bag - is suspicious!
Security Guard Captain: Ehhhhh…
What's your name, missy?
Wakana: Wakana desu~
Security Guard Captain: M-Massaka…
You - You're - Are you...Wakana - Wakana Ootaki- from the divine former trio of musical goddesses, KALAFINAAAAAA?!!!
Wakana: Ehh, why yes, actually I am…
Along with Hikaru and Keiko we are -
Wakana, Hikaru (in sarcophagus) and Keiko (30 miles away whilst mid-leap): *simultaneously* Kalafina deshita~
~~
Hikaru: *falls immediately back into sleep*
Keiko: *almost missed the jump from rooftop* Whoa, wonder why I suddenly did our old sign-off routine
~~
Security Guard Captain: With this, there's no doubt that you're the one and the same Wakana of Kalafina!
OMG
Just let me say, I'm A HUGE FAN~~~
*squeals* I LOVE you guys! I have all your CDs and Bly-rays at home! I listen to you for ten hours every day! Your music gave me inspiration to live life itself! And Kajiura-sama! I worship her! I have a shrine!
*eagerly pulls out photos to show*
Security Guard: Ehhhhhhhhhhhhh…
Captain….
Wakana: Oh, yes, we now work for Kajiura-sama at her kindergarten~
Security Guard Captain: Man, I do miss you guys! I hope you'll consider making a comeback! I'll follow you guys forever!
OHHHHHH by the way, could you sign this postcard?! It's my lucky Kalafina charm that I always carry with me!
Wakana: Of course~
Now I'm afraid I have to take the children home…
Security Guard Captain: *gushing over his personally signed postcard* Certainly, certainly, of course, of course! Would you like me to carry your luggage for you, Wakana-sama? It seems a little big and heavy
Wakana: ahh...you're very kind, but no thanks~
Security Guard: W-wait, captain, her bag -
Security Guard Captain: *snapping* Oi, back off - treat Wakana-sama with respect, y'hear?!
Security Guard: BUT HER BAG -
Security Guard Captain:
Security Guard: H-Hai...captain…
Wakana: *getting lifted graciously into bus by gentlemanly Security Guard Captain* Why, thank you, kind sir~
Security Guard Captain: Oh, the pleasure is all mine, Wakana-sama, all mine
*as soon as the bus leaves*
Wakana: BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I have you nooooowww...at laaaaaast...my precious……..
*sits in back seat stroking her prize*
Children:
~later in the evening after all the traumatised children went home~
*Keiko jumps in through the window*
Wakana: Oh, Kei-chan, you're back.
How was your trip?
Keiko: I ate a whole truck of ice cre-
WACCHAN.
WHAT IS THAT?!
Wakana: Eh? Oh this?
*pats* It's my new megalodon fossil skull which the museum kindly donated to me~
Keiko: D-donated, huh?
Wakana: Yes,
donated I'm going to hang it up in my bedroom, right over my bed, so it'll feel like I'm being swallowed and eaten by a megalodon in my sleep every night~~!
*sighs happily*
Keiko: A-Are you some sort of strange S-type?!
*prays Wakana doesn't volunteer her house for sleepovers in the future* By the way...
Where's Hikaru?
Wakana: Eh.
I haven't seen her since we got to the museum!
Keiko: You left Hiichan all alone at the museum?!
Wakana: The museum's already closed! What do we do?!!
Keiko: I-It'll be fine! Hikaru probably just went home by herself later
...I hope…
Wakana: Y-You're right! She'll be fine! Let's...go home!
~later that night~
*inside sarcophagus*
Hikaru: *yawns* It seems I've awakened...ehhh...where am I again?
Oh yes, it's the museum. I wonder how long I slept
Curse those people who woke me up with all their noise
*outside sarcophagus*
Night Security Guard A: H-H-H-Hey, did you hear that?!!
Night Security Guard B: What?
Night Security Guard A: Th-there was the sound of someone speaking coming from that sarcophagus!
Night Security Guard B: Ehhhh, I think you're imagining things, dude. Did you get enough sleep last night?
Night Security Guard A: N-No I'm serious! It sounded like it was...was...cursing us or something!
Night Security Guard B: Ahh, don't be ridiculous, man. That sarcophagus was always empty. I think you just need a rest.
*sudden grinding noises as the sarcophagus lid inches off with security guards watching on in petrified horror. A dark figure sits up slowly whilst groaning, from within the depths of the ancient coffin*
Hikaru: *groaning* Urrghhh feeling stiff all over…
urrrrrghhhuuuuugggahhhh
Security Guard A & B:
YYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
*runs for their lives*
Hikaru: Ara?
Why did they run away?
Ah well, better be off home to my real bed, so soft and fluffy~~
~A week later~
Yuki: *slams paper down on table* WHAT. IS. THIS.
Hikaru: Ehhhh…
*reads* "R-Restraining Order"?
Yuki: EXPLAIN. HOW. NOW.
Wakana: N-nothing happened!
Yuki: WHAT. DID. YOU. DO.
Wakana: We just...ahh nothing much...we, um, really got...
into the exhibits on display-
*glances at Hikaru*
Yuki:
Keiko: And um...afterwards we just bought a few souvenirs, that's all!
*stares at Wakana*
Wakana: Er...yah...got a really nice um...wall decoration~
Yuki:
Hikaru: And...er….the children were very much educated…
Wakana: ….riiiiiiiiiight, children? I'm sure you all
learnt something from our museum visit, DESHOU?
Children: H-HAI!
Yuki: I think...I'll go back to composing
~And so, after a short hiatus, Kalafina and FictionJunction were restored, and Yuki Kajiura once again returned to the wonderful world of music~
~end~
