HOW TO SPEND YOUR SUMMER VACATION (AN EXAMINATION)

 [Scene: The Hiiragi home. Tsukasa is currently reading a manga. She laughs.]
 
 [Kagami walks into the room.]
 
Kagami: Tsukasa, Konata will be here soon. Will you put on some tea? 
 
 Tsukasa: Sure. After I read a little bit more. 
 
 Kagami: You're getting slothful. But since it's Konata, this is probably okay.  
 Oh yeah, summer vacation is going to end soon. Did you finish your homework?
 
 Tsukasa: Oh . . . not yet. And you haven't done your homework yet either, Oneechan. 
 
 Kagami: What are you talking about? I'm done with all of it. 
 
 Tsukasa: Eh. 
 
 Kagami: What? 
 
 Tsukasa: But you've been playing with me the entire time! Whyyyy!?
 
 Kagami: I've been doing my homework at night. 
 
 Tsukasa: That's not fair! 
 
 Kagami: It's perfectly fair! And it's an obvious thing to do! 
 
 [The doorbell rings.]
 
 Kagami: Ah.
 
 [Konata enters the house.]
 
 Konata: Hello! I'm here. 
 
 Tsukasa: (tearful) Kona-chan! 
 
 Konata: What's wrong? 
 
 Kagami: This girl hasn't finished her homework. So she doesn't have any time
 to play. 
 
 Konata: Oh, I haven't done my homework yet either. 
 
 Kagami: What!? 
 
 Konata: So I came here to copy your homework. Show it to me. 
 As usual, I'll be counting on you.
 
 Kagami: So you didn't come here to play, you're only here to copy my 
 homework!? 
 
 Tsukasa: Oneechan . . . can I copy it too?
 
 Kagami: But if you both copy it, we'll be found out. 

 Konata: No problem, I can ask Miyuki to show me her homework. 
 
 Kagami: Well, where is Miyuki? 
 
 Miyuki: Excuse me. (Kagami facevaults.)
 
 Kagami: When did you get here!? (Tsukasa laughs) Konata, this is 
 exactly how you planned things! 
 
 Konata: I have to effectively use my time. 
 
 Kagami: Dang it! Why are you effectively using your time for bad things!
 
 [LATER]
 
 Konata: Ughh . . . time for a break. 
 
 Tsukasa: Even just copying makes you feel pretty tired. 
 
 Konata: Yes. 
 
 Kagami: You guys are . . . Do at least a little bit of it, as much as you can
 do! 
 
 Tsukasa: (sits up) I'll pour us some tea. (scurries off)
 
 Kagami: She ran away. 
 
 Konata: Kagami is so serious. Bringing Miyuki-san here was the right decision. 
 
 Kagami: What was right about that? You even sank your fangs into Miyuki! 
 
 Miyuki: No, I was thinking of arranging a study session with Kagami-san to make
 sure our answers matched up. 
 
 Konata: And I thought I'd take advantage of the opportunity. 
 
 Kagami: Taking advantage! And if you just copy my answers, you'll bomb the 
 test that comes right after we start school again! 
 
 Konata: That doesn't matter. I'm great at all-nighters. 
 
Kagami: This girl is . . . 
 
 [Tsukasa walks back into the room with a tray and tea pot.]
 
 Tsukasa: I brought tea and cookies. 
 
 Konata: Yippee! I love Tsukasa's cookies because they're so tasty. 
 
 Miyuki: They are nice, and so is the tea she brews. 
 
 Konata: (munches cookies, washes them down with tea) This is so different
 from studying with Kagami!
 
 Kagami: Oh. So are you going to do all of your homework yourself? 
 
 Konata: Miyuki-san, help me please. 
 
 Miyuki: Hmm? Oh, yes. I suppose I don't mind. 
 
 Kagami: (very mad, hits Konata) I want you to realize what you're doing! 
 
 Konata: (rubs her head) Oww . . .

 [Yui arrives at the Izumi house, enters, and goes to Konata's room.
 She knocks on the door and walks in.]
 
 Yui: Hey, I've come here to play. 
 
 Konata: Oh, Yui-neesan. Welcome. 
 
 Yui: You're in the middle of studying. That's unusual. I'm surprised. 
 
 Konata: Rather than studying, I've got a little bit of homework leftover. 
 Wait, since you're here, maybe you could help me with this part?
 
 Yui: Which part? 
 
 Konata: I don't understand this formula. 
 
 Yui: (gulps) 
 
 Konata: (turns pages) I don't get this one either. Yui-neesan?
 
 Yui: It wouldn't be good if I helped you, so I'm going to do a patrol. 
 
 Konata: It doesn't matter if it's good for me! I want you to teach me! 
 
 Yui: That won't work! You're relying on other people too much! 
 You won't be able to grow into an adult. 
 
 Konata: Dang it, that's a sound argument. Guess I'll have to do it. 
 
 Yui: That's right! Young people should study! But since I'm tired from
 work, I'm going to relax! 
 
 Konata: You're busy working as a policewoman. Thank you for all your efforts.
 (Yui laughs) And I'd like you to teach me this part. And this part. And basically
 all the parts I don't get. 
 
 Yui: If you don't understand them, write down answers that seem right. 
 All you have to do is turn in the homework. 
 
 Konata: Oh, that'll work. You're so smart! 
 
 Yui: No, not really. 
 
 Konata: (thinking to herself) Although that's very different from what she 
 said earlier.
