AT WINTER COMIFES, A NEW CHARACTER REALLY SUITS THE AREA!
 
 [Scene: a crowded area. Many people are moving about, chattering, etc.]
 
 Kuroi: Hey, Izumi. 
 
 Konata: What is it, Sensei?
 
 Kuroi: Why did I have to come to Comifes' hall?
 
 Konata: I wanted you to. This time Kagami and Tsukasa ran away. 
 
 Kuroi: Do you think you can use your homeroom teacher like this!? 
 (puts Konata in a hold)
 
 Konata: Wait! I'll get you something you'll like, Sensei! 
 
 Kuroi: Don't say you'll get me doujinshi!  And besides! You over there!
 You were following behind us! What's your story?
 
 Yutaka: I don't know why I was brought here. For starters, I'm in the middle of studying
 for my exams. I don't have much time to spare. 
 
 Kuroi: You even brought a jukensei here!? Izumi, youuu . . . 
 
 Konata: It's okay! This is for her study of society! 
 
 Kuroi: You're a devil. 
 
 Yui: (starts up her car) Okay, Konata! I have to get back to work! 
 Yutaka, if you start to feel bad, call me on my cell phone. 
 
 Yutaka: Okay. Thanks, oneechan. But is that really okay? 
 
 Yui: Sure. My patrol's in an area that's easy to cover. I'm on standby
 over there. 
 
 Konata: I'll count on you to take her home. 
 
 Yui: Roger that. See you later. (drives away, blaring siren) 
 
 Kuroi: (irritated) Is it okay for you to use her patrol car like a taxi? 
 
 Konata: Yuu-chan's got a weak constitution. Just in case, I thought it'd
 be good to have Yui-neechan close by.
 
 Kuroi: (puts Konata in a hold) You're adding insult to injury! 
 
 Konata: I give! I give! 
 
 Yutaka: What should I do? 
 
 [LATER] 
 
 Konata: Now that's done, I'll need Sensei to move around the outer circumference
 while I handle the center field. 
 
 Yutaka: There are so many people here. What are all of them doing? 
 
 Konata: I told you they were selling games and manga they've made themselves.
 For otaku, this is a fundamental  practice. Yu-chan, please remember this. 
 
 Yutaka: Okay. Wait, I have to remember that? 
 
 Konata: I was joking. 
 
 Patricia: (speaking with an accent) No! This is not something we can forgive. 

 Kuroi: What's this?
 
 Yutaka: Wow, even foreigners are here. 
 
 Konata: Well, foreigners are still rare. Why is she over there screaming? 
 
 Patricia: No, it's no good! This coupling will not work, no matter how I think 
 about it,  no no no, it's wrong! 
 
 Konata: Oh, it's a coupling problem. 
 
 Yutaka: Is this going to turn into a fight? We need to stop them!

 Konata: But this is a personal problem for them. We probably shouldn't say 
 anything. Plus things could get bad if we say something. 
 
 (Patty rushes over)

 Konata: And now she's here! 
 
 Patricia: Like I was saying! The uke and seme characters, and 
 boizu - nyaaaah.

 Konata: It doesn't match the genre. 

 Yutaka: Ummm . . . 

 Patricia: Yes?  Do you feel the same way? 
 
 Yutaka: I don't understand this at all. 
 
 Patricia: What? 
 
 Yutaka: But fighting is bad. 
 
 Patricia: It's not a fight! I'm just telling these people how coupling works! 
 
 Konata: Okay, calm down. 
 
 Patricia: What are you? 
 
 Konata: Maybe I'm being nosy. But people have lots of individual taste when it comes to 
 coupling. You might have more fun trying to find stuff that fits your preferences. 
 
 Yutaka: That's right. 
 
 Patricia: I see. You do have a point there. Would you help me find some works that fit my 
 tastes? Thank you, thank you, thank you! 
 
 Konata: There are still many things I need to get. 
 
 Patricia: I'm Patricia. Patricia Martin.  Call me Patty.
 
 Yutaka: I am Kobayaka Yutaka. Please regard me favorably! 
 
 Konata: I'm Izumi Konata. 
 
 Patricia: You take it and Koh nah ta, right? Although we're from different countries, we're
 all animation fans. Let's have fun together! 
 
 Yutaka: Animation fans? 
 
 Patricia: To say it in Japanese, otaku! 
 
 Yutaka: Oh, okay. (nervous laughter) 
 
 Konata: It feels like I've tapped the flag of an amazing character. 
 
 Patricia: Regard me favorably! 
 
 Yutaka: Otaku? Hmm. 
 
 Patricia: First, let's go to the east hall! Let's go!
 
 [LATER]
 
 Kuroi: Oh, I'm tired. (collapses)

 Konata: I'm pretty worn out too. Thank you for all your hard work, Sensei. 
 Here, have some ice candy.

 Kuroi: I'd rather have beer than ice candy right now. 

 Konata: I can't buy that. 

 Kuroi: Nothing to be done, then.  (munches) So what about that other kid? Is she all right?
 
 Konata: She's over there. 
 
 Patricia: Keep it together, You taka. The wound is shallow! 
 
 Yutaka: (stirs) I'll be fine. I'm just tired. No need to worry. 
 
 Patricia: Don't go to sleep! You'll die if you fall asleep! Death!
 
 Yutaka: That's if you go to sleep on a snowy mountain. It's not cold here. 
 It's probably all right. 
 
 Patricia: No way. You'll be swallowed up by this surging stampede of humanity. 
 
 Yutaka: Aaaack! 
 
 [A huge crowd rushes through the area. Yutaka is swept away by the wave of people. ]
 
 Patricia: Oh no! Yutaka! 
 
 Kuroi: (stirs) Whassat? I heard a noise. 
 
 Konata: I did as well. I am at a loss as to what to do.
