The other girls met with Tomo at the end of a raised pedestrian cross-walk.

"STOP!!" Tomo shouted at Chiyo. "Who approaches the Bridge of Tomo must answer me these Questions Three, ere the other side she see."

"Um, okay," Chiyo said.

"What!... is your name?"

"Mihama Chiyosuke."

"What!... is your quest?"

"Erm, to go to school?"

"What!... is your favorite color?"

"Blue."

Tomo stood aside. "Off you go."

Chiyo walked on, and an impatient Kagura walked up.

"STOP!!" Tomo yelled. "What!... is your name?"

"Kagura!"

"What!... is your quest?"

"To get to school on time!"

"What!... does 'I.T.' stand for?"

Kagura frowned. "Uh... aw nuts, I forget. Hey, Chiyo-chan, what did that— OUCH!!"

Tomo dope-slapped Kagura hard enough to knock her silly, and then beckoned to Osaka and Yomi.

"What!... is your name?" Tomo asked Osaka.

Osaka blinked. "Uhm..."

Yomi whispered in Osaka's ear. "Oh, right," Osaka said. "'Osaka'."

"No fair helping her, Yomi. What!... is your quest?"

"To get to the other side."

"What!... is your favorite kind of champuru?"

"Locally, or in Okinawa?" Osaka asked.

Tomo shrugged. "*I* dunno— AAUGH!!"

Kagura had put Tomo in a choke-hold. "I GOT YER 'I.T.' RIGHT HERE, YOU LOUSY ROTTEN STINKIN'—"
