It's an Azumanga marathon.

  Nosferatu, the occult powers, and aliens.... I'd heard
and read about them all, but I had thought they were just

'things' seems bland. I recommend something a little creepier.

 from ghost stories, meant to scare us. But now I
know that they must exist.

  A dear friend of mine is under their control. Somehow,
she succumbed to their wiles and became their slave.

Right here I had this pegged as Osaka refering to her dream of Chiyo. Good
choice to go with this.

 To
most people, she appears to act normal, but when I look
into her eyes, all I can see is emptiness. She moves and
speaks with an intelligence that is not her own.

Actually I assume she's referring to Chiyo, or is it Tomo, like Gin said?


  I have dreamt--or perhaps better said, seen in visions--

No. They're dream, Osaka. Now I'm sure Sakaki was having visions in
reference to Chiyo's dad being a cat, though. :)

how they are manipulating her. They sit upon her head,
visible yet hidden, demanding her total obedience and
forcing their dark power to course through her veins.
Indeed, under their influence, I have even seen her fly.
Who knows what else she may be capable of?

Incredible acts of brilliance far beyond those of other eleven year olds. :)


  If there's one thing about aliens, ghosts, or whatever
force binds

think it should be 'force that binds'

 her, there is almost certainly a wicked plot
behind it, the scale of which I can only begin to fathom.
If someone as bright as her can fall to them, how much
longer will it be before others follow? If an invasion
or infestation is what they have in mind, we may not have
much time left.

  Saving her may not be easy. That which throttles her
psyche may decide to fight back, possibly killing her or
me in the process.

* DB envisions in evil ponytail attacking him*

Heh.

Still, I believe that they

and here I think you can remove 'that'

 can be
removed. It may have been in a vision, but I saw it done.
They cannot both be dealt with at the same time, at risk
of harming my poor friend. But was it the one on the
right, or on the left, which must be taken care of first?

What if they switch to confuse you, Osaka? :)


  Curse my memory! I fear that if this goes on much longer,
there will be nothing left I can do for her, but if I act
improperly, the outcome may be the same.

Especially since Sakaki acts as her protector. Hmm. It was the cat in the
dream that told Sakaki that. I wonder if the he's the leader of the Ponytail
Aliens and recruited the most powerful girl around to serve as Chiyo's
guardian.

See? You can make anything  seem sinsiter.


  Those two monsters have to be stopped.

  And I have to stop them.

    --An excerpt from the diaries of Kasuga Ayumu

I admit I sometimes grow confused with Kagura and Kasuga 'Osaka'. Names too
much alike for me


-------------------------------------------

  "Osaka-san, quit tugging on my ponytails!"

Tomo: Yeah! That's my job.


race, it has to be done!"

  "Hey, what are you doing with those scissors--AAAH!"

make the 'Ahh' after the snipping.


  *SCHHNIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP!* *SCHNIIIIIP!*

  "OSAKA-SAAAAAN!!!"

  "This is very bad. Their eggs are gone but so are they!
They must have hidden inside your head now! Don't worry.
I'll get them out for you!"

Osaka: I'll get an eye dropper and flood them out. Lower your head and turn
it so I can pour the water in your ear.


^_^ Fin... Or was that Flipper? I can never remember. ^_^

Icy the Penguin, actually, since Chiyo dressed as one.




It had to be a short story, otherwise, I'd have shown the
bits where the ponytails start taking over the entire
school and where the Chiyo-pods are maturing. :D

Agree.


And Osaka's not delusional! She's just... better prepared
than the rest of 'em.

That's what they all say. And of course, they are right. :)
