Alright, hello everybody! I just recently watched/read K-ON, and I've been wanting to write a fanfiction for it, so here it is. As you might tell from the name, this is a sort of fish-out-of-water story, and it does have two OC's in it, so if that's not your thing, then I wouldn't suggest reading it. Obviously, I don't own K-ON.

Azusa sat at the club table, accompanied by Okudo-chan and Sumire, the latter of whom was serving tea to the other two. Ui and Jun both had cleaning duties, and so were not there, but they were currently on Azusa's mind. The three seniors were graduating soon, and Azusa wanted to treat those that had helped her keep the club going with a graduation trip, much like the four previous seniors had done last year.

The issue that had Azusa humming and hawing, however, was the lack of funds in the club's possession. They had all been used to provide instruments for the band members that did not have any themselves. As such, the club had no money to fund such a trip as the last year's trip to Europe, but that was not going to stop Azusa from giving her friends the best graduation possible. The only possible course of action, it seemed, would require Azusa to swallow her pride, and call Mugi-senpai, and see if perhaps she could help them out. Azusa knew she would then be in debt to the older girl, but the happiness of her friends would be worth it in the end.

Her contemplation was quickly interrupted when Ui and Jun entered the music room, Ui carrying a box of sweets and Jun attempting to intercept them for first choice, before they could be served to the others. Azusa smiled, before bringing the matter to their attention.

"As we all know, graduation will be in only one week, so, if we want to go anywhere on a graduation trip, we need to decide now where we would like to go." She stated matter-of-factly. Ui and Jun's looks of excitement where in perfect contrast to the slight disappointment on the faces of Okudo and Saito. Well, mostly Saito's face, as Okudo maintained her usual poker-face expression. Azusa, not one to be oblivious to the feelings of others, quickly caught on to what the two underclassmen were thinking, and pacified them.

"Don't look like that, Sumire, you two are coming too. Last year, I went with Afterschool Tea Time to Europe, on their graduation trip." Azusa assured the two freshman that they would not be excluded, and their instantly lifted. Having taken care of that, she turned away from them to face her fellow seniors. "Now, where do we want to go?"

Jun immediatly shot up from where she had been sitting and munching on a pastry, and placed both her hands on the table. "America!" She cried, not bothering to give a reason for her preference. Exasperated with her spastic friend's antics, the club president sighed.

"What about you, Ui? Any place in particular that you want to go?"

Delicately placing down the cup of tea she was sipping on, Ui contemplated for a moment before answering. "I'll be happy wherever we go, as long as we're all together." Ui replied diplomatically. Azusa sighed again, realizing that she should have expected such an answer from the soft-spoken girl.

Eyeing the two freshman, Azusa didn't even have to ask the question before it was answered, as Okudo-chan bowed slightly and spoke. "As it is a trip for the graduating students, and we would simply be coming along, we do not believe it is appropriate for us to decide such a major component of the trip."

Nodding, Azusa turned to face Ton-chan, wondering if they could somehow use him to once again decide for them. The problem with that method, however, was that the last time they relied on him, there had been four suggestions, whereas this time, there was only Jun's suggestion to travel to America. Though, now that Azusa thought about it, it was not a bad suggestion. The only language any of them spoke besides Japanese was English, and the club had already traveled to Europe last year. Plus, the west coast of America was just across the Pacific ocean, so the flight would be just shorter than a flight to Europe. Turning away from Ton-chan to once again face the entire group, Azusa made her declaration.

"Alright, Jun, it seems you are the majority, so we will go with your suggestion. This year, the Light Music Club is going to America!"

At Azusa's exclamation, Jun leaned over and whispered in Ui's ear, though she made sure to speak loud enough for everyone to hear, "Wow, it seems like Azusa is really getting into this. Do you think she's just using the club as an excuse to go traveling? How scandalous!" The rest of the girls dissolved into giggles, while Azusa reached over an bopped Jun on the head.


Two days had passed since the Light Music Club had made their decision to travel to America, and Azusa, sitting alone in the music room, was getting nervous. She had not yet contacted Mugi-senpai, as she would feel bad asking for such a large favor, but at the same time, Azusa had gotten rapped up in the moment two days ago, and had promised the club that they would go on a trip. Not wanting to disappoint her friends, and silently cursing herself for putting herself in this position, Azusa steeled her nerves and pulled out her phone, and shuffled through contacts until she reached the familiar name. Gulping, she pressed dial and put the phone up to her ear.

The phone rang three times before Azusa heard a quiet beep, and her senpai's voice greeting her. Azusa greeted her older friend, and inquired as to how she was doing in college. After Mugi-senpai had informed her about the daily going-ons of herself and her three friends, Azusa decided to cut to chase, seeing no point in beating around the bush. After explaining the situation, Azusa held her breath, hoping that Mugi-senpai would not think poorly of her for asking such a large favor. A moment of silence, which nearly gave Azusa a heart-attack, met her. A moment later, however, there was a quiet confirmation that Mugi-senpai would see what she could do, and Azusa let her breath out, relieved that her promise to the Light Music Club could be delivered. her next intake of breath, however, hitched in her throat, when Mugi-senpai asked a question that had implications that Azusa had not considered.

"When are we going?"

Panicking for a moment, Azusa had to calm herself. Considering for a moment, she quickly conveyed the date they had planned to leave. Mugi-senpai's cheerful farewell was met with a weak goodbye.

Azusa placed her phone back in her pocket, and stood for a moment, her mind racing. While it was far from the worst thing that could happen, Azusa was not expecting for the four graduated Light Music Club members to accompany them on the trip. However, it would be far too awkward for her to tell Mugi-senpai that she could not come, after asking her to fund the trip. So, it seemed that the trip for five was now a trip for nine. Azusa sighed, preparing herself for the task of planning the trip.
