Hey everyone, what's up?
Anyways, I don't own K-ON or anything in this.
If I did, would I need to write a fanfic? No, let's use our heads people.
Yeah, don't own K-ON, or it's characters, or it's songs. Don't own any other music mentioned or used in this either. Unless of course I make it up, in which case I will let you know.
This is an alternate universe, because it's more fun to make a story like clay in my hands. Free for me to mold how I like, but still has some stability in which I build off of. B-)
Slight OC, and some OOC's.
This is also set in some random place I made up, still on Earth, just not really Japan or the USA.

"Hey, hey, we'll be young forever!" A brown haired person shouted. "We'll be young forever, until forever stops!"
"We're singing, hey, hey!" A black haired boy, amount an inch taller than the brown haired person. sang/ yelled, holding onto the brown haired persons shoulder.
"We'll be young forever!" the brown haired person sang.
"Tonight we'll run forever!" The black haired boy continued.
"Till our bodies drop!" both shouted, pointing to the sidewalk they were walking on.
"Aye, aye, Ritsu, Akahiko, why are you both so loud? This is the last time I take you to a party." A light brown haired boy, with similar features as the black haired boy, sighed.
"Oh? But we're not even there yet." Ritsu, the brown haired person, stated. "And how would you get into this party without your band?"
"You're too uptight, Akahiro!" Akahiko complained.
"You're too loose," Akahiro responded.
"Pou, this way you'll be single for the rest of your life." Akahiko pouted.
"I hate that noise you make." Akahiro simply said.
"Pou?"
"Yes."
"Hmph… just don't expect me to take you in when we're older. I want to enjoy my life with my wife and children." Akahiko said, putting his hands behind his head.
"I won't need to," Akahiro said. "I plan on having a stable job."
"No you don't!" Akahiko said, suddenly angered.
"That's right!" Ritsu shouted. "The band lives forever!"
"That's a pretty stable job… if we're successful." Akahiro said, putting his hands in his pocket to protect them from the cold. Suddenly he looked startled, as Akahiko and Ritsu stared at him with love.
"W-what?" he asked, turning a bit red.
"You wanna be with us forever!" Akahiko shouted, glomping him.
"Get off of me! We probably look gay!" Akahiro grumbled.
"But brother!"
"GET. OFF. OF. ME." Akahiro said, angered. Akahiko let go quickly, giving him a sheepish grin.
"Pou, forgive me younger brother." He said, putting his hands together in a pleading way.
"Where's Kobscene?" Ritsu asked. "If he doesn't show up, I gotta play the drums. Not that I mind."
"No, no, I think it'd be better if you sang." Akahiro said.
"Yeah, you don't seem like it, but you're actually a good singer." Akahiko said. "Pou, you're pretty popular with the ladies too."
"Gee, that'd be great, but I'm a girl too…" Ritsu sighed. "How'd I end up in this situation… oh yeah, I remember…"
Ritsu sighed deeply.

It was close to the end of the concert they were playing. Ritsu was sweaty from banging on her drums for so long, and incredibly thirsty. She had also made the mistake of filling her water bottle with Gatorade and vodka. She was feeling tipsy, although it didn't effect her playing. In fact it made her play better.
But it affected her judgment.
The time was around 10:30 p.m. The crowd didn't seem ready to stop any time soon. Their band, The Scientists[1], was only moderately famous, so the place wasn't completely packed, but enough to have a sense of accomplishment. The crowd roared, calling for more and more songs. However, they were slowing down. The crowd only screamed during the song, or when prompted, with little noise when they stopped to drink or change, which they didn't do often. Ritsu never changed, she was quiet comfortable in what she was wearing.
Ritsu wore black skinny boys jeans, that came close to hugging her legs but left her enough room to breathe. She had on a, darker, black t-shirt that had a hand giving the peace on in neon green that fit loosely on her body. She wore bright red converses, and her trademark yellow headband. She also wore two red wrist bands, one on each.
"Thank you, everyone!" Kobscene shouted into the microphone. "We really love having everyone here! It means so much to us!"
Kobscene had dirty blonde hair. His hair flowed just so that it formed around his face, going down just to his shoulders, curling slightly in some places. His eyes were bright blue, and his smile bright white. He wore a blue headband to keep his hair out his eyes. He had light gray jeans on, and a red and blue stripped tank top that was a size to big for him. He was fairly toned, which was easily seen through his tank top. His shoes were bright blue converses.
Ko was (formerly) known as the hottest member of the group. The girls swooned over him. However, he had a vulgar mouth, and tendencies to have sex with at least two girls in every town they stayed in. And so he earned himself the nick name "Kobscene", by his band mates.
The person who took his place as the hottest member was Ritsu. And it was on this particular fateful night that changed Ritsu's life.
Ritsu sat her drums and took another swig of her, what she liked to call, "Vodkade". Then a sudden idea, or impulse, took over her. She stood up and walked over to Ko. Akahiro and Akahiko looked surprised, as they watched her walk to a clueless Ko.
Then Ritsu tapped on his shoulder.
"420-202… what?" Ko said, turning around to see who was touching him. "Ritsu?"
"Hey, Kobscene, you know how to play the drums right?" Ritsu said. Ko's eyes widened.
"Yes… why?" Ko asked, sensing Ritsu's drunkness, and expecting the worse.
"Go play." Ritsu said simply. " I wanna sing."
"Wha-"
"Please?" Ritsu pouted. Ko swallowed hard.
"Wa-wait, during the concert?" Ko stuttered.
"Oh c'mon," Ritsu suddenly turned to the crowd. "It might be a once in a life time opportunity. You always hear good ol' Kobscene's voice. Don't ya wanna hear mine?"
The crowd roared with new found excitement. Ritsu was the second most popular band member, usually neglected by the fact that she was simply always in the back and unnoticed.
"See?" Ritsu said, sensing her win. She also sensed the floor spinning, so she might have been off.
"Fine…" Ko said.
Nope she had won. She grinned and took the mic, as a defeated went to the drums.
"Hmm, what song to do…" Ritsu contemplated. "Well, you guys do know this band is a huge fan of The Ready Set, right? I mean we named ourselves from one of his songs. Why don't we do one of his? Let's do my favorite, Young Forever."
Ritsu smiled as the crowed shouted in agreement.
"Alright, start 'er up boys." Ritsu said, twisting the microphone cord around the hand that wasn't holding it. The boys looked unsteadily at each other, and started the song.
"We can be like prisoners, and we can be alone, we can make a mess like no one knows, and risk it on our own," Ritsu started, her voice almost naturally coming from her. She, herself, was surprised that it actually sounded pretty good. She continued singing through the song, bouncing around the stage, reaching down and touching the fans hands, running her fingers through her hair when she got hot. She enjoyed herself, a lot. Most of the crowd sung along with her, and the others who didn't still enjoyed the performance.
Finally the song ended, and she panted a bit. She looked behind her, seeing the boys stunned faces. She grinned smugly. The crowd cheered her name. She raised her hands to the crowd, causing them to become louder.
Then she remembered how drunk she was, and the world spun.
And then she hit the floor.
And then she passed out.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-End Flash Back-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
During Ritsu's remembering, they had arrived at the venue. Akahiro stopped them before they went in.
"Ok, guys. This party is a birthday party for a girl named Tsumugi Kotobuki. From the information I have obtained, she is a Junior in High School, like Ritsu and Akahiko." Akahiro explained. "This is a rich family, so act accordingly. I have already brought the clothes to be worn during our performance, so we just need to change. We are free to socialize until we have to play. Best behavior, this is an influential family. We make fans here, we get rocket boosted to fame."
"Rich? Hot girls?" Kobscene said, with a grin. "Sounds good to me."
"I assume I'll be dressed to please the fans?" Ritsu said.
"Yep."
"I'm a cross dresser…" Ritsu sighed. "Aw well, it's more comfortable."
And with that, they made their way into the loud, dark, and sweaty teenager filled building.

"Mugi!" A long, silky black haired girl called out.
Mugi, the blonde haired, caterpillar eye browed girl, turned around.
"Mio-chan!" Mugi said happily. She walked briskly over to her, with stars in her eyes. And then suddenly she disappeared in the crowd.
"Eh? Mugi?" the black haired girl called out once more.
"Boo!" Mugi said, loudly, appearing behind the black haired girl.
The black haired girl let out a blood curdling shriek, the color leaving her body. She turned around, to see Mugi. Mugi looked amused.
"Geez, Mugi, why did you do that?" Mio complained.
"It looked like fun," Mugi said, tilting her head to the side innocently. Mio found it hard to be made, and just handed Mugi a box wrapped in gift paper.
"Happy 17th birthday!" Mio said, cheerily.
"Why thank you!" Mugi said, smiling. "What did you get me?"
"Open it!" Mio said.
"Ok!" Mugi said. She quickly ripped the gift paper, letting it fall to the floor. Her eyes gleamed at the contents. "It's a The Scientist album! I love that band!"
"I know," Mio said, with a happy smile. In truth, Mio had fretted over what to get Mugi for her birthday. Mugi came from a rich family, and could get pretty much anything she wanted. Mio had worried what she could possibly get some one of such high-class. In the end, she decided the CD was the safest bet. Mio herself wasn't familiar with the band, however.
"Oh, have you found Yui-chan and Asuza-chan yet?" Mugi asked.
"Not yet." Mio admitted, a little nervously.
"Oh, well, go look for them!" Mugi suggested. "I have other people I must say hi to, I'm sorry."
"It's fine, I'll go look for them now." Mio said, with a smile. Suddenly, Mugi was gone again. Mio smiled by herself, before she sweat dropped.
I'm alone! Shoot! Mio thought, looking around. Ke$ha's "Blow" was being played at a volume that seemed impossibly. Around her, people were dancing, and grinding, and laughing. Mio continued looking around, slightly nudging her way through. She didn't make much progress, as she wasn't very aggressive. Suddenly, someone tapped her on the shoulder. She spun around expecting someone she knew.
Instead she was facing a person with brown hair going down to about their shoulder, lazily pulled back by a yellow hair band. They wore a white dress shirt, a black tie, black skinny jeans, and bright red converses.
"Need help?" they said, in a slightly low voice. Mio struggled to hear a bit.
"Oh, uh, n-n-no, I'm fine," Mio stuttered, embarrassed that a stranger was trying to help her.
"No, you're not, you need my help, you're not nearly aggressive enough," the person laughed. Mio couldn't help but feel slightly annoyed.
"Oh, well, I just didn't want to disturb any body," Mio said, with a fake smile. The person raised an eyebrow.
"You didn't want to disrupt," they started, pointing to a couple, dancing particularly dirty "that? You probably should, she might end up pregnant."
"W-w-wait! They're not-! With all th-th-these people around-?" Mio started, surprised.
"Whoa, whoa, it was a joke," The person chuckled again. "They both have their pants on. It'd take some skill to do that."
"Geez, stop messing with me," Mio huffed. "I have people I'm looking for!"
"Do you need help?" they offered.
"No!" Mio shouted. The people around them gave them side glances, but for the most part, continued dancing.
"Ooo~k" they almost purred, and then started walking off.
Mio felt a bit of panic for a second, being alone again. She reached out towards the person, but they were already gone.
"Geez, who was that, anyways?" Mio grumbled, and continued, slowly, making her way through the crowd.
"Mio!" A familiar cheerful voice shouted behind her.
"Yui!" Mio said, smiling, as she at last found some one she knew.
"Mio-senpai!" Azuaa called from behind Yui.
"Hi guys!" Mio said, walking towards them. "I've been looking for you guys!"
"Azu-nyan wanted to get some food~" Yui said.
"No, you wanted to get some food." Azusa said, sternly.
"Oh~ Same difference." Yui complained.
"Since when did you become me?" Azusa said.
"We are one!" Yui yelled, pointing a finger towards the sky. "One body, one mind, one soul!"
"D-d-don't say misleading things like that!" Azusa complained, pushing Yui away from her. Yui clung tightly to her arm. "Let go!"
"NO!" Yui said, tightening her grip.
"Just let go!" Azusa said.
"Why? Don't you love me Azu-nyan?" Yui said, with puppy dog eyes.
"Yes, yes of cou- wait! No! Not like that!" Azusa said. "As a friend!"
"Ruin my fun…" Yui sulked, still holding onto Azusa tightly. Azusa gave up, with a loud sigh.
"Hellooo~ ladies!" a male voice called. He had blonde hair, sprinkled with brown spots. His eyes were a piercing blue, that the three could see from five yards away.
"And who might you girls be?" He said, smiling brightly. Mio squinted towards him. He wore the same thing as the previous person she had encountered, but his shoes were bright blue, and he wore a baby blue sweat band to hold back his hair. He also fit a little more snuggly into his shirt.
"My name is Azusa." Azusa said, breaking the small silence.
"I'm Yui!" She said, cheerfully, still holding Azusa. The boy eyed her for a second, before turning to Mio. His eyes showed clear interest.
"M-m-m-my names Mio." She said, glancing down from the intense stare.
"Well, my name's Ko. Ko Kurosaki. Pleased to make your acquaintances." He said.
"Ah, same," Mio said, softly. She continued looking down, and fiddling her thumbs.
"You shouldn't be so nervous around me," Ko said, with a small smile.
"Oh, I'm s-s-s-s-sorry," Mio stuttered, embarrassed by her own embarrassment.
"Relax a little, your friends are fine." Ko said, turning to Azusa and Yui.
"So, Azusa and Yui. How do you guys know Mugi." Ko asked.
"We go to school together." Yui answered, with a cheerful smile. "We're in the same club too!"
"What club?" Ko asked.
"The K-ON club!" Yui said, excited. "We're a band!"
"That's totally cool," Ko said, chuckling a little. "You guys are good?"
"We're REALLY good!" Yui proclaimed.
"But we can't seem to find a permanent drummer," Azusa chimed in. Ko turned his attention to her.
"Why not?" he asked.
"There's not a lot of drummers at our school," Azusa explained.
"So then what do you guys play?" Ko asked.
"Me and Azu-nyan both play guitar!" Yui said, smiling, and rubbing her cheek on Azusa's.
"Azu-nyan…?" Ko said. He waved it off and looked at Mio.
"Are you in their band?" he asked.
"Oh, y-y-y-yeah, I play b-b-b-bass." Mio said, looking away still.
"Oh? Bass, that's pretty cool. It takes skill." Ko said, nodding.
"Uhm, yeah…" Mio said.
"Kobscene!" a familiar voice called. Mio's ears perked a bit.
"What? Ritsu? What do you want?" Ko called back, slightly annoyed.
"Don't give me that tone. I'm here to remind you to keep it in your pants!" Ritsu said. Mio saw the yellow head band move through the crowd, swiftly.
"W-what? Why would you say that!" Ko said, suddenly nervous. Azusa raised an eyebrow at him, and he rubbed the back of his head.
"Oy, play boy, not at this party." Ritsu said, finally appearing before them. Mio stared at Ritsu, a strange feeling over coming her.
"Oh? You found your people all by your self?" Ritsu said, looking at Mio. "Good job!"
"You didn't think I could?" Mio asked.
"I didn't think you could." Ritsu admitted, with a shrug. "Fancy us meeting again. I must be stalking you."
"W-w-what? Why would you do that?" Mio stammered, looking down, fidgeting with her hands.
"It's not like I really am, calm down. You're not my type." Ritsu laughed. Mio suddenly felt like hitting Ritsu. She contained it, but she glared at him.
"How would she be your type?" Ko said. "You don't swing that way."
"What?" Mio said.
"Maybe I'll have a change of heart." Ritsu said, laughing, scratching the back of his head.
"Huh?"
"Only if you change teams," Ko said.
"You're pretty hot," Ritsu said, turning to Mio. "Maybe I have taken an interest in you."
Suddenly there was pain in the back of his head. She grabbed it and squeezed his eyes in pain.
"Oy! That hurt!" Ritsu complained to Mio, the offender of the assault.
"You're aggravating." Mio simply stated. Ritsu stared at her, trying to convey his pain. Mio turned bright red and looked away.
"It's pretty hard to believe you're a GIRL, Ritsu!" Ko suddenly stated, loudly. Mio looked at him surprised.
"Why? Ritu said. She turned her attention to Ko. Mio looked at her strangely for a second. "Where did that come from?"
"Nothing," Ko simply said.
"Oh I get it," Ritsu said, with a sly grin in Mio's direction. "Girl's aren't usually hit. It seems we've met an aggressive one here. OW! WHY?"
"You're annoying." Mio stated, bright red.
"Aw, you're embarrassed. You're so cute," Ritsu purred. "At this point, I might actually change teams."
"Shut up," Mio said, turning redder, if that was possible.
~ Meanwhile, Yui and Azusa had stealthily made their way out of the conversation to go eat more food. ~
"Oh Ritsu, turning into a play boy?" Ko suddenly jumped in. "Following in your old mans footsteps?"
"When did you become my dad?" Ritsu asked. "And no."
"Then you wouldn't mind if I took her?" Ko said, with a confident smile.
"Yes, I would. I've clearly got my eyes on her." Ritsu said, with an equally confident smile.
"Are you just jealous because she's got huge jugs?" Ko said. Mio turned bright red.
"That's just a plus." Ritsu said.
Geez, what are these guys talking about in front of me? And how is he a girl? She doesn't even talk like one. Or look like one. I guess if I look closely enough, she's got some boobs, but… AGH! What am I thinking? I feel like a pervert! Geez, being around these people is bad for me. I need to get away… WAIT! Where did Yui and Azusa go? They left me here? Those two … ! They're in for it when I find them! But first… get away… slowly…
Mio took a hesitate step backwards. Ritsu's eyes darted towards her quickly, causing Mio to freeze quickly. Ritsu grinned slightly and looked away.
Crap! Did she notice? No, she would've brought attention to me, wouldn't she? Ok, getting away… gotta be more careful…
Mio slowly stepped backwards, as the two continued to bicker like young brothers over a toy fire truck. Finally, she was far enough that she could no longer see, nor hear the two. She sighed with relief and went to go get some food. She arrived at the table with the food on it. She spotted a piece of garlic bread and reached for it, only to have it snatched away from her. It was the last piece, and she glared at the hand that took it. She continued up the white sleeve, almost immediately recognizing the person before she got to their face. Suddenly something was gently pushed into her mouth, causing her to gag in surprise. Chuckling was heard, and Mio's angered returned, knowing who it was.
"Why are you following me!" Mio said, angrily, after she swallowed the food. Ritsu snickered in amusement, furthering Mio's anger.
"Did you really think you'd trick me? I could tell you were leaving when you took your first step." Ritsu said, leaning on a wall. "And then I followed you."
"So, you really are stalking me?" Mio said.
"Now I am." Ritsu said, with a sheepish grin. "Am I bothering you?"
"Oh, just a little bit." Mio huffed.
"You know, I don't think you're so bothered by me," Ritsu stated, after a few seconds of silence.
"Why's that?" Mio said, picking something else to eat up.
"Well, I noticed when Ko was talking to you, you were nervous and tensed up," Ritsu said, licking her lips a bit, looking into the crowd of people.
"So? I'm a nervous person around people I don't know!" Mio said, angrily, as if Ritsu hit a nerve.
"Ah, well, you see… you talk to me pretty normally," Ritsu said, pointing to herself with a grin.
"W-w-what! No I d-d-don't!" Mio said. "Besides! It's just… because you annoy me!"
"What does that have to do with it?" Ritsu asked, amused.
"It… I mean… you… GAH! Never mind!" Mio said. "So what, I can tolerate you."
"So… I was hoping…" Ritsu started. "You and me could be friends?"
"Wha- why?" Mio asked, surprised by the question.
"Well, I don't have many female friends you see." Ritsu said. "And most of them are more focused on getting in my pants. Their always disappointed when I say, "sorry guys, I'm straight!" But they keep trying anyways… I guess that's the love of fans."
"Fans? What do you do?" Mio asked, continuing to eat.
"You're gonna get fat if you keep eating so much," Ritsu said. Mio turned red.
"Baka! That's not something you should care about!" Mio said, crossly.
"But it's only right to worry about your friends, isn't it?" Ritsu said.
"First, we are not friends, second, friends don't need to worry each other over that, and third when you say it like friends you make it seem more like friends with benefits or something." Mio said.
"I'll friend your benefit," Ritsu said, waggling her eye brows suggestively. A second later, there was a bump on her head.
"That didn't make any sense." Mio stated, with a huff.
"Then why'd you hit me?" Ritsu demanded.
"Shut up."
"Why?"
"Just do it!"
"I don't want to."
"Why can't you ever just stop talking?"
"You haven't known me long enough to say it like that."
"Just shut up!"
"But I wanna talk to you some more…"
"I'll be your friend!"
"…"
"That's better." Mio sighed, and rubbed her head. She closed her eyes for a second and breathed deeply. She opened her eyes to find Ritsu staring at her, standing right in front of her. Mio turned bright red and looked oddly at her.
"What're you doing?" Mio asked. Ritsu remained silent, and continued looking at her.
"Oy, what's wrong with you?" Still no answer. Mio felt her heart pound a bit from the intense look she was getting from Ritsu.
What's wrong with me? Why would I be like this from her? Mio thought, confused.
"So… are you just going to stare at me?" Mio asked. Ritsu just continued staring at her. Suddenly, Ritsu reached into her pocket. She took out a cell phone, looked at it with a grimace, bowed to Mio, and then briskly walked away.
Mio stared after her, confused.

Get yer ass over here! XD It's time to play! – From Akahiko.
Ritsu cursed internally to herself.
Things were just starting to get good too! Geez, who is this girl anyways? I don't even know her name… This is frustrating. Usually people don't make me feel like this. And she's a girl. Am I really changing teams? Whatever, its time… fuck! I'm singing!
She flashed a pass to a body guard in front of a door, and walked in. She saw her band mates, getting ready. Akahiko had his bass, Akahiro had his guitar, and Kobscene was sitting with his drum sticks.
"Yo," Ritsu said, waving to the three.
"Yo? What were you doing? We go on in two minutes!" Akahiro shouted.
"She was seducing a girl," Kobscene said with a disdainful smirk.
"You could say that," Ritsu said. "Ko here was interested in taking her home."
"Pou, you lost to Ritsu didn't you?" Akahiko said laughed.
"Shut up!" Ko hissed.
"I wouldn't say I won just yet, but he definitely lost." Ritsu said, with a confident snort.
"You guys are on," a man said, appearing from a curtain.
"Alright let's do this." Ritsu said, smiling nervously.

Mio couldn't believe the nerve of this girl. It was like she was playing with the strings of her heart.
Wait… her heart?
No, she was just agitating that's all. She annoyed the living crap out of Mio. She had suddenly appeared before her, and then suddenly left, leaving Mio in a slight mess. Her heart was pounding a bit, and her face was as red as a tomato covered in strawberry red paint.
Ladies and Gentlemen: We are pleased to introduce… The Scientists! A man said over a speaker.
Mio turned her attention to the stage.
Oh, the band Mugi really likes. I should go see, I bet they're really good.
She spurt out was she was drinking when she saw the singer.
"Hello everyone! Hi to everyone who know's us, nice to meet you to those who don't!" Ritsu shouted into the microphone. "First off, it's someone special day is it not? Well, we should sing happy birthday, right? Ok, on the count of three… one, two…. Three!"
Mio stared in awe, as the girl led the large group in a song of happy birthday. More surprising than that, was that the girl was actually a good singer. Her voice was in a low range, giving off a masculine feel, but she seemed able to hit higher notes well. Slowly, Mio unconsciously started walking towards the stage.
"So how about we do some songs?" Ritsu asked the crowd. They all yelled with excitement.

Ritsu had down seven songs now, and she still hadn't located the girl. She kept scanning the sides, and the backs of the room, even a little inside the crowd, but failed to find her. Ritsu was about to give up, when, as she was touching the hands of the crowd, she found what she was looking for. They made eye contact, and she looked away, causing Ritsu to smile in victory. The song she was singing ended, and she took a drink from a water bottle. Then she stared at the crowd for a few seconds before taking a deep breath.
"So is everyone having fun tonight?" Ritsu asked, sitting on the side of the stage, a few feet from the black haired girl. The crowd answered positively.
"Good, good. I'm having a lot of fun too. You see," Ritsu said, putting on a sly grin. "I made a new friend today."
She saw the girl slightly pale in the corner of her eye.
"We're going to be the best of friends, you see. So, I thought it'd be nice of me to let her come up with me." Ritsu turned to her. "Get up here!"
She started to try to escape, but Ritsu jumped into the crowd, leaving the stage and microphone. She grabbed the girl by her waist, and carried her to the stage.
"You sure are heavy," Ritsu complained.
"Then don't carry me!" she shouted back, bright red. Ritsu put her on the stage, walked to pick up her microphone and grabbed another from somewhere off stage. [2]
"So first off all, why don't you tell everyone your name?" Ritsu said, slickly. Kill two birds with one stone. Embarrass her, and get her name.
"M-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-mio…" she stuttered. She glared intensely at Ritsu.
"Ah, Mio. Well, since we're friends…" Ritsu handed her the other microphone. "Sing with me?"
"What?" Mio shouted, causing some laughter from the crowd.
"You wouldn't happen to know the song Better than Better Could Be, would you?" Ritsu asked.
"By Stephen Jerzak and Cady Groves?" Mio said, suddenly excited. "I love that song! But no one I know listens to either of them!"
"Oh ho! You're quiet lucky! I happen to be a fan of both of them!" Ritsu said, puffing out her chest slightly. "Sing it with me?"
"Ww-w-w-why?" Mio said, remembering where she was.
"Because we're friends?" Ritsu suggested.
"That's not a good reason, but fine," Mio said, sighing in defeat. Ritsu beamed with happiness.
Akahiko brought an acoustic guitar out, and a stool, and started playing.
Mio took a deep breath and sang.
"And there's so many fish in the sea," Mio sang.
"But we could float," Ritsu continued.
"If, that's, what you want." They sang together. The mixture of their voices sounded surprisingly good, as if they were molded together.
"Ooooh, cause baby you seem, too good to me," Mio sang, gazing at the floor.
"I don't want to know, what life would be," Ritsu sang, staring intently at Mio. "If you ever wanted to go~"
"Cuz their throwing us lemons," Mio sang, staring at her feet.
"And we're squeezing them into our cups," Ritsu sang, nudging Mio's foot with her own. Mio looked up, surprised.
"Whooa~ And drinking it up," they sang together. Ritsu wore a stupid grin when Mio finally smiled back.
"Boy you got, just I want~" Mio sang, with more confidence. "I'm not, going a place, with out your heart. Whoooa~"
"And girl, you're my, sun-shiny day," Ritsu said, continuing to wear her grin. "You'd take my life away~"
"If you ever wanted to go."
