Ryo & Setsu:
—Ey girls, have you heard the news? It seems that when we return from the spring brake the school will be co-ed."
—What? B… but that's tomorrow! Oh, man! Seriously, what's wrong with the headmaster? This is really something…"
—Well, I don't know but I think your fan club will increase the members, don't you think? —Said Yui.
—Of course they'll increase their numbers. —Agreed Ritsu. —But I'm starting to feel lonely. One day a big guy will take Mio away from me and who knows what's next.
Mio punched really hard the two brunettes and left them.
—Ricchan, do you think she will forgive us for tomorrow?
—Of course she will, she's not really angry, just embarrassed. She's jut a little sensitive when is about boys.
—Oh, I see.
—¿The two of them? Dude! This is going to be one of our hardest tasks.
—That's why this is our case. When you are in a difficult situation, you call the pros.
At the next day all the school was burning with expectation. Some girls, like Mio, haven't had contact with boys since they were on kindergarten, but at the end, they just had to accept the new situation. They don't really have a choice.
—Ladies, ladies —said the kind and warm voice of the headmaster. —Is a great pleasure to me to introduce you the first generation of male students of this school. Please be nice partners with them.
The boys walked in. Anything special about them, they were just… just boys, Japanese boys, pretty normal. Why they were so nervous anyway? Very well, Mio was looking to the floor waiting the boys leave the room, but eventually her curiosity made her look at them. Her gray eyes met some amber eyes, exactly like her friend's, but this guy's hair was darker and longer, tied in a ponytail. He was exactly like Ritsu, even his walk and his presumed smile. Did he just winked her or it was only her imagination? She blushed.
Ritsu noted that and she started to feel weird, she was going to ask her what made her blush when her ember eyes met a pair of gray eyes, just like her friend's but a little bit darker. But his hair was exactly like Mio's, soft and black and beautiful. The boy noted she was looking at him and give her a shy smile.
—Mio, did you see that? I think I just found your male version.
—And I found yours.
They don't say anything else about it and went to their class. Surprisingly, the two boys they saw were their classmates now. Well, they and other ten guys, but the two of them were who had their attention. They recognize and greeted them with a smile. Ritsu's double smile was full of energy; the other one smile was shy but adorable. "What the… I don't know why but I feel so weird looking at them."
Nothing good to comment about recess, just the boys socializing, but one more time they noted the scaring similarities. The brunette was energetic, social and very funny, and the black haired one was shy and polite. Actually, he was introduced by his friend. What kind of game was that? Mio a Ritsu didn't know but they felt weird looking at their male version.
Finally it was after school time and Mio and Ritsu could rest at the club enjoying Mugi's tea and snacks. That was a really exhausting day. The new students gave them too much to think about. Everything was fine when…
—Ojamashimasu… —said a soft but manly voice opening the door. It was the black haired boy. —Hello, my name is Ryo. I was going to join the literature club but…
—I told you, idiot, I'll never let you to join such a club when you are a talented bassist, compositor and singer. It's a pleasure to meet you all, ladies, my name is Setsu and I like people to be informal with me, so you don't have to know my last name. The only thing you need to know is that I'm a gifted drummer and a Keith Moon fan.
The girls were so confused.
—Eto… are you relatives of Ricchan and Mio-chan?
—Yeah, your last names aren't Tainaka and Akiyama, aren't them?
—Nope. Dude, come on! Get in, don't tell me you brought Stephenson just to give him a walk.
—Stephenson?
—His bass.
The black haired boy just took his bass. It was… just like Elizabeth. Meanwhile, Setsu took his drumsticks, exactly like Ritsu's and winked at the two friends. That instruments, that attitude… Coincidence or destiny?
—Can I?
—Eh? Sure, go ahead.
He borrowed the drums and started to play. He was really accelerated and crazy, but he was a good drummer. As for Ryo, hi was a talented bassist and somehow he helped to gave form to his friend's melody. The entire situation was becoming creepy and scaring.
—Do you accept new members?
—Ah? Oh, yes… sure… Mugi, some tea for our new friends.
The blonde do as Ritsu said and that's how the after school tea time tradition trapped the new members too. Ignoring the creepy similarities, the two of them were really good friends. Ritsu was chatting with Ryo and they looked very happy. Mio felt a little weird, but nothing to worry about. Ryo and Setsu noted that and smiled but anyone saw them. Anyway, when Mio noted how close Ryo and Ritsu became, she started to be friendlier with Setsu. And at the end of the day, the girls accepted the two guys like one of them and anything else happened. It was time to go home.
—Ey, don't you have to go home? This is our way home.
—You too? God, what a coincidence!
—Ok, enough! My patience is at limit —said Mio. —I don't know what the hell is going on here, but is scaring. This similarities are not a coincidence, aren't them?
—Let's do this: is still early, so you can have a date with me and Ryo can date Ritsu, a double date but in different places; so we can have fun together and give you an explanation. What do you think?
—Do we look like idiots?
—Just a walk in the park. We have at least a couple of hours of light and if anything happened, the guards can help you.
Mio an Ritsu looked at each other.
—Fine, just a walk in the park. Just that.
—Is fine for me.
—Ok!
When the four of them arrived to the park, each couple took different paths. The girls were nervous, but somehow they thought it wasn't necessary.
—Fine, explain.
—Very well, I took this human form because Tainaka Ritsu is your childhood friend and the one who understand you better. The think is you can be more open and friendly with someone who looks very similar to your best friend.
—What are you talking about? What do you mean with human form?
—Don't you get it? I'm not a human being.
—Ok… Look, I'm here just because you told me you'll give an explanation, but here we are, and it seems like you're having fun of me. Listen, if I see you again in the club, I'll break your pretty bass on your head. I don't care about how much you look like Mio.
They were in a beautiful garden of roses, perfect for a date, although at that time all roses were still in bud. Ryo giggled and made a strange gesture with his arm. Immediately, all roses started to open releasing its fragrance. And more bushes started to grow.
—What the…
—I'm what the ancient Greeks called a spirit of love. A cupid if you prefer…
Ritsu started to run.
—Mortals, —sighed Ryo.
The cupid dropped off his jacket and extended his beautiful wings, he looked very similar to an angle. Finally he trapped Ritsu.
—Stay away from me, monster!
—Calm down, I'm a spirit of love, something good, something created to help you humans. My job is to help that ones who found their love, but somehow, still stock.
Mio was shocked. How was that even possible? Suddenly a mythical creature appears and transformed the waves created in the fountain made them take impossible shapes like hearths and teddy bears and butterflies. But more important, he was here to help her?
—You see Mio; we're not allowed to interfere with a love situation unless there are two conditions: first one, that love has to be the "Fated love", that one you suppose to be the rest of your life. Second: it has to be a situation rated A. A lost case is easier to remember.
—A situation rate A?
—Yep, you and your friend are a good example.
—I don't know what you're talking about.
—See? She is a hardhead who can't admit she's in love with you and you are a coward…
—Hey!
—…a coward who is afraid of her feelings. Calm down, Mio, that's why I'm here. Or, well, that's why Ryo and I are here. We modified your reality transforming your school in a co ed to introduce us into your lives and do our job. Once we finished, everything is going to be normal and you won't remember us or this experience. It will be like a dream.
—Like a dream?
—The only remaining thing of all this adventure will be your love. Anyway, that love has always being there, so that won't be a problem.
Mio started to cry, and then she ran away. Setsu followed her and took her hand gently.
—LET ME GO… please… just let me go…
—Mio, do you know why else I took this form? Besides that thing I told you earlier, this form reminds the form you love most. Don't think I didn't notice your jealousy when Ritsu and Ryo became closer. It's ok to feel Mio. She is your destiny, Mio, if wasn't the case, we weren't here anyway. You mortals are very funny, you know?
Rio calmed down a little.
—And sorry for scare you, is just that, we cupids really enjoy jokes and we decided to have a little fun of you, and scare you was our way. Nice reaction of yours, exactly like predicted the inform.
—Inform? Don't tell me you were spying us!
—Nope, we don't make the cases, we just receive it.
—Oh.
The boy smiled warmly.
—I think is time to go back, what do you think?
She agreed silently.
They walked to the park's entrance, where Ritsu and Ryo were already waiting. She was unusually shy and silently. The two friends looked each other and then they looked to the other side.
—What was that, ladies? I thought we did a great job; don't tell me our efforts were in vane. Come on, we still have other tasks in your school.
The two girls smiled.
—So, Mio, what's that you're in love with me?
—Baka. You're not anyone to tell me anything.
—I know.
They smiled each other and took their hands.
—My friend, we did an excellent work.
—I know, is because we're awesome.
The four friends walked to their neighborhood silently, but happy.
—So, tomorrow everything will be normal again?
—Nope. Don't you remember I told you we still have some tasks in your school?
—Oh, well, I see. So you will picking up couples, told them your secret and hoping everything go like you expected.
—Ew… not exactly.
—You see, we're allowed to tell just one person by visit.
—What?
—Well, you we're the most difficult case, so we decided to use our triumph card earlier. But, the thing is we need your help.
—Why?
—Because all the cases we have on your school are somehow related to the light music club.
—Give me a brake! Still, the two of you helped us, so I think we owe you that. What do you think Mio?
—I agree.
—Yeah!
—Thank you girls, matta ashita ne.
The two creatures walked away really proud, so the girls continued walking to the brunette's house.
—Oh, so, matta ashita to you to.
—Yeah, see you.
The black haired bassist walked away.
—Mio!
—Yeah?
RItsu kissed her.
—It supposed to be a romantic comedy, so that was the missing thing.
Mio giggled.
—I guess you're right. So, wanna sleep together?
—It's a romantic comedy, not a cliché. Besides, is Monday, our parent's wont let us.
—Oh, you're right. Ok, see you tomorrow then.
—See ya.
So? I hope I did a good job, if I don't... well I'll still continue because I loved it.
And reed ya later!
