A/N: This is a story that was born in the dark depths my mind a while ago. I never thought of posting it, but the prologue is finished and it's completely done so I figured, why not? Hope you like it.

Disclaimer: I do not own K-ON! it belongs to Kakifly and KyoAni.

I do not own Helter Skelter it is by The Beatles.

When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide
Where I stop and I turn and I go for a ride
Till I get to the bottom and I see you again.

Prologue: Helter Skelter

"Ohoho, look at all the rides! "

"Ahhh! Look it's the Helter Skelter!"

A girl with chocolate brown eyes squealed in delight as she quickly moved ahead of her group to scout out the busy amusement park. She especially examined the giant sign that welcomed people into the park. It read:

Fair Here. A red arrow pointed to the entrance gate of the boardwalk.

Home of the Newly Built Helter Skelter Roller Coaster.

The park lay on top of a boardwalk that overlooked a beach and was surrounded by a large forest on its other side. A giant metal chain link fence separated the amusement park from the forest; it served as a barrier to keep people from wandering into the wilderness.

Visible even all the way from the beach, a large roller coaster wrapped around a tall building with red stripes and blue paint; it stood tall and mighty above all the other rides. Its loops put the minor ones of the other coasters to shame.

It was a warm sunny summer day and the atmosphere held excitement due to the crowds of people walking around. The English based amusement park flashed the colors of the British flag and many stands sold foreign foods.

I-it's so cool! It's like we're in a whole other country even though we're still in Japan!

Yui clenched her fists in excitement and gleefully observed as children tugged at their parent's hands as they begged them to let them play the various boardwalk games. Many people walked around eating cotton candy and bags of popcorn. It was the sweet sugary smell of bubblegum that led Yui to walk toward a cotton candy stand and ignore the group of girls following her.

"Yui-chan, please don't go too far ahead, we wouldn't want you getting lost."

The auburn-haired girl turned around to face the blonde speaker before she gave her a thumbs-up.

"Hehe, don't worry Mugi-chan, I'll be okay! I have Azunyan to watch over me!"

Yui beamed as she hooked her arm around a younger looking girl with waist-length raven hair tied up in braided twin tails.

"Yui-senpai, please don't do this in public," Azusa muttered as she tried to pry the older girl's arm off of her.

"Onee-chan, you shouldn't tease Azusa-chan so much, you'll wrinkle your dress and mess up your hair if you keep it up," a brown haired girl that exactly like Yui except had her hair up in a ponytail smiled at the two.

"Ne, you're right, Ui. Sawa-chan would kill me if I wrinkled this new dress up," Yui gasped as immediately let go of Azusa's arm and then jumped away from the younger girl.

She moved to stand in front of a window to check her reflection. Her hair was tied up in two braided pigtails and her bangs lay on her face. The yellow clips that she usually wore were absent.

Hm, my hair looks fine.

Yui then looked down and examined the sky blue English Victorian style dress that she wore. She bent down to pull up her knee-length white socks, admiring the red stripe at their top while she did so.

I really like how Sawa-chan designed these dresses.

The auburn-haired girl then quickly straightened up while she fixed the white collar of her dress. From the corner of her eye, she observed as her younger sister walked up to her to fix her white ribbon. Yui smiled appreciatively at Ui when she finished up. If someone looked at them from the distance, they would have thought that the two were identical twins. Since they were wearing the exact same thing, the only thing that showed who was who was their different hairstyles.

"You're right, Yui-chan! I would have to kill you if you messed anything up with these dresses that I pulled an all-nighter making!" A voice whispered into Yui's ears as an arm wrapped around her shoulder.

"E-Eh, Sawa-chan, when did you get here?" Yui slightly trembled when she noticed that their club advisor and teacher had joined them.

A bespectacled woman with dark brown hair stood next to Yui, an amused smile was on her face. She pet Yui's head slightly before replying, "Ah, I've been here the entire time."

Yui watched the teacher greet and approach the four other girls. A girl with tawny hair stepped out of the group and flashed the teacher a thumbs-up as she walked towards her.

"Heh thanks Sawa-chan; I mean these turned out to be pretty cool!" Ritsu grinned before looking down at the dress that she wore.

Everyone, with the exception of Sawako, wore the same Victorian style dress, white socks with red stripes, and black low-top sneakers. Yui couldn't help but notice that Ritsu's bangs were pulled back by a yellow headband on her head that stood out from the white-blue scheme of her outfit.

"Ricchan, I honestly do hope that you get rid of that headband before the performance…it clashes with your dress," The teacher stated as she folded her arms and stood there quietly for a few seconds.

Oh, right! The performance! Sawa-chan got us a gig at this park and that's why we're here in the first place! It's the only reason that I get to ride the Helter Skelter!

Yui mentally face palmed herself before she watched the teacher quickly remove the headband from the drummer's head. The airhead observed in awe as Ritsu suddenly seemed to transform into a completely different person as her bangs fell onto her face.

"W-who are you?" Yui gasped as she pointed at the drummer in shock.

"Y-Yui, that's not funny!" Ritsu blushed before jumping Yui and pulling her into a headlock.

A soft laughter could be heard from behind the two before Ritsu loosened her grip on her enough to let her turn her head.

"It's true though, Ritsu. You look completely different with your hair down," Mio smiled at the drummer. Her grey eyes twinkling slightly as she watched Ritsu blush deeper.

So Ricchan and Mio-chan are getting closer, ne? I wonder...

Chocolate brown eyes looked over at the raven-haired girl that was talking animatedly to Ui. Her stomach flipped slightly when she saw the younger girl smile. A feeling of longing consumed her as she gazed at the girl lovingly.

Azunyan…

"Well, everyone the concert isn't until 5pm and it is 2pm now. Why don't we go enjoy ourselves?" The blonde mused as she looked at them all brightly, since her hair was parted into two ponytails instead of flowing free, it accentuated the sparkle in her blue eyes.

"Oh, right! Nodoka-chan is coming too! Let's go find her, Ui!" Yui squealed before grabbing her younger sister's hand.

I remember that at first she said that she wouldn't be able to make it, but she's coming! Nodoka-chan is really coming!

"Yui-chan, please don't forget to meet up at the center by 4!" Mugi called out as they ran away.

"Don't worry, Mugi-senpai, I'll have her back!" Ui shouted back while Yui navigated her through crowds of people. When the two nearly crashed into a senior citizen, Ui started to worry and began to repeat, "O-Onee-chan, slow down a bit, we're going too fast!"

"Not until we find Nodoka-chan, Ui! Then we can all spend time together," Yui said as she continued running around people while her sister apologized to them.

Her chocolate brown eyes searched desperately for her bespectacled childhood friend. The moment that she found the short haired girl, she let go of her sister's hand and lunged at her.

"NODOKA-CHAN!"

"Ah, Yu-Oof!"

The second that Nodoka had recognized the approaching voice, Yui wrapped her arms around in a tight hug. She loosened her grip on the girl to check her face. Nodoka's glasses were askew and her cheeks were a slight shade of pink.

"Hm, Yui I'd prefer if you didn't do this in the middle of such a huge crowd," the girl coughed slightly as Yui loosened her hug and she noticed that they had halted a moving line of traffic.

"Hehe, sorry Nodoka-chan, I just got really excited to see you again!" Yui giggled as she tried to stop herself from jumping around in happiness.

"Ah, Nodoka-chan, it's nice to see you again," Ui who had observed the scene in front of her joined the conversation.

"Nice to see you again also, Ui, I hope that you've both been well," Nodoka smiled before examining them both.

"We've been well, Nodoka-chan! Onee-chan wanted to go on rides before her concert, but she also wanted to wait for you," Ui laughed softly as she watched Yui stare longingly at a cotton candy stand.

"Ne, Ui, can you give me some money so I can buy cotton candy?" Yui asked as a drop of drool dribbled on her chin.

Her eyes stared longingly at the fluffy, soft goodness that was cotton candy as it tantalized her with its sweet smell. It was practically begging to be eaten.

"Not now, Onee-chan. I don't want you eating if we're going on that roller-coaster that you wanted to go on," Ui gently said.

"Eh? B-But Ui, it's practically calling out to me," Yui whined as she tugged at her sister's sleeve like a child would their parent's if they saw a toy that they wanted.

"Onee-chan, if you're planning on confessing to Azusa-chan today, you shouldn't plan on being covered in your own throw-up," Ui reminded her.

"Hehe, you're right!" Yui let go of her sister's sleeve and looked off to the side.

Yes! Today I will do it! I've been planning on doing it for a long time, but today is the day!

"Let's go find Azunyan to go on rides with us, Ui!" Yui squealed as she ran into the crowd.

In the distance Yui heard Ui and Nodoka calling her, but she was too busy thinking about a certain rhythm guitarist to hear what they said.

~K-ON! ~
-

"Eh, so you're telling me that you're confessing to Azusa either after you make her go on that roller coaster with you OR after we finish with the concert?"

Ritsu's amber eyes looked quizzically into Yui's as she asked her the question.

Hehe, in a way it's better that I found Ricchan first 'cause she can give me wise advice on these sorts of things.

"Mhm Ricchan! It needs to be perfect!" Yui beamed at the drummer before continuing, "Azunyan deserves the best!"

Ritsu placed her hand on her forehead and pushed her bangs back. A slight frown was on her face highlighting her eyes as she thought.

"Hm, I'm not sure if that's the right way to go about it though…maybe you should ask our love expert," the tawny-haired girl pointed at a raven-haired girl who was obviously eavesdropping since she was leaning toward them as she "examined" a game booth.

Said love expert blushed when she noticed that she had been spotted. She smacked the back of Ritsu's head before speaking causing the girl to earn a small lump.

"I-I'm not an expert! I do think that you should try something a bit more…romantic though, Yui. The thought of going on that…rollercoaster…where it's so high up…and fast…"

Mio slowly stopped talking as her eyes grew wide in fear. Yui weakly smiled when she saw Mio drop to the ground and start violently trembling.

Uh oh, Mio-chan scared herself.

"Um, Yui try asking Mugi…I don't think Mio's going to be much help now," Ritsu softly said as she leaned down next to the bassist and pet her head.

Yui watched the interaction with a look of shock. The drummer's out of character reaction confused her.

Eh? What's happening? Usually Ricchan uses these sorts of situations to her advantage and scares Mio-chan even more! Why is she not teasing her today…?

Chocolate brown eyes examined the drummer's face as she calmly pet Mio's head. The raven-haired beauty seemed to relax as she relaxed herself in the embrace that the girl put her in. Something about her hair being tied up into a braided ponytail gave her more of a childlike appearance as her eyes glistened with tears. While she watched, Yui could see Ritsu's lips moving as if she was saying something. After moving a bit closer, she heard the drummer's words.

"It'll be okay, Mio, nothing will hurt you at this park, I'll make sure of it," Ritsu's voice was calm and surprisingly lacked a teasing note.

Yui heard Mio whimper slightly which in return caused her cheeks to heat up. She placed her hands on her cheeks to cover the blush.

Ah, Mio-chan's being too cute!

The airhead continued watching the scene in front of her with awe. From the corner of her eyes, she saw a flash of yellow.

Ah, Mugi-chan is here too!

Yui turned slightly to greet the girl, but froze up at what she saw. Expecting to see Mugi's usual blushing face at the interactions between two girls, Yui felt something squeeze inside her when she saw that the smile on Mugi's face didn't warm the coldness of her baby blue eyes.

W-wait what?

Yui went to open her mouth and ask the keyboardist if she was okay, but at that moment Ritsu spoke up again, but a bit louder.

"Heh, nothing is going to hurt you, but since there's a beach nearby I would be careful and check that there aren't barnacles on the back of your seat when you go on a ride!"

Mio's high pitched scream filled the area before Ritsu uttered her usual yelp. The two had attracted a crowd with their actions and Mio's fuming reaction didn't help disperse it.

"Ritsu, you idiot, leave me alone!" Mio growled before realizing that multiple eyes were watching her.

The bassist seemed to deflate at the attention, her eyes tearing up yet again as her face went a furious shade of red. She then turned and then quickly sprinted away.

"W-wait Mio, Uh…well that's the sort of thing you'd want to avoid with Azusa, Yui…" Ritsu weakly smiled before turning to the direction where the girl had run off. "Mio, wait up!"

Yui watched quietly as the two blue specks of the girl's dresses disappeared into the crowd of people. A silence remained between the brunette and blonde until Mugi spoke up.

"Yui-chan, if you're confessing to Azusa-chan, you should make sure to do it when you see fit. It needs to be a moment where you feel everything is just right," Mugi's voice was a slightly pained whisper.

"Mugi-chan, is everything okay?" Yui softly asked the blonde next to her.

Mugi nodded and smiled brightly at her. The twinkle in her eyes was a bit brighter than it had been before.

"Ah, Yui-senpai, Mugi-senpai, I finally found you two!"

At the sound of the familiar voice, Yui turned around and felt her heart flutter.

Azunyan looks so cute with her hair braided like that.

Yui jumped at the younger girl and pulled her into a tight hug to hide her upcoming blush.

"Azu-recharge!" She squealed as she rested her cheek on the girl's soft hair.

Immediately after the hug began, Yui could feel the resisting force of the girl underneath her trying to push her away. Yui unwillingly let go of her and smiled. As she pulled away, she was amused to see that Azusa's cheeks were a light shade of pink.

"Senpai, I said not to do that in public!" Azusa grumbled after the airhead stepped away from her.

A soft laugh alerted their attention to Mugi. Her cheeks were now pink and her blue eyes sparkled at their interaction. Yui felt something in her brighten up when she saw the blonde's change in action.

"Oh, Yui-senpai, Ui and Nodoka-senpai are looking for…well everyone. They said that they have something to give to all of us," Azusa recalled when Yui's eyes moved back to her.

"Something for me…? Ooh, let's go find out what! Come on Azunyan!" Yui giggled as she took Azusa's hand before glancing back at Mugi. "You too, Mugi-chan, let's see what they have!"

The blonde smiled at her before nodding and following. Yui ignored Azusa's pleas to slow down as she narrowly avoided colliding into people.

All that she could focus on was the warm hand that linked the two of them.

~K-ON! ~
-

"Hehe, I bet these make me look super smart, ne?"

Azusa sweat dropped as she watched Yui place a hand on her head and another on her hip to model the thick framed glasses that she wore; she stuck her tongue slightly out of her mouth to add to the effect. Something about the glasses did change the airhead's appearance though and the twin tailed girl couldn't help but stare at her in wonder.

In a way, Yui-senpai does look more mature now…

"Hehe, Azunyan are you staring at my newfound smartness?"

A pair of brown eyes stared directly into her garnet. Noting that her face and Yui's were mere centimeters away from each other, Azusa tensed up slightly before stepping back.

W-when did she get so close to me?

"No, of course not!"

The blush crept back into her cheeks as she heard the others giggle. Ritsu and Mio had rejoined the group; they were all now gathered by the token booth so they could get tokens for rides. When Yui, Azusa, and Mugi had joined up with Nodoka and Ui, the two girls had given them packages as good luck gifts.

Yui had received glasses that she now refused to take off because she wanted to "match with Nodoka-chan" and Mugi was given two white ribbons to tie up her hair. The moment that Ritsu and Mio had joined them, Ritsu was given a white beret and then both Mio and Azusa were handed white roses.

"Thank you for the gifts, Nodoka-senpai and Ui," Azusa smiled at both girls while she twirled her rose in her fingers.

"Hey, don't worry about it. It was the best that we could do! Thank for taking care of Yui while I've been absent," Nodoka smiled sweetly at her.

At her words, another blush made its way on Azusa's face.

E-Eh, She didn't have to put it that way!

"Azunyan, Azunyan for watching over me all day you get a…friendship kiss!" Yui squealed as she launched herself once again at her.

Time seemed to slow down as Azusa watched the brunette reach out to her. While her heart pounded loudly in her ears, she felt nervous and giddy.

W-what are these strange feelings? ...I don't want to lose my first kiss like this!

"Ngh, no, senpai!"

Azusa brought up her hands and pushed at Yui's face. The garnet-eyed girl froze up when she saw how close the brunette's face was to hers. Had she waited a few more seconds, she would have had to…

The younger girl looked up to see that Yui was suddenly at least three feet away from her.

W-what, how did she get so far away?

"It's time everyone!" Yui suddenly shouted as she bounced back from Azusa's rejection. The brightness in her eyes was emphasized by the thickness of the glasses' frame.

"Time for what?" Azusa asked absentmindedly.

A serious smile made its way onto Yui's face as she flashed a peace sign that made her insides tingle.

"The Helter Skelter is awaiting our arrival!" the brunette smiled before pointing at the giant ride that overshadowed all others.

Azusa felt her heart drop when she saw the size of the roller coaster. The reason that the park was so crowded this specific day was because it was the day of the ride's grand opening. From what she had heard at school, one would have to climb all the way to the top to wait in line, and then slide down to the platform where they would ride the real rollercoaster part.

S-She wants to go on that? I r-really really hope that she doesn't ask me to go…

"I-I'm not going," Mio immediately raised her hand; Azusa could see that her grey eyes were observing the ride with fear.

"Uh…I guess I'll go on it later," Ritsu laughed weakly as Mio latched onto her arm.

"I'm sorry Yui-chan, but I need to go help set up right about now," Mugi softly replied, Azusa could see that her eyes didn't stray from Ritsu and Mio.

"Actually, yeah, setting up seems like a great idea!" Ritsu grinned at the keyboardist which earned her a smile from the blonde.

"Aww…I guess that leaves me, Nodoka-chan, and Ui…" Yui pouted slightly before glancing at Azusa.

Thank Kami she immediately left me out…I'm not sure that I'd be able to reject it if she looked at me with sad eyes…

"… and Azunyan of course, let's go!" Yui brightly shouted while latching onto Azusa's hand.

The raven-haired girl felt her body fill up with a mixture of fear and excitement.

O-oh no, how do I tell her that I don't want to go…?

After eyeing the ride for a few more seconds, the fear overcame Azusa as she desperately tried to pull her hand out of Yui's.

"N-no, Yui-senpai, I'll stay too!" Azusa basically pleaded; she could feel her heart pounding loudly in her ears. The distant screams of the riders on the ride seemed amplified as it dawned on her that she might have to join their ranks.

At the moment where Azusa's eyes met Yui's hesitant ones, she feared that the girl would yank her along and that she would have to go. She watched Yui take in a deep breath before replying,

"…Well, let's go on it when you feel more comfortable… okay?"

With those words, Azusa could have sworn that she saw a momentary pained look in the older girl's eyes before the happiness returned. The warmth of Yui's hand remained even after the girl let go.

"Let's go Ui and Nodoka-chan! Hehe, make sure to wait for me, Azunyan!" Yui smiled, although Azusa felt that something seemed strained about it. The smile seemed off and weak since usually Yui's eyes lit up just as brightly, but this time it was just the smile that did so.

I made the right decision…

Her garnet eyes watched as the brunette grabbed onto the two girl's hands and pulled them toward the ride.

…right?

"Yui-chan, please make sure to go straight to the backstage part of the concert stage when you're done!" Mugi called out.

Azusa observed as Yui turned around and gave them a nod before waving. Her eyes met with Azusa's momentarily before taking on that pained look again and then quickly glancing away. The raven-haired girl watched the two sisters and their childhood friend as they waited near the entrance of the ride.

I feel like I should have gone, but… it's not like it matters, right?

"Come on, Azusa, let's go," Ritsu cut off her thoughts as she dragged Mio toward the stage area.

"H-hai, I'm coming," Azusa replied, her garnet eyes didn't stray from the girls at the entrance until they entered the tall structure.

As soon as she turned around and followed the blonde, her stomach began lurch unpleasantly and her heart began to ache with a weird emotion.

Why am I getting such a feeling that…something bad is going to happen today?

As she walked toward the backstage area, she recalled something that she had read about the Helter Skelter.

Didn't it say that its name means something along the lines of…disorderly haste or confusion…? That's a pretty troubling name for a ride…

Azusa glanced back at the giant high tower that led to the roller coaster, if anything the feeling in her stomach had grown worse now. At that moment, Yui's last words to her popped up in her mind.

"…Hehe, make sure to wait for me, Azunyan!" ~

A slight smile worked its way onto Azusa's face as she recalled the memory.

It must just be my hyperactive imagination… Of course nothing's going to happen! We're going to perform in 40 minutes and then hang out for the rest of the day!

The raven-haired girl smiled to herself before entering the backstage area. She glanced up at the ride for a few seconds, before shaking her head and closing the door shut behind her.

Don't worry Yui-senpai; of course I'll wait for you.

A/N: Well, what do you guys think?

I sort of wrote this a long time ago and I've wanted to continue it for a while, but I just wasn't sure! Haha, the idea for this came up when I examined the Singing! Video carefully. After noting that one of the rides said Helter Skelter, I looked it up and discovered that it is a song by the Beatles. It's a pretty interesting song and has a unique ring to it. I hope you guys liked it!

Should I continue this? I dunno, I might, but I'm curious about what you guys thought! ^_^

Reviews and criticisms are appreciated!
