First Dreams(And Nightmares) [Prologue]
I only own this story; everything else that's mentioned here is from their respected owners. Thank you and please[try and] enjoy the fan fiction...
It was just another day in the Light Music Club for the After School Tea Time girls. Although despite the fact that they barely practice, they still play and get along really well. As soon as they first enter the clubroom, they usually unpack their instruments, settle down, and have some cake and tea(that their friend Kotobuki Tsumugi brings over) and just chat the day away. But today, was sort of different. Today, they weren't just there to eat cake, drink tea, and goof off.
Nanako Azusa had just gotten a text message on her phone telling her to meet up in the Light Music Club, which was pretty pointless considering that she almost always goes there after school. After saying good-bye to two of her friends Ui and Jun, she rushes off to where her other friends her in the Light Music Club. As she walks up the stairs that lead toward the club, she could snippets of some people talking in there. Hmm, that must be her other friends, talking about something nonsensical while they were waiting for her to arrive up top.
Azusa finally reaches the door and opens it; she sees the other girls' instruments that are laid beside the door. And across from there, she sees her other friends all sitting in a table, having some of Tsumugi's cake and delicious tea. When they see that Azusa has arrived at last, they greet her with some friendly smiles-Hirasawa Yui especially.
"Azu-nyan, you finally made it!" Yui cried. She ran over and hugged the poor girl before she had any time to even put her Fender Mustang Electric Guitar down. "Azu-nyan where have you been all my life? I missed you so much!"
"Whoa hey, knock it off Yui-senpai! It's not like I was in a war or anything, so can you just, relax? Let me go at least?"
"But I don't want to yet!"
"You heard her Yui, let her go." Akiyama Mio called from across the room, which made Yui do a pout-y face.
"If you don't hurry back here, you'll miss out on the cake..." Tsumugi says while lifting up a plate of delicious strawberry cheese cake.
And just like that, the brown eyed girl let go of Azusa and ran back to the table in order to take another piece of the scrumptious cake.
"Hey Azu-nyan," Yui began while turning towards the pig-tailed girl. "You should try some of these, they're really good!"
"Don't call me that." Azusa just sighed, why even bother telling her to stop that if she knows it won't happen.
She walks on over-but not before putting her guitar down, and has some cake and tea. Just then, she realized something. "Hey, what about that text message that you guys sent to me?" While talking, Yui puts some cake into her mouth and the taste of it made her giddy for a while.
The other girl, Tainaka Ritsu laughed to herself, for whatever reason. "We'd figure you would mention that a bit sooner..."
'Yep, she was the one who had sent it to me, I just know it.' "We?"
"That's right we!" Ritsu got up from the table and declared, "Me and Yui have been planning on this for quite some time, and now that you're all gathered here, we can finally announce it to you..."
'Whoa, they must mean business!'
Ritsu raises her hand and then announces: "Someone makes up an idea for this year's party!"
Cue Mio and Azusa face faulting. "That's your idea?" Mio asked.
"You mean you didn't know yet Mio-senpai?"
"Well, I knew it was going to be a stupid idea but they insisted that I 'hear it' first or something like that."
"Now, your mission, if you choose to accept it:" Yui gets up and brings and moves the draw board up a little closer for everyone to see. It was starting to get more like a business meeting almost. "Think up a spectacular way to celebrate the very last days of this year and end them off in a bang! This is a once in a lifetime opportunity; it may never happen again."
'May never happen again?' Azusa thought, could this be the last time that they'll celebrate a new year together? She apparently thought so.
"Hmm, I don't know..." Mio started off, but got interrupted by Azusa's sudden outburst.
"I'll do it!"
"Whoa, that was unexpected."
"I'm in too," Tsumugi replied, "This seems like it's gonna be fun."
"I'm also in!" Yui declared.
"But didn't you already say that you were in?" Mio protested. She also seemed to notice that everyone was staring at her, waiting to hear her response. 'Please stop staring...' "Well, I guess if everyone wants to do this..." She starts off but her voice trails off afterwards. So she raises her hand instead, and the other girls cheer in response.
"Alright, now let's see what you guys can think of by the end of the day!" Ritsu concluded.
"Oui!" The other girls agreed.
"I got an idea..." Yui responded quickly.
'Whoa, speedy.'
"So, what IS your idea Miss. Hirasawa?"
"Let's stay here and eat cake and tell stories." She replied giggling.
The other girls sighed in disbelief. Whelp, that's Yui in a nutshell for ya.
Just then, their adviser Yamanaka Sawako comes in through the door, looking all tired and pale. "Sorry, I'm late..." She panted.
The HTT members have confused looks on their faces. "Ano, mind if you had told us where you were?" Tsumugi kindly asks.
"Yes." She bluntly replied.
"Oh."
"Hey Sawa-chan, do you want to help us think of a way that can end the year in a bang?"
Sawako thought about that for a moment-before taking a piece of the cake- and then replied yes. "Actually, I already have a suggestion in mind, if you girls would like to hear it..."
The five of them leaned a bit closer towards her as she starts talking about what they should do.
A while after, the other girls have thought up some ideas of their own, and then they finally had their schedule planned out.
"Alright," Ritsu says excitingly, "Now that we have our schedule planned out, we can get ready and start on it all tomorrow!"
"Yay!" Yui cheers in response. "I'll go and text Nodoka-chan and Ui-chan about the plans right away."
"You mean you hadn't done that before?" Azusa asks curiously.
"Hai, I want this to be a surprise for them."
"But the surprise would be ruined if you just tell them."
"Oh yeah..."
Then, Ritsu comes up with another 'bright' idea. She whispers into Yui's ear and says "Hey Yui, why don't you just HINT about the plans and try and make them guess."
"Ohhh, you mean like a secret ninja!"
"Er, no. I meant more like a detective, or joker."
"Ohhh, a detective joker ninja. Just like Solid Snake!"
Mio sweat drops while looking at the two buffoons. 'Honestly, do they really expect us to not hear them?'
"My, this sounds like a splendid idea." Tsumugi says as she starts texting on her phone, "I'm going to text to my parents about what I'll be doing for this week, in secret."
"Like a detective ninja joker snake!?"
"Okay that's enough cake for you Yui." Mio waves her hands in a negative-like fashion and takes the plate away from her.
"Nooo, not my cake!"
"Yes, your cake. Your getting any more until you learn to behave and mature."
"But Mio-senpai when does she ever-"
"I'm mature, and eating your cake!"
"Hey, that's mine!"
"Not anymore..."
"So, um, shall we get ready?" Ritsu asks the team, so which they all nod in reply. "Then let's go and make this our best one yet!"
"OUI!"
"...Or at least, try to anyways..."
"Oui...?"
And as such, days went by as the gang all did crazy stuff together. They eventually go spend the last day and the last few hours at Yui's place [yet again]. Ui made the meals, [of course] and they all decided to spend the rest of the year chatting.
And as the clock struck out twelve, so did everybody else, everybody except for Ritsu and Mio. "Aw come on," Ritsu whined, "Can't you guys just stay awake for once and witness the glory of The New Year?"
"Oh come now, they've already been through a lot this past week, thanks to you no less..." Mio replied, muttering the last part to her.
The golden-eyed girl turned toward her and gave her a 'did-you-say-something?' look. Mio just brushed it off saying that she didn't say anything after that.
"Anyways, we should all get some rest. Like I said, they had a long week, and so have we. And we've already stayed up till midnight so what's the point in staying up any later?"
Ritsu yawned in response. "Yeah, I guess you do have a good point there."
Mio nods and they turn off the TV, lay down on the floor, turn off the lights, and hit the sack.
AN: Yeah, your probably wondering what those ideas were and why I left the part where they were 'going to have as much fun as they can before the year is over' out. Well, I wanted to leave that in for another Fan Fic that I'll be doing later on. I know that seems lazy and dumb of me, and I'm sorry about that, but you'll have to wait a while before I get into that. Besides, I don't think I can fit it all in without making the Prologue EXTREMELY long, and that isn't what this story is about anyway (That'll start to happen in the next chapter). So, yeah, that's about it I guess. Hope ya liked it; constructive criticism is always welcome if needed :3
