Yo.

Angel Beats oneshots! OHMAHGAWD! Probably mostly about GlDeMo cuz they're just about the most amazing part of the anime and beyond. I really hate how they just picked off Iwasawa in the third episode, why couldn't they have made some other insignificant character go? Anyways, enjoy!

Don't own Angel Beats or GlDeMo.

How Sekine and Irie joined the band

One day, Shiori Sekine opened her eyes to find herself lying on the ground in the middle of the night, staring up at a moonlit sky. She was behind a few bushes, next to a pile of leaves.

She rolled her head. "Wait… where am I?" she thought. She sat up quickly, and looked down at herself. She was wearing a white uniform with a black skirt and thigh-high white socks.

"Weird… I don't remember putting this on…" she thought to herself. She got up and brushed herself off. She shook her long blonde hair out and stretched. The blonde haired prankster looked around her and scrunched her eyebrows in thought.

"Huh… So this is a school? Well, that would explain the uniform…" she mused. She started to walk, and took a single step, then stopped.

Two girls ran up to the bushes she woke up behind and scrambled behind next to her. One had short red hair, with two locks in front extending down longer than the rest of her hair, and dark red eyes with a slight pink hue. She was wearing the same uniform as Sekine was, except she had on black calf-high boots instead of the normal shoes, her uniform's sleeves were rolled up, and she had two black sweatbands on her wrists.

The other was also wearing the same uniform, but her white socks only came up to her calves. She was wearing the normal school shoes, and her uniform's sleeves were also rolled up. She had long brunette hair that she had in a ponytail, and silver/grey eyes.

They were both panting heavily, and looked like they were being chased. Sekine was still standing, staring at the two with wide eyes. She started to say "Hey, what's goi-!"

The brunette grabbed her hand and pulled her down between her and the other girl.

"Shhh! They'll hear you!" she whisper-yelled.

Sekine started to loudly protest "Who's gonna hea-!"

The girl clamped a hand over her mouth. Sekine started to struggle, but couldn't verbally protest. Then two teachers ran by, panting.

"Where'd those two punks go?" asked one, leaning on his knees trying to regain his breath.

"Beats me. Come on, we better go find them." said the other, and they took off running again.

The brunette girl carefully released Sekine and grinned at her, relieved.

"That was a close one." mused the redhead, not fazed at all by the turmoil of events.

"Wait a sec! What's going on here? And who are you two?" she asked, standing up and pointing at the duo.

"Yo. Nice to meet you. I'm Iwasawa." The redhead smiled at her while introducing herself.

"Name's Hisako. Nice to meet you as well." said the brunette, who flashed her a grin.

"What's your name?" she asked the rather confused blonde.

"...Sekine. Or something like that. But can you tell me where I am?" she asked again.

Iwasawa answered. "You're here with us, so you must be dead."

Sekine stared at her. "Excuse me?"

Hisako said "This is the afterlife. If you're here, you must be dead, right?"

Sekine furrowed her brow in thought. Then, a rush of memories came back to her. Her, the fire, Miyukichi… her eyes widened.

"MIYUKICHI! I HAVE TO SAVE HER!" Sekine shrieked and shot up like a rocket. Iwasawa, startled, fell back, and landed on her butt.

"Wait, hold on just a sec. Who's Miyukichi?" asked Hisako, grasping her wrist. Sekine proceeded to explain everything in a rush, about how her mother died when she was young, her father was at work, and Miyukichi's parents were on a business trip, then the gas leak, then the fire that she assumed killed her and Miyukichi.

Iwasawa regained her balance, then asked "Your friend's name is really Miyukichi, or is that some sort of nickname?"

"It's a nickname. Her real name is Miyuki Irie. I have to make sure she's alright!" Sekine explained franticly, then attempted to run off. Hisako yanked her back. "Let go of me! I have to go right now!" Sekine cried, trying to pry the other girl's fingers off her wrist.

"Wait! I think we know where your friend is! I'm pretty sure she's in the next class!" said Hisako, shooting Iwasawa a glance. "Your friend… Does she have long purple hair? Pretty shy, a nice girl?"

Sekine whirled around to face them, her eyes wide. "YES! Do you know where I can find her?" she asked.

"Sure, but it's late and I'm pretty sure she's sleeping right now. You should try to get some sleep too. Are you hungry?" asked Iwasawa gently, laying her hand on Sekine's knee, remembering the time she went without food for about a week when she was writing Crow Song, then passed out.

Sekine sighed, tired and defeated. "A little… this is a lot to take in…" she murmured, slumping her shoulders. Oh well. At least she knew Miyukichi was safe. Iwasawa smiled at her tenderly and got up. Hisako did as well, holding out her hand to Sekine.

"Come with us, we have some food you can have. And we'll help you find your friend first thing in the morning, kay?" grinned the brunette flashing a thumbs-up. Sekine smiled gratefully at the two and took Hisako's hand.

"Thank you." She yawned, and went with the two back to Iwasawa's room.

The next morning…

Sekine opened her eyes to find herself in a sunlit room, in a bed. She was wearing her uniform, and her long blonde hair was splayed out beneath her. She sat up in a daze, looking around her. Iwasawa was hunched over a table, writing something furiously, and Hisako had her feet propped up on a table, a book in one hand, and a juice box in the other. She looked up at Sekine. "Oh good, you're up. You passed out once we entered the room, so I threw you on the bed and let you sleep. We slept in my dorm room. Want food?" she asked, throwing Sekine a wrapped thingy of bread and a bottle of water. Sekine caught them, and simply stared at the brunette. Hisako grinned her catlike grin at her and winked.

"This chick is crazy!" thought Sekine to herself, as she started to open the snack. "Thanks, by the way. You really didn't have to let me sleep here. But I really appreciate it though." Sekine thanked them.

Iwasawa sat up straight and stretched. She put down her pencil, and walked over to sit on the end of the bed Sekine was currently sitting in.

"How do you feel? Did you sleep well last night?" she asked with a warm smile. Sekine stretched.

"A little beat. But I'm okay." She replied to the other girl.

Iwasawa grinned a little. "Overwhelmed?"

Sekine cast a pointed glance at Hisako. "Just a little." She replied dryly.

Iwasawa chuckled. "Don't mind Hisako, she can be a little forward. I would know, she was the one who explained the whole "dead" scenario to me when I first got here."

Sekine blushed slightly. "At least this one's normal." She sighed inwardly with relief.

"Shuddup Iwasawa." Said Hisako as she chucked a cushion at the redhead, who swiftly caught it.

Iwasawa laughed as she set the cushion to the side. "It's true though Hisako." She said bluntly.

Hisako groaned, and went back to loudly (and rather rudely) slurping her juice. Iwasawa chuckled slightly at her best friend, and turned back to Sekine.

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot, we're gonna help you look for your friend today." mused Hisako thoughtfully from across the small dorm room.

"Speaking of which, aren't you guys late for class?" asked Sekine, who had recently finished the snack Hisako gave her and was sipping water from the bottle.

"Yeah, but no one cares except for the student council prez, and she won't come after us if we're in our rooms at this time, she has to be in class until lunch.

Sekine shot up, choking on her water. "YES THAT'S RIGHT! MIYUKICHI!" she managed to get out before lapsing into a coughing fit.

Iwasawa patted her back until she stopped coughing. "Easy, easy, we'll get going right away. Lunch break's in a few minutes, do you want to wash up before we get going?" she asked.

Sekine thanked her and washed up as best as she could in the bathroom. When she came out, Hisako had her shoes on, and Iwasawa was pulling on her right boot.

"Come on Sekine let's go." Hisako opened the door and proceeded to flounce out. Iwasawa turned to grin at Sekine.

"Let's go. What class are you in? she asked, locking the door behind her.

Sekine looked thoughtful. "Class 2-B." she responded, wondering how she knew that.

"Okay, so we'll start there I guess." Iwasawa nodded. "But Hisako and I are in 3-A."

Sekine grinned back, happy to be in the same class as her friend. Well, hopefully it was her friend. Then she realized something.

"Wait, so you guys are older than me? I'm so sorry senpai's!" Sekine exclaimed, bowing quickly.

"No need for that. We're friends right?" Iwasawa assured her. Hisako looked over her shoulder and smiled warmly at Sekine.

"We're here!" Hisako chirped cheerfully, and flung the classroom door open, strolling in like she owned the place.

"Man, she's hot." Said one boy as Hisako breezed past him.

"Tell me about it man, you see a chick like that once in a lifetime!" said one of his friends.

"Although she doesn't seem to come to class that often, does she?" asked another boy.

"No, her and her friend don't show up all that often. The student council president is always on their case, and they always seem to have teachers running after them." Responded another.

"Aren't they a year older than us? So that makes them our senpai's you know." a boy with short black hair frowned.

"Say, have any of you noticed that her friend's hot too?" said a boy with black hair, stealing a glance at Iwasawa. One of his friends turned to watch Hisako's back walking away from them, her ponytail swinging side to side.

"Oh yeah, totally. Hey, who do they have with them?"

Heads turned to stare at the brunette, who didn't seem to notice. Iwasawa and Sekine followed behind her, and the whispers started.

"So you and Hisako are pretty popular with the guys huh?" asked Sekine, a bit of her true mischievous personality starting to sink in.

"What?" asked the redhead, searching the heads of the classroom for her friend.

"You two are popular with the guys in this... world?" Sekine repeated.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Iwasawa asked curiously.

Sekine gawked at the redhead who didn't seem to notice. How could she not, considering what those boys just said about her?

"Hey Sekine, Iwasawa, over here!" called Hisako, who was standing next to a girl with long lavender hair eating sushi and staring up at Hisako with wide frightened lavender eyes.

Sekine felt her own eyes widen, and she rushed over to the girl. "MIYUKICHI IS THAT REALLY YOU?" she shrieked, slamming her hands down on the poor girl's desk.

The girl's face broke out in a large smile of recognition and she jumped up squealing "SHIORIN! IT'S REALLY YOU! IT'S REALLY ME TOO!" she tackled her in a bone-crushing hug, with her surprising strength.

Iwasawa smiled happily, and Hisako was watching the scene with entertainment.

Sekine turned to the two and said "Thank you so much senpai's!" and Irie nodded her head enthusiastically in agreement.

Hisako and Iwasawa nodded in return and quietly slipped away while Sekine and Irie were busy pelting each other with questions and hugs.

"I'm glad we were able to help them." Said Hisako.

"Yeah, definitely. Now about the song I was writing, I'm almost done, I just need a title and a few more lines…" Iwasawa droned on about her newest masterpiece. Hisako sighed. "It would be nice to have a bassist and a drummer though. We could do so much more!"

Iwasawa nodded in agreement. "Although I'm not quite sure how to write a drum part..."

"Hey, can we go to the music room after classes? I want to play the drums, and they have a bass there too…" said Irie, looking at her friend with wide purple eyes.

"Yeah, in fact, let's go there now! I haven't played bass in such a long time." Sekine replied enthusiastically.

The two walked off to the music room, and Irie sat down at her drums, and Sekine grabbed the white bass and plugged it in, tuning it carefully.

"I must admit, I'm still not very good at playing." Said Sekine with an embarrassed laugh.

"You can improvise pretty well, so it doesn't matter. Come on just play." Irie brushed it off. She then proceeded to play a rather complicated beat, and Sekine had to speed-improvised to keep up with her.

Then the door burst open, and Hisako fell in, Iwasawa right behind her. Sekine and Irie stopped playing abruptly. Hisako got up, and pointed at the two.

"You…you play bass? And you play drums?" she asked, panting slightly. Iwasawa stood up as well, awaiting their answer.

"Um… yeah… Is something wrong?" asked the newly found-out bassist frowning slightly.

"NO NOTHING AT ALL!" exclaimed the brunette, scrutinizing them carefully.

"I must admit though, I'm not very good." Said Sekine sheepishly.

"Hey, how would you two feel about joining our band?" asked Iwasawa suddenly. Hisako nodded in agreement.

"A… band? Us? Both?" asked Irie in surprise.

"Yup. Both of you. Irie as the drummer, and Sekine as bassist." Said Hisako.

"You see, we formed a duo sort of, but we can actually form a proper band with a drummer and bassist." said Iwasawa.

"How about it?"

Sekine frowned in thought. "But I'm not that great at bass at all. In fact, I started about three months ago. My dad taught me. And what do you two play anyways?" she asked.

Hisako answered. "We both play guitar, and Iwasawa sings. She's not terrible I guess. It would be great if you two joined us. Although we don't have a name yet. And I can help you with your bass playing. If you know guitar, you pretty much know the basic of bass and I've been playing a lot of styles for pretty much my whole life so I can help you if you need it."

Irie was silent, thinking for a few minutes, then she nodded. "Okay, I'll join." She agreed and smiled shyly. "I have nothing to loose from it."

"Really? That's great! And you?" asked Hisako, turning back to Sekine.

Sekine hesitated for a bit, then nodded. "Sure. Since Miyukichi's joining, I guess I have nothing to lose too. But I'm warning you again, I'm not that great."

Hisako shrugged it off. "You sounded pretty good when we heard you guys playing just now. Well, meet us here after school, and we'll get started!"

Iwasawa grinned at both of them. "It's good to have you two in the band. Hope you grow to like it."

Sekine and Irie grinned at the two of them, then headed back to class.

I guess I'll do how they join up with Yurippe's SSS next. Maybe. Hope you enjoyed this chapter, although the ending wasn't the best. Sorry about that, I'm not that good at endings, hope I'll get better as I start writing more. Flames, reviews, follows, all that jazz is appreciated.
