Hey guys, again :D
So, I thought I'd let you guys know, I read the reviews, so I'll do my best to do what you ask of me. If you have anything you want me to change, I'll try to accommodate.
Thanks for reading guys!
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. I also don't own any types of clothing, or TV shows I use in this.
Oh yeah, and … :

"Ritsu… Ritsu… pou, Ritsu…" Akahiko said, poking the sleeping Ritsu in the cheek. "Wake up…"
"Mmm, Flutter shy?" Ritsu mumbled in her sleep. Akahiko sighed.
"Ritsu! Wake up!" Akahiko shouted in her ear. Ritsu jumped up in surprise. Her blankets fell off of her onto the ground.
"Huh? What?" Ritsu said, startled. She turned to Akahiko, who was laying in her bed.
Under her blankets.
Without his shirt on…?
Ritsu's eyes widened with fear. Akahiko wore a sly grin.
"Something wrong?" Akahiko said. "You were fantastic last night, by the way."
"No… we didn't!" Ritsu shouted, quickly moving away from him. She then noticed she was completely dressed. She glared at Akahiko. "That's not funny!"
"Yes it was," Akahiko said, slipping out of Ritsu's bed and stretching. Akahiko was actually a pretty well toned guy. He was built like Ryan Sheckler, a guy high on the list of Ritsu's hot guys, but with the hair of Bobby Mares [1]. Akahiko headed out of her room, reaching the door with two energetic steps.
"No it wasn't," Ritsu grumbled, leaving her bed. She was dressed in a cotton t-shirt and blue and red pajama pants. She stretched with a yawn, and walked out of her room. Akahiko grabbed a box of cereal and a bowl. Ritsu went into her kitchen, and grabbed the milk.
"Get me a bowl too," Ritsu said, grabbing two spoons from the sink.
"Ew, that's gross." Akahiko said, putting the cereal box on the table to get another bowl.
"I'm a bachelorette," Ritsu said, sitting at the table. "You can't expect me to keep everything clean."
"Yes, I can." Akahiko said, pushing one of the bowls to Ritsu. He poured his cereal while Ritsu poured milk in her bowl.
"Why's that?" Ritsu asked, pushing the milk across the table. Akahiko pushed the cereal box at the same time.
"Girls are supposed to be graceful, and stuff, ya know?" Akahiko said, while they both finished pouring their remaining factors of a good bowl of cereal.
"Naw, I don't know," Ritsu said, spooning some cereal in her mouth. She finished it with two bites. "When I have ever been graceful?"
"Not as long as I've known you," Akahiko said, eating his breakfast.
"We've known each other since we were born, Akahiko." Ritsu stated.
"My point exactly." Akahiko said. "You've even stolen some of my girlfriends."
"It wasn't my fault. I didn't ask for them to break up with you for me." Ritsu said, with a shrug and another spoonful of cereal.
"Besides, what are you doing living by yourself in high school? You're not even a senior yet." Akahiko said, some how already finished his cereal. He put the bowl to his lips and drank the remaining milk.
"Neither are you," Ritsu said, pointing her spoon at him.
"But I don't live alone," Akahiko said, leaning back in his chair.
"You didn't expect me to live with you, Akahiro and Kobscene… did you?" Ritsu said, raising an eyebrow at him. "I'm not that kind of girl."
"Hell if I didn't know," Akahiko said with a smile. "When's the last time you had a boyfriend, Ritsu?"
"Uh, the last time me and Kobscene dated," Ritsu said, licking some milk off her lips.
"That was, like, two years ago," Akahiko said, laughing.
"Well, you wouldn't want to date another guy after dating him," Ritsu said, with cereal in her mouth.
"Pou, I wouldn't date a guy in the first place…" Akahiko said.
"Oh really?" Ritsu said. "Guys are some fine creatures, you know."
"What about me?" Akahiko asked.
"Hmm," Ritsu said, with mock thought. She tapped her chin with her finger, her bowl only filled with small bits of cereal and sugary milk. "Naw."
"What?" Akahiko said, faking disappointment. "And I thought you thought I was hot…"
"No, you're more of a cool guy," Ritsu said with a grin.
"I'm very cool," Akahiko said, flexing. "Just call me during the summer if you need to chill out."
"Oh, I'll keep that in my mind. In the very back." Ritsu said, chugging the milk in her bowl. "Why're you in my apartment, anyways?"
"Because we have a double date." Akahiko said, standing up. "Get changed."
"What?" Ritsu said, simply.
"I met a girl at that party, you know, like a week ago." Akahiko said, scratching his head.
"Who?" Ritsu asked.
"Um, her name was… Mugi?" He said. "We met, we talked, and exchanged phone numbers. And then I asked her on a date. But she had plans with her friends that day, but she invited me along. She said I had to bring you though."
"Why? Is she interested in me?" Ritsu said, raising an eyebrow.
"I dunno," Akahiko said, with a moment of thought. "But she said you were friends with her other friend."
"What other friend?" Ritsu asked.
"Pou, I dunno Ritsu!" Akahiko grunted. "Just get changed!"
"Oi, oi, ok, ok," Ritsu said, shrugging him off. "Just wait a minute.
Ritsu stood up, and put her bowl and spoon in her over flowing sink. She headed back to her room and pulled open her dresser. She pulled out a random pair of faded orange jeans, an electric blue tank top with a yellow button up shirt, which she only buttoned half way up. She put on her favorite bright red converses and her yellow headband. She grabbed a black Volcom jacket from a hanger in her closet, and a white beanie. She placed the beanie on her head and went back out into her living room. Akahiko sat on her couch, now wearing a shirt, watching sponge bob.
"So… I put clothes on." Ritsu said.
"Oh, good, didn't want you going out naked," Akahiko said, without removing his eyes from the TV.
"Oi, let's go," Ritsu said, annoyed.
"Hey Ritsu." Akahiko said, turning to Ritsu with a serious look. "Once upon a time there was an ugly barnacle. He was so ugly that everyone died."
"What?" Ritsu said, confused for a second. "Oh, wow, spongebob, ok. Anyways, are we going? You made me change and everything."
"Didja brush your teeth?" He asked. Ritsu huffed off into the bathroom. A few minutes later she reappeared.
"There!" she shouted.
"Deodorant?" he asked, still watching TV. She stormed off into her bathroom once again.
"Ugh, there!" Ritsu said, storming back out.
"Brush your hair?" Ritsu entered and left the bathroom in under ten seconds.
"Shave?"
"I don't need to shave." Ritsu stated.
"You clearly haven't felt your legs." Akahiko said.
"You have?"
"I have." Akahiko said, still staring at the TV screen. "And you're a bit stubbly."
"I'm wearing pants, it doesn't matter." Ritsu said.
"You don't know what we're doing." Akahiko said. "It could involve take off your pants."
"What the hell would we be doing so that I would need to take off my pants?" Ritsu growled.
"Not telling." Akahiko said. Ritsu screamed and marched back into the bathroom. A few minutes later, she reappeared.
"ANYTHING ELSE?" She screamed. He finally looked away, and looked at her.
"Not bad," He said with a nod. "Pou, well, the episodes over, so we can leave. Oh wait, we don't need to."
"What…" Ritsu said, with a dumb struck look on her face.
"Yeah, we have twenty minutes." Akahiko said, laying his body across the couch. Ritsu's face darkened, and then she left the room. Akahiko listened to her walk into her bedroom, and then come back out. He looked up and squealed.
She was holding a Buddha statue, menacingly. She held it over her head, and grinned.
"So, what're we going to do for twenty minutes?" Ritsu asked.
"Uh… watch Spongebob?" he said, sheepishly.
"Wrong. We're gonna play hide and seek. I hide your body, and the police seek it." Ritsu said.
"GAAAAAAAAH!"

"Really Mugi, you could've just cancelled with me," Mio said, slightly nervous.
"No, I couldn't do that to you." Mugi said. "I made plans with you first. Besides, another person is coming."
"W-what? Another person?" Mio said. "I don't even know who the first person is!"
"If I told you, it might spoil the surprise." Mugi said, with a giggle.
"What surprise?" Mio asked, tilting her head slightly.
"I can't tell you, that would also ruin the surprise." Mugi said, giggling again. Her eyes had a familiar gleam in them.
"Ah, I should really be studying." Mio said, as they walked down the side walk. "Exams are coming up soon, and, um, I really should –"
"Exams were over two weeks ago, Mio-chan." Mugi said.
"Oh, well, college need think about?" Mio said.
"Wha…what?" Mugi said, lost.
"Eh, never mind…" Mio said, sighing in defeat.
"You shouldn't worry so much." Mugi said, smiling.
"Even if you say that, I still worry…" Mio said, turning a bit red.
"About what?" Mugi asked.
"Well… I'm not really used to guys…" Mio said, looking at the ground.
"Oh, that's it? Its fine, you don't really need to worry about that." Mugi said, the gleam returning to her eyes. She smiled confidently, as if she won a game.
"Uh, o-ok, if you say so," Mio said, sensing an ill omen. She fidgeted uncomfortably.
"So… I was wondering…" Mugi said, after a few seconds of silence. "How do you feel about Ritsu. From The Scientists."
"W-w-what do you mean?" Mio said, startled by the question. "Sh-sh-she's, um, annoying."
"I thought you guys got along well too…" Mugi slightly pouted.
"Us? Getting along?" Mio scoffed. "Not in a thousand years."
"But… you seem pretty comfortable around her." Mugi chimed in.
"Only because I forget about how nervous I am, but how aggravating she is." Mio huffed, her cheeks turning red.
In all truth, Mio was aware that she liked Ritsu, in a… romantic way. She was pretty sure Ritsu didn't like her like that, though. She just liked to tease Mio, for absolutely no reason. There was no way Mio should like someone like her, but she did.
There in lies a problem. Mio sighed. Even if she did like me back, we're both girls. Maybe… Mugi's a good friend, I should talk to her about it.
"Well… let's say, hypothetically, I did like her," Mio said, turning a bit redder. "We're both girls aren't we? Isn't that a problem?"
"How so?" Mugi asked. "I think, if there is mutual love, then the relationship can succeed."
"What if it isn't mutual?" Mio asked.
"You won't know until you asked." Mugi merely stated. "Do you want to be dressed in poetry, but dressed in imagery doesn't fit." [2]
"W-what?" Mio said, confused be Mugi's words. Mugi looked away from her.
"We should be there soon," Mugi reassured. They turned the corner and arrived at an amusement park. "Here we are! We should go find them."
"Mugi!" A voice shouted out behind them. They turned around and saw two guys running up to them. Mugi waved towards them gracefully.
"Hi," Mugi said, with a smile.
"H-h-hey," the taller boy stuttered, turning red. Mio looked at him closely before she recognized him.
"Ah!" she said, remembering who he was. "You're from The Scientists!"
"I am, thanks," He said. "The name's Akahiko."
"Wait, that doesn't mean that…" Mio glanced to the shorter person.
"What's cooking, hot stuff?" She said, grinning slyly. "Makin' something on yourself, cause you're pretty smoking."
"Mugi!" Mio hissed, turning to her, dragging her a few feet away. "Why?"
"Because you like her." Mugi said, as if it was obvious.
"No! I do not like that vulgar person!" Mio shouted.
"That's good, I don't like you either." Ritsu said, appearing next to her. "But we're stuck together for this date."
"No, I'm leaving." Mio huffed, trying to walk in the opposite direction.
"No you're not." Ritsu said, grabbing her waist. Mio yelped in surprise.
"Let go!" Mio squealed.
"No," Ritsu said, and started walking. "Wouldn't want to waste the money Tsumugi spent on this ticket, would you?"
"No," Mio sighed, ending her struggle. "Sorry Mugi…"
"Ah, it's fine, as long as you're willing to come," Mugi said, with an innocent smile. "And please, Ritsu-chan, please call me Mugi."
"Alright then Mugi, you can call me… Ritsu." Ritsu said, with a small sigh. "Can't come up with a cool nickname."
"Drunkee?" Akahiko suggested.
"No!" Ritsu shouted.
"You're a drinker?" Mio asked, raising an eyebrow. "That's not only unhealthy, but illegal."
"I don't usually, uh, not a lot, I mean, once in a while?" Ritsu said, laughing weakly.
"You don't sound very sure." Mio stated.
"So, amusement park!" Ritsu shouted, walking forward suddenly. Her arm was still attached to Mio, so Mio jolted forward.
"Let go of me!" Mio demanded.
"But you're my date." Ritsu said, pouting.
"No, I'm here with my friend." Mio said.
"I'm your friend." Ritsu reminded her.
"Uh, yes, whatever, just let go. Friends don't need to touch each other like this." Mio said, prying Ritsu's hand away from her. Ritsu let go, much to Mio's surprise.
"Anyways, let's go in now." Ritsu said, leading the group inside.

"Pou, Ritsu, why are you in such a rush?" Akahiko complained. "We have all day to go on these rides."
"But not all the good ones!" Ritsu said. "Before Mio chickens out!"
"Hey!" Mio complained. "What makes you think I'll chicken out?"
"Because it's near Halloween! There are a bunch of haunted houses, and scary rides." Ritsu said, as if it was completely obvious. "And you're clearly a scaredy cat."
"Why?" Mio growled.
"You haven't let go of Mugi since we got in. This isn't even the scary part." Ritsu said, pointing to her and Mugi's joint arms. Mio looked down, and automatically let go.
"I'm fine!" Mio said.
"Turn around." Ritsu said. Mio turned around, to see a person in a zombie costume approaching her.
"!" she screamed, jumping, and then clinging to Ritsu with tears in her eyes.
"Nice going Ritsu!" Akahiko said, with a thumbs up sign. He then lowered his voice and said to Mugi: "Ok, let's go, while they're distracted."
"Ok!" Mugi said, with a giggle. "It's going according to plan!"

"Uh, Mio… where did Akahiko and Mugi go?" Ritsu suddenly asked, noticing their absence.
"W-w-what?" Mio shouted, still clinging to Ritsu, unknowingly. "She did not!"
"She did. And so did he." Ritsu said, with a sigh. "I only came because he said he needed me here…"
"I only came because I didn't want her to waste her ticket!" Mio growled, annoyed.
"Why am I stuck with you?" Ritsu sighed. She earned herself a hit on the head. "OW! Out of everything I've said, I earned abuse from that?"
"Shut up!" Mio shouted. "So what are we supposed to do?"
"I wanna ride that." Ritsu said, pointing to the largest, scariest roller coaster in the park.
"Th-th-th-that? You wanna ride that?" Mio squealed.
"No, actually I meant you," Ritsu said, with a grin. It was erased with a grimace of pain. "Ah, geez, you're so violent!"
"You're too vulgar," Mio retorted. Ritsu was tempted to hit Mio, but she held it back.
"Ok, well bye." Ritsu said, walking towards the roller coaster. Mio ignored her, and started walking in the opposite direction, when she felt a hand on her shoulder.
"Hmph, what do you wa-" Mio started, as she turned around. Behind her was yet another zombie. She screamed, in a high-pitched girly voice, and ran to where Ritsu was. She clung onto her arm, earning a confused grunt from the tomboy-ish girl.
"Oi, I thought you didn't want to hang out with me anymore." Ritsu said, snickering.
"Th-th-th-th-that's not f-f-f-funny, and I d-d-d-don't!" Mio stammered, in anger and fear.
"That's a shame, I was looking forward to hanging out with you," Ritsu said, detaching Mio. "Well, I'll talk to you some other time."
"NO!" Mio shouted, grabbing her again. "Do not leave me in this place by myself."
"You could just leave," Ritsu said, pointing to the exit. Zombies stood in the way. "…Or not."
"I don't care where we go, just don't leave me," Mio whimpered. Ritsu almost felt herself melt.
Ritsu didn't really want to admit it, but she had some what fallen for this girl. They'd only met twice, and didn't get along great, but there was something about her that made Ritsu feel the need to be with her. Her heart felt strange when she was away from her, and even stranger when they were. She didn't think she was necessarily in love with Mio, but she felt something for her.
Well, actually, maybe she was in love with her. Just a little bit though. They were total opposites, how could they even work? And Mio probably didn't like her back, at all. She probably didn't even want to be friends. Still, she roamed her mind, tickling her thoughts with weird manners. Ritsu had even dreamed about her once or twice, but she was usually hit at least twice in both of them. She even had a dream where they went to the same high school, and they had been child hood friends. They entered high school together, and started a band with their K-ON club. And then they went to the same college and the other two girls in their grade.
So, of course Ritsu wasn't going to leave her. Ritsu snickered.
"As if I would," Ritsu said, with a smile. "Couldn't leave a scardey cat like you by herself, in a place like this at least."
"I am not a scardey c-"
"Mhhhhhhhhggggggggaaaaaa…" a zombie moaned next to her. Mio screamed, and turned blank paper white.
"Sorry, dude, not this one. You're gonna kill her." Ritsu said, laughing.
He gave a small nod, and shuffled in the other direction.
"Oh c'mon, it wasn't that bad," Ritsu said, feeling her arm go numb. "Look, he went away."
"H-h-how can you j-j-just talk to it n-n-normally?" Mio half whispered, half shrieked. Ritsu looked at her, surprised a bit by the noise she managed to make. Then she laughed, and started dragging her some where.
"The power of love?" Ritsu asked, turning red from what she said.
"Uh, no." Mio said, looking at her weirdly.
"Oh, come on. My hearts a stereo." Ritsu said.
"What?" Mio said, wondering where that came from.
"It beats for you, so listen close." Ritsu continued saying, looking straight ahead, with Mio just obediently walking with her, looking at the ground.
"Hear my thoughts in every note," Ritsu said, chuckling slightly. "Make me your radio, turn me up when you feel low. This melody was meant for you, just sing along to my stereo."
"Is that a song?" Mio asked.
"I don't know is it?" Ritsu said, still looking forward. An amused look came over her face.
"It is isn't it?" Mio said.
"Hmmm… I believe it is." Ritsu said, walking steadily.
"Is it one of yours?" Mio asked, curious.
"No, it's by Gym Class Heroes." Ritsu stated.
"Oh…" Mio said. Suddenly, it was completely dark. "Where are we?"
"Oh, no where." Ritsu purred, entertained.
"I swear to god, Ritsu I will cu-" Suddenly there was a flash of light, and what looked to be a body axed and body. The head was missing.
"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Mio screamed, holding onto Ritsu. "Ididn'tseeit Ididn'tseeitIdidn'tseeitIdidn'tseeitIdidn'tseeitIdidn'tseeitIdidn'tseeitIdidn'tseeitIdidn'tseeit."
"Yes you did." Ritsu said.
"S-s-s-s-s-s-s-shut up!" Mio shouted. There was another flash of light in the same direction. The only difference was that the body was gone, all but the head.
"Ritsu!" Mio hissed. "Where did it go?"
"What?" Ritsu asked, starting to walk again.
"Tt-t-t-t-t-the body!" Mio screeched.
"Oh, that, how would I know? I didn't make the ride." Ritsu said, with a shrug. She was thoroughly enjoying the way Mio squeezed herself against Ritsu's arm. She smiled, satisfied. "Are you scared?"
"Idiot!" Mio hissed. "You know I am! I hate you for taking me on this! How did you get me in here without me noticing? I hate myself for not seeing where you were taking me! God I can't take this! Get me out of here! Now! Come on!"
"Calm down." Ritsu simply said. "I wouldn't let anything hurt you, would I?"
"I wouldn't put it past – KYAAAA!" Mio screamed, as the body reappeared in the different place, now standing. It slowly turned towards them, and walked. Then the light disappeared.
"Where is it? Is it coming over here?" Mio hissed, silently. Ritsu wrapped her arm around Mio's shoulder, and brought her closer to her body. Ritsu grinned.
"Gah, what are you doing?" Mio growled. "This is not the place to be pulling a move on me."
"Why not?" Ritsu asked, slightly disappointed.
"Wait, are you seriously trying to?" Mio asked, looking up at her.
"What if I was?" Ritsu asked. She chuckled as Mio turned red.
"Uh, I-i-i-i-i don't know." Mio said, suddenly feeling nervous.
"Oh? Flustered? Are you interested in me?" Ritsu asked, raising an eyebrow. "So you lied earlier about not liking me?"
"No? Why would I like some like you?" Mio shouted, temporarily forgetting the situation.
"So if I kissed you, you'd pull away?" Ritsu asked.
"Yes!" Mio said, glaring at her.
"Hmm…" Ritsu hummed happily.
"Wha-" Mio was cut off as Ritsu planted her own lips on to Mio's. Mio didn't pull away, but her eyes were wide open. Mio stood motionlessly, shocked. Ritsu put her arms around her waist, and disconnect their mouths. Suddenly, Mio reached hers arms around her neck, and pulled Ritsu to her mouth and closed her eyes. It was a little awkward, as Mio was actually an inch taller than Ritsu.
After a few seconds they separated, both panting slightly.
"Hmm, it only took two chapters?" Ritsu asked herself.
"What?" Mio said, looking at her weirdly.
"Huh? Oh, nothing, just breaking the fourth wall," Ritsu said, with a smile.
"Wh-" Mio started. Suddenly, she felt something breathing on her neck.
"Ky….!" Mio screamed, flinging herself around Ritsu's neck. Ritsu looked over her to see the "headless" man, standing over them with an axe. Ritsu grinned slightly, and pat Mio's back.
"Stand back Mio! I'll handle it!" Ritsu shouted, heroically. She pushed Mio behind her slightly. Ritsu mouthed the words "Roll with it" to the "headless" man. He nodded, in agreement.
"Back! How dare you scare my Mio!" Ritsu shouted, holding her fists up. The axe came down towards her, a little slowly, so that Ritsu could react. She reached up and grabbed it. She then "punched" the "headless" man in the stomach, making him fall to the ground and let go of the axe. Ritsu then "kicked" the man in the stomach, earning a grunt of "pain".
"And stay down!" Ritsu shouted, grabbing Mio's hand. "Quickly! Before he gets back up!"
Ritsu sprinted, with Mio in tow. They ran out towards the light, which blinded them for a few seconds. Mio was shivering in fear, clinging to Ritsu's middle. Ritsu pet her hair, as they walked over to sit on a bench.
"Hey, you ok?" Ritsu asked, concerned a bit.
"No! I am not! Why did you take me in there?" Mio shouted.
"Because, I thought you'd be cute scared?" Ritsu said, hoping to earn points. She failed.
"WHAT? THAT'S WHY?" Mio shouted. A few people turned to see what was going down, and Ritsu looked down sheepishly.
"I love you," Ritsu said, looking up at her with puppy dog eyes.
"DO YOU THINK THAT'S GOING TO MAKE ME ANY LESS ANGRY?" Mio shouted. She took a gulp, turning red. "Well, um, it's not…"
"I'm sorry."
"As long as you know what you did was, uhm, bad?" Mio said, in a lighter voice.
"You're easy to read," Ritsu said, with a smile.
"I am not!" Mio growled. Ritsu then stood up quickly, to kiss Mio.
"You are." Ritsu simply stated, and held Mio's hand.
