THUMP! "Ouch…" Tsuchiura and Hino rubbed their heads straightening their selves. "What just happened?" Tsuchiura muttered cursing silently. "ARE YOU OKAY, HINO-CHAN, Ryo?!" Suddenly they heard a yell. Hino rubbed her eyes. She tried to recognize the figure in front of them. Seeing the figure's caring smile and how he said 'Hino-chan…', Hino curved a reassuring smile. They stood up as they replied, "Uhm… Yeah, we're okay, Hihara…!!!" Their eyes widened when they saw the person. 金色のコルダ -------- Second Mistake: The Party Hino and Tsuchiura stared. And stared and stared. They blinked, rubbed their eyes, and even smacked their head, wondering what had gotten into them. They frowned, observing the person in front of them from head to toe. "Ano…who are you?" Finally, Hino spoke up. He frowned, then turned to worried face, "Are you really okay, Hino-chan, Ryo?! You were asking such a weird question! You didn't hit your head, right?" He began to check their heads, making sure they were okay. Tsuchiura grabbed his hand and pushed it away from himself, "I'm perfectly okay! I should be the one asking. Are you okay? Did you eat something weird?" The guy frowned and then chuckled, "Of course I am! What are you talking about?" Hino and Tsuchiura knitted their brows in confusion. Soon, someone yelled, taking the other person's attention. "Tsukimori-senpai! Did you find them?!" Again, Hino and Tsuchiura blinked for nth time that night. "Yeah! They're here, Shimizu-kun!" Tsukimori, the same person standing in front of them, called waving at his kouhai. The dazed musicians watched the blonde-haired boy making his way to them. He arrived panting but still smiled angelically, "Yokatta…" Hino and Tsuchiura were still out of it until their kouhai spoke again, "Geez! Don't do this next time! You made us worried!" Shimizu scolded. They were shocked surprised before replying, "So-Sorry…" Tsukimori sighed smiling, "Maa, maa, Shimizu… At least they're okay. Now, could you please tell the others that we've found them?" The bluenette said, smiling sweetly. "Ah, yeah… Okay." Shimizu nodded and then took his cell phone. He distanced himself a bit from his senpai as he began talking through the phone. "Now…" Tsukimori turned to the dazed people, offering his hands. The male violinist frowned when his friends didn't respond, "Hino-chan? Ryo?" Hino and Tsuchiura jerked, facing the violinist, "Huh…?" Again, Tsukimori offered his hands forward, signaling them to get up. Hino quickly took it as Tsuchiura got up on his feet by himself. After making sure Hino was already standing, the other violinist turned to his kouhai, "What did they say, Shimizu-kun?" "Ah… They're waiting inside." Shimizu replied, returning to his senpai-tachi. "Sokka… Ja, let's go Ryo, Hino-chan." Tsukimori smiled widely, leading them. --- Now, have you counted how many times Hino and Tsuchiura blinked today? 'Cause, now they can't blink. They stared, shocked at the people in front of them. The green-haired trumpeter was staring at them with annoyance as his friend looked at them displeased. "You know what?" The purple-haired guy started. "I hate wasting my time." Hihara stated annoyed. "Maa… Senpai, they didn't do anything wrong so…" "Tsukimori, stay out of this." Yunoki glared at the bluenette. "But there's no need to make it complicated." Tsukimori argued. "Tsukimori-senpai is right. Why don't we go back to our table and have a toast?" Shimizu suggested. Yunoki and Hihara let out a sigh before turning their heel, "Alright." They made their way to their table, occupying all the seats. They were welcomed by their cheerful sensei. "Oh my God! Tsuchiura! Hino! Where have you been my youthful students?! I was worried!" Kanazawa yelled out frantically, hugging the surprised Second years. "Kanayan… They can't breathe…" Tsukimori sweatdropped. Kanazawa quickly released them, "Oh, I'm so sorry my youthful students!" Hino and Tsuchiura only nodded blankly. They then sat down following the others. Tsukimori was the first one to raise his glass, "Cheers!" He yelled out as the group soon followed. "Cheers!" --- A blue-haired guy stared in confusion at place in front him. It was glowing very brightly before that it actually almost blinded him. Then the next thing he heard was a `thump' and a voice. He made his way at a slow pace, alert at the thought of what he might encounter. His face turned into that of mild annoyance as soon as he brushed the bushes out of his sight. There were his two new classmates rubbing their heads in pain. "What are you two doing here?" He interrogated. The pianist tilted his head, looking at his friend, "Ah, Len!" Tsukimori twitched, 'What did just he call me?' The bluenette jerked when the pianist suddenly stood up, followed by the female violinist. "Listen! Listen!" Tsuchiura yelled, shaking his friend in enthusiasm. "There was a black hole!" The pianist yelled happily. The male violinist raised his eyebrow in disbelief, 'Is he crazy or what?' "No! It wasn't a black hole. More like… Something similar to a blackhole!" The pianist continued ignoring the confusion showing on the violinist's face. "Whatever you say." Tsukimori replied. "Ha! Your face tells me that you don't believe me!" Tsuchiura pointed out yelling. "It's really true! Right, Hino?" Tsuchiura added turning to his female companion. "H-Hai…" Hino replied meekly. "There was a huge mirror, then it suddenly glowed and a black hole sucked us in!" Tsuchiura eagerly explained. "Oh, yeah?" Tsukimori responded in disbelief. "Now, could you tell me where the mirror is?" Tsuchiura yelled out pointing behind him, "There!" Tsukimori's eyes followed his fingers but found nothing. "…" Tsuchiura was also speechless when he found there was nothing behind him and Hino. "Eh?! That's odd! It was there before!!" The bluenette let out a sigh and composed himself, "Okay, Tsuchiura. I understand your hobby sleeping outside. But I don't have time to listen to your dream. Let's go back inside." He said as he turned his heel, leading them. "Matte, Len! It's the truth!" Tsuchiura called, hoping for his friend to stop and listen to him. But he kept walking until he saw their kouhai making his way to them. "Ah… So you've found them, Tsukimori-senpai?" Shimizu asked sleepily. Tsukimori nodded, "Where are the others?" "I think… They're inside…" the blonde-haired cellist said. And the group went inside. --- As soon as they entered the hall, they were greeted with worried faces. "Hino!" "S-Sorry… minna…" Hino apologized timidly. "Well… it's alright, you're okay at least." Hihara sighed in relief. "Yeah… now, would the VIP guests please return to their seats." Kanazawa said sarcastically, rubbing his head lazily. "Hahaha, Kanayan… that word doesn't suit you!" Hihara laughed following his sweatdropping sensei. --- Back to Parallel World "Hino-chan? Hi. no. chan?" Tsukimori waved his hand in front of the female violinist. He had been calling her for a while and there was still no response from the girl. He got even more anxious, seeing her staring blankly. "Hino!" Tsuchiura finally yelled out. "Huh?" She said as she snapped out of it. "Ah…daijoubu desu ka, Hino-chan?" The other violinist asked worriedly. "Ah… hai…" Hino replied nodding. "But, you don't look like you're alright, senpai." Shimizu added. "I don't care if you like spacing out, senpai, but please, I don't want to have a moody atmosphere around me when I'm eating." Fuyuumi added sarcastically. Hino only nodded faintly before she was again lost in her thoughts. 'Where am I exactly???' She yelled out mentally, trying to look okay. She took a glance, staring at the green-haired pianist who somehow could have a normal talk with the strangers. She moved a little, making sure it was close enough for the pianist to hear her. "Ne, Tsuchiura-kun." She called taking the other's attention. "Nanda?" "Don't you feel… somewhat… weird?" She pointed out. "Eh? But you act like you aren't." Tsuchiura turned to her, facing her, "They'll get anxious if we look confused. Let's think about it later and get along with it." Hino nodded. She took a glance again at everyone in the table. The annoyed Hihara-senpai who was eating silently with Yunoki-senpai; the cold Fuyuumi who hadn't said anything nor talked to anyone; the cheerful Tsukimori who had been chatting with Shimizu so animatedly; and also the weird Kanazawa-sensei who had given the lecture about 'youthfulness'. "Oh, yeah!" Suddenly Tsukimori yelled out, taking everyone's attention. "There's a swimming pool at the back. Let's go swimming after this!" He suggested cheerfully. "No, thanks." Yunoki, Hihara and Fuyuumi replied stoically. "Eh? Why???" Tsukimori sulked. "Senpai… I'm not stupid enough to swim at this hour, and at this time of the year." Fuyuumi replied, sipping her drink coolly. "Eh? But I thought it'd be fun…" The bluenette said disappointed. "Well, you can count me in if you want to play a mindless indoor game." Fuyuumi replied, trying to show some respect to her senpai. Meanwhile, Hino and Tsuchiura looked somewhat disbelieved as to what had they heard.

"I do." Tsuchiura replied as he ate.
