I just want to keep writing until I get to a certain point into the story. It looks like the plot is starting to form a little better, and i'm really amused by most of your speculations. Truth be told, I did not originally intend this fic to have so many Mugitsu moments. I'm liking the turn out so far though.

Azusa had woken up, it was saturday if she recalled correctly. She blinked once and noticed a pair of hands wrapped around her. The little guitarist turned to see Yui still asleep with a dreamy expression on her face. Azusa thought back to last night. She took the bottom while her senpai remained on the top bunk.
A slightly irritated look formed around her face. 'That could only mean that Yui-senpai crept into my bunk in the middle of the night.' She was always so clingy when they were together.
Yui detatched her arms from the young girl as she did a stretch in bed. She opened her eyes to greet Azusa.
"Good morning!"
Azusa just stared at her elder. She let out a sigh before she replied, "Goodmorning."
"Oh Azusa, you're so cute!" She hugged her tightly as usual.
The little girl struggled to escape from Yui's grasp. As soon as she broke free she sat upright. She realized that Mugi hadn't returned with them and that she invited Ritsu to sleepover at her house.
"So, Azusa, what are we going to do today?" Yui poked her side as she sat beside the girl.
"Well, I want to spend time with you and Mio before I leave. Can we hang out with her today?"
"Of course we can!" Yui replied without thinking.
"But what if she has plans?"
"Well, i'm sure she can reschedule..."
Azusa disagreed. If she were going to hang out with Mio she would first call and ask if she was free. The guitarist picked up her phone and dialed the number.
Ring. Ring. Ring.
"Hello, Mio speaking."
"Hi Mio-senpai, it's Azusa."
"Oh, good morning Azusa. What's up?"
"I, uh, wanted to ask if I can hang out with you today before I leave."
"Sure." She responded quickly.
"You don't have any plans?"
"Nope, Ritsu's out of the house, so i'm free today."
"Ok. We'll see you in a few minutes."
"Ok, see you then."
With that Azusa hung up the phone and told Yui to get ready.
They took a few steps before reaching the door. Azusa rang the doorbell.
Ding. Dong.
She heard footsteps approach the door before Mio stood infront of them.
"Hello Mio-senpai." Azusa greeted her.
"Hi Mio." Yui said with a smile.
"Goodmorning you guys." Mio replied to the two. She welcomed them inside as they stepped in.
Azusa looked around the apartment, she could tell that Mio had been cleaning the place recently. The vaccuum was at the corner of the room along with several other appliances.
The girls took a seat around the dining table. Yui began their conversation.
"So did you enjoy yesterday's dance Mio?" She questioned the girl.
"Yeah, it was ok..." She looked down at her hands.
"Only ok?" Yui asked, "so, you didn't have a good time with Rei?"
Azusa looked at Mio, she could tell something wasbothering her with the saddened look in her eyes.
"I did, he was nice.." Her thoughts started drifting to the masked boy.
"I had fun." Azusa suddenly spoke, "and you guys did great on your performance!"
Mio and Yui gave her a smile.
"Awww, thanks Azusa!" Yui gave her a little hug.
Mio watched the two with an amused expression.
"Oh, by the way, did you get to see Mugi's secret boyfriend?" Yui asked Mio.
"Secret boyfriend?" Mio asked curiously.
"Yeah!" Yui replied.
"I didn't know Mugi had a boyfriend." Mio wondered why her friend never mentioned him before.
Azusa rolled her eyes. "Yui, she never said he was her boyfriend. Stop assuming things."
Mio looked at the two with a confused expression.
"But-"
"Rin Takemoto was just a friend. She didn't introduce him to us as her boyfriend." Azusa reminded Yui.
"So she doesn't have a boyfriend?" Mio asked.
"According to her, no." Azusa assured the bassist.
"But Mio, you should've seen them. They were pretty close. They had that...that..that spark!" Yui stated.
"And, she kissed him!"
"Huh?" Mio looked confused again.
Azusa did recall that the two seemed to click. Yui was right, Mugi did kiss the boy on the forehead.
"Is this true?" Mio asked Azusa.
"Yeah.." Azusa looked down and thought hard about it. She wondered at the possibility that Rin could be Mugi's secret boyfriend.
The three girls sat in silence taking in all the information.
"Do you remember what he looked like?" Mio asked Yui and Azusa.
"There wasn't really much to go on. He was always wearing his mask." Azusa recalled.
"I remember him wearing all black. He had brown hair and he wasn't that tall." Yui did her best to focus on a photographic memory of him.
Mio recalled how the masked boy looked like. He matched their description. She realized how the boy was quick to leave after his dance with her, he wouldn't have stayed. She brushed off the possibility that it was him.
The girls sat in silence once more. They all agreed to ask Mugi the truth when the time was right.
"Where was Ritsu during the dance?" Yui asked. "She disappeared after our performance."
"Oh, she was helping Mugi with some dance comittee things."Mio replied.
"Really, it's too bad we didn't get to dance with her." Yui replied with a saddened face.
"Well i'm sure there will be plenty of other dances." Azusa assured her.
Yui nodded.
Azusa checked the time. It was almost time for her to go.
"Looks like i'll be leaving soon." Azusa notified the two.
"We'll walk you to the train station." Mio looked at Yui. The two agreed. The bassist slipped into her shoes as the three headed for the door.
The train arrived as the three girls stood together.
"We'll see you soon." Mio told the little guitarist.
"Yeah!" Yui smiled. "I'll miss you!" She made kissy face at Azusa.
Azusa smiled at the two girls. She was certainly going to miss them as well. "Tell Ritsu and Mugi that I said bye. I hope we can all hang out again soon."
"We will." The two said in unison.
Mio and Yui each gave Azusa a hug before she entered the train. They watched her wave goodbye as it started to move once again. The guitarist and bassist stayed until the train disappeared out of their sight. They decided to head back to the apartment.
"Is something on your mind." Yui asked Mio. She noticed that her friend was more quite than usual.
"...yes, you can say that." Mio replied with a saddened tone in her voice.
"Want to talk about it?"
"..." Mio thought about it for a while. "There was this boy at the dance."
"Hmm, a boy?"
"Aside from Rei, yes."
Yui waited for Mio to continue. She knew there was more to the story.
"H-He asked me to slow dance, and I accepted. I didn't know who he was and I couldn't really tell how he looked like. As soon as the music died down I thought he was going to kiss me." She stopped walking. "He didn't kiss me the way I thought he would. Then, he just left."
Yui stopped walking as well and thought about what to say next. She could tell that it had been bugging her for some time now.
"It's just like one of those romantic movies." Yui replied.
Mio stood in silence.
Yui could tell that her comment wasn't helping. She shifted her tone before talking once more. "Are you worried that you won't meet him again?" The guitarist looked at Mio with a concerned expression.
"..Yes." She admitted quietly. Her eyes started to water unconsciously.
Yui put her arm around the girl, "Hey Mio, you do know what happens in those types of movies right."
Mio sobbed.
"Well, they always find their way to each other." She gave her an encouraging pat.
The raven haired girl looked up at her friend. "Y-You really think so?"
"Of course!" Yui exclaimed.
Mio's sobs lessened. She felt a little better after listening to Yui's words.
"Now come on." The guitarist gestured to her apartment. It was only a couple blocks away.
Mio nodded as they continued walking.
'It certainly won't be an easy road though.' Yui thought to herself as she looked up at the sky.
The day passed by quickly and the sun started to set.
After conversing with Yui for a while longer the guitarist took her leave. Mio continued cleaning the house in solemnity. To be honest, she liked days like these - when Ritsu was away - it was quiet and peaceful.
It was easier for her to think.
Mio cleaned up the last of her utilities and fell back onto the couch as her legs lay on the armrest. 'I wonder what Ritsu's up to.." She reached for her phone and scrolled to her best friend's number. 'Maybe I shouldn't.'
She set the phone on her stomach. A part of her wanted Ritsu to be with her. If she told her what had happened at the dance, her friend would know just what to do.
-bzzt-bzzt-
Her stomach vibrated as a new message appeared on her phone, it was Rei.
- Hi Mio, what's up? -
She took the phone and replied.
- not much, just thinking... -
A few seconds passed as a new message popped up.
- oh, yeah? About what? -
'Some boy.' She thought.
- about someone.. - she replied vividly.
- is it me? -
He was obviously flirting with her now. She didn't reply for a long time.
- no?... -
- ok... Haha. Want to talk about it? -
'Not really' she didn't want to tell him, she didn't feel like she needed to. They weren't that close yet and how would he react if he did.
- not really -
- ok. Sorry for bugging you... -
- it's fine. well, I have to got to sleep now - it was getting late, Mio needed her beauty sleep.
- ok, see you at school? -
- Yes -
- Goodnight Mio -
- Goodnight Rei -
She closed her phone and sighed. What was she going to do? Mio recalled that Ritsu told her Rei was interested in her, but she liked somone else. She flailed against the couch to relieve her anxiety and frustration. 'Why does it have to be this way...' She spent the rest of the night lying in deep thought.
