A/N: I honestly don't know where I'm going with this story, but it's going somewhere. Anyway, I thought I would mention that I included Ritsu's brother in this story, but I changed his age and made him older than Ritsu. I'm picturing him to be between nineteen to twenty-one.
After school Mio, Ritsu and Mugi met up in the Music room for a brief meeting in which they filled out the form as much as possible, but the form was only a part of the meeting. The main topic of the meeting involved coming up with ideas to recruit at least one person into the club. Mugi took it upon herself to make a flier and a signup sheet to place it on the school's bulletin board. On the other hand, Mio and Ritsu decided to talk to their classmates about joining in the club. This also provided them with an excuse to make new friends.
Their plan was simple and was executed perfectly, but after about a week of getting know the students and trying to persuade them to join, nothing happened. Every morning they checked signup sheet only to see that not one name written on it. Mio would have been okay with it, but she was feeling her girlfriend's frustrations and worries. After much thought on the matter, Mio also realized that though she wasn't up for the club from the beginning, she was also disappointed by the end of the week.
When she found herself sitting at a desk in the music room, she was lost in her thoughts about recruiting. It amazed her to know how much she was looking forward to be playing in a band again. She was also thrilled with the idea of performing with Mugi. The girl was just as good if not better than Nagisa. She smiled slightly at the thought of the girl. Although she wouldn't admit it to Ritsu, she had formed a crush on her red headed friend, but somehow ended up with Ritsu.
She loved the drummer; she really did. The brunette helped pushed her to do things she wouldn't normally do, for instance the Light Music club. She also loved the girl's sense of humor, as long as she didn't get carried away. Another thing she loved about Ritsu was her passion for things, especially with music. However, when it came to her passions, she wasn't passive about it, no, she was active about it. When there was something she wanted, she wasn't afraid to go out of her way to get it.
After reading the book in her hands, but not really reading it, she looked up to take in the view of her girlfriend, who looked as if she wanted to run a marathon or something with all her pent up frustrated energy. "Are you okay?"
Ritsu looked at Mio, "No, I'm not. I can't believe that no one signed up yet. I bet if we were to blow our cover, I'm sure we would be swamped with people wanting to jam with us."
"You know we can't, Ritsu," Mio said as she closed her book.
The brunette walked over to the bassist and sat on her lap. Her arms curled around Mio's neck, "I know Mio, but sometimes it would so nice just to use some of our fame power."
Mio smiled up at Ritsu and smiled, "You know one day we won't have that sort of influence. We just have to get use to being ordinary like we were before Blue Water."
Ritsu pressed her lips to Mio's in a long and deep heated kiss. As Mio felt the familiar warmth of her girlfriend's lips, a picture of someone popped in her head. At first she didn't recognize who it was until she it hit her. Upon noticing she was seeing someone else's face while kissing, fear grew upon her. She pulled away to look at Ritsu for a moment to recollect her feelings for the girl in her arms. What was that?
Shaking it off, she went back to kissing Ritsu hoping it would go more smoothly, but before she could attached their lips again, Ritsu spoke, "Mio, I just remembered something."
Seeing the opening for a new conversation, Mio smiled and asked, "What is it?"
"Last night at dinner, Satoshi made an incredible announcement."
"Oh, and what did your onii-chan say?"
Mischief entered Ritsu's eyes for a moment, "He told us he found himself a girlfriend."
"Really?" asked Mio in disbelief. "He's one of the laziest people I've ever met. Who would date him?"
"I don't know. He wouldn't tell us her name, but he said that he wanted to introduce us to her."
"When are you meeting her?"
"Next Friday," Ritsu answered, "Mom asked him to invite her over to dinner."
"How do you feel about it?"
"I can't wait to meet his loser girlfriend."
Mio felt appalled by her girlfriend's attitude towards some girl she didn't know, "Ritsu, that's not very nice. You can't call her a loser if you don't know her."
"Mio, you know my onii-chan, he's a college dropout, who returned home because he got homesick. You remember what he was like when we were younger. He picked on us constantly. Seriously, who would like a person like him?"
"Maybe he's changed," suggested Mio, "But whatever the case is, you have no right to judge his girlfriend before you have a chance to meet her."
Ritsu shook her head, "Whoever she is, I don't want think I'll keep myself from trashing her or my brother. Do you want to come over for dinner that night?"
Without hesitating, Mio agreed making Ritsu happy. The drummer threw her arms around Mio's neck again and kissed her wildly. While they kissed, the door of the Music slammed open enthusiastically, causing Mio to stand straight up in fright and Ritsu falling to the ground. Both girls looked towards the door to see Mugi there with a happy grin on her face while waving a piece of paper.
"Guys, guess what?"
Mugi's excitement was caught on my Ritsu, who jumped over to the pianist, "What is it, Mugi?"
"Look," she said pushing the paper in her hands towards the drummer's grasp.
The brunette looked on the sheet and smiled her head off. Automatically, she started to jump up and down which actions caused her girlfriend to become a little irritated at being left out of the loop. "What's so exciting?"
Ritsu rushed over to Mio and kiss her lips, "Someone signed up to be in the club!"
Despite her misgivings of forming the club, Mio became very happy. "Really?"
"Yes," Ritsu pressed as she shoved the signup sheet in Mio's face.
The bassist snatched it from Ritsu's hands and to look at paper properly. Upon the sheet was written just one name: Hirasawa Yui.
"I wonder what she's like," the raven haired beauty pondered out loud.
"I don't," Ritsu replied, "but I hope she plays the guitar."
"What if she doesn't?"
"If she doesn't at least we have a club."
"Way to look at the bright side of things Ritsu," said Mugi.
"Thanks."
Just as the trio was basking in their glory, an invisible light bulb turned on above Mugi's head. "Since she probably not coming today, why don't we do something extra special for her on Monday?"
"Like what?" asked Ritsu, who was thrilled at the prospect of doing something exciting.
"I was thinking we throw a tea party."
A smiled formed on the drummer's face, "I like it. A tea party will show the girl we have class."
Mio thought the idea was good as well, "If we're going to throw a party we'll need to pass out who's going to bring what."
Mugi giggled, "Oh, you don't have to worry about it. I'll take care of everything."
"You are?" asked Mio. "I mean it wouldn't be fair to put everything on your shoulders."
"Mio, don't worry about it. Doing tea parties is something I live for."
"I thought it was Yuri," stated Ritsu.
The dirty blonde giggled more, "Ritsu, there are five things I live for: my family, the piano, Yuri, tea parties and…" she blushed, but she didn't go on to say what the last one was about, but she didn't have to since Mio and Ritsu could have guessed what the last item was: Yamanaka Sawako, better known as Sawa-chan.
Since the members of Blue Water didn't want to rain on their friend's parade they agreed to allow her to do all the preparations.
