I hope you have been enjoying the story so far but I have to say I'm a little disappointed that there aren't a lot of reviews, please review everyone because every review is like a fan wanting more from this story. But for now please enjoy this chapter, next time will be the school festival! Until then~


Yui and Nodoka could not arrive at the club soon enough as Nodoka was literally pulling Yui by the arm since she was so keen to eat Mugi's cake, "Hurry up Yui-chan" Nodoka said straining her voice, "you're so slow."

"Oi…I haven't had lunch yet since you kept pestering me" Yui said as she was so hungry now that her stomach was practically growling like a lion looking for its next meal, "please slow down Nodoka."

"Mou~" Nodoka said pouting, "you're so slow Yui-chan."

"You're the one that's too fast" Yui said as they finally arrived at the club room.

"Oh you're a bit late today" Ritsu said with a smile.

"Yui-chan was being slow" Nodoka announced as Yui groaned.

"Here you go Yui-chan and Nodoka-chan" Mugi said setting cake for the two of them both of who devoured it with great relish.

'It's amazing…they're both in sync with each other' Mio thought to herself as she watched the two girl eat their snacks. Soon Azusa also arrived at the club room and instead of seeing an empty room like she had for the last week she was excited that the room was now full of life and happiness as she smiled, "Sempais you're back" she exclaimed.

"Azu-nyan~" Yui said with joy on her face, "its been so long since I last seen you" she said hugging the little girl.

"Yui-chan~ you're mean" Nodoka said as she tired to pull Yui away from Azusa, "you should be hugging me not her~"

"Yui-sempai you shouldn't hug me all the time" Azusa said at the same time as she accidently pushed Yui away so both Yui and Nodoka fell backwards with Nodoka on the ground while Yui was lying on top of her, "ah I'm sorry."

"It's okay" Yui said, "you didn't mean it" as she tried to get off from Nodoka but Nodoka was insistent that Yui remained with her, "we need to get off the floor Nodoka" Yui said gently.

"Then you need to lift both of us up" Nodoka said hugging Yui tightly making Mugi have a nosebleed from risqué thoughts in her head about these two.

"Mugi" Ritsu said noticing Mugi, "what are you thinking about?"

"Young love is such a beautiful thing" Mugi said dreamily as everyone present shuddered, not wanting to think about what Mugi was referring to.

"Alright…" Yui said as she tried to push herself and Nodoka off from the floor but it was a bit hard since the Nodoka was a bit heavy so it took some time before Yui managed to get off the floor with Azusa's help as Nodoka smiled and beamed in happiness.

"Yay! You're so strong Yui-chan~" Nodoka said, "you too Azusa-nyan~"

"Why is she saying Yui-sempai's personal nickname for me?" Azusa asked blushing a bit.

"What's wrong with it?" Ritsu asked as she drank her tea.

"B-but…but only Yui-sempai calls me that" Azusa mumbled to herself.

"Aw~ are you getting jealous?" Ritsu teased.

"I-I'm not jealous!" Azusa said hotly as she puffed up.

"Aw its okay Azusa-chan" Yui said, "I still love you" as Yui hugged her only to be pulled back by Nodoka.

"You're mean Yui-chan~ I thought you loved only me and Ui" Nodoka whined.

"I love everyone" Yui boldly declared as Mugi's nosebleed was threatening to gush out like a fountain.

"Breath Mugi, breath" Mio advised as Mugi had literally stopped breathing as she watched the three of them argue with one another.

"Anyways" Yui said disengaging the hug making Nodoka hug her tightly, "we need to practice for the school festival, we're way behind schedule."

"For once I agree with you Yui" Ritsu said nodding, "we are behind and we really do need to get ready for the school festival."

"Wow" Mio said her face one of surprise, "you guys really are going to practice…this is the first time I hear those words from you guys."

"Yeah well we kind of have to make up for fighting and not practicing for a week…" Ritsu said with a nervous laugh, "so lets make this practice count okay!" she exclaimed as everyone shouted their agreement.

Three hours later the group had finally finished their practice as they put their equipment away, "That was a great practice everyone" Mio said happily, "we really were in sync just now."

"Yeah we were weren't we?" Azusa said with a smile.

"Must be our bonds" Mugi said jokingly though the others doubted whether it was an intentional joke or it had a deeper connotation to it that they did not want to know.

"You were great Yui-chan" Nodoka said clapping, she had been watching the band as they practiced while eating cake and she often encouraged them though it was more to Yui then the other band members.

"Hehe…thank you Nodoka" Yui said with a nervous laugh, "though the others also deserve praise."

The door then opened as Ui came in, "Hello everyone" she said with a smile, "I'm here to pick up sis and Nodoka" she said.

"Hey Ui" Ritsu said, "did you bring any snacks?" she asked jokingly as Mio looked ready to strangle her, "joking, joking" she quickly said before Mio did something nasty to her.

"Unfortunately not" Ui said, "but I promise to bring some tomorrow."

"It's fine Ui, you don't need to" Mio said, "Ritsu was just joking."

"Alright I need to get home, I'll see you guys tomorrow okay?" Yui said as Nodoka was instantly by her side.

"See ya Yui, lets keep up the good work" Ritsu said as she waved at her.

"I'll bring more delicious cake tomorrow" Mugi said as Nodoka beamed at that.

"It's great that you're practicing more seriously now" Azusa said.

After saying their goodbyes the K-On! Club also disbanded for the day as they went their separate way, "You really practiced hard didn't you sis?" Ui said.

"How could you tell?" Yui asked.

"Because your stomach growls whenever you practice hard" Ui said with a small laugh as Yui's stomach growled like a lion making her blush.

"I'm hungry too~" Nodoka said.

"What did you buy for dinner then Ui?" Yui asked.

"Chicken teriyaki" Ui replied as Yui and Nodoka smiled since chicken teriyaki were their favourite foods."

"It's been a while since I've had chicken teriyaki" Yui said.

"That's why I thought it would be a good time to make some chicken teriyaki, you're welcome to come and eat with us Nodoka" Ui said as Nodoka cried out in joy as she glomped Ui and continued to do so for the rest of the trip back home.

They arrived back home just before dark as Ui opened the door and immediately Nodoka went straight to the living room where she lounged in front of a TV, "That was fast" Ui said.

"She was like that once" Yui said, "come on Nodoka we have homework to do remember?"

"Don't wanna" Nodoka said her eyes glued to the TV.

"Come on Nodoka we really need to get a move on with those homework" Yui said as she poked at Nodoka who simply swatted them away.

"Don't wanna" Nodoka said again.

Yui pouted as she became annoyed that Nodoka was becoming childish, well she was but still, she then remembered that she was also like this before the incident and Ui always said one thing that would make her behave, "You're not getting the chicken teriyaki if you don't do your homework" Yui said in a sweet tone as instantly Nodoka was upstairs and doing her work, "jesus that girl is fast" Yui commented as she was left standing in the doorway of the living room.

"Didn't I use to do that to you?" Ui said as she began to make the chicken teriyaki.

"True…but I didn't think it would work on Nodoka" Yui said as she began to go up, "I'm going to be in my room Ui."

"Okay" Ui replied, "I'll send some snacks later."

"Thanks Ui, you're the best" Yui said as Ui smiled to herself.

An hour later Nodoka and Yui were hard at work with their homework when Ui came up to their room, "I bought some snacks and tea" she announced as she sat it down on their table just before Nodoka began to eat them.

"You know you shouldn't eat too much Nodoka" Yui said, "we still going to have that chicken teriyaki."

"I know but I can eat all I want when I'm in your house" Nodoka said.

"I'm not a cafeteria you know" Yui said pouting as Nodoka and Ui laugh making Yui laugh a few moments later; later in the night after they all had dinner it was time for Nodoka to go home.

"I'll see you tomorrow okay Yui-chan and Ui-chan" Nodoka said, "thanks for the dinner by the way."

"It's okay" Ui said, "see you tomorrow."

"We'll practice more tomorrow okay?" Yui said as she waved goodbye to her.

Nodoka waved goodbye before heading off towards her home, "Tonight was fun wasn't it sis?" Ui commented to her sister who nodded in agreement.

"Lots of fun…but I hope the real Nodoka returns soon…I kind of miss her" Yui said as she held hands with Ui.

"Me too" Ui said, "one day she'll come around and we can have our old Nodoka back."

"Here's hoping for the best" Yui said as the two of them went back inside wishing that one day Nodoka would return to her normal self.
