The boys presence in the room gave off an unordinary vibe, that everyone felt. Drake and Josh were smiling awkwardly due to the rest of the girls staring at them. And for some reason, Drake naturally decided to put his feet up on the table, which Josh in response, pushed them back down, glaring at him.
Seconds later, Sumire laid down a cup filled with tea in front of Josh
"So. I guess we'll start with introductions first?" Josh decided to break the awkwardness between the group
"I'll go first! I'm Drake Parker, as you just saw, I play guitar, and I write songs" Drake plainly introduced himself in a laidback manner, putting his arms behind his head
"And, I'm Josh Nichols! I'm 21 years old, I like doing magic tricks, I was the top student back in 11th grade, I also like cooking, and I also was voted most polite child in the 5th grade." Josh introduced himself much less simple than Drake did
"Aww, you have a pet turtle!" Josh looked over at Ton-Chan's tank, while everyone did the same as Josh pointed him out
"That's Ton-Chan, we got him last year, when we had leftover club funds, so we decided to buy him" Azusa informed Josh
"That's pretty cool, I used to have a pet turtle named Sheldon, he was pretty cute too" Josh mentioned
"Wow, he sounds like a really nice turtle, how is he now?" Ui excitedly asked
"Oh You don't wanna know" Josh responded in a dead voice
Josh's response, caused silence in the room
"I guess I'll go next, my name is Azusa Nakano, I'm the lead guitarist of this club" Azusa softly introduced herself
"I wanna go next, I'm Jun Suzuki, I'm the bassist of the Light Music Club" Jun jumped in to introduce herself
"Hello, My name is Ui Hirasawa, and I'm the rhythm guitarist of the Light Music Club" Ui introduced herself in a respectful manner
"I'm Nao Okuda, and I'm the club's producer" Nao calmly introduced herself
"M-My name is Sumire Saitō, I'm the Drummer of the Light Music Club" Sumire timidly introduced herself
"And I'm Sawako Yamanaka, the advisor of the Light Music Club." Sawako jumped up and winked as she introduced herself to gain attention to the boys
"Well, It's a pleasure to meet you all" Josh said
Everyone was respectively drinking their tea, Ui however, noticed that Drake has not even motioned towards his cup of tea yet.
"Drake, aren't you gonna drink your tea?" Ui asked while looking at his teacup
"Well I-ah. yeah." Drake somewhat stuttered
Drake proceeded to slowly take one sip of his tea, trying to ignore the taste, although it didn't matter because tears started forming in his eyes, which led to him weeping
"Drake, are you crying?" Jun commented
"No." Drake lied even though his teardrops were clearly visible from a distance
"Did I not put enough sugar in it?" Sumire worriedly asked
"No. The tea is just. Tastes so good" Drake once again lied, struggling to talk while he attempted to hold back his face of disgust
Everyone stared at Drake's breakdown, as he forced himself to swallow his tea, which caused him to blatantly cry.
"Are you sure you're alright, Drake?" Azusa had a look of confusion on her face
Drake nodded his head to gesture that he was
"I hate to break it to you guys, but Drake, doesn't like tea" Josh explained
"What?!" The girls responded with shocked faces and looked at Drake
"Uh-huh" Drake admitted, as he wiped his tears away
"How can you dislike tea like that!" Sawako criticized Drake
"But tea is amazing, there's no way that anyone in this world that can't like tea!" Jun also criticized Drake for disliking tea
"Don't worry, I know how to fix this, Sumire, can you pass me the sugar please?" Josh requested
Sumire did as she was told and handed over the sugar container
"Thank you" Josh thanked
Josh proceeded to add an unusual number of sugars in Drake's tea
"That is an awful amount of sugar!" Azusa was disturbed by the overwhelming amount of sugar that Josh had added
"Trust me on this" Josh replied, then continued to stir the tea
"Here try it now" Josh pushed the cup towards Drake
Drake sipped his tea once more, then immediately chugged it all down right after
'And I thought there would be nobody that is as bad as Yui-Senpai' Azusa had thought
'He might as well eat sugar on its own' Jun also thought

"...and that's when we figured out, that Megan had set us up" Drake finished explaining the story
"And yeah, that's basically why we're here" Josh clarified
"We really need help to find a job or something, to earn money" Drake explained
"I think we could help you guys" Ui put her hand on her chin, and started having thoughts
"You can?" Josh was slightly surprised
"Of course, anything for you two" Sawako confirmed, as she still admires Drake
"No..." Azusa muttered while looking down
Everyone looked over to Azusa
"Why should we even bother to help these two idiots in the first place!" Azusa shouted with anger
Everyone became shocked at Azusa's sudden outburst
"How do we even know that they're not just using us for their own use?!" Azusa reasoned while still having a meltdown
"I mean look at the reason why they're here, it's the most ridiculous story I've ever heard!" Azusa yelled
"Woah, Azusa calm down" Jun slightly motioned her arms to calm Azusa down
"Why should I bother calming down!" Azusa aggressively asked
"Somebody calm her down!" Sawako tells everyone
"Drake, do something!" Josh said in a panic
"I don't know, what can I do?!" Drake responded not knowing what to do
"You're good with girls, calm her down!" Josh said
Drake slowly and cautiously walked up to Azusa
"Uh" Drake tried to get Azusa's attention
Azusa snapped her head at Drake, glaring with rage, which frightened Drake.
"Hey..." Drake nervously said
Just like that, it calms Azusa down
'Just saying that calms her down!?' Everyone else in the room thought in shock

"I'm so sorry I lost my composure" Azusa bowed and apologized
"It's okay, we're the ones who should be sorry" Josh's response surprised everyone
"We shouldn't have dragged you guys into this, come on Drake let's not waste anyone else's time, and sort this out ourselves" Josh continued
"But-, we-, I-." Drake tried to reason into staying but struggled to think of one
"Drake, let's go. We're not teenagers like them anymore, we have to handle things on our own!" Josh tried to act as mature as possible
"You're right, we'll go" Drake understood and started to walkout
"Wait, please don't go!" Sawako begged
"We still want to help you boys" Ui added
"You actually wanna help us?" Drake asked
"But, why would you girls wanna help us, we only just met a few minutes ago" Josh asked with reason
"Well, I get the feeling you boys would do the same if we were in your shoes" Ui softly replied
"Well, Yeah. We would." Drake said as he had a flashback two years ago with Mary Alice.
"I know, but we'll be causing a lot of trouble for you girls, are you sure?" Josh said
"What do you think club president Azusa?" Jun asked
"Well. If it's okay with the rest of you" Azusa looked at Nao and Sumire
"I'm okay with it" Nao agreed
"Yeah, I'm fine with it too" Sumire also agreed
"Alright, but we still need to also make we get in some practice as well" Azusa answered
"So It's settled then. But first, play me another song?" Sawako requested to Drake
Everyone else just giggled in reaction to Sawako-Sensei's response
