Some time has passed after drinking tea and eating sweets, and the club needed to discuss a plan to sort things out for the boy's situation.

"So, where would be the best place to work?" Josh questioned

"Yeah, we need one that pays a ton of money" Drake firmly added

"Right, Drake and I need to go back home as soon as possible"

"And if Mom and Dad find out we're here without their permission, we'll get grounded for sure"

"Well, where have you guys worked before?" Jun asked

"Oh. I'm assistant manager at a movie premiere back in San Diego" Josh answered

"That sounds like a lot of fun" Ui complimented

"Yeah, it is"

"And we also worked packaging sushi one time" Drake quickly mentioned

"There's a lot of places like that around here" Sumire said

"Yeah, maybe that's a good place" Nao added

"Oh No no no no no no no no no. Drake and I-. let's just say, it wasn't a great job for us" Josh swiftly replied

"Why's that?" Azusa asked

"We'll tell you"

FLASHBACK

Ball & Vance Fish Corp. SAN Diego 2006

Drake: and here we go

Josh: time to package some dead fish

[Both Drake and Josh start putting sushi in the trays]

Drake: oh yeah, this is really challenging

Josh: Alright, it may not be the most exciting job in the world, but at least it'll earn us enough money to get Mom and Dad some new furniture

Josh: hey grab that one, grab it!

Drake: oh I got it, don't worry

Josh: Woah, this thing is going kind of fast. Hey, can you slow it down a little bit!

Drake: Woah hey, grab one of the pieces

Josh: Grab them. Just put them on the side

Drake: I'm trying

Josh: [starts eating some of the sushi]

[Drake throws a piece of sushi up on the ceiling]

Drake: Dude, they stick!

[Both Drake and Josh start throwing sushi upwards]

Josh: yes!

[The conveyer belt stops]

Drake: Uh oh, she's coming back! Hurry

Josh: come on

[Manager walks in]

Manager: Excellent. You boys are doing a fine job. SPEED IT UP A LITTLE! [Leaves]

[The conveyer belt starts again]

Josh: speed it up?! Dude grab them!

Drake: I'm trying, I'm trying!

Josh: Can you slow it down please! WE'RE JUST BOYS!

Drake: Grab them, Josh!

[Drake gets his arm stuck in the hole]

Drake: ow-ow HEYY

[Josh pulls him out]

Josh: Oh dude, don't go through the sushi hole!

[Sushi starts falling off the ceiling]

Drake: THEY'RE FALLING DOWN

Josh: THEY'RE FALLING OFF THE CEILING

Drake: I KNOW

[Drake and Josh continue throwing sushi rolls on the ceiling]

END OF FLASHBACK

The girls burst into laughter after hearing that story

"It just became more and more out of control" Drake started to laugh as well

"You threw sushi on the ceiling" Jun couldn't control her laughter as she laughed

"It took us like three and a half showers to get rid of the odor" Josh chuckled

Everyone continued laughing

"You know, I also have a sushi story to tell" Azusa started to speak while wiping her tears of laughter away

FLASHBACK

Kaiten Sushi Rungchu London 2009

Manager: okay if you'd like to get on stage

Yui, Ritsu, Mio, Mugi, and Azusa: huh?!

Yui: Gitah!

Mugi: oh my!

Yui: Mugi-chan?

Ritsu: Mugi!

[Mugi walks to the stage]

Mugi: excuse me!

Yui: I guess Mugi-chan went to tell them that we only came to eat

Ritsu: It's always nice to have Mugi with us. [see's keyboard being brought up on stage] Never mind!

[Mugi walks back to the girls]

Ritsu: what exactly are you doing, Mugi?

Mugi: they didn't have a keyboard

Ritsu: Leave this to me!

Ritsu: Hey yo! I am bucho. We are okyaku-san, ensou shimasen

Yui: Ricchan, I can tell you're trying really hard, but that's mostly Japanese

Yui: Ricchan, you need more English!

Ritsu: Uh-I-Uh. I love sushi

Ritsu: English is too hard

END OF FLASHBACK

Everyone once again starts laughing

"All we wanted to do was eat sushi, but we had no choice but to perform" Azusa giggled as she explained

"Saying 'I love sushi' ain't gonna do anything" Drake commented as he laughed

"But that's all Ritsu-senpai could say"

"English is pretty hard to learn, I gotta say" Josh responded

"I could also say the same with Japanese" Azusa replied

'That gives me an idea for a job' Sawako had thought of an idea

"I have an idea for a job. Meet us back here tomorrow!"

"Oh, right, right. We were supposed to be talking about our job situation" Drake said

"But I guess we, dozed off topic" Ui added

"Wait. What time is it?" Josh asked in a sudden realization

'We're slacking off, just like the senpai's' Azusa sweated as she thought

The sun is starting to set, and the Girls, and Drake, and Josh had to leave school grounds.

Azusa, Ui, and Jun walked in one direction, while Sumire and Nao walked in another to reach their homes, each saying their goodbyes, leaving Drake, and Josh behind.

As the girls left the area, Drake and Josh were now once again stuck with nothing else to do

"So now what do we do?" Drake looked at Josh

"...I don't know" Josh slowly answered back

— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — X — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —

As a short amount of time went by, Jun had separated from Azusa, and Ui while walking home

"I'm worried that this will interfere with our practice" Azusa said

"What do you mean?" Ui replied

"It's about Drake and Josh"

"You think they're going to be a distraction to us?"

"Uh huh"

"Well, I think they shouldn't be a problem, they were pretty nice to us earlier"

"Come to think of it. Remember how I said in our first year, that I would want a big sister like Mio-Senpai?"

Ui smiled and nodded

"Well, I kinda feel the same way with Josh" Azusa explained

"You would want to have a big brother like Josh?" Ui questioned

"Yeah, he seems to care a lot about others, and very smart"

"Josh would make a good big brother. Although, um. The height differences"

"Yeah, he's much taller than both of us"

"Even taller than Sumire" this was due to the fact that Sumire is approximately the same height as Drake, while Josh being a lot taller than everyone else, being about 4 inches taller than Drake.

"Well, they are boys after all"

"That's right, and what do you think about Drake?" Ui asked

"Drake is a little. Well" Azusa paused before continuing

"He's a bit hard to describe" Azusa chuckled slightly

"He is an interesting boy, I admit" Ui responded

"Yeah, I get the feeling if Yui-Senpai and Ritsu-Senpai were one person, they'd be Drake. Except he doesn't like tea"

"And he's also really good at the guitar and a great singer. Maybe he could help us at band practice"

Azusa looked up and thought about it, then later smiled

"I guess you're right, what are the chances we meet someone who publishes their own songs"

"Isn't one of Drake's song's really popular in America?"

"Oh, that's right, he had a record deal with a company called, Spin City Records"

"Maybe one day you'll be as good as him, or maybe even on stage with him"

"They're only staying here temporarily, so I highly doubt that'll happen"

"Well, I'm just glad we got to make some new friends"

"I'm glad too"

Both girls smiled at each other

— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — X — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —

Azusa and Ui had said goodbye to each other and went in different directions to go back to their homes.

Azusa soon arrived back home from school, immediately walking up to her room putting her bag and Muttan down.

"I never thought, that I'd have friends that were boys" Azusa happily thought

The next morning, Ui and Jun were casually walking together towards Sakuragaoka, having the usual talk.

"I still have a long way to go before I become as good as Mio-senpai" Jun sighed

"Are you still taking lessons from your brother?" Ui asked

"Don't bring that up!"

"I'm sorry-" Both of them stopped outside the gate to see Drake and Josh sitting down on the ground leaning on the wall, sleeping on each other.
