Introduction
This story is a Rock and Roll love story, which is inspired and highly influenced by many sources. The surroundings are inspired from Rick's Saber Marionette 90210 fan fic, the characters are based on the original Saber Marionette J anime series, the backbone of the story is based on a real rock and roll history happened in the 60's about the 3 legendary guitarists of that era, also added many experiences in my life. I truely hope this fic will appeal to guitar playing or music loving SMJ fans. This is my first ever fan fic, and the longest story I have ever written. I hope it won't disappoint you. Anyway I always wanted to make my imagination into reality so I can say I did it for myself. Hope you enjoy it.
The background was Terra 2, but both real men and woman existed. The surroundings are very different from the original anime series, you can actually suppose this story happened a hundred years after the time when the story of the anime series started. But somehow the alter-ego of characters in a hundred years ago are in the story.
I added a few new characters. You will know more about them after reading further and you should understand the truth about them in the end.
I didn't write any songs appeared in this story. They are real songs on this planet Earth and belong to their respective owners.
Although the story is based on real history, please note that many parts of this story are completely fictional.
When you read later on, you will find this story more and more emotional. Try to feel how the characters feel if you like to. But be prepapred, it's really heartbreaking in some scenes near the end.
This story was written like a movie, you can use your imagination to create the movie in your mind.
Enjoy!

1. The Beginning
Just another ordinary morning at Japones International School. This school was not very famous, but not infamous either. It had a quite good reputation around Japones downtown area as this school's focused on creativity and art. They believed the quality of a student was not measured by academic results only. Nevertheless they got quite good academic results, not the best in the area but still quite good. Parents around the area were more than pleased to let their kids got into a school like this. There were many colorful characters in this school that made this school distinctive.
As usual, 8am, a bus of student arrived the front door of the school.
Lime, Cherry and Bloodbery got out of the bus.
"Why do they have to pick us up at seven forty five? So early!" Bloodberry was yawning. She chatted with a net friend until very late last night and she apparently needed more sleep.
"I told you not to chat that late." Cherry said. "The bell rings at 8:30. Lime, here you are, your hamster food mix. Have a good time with Squirrelly."
"Thank you Cherry! See you!" Lime quickly ran to the trees area in the park of JIS.
"How about you Cherry? What are you going to do now?" asked Bloodberry.
"I will go to the library. I need to take this time to do some research on a project with the computers."
"Ok see you around."
--
Lime climbed up a tree, and took out the hamster food from her pocket.
"Squirrelly? Squirrelly? Where are you?"
A cute squirrel came out, he was looking at Lime. Lime reached out her hands to touch it. The squirrel was smelling Lime's fingers. Squirrelly might have recognized Lime's smell since a long time ago, but he still did it to show that he was friendly and a way to be polite.
"Oh Squirrelly, how are you? Hey I brought you some food!"
Lime put some hamster food in her hand and Squirrelly enjoyed the food a lot.
The food was some peanuts, pop corn, dog biscult and dried fruit. Lime bought it from a pet store nearby.
Lime was pleased that Squirrelly enjoyed it. After Squirrelly finished, she caressed Squirrelly's back and started talking to him.
"The breakfast cooked by Cherry was delicious! I wanted to have more, but Cherry said I had way too much. But I think I only had 3 bowls of rice..."
--
In the Library, Cherry was busy looking at the results returned from Hoogle. When she clicked on a link and waited it to load, she looked around and saw it was Faust sitting next to her, using the computer next to her.
Faust was well known as a straight-A genius in the school. He was a skinny guy came from a middle class family. He was from Gartland. He and Cherry were the top students in the class.
"Hi Faust! Good morning! What are you doing?"
"Well I'm checking the web to kind of explore further use of my 8 track."
Faust had a passion to blues music. He was a very good guitar player - indeed he was one of the best in the school. Also he was a master of using his 8 track machine that he bought from eBay.
"I'm really a fan of your music, Faust." said Cherry. "You always make something different."
"Oh really? Thank you so much. Oh yeah - I recorded a demo last night and I made a MP3 on my private website. Do you want to give me some comments or ideas?"
"Sure! It's great to hear something by you in advance!"
Faust downloaded the clip and played it in low volume.
--
In an empty classroom, Eric, came from Xian, was tuning his guitar. Eric was the another best guitarist in this school along with Faust. They were friends, Eric did contribute in Faust's recording for a few times, although they were friends there was some sort of competition between them. Eric was the first guitar hero in the school. He used a Gibson Les Paul plugged into a Marshall amplifier to produce a thick and dirty tone. Faust was using a Fender Telecaster but after he heard Eric he used Les Paul and Marshall too.
He was pissed. He just had an arguement with his band leader.
"What is this crap? Aren't we an R&B band?"
"Come on Eric, what's your problem? This song is poppy but people will like it!"
"No, I hate this track. I always want to stick with blues."
"Eric, don't you see? This song is on the top of the school chart among music clubs vote! People like it! We are going to produce more songs in this direction."
"Ok, fine, look, I will quit then."
"What the hell? You think I will change my mind? Fine, we will find someone else!"
So now what could Eric do? He was alone now. For now he couldn't play without a band.
When he was tuning the guitar, he looked out of the window.
It was a blue haired girl sitting on a tree branch playing with something really small he didn't know what it was.
"How did she go up there?" Eric wondered. He could only see her back. "I seldom see a girl climb up a tree."
Eric was always a lone wolf. And he was one of the most down to earth person you could ever see on the planet. He was confident but he didn't like to show off much. He was just a simple guy. He just wanted to do his job well and be a nice person.
After tuning his guitar, he looked out at the corridor and saw a few girls looking at him. The girls saw him looked back, and they laughed with each other. One of them came towards Eric, and Eric didn't know what to do.
"Hi are you Eric, the legendary guitarist? You look more handsome than I thought."
Many people said Eric was handsome, but let me tell ya, he didn't give a damn.
"Well yeah... I'm Eric." Eric looked down.
"Hmm... do you mind if we go to the canteen and have a drink?"
Eric was thinking, "Wow, girls nowadays... asking a guy for a drink? Isn't it supposed that a guy take the initiative to ask a girl for a drink?"
Eric had some resistance towards girls. He had an elder brother, who had a bad girl friend. He loved his girl friend a lot but finally his girl friend left him because he was poor. She married to a rich man and finally his brother killed himself. Since that experience Eric felt sick of those selfish, greedy woman, and he thought 95% of girls nowadays were this kind of people.
"No thanks." As usual, Eric turned down a female once again. He thought surely this girl was not his cup of tea.
The girl was embarressed. She was turned down.
"Ok then... Bye."
She walked away quickly.
After that, Eric put the guitar into it's case. When he was about to get out of the classroom, he saw Ginger at the door.
Ginger, a rather tall young man who was older than Eric, was the president of the Jazz club. He was a great drummer, the best in the school and he was confident. He could play a drum orchestra all by himself. He sounded like 2 or 3 drummers playing when he played. He used 2 bass drums and played with all hands and legs at the same time.
"I heard you just quited your band."
"Yes... words spread so quickly don't they?"
"Of course, you are Eric of JIS! Everybody cares about you are having no band to play with!"
"Ok... Well... I hope this won't be the end of my career."
"Actually I am thinking about creating a new band, to produce a sound that is different. Do you want to join us?"
Eric was more than glad to accept it. "Sure! It would be a dream come true to play with you! What are the other band members?"
"Well... I think we only need a bass player. I'm thinking about Jack, who is a committee member of the Jazz club and he is a great bass player. I will talk to him."
"That's great!"
