I actually have a review to answer this time. But if you looked at the context clues closely, it says a review. I only got 1! Were are all you reviewers!

xo Concrete Angel ox - I'm glad you're enjoying it so far! And thanks for being the first reviewer and the first person to add the story to their favorites! Here's the next chapter, I hope you like it too.

There's an extra disclaimer this chapter because of a song...

Disclamier: I do not own the song that a certain character sings in this chapter, 'Don't Break Me Down' by The Donnas. I was just listening to that song so I decided to use it for her tryout. You might hear/read that song later on, so I suggest that you look it up on Yahoo Music.

So... Just start reading the actual chapter...


Chapter 3: Band Tryouts and Sports Teams!

Thirty minutes later, Sakura, Ino, and Hinata were sitting in the front row seats of the auditorium with a table sat in front of them to take notes on each persons performances. On the impromptu they'd hung up on the walls of the schools said that any people who could play guitar, drums, keyboard, or sing well was welcomed, so they were ready for the worst, and hopefully the best.

There were about fifty girls (and a few strange looking boys) sitting in the back row of the auditorium chattering loudly, waiting for their turn to audition. All three of them decided it was time to start, and Ino stood up, turned around, and shouted. "All of you wanna-bes shut your traps! Whoever's in seat number 1 get your butt up on the stage and see if you're good material to be in this band!" That shut everybody up and a rather shy looking girl stepped up onto the stage.

"Ano... I... will be... ano... singing a s-song..." The girl said.

Instantly Sakura called out. "Just get off the stage, if you're going to stutter and say 'ano' that much it probably wouldn't work out in front of a large crowd." The girl nodded and walked off the stage.

A semi-familiar face walked up onto the stage, Nakashi Ayame was up there holding her own guitar case. "Well, I can sing and play guitar quite well, so I'll be demonstrating both, is that okay?" The judges nodded. "Okay." She opened up her guitar case to pull out a regular guitar (not electric or anything like that) and decided she should just start to sing...

"Don't break me,
Don't break me down.

Can't you see,
My hands on the ground.

I don't remember my name,
And I swear, it won't be the same.

Did you steal it,
Can you feel it,
'Cause I'm starting to feel it now,
So don't break me down."

She stopped singing and sat her guitar in the case, closing it and picking it up. "That was only part of the song... I hope that's okay..." She bowed rather quickly and ran off the stage and out of the auditorium doors.

They went through several other auditions, several of the people being semi-familiar ones like Ayame had been. All of them being Tenten, Temari, Sherubi, and Kayato. After everybody had left, the three original band members discussed who should be allowed in.

"I think Kayato was a decent drum player, but I can't decide between her and Tenten..." Sakura said, pulling the notes that she had gathered from both of their performances and looking them over.

"I know Sherubi and Ayame were good singers, so we'll have them be main singers along with us, Sakura. We can each take turns singing lead parts in songs since we all play all types of guitar... Since once you know one it's easy to learn the others and such..." Ino said, also looking over the notes.

"T-temari-san was good with all those effects, though we d-didn't really ask for effect people, it c-could really h-h-help out... And once y-you two decide between K-kayato-san and Tenten-san the other c-could help Temari-san with th-the lights..." Hinata said, pointing something that wasn't that obvious out.

"Okay, how about this..." Sakura was scribbling something down on a spare piece of notebook paper and passed it to the other end of the table, between Ino and Hinata.

Migoto Hana
Drummer: Tenten
Guitarists/Singers: Sakura, Ino, Sherubi, Ayame
Keyboardist: Hinata
Lights&Effects: Temari, Kayato

Both of the other girls nodded, as they walked outside of the auditorium to find most of the people who had auditioned (the ones who hadn't been told to get offstage before they finished) waiting. Picking the new band members out of the crowd, they walked back into the auditorium.

"All of you are going to be in the band, and the only person doing something they didn't demonstrate is Kayato, since she'll be doing lights and effects with you, Temari." Sakura said, explaining everything in one breath.

"S-sorry about t-th-that Kayato-san..." Hinata said quietly from beside Sakura, though it wasn't really necessary since Kayato looked more pleased than unhappy.

"We have practice every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from seven to nine in the afternoon, so it won't interfere with any of the school's sports practices, and both of the weekend days from noon to five in the afternoon. Got it?" Ino said, smiling afterwards.

"Eh... Okay!" Ayame practically yelled, apparently overjoyed that she'd actually gotten in.

So, that's how the band was formed...


No highschool would be complete without sports tryouts, or without any sports teams for that
matter. But before you can have the tryouts, you have to have the signing up for sports tryouts... That is where we find the eight band members of Migoto Hana one week after the tryouts, being stuck in a crowd trying to sign up for the tryouts...

"Get out of the way pip-squeaks!" Temari yelled at everybody as she tried to shove through the crowd. It was a correct statement, since she was at least half a head taller than anybody there. At least they knew they'd never lose her in a crowd.

"T-temari-chan... You shouldn't b-be so r-r-rude..." Hinata said, directly behind Temari since she was the shortest out of the bunch. The whole group had gotten less formal, so they mostly addressed each other as whatever-their-name-was-chan.

"Get over it, Hinata-chan, this is the only way we'd be able to get through before lunch was over." Tenten patted Hinata on the shoulder, making the younger girl jump. After about another minute the group of eight had gotten all the way to the bulletin board where the sign up sheets were. They took turns signing up and sat at the table that they'd since then claimed (well, Temari had told everybody that they claimed it so they stayed away) that table as their band's.

They each had sat down at their usual spots, which went a little like this...

Temari - Hinata
Sakura -Kayato
Ino - Ayame
Tenten - Sherubi

They changed around every once and a while, though that's basically where they sat.

As was being said, once they sat down at their usual spots, Sakura decided to ask the question that was on (almost) everybody's minds. "So, what did everybody sign up for?"

"I think we all signed up for volley ball, except for Hinata..." Ino said, not trying to make her friend feel bad, though it looked like it had.

"Besides volley ball I signed up for basketball and drill team. And track and field which I think we ALL signed up for." Temari said, afterwards explaining that drill team was the dance team, who often did the halftime shows for the football games.

"I got swimming, basketball, volleyball, cheerleading, drill team, and track and field." Tenten counted off on her fingers.

"Jeez, Tenten! That only leaves out the boy's football and soccer teams!" Ino said, laughing.

"Uh... I think I signed up for football and soccer too..." Tenten blushed as she said that, nervously scratching the back of her head as she received stares from the rest of the group.

"Show off." Ino poked her in left arm "Well, I'm only signed up for track and field and volleyball. No need to waste my time doing so many sports."

"I... I'm just doing track and field and swimming." Hinata said, in between bites of her slice of pizza.

"I signed up for everything except for the football team, I've never been able to play that well." Kayato said, not bothering to list all the sports she was in.

"Volleyball, track and field, and basketball... This is going to be a fun year!" Ayame smiled a smile that could even rival Naruto's.

"Just cheerleading, volleyball, and track and field." Sakura said, taking a french fry and sticking it in her mouth. "I don't want to overload myself..."

"I signed up for volleyball, track and field, and soccer. None of the other sports seemed too interesting." Sherubi said, followed by a shrug.

"Okay, so... Tryouts start next Monday, right? And there are several tryouts on each day... Tenten, you're going to have a hard time going to all of them." Temari said, chuckling. "I can't wait until next week for another reason, my 17th birthday! It's on next Monday, too."

"Awesome." Was the generic response from everybody. They apparently had decided to start actually eating their lunch since there was only a total of three minutes left.

"Oh, come on guys! Aren't you even going to ask about my birthday party? You're all invited to come to my house for a sleep over next Monday, and we can just head to school together. Don't be scared by my brothers, though. They're both freaks." A huge grin was spread across Temari's face, as was on practically everybody else.

"... I never had a party for my birthday... My brother did though." Kayato was stared at by everybody, eventually Temari smiled even more (if that was possible) and said that they could celebrate her birthday at the sleep over also.

The last two days of the week were extremely uneventful, and everybody went on with their normal lives... Except for Naruto who got the flu and wasn't able to see anybody for the last two days or the weekend, but that's a complete other story that won't be bothered to tell.


Done with chapter #3! Horray! I hope I get more reviews for this chapter, I want at least 3 before I post the next one, though I'll post it anyway within two days even if I don't get that many.

Until next chapter, sayonara!
