Hello everybody! I've decided to start making fics about Bang Dream too because I really enjoyed the anime and the game. That and because… I really don't see the combination of ships all in one place that I like… hehehe…
Arisa: Are you really that surprised?
Maya: With so many 'main' characters, it is quite the order to do that.
Okay, I'm gonna put a lock on my door, since everyone just keeps barging in here.
Lisa: Nah, you like everyone too much to do that~
Shut up…
Moca: Ooooooooooh~ This proves that guys can be tsundere too~
Just start… please…
Moca: Okie dokie~ The Great Moca-chan would like to remind everyone that Xdante-san doesn't own any of us~ The credit for us goes to our wonderful creators~ Please enjoy the story~
Love Dream Days
Chapter 1: The Hopeless Lovers Alliance
It was another peaceful lunch break at Hanasakigawa Girls' Academy, with everyone who is in a band having a big get together in the courtyard. Kasumi was currently talking about their big performance at the Budokan, which took place last week, to their friends who had different concerts at the time. "And at the finale, we totally nailed it with our combined performance!~"
"Oooooooooh! Everyone, let's include that in our next show too!" Kokoro shouted enthusiastically while also jumping up from her sitting position.
Misaki sighed before responding "That would mean we have to invite other bands to our concert, you know."
"Yeah! So, what's the problem, Mii-kun?~" Hagumi asked back, not seeing any problem with Kokoro's idea.
Saaya was the one who answered this time "Hagumi-san, Kokoro-san, it's not easy to arrange all our bands to perform at the same time…"
"Oh, I guess that's right. One at a time then~" said the leader of Hello Happy World!
Arisa sighed, already feeling exhausted from all this craziness "Should have thought it would escalate to this…" she said before getting her stuff and standing up.
"Where are you going, Ichigaya-san?" Chisato asked the keyboardist.
"I have some papers to look over at the student council, so I'm leaving early."
Kasumi started packing her stuff too while saying "Oh, then let me go with you! I can help!"
Arisa quickly stopped her friend and said "Thanks Kasumi but I got this covered, just enjoy the rest of the break with the others. Bye, everyone." Then she left with a wave.
Kasumi looked a little sad and said "Awww… I wanted to help her…"
Aya smiled at her and said "Don't worry, Kasumi-chan. You will see each other later."
"Boo… that's too long… I don't want to wait…"
Chisato picked up her things before standing up and saying "I have a few papers I wanted to hand in to the council, so I must go as well. Bye, everyone!" With that, Chisato left the group as well.
"Uh… about your performance again…" Kanon asked Kasumi to cheer her up. And it worked like a charm, as Kasumi kept going on about it. Again…
Student Council Room
Arisa arrived at her destination, sat down at her desk, and put her head on the table before sighing. This time it wasn't from exhaustion. "I'm hopeless… and a coward…" she said before taking out her phone and looking at a picture of her and Kasumi at their practice session in her basement. This was taken at a time when the others haven't arrived yet. She sighed once more and said out loud "If only I could tell you how much I love you… Kasumi…"
"So… I'm not alone…" Arisa froze completely before turning around and seeing Rinko (the current student council president) appear behind her from her secluded place. "Um… I'm sorry… for eavesdropping…"
The blonde was stunned but she was still able to say "I thought… you were outside with the others…"
"I was but… I came back here… to check on a few things… before the break ends…" the Roselia member replied while being nervous.
Arisa was still shocked as she begged "Please… don't tell this… to anybody…"
Rinko smiled a little and replied "Of course… I fully… understand you…"
Arisa let out a breath of relief before remembering what the president said just a few minutes ago "Wait… you said you're not alone… could it be that…" Rinko simply nodded while looking at the ground a little.
"Y-y-yes… I'm also… i-i-in love… with someone…" she said while starting to blush madly.
Arisa could only smile a little and reply "Ako's lucky to have you."
"Eh?! How did you know?"
"It seemed to be the only logical answer. You 2 do play a lot of games together, plus you guys get along well and hang out a lot." Arisa answered almost sagely.
Rinko smiled before saying "Takes one to know one… I suppose…" Both girls started giggling before realizing something "We're too scared to tell them… right?"
Arisa sighed yet again then replied "Big time… it's like there's never a time to properly confess to Kasumi… same is true about Ako I bet, right Rinko-Senpai?" Instead of an answer, the student council president remained frozen for some reason unknown to Arisa. "Rinko-Senpai?" Said person could only point behind Arisa. As she turned around, she also became like a deer caught in headlights. Chisato was standing there.
The member of Pastel Palettes giggled before taking a seat and saying "Don't worry. I'm the same as you two."
"Y-y-you are…?" Rinko managed to ask after calming down a bit.
Chisato nodded and said "I'm in love with Aya-chan…" After saying this the other 2 girls just stared at her blankly. "What?"
Both the other girls replied "We already knew."
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH?! Am I really that obvious?!"
Arisa was the one who answered "Not to Aya-san but besides her… well… even Kasumi thinks you 2 are already an item…"
Rinko also added her 2 cents into this conversation "That's what everyone in Roselia thought as well…"
Chisato collapsed inside and threw her head on the table "I'm really hopeless, aren't I?"
"We all are…" Arisa added.
"We should… start a club…" Rinko stated half-joking.
A new voice asked a question about that. "Is there… room for one more?" The 3 girls turned back to the door and saw Kanon standing there.
Chisato sweatdropped and said "We really should lock that door…"
Arisa sighed then added "Kanon-Senpai, please close the door." The blue-haired girl did that before sitting down next to Chisato "So… who are you in love with?"
Kanon blushed hard and answered "Well… you may not believe it…"
"It's Misaki-san, isn't it?" Chisato said making Kanon look at her like she's crazy.
"What?! No! Why do people think that?! I keep hearing whispers about it but that's not true!" she replied with a bit of a raised voice.
The others were startled a bit but Rinko still managed to ask "Then… who is it?"
Kanon kept blushing and answered "I-i-i-it's… Kokoro-chan…"
"Huh… makes sense now that I think about it." Chisato said while smiling.
Arisa was looking at Kanon as if she had grown a second head "How can anyone like Tsurumaki-san?"
Kanon puffed her cheeks a bit before asking "How can anyone like Kasumi-san?"
"Fine, fine… I'm sorry…" Arisa replied then tried to steer the conversation back to the main problem. "So… what should we do?"
Rinko was the one who came up with an answer for the group. "Maybe… ask Imai-san…"
"Is that really a good idea?" Chisato asked being a little doubtful about letting others know about their predicament.
Rinko smiled and replied "We can trust her with this…"
"Alright, then let's ask Lisa-san to meet us at Circle today. I can make sure the others in my band will know of our delay for today's practice session." Arisa said, trying to formulate their 'plan'.
Chisato smiled and said "That's good. I'm free today, so I have no issues whatsoever."
"I'll tell the others I'll be running a little late for today's meeting. There should be no problem with that." Kanon stated.
Rinko finished typing on her phone before speaking "I've just sent the text to Imai-san. She should meet us there later."
Arisa nodded and said "Good. Then we'll meet later for further discussions. Lunchbreak's almost over, so we better return to class." Everyone else nodded and got up to leave.
Later that day, at Circle
"I wasn't expecting you to bring company, Rinko. Especially this particular group." Yukina said as the group of love-struck girls were at the entrance of their meeting place. It's obvious that they were completely surprised by the people there.
Rinko was still just looking at Yukina and Sayo in front of her before finally being able to ask "How come… you're here Yukina-san… Sayo-san? I sent the text to Imai-san…"
The leader of Roselia answered "She asked me to come help in her stead. A girl in her dancing group has a friend, whose birthday is coming up, so Lisa and Ako arranged a last-minute meeting to teach her some moves for the occasion."
"Apparently, they are together." Sayo added finishing the explanation.
Chisato sighed before saying "So much for asking the expert today…"
"I was really looking forward to receiving some advice too…" Kanon said nervously.
Yukina raised an eyebrow and asked "What is such a problem that neither I nor Sayo can help you with?"
Arisa sighed before nodding at the group (in which all the girls nodded back) and explained "We were hoping she could help us with our… love problem…"
Sayo got visibly surprised and asked "Love problem?"
Everyone nodded with Kanon adding "I'm… in love with Kokoro-chan…"
"I have feelings for Ako…"
"I can't get Kasumi out of my head for a while now…"
"I can't tell my feelings to Aya-chan…"
Sayo was surprised again and said "I thought you and Maruyama-san are already an item, Shirasagi-san…"
Chisato was shocked yet again "At this point… I may have to start asking if there is anyone besides Aya-chan who doesn't know…"
"That aside, I guess you can call us some kind of love-sick group or whatever." Arisa said, taking the attention away from Chisato, who was thankful for that.
Yukina and Sayo shared a look before nodding and turning back to the group. Yukina then asked "Is there room for 2 more in this group?"
The other girls were extremely surprised again and Kanon was able to ask "Who… do you have in mind to join us, Minato-san?"
Sayo answered "Us of course…"
Rinko was the most surprised out of the other girls but she was still able to ask "Who do you 2 like?"
Yukina blushed while looking down embarrassedly "It's… Lisa…"
Sayo sighed then blushed and stated "Hazawa-san…"
"Really? I mean it's not that surprising with Yukina-san but Sayo-san was totally unexpected." Chisato said, making Sayo blush even harder.
"I know… I don't really get it myself but I enjoy her company and always want to be with her…" Sayo said then Arisa nodded her head understandingly.
Kanon said "We were hoping to get tips from Imai-san on how to show our love for them… but I guess that's out of the question now completely…"
Rinko replied "Seems so… it would be… unfair to Yukina-san…"
"Wait, you can ask her without me… I won't mind…" Yukina said while looking a little sadder than earlier.
Arisa sighed and stated "You're part of this… whatever love group, so we won't leave you out… would be totally unfair…"
Every other girl also nodded with the keyboardist's statement. Yukina smiled a little and said "Thank you, everyone."
"Wow… so this was the subject of your meeting." said a new voice from behind the first group of girls.
"Mitake-san?!" Chisato exclaimed as she turned around with everybody else to see Ran and Tomoe from Afterglow there. "How come you're here?! Isn't it too early for you?"
Tomoe answered "True but we decided to hang out here while waiting. Never would have thought that we end up hearing such juicy facts~"
Rinko was sweating like crazy. After all, how often did it happen that when you say you're in love with a girl (who is also your bandmate), and then said girl's older sister happens to hear you say that. "Udagawa-san! I… I…"
Tomoe simply smiled at her and said "Don't worry, Rinko. I approve of you dating Ako. After you can confess to her of course~"
"R-r-right…"
"Although… not like I'm one to talk…" Tomoe continued, making the others curious. "I'd like to get some tips from this group too… for dating Himari…"
Ran spoke as well "And me too… for Moca…"
Arisa stated again "We're all hopeless girls here…" Nobody could say anything in response to that. The group of girls decided to go inside and try to think of stuff inside where hopefully nobody else will suddenly butt in on their private conversation.
Inside Circle's Studio
"Alright, time to come up with a plan to make our crushes fall for us!" Arisa exclaimed with such enthusiasm that a military general could learn a thing or two about inspiration from her.
"I got nothing…" Ran said looking away embarrassed.
Arisa sweatdropped and asked "Does anybody even have remotely some kind of plan to get together with the girls we like?" The keyboardist was met with complete silence and the lingering sensation of utter defeat. "Well… that was a pointless beginning from me…"
Chisato suggested "Let's call ourselves the Hopeless Lovers Alliance…"
Sayo sighed before adding "I'm sad to admit that it suits us perfectly…"
Before anybody else could say anything, the door suddenly burst open revealing Chu2 behind it and coming in. "I finally found you guys! Get ready t- hey, where are the rest of your peanut galleries?"
"Chu2-san, this is a different matter than music that we are currently discussing." Yukina stated in her usual stoic way.
Kanon clarified "Actually… it's more like we're trying to solve matters…"
The short producer walked in, closed the door, and stood in front of the group with her arms crossed. "And what are those matters exactly?"
"Are you really interested?" Chisato asked with a raised eyebrow.
Chu2's response was "I'm still here listening, aren't I?"
The group sighed and Arisa explained the situation "We can't figure out how to confess our love for the girls we like…"
After hearing that, Chu2 couldn't help burst out laughing. Ran was annoyed the most and asked "I missed the joke part."
"Ha… that felt good." The producer stated while wiping a tear away from her eye. "You should have just asked me, I'm an expert in the field of love!"
Tomoe asked "Do you really think we're that dumb? You wouldn't know the meaning, let alone the feeling of love, if you got hit in the head with every single dictionary in the world."
"A bit extreme comparison. I do agree with it though." Sayo said as Chu2 felt extremely insulted.
"Hmph! Well, you girls are still in luck. I came to hand you guys tickets for our next concert personally. It will be tomorrow at Galaxy!" The producer said as she took out a few tickets and passed them around the band members. Chu2 gave enough for all the girls to bring their whole band.
Yukina narrowed her eyes before looking at Chu2 and asked "What are you up to? And why is it lucky for us to witness your concert?"
Chu2 simply smiled triumphantly and chuckled a bit, then said "You'll see. I'm gonna show you how we adults do things!"
"The only place you can count as an adult is in the middle of the Smurf village." Ran said which caused a massive giggle to erupt in the studio.
Chu2 didn't show much care about the comment, to everyone's surprise, and said "Think what you want. I'm not making you come but if you want to stop being 'a hopeless lovers group' and become 'lovers with the girl of your dreams group' then you'll be there with everyone else. Your choice." She then left the practice studio.
Arisa looked at the ticket before she asked "Should we go and watch it?"
"At least… we'll have a good time… if nothing else…" Rinko stated.
Sayo also voiced her thoughts "They never really hold a bad concert."
"Are we in agreement about this?" Yukina asked as everyone else nodded. "Then let's make sure to arrive on time tomorrow."
"Right!" Everyone's answer sounded in the studio. Since not much would be accomplished by this group, the girls decided to call it a day with the meeting and find the others to hand them the tickets, all while wondering what Chu2 has planned.
To be continued…
Yes, I'm evil for stopping here. I was thinking of adding the concert part too but I think it will be better in the next chapter.
Sayo: Nevermind that. Why couldn't you come up with a better name for the group? We look like idiots because of it.
That was the point actually. And believe me, it's not the name that makes you girls look like idiots.
Kanon: I'm afraid to ask… but then what?
The fact that neither of you can say 3 words to the girls you love.
Arisa: … I have no comeback…
Of course not.
Yukina: You made us like that though.
Details, details. Who wants to have the final word?
Rinko: I'll do it. Um… thank you… for reading the first part of our story… please… look forward to the next one… like and review, please… Good bye~
