This is the last chapter for this short story of mine. Attention manages to have effects on both Yui and Azusa (partially Mio's fault). Hope you enjoy bunches.

I do not own the cuteness that is K-on!

Because Ritsu and Tsumugi used attention to gain power Mio decided to have a "heart to heart" talk with Yui and Azusa one afternoon after practice.

"Just because we're getting popular doesn't mean we should abuse our power." Mio said with an air of finality. Yui's eyes grew wide and began to tear up. "B-But all those freshmen give me tasty treats and…"

"I think Mio-senpai has a point." the ever wise Azusa commented while nodding her head in agreement which was to be expected because when was there a time the girl ever disagreed with Mio, the dark haired beauty.

"NO! Not you too Azu-nyan!" Yui wailed as she clung onto the small teen miserably. Azusa struggled out of her hold in vain. "Get off me!" Mio smiled gently and shook her head.

"That's all I wanted to tell you guys. Oh, Yui can you stick around for a while?" Yui's arms flew off her prey and she brightly grinned. "Okay but let's get ice cream first!" Mio blinked.

"…Didn't you just eat?"

Azusa went home and Mio let herself be dragged by a hyper, still hungry Yui. When they reached the ice cream shop Yui got strawberry and Mio got chocolate.

"Well I wanted to talk to you about Azusa." Mio started as she began to lick her ice cream treat. "What wrong with Azusa?" Yui asked as she let her snack drip onto her hands.

"Nothing serious. We should just watch out for her, especially you. She really admires you even though she doesn't admit it." "Really?" Yui gasped, excited.

"Yeah. You should try your best to be her role model. In fact…because you're the lead singer of the band you should be a role model for every under classman." Yui's eyes shone in awe. "I never knew I had such a huge responsibility…"

"Yep." Mio nodded for emphasis. "If you think that way I can breathe easier knowing you're not making the underclassman your slaves like Ritsu and Mugi…"

"Okay Mio-chan! I'll be the best role model ever!!!"

It was that typical nice, sunny day. The butterflies were fluttering, the grass was green, kittens were throwing up hairballs, and Azusa felt great! As she walked through the school's hallway towards the her lovely (yet wacky) club room, she waved to those who passed her by.

"Hi there Umi and Nana. Get home safe."

"We will Azu-nyan!"

"That's such a cute barrette you have on Kano."

"Thanks Azu-nyan!"

"Amu, I heard your solo performance last week. You were wonderful!"

"Thanks Azu-nyan but I can never play the guitar as well as you do!"

As the cute, pig-tailed girl continued down the hall, giving out compliments she then realized that something was completely off…

"…AZU-NYAN!!!???"

Mugi was just about to serve Mio and Ritsu tea when their youngest member came in as red as apple and as furious as a bull.

"Who did it? Who started it? WHO, WHO?"

"Whoa there Nelly!" Ritsu warned but smiled anyway. "Just what are you talking about?" Azusa's face seemed to turn even redder and tears began to fall down in shame.

"Azu-nyan! Everyone's calling me Azu-nyan for some reason! There weren't doing that this morning!" All her senpai's frowned and Mio suddenly had a bad feeling in her gut.

"Ritsu…"

"It wasn't me, I swear!"

"It wasn't me either," Tsumugi began. "And it couldn't have been Mio-chan. If Ritsu said she didn't do it then it had to be…" They all became silent. The culprit's name didn't even have to be said. Suddenly Azusa wailed.

"Ugh, stupid Yui-senpai! She knows I don't like that name! I'll never forgive her!"

Ritsu tried to offer some encouragement. "But it's a cute nick name Azu-nya-I mean Azusa!" Azusa cried harder. "My reputation is ruined! Ruined I tell you!"

Suddenly Yui herself entered the room…covered in elaborate sheets, with her guitar strung over her shoulders. The most oddest part was that the usually happy-go-lucky girl had the most serious, serenest look on her face.

"I have arrived." she sang out in a sort of solemn way and then strummed her guitar. Ritsu's smile went crooked and then she burst out laughing. "What's with the get up Yui?" she hooted while Azusa looked at her with tear filled eyes.

"Oh could you Yui-senpai? How could you tell everyone my nickname?" she cried out but Yui's expression did not change and she said, "It is better to reveal the sweetness of a pocky stick then to let it's sweetness dry off in the far of desert sands of the Sahara."

Azusa: "…. What?"

Yui: "The nickname is sweet so I revealed its sweetness because it is my job as a role model." (Strums guitar afterwards).

Everyone else:……..

After an awkward silence Mio finally realized her error. "Yui, is this what you thought I meant when I asked you to be a role model?" Yui coolly nodded. "That would be correct." (Cue strum of the guitar once more). Mio groaned.

"I didn't mean for you to act like some kind of Buddha Yui. I meant be the underclassman's best friend…like their sister! Treat them like their all Ui-chan." Suddenly Yui's passive eyes began to gain their usual glowish charm. "Like Ui-chan?"

"Yes! Doesn't that sound fun?"

Yui gasped at the beautiful thought and ripped off the bed sheets she had on (which was hard because she had "Gitah" on her). "That sounds great and a lot easier to do! Now all the classman can give me treats again like Ui always does!"

Mio: "…carp."

Azusa still slightly sobbed. "But…that nick name…." "Don't worry Azu-nyan! I'll fix it." Yui hugged her little friend and Azusa bristled but managed to smile in relief. "Now," Yui announced. "Let's get all the underclassman still here and get ice cream together! Come on guys!" Yui grabbed Azusa by the arm and dragged her out of the room. Mugi giggled and followed while Mio, still shocked that her plan had not worked, stood next to a smirking Ritsu.

"Well turns out the underclassman are still our play things. Come on Mio lighten up! It's not like we're hurting them!" Mio simply sighed in defeat. She should've known things would turn out this way but surprisingly it didn't bother her too much. That was because…it was fun when things turned out this way, wasn't it? Despite the way attention molded all of them, she had fun with all her band mates. She loved them for the way they were and that was all that mattered.

"Shut up and let's get ice cream." she responded in mock disdain but her friend knew her better than to fall for it. "That a girl!" Ritsu cheered as the two walked out of the room.

Mio still didn't like attention.

But despite its faults it always managed to bring them closer together.
