The first round

Mio was standing in front of the arena they are going to compete. She was wearing a long red dress and a bright red rose on her head. She was carrying her 3-Color Sunburst Fender Precision Bass and tapping her foot.

She look at her watch, 'They sure are late...' She thought. They've been practicing and practicing whole weeks. Today is their first day of competition!

"Mio-chan!"

Yui cried. She was carrying her Heritage Cherry Sunburst Gibson Les Paul Standard electric guitar, running towards Mio with Azusa, Tsumugi and Ritsu. Yui was wearing a clothes that almost similar to a cowboy style. Her clothes was white and orange in color, she was also wearing a big white and orange hat with a music note on it.

Ritsu was wearing a tight and short mini bright orange mini skirt and a short t-shirt. That really shows her style of sporty and sexy. Tsumugi was wearing a white long sleeves t-shirt with a black vest; she also wears a long tight black slacks.

Azusa was wearing a white short sleeves t-shirt and a black vest like Tsumugi, only she was wearing a short black mini skirt. Tsumugi bought her Korg RK-100 Keytar, that makes the three of them except Yui think, 'She was really rich...'

The five of them were ready to go into the arena while... "Minna!"

That's right... Sawako-sensei showed up. "What's wrong? Sawa-chan sensei?" Yui asked. Ritsu lift the tired Sawako sensei up.

"Good thing... I made it... on time..."

The five of them almost faint, this is why she calls them... "Every team who participate in the contest please gathered at the centre of the arena... I repeat..."

"Ne, let's go!" Yui yell.

"Alright!"

The five of them were now inside a big arena, they sat down. The judges introduce themselves to the entire contestant. There are three judges this time. After that, someone will pass a paper to the leader of the band. And for the 'After School Tea Time', that is the Keiron music club band name; the leader will be the president, Ritsu.

"Number...2..."

"Oh..." The four of them said, but...

"What!? So soon!?"

The four of them shouted at Ritsu, Ritsu cover her ears with both of her hands. Yui checked the list they are going to play after this, Fudepen~Ballpen~ and my love is a staple. Mio is going to sing Fudepen~Ballpen~ all by her own because she sang once at her second year of school festival.

Yui and Mio were also going to sing my love is a staple because their duet are awesome, a lot of people vote for their duet. And guess what? Mio is getting embarrasses again...

"Do I have to sing this much!?"

Mio argue. The four of them nodded. Yui pat Mio shoulder, "Don't worry Mio-chan, you sing very well!"

Mio sob, the four of them make a peace sign behind Mio back. There are twelve teams all together, one round disqualified four teams. The last round, which means the finals, will leave four teams and only one team can perform at the Budokan.

"The first round will start soon enough, please gathered at studio A, I repeat..."

Yui looks at the four of them, she was kind of pity Mio because she was so nervous her leg trembles hard. "Well guys! Let's do our best then!"

"Okay!" Everyone cheered except Mio. She was still nervous about it. The five of them walk to studio A, which is nearby the center of the arena. There were so many people waiting at the studio, the studio was large, it really can fit in twelve teams with... well, a lot of people?

They look at a notice board which shows them when their turn to perform was. Ritsu checked once more, "Yup second is us." She said.

All of them sighed, well, it's so obviously they didn't want to go that soon... Then, now, they were at the studio, a lot of bands were preparing for the competition. There were lot kinds of bands such as jazz, pop, rock and of course... the Keiron music club, After School Tea Time.

The first team was a jazz band, there were saxophones in it that make the five of them go wow... There were also trumpets as well, and then Yui thinks. 'Can a trumpet and saxophone harmonies together?'

Then, there goes Yui answer. The competition starts and the jazz band go first. Their jazz songs were like... jazzy and mostly, the saxophonist was way too cool!

They think they had fall in love with them...

The second was them. Mio was so nervous until she can't feel her legs. Yui and Tsumugi calm her down a bit, while then...

"Hello there ladies!" A spot light from the middle of nowhere appear in front of them. Three people were standing under the spotlight. There were two men and a woman. One of the men spoke first.

"Good morning young maidens..." He bowed down gracefully to the five of them. He walks towards Mio and lift her hand out, "Ah, what such graceful ladies you are..."

The man kisses Mio hand and that gives Mio a creep. She stunned for a while then the other four shouted, "He kisses your hand!"

Mio thought she will die after this, and then another woman appear behind the man. "Come on Mr. Aren, you scared her."

"Huh?! But this is common manners right?"

"This's British common manners, not in Japan."

"Oh, sorry..." The person who so call Mr. Aren bowed to Mio again, this time, Mio can already see the heaven...

"I'm Miss Sanjou, and this blonde guy calls Aren Light. He's a Britain."

The five of them stunned again, then the two judges suddenly been pushes out away, there appear the last judge. That man was wearing a black spectacles and a very formal suit, he was also wearing a tall long hat like a magician who was going to pull a rabbit out of his hat...

"Bonjour! Jeune Mesdames, comment est votre journée. (Hello! Young ladies, how's your day?)"

The five of them stunned once again, 'What did he say?' The five of them thought together. Miss Sanjou looks at their faces and understands, they didn't understand him...

"This is Moses Veldaous. He is from France."

"France..." Now they can see angels waving to them... Mr. Moses laughed and he says something the girls can't seem to understand.

"Bien, permet obtenir commencé... (Well, let's get started.)"

Miss Sanjou chuckled softly and translates back to them. "He says let's get started, are you all ready girls?"

"Yes!" The five of them cheered, thanks to the three judges 'cheer', Mio don't seem to be nervous anymore.

And their first song, My love is a staple.
