A/N: And I'm back with a new chapter of the All Worlds Alliance Stories! It's really been a while since I wrote a chapter in this fic and I'm really excited about this one!
ploychompoo2493 - As much as I love Big Hero Six, a storyline about the movie is up for debate.
Number01BlazblueFan - I have seen a lot of Kamen Rider shows, Build and Wizard, being my favorites. And Alex Mason, Jack Mitchell, Plutia, Peashy and Uzume are already part of the AWA.
And with that done, let's get this chapter started!
-Normal Earth-
Tokyo, Japan
It was a nice morning as we head towards a place called CiRCLE that is located somewhere in Tokyo. CiRCLE is a livehouse were numerous girl bands would perform and as stated in one chapter in Friendship Games, Chizuru Tachibana's band and Flash Drive were allowed to play their music there. The place also serves as some sort of cafe, a food stand and a music store.
The place was relatively quiet at the moment until a loud, screeching sound was heard. Then a familiar looking purple-colored retro van, drifting across the streets before stopping in front of CiRCLE's lot. Suddenly, the back doors of the van burst out open and Chizuru jumps out of it before landing down hard on the concrete, he was then followed by Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy with the latter running towards a nearby trash bin and then, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity Belle, Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle coming out of the vehicle.
Twilight is currently had her hair tied in a ponytail and she is currently wearing a light-blue shirt with a white collar, purple stripes and red ribbon tie, purple high-waist skirt with diamond designs, light-blue socks and purple rubber shoes.
Oddly enough, the girls are sporting a pretty fair complexion instead of their genuine skin color except for Fluttershy and Rarity since their complexion are pretty common in normal Earth.
Twilight turns to Shinozaki whom is still at the driver's seat, "Thanks for the safe driving, Shinozaki, we really appreciate it.'' she said with a forced smile.
Shinozaki turns to her while sporting battle-hardened smile, "No problem." he replied in a deep tone.
"What's up with you?!" Twilight exclaimed.
Trying to forget the horrible experience they had earlier, the girls plus Chizuru made their way towards the entrance of CiRCLE as Applejack looks around, "Hoowee~ Ah must say... these looks amazin'!" she commented in awe.
"I've been in several livehouses before but this place looks neat!" Sunset pointed out.
Pinkie Pie then spoke, "Everyone! Look! Look!" she called out, "They serve coffee and soft creams here!" she pointed out with a finger directed at a booth.
Twilight facefaulted, "I can see that, Pinkie." she replied.
Fluttershy then catches up with Chizuru, "So, you're band and the others had played here several times before, right?'' she pointed out.
The blonde nodded, "Eeyup!" he confirmed, "My band, After School Tea Time and Flash Drive became regular performers here.'' he said, "And I'm not one to boast but all of our bands earned ourselves quite a large number of fans." he claimed while slicking his backwards as the girls rolled their eyes in amusement, "Though... out of three bands, Flash Drive has the largest fanbase so far." he admitted.
Sunset snorted, "Of course." she mused.
"Not that I'm judging Flash's band's credibility to become popular...'' Rarity spoke, "But how did they become a lot more popular from the three of you?'' she asked.
"Well... you could say that Flash has something to do with it." Chizuru replied, "I mean... girls digs pretty boys and Flash is one.'' he pointed out, "And while their music is one of the factors of their sudden popularity, Flash became quite an attraction during their first gig here.'' he stated.
"Really? What did he do?" Sunset asked.
"Flash, once performed shirtless on stage, cue the girls screaming out of control in joy." Chizuru replied with a blank look.
Sunset burst out laughing as Rainbow had a look of disbelief, "Seriously? Flash performed shirtless?!" the rainbow-haired exclaimed.
Sunset then seized laughing, "That's definitely something Flash would do." she mused wiping a tear off her eye.
Applejack chuckled, "Maybe you should try and perform shirtless too, Chizuru." she suggested, "I'm pretty sure the girls would scream." she said.
"Oh, they will scream all right... in horror." Chizuru replied while putting a hand on the entrance door before opening it as the eight went inside, "Pardon our intrusion!" he announced themselves.
Inside the facility, we see a young woman at the counter and five girls gathered around at one table.
The young woman has a black hair with her fringe neatly sorted to her right with a bob cut all the way to her shoulder. She has fair skin and somewhat pink-red eyes. Her outfit consists of low-cut jeans with a white-blue horizontal lines shirt with a black cardigan and a red sandals. This is Marina Tsukishima.
The first girl has a short black hair with her short bangs partially tucked beneath her forelocks, one of which is dyed red and has a partially sharp dark red eyes. She wears a gray blazer jacket over a white blouse and a dark-green necktie, dark-green pleated skirt, black socks and brown shoes. This is Ran Mitake.
The second girl has a short, croppy ivory blonde hair which is slightly longer at the front than at the back. Her messy bangs are separated into sections and she has a big, sleepy-looking, blue-grey eyes. She wears a gray blazer jacket over a white blouse and a dark-green necktie, dark-green pleated skirt, black socks and brown shoes. This is Moca Aoba.
The third girl has a medium-length, pale pink hair worn in low pigtails with a tuft of straightened bangs while the remainder is layered, and has a fair skin and green eyes with sharp corners. She wears a gray blazer jacket over a white blouse and a dark-green necktie, dark-green pleated skirt, black socks and brown shoes. This is Himari Uehara.
The fourth girl has the appearance of a young adult and has a slanted turquoise eyes and a long, sleek maroon hair. She wears a gray blazer jacket over a white blouse and a dark-green necktie, dark-green pleated skirt, black socks and brown shoes. This is Tomoe Udagawa.
The fifth girl has a soft brown eyes and chin-length chestnut brown hair in a bob, and has a small side-swept fringe. She wears a gray blazer jacket over a white blouse and a dark-green necktie, dark-green pleated skirt, black socks and brown shoes. This is Tsugumi Hazawa.
Chizuru and the girls' arrival caught their attentions, "Ah! Tachibana-san, welcome!" Marina greeted with a smile.
"Sup, Marina-dono." Chizuru greeted back before taking notice of the girls, "And look who it is... if isn't it, Afterglow!" he mused, "I wasn't expecting you girls here.'' he admitted.
Ran turns to him, "We're surprise to see you here as well, Tachibana." she said back.
Tomoe then took noticed the girls behind her, "By the way, who are these girls?'' she asked.
Chizuru gestures a hand to the Rainbooms, "These are my friends, Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkamena Diane Pie also known as Pinkie, Rainbow Dash, Rarity Belle, Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle, they are a band from Uzumaki Villa called The Rainbooms.'' he introduced, "I've brought them here today in hopes of Marina-dono would allow them to perform here.'' he stated.
Marina smiled upon hearing that, "Really? That's great!" she cheered, "The more bands playing here in CiRCLE, the better." she mused.
"Wow! She accepted us that easily." Applejack muttered in surprise.
Chizuru claps his hands, "Great!" he cheered, "So, is there an open date where they can perform here?'' he asked.
Marina smiled, "I'm glad you ask!" she said as she brought out a flyer, "CiRCLE will be holding an event this weekend.'' she claimed handing the flyer to Chizuru, "I think performing there is a good start for these girls." she pointed out, "Though... since they're new here, I suggest that they should performed first.'' she advised.
Sunset nodded, "Sure, we don't mind." she replied in agreement.
Applejack tips her hat, "Playing first ain't that bad." she pointed out.
"I'm cool with it." Rainbow admitted.
Marina turns to Chizuru, "If you don't mind..." she trailed.
Chizuru chuckled, "All right, all right...'' he mused, "I'll ask Ritsu and Flash if they can perform this weekend as well.'' he complied.
Marina's smile grew bigger, "Thank you very much." she said in gratitude with a bow.
Ran then approaches Sunset, "Nice to meet you, girls.'' she greeted, "I'm Ran Mitake, the vocalist of my band." she introduced herself.
"Nice to meet you, too." Sunset greeted back.
"So, what instruments do you play?'' Ran asked.
"I play the guitar." Sunset replied, "And so does, Rainbow Dash." she pointed out, "Rarity is in keytar, Pinkie is on drums, Fluttershy plays the tambourine, Applejack is on bass and Twilight is our vocalist." she listed off.
"Actually... all of us can sing but since I can't play any instruments, I became their main vocalist." Twilight admitted.
"I see." Ran replied.
Tomoe chuckled, "I think there's nothing wrong if you can't play any instrument.'' she reassured, "As long as you had fun performing with your band then that's all that matters.'' she said with a smile.
Twilight smiled back, "Thanks.'' she replied.
Pinkie then got in front of Ran, much to the girl's surprise, "Wowee! I like the highlights of your hair!" the pinkhead complimented, "Actually... you overall style looks good! You're like a darker and edgier version of Rainbow Dash." she stated.
"Hey! Am I not edgy enough for you?!" Rainbow complained earning a giggle from everyone.
Ran then spoke, "Umm... thanks..." she replied with uncertain looks.
"Oooh~ I'm really liking you!" Pinkie cheered with her face getting closer and closer to Ran, "What's your contact number? Where do you live? When is your birthday? What's your favorite holiday? Can I be your friend?!" the pinkhead bombarded Ran with so many question, much to her disbelief and bewilderment.
Fortunately for Ran, Applejack pulls Pinkie away from her, "Simmer down, Sally! You're kinda overwhelming her there!" she pointed out, "Sorry 'bout that, Sugarcube, Pinkie is always like this whenever she meets someone new." she apologized.
"It's fine..." Ran replied.
Moca chuckled, "I like her.'' she admitted with a monotonous voice, "Her hair reminds me of a cotton candy." she mused.
"Moca-chan! You can't call someone's hair like that!" Himari scolded in panic.
Pinkie giggled, "Don't worry, I get that a lot." she reassured.
As the girls from Afterglow and Rainbooms are getting along well with each other, Chizuru leans towards the counter when Tsugumi approaches him.
"A-Ano... Tachibana-san?" Tsugumi called out.
Chizuru turns to her, "What's up, Hazawa-dono?'' he replied.
"Is your band gonna take part in the event this weekend?" Tsugumi asked.
Chizuru shrugged his shoulders, "Might as well." he replied, "It might help boost my band's popularity to next level." he said, "I mean... between After School Tea Time, Flash Drive and my band, we have the least of fanbase.'' he admitted.
"I think your band is fairly popular." Tsugumi pointed out.
Chizuru smiled, "Thanks." he said.
Tsugumi placed her hands behind her back, "So, uhh... are you free after the event?'' she asked with a small tint of red on her cheeks.
Chizuru thought about it, "Yeah, I'm free." he replied, "Why do you ask?'' he asked.
Tsugumi shifted nervously, "Well... if you don't mind... would you like to hang out with us after that?'' she suggested, "You know... to get to know more about each other since we seldom meet." she reasoned.
Chizuru thought about it and realized that she has a point, "Sure, I don't mind.'' he replied with grin. Tsugumi smiled back, Chizuru then noticed something, "Uh-oh... Fluttershy is frozen in fear by Mitake-dono's presence, better go help her." he said, "Pardon me, Hazawa-dono." he quipped making a beeline toward the animal lover.
Tsugumi watches him go when she noticed Marina looking at her with a sly smile, "W-What?'' she asked nervously.
"That's no good, Tsugumi-san, Tachibana-san already had a girlfriend you know." Marina reminded with a teasing grin.
Tsugumi blushed madly before looking away, "I-I-I'm aware of that." she admitted as Marina giggled.
Back with the girls and the blonde boy, Rainbow Dash suddenly came up with an idea, "Hey! How about we show each other's skills in music?" she suggested, "I wanna show everyone what kind of music the Rainbooms can do and at the same time, I wanna see what kind of music Afterglow plays!" she stated.
Tomoe nodded, "Hey, I like that idea!" she admitted, "What do you think, Ran?'' she asked.
"I don't mind." Ran replied.
Chizuru crosses his arms, "Wooh! I don't mind a small taste before the event." he mused before turning to Marina, "What do you think, Marina-dono?'' he called out, "Would you mind letting them use the studio a bit?'' he asked.
Marina shook her head, "Not at all! Plus, I wanna hear first hand of what kind of music the Rainbooms had." she replied.
"Well then... let's get our instruments first from the van." Applejack suggested, "Ah'm pretty sure Shinozaki is waiting for us." she pointed out.
Later, we see Chizuru and the girls alongside Tomoe and Himari gathered around the purple van. As the Rainbooms and Chizuru are getting their instruments out, Tomoe and Himari were having a conversation with Shinozaki.
"It's really been a while since we saw you, Shinozaki-san." Himari pointed out.
"The last time you were here with your girlfriend is during Tachibana-san's first gig." Tomoe mused, "How is your relationship going?'' she asked.
Shinozaki shrugged his shoulders, "Oh... our relationship is doing good." he replied, "Been talking a lot lately.'' he said.
"I'm curious... what kind of conversation do you guys have?'' Himari asked.
Shinozaki shrugged his shoulders once more, "Well... aside comic books and video games, we talks a lot about my take on physics, her sudden interest in neurobiology, and most recently, the possibility of our having a child together.'' he stated.
Tomoe and Himari had their mouths wide open upon hearing his last statement which also caught the attention of Chizuru and the girls whom proceeds to stare at the super nerd in shock and disbelief with Rarity nearly dropping her instrument in shock.
Rainbow Dash then spoke, "Dude! You and Konata haven't graduated high school yet you're considering having a baby?" she exclaimed in disbelief.
Shinozaki turns to her, "Shamal-sensei pointed out that between the two of us, our genetic material has the potential of producing the first in a line of intellectually superior, benign overlords to guide humanity to a brighter tomorrow." he explained.
"I'm guessing that future historians will condemn us for not taking this opportunity to kill Shinozaki." Chizuru grumbled in annoyance.
After bringing in their instruments in the studio inside CiRCLE, we see Ran, Moca, Tomoe, Tsugumi and Himari on stage with their instruments in hand as the Rainbooms, Chizuru and Shinozaki sitting on the floor to watch while Marina watches everyone by the doorway.
Ran stood in front of the mic stand, "Okay... this song is titled, Y.O.L.O!." she announced.
And with that, the girls began to play their instruments as Ran began to sing:

After their performance, everyone let's out an applause as Afterglow took a small bow in gratitude.
"Wow! They're really good!" Sunset complimented.
"Ah'll say... they came in hot from start ta finish." Applejack stated.
Rainbow Dash then spoke, "I had to admit, the girls are awesome on their own right.'' she admitted, "Now I can't wait to see how'll they perform at the actual event." she said in excitement.
And with that... it's the Rainboom's turn to perform. As the CHS-based band on stage with their instruments in hand as the girls from Afterglow stood next to Chizuru and Shinozaki to observe.
Rainbow Dash stood in front of the mic stand, "Okay... we call this song, Right There in Front of Me." she announced.
And with that, the girls began to play their instruments as Twilight began to sing:
I spent so much time searchin'
Lookin' for somethin' more
Diggin' holes too deep
And opening every door
And when you stand too close
Yeah, the picture's never clear
And when you look too far away
It all but disappears
And it was right (right) there in front of me (Oh-oh, ah-oh-oh)
Just too close for me to see (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
Sometimes the things you want
Are not the things you need
And it was right there in front of me
There was a time before
I didn't know where I belonged
I thought I needed more
And that I couldn't get along
But who I am
Was all I ever needed
And when I faced that test
I finally succeeded
And it was right (right) there in front of me (Oh-oh, ah-oh-oh)
Just too close for me to see (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
Sometimes the things you want
Are not the things you need
And it was right there in front of me
Oh, whoa-oh, oh-whoa-oh
And it's all I'll ever need
Oh, whoa-oh, oh-whoa-oh
And it was right there in front of me
Oh, whoa-oh, oh-whoa-oh
And it's all I'll ever need
Oh, whoa-oh, oh-whoa-oh
And it was right there in front of me-ee-ee
Oh oh oh
All this time
It was in front of me
After their performance, everyone let's out an applause as the Rainbooms took a small bow in gratitude.
Chizuru crosses his arms, "So, what do you think about their performance?'' he asked turning to the girls of Afterglow.
Moca tilts her head, "Sugoi~ They're good." she complimented.
Tomoe nodded, "Yeah... their music isn't different from the others but it feels unique on their own right.'' she commented with a smile, "I must say Pinkie is really amazing in drums! Her skills is full of energy that it gets me all pump up!" she exclaimed in excitement.
Tsugumi then spoke, "Rarity-san is good in playing the keytar.'' she pointed out, "Does she play the piano?'' she asked.
Chizuru nodded, "It was originally the instrument she wanted to play untilPinkie managed to convince to take on the keytar.'' he explained.
Ran then spoke, "Their song... it feels like... it feels like they're telling a story." she pointed out.
Himari nodded, "Yeah, I thought so, too." she said in agreement.
Chizuru smiled, "And that is why the Rainbooms is a very unique band.'' he mused.
Later that day, we see the Rainbooms, Afterglow, Marina, Chizuru and Shinozaki gathered in the front lobby having a conversation, it is there where the Rainbooms and Shinozaki realized that Tsugumi has a crush on Chizuru, much to their dread.
Sunset then spoke, "So, uhh, aside from you girls... are there any more bands performing at the event?'' she asked.
"Well... there's Roselia, Pastel✽Palettes and Hello, Happy World!." Himari listed off.
"And with the addition of the Rainbooms, Chizuru's band, After School Tea Time and Flash Drive...'' Marina added, "The event this weekend gotten a lot more exciting!" she exclaimed in joy.
"How come no one says the actual name of my band?" Chizuru demanded in annoyance.
Marina rubs the back of her head, "Sorry... the name of your band is pretty mouthful to pronounce." she stated.
Ran then turns to Chizuru, "I'm curious though... why did you named your band, the Miserable Pile of Secrets?'' she asked.
Applejack then spoke, "It's actually derogatory insult towards him.'' she answered, much to their surprise, "I still have no idea why he is embracing it though.'' she admitted.
Chizuru then realized something, "Wait a minute... out of all the bands, Uehara-dono mentioned, I feel something is missing.'' he claimed.
Before anyone could speak, the front entrance door flew open as a girl came running in with another one following from behind. The first girl has a purple eyes and brown hair worn loose with segments pulled up into star-shaped buns and her short bangs are framed by longer forelocks held by red star-shaped clips. She wears a brown uniform dress with white collar and red ribbon laced, black socks and brown shoes. This is Kasumi Toyama.
The second girl has long, slightly curled blonde hair worn in pigtails held with ribbon or bands. Her bangs are mostly spread, with the exception of a few curled strands that stick up. Her forelocks are held with cross-shaped clips and has gentle light brown eyes. She wears a brown uniform dress with white collar and red ribbon laced, black thigh-highs and brown shoes. This is Arisa Ichigaya.
"Marina-san!" Kasumi called out, "We're to sign up for the upcoming events!" she announced in excitement.
"Kasumi!" Arisa exclaimed in a scolding tone, "Don't make decisions so easily!" she exclaimed.
Then Chizuru realized what's missing, "Oh right... Poppin'Party is not in the list.'' he mused.
Kasumi then took notice of everyone in present, "Oh! Afterglow and Tachibana-san!" she called out, "Nice to see you all here!" she greeted.
"Hello, Toyama-dono and little miss angry twintails." Chizuru greeted back with an evil grin.
Arisa glares at the blonde, "You again?" she spoke, "I thought I told you not to call me that!" she exclaimed in annoyance.
"Come on now, I know you love it deep inside." Chizuru teased.
"You..." Arisa growled in anger.
As Arisa began to yell at a smiling Chizuru, Rarity leaned towards Twilight, "That girl might get along well with Kenji.'' the fashionista whispered, "I mean... she is almost a par with Kenji's anger issues." she pointed out.
"It's no wonder Chizuru wasted no time pushing her buttons." Twilight muttered in reply.
After that, Kasumi and Arisa introduced themselves with the latter restraining herself from outright killing Chizuru, the Rainbooms would then introduced themselves back at the girls.
As Kasumi signs her band for the event to Marina, Arisa let's out a huff, "Honestly... can I go one day without anyone getting into my nerves." she grumbled.
"You're just easy to anger, Arisa-chan." Moca spoke with a small grin, "Of course, some people would take advantage of that for a few laughs." she pointed out rather bluntly.
Arisa facefaulted, "You sure don't hold back of what you say.'' she grumbled.
Kasumi then came back to Arisa, "Arisa-chan! Marina-san said that we can perform in the event this weekend!" she cheered.
Arisa looks away, "Good for you.'' she mumbled.
Fluttershy then turns to Chizuru, "I really look forward for the event this weekend." she said, "But I'm pretty nervous at the same time since it will be the first time that we'll be performing in front of different people.'' she admitted.
Chizuru then places a hand on her shoulder, "Don't worry, I'm sure that you'll do good in that.'' he reassured with a smile, making Fluttershy smile back.
Meanwhile, Tsugumi watches Chizuru's interaction with Fluttershy and wonders if she's his girlfriend because up to now, they still had no idea who is his girlfriend.
Kasumi then turns to Applejack, "So, how long you girls have been in a band?'' she asked.
Applejack nodded, "Well, sugarcube, it all started when an event called the Musical Showcase was announced in our school and we wanted to participate, so we decided ta create a band." she explained.
"Though... it almost didn't work out at first because of our differences." Rainbow admitted.
Shinozaki then spoke, "True... your differences may be a factor your band's troubles but it's your ego that nearly led your band to near downfall.'' he stated with a blank look.
"I SAID I WAS SORRY!" Rainbow exclaimed in annoyance, much to everyone's amusement, "Geez... just wrote a song all about me and I'm labeled for life.'' she grumbled.
"Well... that's really understandable having troubles when starting band." Ran spoke, "It's truly not easy no matter how talented you are.'' she pointed out.
"But as long as you had the heart and dedication, you know you're doing something good." Tomoe said with a smile.
"That I can agree with." Shinozaki replied.
Kasumi then got pump up, "Okay! I'm so excited for the event this weekend!" she exclaimed, "Let's make our performances twinkle like the stars!" she cheered with everyone cheering with her in agreement.
"Save that spunk for the actual event." Arisa stated.
-BREAK-
Later that evening around the town, we see a lot of people walking around the area hanging out with friends and colleagues after a long day of work and school. In front of a Meat Shop, we see Taichi "Tai" Yagami, Renji Abarai and Tetsuya Kuroko eating some fried croquette while a girl watches them from the shop's window.
The girl has brown eyes and short, bright orange hair. Her bangs and forelocks frame her face, and she has two long cowlick split at the center. She wears a brown uniform dress with white collar and red ribbon laced underneath an orange(Naruto approved!) apron, black socks and brown shoes. This is Hagumi Kitazawa.
After taking a bite of the croquette, Renji nodded in satisfaction, "Men... this is good!" he mused before turning to Hagumi, "Hey girly, I wanna whole tray of this stuff, I don't care how much it cost because I'll pay it!" he exclaimed.
Tai took a bite his croquette before raising a hand, "Mmm~ Make that two trays, I'm buying as well!" he stated.
Hagumi smiled brightly before zipping, she then came back with two trays filled freshly-cooked croquettes, "Here you go!" she cheered, "Help yourselves, there's more where that came from!" she claimed.
"All right!" Renji and Tai cheered as Tetsuya casually took a bite his croquette.
Meanwhile in a local bakery called Yamabuki Bakery Shop, we see Chizuru alongside Shinozaki, Fluttershy and Moca looking around the place while a girl is seen placing a basket of bread on one shelf.
The girl has a slanted royal-blue eyes and long, curly brown hair worn in a high ponytail, usually tied up in a ribbon. She has spread-out bangs and shoulder-length curled forelocks. She wears a white shirt underneath a white apron, brown short pants and brown sandals. This is Saaya Yamabuki.
Saaya chuckled, "As expected of Kasumi-san.'' she spoke, "I'm not surprised that she signed us up to perform in CiRCLE this weekend." she stated, "But I got to admit, I am excited for the event." she admitted.
Chizuru is seen staring at a tray of donut, "I guess that once Kasumi had her eyes set onto something, she won't stop until she gets it.'' he said with a chuckle, "So, I guess I'll be seeing you along with the chocolate cornet-lover and Miss Stare-a-lot to nowhere this weekend." he pointed out.
Saaya chuckled nervously, "I'm sure Rimi-rin and Tae-san are excited to be there.'' she replied.
Meanwhile with Moca and Fluttershy, the two girls are currently in front of another shelves of bread, Shinozaki is standing behind them while checking his phone.
"Yamabuki Bread are the best!" Moca exclaimed in excitement despite her monotonous voice, "Every time I eat one, I feel like I'm in heaven~" she mused.
Fluttershy took a sniff in the air, "Hmm... the bread does smell good." she admitted, "You really love the bread here, Miss Moca." she pointed out.
Moca nodded, "I am... after all, Yamabuki Bread's #1 fan!" she claimed with a proud look.
Fluttershy giggled before turning to Shinozaki, "By the way, Shinozaki...'' she called getting his attention, "Is your band doing any performances these days?'' she asked.
"Oh... we broke up." Shinozaki replied, "Our band, From Bad to Worse, is just one time thing." he explained.
"Really?'' Fluttershy asked in surprise, "That's too bad... you guys were really good back in the Battle of the Bands." she pointed out.
"It's just one performance, Fluttershy, I doubt everyone even remembers it." Shinozaki replied.
After a few minutes, Chizuru, Fluttershy and Shinozaki left the bakery, leaving Saaya having a conversation with Moca.
"Nee... Saaya... you think that girl is Tachibana-san's girlfriend?" Moca asked.
Saaya placed a finger under her chin, "I don't think so... they seem close but I think they're just friends." she stated, "Why did you ask?'' she asked.
Moca shrugged her shoulders, "Aside from feeling bad for her Tsugu, I'm just curious." she replied.
"I see... I forgot that Tsugumi has a crush on Tachibana-san." Saaya muttered.
"Not only Tsugu... but also that girl from Hello, Happy World! as well." Moca thought.
