Welcome to season two of "Love Live But Not Really!" where the Love Live characters are-oh wait, that's the wrong script...This is Documentary 2...Forget I just said that!

But in all seriousness, this is Documentary 2 (super creative, I know), the second season of Love Live School Idol Project, and the fic that has had nothing to do with being a documentary since the second chapter of the first installment.

There is a romance tag this time. Because the yuri is strong within this fic now for some reason. (Though who really needs a reason for yuri? :3)

Disclaimer: I don't own Love Live.


"Congratulations on becoming Student Council President!" Honoka blinked, dumbfounded, as Hanayo, Maki, and Kotori showered her with confetti. In her shock, she couldn't make a comeback quick enough before they pushed past her and walked into her room as if they lived there.

"Wai- I'm the new…" Honoka finally caught up with the current situation she was in. "Why are all of you walking into my room?! I didn't let you in!" Despite this, she simply closed the door and sat back down at her desk.

"It's pretty much accepted that Muse holds no secrets from each other." Hanayo told her, though Honoka suspected that the first year was only saying that so they could read her manga in peace. Maki had already re-discovered the manga stack and was distributing the volumes to the other two girls. "Ah, I already read this volume. Pass me the next one."

"Here." Sadly, Honoka had become accustomed to the first years, particularly Hanayo, visiting for the sole purpose of reading. She just wasn't sure exactly when her room became a gathering place for everyone else, since they seemed to hold more meetings in her house/room than anywhere else outside of school.

"I thought you'd be more panicked about being the next president." Eri said with a tone of disappointment as she took her normal space in Honoka's bedroom, sitting on Honoka's desk chair.

"No, I'm just refusing to acknowledge it. Besides, I never even ran for it, so…" Honoka wished she had closed out the game she was playing on her laptop, and now hoped desperately that Eri wouldn't turn and look at it.

"Ah, if that's what you're concerned about, me and Umi-chan nominated you and everyone in school just went for it!" Kotori said cheerfully from her seat on Honoka's bed.

"Having Eri and Nozomi supporting you helped too, since they were on the student council before." Umi said in an attempt to be reassuring, completely misunderstanding Honoka's hope that it was a joke on the part of Eri.

"Seriously, Honoka? How have you not known until now?" Nico scoffed. "The posters were all over the halls and those two spent a lot of time handing out flyers."

"I…" Honoka didn't know how to explain that she had been pretty much going to school and leaving as soon as she could, so posts on the bulletin boards had never interested her. Or that she didn't go out of her way to check on each of her friends and see how they were doing. It was more often that they invited themselves to her room than the other way around. "I must have...not noticed?"

"Anyway." Eri said, cutting off Nico's next scathing comment. "Honoka is the new Student Council President-" As if they had been waiting for her to say that, the other members clapped, including the first years who didn't even look up from their manga. "-on top of being Muse's center, so it's fine to put more pressure on her."

"H-Hey!" Honoka protested weakly, then looked helplessly as her friends all nodded in agreement.

"Ah, Kotori and I are on the student council too, so we'll help you out if you need it." This time, Umi was on the right track and Honoka mouthed a silent 'thank you' to the other second years.

"By the way, your first task is to present a speech at the upcoming assembly." Nozomi informed her, much to Honoka's inner distress. "But Umi-chan covered you this time, and wrote a speech."

"All you have to do is memorize it, Honoka." Umi said, handing Honoka a somewhat crumpled piece of paper.

"Not to put more pressure on you or anything, but the speech is going to be filmed so don't mess up." Eri said teasingly. "And with that, we'll take our leave so the new Student Council President can get acquainted with her new role."

"Nico-chi, wanna get a parfait?" Nozomi asked as she opened the door and held it open for the other third year.

"Yeah, we'll go there, and you'll order like, a giant one that you want to share with me but I just want a normal drink and you'll make yourself sick because you refuse to admit that you can't finish it by yourself." Nico said coldly.

"Great! Let's go!" Nozomi smiled despite Nico's remark because she had stopped listening after the shorter girl's first word.

"Umi-chan, can we go to the arcade? I want to practice dancing there again!" Umi smiled gently as Kotori pulled her from the room, still going on about what she wanted to do once they got to their destination.

"Well, good luck on the speech, Honoka." And with that, the person she considered the biggest pain in her life left. Honoka looked at the paper in her hand, making her way to the seat at her desk while reading the speech Umi had written for her.


"So...do you three plan on leaving? Preferably sometime soon?" The question was directed at the first year trio, still huddled together as they read. Maki shook her head, which was better than most days, where none of the trio even bothered responding to her. Honoka had every right to kick them out; she just never did, so the girls stayed as long as they wanted to.

"And, in the end, she didn't remember a single word of the speech." Honoka lifted her face to see who was speaking, then lowered it again. She didn't want to deal with anyone at the moment, particularly not Eri, who made her feel weird. She couldn't exactly pin down what she felt about the older student, other than she was a good friend, because she mostly felt confused when Eri looked at her, and it pissed her off that she was confused which just led to more confusion as to why and the cycle continued. She sighed, her thoughts now on Eri and not the failure of a first speech she had just done.

"Well, the producer was okay with it. Said it was a very Honoka-like performance. Not sure if she meant the on-camera Honoka or this one." Umi had reassured her immediately after she walked off-stage following the messed up speech, though Honoka still felt bad about not being able to memorize the speech Umi put time into preparing for her. She could feel it already; she was going to get dragged into doing more than she should for the sake of her friends, as she had already done once before. She shuddered at the memory of going so overboard she collapsed during a live.

"They also want us to start preparing for entrance into Love Live." Nico reminded them. "Since we're doing the actual thing this time, we have to make our own way into the contest." There was the pressure from that as well. Honoka had to figure out how they were going to participate in Love Live when her only previous experience was the fake Love Live set up by the producers to make the real event more popular. "The main decisions have to be made by Honoka but I say we should try for it."

"Eh? What happened to the Nico-chi who was only interested in earning extra money for her family?" Nozomi teased, causing Nico to scowl with displeasure.

"They've pretty much locked me out of the house most of the time now, saying that I should spend more time with Muse." Nico admitted sullenly. "So, we've got to make it to the finals or this will be a very short and boring season."

"They could film us crying for like, five episodes after we lose the preliminaries if they really wanted to drag it out." Maki suggested.

"That's just saying we're going to lose right from the beginning. I don't think we'd lose that easily!" Rin retorted, then sank back in her seat, embarrassed.

"We won't lose easily." Honoka said, finally sitting up straight. "We're fake idols, sure, but we wouldn't lose easily. But...I'm not sure if we're up for doing this."

"Mayke up your mind. 'We won't lose easily' but you're not sure we're up for it?" Hanayo scoffed. "It's either one or the other, not both."

"Honoka's just worried about passing out on us again." Like always, Eri seemed to know exactly what she was thinking about. Honoka just couldn't understand how, and it contributed to the general confusion she felt towards the blonde. It hadn't been like this when they started filming the first season. Back then, she felt on equal footing with the other girl, even though Eri was her senior. But as the season continued, she found herself unable to understand Eri as much as Eri was understanding her, and it both angered and saddened her. Angered because she couldn't understand why she wanted to understand Eri and saddened because she just couldn't grasp what Eri thought in the same way that Eri did for her. She missed the next part of the conversation because of the confusion in her mind.

"Honoka, we were saying that you could rely on us." Nozomi said gently.

"Not all of us said that but whatever…" Nico muttered, trailing off after Nozomi glared at her.

And so, it was decided that they would do their best for Love Live, after they filmed a more dramatic take on Honoka's worry about dragging her friends down.


Honoka's developing feelings for Eri (which were pretty pronounced at the end of the first fic) is also developing into a subplot (kind of?) for this series.

Who knows what Nico and Nozomi are up to.

Umi and Kotori seem to be spending a lot of time at the arcade or watching movies.

Don't think Rin and Hanayo seem to be getting anywhere either.

I know Anju and Erena are pretty stable. Probably. Most likely. Haven't seen them in a while.

Is Tsubasa still buying Maki merchandise?

Let's just start a garden of lilies here.

This outro is a mess. I'm sorry. Reviews?
