Hello all. Welcome to "Brand New Page." For new readers, please refer to the helpdesk on your left. For returning members, please see the receptionist down the hall. Thank you.

So yeah...this is my first fanfiction in about 2 years, so I don't really know what to put here other than enjoy. Oh, for the three of you that have read my fanfictions before...I hope you don't take those stories into account when reading this. My writing style has changed (I hope) and I have help from my good friend, Bloodstained Comma (check her out for some great Death Note and Harry Potter work). I'm also going to be taking my time through all of this. I've been planning this one out a while before starting it and getting a lot of guitarical info from Comma.

So...here goes.

Oh, one more thing: I don't own K-On!, but if I did, it probably wouldn't be as yuri-ish. Oh, and that's another thing. Despite the overflow of yuri fics for K-ON! This fic will have none of it (except maybe from Sawa-baka-sensei...just for the comedy.)

*Sigh* One last disclaimer: I'm not exactly sure of the genderical nature of the school, but for my intents and purposes, Sakura High School is officially co-ed.

Aye...one MORE disclaimer: I also don't hold any of the rights to any Gibson guitars or any other equipment used in this fanfiction. Seriously, I don't own crap.

"Well what were you doing?" a female voice asked from somewhere around the corner to another person. The orange-haired boy paid it little heed as he walked down the road. He wasn't one to eavesdrop.

"Practicing on guitar..." said a different voice. Roy's ears perked up...Alright, now he was interested. He tried to figure out where the voices were coming from and focused on the area ahead of him. The girls were on the road that turned right just ahead. And it sounded like they were moving away from him.

Roy decided to follow them and figure out what exactly they were talking about. He walked nonchalantly around the corner and spotted the girls in question: two girls in school uniforms. Roy couldn't get a good view of either girl from the back, but one was shorter than the other; the shorter had short light brown hair while the other had short black hair.

"I've been practicing for the concert for the new students," the shorter girl said. The other girl made a small sound of admiration as they continued walking. Roy wondered silently if they would notice if he got closer. "I'm working hard to make the concert a success," the brown-haired girl continued. "And then we will get the first years."

'They must go to one of the nearby high schools,' Roy thought as he followed the girls. Since he was going to be attending Sakura High School he knew that the school would be holding a day for new students to get acquainted in the school and even possibly find a club to join. 'I wonder if they're talking about a club at one of the schools.'

Roy stopped walking when the shorter girl turned and pointed a finger sharply at the girl next to her. She was saying something to the girl about a music club, but Roy was paying more attention to the girl's face. 'Cute...' he thought dully. 'She's cute. I think she was the one that was talking about practicing on guitar earlier. If she goes to Sakura, I might have to check out their music club.' Roy looked down at his watch and noticed the time. 'Dang, I gotta head home. Dad wanted me back soon to help him with the new inventory.'

Roy turned around and walked away slowly. Nodoka turned and watched him walk away as Yui continued on about how she was trying to destroy the Light Music Club. 'Who was that? Was he following us?' Nodoka asked herself worriedly.

The day of first year orientation...

Roy held a stoic expression on his face as he walked around the school grounds. Sakura High School wasn't very exciting so far. He hadn't seen anything about the music club performance he had heard about from those girls he overheard. He also hadn't seen the cute brown-haired girl either. Roy thought he might have noticed the other girl around, and that was basically the entire reason he hadn't gone home yet: if one of the girls was here, so was the other, and then so was the music club performance.

Come to think of it, he did remember hearing something about the music club here. 'Oh yeah, those weird animal cosplayers were handing out pamphlets to advertise the concert I think,' Roy reminded himself. 'Where did they say the performance was going to be?' Roy continued walking through the outside grounds of the school as he tried to remember the location. Then an idea clicked in his head.

'I should probably just go check out the music club room,' he told himself. 'Someone there would probably know where it was.' So Roy set off to find the music club room. However, Roy had no idea where said club room was and decided to ask one of the teachers where it might be after a few minutes of aimless searching.

"Umm... sensei, where is the music club room?" he asked a female teacher that was standing behind a counter. A sign hanging from the counter said "Directions," so Roy assumed she was supposed to be showing the new students where to go to find certain clubs.

"Light Music club..." the teacher repeated as she searched through her list of club locations. "Ah yes. Building C, third floor at the top of the stairs." She smiled at Roy, who returned the smile and thanked her.

Roy quickly found building C and entered. The wooden railing of the stairs had several turtles carved into it as he continued up. Upon reaching the stairs leading up to the third floor, Roy happened to notice two girls (probably first years, by their looks) coming down the stairs. The door to what Roy assumed to be the Keion club's room was closing behind them, so they had apparently just left the room.

"Umm..." he said to get their attention. The two girls stopped. One of the girls was slightly taller than the other, but both girls had light brown hair similar to the girl Roy had seen the other day. In fact, the taller of the two looked remarkably like the girl; it was possible she might be related. Putting his thoughts aside quickly, he pointed up the stairs and asked, "Is that the room for the Light Music club?"

Both girls nodded. The taller girl smiled and said, "Yeah. Were you thinking about joining?"

"Not sure," Roy responded. "I was actually looking to find out where the concert they were planning on holding was going to be." 'Although now that I realize it, I could have asked the sensei at the information desk. Too late now, I suppose.'

The shorter girl answered, "Oh, it's being held in Auditorium B. It's directly across the front courtyard from this building."

Roy nodded his head and smiled. "Thanks."

Both girls answered, "No problem." They smiled back before walking back down the stairs.

Roy turned back and looked at the doors at the top of the stairs. 'I guess it wouldn't hurt to meet them for just a few minutes,' he told himself as he began ascending the stairs. He had to admit he was a bit nervous. He normally was when formally meeting people. It wasn't like just asking a question in the hallway.

Roy knocked on the door. He heard a feminine voice yell, "Come in," and he pushed the door open slowly.

He poked his head in and said, "Umm, is this the Light Music club?" The four girls on the inside looked at him as he entered. Sure enough, the cute girl from before was there. She was sitting near what looked like a Heritage Cherry Sunburst Les Paul from what Roy could tell. She certainly must have been the girl that was talking about guitar practice before.

As one of the girls, a midnight-blue-haired one, answered, "Yeah," Roy noticed something very strange about the girls' attire: all four of them were wearing jogging suits. Roy's expression flattened a bit as he took in the scene: four girls in jogging outfits in a music room drinking tea and eating cake. Behind the girls was a miniature stage with a drum kit and a keyboard set up. Near the blue-haired girl was a bass, Fender Precision Bass according to the shape and logo on the headstock, and left-handed by the way the body shape was inverted from a regular Fender Precision.

Roy snapped out of his thoughts as a short-haired girl wearing a hair band asked him, "Were you looking to join the club?" All of the girls looked hopeful. Roy looked at the brown-haired girl he had seen the other day. The expression on her face was possibly more hopeful than the others', almost to the point of pleading.

Roy nodded slowly as a slight blush crept into his cheeks. "I was thinking about it," he said quietly. He kept an air of disinterest about him; he didn't want to get the girls' hopes up and then bring them crashing down. "What kind of music do you normally play?" he asked.

The girls looked at the each other. They had never really defined what type of music "light music" meant. The blue-haired girl looked back at Roy and answered, "I guess the closest definition would be soft rock or pop." Two of the other girls nodded in approval, but the last girl, the cute girl from before, still looked a little confused.

Roy nodded in acceptance. "Oh, sorry," he said quickly. "My name is Roy. Can I ask all of your names?"

The cute girl with the Les Paul answered quickly, "My name is Yui!" She was apparently an energetic person. Yui then turned and continued, "And that's Mio-chan;" she pointed to the girl with the bass; "Mugi-chan;" she pointed to the girl with long blonde hair that was sitting at a table away from the stage; "And Ritsu-chan!" Yui finally pointed to the final girl who was sitting on a bench near the stage.

"Yui, we can introduce ourselves," Ritsu said.

Yui simply scratched the back of her head. "Ah, sorry, sorry."

Roy smiled. The expression on Yui's face was very cute. He snapped back to reality quickly before looking back at all of the girls. "Umm, do you mind if listen to you all play a little?" he asked.

Mio looked at the other girls. Ritsu answered before anyone else, "Yeah, of course! Come on, girls!" The girls took their places and played a short song with Yui doing vocals. (A/N: I imagine here that the club plays "Cagayake Girls!" the opening theme from the anime and only the one minute and thirty second-long version used there.)

Roy nodded in approval. The song sounded good; Ritsu was a little ahead in her drumming rhythm, but it seemed like the other girls adapted to it rather quickly; it was probably a typical occurrence with Ritsu. Roy clapped softly as the girls finished their song. "You all sound great!" he said with a bright smile.

All of the girls beamed happily back down at Roy before exiting the stage area and moving to sit back down. Mio looked at the clock on the wall behind Roy before a shocked expression crossed her face. "We need to be down in the auditorium in 20 minutes!" she said quickly. Turning back to Roy, she said, "Sorry, but we are going to have to cut this short. You can head out to the auditorium to listen to our full performance though."

Roy smiled. "Sure, I'll head on down. Nice meeting all of you," he called back as he left the room.

Roy smiled as the sound of hundreds of new students clapping and cheering filled the auditorium. 'Well...the lyrics were a bit strange, but it was a good opening song, I suppose,' he thought to himself. 'I wonder who wrote the lyrics for the song, though. I'll have to ask later. I think they wanted anyone interested in joining to come by a little after the concert.' Roy let his thoughts go as Yui began speaking to the new students.

"When I first heard of the Light Music Club," Yui was saying, "I thought it was for light and simple music. I thought I would be alright if I..." Roy began to zone out from Yui's speech, as it seemed she would be talking for a while. He started thinking back to his first official meeting with the girls.

'Ritsu-chan definitely seems like an energetic person... perhaps overly energetic. I suppose that's a good thing for a drummer, though. Mio-chan seems like a rather shy girl. Bass guitar is perfect for her then because it stays out of the center of attention that vocalist or lead guitar gets, but still requires skill. Mugi-chan probably comes from a wealthy or accomplished family since she carries herself very maturely and plays the keyboard well, so there's a possibly that she used to play the piano, which I know is common among wealthy children.'

Roy's thoughts were interrupted at the same time as Yui's speech when Ritsu had heard enough and decided to get the performance going. Yui smiled apologetically before saying, "And now, let's begin!" Yui's fingers took to the frets of her guitar as she began playing the opening riff to the next song.

Roy and Mio both watched Yui as she kept playing. "That seems like a fairly complicated riff," Roy muttered to himself. His expression turned to worry when he noticed the absent look on Yui's face. "Not good," he said. "I recognize that look. She forgot the lyrics!"

Therefore, Roy was surprised when he heard singing. It obviously wasn't Yui, so he looked across the stage to see who it was. "Ah!" he said quickly. Mio had quickly stepped in to fill the vocals. Roy smiled. Both of the girls were very good at singing. Yui joined in soon after as the girls began singing a duet. Roy sighed heavily. 'That was close, Yui-chan...'

Roy applauded and cheered along with the rest of the crowd, smiling brightly up at the stage. He knew the girls probably couldn't see him from their positions, but it didn't matter. They would be seeing a lot of each other once he joined the Light Music club.

A/N: Well, there's the first chapter for you. And hope you've enjoyed so far. There's certainly much more to come. Big thanks to Bloodstained Comma-chan for her great help is beta-reading and editing this chapter. It would have sucked without her (well maybe not, but it wouldn't have been as good!)

Oh! Translations! For those of you who know very little Japanese, I will do my best to translate the meager amount of Japanese I know.

Konnichiwa minna - Hello Everyone

Yuri - (ehh, you probably know this one anyway)

Sawa-baka-sensei - my name for Sawako-sensei used by myself and Bloodstained Comma-chan (baka means stupid or moron)

Sakura High School - the name of the high school where Yui and the others attend (it's shown in chapter 15 I believe)

Sensei - (I should hit you if you don't know this)

A/N August 30, 2009: Well, I went through and edited a little bit. Took some of the Japanese words. "Sensei" sounds cooler than "teacher" to me, so I kept it. I'll also be keeping the honorifics because it just seems weird without them. I'll probably avoid any other Japanese words, though. I'm debating on whether or not to use "Keionbu" for the club name, though.

A/N May 24, 2010: Fixed the formatting on my computer copy and reposted.
