Groaning again, she got up and went to the bathroom to freshen up. After getting out of the bathroom, she got dressed, slipping her mask into her bag and left with it, going to the kitchen, getting some food.
“Young lady, I don’t understand why you were up all night?” her father scolded.
“Dear, please, she probably just had homework,” said his wife.
“C’mon, dad... I was just making a mask for our band, that’s all.” She then went out the door and left her parents alone in the kitchen. At school, she had put her shoes in the cubbyhole, putting her school ones on and then went on her way, meeting Tomo.
“Hey, Sakaki. Sleep well?”
“Not a wink, I was up all night making my mask.”
“Same here and my guess is that the others are tired, too.”
Both went up the stairs, going to their classroom, seeing the others all around Yomi’s desk, talking. “Hey, guys,” greeted Sakaki.
“Hey,” Yomi said. “Man, I couldn’t get any sleep at all!”
“Same here,” Osaka said.
“Me, too,” said Chihiro.
At that moment, Yukari came in, saying something about a love letter that she had found in her letterbox this morning. “Oh, who’s it from?” asked Chiyo.
“Don’t know,” Yukari said, pulling it out and reading it aloud. The band members gave a thumbs-up to Yomi, who returned it to them, smiling. Their teacher read the note out loud and the class held back their laughter; while Yukari was reading, Sakaki passed a note to the other band members, it saying to meet on the roof during lunch hour. Just as Yukari finished reading the note, she said to the class, “I’m going out for a bit!” and bolted out the door.
Chihiro sighed, “Well, that’s our Yukari.”
“Amen to that,” said Osaka.
“All in favor of sleeping drop your head to your desk,” said Tomo. When that was said, Kagura, Osaka, Tomo, Yomi, Sakaki, Chihiro, and Chiyo-chan all dropped their heads on their desks and went to sleep. When lunch came, the girls got their food and went to the roof to chat about what Sakaki wanted to talk about.
“So what’s up, Sakaki?” asked Yomi.
“Well, I was thinking... how much practice do you guys have with your instruments?”
“More than enough,” said Chiyo.
“Yeah...” Kagura said, “Are you worried or something?”
“No, no... It’s just... why don’t we perform at clubs and stuff?”
“Not a bad idea, but where?” asked Chihiro.
“Oh, how ‘bout that new club called the Red Dragon?” asked Osaka.
“I heard of that place,” Yomi said, “It’s a great place for us to perform and they have a big stage for us the put the stuff on.”
“So when you wanna be there?” Kagura asked Sakaki.
“About nine on Friday after school, so that way we can get some food, load up the stuff and are at the club on time.”
“Oh, and Yomi,” Tomo said, “Because we’re going to wear masks, you might want to ask your parents to get you contacts lenses.”
“Tomo’s right, Yomi. We can’t have you performing with your glasses over your mask,” Kagura said. Yomi thought about this. For her, she knew Kagura was right and she didn’t want to have to wear her glasses during shows. “Okay, I’ll ask my parents tonight.”
They continued to talk about different things till the lunch hour was over and they continued on with the rest of the day. All seven of them walked home, meeting up with Miruchi and Yuka along the way, showing each other their masks they made. Going a little bit further, they each went their separate ways.
When Yomi got home, she saw her parents in the kitchen. Remembering with Tomo said, she asked her parents, “Mom, Dad... is it okay if I can get fitted for contacts?”
Both parents looked at their daughter. “Honey, why would you want contact lenses, isn’t your glasses enough?” asked her father.
“No, you see, my friends and I are putting together a band and since we’re going to wear masks, Tomo suggested I get contacts because they don’t want me wearing glasses with my mask on.”
“Well, the eye center is still open. So, we’ll go ahead and get you some contacts. Come on,” said her father.
They family all left the house, going to the eye doctor for a pair while the other girls were all lounging at their houses. For Sakaki, she was laying on her bed with a pencil and notebook, thinking about a few songs... for her, she could think of a few so she jotted down the lyrics and got about five or ten songs on it. “Looks good, I think I can make some more,” Sakaki said herself, putting up the pencil and notebook in her desk drawer.
A ring of the phone came through the house and Sakaki’s dad called to her, “Sakaki, Chihiro’s one the phone!”
She got off her bed and went to the living room, taking the phone. “Hey, Chihiro, what’s up?”
“Hey, Sakaki. Just callin’ to see what’s going on.”
“Nothing much, except I made a few songs about ten of them, I think. What about you?”
“I just made some cool sound effects using my sampler, and we can use them at the club tomorrow.”
“Nice, and how’s the keyboard for you?”
“Fuckin’ great! And I just got a call from Yomi, she got contacts like we wanted her to.”
“Alright... see you tomorrow at school. Oh, and after school, all nine of us are heading to the Red Dragon.”
“I know. I’ll ask Chiyo to call the others to let them know, later!”
“See ya.”
Sakaki hung the phone up and went back to her room. As she sat on her bed, she thought about the club. For the nine of them, surely they would be nervous. Everyone gets nervous when they’re facing a whole bunch of people and not just a single person.
After a few more questions, when the girls told them about their music lessons they all got, they wanted to use their talent out in world of music, their parents all agreed, happy about this. “Put just promise us you won’t be stage parents to us,” said Tomo.
“Yeah, we don’t need embarrassment,” said Kagura.
After that, the girls all left, going back home and tomorrow was a day of practice for them. Their big day was just right around the corner for Azuknot.

Sakaki groaned in her sleep, her bed a mess as she slept. She was up all night working on her mask and it wiped her out completely. For her, she wished it wasn’t a school day, but it was... and her mother came inside her room. “Sakaki, get up, you’re going to be late for school.”Groaning again, she got up and went to the bathroom to freshen up. After getting out of the bathroom, she got dressed, slipping her mask into her bag and left with it, going to the kitchen, getting some food.
“Young lady, I don’t understand why you were up all night?” her father scolded.

They asked their kids about this band that they were making and their kids said that they wanted fame.After a few more questions, when the girls told them about their music lessons they all got, they wanted to use their talent out in world of music, their parents all agreed, happy about this. “Put just promise us you won’t be stage parents to us,” said Tomo.
“Yeah, we don’t need embarrassment,” said Kagura.
