The day of christmas, the sun sparkling between large cumulus clouds and the warmth was apparent, even though it was winter in Japan. Yui, even though it was Christmas, still hadn't left her bed yet and was yelling for Ui to bring her yakisoba or takoyaki. In fact, feeble pleading was more like the actual sounds coming from her mouth, since she knew that Ui would more likely take pity on her like that.
'Ui... please... need food...' Yui croaked weakly, imitating a person down with fever.
Ui entered Yui's room, waggled her finger and shook her head. 'Nope... mum and dad are putting on a proper Christmas feast... besides, weren't you supposed to be meeting the others from HTT?'
Yui slapped a hand to her forehead - typically, she had forgotten something again, something which happened to be fairly important this time. She was supposed to meet Azu-nyan and the others from Afternoon Tea Time at Sakuragaoka, practice and then go for lunch, then practice more at Sakuragaoka after that, for their Christmas concert. Even though they had finished at their former high school, they were still allowed to use the Light Music club to practice, as long as Sawa-chan was there supervising them. They would be at college when the New Year began and all together!
'Shoot! I knew there was something... thanks, Ui!!!' Yui said to her sister, jumped off her bed and rummaged through her clothing to find something suitable. After she had finished changing, she ran out her door, sped past the kitchen and waved to Ui, then rushed through the front door. She ran the whole way to Sakuragaoka, taking the same route she had always taken when she was late to school. It took some time, but she finally made it there, though she was at least twenty minutes late. She would get whacked by Mio and by Azu-nyan for being late. She made her way to the back of the school grounds and let herself in through the smaller back gate, which was often left unlocked by simple mistake of the teachers and the school caretaker. She ran all the way to the complex, found the unlocked door, which Sawa-chan had undoubtedly unlocked for the others, then raced to the Light Music club as fast as she could.
She opened the door and the others were sitting there, drinking tea and eating cake.
'YUI! You're late...' Mio, Sawa-chan and Azu-nyan all glared at her. Yui made herself look smaller, smiled slyly and grinned at Ritsu. Ritsu stuffed a piece of cake into her mouth, looking innocent, even though she most certainly was not.
'Ritsu! You're to blame for this... I knew Yui would be late if you two hung out together last night, but you promised me that you'd make sure she wasn't... yet, here she is, late!' Mio growled, half-joking and half serious.
'Uh-oh, partner... she's onto us... RUN!' Yui turned around and made as if to run... Ritsu chuckled, obviously kidding.
'Stop joking around! You guys have the Christmas concert later on and you need to practice hard!' Sawa-chan snapped.
'Yeah... stop joking around. We need to practice, otherwise we'll be terrible' Azu-nyan said, still a bit miffed that she'd be alone at Sakuragaoka in the New Year.
'Okay, let's start... Yui, you miss out on cake and tea, since you were late.'
With that, Hokago Tea Time began to practice for their concert.
-skip ahead by an hour or two-
'Guys... I'm hungry...' Yui moaned.
Azusa glared at her. 'That's your own fault for being late... we still have to practice, you know.'
'So mean... Azu-nyan... what do you say, Ton-chan?' Yui turned around the glass tank and asked the soft-shelled turtle, Ton-chan. Ton-chan swam around and brushed past where Yui had brought her face right up to the side of the tank and plastered it to the glass.
'She can't answer you back...' Mio said, holding in a chuckle at Yui's typical behaviour.
'Mio-chan! I'm hungtry, too... we can go to my work and eat there... it is lunch time, you know...' Mugi-chan said, her tummy rumbling.
Ritsu and Yui turned, looked at each other and nodded very enthusiastically. Partners-in-crime, indeed.
'Very well... I'm slightly hungry as well... will you come, Sawako-sensei?'
Sawa-chan shook her head. 'I will work on your costumes... I have so many awesome ideas!!!' she said avidly.
Mio looked slightly horrified, every time Sawa-chan made costumes, she made them a bit more sexually appealing than Mio liked... in fact, she was incredibly shy and wearing sexy costumes just made being on stage even worse than it already was. 'I hope you make practical ones this time, sensei!'
Sawa-chan giggled. 'You'll find out when you ahve finished practice...'
Mio rolled her eyes, shuddered slightly then turned to the others. 'Shall we go then?'
-An hour later-
They returned from lunch, ready to practice hard for their concert. In fact, they spent hours doing it, until Sawa-chan appeared with a costume. For once, the costume looked elegant and flowed well, made from a lovely material that looked like satin. It was blue, Mio's Character Image colour.
'This is your one, Mio. Well, do you like it?'
Mio smiled, for once, she was blown away by Sawa-chan's costume. 'Yes' she said simply.
'And here are the others!' Sawa-chan disappeared and reappeared in record time, with four costumes for the others and each were the colour for their corresponding Character Image songs.
Not long after, they left for the venue where Sawa-chan was taking them.
-twenty minutes later-
Hokago Tea Time stood on stage, right before the curtains were set to open and show them to the ever-loving fans. When they did, the fans cheered uproariously and proclaimed their undying love for Hokago Tea Time.
They began with Cagayake Girls:

Next, they went into 'Happy?! Sorry!!' and rushed through a version of it with Mio singing, instead of Yui. The fans loved it. After that, they played Fuwa Fuwa Time, which was one they would often play at a concert. Finally, they had only enough time for two more songs, so they played Girls In Wonderland, with Yui singing it this time, then, finally played 'No, Thank You, with Yui also singing that.

And, with that, they were finished the concert. The fans roared in delight, pleased especially that Yui had sung Mio songs and Mio had sung Yui songs, but, most of all, they were pleased because it was a great concert.
'To all our fans...' Yui said. 'Thank you for watching us, cheering us on and being great fans! Merry Christmas to you all!!!"
