♫ Third chord ♫ Oh no, we're never gonna stop, never gonna stop ♫

[If you happen to be within a street or two of 773 Bunker, you're likely to hear the reverb of an amplified electric guitar echoing between the rooftops of houses. Yui is currently sitting on the front steps of her house, playing this first song and singing along in her wonderfully high-pitched voice. Feel free to admire her playing, slap her for

[Totally just sitting on the sidewalk, watching. And eating a bag of Twizzlers. Of course.]

[giita]

[Stops mid-performance and runs over, guitar in tow.]

Licorice?

[numanstan]

Yeah! Y'want one? [holds the bag out to her]

[giita]

[Sweets, frick yes. She takes one from the bag and begins munching on it.]

Thanks! These are really good! I haven't been able to find too many yummy sweets here, but the cakes in the bakery are delicious!

[numanstan]

Yeah, they haven't got everythin' from home here-- mustn't've been invented yet or somethin'-- and the chocolate's not even worth eatin', but everythin' else's good! [He points at her guitar with a Twizzler.] You're really good! Been playin' long?

[giita]

We should invent them, then!

You really think so?! I've been playing for.... [She pauses to calculate in her head.] About two and a half years?

Ah, this is Giita! [She motions to her guitar.]

[numanstan]

Genius! I should've thought of that ages ago! [He pauses.] I'm no good at cookin', though.

Yeah, you're brilliant! Y'in a band or somethin'? [He nods in greeting.] Hullo, Giita!

[giita]

I'm not either. Maybe we could write the ideas down and give them to a.... what's it called.... a patiser or something!

I'm in a the light music club at school with four of my best friends! We're called "After School Tea Time"!

You know, I'll let you touch Giita if you're really careful! He's in tip-top condition because Azu-nyan cleaned him for me a few weeks ago.

[numanstan]

Great idea! You'd need to write it, though, 'cause I'm awful at writin'. Can't spell, y'know?

I'm in a band with my best friend, too! Not sure if we've got a name, though... Think somebody called us The Mighty Boosh once, but that whole thing was... weird.

No thanks, I'd probably end up smudgin' him or somethin'. I don't play instruments, anyway-- that's Howard's job!

[giita]

I'm not very good at spelling though. Or math. Or English. Or history. Maybe we can get someone to do it for us!

Really?! So if you don't do instruments.... you must do vocals! [GENIUS.] But how does your friend play more than one instrument at once?

[numanstan]

Yeah, somebody's who's smart!... Do y'know any smart people?

We're mainly an electro band, so he usually doesn't need more than a keyboard. If we need anythin' else, he usually just tapes it to his forehead. [pause] I'm not... sure why...

[giita]

Maka-chan's really smart! She likes books and reads a lot!

I think Giita's too heavy to be taped to my forehead.

[numanstan]

Oh, yeah, the one with the eggs on toast! Y'should ask her, then!

Y'shouldn't copy him anyway-- you'd probably catch bein' uncool.

[giita]

Eggs on toast? [A pause.] Jelly is better!

Eh? So I'm cool?!

[numanstan]

Yeah, strawberry jam! With chocolate sauce!

With playin' like that? Y'seem cool to me!
