K-ON!! brought us the childhood scenes which everyone was adorably cute at that time =X

Yui apparently had not submitted her "future career" form yet and Nodoka was shocked when she realised that. Yui however is clueless on what she should write down on the form and even almost wrote down "NEET". The other girls then came by and Yui attempted to write down the choices that the others had placed without much knowledge of what they really are. Mugi then revealed to Yui and Ritsu the entrance exam to a prestigious school which she's trying for and it turns out that the duo hasn't even seen a similar question, ever. Things did not turn out well when both Yui and Ritsu were called to the office. Meanwhile, Mio and Nodoka started to talk about the past where Nodoka had met Yui for the first time as Mio told her that she must have a hard time taking care of Yui. Mugi overhears their conversation and gets pretty excited and interested about their past and brings them to the music room to continue the conversation. Nodoka started with her past with Yui where they had first met and it was Yui's initiative to get to know Nodoka and it seems that ever since that day, Yui had been clumsy for a long time but was always forgiven due to her innocent smile. Nodoka also commented on the special connection they had as they were in the same class ever since kindergarten. Yui and Ritsu were then called in by Sawa-chan to talk about their forms as both of them had submitted "undecided" and Sawa-chan revealed that she had chosen to become a teacher as someone she liked said he wants to be a teacher too but sadly she was rejected. The duo then returned to the music room and while Nodoka started talking about Yui wanting to become a kindergarten teacher in the past while reading out her own essay of their own future, Ritsu was reminded of a similar essay reading incident with Mio. Mio didn't want it to be revealed and prompted Azusa to practise but Azusa was also curious about it. Mio had won a essay writing competition while she was still small but as she was pretty much shy in the past, she didn't want to read it out to the others as it was a must to do so. Incidentally, Ritsu notices that Mio had a loud voice and gave her some encouragement which turned out well in the end. Mio was however not really grateful about the other things that Ritsu had thought her (mostly were not really decent), but she was still grateful for her bringing music into her life as well. In the end, Ritsu and Yui wrote down "musician" but was rejected once again by Sawa-chan. The next day, Yui walks up into class, touching the small turtle sculpture on the stairs and starts to think hard again for her form but to no avail. When she exits the teacher's lounge, Nodoka was leaving the class at the same time and smiled when she sees Yui really trying hard to get it accepted and brushes her hand across the same turtle sculpture Yui had brushed past earlier that day.

i tink that it was deliberate for both Yui and Nodoka to have brushed past that small turtle sculpture, in proving that the both of them really had some special connection that brings them together. the girls while they were small are really adorable @.@ except Mugi's and Azusa's small selves were not shown but Mio and Ritsu were exceptionally cute and interesting while they were small and Mio really did improved her "shyness" as compared to the past and i believed that Ritsu, being the more open one, did have some positive impact on Mio. and i cant imagine how takoyakis without tako taste like... since Yui had forgotten to bring the takos for a lesson in grade school, showing how clumsy she was ._. i wonder how Ritsu and her manage to "survive" through high school. i felt that 1st Nodoka-reminder scene quite similar to the scene in season 1 where she was shocked at Yui not handing in her club form yet, somehow it just seems really identical...
