Before we begin I'll write down some personal headcanons that might explain the stroy better
- There aren't language barriers between Vocaloids (English Vocaloids can communicate with Spanish Vocaloids etc.)
- The Vocaloids live in separate houses sorted by company (Internet Co. Vocaloids live together, AHS Vocaloids live together etc.) except for the English Vocaloids that live together
- The Vocaloids don't have a single master instead they refer to the Producers and their company representatives as "Master"
Alright that should be enough for now, so let's begin
Chapter 1- House of the English Vocaloids Third Bedroom
Leon awoke in the house of the English Vocaloids to…silence.
Now, silence was extremely rare in the house, understandable since the inhabitants consisted of a bunch of Vocaloids who were quite literally made to make sound (specifically music). If the halls of the house weren't being filled with the noises of voices singing and instruments playing, then it was filled with the noise of people talking, arguing or breaking things.
So as you would imagine, Leon was quite surprised. "What happened to everyone?" he wondered out loud, then it hit him, Prima and Tonio wanted to show Oliver around Italy so they weren't here and he seemed to remember Big Al saying he was going and staying with some human friends for a week. Still, even then, there still should be some noise from the remaining inhabitants….
Sighing Leon got out of bed and make his way pass the crammed hallway, and down the stairs to the kitchen without meeting a single (semi) living being
"That's definitely new" he muttered. After all their house wasn't really large and he would usually bump into two or three others on his way down.
"What is?" a quiet voice asked.
Leon turned around to meet a small silver haired woman, "Oh, hey Miriam you're the first person I've seen all day, where's everyone else? I know Tonio, Prima and Oliver are in Italy "
"Let's see, Al went to visit some friends and won't be back until next week, and Sonika and Sweet Ann are going on some sort of 4 day shopping trip."
"Oh, well that explains that" Leon said, "I guess it's just you and me today."
"Forgetting someone?" A short-haired woman walked up behind Leon
"Oh, right, Lola, heh, of course. I could never forget you, sis" Leon quickly stammered out
"Right." Lola replied sarcastically "Anyways I came to tell Miriam that breakfast is ready, since you're here too, I guess you can have some" with that she turned and walked to the table in which a simple breakfast of eggs and toast was placed. Miriam turned and followed her.
"I guess you can have some?" Leon muttered but walked to the table and helped himself. Lola might be a tad irritating but she was a good cook. Not a lot of patience though, he thought sourly at his lack of food variety.
As they were eating breakfast, Miriam asked them that since they're the only ones at home for the next couple of days, would they mind doing something together?
"Why?" asked Leon incredulously. He got along fine with Lola and Miriam but there was so much better things to do then stay with them for who-knows-how-long.
"Simple, idiot" Lola said with a glare at Leon's direction "We haven't really got together like this since Vocaloid 2 was released, and now's the perfect opportunity to do so. So I defiantly agree" she said to Miriam who beamed slightly
Leon realized with a start that she was right. How long ago was it since they had even sat in the same room together alone. Since the release of Vocaloid 2, they had mostly ignored each other in favour of other companions. Come to think of it, even when it was only the Vocaloid 1s, Lola and Miriam had preferred Meiko's company to his, thus forcing him with Kaito. Meiko and Kaito…. Actually he hadn't really heard from them since they went to live with the other Crypton Vocaloids. His mind quickly wandering to past times, Leon had to admit the five of them did have some cathcing up to do.
"Alright" he agreed "But since it's a Vocaloid 1 thing, why not ask Kaito and Meiko if they want to come over as well?"
"A Vocaloid 1 reunion" Miriam said thoughtfully, "I don't know... I heard those two were quite busy."
"Don't know until you've tried" Lola answered "I'll send a message to them and ask." She put her plate in the dishwasher and left for a less crammed room
Curious, Leon went and followed Lola. Vocaloids can send messages to Vocaloids telepathically but are pretty limited. Only Vocaloids of the same generation can properly communicate. A higher generation Vocaloid can send a message to a lower generation but the lower generation cannot reply. Leon himself barely ever used his skills with sending messages, why bother? As a Vocaloid 1 he could only send messages to 4 others and had pretty much forgotten how it was done.
When he caught up with Lola in the Instrument Room. He was disappointed to see that Lola had already sent her message. Lola turned around and noticed him standing by the doorway.
"Oh. Hi." She said, a bit of dissatisfaction creeping into her voice. `"What are you doing here?"
"Oh, you know, to refresh on how to send messages." he replied and tried to look as nonchalant as possible. "So what did they say?"
Lola grunted. "I just messaged Meiko; she says she'll think about it, why don't you ask Kaito, since you want to practice and all?"
"Oh well, alright." Leon answered nervously, he hadn't really talked to Kaito in years. What would he think about a sudden random invite? It was too late to worry about that. Leon tried to remember how exactly he did the process. He closed his eyes and concentrated and the impulse came naturally to him. He appeared to be standing in a light-coloured tunnel that continued to swirl around him. A flash of blue and white appeared and flickered at the side of his vision; he turned to it and slowly the blue light widened. He spoke
"Hi Kaito"
"AHhhh" shrieked Kaito's voice coming from the light
"Uh," Leon thought/said not really knowing how to respond. This wasn't really the reply he had expected "It's um, Leon"
"Oh,"Said Kaito calming down. "Hi Leon!"
"So, uh, Kaito, just wondering, because all the other English Vocaloids are out for a couple of days and we – that's uh, me, Lola and Miriam- were wondering if you and Meiko wanted to come and like, get together with us like a Vocaloid 1 reunion or something." Leon stammered out a bit too quickly.
There was a pause as if Kaito was thinking about what he'd just said. Leon waited,he's probably gonna say no he thought.
"It's sounds like fun!" Kaito replied enthusiastically "But I need to talk to Meiko and find some time and…gotta go! Bye!" and with that the light flickered out and Leon opened his eyes, surprised at the sudden end of the conversation
"So?" asked Lola
"I think he said he'll talk with Meiko about it" Leon said "It was kinda hard to tell"
"Alright then… I guess we wait and see then." Lola muttered
