"Len!" Kaito opened the door to Len's diva room and rushed in. "There's a problem!"

"Did we run out of orange juice?" Len asked from his bed where he was tossing a ball into the air, perfectly, and the same height every time.

"I don't even like orange juice. Why would I care? Anyway, I've caught something and my voice can't sing properly. I need you to sing in my stead!"

Without taking his eyes of the ball Len said, "Just get Mieko to cover for you."

"Mieko won't do!" Kaito then explained, "I have to sing Cantarella and it would be weird to have a girl do the part. You're the only person I can ask."

"What about the purple haired guy?"

"Gakupo? He's not part of the project diva vocaloids. I guess I could ask him… Wait. That won't work. He told me that he had a photo shoot today…"

"You actually talk to that person? And he's popular enough to have his own photo shoot?" Len asked, finally putting away the ball and getting up from his bed.

"I know people." Kaito told him. "It's just that I don't know anyone who can cover for me. I need you. How long have we been friends?"

"No. I won't do it. Find someone else. I'm sure there are plenty of other vocaloids."

"But why can't you do it?"

"I… have a calligraphy class?"

"Len. I can tell when you're lying to me."

"Ok. I just need a break!"

"You barely do anything. If anyone it should be Miku who needs a break!"

"I don't care! Now get out of my room!"

Len walked up to Kaito, grabbed his shoulders, turned him around, and gently guided him towards the door.

"Fine." Kaito brushed Len off and walked out on his own. "Guess someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning."

Kaito walked down the hall towards his room as he wondered what he could do.

"Why are you looking so down?"

Kaito stopped and turned around to see Gumi. He smiled and explained, "I can't find anyone to cover for me in the upcoming concert."

"Oh… Then why are you smiling?"

"Because that's what idols do! Get used to it."

"You're grumpy."

"Sorry. I know."

"Why are you still smiling?"

"Never mind. I'll be in my diva room trying to figure out what to do."

"Why not just ask Gakupo to do it?"

"He has a photo shoot."

"He's that popular? How come I haven't gotten a photo shoot yet!"

"I don't know."

"Ok. How about Lohioloid? He's pretty cool."

"Lohioloid?"

"Yeah. He's actually visiting the studio now so if you hurry over to the kitchen you should probably be able to catch him."

"Ok!" Kaito's face lit up with hope. "I'll do that!"

"Now that's a real smile!" Gumi said happily as Kaito rushed away.

She looked up and saw Kaito stop suddenly and turn around. He was heading back. Was he coming to thank her?

Kaito rushed by, exclaiming, "Oops, kitchen's that way."

When he got to the end of the hall he remembered to turn and shout, "Oh, and thanks!"
