Prologue
Rin's POV
Year: 2114
"Are you ready?" my pink haired headmaster asked me.
"Yes." I answered, impatiently waiting for when I could go and begin my assignment.
"Now I want to warn you about what may happen if something goes wrong. When going through space-time, be careful that nothing bumps you off course, viruses in your computer system could potentially cause you to be sent to the wrong time period. If that happens, click the distress button and our expert time travelers will come and rescue you. If you hit the button and are not in peril then you will be kicked out of the academy and will not receive your license. Do you understand?"
I nodded, wanting her to hurry up so I could go. The stress was killing me.
"There are five things to remember when time traveling. Recite them."
"Step One, Never tell anyone you are from the future." Obviously, that's a crime here in the city of Crypton. If anyone from the past finds out, you are immediately transported home, the poor person's memory is erased, and you get stripped of your license. " Step Two, Don't talk to people unless necessary. Step Three, Never time travel in public. Step Four, Never lose sight of your computer. Because if you do, you cannot get home and are stuck in that time period until you die."
"And the last one?" Headmistress asked.
I gulped nervously, "Never fall in love." Everyone knew that is you were to fall in love with someone from the past, you wouldn't be stripped of your license but you could never go back to the future. Even if you tried, your computer is made based off of the user's personality; thus the emotion love would block the function to travel back into the future. If you wanted to you would be able to go into the past further than where you previously are, but you wouldn't be able to return. If the time travel officials find out, then you will be imprisoned and have to face the ultimate sentence. Being sent to a place where no space-time exists.
"Very good, you pass the speaking part of the test. Now we've modified your computer so it will work in your time period. The settings have been modified accordingly. Now here is the envelope with your assignment. Once you've gotten to your space pod where you and the rest of your classmate's will be dispersed, you may look at it. Once in the space-time warp you will need to direct your powers to travel to the proper period. If something may happen, such as you get stuck in the wrong time period, stay there and complete your assignment. Your computer will not work unless you adjust it manually so take your time and learn as much information as you can. Once your computer is adjusted you can return home and not complete the assignment, stay in that time period and continue working, or you may travel to your designated area and start there. Also, remember that if you fail your assignment you will be sent to the ultimate past, no exceptions." Headmistress said.
"Yes Headmistress. I will not let you down." I bowed and left her office. I couldn't help wondering what my assignment was. "I hope it's something exciting." I though aloud to myself.
I am Rin Kagami. A Year 10 at Roshiin Yuukai Academy. The academy is a place where you can train to become a full fledged time traveler. That has been my dream since I was a little girl. I would sit for hours day dreaming about where I would go in the world. My favorite color is yellow, I love oranges, and I always wear a white bow on my head. Yes I know it makes me look like a bunny but bunnies are adorable. My mother gave it to me before she died when I was six. She and my father were two of the best time travelers of their generation so to make them proud I'm going to become one too. I also like to sing, I sound terrible though, and I have a strange fascination with something from the early 2000's. A road roller I think it was called. Yep. They are just so cool. But enough about me I have to get to the space pod.
While walking through the academy I took the time to take in my surroundings which had become so familiar over the years. Soon I would be leaving them and not returning for who knows long.
I walked over to the history wing of the academy. On display was a long informational reading about our academy's history.
Roshiin Yuukai Academy has been the number one academy for time travelers for 50 years running. It was founded by Tei Sukone after she decided to jump into a giant, abandoned nuclear reactor in 2064. Instead of dieing, she was blessed to time travel by simply thinking about where to travel to. She realized her passion for this and soon decided to teach others how to time travel as well. So she turned the reactor in our beautiful academy for this purpose. She set up the academy's academic ideals and became the first Headmistress. Since then, our students have developed tools for enhancing space-time waves allowing them to travel through time easier and more efficiently. For example, our handheld mini computers. When Headmistress Sukone died, she passed on a new generation. She brought the future to what it is today. The academy stands as a symbol of hope, dreams, endurance, and hard workmanship. The academy has prospered ever since.
What I wondered was why jump into a reactor anyway. I mean, what's the point? There is a 50% chance you will die, 25% you will live, and a 25% chance you will live with new, strange powers. So why bother? We have everything we need already… but wait Rin, this was 2064 we are talking about…. things were very different then. Right….
"Final call for Year 10 time travelers. I repeat, final call for Year 10 time travelers." the Headmistress said into the academy's sound system.
"Crap! I gotta run! Why was I wasting my time here, if I'm late I won't become a full fledged traveler. Ohnononononooooooo~!" I quickly sprinted towards the space pod. I ran in and felt everyone's eyes burning on me. I felt self conscious. Then I noticed a certain someone in the middle of my classmates.
Miku Hatsune….. my worst enemy. When we were young girls we used to be friends. Weird how time changes. But back to the point. We've been rivals ever since we started school here back as Year Ones. Ten years ago….. when we were four. We met then and became friends but soon after about three months realized that we were the two best students in the class and our ego's got the better of us. Since then we've been competing over grades, social like things, and looks.
Miku was about 158 cm tall, or 5.2 feet, 42 kg/ 93 lbs, is a B-cup, and had long, teal twin tails that every girl was envious of. She also had one of the best singing voices in the academy. I on the other hand, I am 152 cm/ 5 ft (basically a shortie), 43 kg/ 94.79 lbs (I need to go on a diet and stop living off of oranges), I'm an A-cup (forever and always), and short, choppy blond hair that I always top off with my signature white, bunny-ear looking bow. I liked to sing as well, but in my opinion, Miku is way better than me. But don't tell her I said that. But didn't I already tell you about myself? Well, second times a charm, or however that saying goes.
"So Rin….. what's your assignment? Mine is traveling to the year 2013 and becoming a famous popstar. Obviously they recognized my talents and thought that the assignment was perfect! So what's yours? Probably going back to cavemen times and learning how to act like a smelly gorilla. Oh wait, you don't have to because you've perfected that already. Hahahahahaha~!" Miku bragged in my face. She then laughed like an idiot. I ignored her but everyone could tell I was irritated.
But my assignment! I totally forgot to look at it. And I'm allowed to now yay!
I took my envelope and opened eager to read it's contents. The envelope was a very formal looking one. I mean come on, it was sealed with the academy logo seal. Now that's official. Anyway that's not the point. I took out the letter and began to read it. It said and I quote:
Dear Rin Kagami,
Congratulations on becoming a Year 10 student here at the academy. You are now at the academy's highest level of education. Like every Year 10 at the academy, to become a full time traveler, you need to travel back in time and complete you designated assignment. You will find you assignment enclosed below.
Best Of Luck,
Luka Megurine; Headmistress
The was another sheet of paper in the envelope. With shaking hands I unfolded and opened it. It said;
Rin Kagami, you will be traveling to the year 2039. Your assignment is to become a famous singer. After hearing your voice and judging your abilities, we though that this was an appropriate assignment. Your computer is already set up. Please do your best.
"No way, your a singer too? Whatever, we are in different time periods so no doubt you will not be out staged by my amazing talents. I bet people in your era will still be talking about the great Miku Hatsune!" Miku boasted, obviously trying to get on my bad side.
"Urg whatever Miku, now can you move? I'm trying to get to my seat so I'll be ready for when we are dismissed." I huffed.
"Why don't you just go sit with your friends… oh wait! That's right you don't have any!" Miku laughed in my face.
"Why you lit-!"
"Everyone, please take your seats. The pod is about to be released. Once in the space-time warp please use your computer to safely guide you to your designated era. Good luck to you all!" The Headmistress said.
Suddenly everything went black. I could still feel my classmate's around me. This was normal in time travel, but of course we've only gone at the most a few years back into the past for training purposes, so this was entirely different. The blackness soon turned into a variety of colors, misty fog was dancing at my feet.
I was here. I took out my computer ready to go but then a teal blob bumped into me.
"Hey Hatsune!" I snapped. "Stay away from me when I time travel. I don't need you sending me back 50 million years." I started to type in all the needed information but Miku shoved me.
"That's exactly what I'm trying to do." She stated.
I give up. I'll wait until she is gone to go. Or… hmm.…. what if I somehow use my computer to hack into hers and make her travel back 50 million years ago. Sweet, sweet revenge….. mwhahahahahahahahahahahaha…. I mean… uh…oh look a bunny. Teeheeheehee….yeah?…no…..
Miku started to type in her information. I on the other hand quickly did my password and used my awesome orange powers to easily hack into her system. Wait…. oranges… MY ORANGES! What if they don't have them in the past. What is 2039 in an orangeless place! I'd die and come straight home right away. I don't want to become a time traveler if means giving up my precious oranges! No! Snap out of it Rin! Your on a mission!
I had to type in the year she was going to in order for it to work. So I typed 2013 on the screen and just as I did that, some idiot kid, I don't know who and I don't care who, bumped into me from the back and I fell. As I was falling I noticed that Miku was already gone. Well Schist. My plan backfired. When I get up I'm going to send that kid to the moon by way of my foot!
Suddenly, everything went white. Tiny, golden sparkles flew around me and I just realized I was flying into this tunnel thing. Oh crap… I didn't just do what I think I did right? I looked down a my computer screen.
2013 commencing. Travel status: Impossible to return once entered tunnel.
I must've hit the travel to/enter button when I fell. Dang nabbit! GRRRRRRRRR. I looked around. Well dang I'm that foretold tunnel. Lights swirled around me and firework like things were going off. It was actually very hard to describe because it was so beautiful.
I must've been floating around for like a year! Ok maybe it was only two to three days but you get bored quickly when all you have to do is adjust your bow, clips, and play Cyber Temple Run on your computer. I think it took me longer to get there because my computer was still adjusting to changes. 'SIGH'. Soon enough this big, bright, circle-shaped light appeared at the end of the tunnel. And no, I didn't just die and are on my way to heaven. I don't think I fell THAT hard. The light came closer and closer until I was right up against it. That's when I stopped hurling through the space-time warp. I almost crashed and went through who knows what to who knows where.
The light felt warm and I felt this weird sensation. Like I was supposed to be here. I could tell something big was about to happen. I took a deep breath, clenched my fists, and walked into the light. When I did I heard my computer say, "Current location: Tokyo, Japan. Year: 2013."
I felt myself falling and I noticed there were what are called "Sakura Trees" all around me. 'Oh yeah' I though to myself. 'There are a ton of these here' I then noticed a boy about my ag- wait screw that, he's probably like 70 years older than me in my era. But anyhow I was about to crash onto him. He suddenly looked up with a face of wonder, amazement, and shock. Then I landed on him and we fell to the ground.
And that was the day, that my life changed. For better, for worse, no one can tell. But it was that meeting that turned my life upside down.
Len's POV
Year: 2013
"Lennnnnnnnnn~! If you don't wake up you are going to be late for school!" My mother called to me. Meanwhile my banana alarm clock was going off. What was that? Why do I have a banana alarm clock? Why don't YOU have one? I mean, banana's are the best friggin' fruit in the world. Oranges a close second if I had to pick.
Oh I'm Len Ne. At your service. I'm gonna tell you some stuff about myself and your gonna listen cus' I'm awesome. So yeah. Ok I'm a 14 year old freshman at Yamaha High School. Yes the same Yamaha as in the manager of the ever so popular Vocaloids. Today is the first day, yayyyyyy. I'm actually pretty short for my age I guess, only 156 cm/5'1.4" ft. tall, and I weigh 47 kg/103lbs. Probably from all those bananas. Did I mention I like bananas? So anyway I'm blond and my hair goes to above my shoulders, but I wear in a ponytail otherwise I'd look like a girl. I mean, I kinda have a girly face but I'M NOT, AND I REPEAT NOT, A GIRL! PEOPLE EVEN CALL ME SHOTA! I'M NOT A SHOTA! I AM A MAN!
Umm… let's see…. oh I love bananas, my favorite color is yellow, I think road rollers are awesome, and I love bananas. Oh yeah! I love bananas! I'm just your average kid who has a banana obsession. But other than that I'm completely normal. Except for the fact that I'm a guy and I love to sing but I can sing freakishly high. I'm a guy but I can some notes that even girls can't. So I don't sing unless I'm home alone. Which is often because my mom and dad work a lot and are always away on business.
Back to singing. My dream is to become a Vocaloid. I know what your thinking, "Lenn~ with your good looks, amazing personality, and body you can be anything. Why a singer?" Well I'll tell you. When I was little I was home alone because my parents were on a trip. So I went down to the park to play for a bit. I sat down on a bench and started singing without realizing it. I hardly sang back then because all the boys made fun of me. This little girl came over and told me that I had a great voice. She smiled and I could tell I probably blushed. Then she just disappeared. I was surprised but hey this is Japan. ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN. She was my first love and now I sing because of her. Just not often in public.
Just then it hit me. "HOLYCRAPI'MGONNABELATEFORSCHOOLIDIDN'TREALIZETHETIMEBECAUSEIWASTA LKINGTORANDOMPEOPLEWHOARESTA LKINGMEJUSTCUS'ANDNOWI'MGONNABELATEEEEEE~!" I shrieked. (A/N: holy crap I'm gonna be late for school I didn't realize the time because I was talking to random people who are stalking me just cus' and now I'm gonna be lateeeeee!) I quickly put on my uniform and went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and stuff. Then I ran downstairs and grabbed a banana and ran out the door.
"That kid always is causing trouble." Lily, my mom, said. "He is such a handful."
"I agree. And what's with that banana obsession? It's a fruit. You eat it. There. Done. No need to make a shrine to it your closet." my father Leon grumbled.
Not that I heard any of that though. I stood there for a while on my front porch with the sunshine on my face. I closed my eyes and listened to the surrounding nature. I could tell something important was going to happen today. I could feel it.
As I started walking towards school i noticed something on the wall I walk by. It was a giant poster advertising Vocaloid. I ran over to look at it after making sure there was no one in sight. The poster itself was white with a lot of writing. And to the right of it was none other than singing sensation Miku Hatsune. She only joined Vocaloid about a day or two ago and is already so famous! I envy her. But then again, she has a really nice voice so she kinda deserves to be in. Just saying.
Anyhoo, the poster said that coming up in two weeks Yamaha was going to be holding open auditions for new members. My eyes turned as big as plates when I read this. I was literally flailing my arms like an idiot in my happiness! Yamaha only held auditions every few years or so and they were really hard to get into! I immediately wrote down all the information, stuffed it into my pocket, and hurriedly continued to school. I decided to take the path that was surrounded by Sakura trees since it was quicker and I was already late.
Maybe, just maybe, that girl will be there. I mean I didn't tell you this but she said she loved to sing as well and wanted to become a singer so she could share her voice to the world and make everyone happy. I mean, how sweet is that? But I really hope to meet her again. Then maybe, I could tell her thank you and that I loved her.
Suddenly I heard this loud pop and in the sky there was this very bright flash. Something came out from the middle of it. It looked like.… a girl? She was wearing a black and white outfit, black one side, and white the other. Then they switched towards the bottom of the dress. On her chest was a yellow bow and on her feet were these black boots that ran up to the middle of her thighs with a yellow line going up the front of each. The look was completed with a huge white bow on her head that reminded me of …..bunny ears?
So as I was saying she was falling to the ground. I just kept staring at her, wondering how she got into the sky in the first place, what was that light, and I was afraid that she was going to land hard and hurt herself. The it hit me, she was directly above me. Falling. With me under her. I just realized this and she was about ten feet away from landing. Then suddenly, she fell onto me and we both landed on the ground. It hurt but I'm slightly relieved that she wasn't hurt that much. Slowly she lifted her head and looked at me straight in the face with her big, beautiful, ocean blue eyes. I felt a blush coming on.
And that was the day, that my life changed. For better, for worse, no one can tell. But it was that meeting that turned my life upside down.
Prologue Fin.
Hey guys! I'm LittleMissAwesum14! Please call me LittleMissAwesum-chan. :D Thank you for reading my fan fiction. It's my very first one! [VICTORY POSE!] I hope you all enjoyed as much as I did writing it. So anyhow I'm thinking about making this at least… 20 chapters or so? Maybe 30.. depending on feedback and my social life. Oh what Rin is wearing is her Meltdown costume. A very appropriate uniform for Roshiin Yuukai Academy huh? And the mini handheld computer's are based off of Nina's PC from Ultra Maniac. :D It looks kinda like an electronic dictionary. You type in the stuff and you can travel to different time periods based on your academic ability. When I was bored I made one out of a box once…. it was an epic fail /._.\' Does Tei seem like the kind to jump into a nuclear reactor? I though so. But seriously is it just me? And I hope you figured out that the headmistress was Luka before I said anything. She seem's like the headmistress type. the 2 '' things around words mean a though and "" mean talking. And I made up Cyber Temple Run. It's like normal T.R. but futuristic and spacey-ish. Schist is a type of rock. Instead of saying sh*t, my earth science teacher say Schist. Then we all laugh because we know what she really means :P To send someone to the moon by way of your foot is what my health teacher threatened to do to us last year if we got all cray-cray on her. One kid was threatened soooooo many times.
So how are all of you? I'm doing well. I hope you all had a nice new year. Yeah I know, I'm like three weeks late. IT'S THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTS!
So I just wanted to say that if you liked my story (prologue actually) please review and follow it! Or even just favorite it. It make me very happy. Of course I would mention you the next chapter and check out your stories as well. Just let me know the title and what it's about. Oh and if you review now I'll give you a reward. Anyone like pie? It's pie flavored ;)
Oh yeah before I forget! No I do not own Vocaloid. Now if you'll excuse me there is an emo corner of depression over there with my name on it.
Thank you so much! Please continue to support me and don't forget to review! :DDDDDDDDD
I lurve you my little love muffins!
LOVE- LittleMissAwesum14 :3
