Notes/Comment: Yes, if you've checked the characters featured in this story and noticed [Bruno, Tonio] in the "pairing" brackets...you are not imagining things. Yes, I know what I've done. No, I don't know what I'm doing. No, I don't know why I did it besides the fact that I jokingly liked Bruno/Tonio...that is, until I began to like it for real.

Now, as for the story in general: this will be a multi-chapter story featuring Tonio, Bruno, and Clara. If one wanted to know what sort of "timeline" the story occurs, it's in the year 2009. While having a chat with someone, she told me that Bruno and Clara were in development during the time Tonio was (or when he was to be released) and also made a suggestion about turning that into a plot for a Bruno/Tonio fan-fiction. That's basically the story. I'll try uploading it as much as I'm able to, so...I hope you don't mind.

Bonus: The song Tonio is singing is a selection which was used as a demo for his. Looking upon older forums for Tonio's release made me realize how many people fell for Tonio singing "Una furtiva lagrima". To be honest, I don't blame them. He sounded nice!

The year was 2009. During this time, the creation of Vocaloids was becoming more quicker than it did during the Vocaloid1 generation and it didn't seem Vocaloid2's generation was going to be complete any time soon. One of these newer members who was under development was a male English Vocaloid named Tonio, the sixth member of the Zero-G family.

While Tonio was in development, it has been said there were two other Vocaloids in the same scenario as he was. Their names were Bruno and Clara, who we know were released in the early Vocaloid3 generation due to possible complications. These two young adults were destined to become the first Spanish Vocaloids.

Now while these three waited until they were ready to be released to the world, they stayed together in an unknown location in Spain which was set up by the team who worked on their voices...I.E. the people "behind the scenes" who brought Vocaloids into the world.

This place, located within Madrid apparently, was in a rather expensive-looking hotel. On the twelfth floor resided the best-of-the-best suites, and of those suits was room 1204. This room was being used by Zero-G and another Vocaloid group for the time being. There was a large living room when you enter the suite, two bedrooms to the left, two more bedrooms to the far right, a kitchen and bar was located at the upper right, and the place was of course furnished.

For the most part, this room as silent and without anybody living in it; that is, until this day.

...

The sound of the door unlocking by the sliding of the room's card was heard, followed by the door opening and closing gently. The padded shoes trailed across the entry way and into one of the rooms on the left. The young man, possibly in his mid-twenties, placed his suitcase at the foot of the bed and removed his tuxedo jacket. Off went the bow tie he sported, letting it drop onto the mattress. His bare fingers unbuttoned the first three buttons of his dress shirt as he went back into the living room.

At the moment, there sat a song in the back of his mind, one which stirred up a spotty sense of memory from years prior to now. Since he was alone, he decided to sing the song known as "Una furtiva lagrima".

"Una furtiva lagrima..."

Singing through the rest of the first few lines of the song, he swiped a hotel information book as he passed by the desk which sat near the balcony, continuing with his vocalizing and flipping through the book without a care. This song, it did something to him, but he couldn't figure out what it was and why. Flashes would appear through his vision during a time in which he was going through an emotional conflict between being happy and feeling like a failure in life. Oh, but the song itself...that's what should matter now! It was a passionate song and deserved his full attention.

His eyes caught the section of the drinks. A martini? Curious about that kind. After pressing the number for room service on the land line telephone, he gave his order, hung up, and then continued singing. Slowly, he approached the curtains and yanked the heavy material to let the sun's rays shine through on this beautiful afternoon in Spain. For anyone watching the man singing and doing this action, they would find this silly due to assumption the dark-haired man did that for effect.

Close, he was so close to those final notes...

"Si può morir...! Si può morir d'amor..."

That was when the main door was unlocked and opened all of the way. The man spun around with surprise and saw two people staring at him. One man and a woman who seemed to be the same age as him or even younger. The woman had dark brown hair and bright brown eyes while the man beside her had curly brown hair and a pair of light blue eyes. The woman smiled at him with amusement.

"Wow guy, that was really good!" she said, her Spanish accent rather strong to the ears of the opera singer across from her.

The man who had been singing in Italian blinked with furrowed eyebrows at the two of them. The blue-eyed man stared back at him, smiling like his partner was.

"I'm guessing you're Tonio," he said to, whom we now know is, Tonio. "Those guys were right about you sounding so great at opera."

Tonio stayed quiet, however, and felt his ears burn at the compliments being given to him.

The woman spoke up again as she slowly took a few steps towards him, "Anyway, it's nice to meet you! My name's Clara..." she gestured to the man at the door with a hand reached out, "and his name is Bruno."

At his name being mentioned to Tonio, Bruno's smile widened which caused Tonio to blush suddenly. This was the first time anyone smiled at him, and this man was making it "worse" with how innocent yet charming it looked.

Tonio cleared his throat. His fingers went to his top and buttoned up an inch underneath his collar as he finally said, "It's nice meeting the two of you, also. And yes," he added, "I'm Tonio."

And this was how Tonio met his suitemates and fellow Vocaloids: Bruno and Clara.
