In a small town, it was a bright and sunny morning. People were moving up and down the street, trying to get to their destination. Some were rushing down the street to get to work or to school while others were casually walking down the pavement, minding their own business as if they have all the time in the world.

In a certain school, it was bursting with life as students walked into the school. Most of them quickly met up with their friends to hat and laugh with while some walked into the classroom and sat down on their respective seat to either catch up with some more sleep or to patiently wait for class to start.

A certain girl with bright blond hair sat by the window, watching the students enter the school curiously out the window as her two male friends chatted beside her. It was a little strange that most of her friends were guys. She wasn't girly or feminine as most girls are in her age, which is one of the reasons why she only has a few female friends and a lot of conflict over the matter, especially when it comes to girly things like fashion, in fact she would choose baggy pants and shorts over skirts and dresses any day.

Most people she was familiar with would often tell her to try and act more like a girl and such. It was mostly just to tease her and it irritated her to no end. Despite all that, she didn't mind any of it because there was only one person who actually understood her well and his opinion was the only thing she cared about.

The classroom door slid open, grabbing the girl's attention and she saw a familiar blond haired boy walked into the classroom. She smiled when she saw it was her best friend, Len Kagamine but then frowned when she noticed the somber expression on his face.

"Oh, its Len." A blue haired male, Kaito noted with a frown on his face. Beside him was another male with long violet hair that was tied into a ponytail. Gakupo frowned as well as he took note of Len's form. "I knew it. He's still depress." He pointed out.

Len slowly approached them as they greeted him, almost hesitantly. "Morning Len." Kaito greeted while Gakupo smiled warily. Len looked down at the ground before he muttered a greeting. "Morning..."

The girl poked her head out, causing the ribbon on her head to bounce as she greeted him as well. "Morning." Len didn't respond this time and just stared down at his shoes. The girl frowned even more when she noticed the dark, heavy rings around his eyes as well as the slight redness in them as if he had been crying.

If there was one thing Rin Kagami was proud of, its that she knew exactly what Len was feeling even without him saying a word.

For a whole month, Len's pet cat had disappeared all of a sudden and hasn't return since. Because of that, Len had grown terribly depressed. He had barely joined in any of their conversations and had isolated himself from everyone in his class, including most of his friends, especially her, completely for the entire month.

Rin could easily remember about a couple of days ago, she had decided to walk home together with Len as they lived close by to each other.

Rin had desperately tried to talk to him or make him laugh or something but he didn't say a word as if he was ignoring her, which upset her.

The two paused in front of Len's house where his mother stood by the house, sweeping. Len called out to his mother. "Mom, its not back yet?" He asked. It was the same question he would ask everyday when he returned to school. His mother paused and frowned. "No, dear." She replied before paused and hesitantly continued. "Len, listen...that cat has been really weak for a while now. Its possible that-"

"But there's a chance it might come back tomorrow..." Len interrupted. Rin glanced at him and noticed his eyes looked expressionless and empty. "It might come back..." He quietly repeated.

This brought a sharp pain to Rin's chest and she stared at Len with intense worry. But despite her concern to her best friend, Rin didn't talk about it with Len. Talking about would probably bring more harm than good so she chose not to mention it until Len says so.

It was already the end of the day. The sun was setting as students poured out of the school and going their separate ways.

Rin and Len walked out of the school and towards the school gate where Kaito and Gakupo waited. They waved at them as they finally noticed their presence.

"We're going to do some karaoke." Kaito announced as Gakupo nodded in confirmation. "You're not going to join us?"

Rin smiled apologetically. "No, I'll be leaving with Len." She said while Len said nothing and shook his head instead. Kaito let out a sigh. "I see...We'll see you tomorrow then."

Len nodded while Rin waved goodbye to them. "Yeah, see ya guys!" She exclaimed before she turned around and walked next to Len.

"-And so, just before you came, Kaito was opening this bag of candies from early morning." Rin explained. "But then because there was none left for you, he tried to hide them when he saw you and-"

Rin stopped when she realized Len wasn't even paying attention to her. She frowned deeply. She had hoped that telling Len a story would help cheer him up but...

Rin sighed before she forced out a smile. "I guess I should have gone with Kaito and Gakupo to karaoke." She laughed as she moved ahead of him and stretched. "I heard there was a good catch at the karaoke today." She said and she span around to face him. "I heard that there would be a free drink of your choosing this weeks to celebrate some kind of event. That sound like an awesome deal, right? And-"

Rin stopped once more and paused in mid-step when Len didn't say a word and walked pass her, completely ignoring her. It honestly hurt Rin, being his best friend since childhood. She knew how much that cat mean to him but still...

Rin looked down at the ground dejectedly as she slowly followed after him from behind. "Len..." She quietly began. "There'll be a quiz tomorrow..."

"I haven't prepared for it..."

Rin's eyes widened and her head shot up when she heard Len's voice. Rin brightened up instantly at the fact Len had finally responded to her. She was so happy that she grew tongue tied, trying to figure out what to say next. "Um, Uhh, Well." She finally began with a bright smile as she quickly moved to his side. "Yeah, the teacher is so mean! The quiz tomorrow was just too sudde-"

"Somehow..." Len cut in. "Everything just sucks..."

Rin froze entirely when she saw the expression on Len's face. It was that same empty expression from days ago. It was just...frightening.

"Len..." Rin began. "Let's take a quick detour."

She then suddenly forward towards the corner where they would always past and paused at the side where a grove of trees grew at the side of the path. "Its by the sidewalk just over there!" She exclaimed as she stopped and twirled around to Len then pointed to the side where there was pathway within the trees. "Here! Right here!"

Len followed after as Rin continued to exclaim. "There's a wonderful field with a nice view down here! S-So if we could-"

"Whatever." Len said indifferently as he walked past her. Rin froze in place. Her heart twisted painfully in her chest at Len's coldness towards her. Rin couldn't turn around and chase after him, instead she stared down at the ground, teary eyed while Len walked away without looking back.

Within the forest, Rin sat down at the edge of a cliff, staring at the view of the entire city. At the side was the sea that sparkled beautifully under the orange sky.

Rin smiled sadly at the view. She can't remember when or how she discovered this place but the view was just beautiful...if only she could show it to Len.

"I really wanted to show this to him..." She sighed. She then folded her legs and hugged them towards her chest. "Len..." She muttered to the wind. Rin understood that Len was terribly upset about losing his cat but...he didn't have to be so cold.

Rin wished she could help him somehow...she just wanted him to be the carefree happy-go-luck guy he was back then. She wanted to bring that Len back...

"What are you doing?" A voice behind her suddenly spoke up.

Rin yelped in shock, nearly falling off the edge. She span around to see a girl with long teal hair that was tied into two pigtails. She appeared to be a bit older than her and didn't seem to come from her school as she wore a different uniform from hers. Rin sharply inhaled when she realized the girl's face was uncomfortably close to hers which disturbed her.

She grinned widely as she greeted. "Hello there!"

Rin was stunned while her heart thumped on her chest at the fact she nearly fell off the edge of a cliff and she opened and closed her mouth like a fish out of water before she finally responded. "H-Hello.."

The girl giggled as she pulled back. "What are you doing here in a place like this?" She asked innocently. Rin blinked and stood up. "Well, um you see...I thought that the view was nice so..."

The girl nodded. "Oh, I see." She agreed. "The view here is really beautiful."

The girl then began to giggle oddly and Rin tilted her head in confusion. That was when it hit her and her expression turned into panic. "N-No! I'm not doing anything suspicious!" She exclaimed as she lifted her hands in a surrender position. "I'm planning to do anything crazy here like jumping if that's what you're thinking!"

The girl blinked before laughing once more. "I'm sure you're not." She said. "If anyone's suspicious, it should be me."

Rin began to fidget on her place. "No um...are you taking a walk, right?" She nervously asked. "Oh! Um I'm not trying to do anything. I-I was just curious and um..." Rin began to mumble unintelligible things. For some reason, she felt a little unease towards this girl. She just seemed a little...off somehow.

The girl stared at her for a moment before she grinned. "My name's Miku. Hatsune Miku by the way." She suddenly introduced herself.

Rin was baffled for a second and sweatdropped. Normally, people don't just give away their names that easily. Rin smiled warily. "Um, My name's Rin Kagami but you can just call me Rin." She replied back.

Miku then energetically jumped up and childishly threw her hands up into the air as she cheered. "Rin-chan!" She giggled. Rin sweatdropped once more at the childish reaction and she chuckled awkwardly while Miku grinned. This girl was rather...interesting in her own way.

"I'm often describe as weird." Miku said as if reading Rin's mind. "That's why I don't label others as weird so easily and...I don't want to."

Rin didn't say a word as she looked at the girl. She must have had a rough time, huh?

"Speaking of which..." Miku started. "This 'Len' person...Is he your friend?" She asked and Rin's face turned pink. S-She heard that? "Eh? Ah! Ahhh..." Rin sheepishly scratched the back of her head as she muttered. "Yeah..."

"Liar." Miku bluntly said and Rin flinched then gaped at her. "Wha-! Who are you calling a liar?" She exclaimed. That was when Miku suddenly leaned forward towards her, causing Rin to take a step back as Miku stared at her dead in the eyes. "Because I understand! You like Len, right?"

Rin's face flared from pink to bright red. "Your face's all beet red." Miku pointed out. "Ehh?! Ah! T-That's because its not like that! He's-! Its-! I-!" She exclaimed, completely flustered. Rin looked everywhere, except for Miku as she tried to come up with some excuse but...

Ring then looked down at her feet with an embarrassed expression and brought her hands to her face as she groaned. Just...what the heck.

Miku then giggled. "I can be your listener." She offered. "There's no one you can talk to, right?" Rin peeked at her over her hands and blushed. This was the first time...she would tell her secret to someone she just met.

In the end, she ended up spilling everything that happened, to the strange teal haired girl as they sat down at the edge. She explained everything to Miku and told her stories about their childhood together. Miku would quietly listen, nodding once and twice in understanding and reassuring Rin that she was listening.

It was nice...having someone listen to her troubles and worries. Troubles that she couldn't tell to anyone, even with Len. It was oddly refreshing.

"-And so, Len was the only one who didn't laugh when I fell into the edge of the river and he even came to help me out." Rin explained, telling Miku one of her childhood experiences with Len.

"Oh, That's really nice of him!" Miku remarked and Rin grinned. "Yeah, but the two of us ended up being all muddy and dirt. Len's mom yelled at us to go to the yard instead of the bathroom so we hosed ourselves with water there, even though we were already wet because of the river."

The two girls laughed together at the silliness of the story. Rin snickered before she let out a sigh and smiled slightly at the memory. "I...I want Len to return to his lively self again." She muttered. "If his cat returns, he'll probably pull himself together."

Miku fell silent as Rin stared at the city with a sad smile. "But...That's not something that I can help with..."

Miku stared at Rin before she slowly opened her mouth. "Rin-chan..." She began. "Stop misleading people with such fickle words and taking everything as a joke." Rin blinked at the sudden seriousness in Miku's tone as she continued. "Say what's on your mind even if you're scared." Miku looked at Rin, directly into her eyes. "That's the best way to get your message across."

Rin stared back into Miku's eyes to see the absolute seriousness in her eyes and at that moment...she believed her. Rin slowly nodded. "Alright. I'll try..." She said. That girl was strangely convincing but regardless, she'll do ask she says.

The next day, Kaito, Gakupo, and Rin opened the door to the classroom. The three blinked when they saw a certain blond haired male sitting in front of his desk and was resting his head over his folded arms, obviously asleep despite the noise within the classroom.

"That guy came here before us, huh?" Gakupo remarked and Kaito nodded. "Yet he fell asleep." He added. Rin simply stared at Len's form as she suddenly remembered the things Miku told her.

"Listen, Rin-chan." Miku began. "When you want someone to pay attention, concentrate all your energy in your diaphragm and speak from it.

Rin gripped her chest and puffed her chest out as she approached the unaware blond. She stopped right next to him and looked down at him as she greeted. "Len, good morning..."

Len didn't respond and Rin frowned. This was going to harder than she thought. Rin scratched the back of her head. Was this guy really asleep? She wondered about that. Sure, it was early in the morning but to fall asleep in class? Len has never done that before.

Rin frowned as she thought once more about what Miku had told her.

"Diaphragm?" Rin looked at her with a puzzled expression. "What's that suppose to mean?"

Miku groaned and rolled her eyes. "Its important!" She exclaimed. "No matter how much you like Len, if its just superficial words he's not going to listen!"

Rin frowned at the fact that she did have a point and Miku went on. "It's like the power of the universe, alright? So that's why you have to charge the power in your diaphragm. Just trust me, okay?"

It was awfully suspicious. Charge the power in her diaphragm? What the heck those that mean? Just who is that girl?

Rin then stared down at Len's resting form with a thoughtful expression. Well, even though she didn't understand what Miku was talking about. She might as well do as she was told.

Rin grabbed a seat and sat in front of Len. She then leaned forward and draped her arm on top of his head and leaned her head on his. There was pause in the air. Rin ignore the noise in the classroom and slowly spoke up. "Hey, listen to me carefully Len..." She started. "Its alright even if you don't respond."

She paused then took a long deep breath. She closed her eyes for a moment before opening them once more and began. "Cheer up!" She exclaimed. "I know what you're going to say...but because I can understand that that's not an easy thing to do, you can be depressed all you like."

She then playfully ruffled his hair in a gentle manner, musing at how soft his hair was as she continued. "I'll simply just wait until you cheer up! And when it's over, let's go to that new cafe and eat some cake with Kaito, Gakupo, and the others. There's a sale next week!" She said before pausing once more.

"That's why..." She muttered, a light blush stained her cheeks with a sad smile on her face as she leaned over and whispered to his ear. "Even if its just a little bit...please cheer up, Len."

That was when Len shuffled and let out a soft groan. Rin jumped slightly as she noticed this and pulled back instantly as Len slowly opened his eyes and rise up from his desk. Rin's heart began to race rapidly in her chest. Somehow...she felt nervous for some reason.

"M-Morning." Rin nervously said. Len rubbed his eyes sleepily as he blinked before mumbling to himself absentmindedly. "I want to eat some cake..."

Rin stared at him, stunned andshe realized he was asleep this whole time. She then snorted and burst into fits of laughter. Seriously. That Len was just...

Len groggily scratched the back of his head with a confused expression on his face. Before a notebook casually hit him in the head and Gakupo sighed. "This guy's still half asleep." He said. "Ouch!"

Rin snickered awkwardly. "Sorry. Its probably my fault." She said. Kaito looked down at Len with concern. "Morning Len, are you alright?" He asked and Len groaned. "Yeah, I'm fine."

They must have made a small commotion because they soon noticed that everyone in class was staring at them curiously. "Nothing to see here people!" Gakupo announced. "Len's just lacking sleep because he's been doing H-rated stuff 'til late last night so please help him by keeping quiet about it!"

Len's eye twitched in irritation while everyone laughed. Kaito laughed nervously before he turned to Len once more. "We'll be uhh...going back to our seat for now so see ya Len." He said as he nudged Gakupo, who looked down at Len with an amused smirk which irritated Len even more.

Rin sweatdropped as they left before she glanced over to Len with a nervous grin. "Um hey Len." She called out. Len leaned back against his chair, grumbling that he hadn't done anything as he groaned.

He then cringed as the sunlight suddenly shone onto his face. "So bright." He grunted. "Looks like its going to be very hot today too..." He sighed heavily. "Its also going to be summer too..."

Rin then laughed. "Well, that's fine too, right? Say...about yesterday, I met this very interesting girl. She was really kind but-"

Rin walked down the path in silence. The dry leaves and twigs crunched underneath her feet as she moved through the shallow forest. She pushed through the bushes and peeked at the cliff where a certain teal haired female sat there with smile as she hummed.

"Oh! You're here!" Rin said and Miku looked up with a pout. "That's so mean. So what if I'm here?" She huffed. Rin laughed as she approached her. "I'm surprised you're here because well...I felt as if we were about to meet soon." She admitted.

Miku smiled at that before she stood up. "So..." She grinned at her. "How did it go?"

Rin paused then smiled awkwardly. "I don't know." Miku nearly lost her footing at that and gaped at her. "Huh?! Things didn't go well?!" She questioned in shock.

Rin then sheepishly scratched the back of her head. "I thought he was just resting his head on the desk when I approached him..." She explained. "But he was actually asleep. Seriously...it was embarrassing."

"Oh." Miku uttered. "But then that's..." Rin shook her head and smiled slightly. "Nonetheless...Len finally laughed after all." She said. "But come to think of it, he was actually laughing because one of our friends was chosen to read a classical literature passage out loud and somehow he started imitating the way our boring teacher would speak."

She chuckled as she thought of the way Kaito robotically read the passage out loud with a mocking looking on his face. It was just hilarious that almost everyone in class tried their best to hold their laughter in.

"It was so funny that everyone was just laughing their heads off, and as for Len. He was trying so hard to not laugh that he was trembling! That lasted for the entire morning..." Rin grinned widely at Miku. "It was really funny."

Miku smiled as she saw the grin on Rin's face. "That's great." Miku said and Rin looked at her with confusion. "That just means that your message got through!"

Rin blinked. "R-Really?" She asked and Miku nodded happily. "Yeah!" She exclaimed cheerfully. Rin stared at her with surprise before her eyes softened and she smiled as well. "I see...I guess you're right."

There was a moment of silence between them as they stared out at the view. The breeze gently caressed their skin as they watched.

"Miku-san." Rin began and Miku glanced at her as Rin turned to her with a wide grin. "Thank you." She said gratefully. Miku's eyes widened before she softly smiled. "No problem."

The two then decided to leave the area and go for a walk since Rin had some time before going home. The two females quietly walked down the pathway to the street as Rin started. "So Miku-san, do you come to that place often?" She asked curiously.

Miku turned and raised a brow at her. "Huh? Actually I've never been there before." She said and Rin looked at her with surprise. "Eh?I thought you do since that was why I assumed you'd be there today too..."

Miku didn't respond to that before she looked up at the sky then back to her. "I'll tell you why, Rin-chan..." She said. "The truth is...I heard a voice" She looked back into Rin's eyes and smiled. "Rin-chan's voice."

Rin's eyes widened. There was a pause before Rin stared at her with an odd expression. "You're kidding me, right?" She said with obvious disbelief. Miku pouted at her. "That's so mean!" She exclaimed with a huff. "I'm telling you the truth!" She stomped her feet to the ground like a child having a tantrum and Rin sweatdropped. She began to wonder who the older one was between the two of them.

Miku sighed then pointed to the sky. "I'm serious! Your voice came down from the sky."

Rin continued to look at her as if she grew a second head. Yup, she was definitely strange. Rin then sighed and shook her head. Oh well...

"Whatever you say..." Rin muttered as they stepped into the sidewalk and began waling down the street as Miku huffed and tried to come up with other topics, which Rin would joke around about them.

Rin thought Miku was a strange girl, especially with what she told her...but it was only later on that Rin finally came to understand the true meaning behind those words.
