"Well," Gakupo said as he drove her to the Vocaloid mansion, "are you ready to meet your new room and friends?"

"Ummm… are they mean?" she answered with uncertainty, thinking that they'll all be mean.

"No way! Most of them are the sweetest things I know!" He drove up to the driveway and got out the car.

The girl followed him to the door of the mansion. Gakupo rang the bell, and back go the two when it was swung open by Meiko along with Iroha, Len, Rin, Yukari, Gumi, and Ryuto.

"Is the new girl here?" Ryuto asked with exciting anticipation, glad that he was part of his company and heard numerous things about her.

"No shit, kid. What'd you expect?" Iroha answered, glaring at the new girl, and then whispering to Yukari.

"Is that how you talk to your first-grade cousin?" Rin muttered under her breath.

Suddenly, a small argument erupted, which became too much for Gakupo and the small girl standing there. He banged his right fist on the small table with a vase on it and shouted, "ENOUGH!"

The group of kids and one adult stepped back a bit, shocked that Gakupo would yell so loudly around a small child like Ryuto, especially when there's a new Vocaloid waiting to be with them.

Yukari whispered, "What a gru-"

"Shut up, Yukarin. You're making things…" Gumi whispered as a reply, then looked straight down at the new girl, balled up on the concrete outside, her hands over her ears. Gumi pushed her way to her and asked if she was okay, with her hand out to help her off the ground.

"Nah. I'm fine," she replied as she picked herself back up and dusted the extra dirt off of her overalls (which had dirt on them to begin with).

...

During dinner, everyone was pretty talkative. Even Mew, and especially Mew. She asked the poor girl so many questions, it was topsy-turvy everywhere. Up and down, left and right, diagonally, squares and triangles, to and fro, peas and carrots, con and pro until…

"So what's the new girl's name?" Yukari asked with the impatience that the spoiled brat was known to have.

"Let her tell it herself," Gakupo answered, then nodded to the girl with brown hair and brown eyes.

She stood up, pushed her chair back, and said the "holiest" of "holies" known to the Vocaloids:

"My name is Kokone. Nice to meet you."
