Author: Okay, so how do I do this whole fanfic writing thing?
Chaos: There's really not a template for HOW this is done; people just kind of… write. Though I did read through the rules of what is considered an "Acceptable entry," and you're not allowed to use a script format when you write.
Author: …Oops.
Chaos: Eh, who reads the Terms and Conditions anyway?
Author: You did, apparently.
Chaos: Touche. Whatever. So, dear readers, here we are with our very first fanfiction! A little piece we call The Ice Cream Thief.
Author: Chaos won't do this, so I guess I will. DISCLAIMER: None of these characters belong to us, so I don't want to see anyone filing lawsuits. But if you DO, sue Chaos because she was the one to drag me into this mess.
Chaos: Hey!
The Ice Cream Thief
The love of my life…
The one thing that always kept me going, no matter my troubles…
The single comfort in a life of hardships and pain…
And now you're gone… forever.
No, no! This can't be happening!
My God…
"What happened to my Rocky Road?!" Kaito Shion's voice ripped through the home of the Vocaloids like a gunshot. Miku Hatsune jumped as she was fixing her long turquoise-green hair and pulled out a few strands. The twins, Rin and Len Kagamine were practicing the duet of Butterfly on Your Right Shoulder, and Len screamed and jumped into the arms of his tougher sister. Kamui Gakupo nearly stabbed himself with his samurai sword as he was practicing, and Luka Megurine used some of the more colorful words she had learned in English to describe her surprise. The rest of the Vocaloids didn't seem to care much, as this wasn't the first time Bakaitorandomly started screaming.
Those five that did care about the poor moron rushed to his side in the kitchen, where he still stood in front of the open freezer door.
"It's gone…" He whispered, voice dry and coarse from the scream. His face was pale, and from an outsider's perspective it might have seemed like he had suffered the death of a loved one. In his mind, of course, he had.
"Kaito, why don't you take a seat?" Miku gently led him by his arm and sat him down in a chair at the dining room table. Kaito didn't resist being led, but he didn't acknowledge it either. The blue-haired man buried his face in his scarf and laid his head on the table.
"Get ahold of yourself, man!" Gakupo said as Kaito emitted a muffled sob. "We can always by more ice cream!"
"Jesh, buf ig fush ishn teseme." Kaito replied, his voice too garbled to clearly hear what was being said through the scarf.
Gakupo raised an eyebrow. "Come again?"
"Yes, but it just isn't the same." Kaito barely lifted his head from the table. "You don't understand, Gakupo. My ice cream is my life. If I've had a bad day, I eat ice cream. If I've had a good day, I eat ice cream. I reward myself with a good recording session with ice cream and at the end of the day I like to settle down with a nice bowl of ice cream. That frozen dessert is mine and mine alone, and the thought that anyone would dare steal it is just too much." Kaito plopped his head back down on the table and yet another sob could be heard.
"Are you sure it's even been taken? It might just be back behind some of this other stuff." Rin had Len boost her up so that she could search through the frozen foods and to the back of the freezer. After a moment she uttered a surprised grunt and pulled out a foreign object. "Is this… a cell phone battery?"
Everyone, even Kaito, turned to look at what Rin held. It was a lithium ion battery, for sure, and it was exactly the type you would find in a rechargeable cell phone. Len put Rin down and she placed the battery on the table in front of Kaito. "Do you know how this got here?" She asked.
The gears spun in the young man's mind and suddenly his eyes lit up fiercely. "I'll bet that the thief dropped it while they were stealing my ice cream!"
Luka looked dubious. "How do you go about accidentally dropping a cell phone battery in a- OW!" She winced and held her arm, but Kaito was paying no attention.
"Of course! This is a clue! The perpetrator is testing my wits by leaving me clues as to who they are! But who does this clue point to?" Kaito thought for a moment, and then snapped his fingers. "Ah-hah! I know exactly who this could be! This heinous crime will not go unpunished, mark my words!" He shot out of the kitchen with the cell phone battery in tow.
The group in the kitchen stood in silence for a few moments until Len looked Rin.
"Um, he does realize that the person who stole the ice cream probably ate it too, right?"
"Shhh, let the poor man dream."
