Hello everyone! I will be making a brand new story! I will also be posting up more chapters for my other stories so stay tuned for that. Anyway without further interruption, let's begin!
Disclaimer: I do not own Vocaloid. All song names also belong to their owners.
The bright sun's rays seeped through the green curtain of a girl's room. The rays hit her face, making her stir in her sleep. She opened her dark green orbs and rose up from her bed with a yawn. She muttered something before walking into her bathroom to get ready for the day. She took a shower, brushed her short black hair and put on her school's uniform before walking out of her bedroom. She was thrown to the floor by a blur blue running passed her.
"Sage, watch where you're going." The girl simply said as she got up from the floor.
"Sorry, Kai. I was just in a hurry." The other girl said as she got up as well, dusting off her blue uniform. She has dark brown hair and purple eyes.
"Just be careful next time." Kai said as she walked down the stairs and into the kitchen.
She was greeted with the aroma of pancakes with maple syrup. She saw a woman with brown hair and purple eyes near the stove humming a tune to herself while making the breakfast. She walked over to the dining table and sat down.
"Good morning Mom." Kai said as she took a sip of orange juice.
"Oh Kai dear, I didn't see you there." Her mother said as she walked over and placed three pancakes onto Kai's plate.
"Thanks." She said as she poured some syrup onto the hot breakfast meal.
"Sky called and said she was coming over in a few minutes so you two can walk to school." Her mother mentioned as she went back to the stove.
Kai groaned, "She's coming so early? I don't even know if I'll be able to finish my pancakes in time."
"I'm sure she can wait for you to finish."
"She better." Kai said as she took another bite, "Cause I'm taking my time."
Her mother chuckled as she went back to what she was doing.
Sage walked into the kitchen and sat down on the seat next to Kai's. She placed a huge poster on the table that almost touched Kai's pancakes.
"Hey, leave your posters in your room!" Kai protested as she pushed her plate away from the poster.
"This is not just a poster, this is Hatsune Miku! She is the greatest Vocaloid to ever live!" Sage explained to her.0
Kai rolled her eyes, "What's so great about her?"
Sage gasped as she slammed her hands onto the table and stared deep into Kai's eyes, "She is the most nicest, beautiful, popular, creative, musical person ever! How could you not know her?"
"Maybe because I never heard of Vocaloid before." Kai simply said as she took a sip of her juice, "It doesn't really concern me."
Sage shook her head as she sat back down. She turned to her mother, "Hey Mom, Kai needs to get out more."
"I don't not!" Kai yelled, giving the girl a death stare.
"Now girls, settle down will you." Their mother said as she walked over and set pancakes onto Sage's plate, "Kai doesn't need to know what Vocaloid is."
Kai smirked.
"But I do agree that she needs to get out more."
Sage grinned back.
Just then, the doorbell rang. Their mother walked to the door and opened it, "Well hello Sky, please come in."
"Thank you Mrs. Valentine." The girl said as she walked into the house.
Her raven purple hair and silver eyes weren't missed by Kai as she walked into the kitchen, "Hey Kai bear!"
"Hello Sky." Kai said as she looked at her friend, "You'll have to wait though, I need to finish these pancakes."
"I'll wait unless Mrs. V gives me some too." Sky said with a smirk.
Kai's mother laughed, "Sure Sky, have a seat."
"Thanks." She said as she did so. She turned to look at Sage's poster, "Nice Hatsune Miku poster Sage."
"Thank you. At least someone knows who she is." She replied as she gave Kai a look, which was diverted.
"I don't need an eight year old telling what I need to know or not." Kai said back.
"Come on Kai, how are you suppose to be popular if you don't even know what Vocaloid is?" Sky asked as she eyes the pancakes that were being placed in front of her.
"I regret ever saying that."
"Of course you do..." Sky said as she shook her head, "Anyway, they even have a school for it. I heard that even Miku herself goes there!"
"They have a school for it too?" Kai asked.
Sage slapped her forehead, "You have a lot to learn dear sister...a lot to learn."
Kai rolled her eyes, "Whatever."
"So...do you want me to teach you about Vocaloid?" Sky asked as they walked to school.
Kai shrugged, "Blabber away..."
Sky clapped in joy, "Well, Vocaloid is pretty amazing. They dress up in these weird costumes, but they're actually people like us."
"Is that so?"
"It's true."
"So, what kind of Vocaloids are there?"
Sky chuckled, "I see you're getting into it."
"Not really."
"Well, there are two categories: The Vocaloids and the Utauloids. The Vocaloids are of course the most popular ones and the Utauloids are the one that try to make their way up to the Vocaloid status."
"Aren't they just the same?" Kai asked with confusion.
Sky nodded, "But they seem to separate the Utauloids from the Vocaloids. I don't know why but if you want to know, you can go ask one."
Kai shrugged.
"You know Kai, you can apply to that school; I'm sure you'll get in."
"Why would I do that?"
"You're a musical prodigy, why would you?" Sky asked with a pout.
"Just because I'm good at music doesn't mean I would want to go to that school." Kai said as she began to walk faster to avoid anymore Vocaloid stuff from her friend.
"Kai...come on!" Sky said as she ran up to catch up to her, "It'll be a waste of your talents to not join."
"I don't need to join a fancy school to show off my talents!"
Sky sighed, "Well okay, if you say so."
The two reached the school and entered, only to find a bunch of students crowded around a sign and a box. They walked over to it to see what it was.
"A raffle?" Kai questioned, "For what?"
"It says it's a raffle for 2 people to get into Vocaloid High! I can't believe it!" Sky exclaimed. She turned to her friend, "We have to put our names in Kai, we might have a chance."
A chance? You can't be serious." Kai told her as she pointed to the box, Look at all those names, there can't be a way that they'll just pull out our names in their by luck."
"Come on Kai, we can at least try! Please!" Sky said as she got down on her knees and begged. She even began to do a puppy face.
Kai huffed, "Fine, but I still don't think we have a chance."
Sky jumped off her knees and cheered, "Thanks Kai."
The two got one of the sign-up sheets and put their names, phone numbers, address, and ages. They then folded it up and placed it into the box with the other sign-ups.
Sky clapped her hands together and prayed, "Please let us get in!"
Kai looked at her friend before she did the same. A little bit of her wanted to get in and see what this school was about.
"Alright, let's get to class before we're late."
The weekend soon came and the two girls still didn't get any contact about if they made it into the school. Sky had even put in Kai's address for her contact in order for them to open their letters together.
"Maybe you were right Kai, maybe we didn't get in." Sky said as she sat on her friend's bed with her knees to her chin.
"Don't give up now. Weren't you the one who wanted it so badly?" Kai mentioned to her as she raised on eyebrow at her friend.
Sky's head lifted from her knees, "You're right, we must have faith."
"I always have faith, I'm not so sure about you."
"Hey!"
A knock sounded on Kai's bedroom door.
"Come in." Kai replied.
The door swung open and revealed Sage, "Mom wanted me to give this to you guys; they look pretty important." She handed what she had to the girls.
"The Vocaloid High letters!" Sky exclaimed as she lifted up her letter in joy.
"Vocaloid High; you two applied to that school?" Sage asked as she looked over Kai's shoulder.
"It was a raffle at school." Kai explained to her.
"Well, let's open it!" Sky yelled as she ripped open her paper.
Kai slowly opened her paper and squinted down at it.
"I got in!" Sky yelled as she jumped off the bed, landing with a thud, "Yes!"
"Hm, seems like I didn't get in." Kai said with a shrug.
Sky stopped crying for joy and looked at her friend, "What, that's not fair!"
"Too bad Kai." Sage said.
Sky narrowed her eyes as she saw her friend squinting her eyes, "Kai, are you wearing your contacts?"
Kai looked up at her with wide eyes, "Crap, I forgot to put them on."
"Geez Kai, go put your glasses on for now and read that letter again!"
Kai muttered something as she reached over to the side of her bed and took her glasses case. She opened the case and pulled out her rounded glasses that seemed to have a glare every time she would put them on; so nobody would be able to see her eyes in them. She placed them on her face and took a look at her letter again.
"Oh my bad, I did get in." Kai said as she looked up at her friend.
"I doubted you for a minute there." Sky said as she hugged her friend around her neck.
"Are you going to tell Mom?" Sage asked.
Kai turned to her as she took her glasses off, "Of course. Obviously we just got a free scholarship to the best school, or at least according to Sky."
"Well you should hurry; Mom is leaving for work in a few minutes." Sage said as she lefted the room.
"Come on Kai, let's go tell your Mom." Sky said as she dragged the girl out of the room.
"A scholarship to Vocaloid Academy? Wow, I'm deeply impressed with you two." Kai's mother said as they stood in front of her.
"No only are they a school for singers and musicians, they're also teach all the stuff we get in our other school." Sky explained.
Kai's mother grinned, "That sounds pretty great, and I know how much you girls love music."
"So, can we go?" Kai asked.
Her mother nodded, "Go ahead girls, you deserve it."
Sky cheered, "Thanks Mrs. Valentine; we'll make you proud."
She chuckled, "I know you girls will. I have to go now, dinner is in the fridge." She walked over and kissed Kai on the forehead and then Sky. She stopped and looked at Sky and laughed.
"Glad to know I'm part of the family." Sky said as she laughed.
Kai's mother chuckled and then kissed Sage goodbye, "See you girls later." And with that, she walked out of the door.
"So, I wonder when we'll start." Sky said as she looked at her paper.
"Not so fast Sky." Kai said as she looked at her paper closely, "It says here that we still need to pass an audition in order to get in completely."
Sky looked at her in shock, "When is it?"
"Tomorrow."
"Oh no, I'm not even prepared!"
Kai rolled her eyes, "Calm down and listen. It also says that you'll be able to perform with someone as a group. After the audition and you and that person passed, you can choose if you want to remain a group and split."
"So, we can start a group!" Sky said as she hugged her, "What should we name it?"
"Let's wait until the audition." Kai said as she patted her friend on her shoulder.
"Okay. So it's still the afternoon. Want to get a pizza?"
The day of the audition finally came and the girls approached the big school.
"Wow, I never seen it so up close." Sky said in awe.
"Come on, the auditions are being held in the auditorium." Kai said as she pulled her friend along with her.
They walked into the school and asked for directions to the auditorium. They then made their way to the auditorium where they saw the sign-in sheets. They approached a lady with red hair and purple eyes.
"Hello, are you here for the auditions?" The lady asked.
The girls nodded as they showed her their acceptance letters.
"Excellent." The lady said as she got up and handed the two a paper, "Just sign in your information and we'll get started. If you need any help with anything on that page, just call. And by the way, my name is Cressida."
"Nice to meet you Cressida. My name is Sky and this is my friend Kai." Sky said as she pointed to herself and then Kai.
"Hi." Kai simply said.
"Nice to meet you girls." Cressida said.
The girls walked over to a few seats and sat down and started to complete the paper.
"Remember, we have to circle group." Kai said as she tapped the spot on her friends paper.
"Got it!" Sky said as she circled it while Kai looked over to make sure she circled the right thing.
After a few minutes, they completed their papers and handed it back to Cressida, who happily took them back.
"How much I love new faces." She said as she got up, "Follow me."
The girls followed her into a dressing room. She then handed them two t-shirts.
"You'll wear these for the audition. You won't be able to create your Vocaloid look until you actually get in." Cressida explained.
The girls nodded as they changed into the shirts and followed Cressida to the backstage where all the other people were waiting. There were a few more lefted before it would be Kai and Sky's turn.
"Just wait here and wait for your names." Cressida said with a smile, "Good luck girls, and I hope you get in."
"Thanks Cressida." Sky and Kai said as she walked away.
"Kai, I am so nervous." Sky said as she hugged her friend for dear life."
"Don't worry Sky, as my Dad used to say: Listen to the music in your heart and it will guide you to wherever you need to go." Kai told her reassuringly.
Sky nodded, "Okay, I'll remember that."
After a while, it was finally their turn. They both held hands for a minute before letting go and walking onto the stage. There they saw four judges, two male and two female.
"Hello." The first female with blonde hair and blue eyes said.
"Hello." Both girls said with a smile.
"What will you be singing for us today?" The first male who had silver hair and red eyes said.
"Six Steps." They answered.
"Take it away."
They both looked at each other before they began to sing...
They had nothing to be afraid of because they ended up getting in. The two also decided on become a group as well, and vowed to make their way to the top with the Vocaloids. And hopefully make their way to the top with Hatsune Miku. And their group name was...
XOXO.
