This story was supposed to be an omake for Mikuo's dream, but I got carried away and wrote too much. So I decided to write a separate story for this idea.


"Kaito, where have you been?" A teenage girl with long brown hair complained.

"Sorry Meiko," Kaito apologized sheepishly. "I was on my way when I saw that a new ice cream store that opened up on main street and-"

Meiko punched him in the guts. He doubled over and gasped in pain before shakily holding up a plastic bag. She squealed before snatching the bag and looking inside.

"Uh, sorry," she said as she hauled him up to his feet. Meiko Sakine was notoriously strong and the captain of many sports teams in their school. Her temper was legendary as well and many wondered how she remained friends with Kaito who was famous for irking people with his stupidity.

"No problem," he whispered. Kaito Shion, an idiot in many ways was also known for being the most happy-go-lucky guy in the school. He was the object of many girls' affections, though he was clueless to their feelings. Many wondered how he could deal with getting injured every day by Meiko.

"I know what's in that bag is special to you~" he teased. Meiko flushed and looked away. "GASP! Meiko Sakine, defeater of delinquents is embarrassed about giving chocolate to a boy?"

"SH-SHUT UP!" Meiko shouted at him, fuming. It was true. Tomorrow was Valentines Day and she was finally going to confess to her long time crush. He was a senior, and she was going through her last year of middle school. It was her last chance of confessing before he would go off to college.

"Re-LAX, Meiko," said Kaito. "You know I'm coming with you for moral support. And it's not like anyone's gonna attack you for confessing before them."

"Yeah," Meiko said with a smile. During the early months of middle school, there was a rumor that Meiko and Kaito were a couple. Several girls tried to use petty revenge tactics such as stinking up her locker and getting rid of her desk. Meiko ignored them until a 'brave older brother' came to punish Meiko for taking his sister's love. His head ended up stuck in a wall and school officials had no idea how. Needless to say, nobody bothered Meiko again.

"Now go on and fill that chocolate with your love, darling. And good luck!" he saluted at her and she laughed and saluted back. He waited until she was out of sight to start walking home.

He really hoped that he would accept her love. Meiko had a fragile heart, despite being so tough. And if he didn't, Kaito had made a promise to himself that anyone who messed with his best friend would receive his wrath.

Then he walked into a pole.


"HEY KAITO."

Kaito snorted and turned around in bed, squint glaring at whoever disturbed his dream about ice cream Barneys. His younger brother Akaito was staring at him, with his even younger sister Kaiko standing behind him.

"What?" he whined.

"Check your clock," he said before walking away. Kaito slid his focus to his sundae alarm clock.

"GAALSDFJSDF!" he shouted as he tripped over his feet in a mad dash to the closet.

Kaiko winced as her oldest brother tripped again on the randomly placed clothes on the floor.

"Brother?" she asked when he was dressed in his uniform, albeit haphazardly.

"Nuu?" he questioned when she gave him a cold box.

"Happy Valentine's Day Brother," she cheerfully said. Kaito stared at the box before running back into his room and shuffling around a bit. He returned with a large bag and dug around in it before pulling out a stuffed replica of Kaiko.

"Brother it's so cute!" she squealed. Kaito smiled and ruffled Kaiko's short hair.

"Happy Valentine's day to you too, kiddo," he replied as they walked to the kitchen.

Kaito ran to the table and opened his box. To his delight, there was a large Haagen-Dazs container inside, with the new flavor.

"THANK YOU KAIKO~" he exclaimed as he hugged her. She giggled in his embrace.

"What, a family hug without me?" Akaito complained dramatically. Kaiko reached under Kaito's arms and pulled Akaito into the love fest. After a few minutes, Akaito broke away and gave Kaito a sack, and Kaiko a card.

"It's a gift certificate for that store you like," he explained to Kaiko. "And as for you older brother, that is a super insulated bag that will keep your ice cream colder longer."

"AKAITO~" Kaito cried as he glomped on his brother. While he sneaked an Akaito plushie into his brother's bag, Kaiko mimicked him and they stayed in that position until a knock on the door brought them out of it.

"Knock knock. Who's there? Taito. Taito who? Taito who's gonna stab your asses if you don't move them on to school."

The three of them quickly dispersed and exited out the back way just in case their cousin really planned to attack them.


"Happy Valentine's Day, Kaito."

"Happy Valentine's Day, Meiko!"

The two exchanged their gifts, Meiko smiling at the mini Meiko doll and Kaito hugging Meiko for the gift cards for 3 of his favorite ice cream shops.

"Do you have it ready?" he whispered while hugging her. She nodded very slightly and patted her bag.

"Well let's get to class!" he shouted as he marched her to their homeroom class.

During class, Meiko exchanged gifts with Miriam, a good friend of hers who was an exchange student from England. She laughed as Kaito found that his lock to his locker was mangled, and his locker and desk were filled with chocolates. But her mind was firmly set on the package in her bag.


"Don't get me wrong," Kaito said with his mouth full as they ate on the roof top. "I love the fact that all those girls put time and effort into making me chocolate, but why couldn't any of them have gotten me ice cream?"

"Maybe because chocolate is easier to make than ice cream," Miriam inputted.

"But they could buy some," Kaito whined, eating Kaiko's gift ice cream from Akaito's gift sack.

"The ice cream would probably have melted by the time you got it," Miriam shrugged. "Hey Meiko, you haven't said anything all lunch. Something on your mind?"

Meiko simply gestured to her bag. Kaito and Miriam gave knowing smiles.

"Don't worry, I'll be confessing in the high school too," Miriam said comfortingly.

"And I'll be there as moral support!" Kaito said cheerfully. Meiko snorted.

"If you don't get mobbed by high school girls first," she retorted. But she was smiling, despite the frenzy of butterflies in her stomach.

"Come on," Miriam said. "We're the three vocalteers. What could go wrong?"


Kaito panted, as he ran up to the high school gate. Meiko and Miriam were waiting and Meiko smacked him on his head. "Took you long enough!" she complained.

"Well sorry," he puffed. "But the Vocals advisor was not happy about the three of us skipping club today. So I had to take the brunt of her yelling and she has very strong lungs!"

"Sorry Kaito," Meiko apologized. "I'm just really, really nervous."

"Well, standing around here won't help, so let's go!" Miriam said in a tone much more confident than she felt.


DING DONG.

DING DONG.

DINGDONGDINGDONGDINGDONGDI-

"STOP ALREADY!" Meito yelled as he opened the door. Kaito smiled sheepishly but made his face serious.

"Is Meiko home?" Miriam asked. Meito frowned and he shook his head. Apparently, she ran to her room in determination yesterday and stayed there for the rest of the day. When he tried to find out why, a picture frame knocked him out. By the time he woke up, she was gone.

"Do you have any idea where she could have run off to?" Miriam pleaded.

According to Meito, Meiko liked singing karaoke a lot when they went to eat at karaoke places. She'd sing and sing until the store manger kicked them out. She sang even more songs when she had a hard day at school.


"Well we checked all the family karaoke bars," Kaito sighed. "So she might be in an adult karaoke bar. I guess when your heart is shattered into fine powder, you lose common sense."

"Nice job with that guys face," Miriam commented. Kaito smiled a bit. His hand hurt like hell right now, but that guy deserved it. How could he have done that?

"That guy was a douche bag," Kaito muttered. Miriam nodded. Kaito rarely saw the bad side of people, but seeing his best friend hurt like that pushed him over the edge. "I liked how you spin kicked his jewels."

"I had a bit of frustration left over from when I found out my object of confession had moved," she explained. "And that guy deserved so much more than that."

They stopped their conversation when they heard a familiar voice drifting from a shady looking bar. They looked at each other and nodded before running off to the bar. Inside, the dimly lit room cast shadows on the inhabitants, making them look creepier than they should have looked. In the middle of the room, there was a stage where their friend was currently making a fool of herself. They gasped as they realized her hair was chopped off into a short cut. Her jacket was tied around her torso and her tie was around her head and she was currently singing 'Somewhere over the Rainbow' in a tipsy manner.

"Hey guys!" Meiko slurred when she saw them. "Git on up here! Join me in this verse!" She belted out a few more lyrics before singing, "WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER!" Kaito winced. Meiko hated High School Musical. Did she drink anything?

"All right Meiko, time to go home," Miriam coaxed as she stepped on stage, Kaito following her. The bar goers booed and someone yelled, "LET HER SING!"

"PWEASE MIRI?" Meiko begged. "Just ONE more eensy weensy teeny weenie yellow polka dot bikini. That she wore for the first time today~ I meant SONG!" she said before laughing loudly to herself.

Miriam exchanged worried looks with Kaito. The bar people were chanting 'ONE MORE SONG' and Meiko was currently making a puppy dog face. Meiko deserved another song after what she had been through, she decided.

"All right," she agreed reluctantly. Meiko whooped and the bar people cheered. Meiko skipped to the machine and quickly picked a song before grabbing two more mikes and prancing over to her friends.

"It's a trio!" she explained. Kaito and Miriam looked at each other, shrugged and sang along to the strange song.


"Well I'm glad we got that sorted out," Miriam sighed as they walked to Meiko's house. Kaito nodded, his movement slightly jostling the sleeping Meiko on his back, who snorted, then kept sleeping.

"Those guys weren't as shady as they seemed," Kaito said cheerfully. After the song finished, Meiko collapsed. Upon further inspection by one of the bar goers (who was a doctor) she was declared to have exhausted her energy by singing and stress. They all bid them farewell and asked them to come next week.

"Well except for that one creepy guy," Miriam shuddered. "What kind of dopes did he think we were, believing he was a music producer? We aren't naïve teenage girls."

"Well technically you are, but I'm not," he replied. When she raised her fist, he shouted, "I'M WITH A TRAUMATIZED PERSON, DO NOT INJURE ME!"

"I wonder if she'll remember anything when she wakes up," Miriam wondered.

"Well since it was her first time drinking, she probably won't," Kaito replied. "What kind of bar lets a middle schooler have alchohol?"

"She probably threatened them," Miriam reasoned. "I think I saw a chair stuck in the wall."

They reached her house and Miriam rang the door bell. Meito opened it, and upon seeing his sister unconscious on Kaito's back, hastily let them in. Meiko curled up on the couch, with a blanket draped over her as Kaito and Miriam explained what happened to Meito. When they got to the part when Meiko started to crowd surf, Meiko woke up.

"Wha, what happened?" she asked. Kaito then hugged her saying never to scare them like that again, and Miriam glomped her also and told her to never go off on her own like that. Meito joined in just for fun.

"I remember offering my gift and confessing…" she said quietly. They all stood still, still hugging. "Then I remember feeling my heart get sliced into a thousand pieces and a thwump as I ran away. I went home then threw a picture at Meito then I tried sleeping but I couldn't then I cut off my hair and went into a bar and demanded a drink, then I threw a chair into the wall…. It's all a blur after that," she confessed.

As her friends and brother filled her in, she groaned and pillowed herself.

"I can't believe I did that," she said, her words muffled.

"It's okay Meiko, your fragile heart was broken, you deserved to do that!" Kaito said with what he thought was a reassuring phrase. Meiko sunk deeper into depression and Miriam and Meito both smacked him in the head.

"Hey," Miriam said gently. "Don't worry, Kaito and I took care of that asshole for you, and the people at the bar were real nice and not creepers at all. Well except for that one guy."

"Man, I don't know how I'm going to show my face at school on Monday," Meiko sighed. "'MEIKO THE UNBEATABLE BREAKS DOWN BECAUSE OF REJECTION' will so be in the school newspaper this week."

"I'm not so sure about that," Meito said slyly. The three looked at him confused. "Some girls contacted our house when you two were looking for Meiko and explained that they were girls at the high school who saw what happened. They said it was the douchiest thing they've ever seen and that they support you. They know your reputation and thought it was cute that you wanted to confess-" Meiko groaned "And were astonished by his response. So they're going to make sure that it doesn't get out that in your moment of weakness, he attacked your heart. Also they're ready to capture him just in case you want to beat him up."

Meiko shook her head behind the pillow. "If I ever see him again, I'll probably kill him," she admitted.

"I'll help!" Kaito cheered as he raised his hand.

"Me too," Miriam agreed, and Meito mimicked Kaito.

Meiko laughed and lowered the pillow and they could see her eyes were red and she still had tears in her eyes, but she was laughing with her heart.

"You guys are the best," she sighed as she hugged them.


"Hey three vocalteers, we have an emergency Vocals meeting," Akaito joked as he walked by the classroom. The three joined him, Meito and Kaiko in the hallway, walking towards the chorus room.

"Why do you think Frog Song wants all of us there?" Meito asked.

"Maybe a music producer came and wants fresh talent," Miriam said hopefully.

"Yeah right," Meiko snorted. "She probably wants our opinion on her wardrobe or something."

Kaito smiled. It was good to see Meiko back to her old self again. Only the witnesses, Kaito, Miriam, Meiko and Meito knew what happened on that fateful Friday. Meiko had gotten her hair cut into a more 'normal' fashion upon her brother's insistence. Akaito and Kaiko didn't seem to notice if she was acting differently. She seemed to have healed up a lot, though she tensed up and teared a little whenever someone mentioned her former crush's name.

As the six walked into the room, their large music instructor waddled in and instructed them to sit down IMMEDIATELY. When they were seated, she explained that a famous producer was visiting the school today to look for some teen singers. Miriam smirked.

As 'Frog Song' introduced the man and he walked in, Meiko and Miriam both had shocked looks on their faces.

Miriam tugged on Kaito's sleeve. He was oblivious to who the man was. As usual.

"It's the mystery producer!" Meiko squealed under her breath. "He helped many singers rise to fame, but nobody knows his name. He hasn't worked with anyone in years! I wonder why he's here?"

"I think I know," Miriam gulped. As they all looked at her questioningly she explained, "that's the guy who said he was a music man at that karaoke place."

"So he saw me-"

"Yup."

"I guess he wasn't lying then," Kaito murmered. Meiko groaned and hid her face, not wanting to be remembered as that crazy drunk middle school singer.

"This isn't good," Miriam said panicked. "What if he says that he saw Meiko drinking?"

"Shh! He's saying something," Kaiko whispered, not knowing what was going on. Though less stupid than their brother, Akaito and Kaiko still were a bit ignorant to things.

"- so I decided to take a break," the producer was explaining. "I went on a subway and ended up here, so I went to a bar near the station. I was contemplating on where I could find my next talent and didn't notice how much I was drinking. I guess I ended up drunk because I remember a girl singing karaoke on the stage who wore a uniform very similar to the ones you girls are wearing."

His eyes rested briefly on Meiko who squirmed. "She was singing wonderfully though tipsily as if she was drunk, but I'm sure none of you spend your weekends at bars, singing while drinking beer." The club laughed, except for Kaito, Meiko, Miriam and Meito who were tense.

"Then I saw another girl and a boy join the girl on stage and sing togethor. Though I was undoubtedly under the influence, it was the most wonderful music I've heard. I tried to recruit them, but was later told I was talking to a table." The room laughed again and Meiko relaxed. It didn't seem like he would tell anyone.

"I've decided to act on that drunken vision," he concluded. "So I'm going to take 2 girls and 1 boy and try to bring them into the big time."

While Akaito and Kaiko chattered excitedly as they went on the line to auditon to him, Meito knew the producer had already decided. He was just doing this to make sure that the voices he heard were their real voices not the figments of his mind, which probably wasn't alchohol affected.

It looks like the Three Vocalteers would end up in the big time.

And all because Meiko confessed to that son of a-


I have no idea how this story got this long.

Miriam is sent to 'Engloid' a separate group from Meiko and Kaito who started a new group called 'Vocaloid'. The 'Producer' is the father of 'Master' who becomes the 'Manager' of the band after Miku and the twins join.

I'll probably add their chapters after, but who knows when.

The Miku chapter probably will be less 'serious' than this one though.

Frog Song is called Frog Song because when she sings, she sounds like a demented frog. How she ended up as a music teacher, I don't know.
