Hiii! This is my first Vocaloid story so... I hope I don't do anything that warrants stuff thrown at me Dx

Disclaimer: I don't own Vocaloid or anything.

"Welcome back, Ojō-sama."

Watching him busy himself with the mundane task of picking up her luggage (he had insisted on it despite her objections, saying that it was his job), she waited till he was facing her before giving him a rare smile.

"It's good to be back."

"Ahh-" Flustered all of a sudden, he dropped everything that he was carrying.

Biting back her laughter, the girl looked at him, knowing better than to offer him assistance with her now scattered luggage, but she extended a hand for him to take.

"Are you okay?"

"I'm fine," He mumbled as he took her hand, seeing to other way to avoid it without insulting her, however he let go of her hand as soon as possible and instantly busied himself with collecting her belongings, using it as a cover to hide his growing blush.

'You should smile more often… Although… I know it's because you're excited about seeing her again…'

The teacher scanned the classroom, looking for some unfortunate soul who had the audacity to wander off to 'Lala-Land', what the teacher dubbed day-dreaming, during her lesson.

Sadly, all of her students seemed to be paying rapt attention toward Pythagoras and his many theorems, or at least they seemed to be.

'I must have been too good to shock them all into such behavior,' Yukari-sensei thought back on how she had dealt with previous visitors to Lala-Land. She sighed. 'Damn .And I'm so boring, I'm putting myself to sleep!'

All of a sudden, her eyes landed on an inconspicuous figure seated near the window, who was staring out of the window with a dreamy look on her face.

'Target acquired.' An evil grin grew as Yukari cursed herself for missing that particular student before.

"Hatsune-san!"

"H-Hai!" The teal-haired girl blurted out as she shot up from her seat. "Y-Yorkshire p-pudding!"

Everyone stared at Miku in shock.

"Yorkshire pudding?" Yukari's eyelid twitched violently and the students sensed a storm brewing.

It was one thing to not pay attention in Yukari-sensei's class, but it was another thing to sprout rubbish when caught day-dreaming, further proving that you totally hadn't been paying attention. Not to mention that the sensei could come up with some really crazy ways of punishment.

"Bwahahaha!" Yukari burst into laughter and the class switched their shocked gazes from Miku to their teacher, who was currently slapping her hand on the board.

"You're good, Hatsune. You're good!" Yukari gasped out, wiping tears of laughter from her eyes. "But tell me, why Yorkshire pudding?"

The students weren't convinced by Yukari's laughter, she had often laughed at someone before dealing out punishment.

"She's been thinking about trying out Yorkshire pudding sensei!" Kagamine Rin, one of Miku's best friends, answered for her, trying to rescue her friend who was currently shocked dumb. 'Only God knows how Miku gets herself into these situations!'

"Yes, she's been fantasizing about it all week!" Len, Rin's twin brother, chimed in as he caught on immediately to his sister's plan.

Despite being younger than the class, the two of them were relatively able to keep up with the lessons, having skipped several grades. They had found themselves more or less attached to Miku after she had shown them around and prevented Rin from getting suspended for beating up a few bullies; and spending so much time with her, the twins knew firsthand exactly how ditzy Miku could be.

Yukari-sensei gave the twins a bemused glance as she contemplated what further action to take after Miku's sudden declaration of 'Yorkshire pudding'.

The whole class watched her with baited breath, wondering what Yukari would make Miku do now; it wasn't the first time that Miku had been caught by the teacher.

"Very well, class dismissed!"

"Ehhh?" The class exclaimed as one person, sans Miku, who had slipped back into Lala-Land.

"What, you don't like it when you get fifteen minutes of break before your next class?" Yukari grinned. "I know you adorable kids simply just adore me, but I must reward Hatsune-san for being so entertaining! Ciao!"

The students were left staring at the empty spot where their Mathematics teacher had just occupied.

"It's official! Yukari-sensei is the best teacher ever!" The students cheered, happy to have a breather before their next dreary lesson, history. The teacher wasn't in today, but he loved to torture them and was sure to have left them some tedious work to do.

"You can sit down now Miku," Rin tugged insistently at her sleeve till she obeyed. "Miku?"

"Huh?" Miku snapped awake, staring at the twins in front of her. "Rin-chan? Len-kun?"

"You've been really out of it for these few days Miku-nee," Len said in concern. "Are you really that busy with Student Council duties?"

Seeing Miku's eyes unfocused again, Rin snapped her fingers in front of Miku's face. "Miku!"

"Yes!" Miku came back again.

"You have to call her Miku and sound bossy when you say it." Rin told her twin.

"The president had better come back soon; Miku-nee has seen better days…" Len noted the dark rings around Miku's eyes, it was clear for all to see that she hadn't been sleeping well.

"Else she might not have her vice-president anymore," Rin finished for Len. "Hey, I wonder how Miku-nee got picked to be vice-president anyway, she's -"

"I'm right here you guys!"

"Ohh, you insult her and she wakes!" Rin and Len said together, and then giggled at Miku's look of mock outrage. "Let's run!"

"We'll get you a leek from the cafeteria Miku-nee!" They said in unison as they ran off.

"And an orange!"

"No, a banana!"

The twins glared at each other before both gave in to the other.

"Fine, we'll get both an orange and a banana!"

"Are you sure that you want to go to school, Ojō-sama? You should stay home and rest, especially after your long flight."

"It's okay, Takeshi. I won't be attending any lessons, I'll just be reporting to the Headmaster and maybe go through some Student Council stuff, to make sure that things are running smoothly." She argued, a small part of her disappointed at the thought of not being able to go to school, but she wasn't going to give in without a fight.

When she had changed into her school uniform and told Takeshi to get the car, he had almost refused, but gave in when she threatened to go there herself. Still, she knew him well enough to guess that he would try again, but she was adamant that she would go to school and nothing would stop her.

'Lies… you should just admit that you want to see her again…' Takeshi kept his features schooled into an emotionless mask as he directed the chauffer to continue towards the school.

"Whatever you wish, Ojō-sama."

"How many times do I have to remind you? There's no need to be so formal, call me Luka!" She chided, and then added in a softer tone, regretting her earlier choice of words, "We did grow up together, Takeshi…"

"My apologies, Luka-sama," Takeshi didn't even bat an eyelid at her sudden outburst. Luka had always been particular about him addressing her as such, for she had found it extremely uncomfortable when he had switched from calling her 'Luka' to 'Ojō-sama' within a day. "I will make it a point to remember."

Luka frowned but otherwise she didn't comment. The closest she had ever gotten in their many clashes about him addressing her had been 'Luka-sama' and he had refused to give in anymore. 'And he claims to be my faithful servant, how irritating-'

"Will you be meeting Luki-sama?" The object of her irritation cut into her thoughts.

"What? Um, no. He should be having lessons right now." Luka answered distractedly as she noticed familiar buildings through the window. She was getting closer and closer to the school now. Closer and closer to her.

'It's been so long… Are you angry? Is that why you didn't call me or anything? I wonder how much you have changed, Miku…'

'Luka…' Miku wandered off into Lala-Land once more. 'It's been almost six months and you haven't replied to any of my mails nor answered any of my calls…'

'Who knows, she's probably having so much fun that she forgot all about you.' A voice in her head suggested traitorously. 'She met someone else and you're left behind here, all alone…'

"M-Miku-san?"

Miku pushed away all thoughts of Luka from the front of her mind and looked up, smiling at the stuttering boy that stood in front of her desk. "What is it, Hideo-kun?"

"C-Can y-you…" The boy paused for a moment and he blushed furiously before rushing on. "Can you meet me at the back courtyard at lunchtime?"

At that question, everyone within hearing distance stopped whatever they were doing to stare at Miku, watching and waiting for her reaction.

'She's going to say no!' They watched as Miku frowned upon hearing Hideo's request before an unreadable look passed over her features. 'Too bad, Hideo!'

"Why not now?"

"WHAT?" Everyone answered for Hideo, who had a look of utter shock on his face.

"What? It's free period later since sensei isn't in and there's still time before the next lesson, thanks to Yukari-sensei." Miku got up and smiled at Hideo. "Shall we go now? I'm sure that you don't want everyone listening to your troubles as well."

She grabbed his hand and led him out of the classroom.

'Idiot!' The class watched the two of them leave.

"She's going to reject him, isn't she?" Rin asked her twin. They had returned in time for the 'show'. "Once he confesses and she finally realizes why he called her out."

Len shrugged as he munched on his banana thoughtfully. "Miku-nee is slow."

"She always is." Gumi walked by, a carrot in hand. "But then, that's what makes her so adorable! She'll go buy a whole sack of carrots for you if you tell her that you'll die from withdrawal symptoms!"

"Say, isn't Hideo a little…" Len frowned. "A little like that too?"

"She better reject him." Rin's eyes glittered dangerously as she whipped out her phone. "The world doesn't need more idiots."

"So, what is it Hideo-kun?" Miku asked gently once they were in the shelter of the flora in the back courtyard. "You're failing your tests? Family issues? Bullying?"

"Umm, it's n-none of t-that…" Hideo stammered. "I j-just wanted to… I, err… I-" His tongue twisted itself into knots as he felt the full weight of Miku's attention on him. "I just…"

"Oh, sorry!" Miku's phone vibrated and Hideo was relieved that her attention had been momentarily diverted, giving him more time to mentally prepare himself.

-NEW MESSAGE-

From: Rin

To: Miku

Re: IMPORTANT! READ IMMEDIATELY!

Miku, if you do what I imagine will happen in my worst nightmare, you're never seeing that leek we got from the cafeteria! D:

P.S. I'll tell the prez too!

-End-

'What's wrong with counseling people?' Miku wondered as she slipped her phone back into her pocket. 'I'm sure that Hideo-kun isn't allergic to vegetable juice like that last guy…'

Lily stared out of the window, trying her best to zone out her boring history teacher.

'I swear, there's something wrong with the clock!' She glared at the offending object as if she could make time pass quicker on willpower alone. When she got bored of staring at the clock, she went back to staring out of the window, noticing a car driving through the school gates.

'Probably some teacher showing up for work,' Lily dismissed it as nothing important. Yet she kept her eyes trained on the car. 'There's something awfully familiar about that car…'

Her eyes grew even wider when a very familiar scene played out; with the car stopping at the driveway and someone rushing out, opening the door for a very familiar person.

"Kaichō!" Lily exclaimed, more to herself than to the rest, shooting up from her seat in surprise. "The Student Council President! She's back! And she's in school!"

"Where?" Chairs scrapped against the floor as everyone rushed to the windows, all eager for a look at the president.

"It's really her!"

"She's back!"

"Luka-sama!"

Lily hurriedly sent out a mass message to all members of her Journalist Club informing them of the latest update. Soon, students in each class all rushed to the windows in excitement.

"Okay… Everyone!" Lily stuck her head out of the window and looked to her right, just a few classrooms away was her ever-reliable assistant Gumi with a loudspeaker in her hand. How Gumi managed to produce such things out of nowhere always amazed Lily, but being a fellow practitioner of the motto 'A journalist is always prepared!' the only thing that truly impressed Lily was where Gumi managed to hide them until they were needed.

"On the count of three! One…"

Lily looked back down and saw that they had caught Luka's attention. Grinning widely, she took her camera out of her bag and aimed the lens at Luka. 'A journalist is always prepared…'

"…Two!"

Lily wondered how Luka would react to such a ridiculous greeting, would she frown and pretend that it had never happened? 'Well, she is staying around for it…'

"…Three!"

"Ohaiyō Kaichō-sama!" Everyone chanted enthusiastically.

To their surprise, Luka smile and greeted them back in her clear voice.

"Ohaiyō,minna-san."

"Kyaaa! She smiled! And greeted us back!" Everyone had just about melted after Luka's response, all silently watching her walk into the building before coming back to life again.

"Did you get a picture?" A voice accompanied by the sound of phone buttons being pressed rapidly snapped Lily out of her daze.

"What? Oh, I think so…" Lily went through the photos that she had taken, praying that she had somehow pressed the shutter and captured that rare moment.

"Yes! We have our article now Neru!" Lily cheered when she found it. "The President is back: Imperial Academy's very own Ice Princess!"

"Got it." Neru saved the data inside her phone and, in a rare moment, looked up from it. "She looks really happy to be back…"

"M-Miku-san, I-I really like you very m-much!"

"H-Hideo-kun..." Miku was shocked. Of all the things she had imagined him saying, she definitely hadn't expected that. "I…I'm so sorry, but I can't accept your feelings…"

"It's okay," Hideo tried not to look too disappointed; he had expected such an outcome after all. "I-I just wanted to tell you rather than keep it all bottled up…"

"I… I really don't know what to say…" Miku felt extremely bad. "I'm so sorry…"

"Don't be… You're a really kind person, Miku-san!" Hideo smiled at her. "Can we at least be friends?"

"Of course!" Miku smiled back. "You're a really sweet boy, Hideo-kun. I might have accepted you if…" Her voice trailed off. 'If I wasn't already so preoccupied with Luka…'

Noting his sudden crestfallen expression when he thought that she wouldn't notice, Miku sighed, feeling guilty for rejecting him even though she had done this before dozens of times with other boys. Still, she was already in a relationship, and she had no reason to accept those boys.

"Hug?"

"Huh?" He was shocked at her unexpected offer.

"A hug, as friends." Miku explained, beaming. "You'll feel better."

"O-Okay…" He looked doubtful, but he wasn't going to pass up such an opportunity.

"The Headmaster's Office is at the back of the school," Takeshi informed, pushing up his spectacles. "Do you still remember the way, Luka-sama? I can lead the way if-"

"I haven't been around for six months, not six years Takeshi. And not being around for six months doesn't mean that I get amnesia," Luka smiled as they rounded the corner that led to the back courtyard. "I'm sure that there weren't any radical changes to the school layout while I was gone-"

Takeshi nearly knocked her over when she suddenly stopped, staring at something to her left.

"Why did you-" Takeshi turned his head to the left as well. A couple was standing in the middle of the courtyard, the rosebushes growing around the courtyard failing to hide them, and they were hugging each other.

'Teenagers.' He dismissed them as nothing before having a double-take and he looked back in shock. "That girl has-"

"Let's hurry." Luka cut in coldly and she set off at a brisk pace, almost as though she was about to break into a run.

"Luka-sama!" Takeshi followed close behind, puzzled by the brief look of hurt and anger that had appeared on Luka's face before she dropped into an emotionless mask. He tried his best to recall why that teal-haired girl had seemed so familiar.

Then it hit him.

'Isn't that your girlfriend, Hatsune Miku?'

Well, how was it? Not too bad for a product of my demented mind I hope? :D
