Hello everyone! Just taking a short break from my other fic "Vocaloid Chronicles". I've wanted to do something with Miku & Mikuo for a little while, i just think that those two deserve a little recognition (yes, i know most people consider them siblings but this is the wonderful real of fan fiction!). There'll be more chapters to come so enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own the Vocaloids or Crypton.

Teal is our color

Chapter 1

It had been a terribly long day for the young, teal haired girl. Her twin pigtails nearly dragging on the wet ground, she carried what was left of her exhausted body home under a tattered umbrella. "Stupid driver" she thought, "you just HAD to forget about picking me up didn't you? I am so firing his ass..."

Regardless of how she felt, it wasn't going to change the fact that she still had to walk another mile in the rain to get home.

When she finally made it back, she looked up at the splendor of the mansion she called home. It had three floors and thousands of square feet for the house's numerous residents. There was a gold plated plaque on the front door that read 'Vocaloid Manor'. Being one of Japan's biggest pop stars at 16 sure had its perks. Unfortunately for Miku Hatsune, reliable drivers did not seem to be one of them.

When she walked in the door she was greeted by a surprisingly sober Meiko, an older resident of the house and the first. Miku took a deep breath of the sweet air. Someone was making western-style apple pie. "Hey Meiko" she said with a definitively sour note in her voice.

Meiko simply smiled. "Hey. Do you think you could take care of the dishes tonight after dinner? Haku, Lily, Luka and I are going to hit that new bar that just opened up down the street. Also, I'm sure someone's told you by now but we're finally filling that room two doors down from you."

A new addition? That didn't happen very often. They were all still expecting the arrival of the third generation of Vocaloid singers but they weren't due to move in for another year and a half according to the current schedule.

Miku was definitely surprised to hear this. "Well, I haven't heard anything from the labs, are any more of us being created?"

Yes, they were all artificially born. Human, but not in the normal way. A number of companies had participated in the program, and Miku was one of the Crypton Corporation's "projects". None of them liked being referred to as such, however. They were all as human as everyone else in their opinions, and it didn't look like anyone was willing to object. Fans had even started pitching in funds to create new Vocaloids based on their own specifications. Akita Neru, Yowane Haku, and the other "fanmades" as they were called took pride in it for the most part.

Meiko spoke up "You know how Kaito and I got 'genderbent' a while back?

Miku remembered. Kaiko and Meito were created as 'alternate gendered' versions of Kaito and Meiko. Meiko and Kaito never really acknowledged them as their siblings though, and that seemed to sit perfectly well with everyone.

Miku pondered this. "Yes, I remember. Meito is just like you; it's almost like seeing double."

"Well you're about to find out what it's like."

Miku didn't understand at first, but it slowly hit her. She got "genderbent"?

"Yep, I met him at the lab this morning. His name's Mikuo and I've gotta say, he's quite a looker."

Lily walked into the foyer wearing nothing but a bath towel. She looked distraught. "WHERE THE HELL ARE MY CLOTHES!"

A muffled laugh could be heard coming from the top of the stairs. Peeking down over the edge of the top step, one could see a big, white bow and a cherry red, curly ahoge.

Lily nearly exploded. "YOU LITTLE BRATS, GIVE ME BACK MY CLOTHES! Sorry for holding us up, Meiko. I just have to go roll some heads real quick and I'll be right back.

Luka and Haku walked into the foyer all dressed up for the drinking trip into town. Of course they were all going to wind up piss drunk anyways, and since

Luka was always the designated driver she always came home annoyed.

Miku spoke up. "How come no one told me sooner that I got genderbent? And that he's moving in!"

Luka gave her a puzzled look. "Um... I told you last week."

"Say what now?"

The pinkette laughed a little "I knew I should have yelled it, you must have been blaring your headphones again."

Now thoroughly pissed off, and STILL soaked from the walk in the rain, she climbed the stairs up to her room without another word.

Still waiting for Lily, the three girls decided to comment on what just happened. Haku, surprisingly, was the first to speak up.

"What's with her? She seems more pissed off than Dell..."

Meiko just laughed a little. "Her driver called in sick today, and i never told her. So right now she thinks she got ditched by her driver and had to walk the two miles home in the rain."

"If she finds out she's going to kill you, you realize that, right?" Luka looked worried and contemplated going to comfort Miku. Luka had always been like a big sister to Miku. "Also, on a side note Haku, how are you and Dell doing? I heard you two arguing last night."

"Oh, that wasn't us arguing, we both get very agitated when we can't find our things. Last night I couldn't find my favorite sake bottle and he lost his lighter."

Luka didn't really have a response to that.

Lily walked into the room dragging two younger girls by their shirts. "Sooo, now that i'm dressed we can go. Just have to go and hang these two-"

"Put 'em down, i don't think they'll be screwing with your stuff again any time soon." Meiko said to Lily in a scolding tone.

"Yeah, whatever. I'll be right back." As Lily walked into the other room, Meiko looked at the two girls on the floor.

"I'm charging extra next time. I'm not always gonna be available to be your insurance policy. Rin, Miki, you two got that?"

The girls nodded and ran off.

"I swear those two aren't much younger than I am but they act like twelve year olds."

Up in Miku's room, loud music was playing. Miku was lying on her bed reading a manga she had borrowed from Gumi, another Vocaloid and resident of the room opposite hers across the hall. "This sucks" she thought aloud, "Why in the hell do I even bother trying to read all these sappy mangas. I should just stick to Bleach and Durarara and be done with it."

There was a knock on her door. Before Miku could say "come in", Gumi threw open the door.

"BULLSHIT! That's perfectly good manga!" The green haired girl had fire in her eyes as she said that.

"Woah, relax girl!" Miku stammered out.

"Sorry! Hardcore otaku, you've heard the song."

"Yeah, I have. Oh, by the way, the music isn't too loud, is it?"

Gumi looked shocked to hear something like that in the Vocaloid mansion. There was always music blaring somewhere or other in the house, and no one ever complained unless it started causing damage.

Miku looked down. "Sorry, I forgot about the too loud, too old policy."

Gumi randomly put on a thick British accent "Best not forget yourself, right young miss?"

"That was... very random."

"Hey, are you alright? You seem pretty run down. Is something wrong?"

"It's nothing, just had a bad day. Also, apparently there's a genderbend of me out now."

"Hey, I heard about that! His name's Mikuo, right?"

Miku looked straight at Gumi. "Hey Gumi, what do you consider your genderbend, Gumo? A brother, a friend, what?"

Gumi had to pause and think about that for a moment, for it was something she never really thought about. "I don't really see him as a brother, no. He was modeled after me so we generally have similar interests but beyond that he's pretty much just a friend of mine.

There was a brief silence. Miku broke it. "Thank god, I was worried I'd have to deal with a little brother. That's a load off!"

"Well..." Gumi began, "He's not little."

"What do you mean?"

"I'm not supposed to show this to anyone yet but a certain someone might have gotten a picture of another certain someone who might be moving in soon."

"YOU GOT A PICTURE OF HIM!"

"Maybe."

"Please lemme see! Please please please!" Miku was practically begging by now.

"Alright, alright, calm yourself! Hold on, I have it right here." Gumi pulled out her iPhone and flipped to the photos section. There he was; the fourth photo in the cue. He had medium length teal hair, the same color as Miku's. He clearly was taller than her and had a sly, almost coy grin on his face. He was obviously in his performing outfit, which looked to be modified from her own. That was expected; however, as most if not all genderbend's performing costumes were similar to their counterparts. Miku began blushing. "This guy... he's... he's..."

"He's hot, ne?" Gumi cut in on her thoughts.

Miku began stammering for words. "I-I suppose he's rather attractive."

"Nah, I still say he's hot!" Gumi said matter-of-factly.

"If you say so..."

"I do!"

At that moment Gumi's cell phone rang. "Hold on, it's the labs. I have to take this." she picked up her phone and answered with a rather harsh greeting. "Uh huh. Wait, tonight? Where is he going to- well I don't know! You're the one in charge of this stuff! Set up a couch? Ugh, fine! Sayonara." Gumi nearly threw her phone into the wall. "Ok, they bumped up the schedule. He's moving in tonight."

Miku was shocked. On such short notice? She had just barely started getting used to the idea of a new face around the mansion. And even as... "Attractive" as this new guy was, Miku didn't like the idea. "A penny for your thoughts?" Gumi broke Miku out of her contemplative trance.

"They're gonna cost you more than that, buddy." Miku just smiled and they both had a much needed laugh. "Days like this, I usually just go down to the basement sound booth and sing 'The Empty Stomach Song' to cheer myself up."

Gumi didn't look surprised. That song could even cheer up the most pissed off person in moments. "Ya know, we should probably go get the guest room ready or something?"

"Teto's in there tonight, remember? She came to hang out with Rin and Miki."

Miku had always liked the red haired girl even though her DNA had accidentally been crossed with bat DNA during the process of creating her, giving her small bat wings.

Gumi frowned. "Where are we gonna put this guy up?"

A knock at the front door silenced both of the girls.

"He's here." Gumi had a look of terror on her face, probably for the express purpose of freaking Miku out just that much more. Gumi could be... sadistic like that.

Miku stood up. "Ok, let's do this."

Gumi followed right along, keeping her hands in her hoodie.

"Hey, is that the hoodie from our 'Matryosha' video?" Miku was surprised that she would wear that, given how much the video creeped her out.

"Yeah, I was cold and despite my reservations this hoodie is SUPER warm."

"Fair enough."

Miku approached the door. Turning the handle, she felt her heart racing for some reason. It's a weird feeling seeing yourself in the opposite gender for the first time. She opened the heavy door.

There he stood, just under six feet tall. His teal hair was matted down over his face from the rain which had really picked up ever since Miku got home. The bag he carried was slung over his shoulder and looked rather heavy. Miku looked at him closely as she opened the door. He was... attractive, like the picture. No, he was VERY attractive. Miku's mind was spinning, and she couldn't stop it.

Mikuo just stood there in the rain, looking back at her. Unsure of what to say, he came up with the most basic thing he could.

"Um, hello, can I come in please? It's really cold and wet out here..."
