A True Vocaloid-You Care After All…
I'm Melody Wakaine, Age 7½. I used to live with Teto Kasane, Akita Neru, and Haku Yowane. Yes, I am a Vocaloid, but they thought I could be a better singer if I go live with Miku Hatsune. So now I live in a house with her, Kaito, Meiko, and Rin and Len Kagamine. I've been living here for several weeks now. I've been to their concerts, but I just watch from the side. I'm used to it now, the fans, pictures, autographs and all that, I just wish it was me they were cheering for, but hey that's just about everyone's dream, right?
Melody's P.O.V
Another day in the Vocaloid home… I was watching Anime with Len and Rin. Just then, Onee-chan (That's what we call Miku) walked in.
"Rin, Len come to the studio. Meiko-san is going to talk to us about our concert!" She said.
"Hai!" They said at the same time and stood up.
"We'll be back Melody-chan" Len said before leaving.
"When is it?" I heard Rin ask as they walked down the hallway.
"In 2 days." Onee-chan replied
"Eh? 2 days? We didn't get any notice"
"Well you know Nee-chan, sometimes…" Onee-chan said, but I couldn't hear the rest because they left up the elevator that goes only to the studio.
"I'm always left out…"I said but I still wanted to see what they were doing. I knew if I'd go up the elevator everyone would see me so I took the stairs. When I got to the studio, I looked in the window and saw them do a cool dance with a cute song! I sat down and listened to them. I heard Len messing up, Kaito missed his cue, (Whatever that is…). Luka left to get everyone juice so I had to hide around the corner. As soon as she left I heard Meiko make an announcement.
"Okay everyone! Good rehearsal! Also, we're going to have some others join the performance" She said. This was it! I was finally gonna perform. I was soo happy!
"Akita, Haku and Teto." Meiko finished. Then I wasn't so happy anymore. How could I fool myself thinking I was going to perform? I felt so stupid! I just wanted to cry. So I did. Quietly, of course.
"What's the matter, Melody-chan?" I heard someone say.
"Oh, Luka-san. Nothing. I'm fine." I said back wiping tears. She put down the tray of drinks and sat down next to me.
"C'mon I know you're not crying for no reason. Hold on a second." She said then left with the tray and went into the studio. I could hear everyone say 'thanks' and 'my favorite'. Then Luka-san came back out.
"Now then, shall we go and make some fresh carrot juice?" She said standing up and offering me her hand.
"Yeah, that sounds great!" I said. And we walked to the elevator and down to the kitchen.
The day of the concert finally came. I was pretty much alone yesterday since everyone was rehearsing. So Len, Rin and I were back in the living room watching Anime.
"Rin, Len! Can you come and help me in the kitchen?" Onee-chan called to them.
"Hai" They said and left. They don't ask me to do anything. I'll show them that I can do anything they can! I thought. I ran to my room so I can practice the dance they were doing. Then I can show them and they'll let me be in the show! It's a perfect plan.
Len's P.O.V
"Rin pass me the spoon please!" I said to Rin. We were busy making lunch for everyone with Onee-chan.
"Here!" she said and threw the spoon at my head. Just then we heard a loud thud.
"Wow Len, is your head really that dense?" Rin said walking towards me to see if I had a bump on my head.
"I don't think that was Len-kun's dense head" Onee-chan said. I gave her a sour look.
"It sounded like it was coming from upstairs…" I said.
"Melody-chan!!" we all said at the same time and ran up to Melody's room. She was on the floor motionless.
"Melody-chan!! Wake up!!" Onee-chan said running to her side.
"Call an ambulance!" Rin said with tears welling up in her eyes.
"No, She's still breathing." Onee-chan said. "Len, put her on her bed and Rin go get a towel."
"Right!" We both said and did what She said.
Melody's P.O.V
I opened my eyes and I was in my bed.
"Oww, my head!" I looked over and Kaito was sitting next to me eating a bowl of ice cream.
"Oh, you're awake!" He said
"Yeah… what happened?" I asked rubbing my head.
"That's what we would like to know. Meiko said you had a minor head bump, but you did fracture your leg." He said. "What exactly were you doing?"
"Well...I was trying to do the dance you guys were rehearsing. And you know that part where Onee-chan goes on the second stage part? " I said. Kaito nodded his head.
"Well I tried that on the window, but I slipped and fell." I explained.
"Well of course that was going to happen!" He said. "This is why there are somethings you just can't do. You're too little." …Little?
"I mean, you're practically a baby!" He said. That made me really mad!
"Baby?! I'm not a baby!!! Just get out Kaito! You're so stupid! Baka!" I tried to reach over and hit him, but He dodged I just ended up tumbling to the floor. He tried to help me up but I didn't want him to.
"Let go of me, Baka! I can do it myself!"I yelled at him. Just then Onee-chan and Rin walked in.
"Kaito! What are you doing?" Onee-chan asked while she ran to pick me up and she carefully put me on the bed.
"What did you do?" Rin yelled at Kaito.
"Nothing." I said in his defense. "He was just trying to help. I'm sorry."
"It's okay." He said.
"Can I just be alone with Onee-chan please? Just for a little while." I said
"Sure" Rin and Kaito said and then they left.
"Are you guys still going to do the concert?" I asked.
"Yeah, tickets sold out so quickly. We can't let our fans down." She said
"Oh" was all I said. Don't get me wrong, I was glad they were doing the concert, I was just a little disappointed she wasn't going to stay with me. We watched TV until Rin and Len came back. She let me play her PSP and Miku's Project Diva game. It was cool that everyone was in the game, but it kinda made me sad. I felt a little selfish and complainy, but I didn't care. I ended up falling asleep when Len was trying to tell a story.
When I woke up I was all alone. In my room, by myself.
I looked at my bedside table and it was a piece of carrot cake and a note.
'Dear Melody-chan,
Sorry we had to leave, but we had to go to our concert. We'll come straight home. Turn on the TV if you want to watch!
Sayonara!! ~Miku! Kaito. Rin \(^o^)/ and Len
Ps. I got you the cake!-Rin
I used the remote to turn on the TV and there they were. They sang a lot of songs too. Luka was the announcer.
"Hey everyone! I hope you're all enjoying the concert so far. We have one last performance with special guests, Enjoy!" She said then walked off the stage. Then they did the dance I was trying to do. They looked so cool! And when it was over they all walked out on the stage and took a bow. Then it was a big firework explosion and they were all holding a banner that said 'Get well soon, Melody-chan!' it made me so happy I almost choked on my cake! Then it cut to commercial. I turned the TV off and fell asleep.
The next day, they took me to see a doctor. The doctor said it could be up to a month before my leg could heal.
But it healed in only 1 week. Today, nobody felt like cooking, so we went out to eat. I barely ate, though.
"What's wrong?" Luka asked.
"Nothing, just a little tired." I said. When we got home, I started walking to my room.
"We were gonna watch a movie. Do you wanna watch?" Onee-chan asked.
"No." I said and went to my room.
It felt great to be back in my room, but for some reason I felt…out of place. The next days were so dull. I felt empty and I never ate a lot of my meals. What was happening to me? Why am I like this? I haven't smiled in days… One day, I felt suffocated. I walked downstairs and I didn't see anyone. I put on my shoes and decided to take a walk. I left as quietly as I could. For some reason, I wanted to cry. The tears started flowing and I started to run. I couldn't stand feeling like this! It was the worst! I bumped into someone.
"Oh, sorry! Excu-" I said then I felt familiar hands help me up.
"Nee, nee! What's wrong?" It was Teto! I started to cry again. Teto and I sat on a bench and I just cried into her shirt.
"Just tell me what's wrong" She said. I honestly didn't know what to say. Then I just blurted out
"I wanna go home!!" She jumped a little.
"Why? Don't you want to become a good singer?" she said
"Yes, I do, but I miss you guys! I'm so lonely there! It's like they don't even care!" I cried.
"Of course they care!" Teto said
"No they don't! They don't let me sing with them in the studio or let me perform at all!! I don't wanna go back! I hate it there!" I said. I knew some of it was a little too much, but I didn't care.
"Well, I know Miku-san cares." She said sitting me upright.
"How do you know?" I asked. And she pointed her finger to the opposite direction. I looked up and there was Onee-chan. She had tears in her eyes.
"Onee-ch-" I tried to call her, but she ran off. I felt even worse than before. Teto and I sat on the bench for what seemed like forever. She even took me out to eat, but I wasn't hungry. Later she took me home.
"I-I'm home" I called out. Rin and Len ran up to me.
"Oh you're safe! We were all so worried!" Rin said.
"She ran into me when I was out on some errands." Teto said.
"We got a little scared when Onee-chan ran in here crying." Len said to Teto.
"Where is she?" I asked them.
"She went into her room" Rin said I started to run towards the stairs.
"She won't come out. She hit Kaito with a book when he tried talk to her." Len said. I froze where I was.
"It's all my fault…" I said. They all looked at me.
"She's this way…because of me…" I turned and faked smiled to everyone.
"Thanks for taking me Teto! Ah, I'm a little tired I think I'll just go to bed." I said then I ran to my room. I sat on my bed and hugged my knees. I looked over and saw a picture of me and Onee-chan on my desk. I walked over and turned it face down. I layed on my bed and stared out the window. The stars looked so pretty…
The sunlight forced my eyes open.
I didn't even know I fell asleep. I wasn't even in my pajamas. I heard some noise in the kitchen, so I went to see if it was Onee-chan. I looked around the corner.
"Ohayou! Breakfast will be ready in a little while, okay?" Rin said. I nodded my head, then she went back to cook. I started back up the stairs and when I looked up Onee-chan was there. She had the saddest look in her eyes. She turned to walk back to her room. I ran up to her and gave her a hug.
"I'm sorry Onee-chan!! I didn't mean it! Do you forgive me?" I cried
"…" she didn't say anything. I looked up. Then she slowly turned around
"Of course I do!!" she said and hugged me back. She was crying, and I started to cry.
I opened my eyes and Rin was at the bottom of the stairs. She was smiling then she went back into the kitchen.
So I was worried about nothing. I was where I was supossed to be!
