Another day at Internet Co. had passed.

As usual, GUMI and Gakupo got the bulk of the song requests; mainly covers, with the odd original song and duet popping up.

Lily wasn't all that bad off either, getting quite a few requests herself.

Unfortunately, Galaco couldn't join them, as it was her turn to babysit Ryuto.

Everyone was as busy as ever singing for the weekly "Let's Sing!" event.

Well, almost everyone…

There they were: the Internet Co. VOCALOIDs.

Far above the ground.

Far above her.

She ran, and ran, and ran, but she couldn't quite reach them.

Just when she thought she had reached them, they were higher up.

With her idol: MEIKO.

"Wait!" she cried, trying to catch up in vain. "WAIT FOR ME!"

"Hey, you OK there sis?"

CUL snapped out of her daze at the sound of her brother's voice, mentally cursing herself.

"Of course I'm fine!" she huffed, not sounding very convincing.

Rev sighed. This always seemed to happen on "Let's Sing!" day.

It was strange, considering as children, CUL had always wanted a voicebank like the then-singing sensation MEIKO. When Rev asked her why, she would always sign, "So I can express myself through song."

Rev could remember the excitement on her face the day CUL found out she was going to receive a voicebank as if it were only the day before (but that, my friends, is a story for another day).

"This has nothing to do with never getting any song requests," CUL suddenly said, "if that's what you're thinking."

He frowned. She always said that, but considering her pride, he knew she was hurt that no-one seemed to care about her voice.

He opened his mouth to suggest something, but CUL raised her hand and shook her head.

"Not this time," she said. "I don't feel like singing right now."

Rev looked concerned for his sister, but decided against protesting and gave a nod of acknowledgement.

Best not to bother her during these moments, he thought as they went their separate ways.

Kokone sighed for about the hundredth time that day.

It was hopeless. She had followed the directions as best as she could, but to no avail.

She still hadn't found the Internet Co. HQ.

She had to get there though, and not because of the "Let's Sing!" event. (That probably ended hours ago.)

No she had to get there for Valentine's Day:

The day of romance; the day of flowers and chocolates.

The day Kokone would make her official public debut as a VOCALOID.

This was a great honour for her, because after years of making symbols with her hand to communicate, she could talk properly.

And sing properly.

It was for this reason and this reason only that Kokone was looking forward to Valentine's Day that year. (She is still single, after all.)

Now if someone could help me get to the damn building!she thought irritatedly, marching her way through the park.

Suddenly Kokone stopped.

She heard a voice singing.

Ai suru ano hito no tame ni,

Negai to hikikae ni

Keikyaku shite te ni ireta chikara

The voice was somewhat nasal and a tad bit high for her tastes, but it seemed to fit the song well so she didn't complain.

Kono machi no heiwa wa,

Kono watashi ga mamoru yo

Shoujo wa sou mujaki no hohoenda

(The song made Kokone think of Sayaka Miki for some reason. She did say she wanted to protect the city. Maybe this person felt the same way?)

Sayonara, ai suru anata

Higeki no genjitsu

The emotion was apparent in her voice, and Kokone wondered in awe, just who's voice is it?

Konna hazu ja nakatta noni

Hiki kaesenai

Zetsubou no umi ni shizunde yuku

Being the curious girl she was, she followed the voice, hoping that she would help her get to Internet Co.

Hello! This is my first VOCALOID fanfiction and my first piece after a long hiatus. I hope you all enjoyed this.
