In all honesty I'm still debating on whether to put pairings into this story because pairs can change the story quite a bit. I dunno, what do you guys think? You can go ahead and recommend a few ships (I'll accept hetero, BL/yaoi, and GL/yuri) if you really want some pairs in this story.

Anyways, the second chapter won't be updated until the current poll on my profile page ends... which I can't tell when =w="


To say today was the same as the other days was an understatement. Well, to be more exact, it started like any other day for Len: painfully watching his "friends" pick on another victim who just so happened to be Miki.

Yes, another tripping "joke" which led to the poor red haired girl hitting her head on the corner of his desk and falling to the floor. Miki slowly sat up as red dripped down her forehead along with tears down her cheeks.

Len wanted to help the poor girl back up, but that would lead to another beating from Rin, so all he could do was watch her sniffle and hold her bleeding head. Cowardly? Yes, he knew that, but trying to stand up to Rin was like asking to be called a masochist.

"MIKI!" Iroha ran over to her friend's side, then turned her head to glare at the same person who tripped her: Miku.

"What was THAT for?! All she was trying to do was get a mop to clean up the juice I spilled!" Iroha yelled angrily.

"Shouldn't the kids from the AH-Software group stay away from the Crypton group? She was basically asking to be tripped," Miku smirked.

"And shouldn't you know that Hiyama-sensei is on the AH-Software group's side?" Iroha rolled her eyes.

Dang it Miku, we have to stay in for lunch again... Len sighed.

"Come on Miki, let's get you to the nurse," Iroha helped Miki up.

I remembered when Crypton and AH-Software were at least frenemies... Len sighs yet again.

Maybe no one realized it yet, but when Iroha opened the door Len got the change he and maybe a few others wanted.

A girl with long beige hair that was pale enough to be considered white came running and probably didn't realize the door had opened until she went crashing into- well- the wall.

"Uam soirree uam latez," she said dizzily as she got up and wobbled a bit.

"W-Who...?" Len sweated at her "grand" appearance.

She shook her head to get rid of the headache and saluted, "I am Aria Planetes! IA is fine though!"

"IA, that's the closet," Len sweated more since IA was saluting the closet.

"Len! Don't socialize with her! We don't want idiots in the Crypton group!" Rin yelled.

"Then why's that senior Kaito in our group?"

"Because he's always around Meiko!"

"You have terrible reasoning," Len sighed and when he turned back to where IA was supposed to be it turned out IA was right behind Len.

"Wah!" Len almost fell out of his chair as he backed away from her.

"You sigh too much," IA said, backing up a bit too.

"No duh Sherlock," another sigh.

. . .

"A-Are you gonna keep staring at me or what?" Len awkwardly asked, seeing how the girl was extremely stoic face-wise but extremely odd personality-wise.

"Name?" IA asked, seemingly unfazed.

"Len Kagamine," Len simply said.

"Note: Len Kagamine is extremely sigh-y and sarcastic-"

"What are you, a robot?"

"Also wimpy."

"EH?!" Len jolted and couldn't help but feel his self-esteem collapse a bit.

"You didn't help the girl with the ahoge," IA said, which made Len go rigid.

"W-What are you talking about?" Len muttered.

"There's blood on you're desk," IA pointed to the small blotch of blood on the corner of his desk, "Besides, I could tell you wanted to help her."

To say Len was shocked was another understatement. No one has ever noticed and pointed out what it seemed like Len wanted to do because they probably thought that he was just as cruel and heartless as the alphas of Crypton.

"Hey, are you just going to keep talking to a member of the Crypton group or are you going to wait for that Hiyama dude?" Miku asked impatiently.

"'Crypton group'?" IA asked.

"Right, you're a newbie. I don't know if you've noticed but the students here are divided into groups and Crypton just so happens to be the biggest group here, and we don't except weirdos like you," Miku said.

Why you ask is Crypton the biggest group if Miku, Rin, and (later you will see) Meiko are basically bullies? Simple: if you joined their group you are least likely to be picked on by them, except, that wasn't Len's reason. He was simply forced to be stuck in the Crypton group by Rin.

"It's okay, I'll make my own group," IA simply said.

"...Eh?" the three blinked, surprised that she didn't seem intimidated, scared, annoyed, hurt- you know- the usual facial expressions they get from the other students.

IA then grabbed Len by the arm, causing him to rise up a bit from his seat, "And Len's going to help me establish it!"

"HAH?!" Len yelled.

Rin rose from her desk and slammed her hands on it, "Hold on a minute! I don't know what planet you're from-"

"I'm from the Planetes family line," IA simply said, which obviously irked Rin more.

"BUT, you can't force someone into your group! ESPECIALLY Len!" Rin yelled.

"Well it just happened," IA smiled.

"W-Wha...?!" well this was a first, "the Great" Miku and Rin bested and made speechless by the same "newbie" who ran into a wall and saluted a closet.

"Don't worry Len! I'll take good care of you!" IA said while clasping both of his hands.

"I DON'T WANT YOU TO!" Len sweated.

Yep, Len could tell that his life is now taking a turn and crashed into the oddest person in the world.
