WARNING NOTE: This chapter is extremely rushed.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Vocaloid!
Rin tapped her finger against the table. She was sitting in her huge living room. She was...a princess, you could call her, but her parents were mostly out for business so she only saw them once in two months. Or even less than that.
She had two maids: Miku and Miki. Miku was VR1, being a robot. Miki was SF-A2, also being a robot. She didn't have anyone else.
Then a dangerous idea came to her.
"VR1!" Rin never called them by their real names. "Come here this instant!"
Miku looked up from her book and walked over. They weren't dressed as maids, but were allowed to wear anything they wanted to, and Miku seemed quite teal-ish that day. "Yes, Rin-sama?"
The blonde smiled. "I was thinking," she said, "if I could make another robot."
At that, Miku flinched. "What did you say, Rin-sama?" she asked, trying to stay calm.
"You two are brilliant maids. Kind, polite, pretty and talented. Patient, too. Calm, and all those good things. You are wonderful," Rin said. "However, even though we are friends, we aren't meant to be friends. You weren't made to, neither was SF-A2. Therefore, I want to create a robot that is made to be my friend. I can't be lonely like this forever. Whatever it cost, I'll make it."
Miku looked at Rin carefully. She sighed. "Of course, Rin-sama. We'll make it; all three of us."
Three months later, he was completed.
A blonde, like Rin. He certainly looked like Rin, and the princess could only smile at her work.
"You are VR2: Len," she told him, spinning on her heel. "Come on VR2, I want to show you this place around; and want you'll be doing in order to help me. Understand, VR2?"
Len looked at his master. "Um...Rin-sama! I have a request!" he said. "Please don't call me 'VR2'...call me my real name, 'Len'!"
Such an easy request, yet so hard.
Rin turned to him, furious. "VR2. I am your master, you should know, so keep quiet and do not complain. Come on, VR2, come with me."
And Len looked closed to tears. "Rin-sama! Come on...don't be like that..."
Miki realized Rin's error and tiptoed to her ear and said, "Rin-sama! That isn't the way you should treat friends..." Rin gulped. "Just call him 'Len'! It's the first step in having a friend!"
'So calling someone their name...is the first step for making them your friend?' Rin asked herself.
"Fine...Len..." Rin winced as she said his name. She had never called anyone by their name before, and everyone at her school hated her, she didn't want them to be her friend... "Len, come on. Come with me."
Len finally smiled. "Yes Rin-sama! But Rin-sama may be a bit too long, don't you think?"
'Maybe...just allowing him to call me "Rin" is also...being a friend?' Rin wondered to herself.
"Why isn't it...? Why don't you just call me 'Rin', then?" she suggested, a faint smile forming on her lips. "After all...you are supposed to be my friend, right?" She giggled.
Len nodded excitedly. "Okay, Rin!"
As the two blondes skipped off, the other two maid robots watched them run. But one of them felt a stab of jealousy.
"Rin~ Let's go to the park~" Len sang. "It's kinda boring in here~"
Rin glared at him. 'What the? What's with this carefree act of his? Just going wherever he wants as if HE'S the princess...which he's not...I didn't design him that way, did I?'
All the same, the princess sighed. "Of course. Len."
Miku watched the two talk. Watch the two play. She felt extremely jealous, it wasn't fair. He could call her anything he wanted, make her call him his real name, yet it never did happen for the other two robots. That's when she began to think.
'What makes him and me different? Why does Rin-sama treat him differently? Why is he so popular? Why can't we be like him? What makes it so that he doesn't have to do a single thing? Why does Rin treat him nicely?'
"Rin-sama! Dinner is ready!" Miku said cheerfully.
Len stared at her. "Who's this? Some teal pig?" He laughed. "Ugly. Pig."
Rin laughed too. "Right, she's an ugly pig."
"You two are brilliant maids. Kind, polite, pretty and talented. Patient, too. Calm, and all those good things. You are wonderful." Miku's jaw dropped. LIAR. LIAR!
Who was he to have the right to call her an ugly teal pig?
"Rin-sama!" she cried, annoyed. "Why do you agree with him?"
"Why can't I?"
Miku looked at her master. "Don't talk to me!" she yelled, running up to her room.
Rin glared after her. "Don't talk to me like that! I have every right to kick you out!" she screamed back.
"Um...may I go to my room?" Len asked, standing up.
"Yes, of course Len."
He left.
And Miki stared.
"Rin...sama..." she said slowly. "That wasn't very nice to Miku. I know you're trying to be Len's friend, but you really did hurt Miku's feelings..." Miki turned her head. "And it still wasn't very nice to agree with Len."
Rin glared at her maid robot. "You too. Out. Get in your room. Now. No complaints."
"Now that's not fair!" Miki stomped her foot. "And dinner is ready. Get that stupid blonde perverted friend of your down here and eat. And Miku and I aren't eating. After all, you don't care for us."
Miku was preparing dessert.
And Rin came down.
"Good to see you in a normal mode, huh, VR1?" Rin said calmly. "Anyways, what are you making for dessert?"
Miku held back the urge to scream 'BITCH!' in Rin's face. "Orange, leek and cherry pudding," she replied, not meeting her master's eyes. "And I'm sorry for yesterday, Rin-sama. I was just not myself. I was..."
"Don't make any excuse. Now, get rid of the leek and cherry pudding. Make banana instead," Rin said simply.
"Is it for VR2?"
"Len. Yes."
"Rin-sama? Why can't I be your friend? I've been with you for my entire life, so have you. I do not get it. Why must you build an entirely new...robot?" Miku questioned. "You didn't have to go through all the trouble. Miki and I have been for you, always. Are we not good enough?"
Rin breathed. "It's not that, VR1. You are the best thing in the whole world...but...but...I can't have a maid as my friend."
Miku grabbed a banana. "Why not?"
There was silence for a bit. "Because Father says not to. And I have to listen to Father. I cannot be friends with you. That is what he told me. Otherwise, he would be very angry..." Rin hung her head. "Otherwise, I would become friends with you."
Miku's eyes widened. "When did he tell you? Why didn't he tell us?"
"I don't know..." Rin whispered quietly. "I don't even know why he doesn't want you as my friend, VR1..."
"Wouldn't he be much angrier if you built another robot?"
"He... Even if he would be, I won't allow him to uninstall Len," Rin said stiffly. "He's a precious friend of mine; I'm sure Father can understand that. All I have ever wanted is a friend, and a friend, and that's all. Len is treating me very nicely, so I have no complaints."
Miku sighed inwardly. "Yes...Rin-sama."
