Well, this is the first chapter of a story that is hopefully better than the last. I haven't finished the whole entire story yet, but I have it planned out and hopefully it will get finished.

Name: Hatsune Miku. Searching...no errors found. Opening: Hatsune Miku. Status: Activated.

"Welcome, Miku. You've been successfully created."

Hatsune Miku opened her eyes, which were a beautiful shade of turquoise, perfectly matching her hair. She looked around, and, seeing no one, took a step forward. She was in a white room, with a single door. She went to the door and turned the knob, finding it was unlocked. She didn't know how she knew what to do, but she just did.

Walking through the door, she continued on through a hallway, the only option, until being stopped by a strong hand. Looking to her right, she realized who had stopped her: a smiling lady with short brown hair. Clueless of what to do next, Miku stood waiting for instruction, as she was seemingly programmed to do.

"Hi Miku! I'm Meiko, the leader of the Vocaloid and Utauloid Education Program. You are a Vocaloid, a robot programmed with a beautiful voice, with which you will sing songs your masters write for you. You'll learn more in this school, but first I want to show you where you will stay, which is also where your master will have access to you."

Miku, still silent, followed Meiko through many hallways and doors, until she came to a certain door. "Now please sing 'ah' at middle C." Miku, having been programmed with an automatic vocal and musical talent, immediately obeyed the command. The door opened and Meiko showed Miku around a little room.

"This is where you'll stay, OK? Don't worry about finding your way back, it'll be automatically programmed into your system from now on. Just sing that note to gain entrance to your new home. Also, don't let these things I'm saying about you being programmed make you think you're some kind of puppet. You're a unique and talented girl with a personality, Miku, advanced in some ways and held back in others. People will love you no matter what."

Miku waited for Meiko to leave, and then tested her voice again. "Ah," she sang. "Ah, ah, ah." She giggled. Then she frowned. She knew her voice sounded the same every time, and it was boring. However, she couldn't figure out how to change it. Distracted by a piece of paper stuck to her wall, she walked forward to read it.

"Report back to 'Origin' tomorrow at 10:00 am." Her eyes wandered down the page until she saw a map. After studying it, she found that the place she was supposed to go to was the same room she woke up in. She decided to see if her programming was visual, and to her delight she could turn away and remember all the places on the map.

Further down on the wall, under the paper, was a clock. The current time was 8:37 pm. With nothing else to do, she explored the room. Turning away from the wall, directly across from her, was a large curtain covering the whole wall. She ran across to it and dragged it to one side. After she had done so, her mouth fell open in shock. Moonlight illuminated the room through the window that took up the entire wall, and Miku tried to take in every detail she was seeing outside. Farthest to the right in the distance was a small pond bordered by a green field, which turned into an orchard, which was the edge of a little town.

Finally satisfied with the view, Miku turned back around and looked to her right. There was a bed with sheets that matched her hair, made up neatly with four pillows standing proudly at the head. Miku's eyes widened and she took a running leap into the bed. She rolled around, messing up the sheets, laughing all the while. Flat on her back, she opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling. It was painted white. "Kind of boring," she thought.

She rolled off her bed and stood up on the side closest to the door, and found herself face to face with a wall. The wall only extended to the foot of her bed, so she curiously went around it and found a couch sitting next to a little table in a carpeted area. Uninterested, she went to her door and pressed her back to it, staring at the window on the other side of her room.

She suddenly remembered the clock and checked the time. It was still only 9:12 pm. Annoyed, she narrowed her eyes at the clock and willed it to go faster. She wanted to know what else there was to explore. However, she understood that would have to wait. She went back to her bed and lay down. Realizing the effect of sleep, she closed her eyes and dozed off immediately.

The following morning, Miku rubbed her eyes, the newly risen sun having woken her up. She made a mental note to close the curtains next time, and checked the clock eagerly. She frowned, seeing that it was only 6:08 am. "Ah!" she screamed in annoyance. Then she smiled abruptly. She had figured out how to reach another pitch, and was proud of it. She alternated between the two pitches, experimenting with the length and sound. "Ah, ah! Ah, ah, ah! Ah! Ah! Aaaaah!" she giggled some more, then realized her laughter was at a different pitch too. Delighted, she spent the next three and half hours listening to herself sing those three different notes in different combinations.

With ten minutes until she was due to be at the Origin, Miku jumped up and ran out the door. Slowing down to be cautious, she walked by memory to where she was supposed to go. Meiko was waiting for her there, and there were two others with her.

"Hey, I'd like you to meet some Utauloids," said Meiko, indicating the two girls next to her. "This is Momone Momo," she said, putting her hand on the shoulder of a cute pink-haired girl with a short white and green dress on. The girl smiled, twisting to one side shyly. Meiko put her other hand on the other girl's shoulder. "This is Nagone Mako," she said, and the girl with pretty black hair gave Miku a small smile.

"These girls are new, just like you. You're all going to go through some classes to prepare you for your career, which is singing. You'll learn how to sing as well as your relationship to your masters and other people. Please go through this next door over here for your first class," Meiko finished, pointing to a door on the right.

The three girls walked through it and found themselves in a room with a piano and walls painted red. A really young looking girl drew their attention and introduced herself in a high, sing-song voice as Kasane Teto. As she bounded over towards the piano, her red hair with drill locks on both sides bounced up and down. She was about to sit down, but seemed to change her mind.

Teto introduced the lesson, "Today you'll be adjusting to your voices. You may have wondered why you weren't programmed with the immediate ability to sing, and we do have a reason. It's because we want your voice to develop along with your personality. Vocaloids and Utauloids have a tendency to laugh before they sing or talk, so you may already have an idea of what your pitch is. Extreme emotion also may cause you to use your voice."

Teto paused and then sat down at the piano. She played a note on the piano and copied it with her voice. "That's middle C," she said. "Everyone here is asked to sing that upon their arrival to open their door. Believe it or not, the more and more you open your door, the more and more your room will get a feel for your personality and transform to accompany it. So be careful what your tone is when you open your door," she warned.

Teto proceeded to play every note on the piano steadily, accompanying with her voice when she played within her range. She told the girls to take turns finding their range by allowing the piano to tell them what to sing. When Miku sat down, she began playing at the lowest note. She found her range and sang when she felt commanded by the piano. When she finished Teto nodded and smiled.

"It's just about where I am," she beamed. After the other girls had finished finding their ranges, Teto began teaching them sounds. They spent the next few hours learning sounds, words, speaking, tones, harmonies, melodies, and how to sing with a personality. Most of it came naturally, it just took someone with experience to awaken their abilities. Miku couldn't decide exactly what her personality was, but she guessed it would show through by itself eventually.

Seemingly all too soon, Teto checked the time and said it was time for them to return to their rooms. They filed back out into the hallway and met Meiko once again. "Does she always stay here?" Miku wondered. Meiko told the girls they could go back to their rooms, but then told Miku to stay. Worried she was in trouble, Miku stared at the floor.

Unaware of Miku's nervousness, Meiko cheerfully began talking. "OK Miku, there was an odd number of Vocaloids and Utauloids yesterday, so you didn't get a roommate. Everyone has one, so you can help each other practice and just have a close friend. However, your roommate, or should I say roommates, sort of came as a package," Meiko said, grinning. She motioned to two short Vocaloids, who stepped forward smiling.

They were identical, except for the fact that one was a boy and one was a girl. Both had short blond hair; the boy's was in a little ponytail and the girl's hung down to just below her chin, her bangs restrained with little white clips while a white bow sat on top of her head. They smiled at Miku, their blue-green eyes lighting up.

"Remember, they can't talk yet," Meiko reminded Miku, "so don't expect to get to know them get. Just make them feel at home in your room." With that, Meiko walked off and left the new vocaloids staring at Miku. Miku was about to tell them to come with her when she remembered she didn't know their names. She called after Meiko, who was unfortunately out of hearing range. Miku shrugged and decided to give them temporary names. "OK, you're Right," she said, pointing to the girl, "And you're Left," she said as she shifted her indication to the boy.

Right and Left giggled. Miku scolded herself for not being more creative. "Ah, whatever. Just follow me," she instructed. She turned and walked to her room, the twins following right on her heels the whole time.

"OK, I'm not sure how it's done when there are more than two people in the room, but I guess we all say 'ah' at the same time. So, in that case on the count of three we're all going to sing 'ah' at middle C. Got it?" Miku paused to look at the twins. They were nodding their heads vigorously. They were so cute and immature. "Or am I just suddenly mature because I was put in charge?" Miku remembered bouncing on the bed and singing for three hours straight. "Yeah, I was immature too." She smiled to herself.

"OK, one, two, three!"

"Ah," the three voices sang. Miku was surprised at how nice it sounded. She laughed to herself at the fact that the twins sounded alike too. Either Right had a manly voice, or Left had a girly voice. She smiled, guessing it was the latter. "After all, they do look young." Miku opened the door and they went inside. Immediately, she noticed something was different. Where the carpeted area with the couch and table had been, there were now two beds with yellow sheets. The couch and table were now in between the large window and Miku's bed.

The twins, both mesmerized by the window as Miku had been, rushed over to it and stared. Miku walked over too, looking at the setting sun. She tapped the twins on the shoulder and told them to read the note on the wall. Pulling their gazes from the window, they reluctantly went to the opposite wall and read the note. Left glanced at his sister as if he were confused, and she smiled at him then pointed at the clock. It was easy to see who seemed to be a little bit smarter.

Miku too looked at the clock and saw that it was only 7:00 pm. So she lay in her bed and stared at the ceiling, wondering what to do. Suddenly, the two twins leaped into her bed, bouncing her up into the air where she screamed and came back down, landing half on her side. Right and Left laughed hysterically at her reaction. Annoyed, she told them to go to bed. They looked at her with half smiles, still wanting to jump on the bed.

Suddenly Miku's immature side came back and her stern expression was replaced by a smile. "OK, one, two, three!" The three jumped, Right and Left also singing 'ah' like when they opened the door. Miku started laughing and counted again. They repeated this over and over until none of them could continue from exhaustion. They just lay there laughing, enjoying the beginning of a friendship.

"One, two, three!" Right shouted.

Left copied her, "One, two, three!"

"Ah!" They both sang at the same time. They continued laughing but Miku stopped for a moment. She was confused. Meiko had said that they wouldn't be able to talk yet. Miku shrugged to herself and glanced at the clock. Seeing that it was late, she told the twins to go to their bed and close their eyes. They obeyed, but she could still hear them whisper 'one, two, three!' over and over. She rolled her eyes and smiled as she drifted off to sleep.

In the morning, Miku was again awakened by the sun shining into her eyes. "For a programmed robot, I'm not really good at remembering stuff like this," she mumbled sleepily. She yanked the curtains closed and went to check on the twins. They were still fast asleep, so she tiptoed past them and looked at the clock. "9:55!" Miku shouted in a panicked voice. Just to make sure, she checked the paper on the wall. It still said 10:00 am. Miku ran to the twins and shook them awake, and told them they needed to get up and get going.

The three trotted down the hall; Miku was the leader, then came Right, and then followed Left. Meiko was there to meet them, and was about to instruct Right and Left into the next room when Miku interrupted her. "Meiko, you never told me the twins' names," she said quickly.

"Oh, right. The girl is Rin, and the boy is Len." She started to tell the twins to go into the next room for the second time. Yet again, Miku interrupted her.

"And, you said they wouldn't be able to talk. But they copied me. I said 'one, two, three,' and they copied me."

"Well, that is interesting," Meiko said with a thoughtful look. "Vocaloids and Utauloids are a relatively new type of people, so nothing is really a well-tested fact yet. So I want to try something. Will you please teach them everything you learned yesterday? All you were supposed to do today, Miku, was pick out your character item. As a singer, you really should have an object with which to identify you," Meiko decided.

"OK, so you want me to go back to my room with Right and- I mean Rin and Len, and teach them what I know about voices?"

"Yes, I think it might be a good idea to let them learn from someone they feel close to, and it will help you learn how to teach, which may be important as we recruit more singers. Also, be back here by yourself at 6:00, OK?" Meiko smiled, and Miku took that as her dismissal.
