"Miku, are you free tonight? I was thinking we could go paint our nails or something." Luka said at lunch. Miku bit into her leek.

"Well, I'm kinda busy tonight." Miku said.

"You're never busy." Luka replied.

"Um. I am now. Homework and stuff." Miku explained, chewing unusually quickly on her leek. Or is it a spring onion? Nobody really knows.

"You always do your homework last minute." Luka answered.

"Uh-" Miku began. Luka raised her hand to silence her.

"I understand. You do this every month... It's weird. I think it's the same day every month, too." Luka said. Miku choked on her leek.

"E-every month? W-w-what... are you talking about?" She said while struggling to get her leek out of her throat. She was choking on it. Suddenly, Meiko sat down next to the two.

"Hey! Look at this." Meiko took out a poster from who knows where. It was a bright, colorful poster. It said: Annual Cosplay Convention, today at 6:30-10:00. "Cosplayers are losers, aren't they?" Meiko snickered.

"Yeah. Cosplaying is really stupid. It looks like something a five year old would do." Luka said. Miku choked on her leek harder.

"Len, you free tonight?" A random girl with long hair said.

"Nope! Sorry." Len said.

"Awww! The way he says sorry. It's so cute!" Some random group of girls squealed.

"What are you doing tonight?" The girl with long hair asked. Len shrugged.

"Just... erm... Walking my dog." He said.

"You don't have a dog." The girl with long hair said.

"How can you be sure of that?" Len said.

"Because if you have a dog it would greet you every day when you come home. Run out the door, probably. And whenever I follow you home-" The girl with long hair put her hands over her mouth immediately. "Uh, I mean!" Len laughed, and the group of girls squealed again.

"It's alright, I don't need to know. But you caught me, I don't have a dog." Len said, unpeeling a banana.

"So what you're doing tonight is a secret?" The girl with long hair asked. Len nodded with a smile.

"Yep." He put a finger to his lips. "Secret that only I know." The girls squealed again.

"This again. Secret why you're busy! You do this like... every month! The same day every month, I think!" The girl with long hair said. She turned around to the group of girls that were squealing. "What do you think he's doing tonight?"

"Sleeping really early?"

"Going on a date?"

"Hey, I heard there's a cosplay convention today. Maybe he's going there tonight!"

The girl with long hair burst out laughing. "Cosplayers are losers! Len wouldn't go to something like that." She said. The other girls nodded in agreement, and Len choked on his banana.

"Mikuo! I'm going to the cosplay convention now!" Miku said. She wasn't cosplaying anyone, as usual. Costumes cost too much money for her to afford, but that was no matter. She just liked to look at the cosplayers, take pictures with them, etc.

"Again?" Mikuo said from upstairs.

"It's once a month!" Miku said.

"If you say so." Mikuo replied. Miku scowled, and grabbed her CID card. That stood for Cosplay Identification. All cosplayers were required to get one. It has the school you go to, a picture of you, and the name of the character you cosplay most often (if you don't cosplay that's blank). You only had to show it to the guards on the way in. "Bye, Mikuo!" Miku said, and she was out the door.

-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:

"Rin! I'm going to the cosplay convention now!" Len said. Rin was his 10 year old sister. She was the only person Len lived with. Well, his parents... But they were never home. Their jobs required them to travel a lot.

"The place where you dress up? Again?" Rin asked.

"It's a once a month thing, Rinny." Len sighed. He wasn't cosplaying anyone, figured if anyone found out he went to these things, it would be worse if they found out when he was cosplaying Naruto or something.

"Whatever." Rin replied. Len grabbed his CID card and was out the door.

"Taxi!" Miku called. The bright yellow cab pulled up onto the curb, and Miku got in. Miku told the driver the address (which she memorized) and she was off.

"Thanks!" Miku gave the driver some dollars and leaped out. She stared out at the cosplay convention. There were so many people. She inhaled deeply. Miku loved being here, where everyone was like her for a change- all otakus.

She ran through the doors, briefly flashing her CID card. Immediately she began her picture-taking frenzy. She started by taking a picture with Tohru from fruits basket, then Ciel from black butler, then Ash from pokemon. She was going take a picture with Goku from dragon ball when she noticed something. "Uh, sorry. Hold on a sec." Miku said to Goku and ran up to the something she noticed. It looked like... the most popular guy in her school, Len Kagamine, taking a picture with Naruto! "No... way..." She muttered. Then, she smiled to herself. She whipped out her camera and snapped a picture of Len and Naruto. "This is going on Facebook..." She said.

Then, she stopped herself. If she posted this on Facebook wouldn't people wonder what she was doing there? Miku deleted the picture. But seriously, what was this guy doing here? Was he... an otaku?! Miku decided to find out. She started following him.
