A Vocaloid Carol: Chapter 1: Luki's Ghost
Yep. SO original of me. But, I wanted to do a Christmas fic, okay? And it won't be a total copy from "A Christmas Carol". I'm adding my own details, okay? Well, hope you enjoy, I guess…
DiScLaiMeR: Jessi-chan doesn't own Vocaloid nor the Christmas Carol, so enjoy!
I remembered his frozen body. Such a waste, really. Luki was such a good manager, too. Oh well. Not like I cared anyway. Today was the day I got a record deal, and also got to join a famous band: Vanan'ice. I would also see a old childhood friend. I finished signing my name and I was welcomed to the world of music with open arms. Let's start…
Yozora ni tairin wo
Sakasu sono toki made matte kure
"Saisho kara kimi wo suki de irarete yokatta" nante
Sora ni utaunda
I finished the last few lyrics and went back backstage, leaving roaring fans behind me. As I made my way back, I found my band playing around like fools. Decorating Christmas trees, dancing and singing stupid Christmas songs. Not on my watch…
"HEY! WHO TOLD YOU TO JUST GOOF OFF!"
They all dropped whatever they where doing and looked at me shocked. The only one brave enough to speak was Shion Kaito, "But, Len, It's Christmas Eve! Aren't you excited for tomorrow?"
"Honestly, I'm not. What's the use of wasting time on a stupid holiday?"
"But, Christmas is such a wonderful holiday! I'm looking forward to spending the time with my girlfriend, Luka."
"Gakupo, I don't really care. Now, time to rehearse. Get your instruments, and let's go!"
"REHEARSE?!"
Didn't anybody tell them? Great, now I have to do it… "We're having a Christmas concert tomorrow. Now, get ready and let's rehearse! There's a lot of work to be done!"
Everybody just looked at me with their mouth opened. I can't believe this. "WHAT?!"
"I'm sorry, Len, but I can't be here. I have to pick up my sister, Kaiko, from the train station."
"I can't come either. I promised Rui I'll spend Christmas with her."
"And I promised Luka."
I quickly spotted my childhood friend, Rin, picking up stacks of paper. She's my best friend and personal servant. I'm sure she'll put these people in their place…
"Rin-chan?" She quickly looked up from cleaning and looked at me.
"Yes, Len-san?"
"Explain to these people that we have a concert tomorrow whether they like it or not."
"We have a concert tomorrow?"
She didn't know either?! Whoever does the information here is totally fired! "Yes, we do. Tell them."
"Gomenasai, but I can't come. My parents are coming to town and so is my big brother Rinto from Crypton University. I also have other plans…"
What other plans?! Excuses. I've had it up to here… "Well, fine. Go! Go and enjoy your Christmas break!"
Everybody quickly cheered, but of course, I wasn't done… "And if any of you even bother to come back on the 26, you'll be fired. So I guess I'll see you here tomorrow at 6:30 in the morning?" With that, I left the room and went back to my penthouse.
It was already 12:00 midnight. I finished all my work and Rin made a new song for me called "The First Christmas". Now, I was in the middle of bed trying to get some sleep. Suddenly, I heard strange noises…
...Nah, i must be going crazy. That's when I saw something (Or someone) pink coming this way...
"W-Who are you? What a-are you?"
"Well, if it isn't the little brat? Is this how you say hi to your uncle?"
I quickly looked up from my bed covers to see Uncle Luki. Wait a minute... Wasn't he dead?! "Weren't you dead? What are you doing here?"
"Obviously, I'm a ghost. And I wouldn't have come here if I didn't have a reason..."
"What's the reason?! You have no business here."
"I'll explain. See these chains?" I looked down to see his ankles in chains. Now that I notice, his whole body is wrapped in chains (Except for his head.).
"Yes, what about them?"
"It's from your childhood and from the way you've been doing now. To get rid of these chains, you'll be visited by three ghosts. Christmas Past, Present, and Future. If you have not learned your lesson at the end, I'll be in these chains for eternity."
"And I should care because...?"
"Listen, I'm not here just for me. I'm trying to save you! You need to forget all I've told you and change!"
"Whatever. Can you leave? I need my rest..."
"Fine, but you will be visited by three ghosts. At exactly 1:30, you'll be visited by the first. Good luck."
He left through the walls, probably never to return again. Like I care. He's probably only joking. There's no ghost visiting me at 1:30 in the morning. That crazy old guy...
So, I tried making Len a huge jerk in this chapter, but I don't know if I did it well... What do you guys think? Well, I'll see everyone next chapter, 'kay? (Also, in the beginning, what song was Len singing? It's pretty easy...) Guess who the three ghosts are? You'll find out who the first one is tomorrow.
...maybe...
Also, should I make this RinxLen? If I should, please tell me! I wanted to add some romance here, but now I'm just not sure...
