Sorry, guys, Ice Mountain is on a halt right now. I feel bad about that, so I decided to post a series of one shots I had lying around. All of these are based on text messages I received these last few months. I am determined to post every single one I have this day as a peace offering hahaha. I'll finish it off with four, but if I get enough requests, I'll reopen it, but you have to give me messages that I can use as a basis, and it's not character strict.; you can request for anyone. These are all Kagamine stories, though^^; Here's the first one^^

Disclaimer: I do not own the Vocaloids, nor the text messages which this one shot is based from

Chapter 1: PROMISE

by Shaariin13

Ding dong! Ding dong!

I looked away from the show I was watching on TV to glance at the door. That's weird, I thought to myself, checking the wall clock. It was already quarter past 11 o'clock. Who'd be visiting me this time of night?

I was alone tonight. My parents, who are both doctors, were out of town for a seminar. The house help had already gone home.

I got up and approached the door. I looked through the peep hole and saw... blonde hair.

Len? I asked myself. Sure enough, my best friend for eight years was indeed outside my door when I opened up.

"Hey, Rin," he smiled at me sheepishly.

"Come in you big oaf," I told him, grinning back. I returned to the living room and switched off the television.

"Let's go up to my room," I said. He nodded. I didn't bother to ask him why he was at my place at this hour. He always did this, so I was used to it. Plus, last time I saw him, it was less than two weeks ago, and I kinda/sorta missed him.

It wasn't long before we were teasing each other, laughing at our jokes and silly stories.

Suddenly, I heard Alice of Human Sacrifice. It was a slightly creepy song, and I don't know what possessed me earlier that evening to make it my ringing tone.

I looked for the device all over my room, but then I remembered that last time I had it with me, I was downstairs, in the living room.

"Fudge," I said. I turned at Len who was sitting on the floor watching me warily. "I left my phone downstairs." I told him. "I'll just get it. Be right back!" I said, turning away.

"Promise you'll come back?" he asked pleadingly like a child.

I giggled. "I promise," I obliged him.

I quickly got out and scrambled down the stairs to the living room. I picked up my still ringing phone and looked at the screen. The caller was-Len's mom? Huh, she must be looking for him.

"Hello, Aunty?" I asked as I answered the device."Why did you call me?" I asked in my most polite tone.

"R-Rin, dear," she sobbed my name. That got my heart pumping.

"Aunty? What is it?" I asked, scared. "What's wrong?" My hand was shaking now.

"L-Len," she gasped. "He's... gone. Dead."

I felt as if someone dumped me a bucket of cold water. Scratch that. Not a bucket. A drum. A drum of freezing water.

Dead? Impossible! He's up in my room-

"He got in a vehicular accident last week and was already in critical condition when he was brought to the hospital," Len's mom narrated. I waited for the rest with bated breath.

"Before he died, he made me promise that I call you before his burial..."

QUESTION: Will you still keep your promise and go back to your room?

While I was typing this, I was shaking my head. "I can't imagine him gone," I thought to myself while listening to 'Your Highness, My Princess'. How can I when I can hear him singing? So vibrant, so... alive (even though technically, he isn't :P). It was sooo weird XD

Oh yes, please review and answer the big question above^^ I want to know what other people would do. Me? Since I'm a large scaredy cat, I'd probably a) faint or b) run the hell out of there! Nyaaa~n! hahahahahaha
