"Mr. Crypton, are you sure this will work?"
The tall, black haired man impatiently nodded and said, "Of course! We've been working on this project for months. It won't fail."
The scientist frowned and looked at the paper on his clipboard before saying, "But sir, we aren't ready yet. We need more time. The results indica-"
"Dell," Mr. Crypton said, cutting off the scientist in the middle of his sentence. "You created Meiko, Kaito, and Miku. What makes you think this will fail?"
"These are twins, sir. The past projects were a success because we were only focusing on one person, but the result of the twins is unpredictable."
Mr. Crypton stared into the room in front of him, silently thinking about what his top scientist said. Ever since Meiko and Kaito had been first created a few months ago, Mr. Crypton thought that nothing could go wrong with his current project. However, the Kagamine twins were slightly more complicated than the other projects. If the project failed…It wouldn't be good.

Miku Point of View
"One…two…three!" I jumped up and tried to reach the ceiling, but I was a few inches too short. I sighed and sat down on a chair. It would've been easier to give up now.
Meiko walked into the kitchen and said, "Good morning." She sounded a bit tired. It was probably because Master wanted her to record a few extra songs last night.
She yawned and tiredly sat down on the chair across from me. After a few seconds of silence, she asked, "Is something wrong? You aren't talking my ear off like you normally do."
I angrily pouted and said, "Kaito-nii called me short, and I said I wasn't. We made a bet that if I could touch the ceiling, he would give me fifty dollars."
Meiko flatly said, "How do you know he's telling the truth?"
Pointing to the ceiling, I said, "He taped his wallet onto the ceiling."
Meiko looked at the ceiling and sounded a little surprised as she said, "Oh. Why don't you just get a chair and take it? He won't know since he isn't here right now."
I blinked in surprise before saying, "Oh…I didn't think about that before." Mentally, I was hitting myself as I got a chair and got the wallet from the ceiling. I opened it up and pulled out a large wad of money.
"Meiko-nee! Look, look!" I ran over to her and excitedly showed her the money.
She glanced at the money and said, "Miku…that's Monopoly money."
"What! No way!" I looked at the money again and found out that it was Monopoly money.
Meiko just sighed. "Kaito…" she muttered.
Right at that moment, Kaito walked into the kitchen. I turned to glare at him and said, "Kaito! This money is fake!"
Kaito, the blue haired jerk, just grinned at me. "Maybe you should do it without Meiko's help next time," he amusedly said.
I threw the wallet at him and yelled, "You're such a jerk!"
He winked as he said, "I know I am. But I'm a hot jerk."
As mad as I was, I couldn't help but laugh at his comment while Meiko just sighed and smiled.
"Anyway," Kaito said, "Mr. Crypton wants us to see him at the lab. We're supposed to be getting new Vocaloids."
Meiko, who went through this before, just nodded and got out some cereal and milk, but this was new for me.
I excitedly asked, "New Vocaloids? Who are they? How long will it take? How many Vocaloids? What ge-"
"Mr. Crypton will tell us when we arrive there," Kaito said, cutting me off.
"Don't you know anything about them?"
He thought for a few seconds before saying, "They're going to be twins. One boy and one girl. I think they're called the Kagamines."
Impatiently, I tried to pull Kaito's arm and said, "What are we waiting for? Let's go!" Unfortunately, I couldn't move Kaito because he was too fat and heavy.
He chuckled and said, "At least let Meiko eat first. Besides, don't you need to eat?" Effortlessly, he picked me up bridal style and gently placed me down on a chair. "I'll make us some pancakes. You still want some, Meiko?"
Meiko curtly said, "Sure."
I wasn't able to eat a lot throughout breakfast; Instead, I was wondering how my new siblings would be. Would they be kind? Loud? Fun?
After everyone was finally done eating, I ran out the door and yelled, "Come on! Let's go!"

Third Person Point of View
After breakfast, the trio finally arrived at Mr. Crypton's office. Mr. Crypton was at his table, finishing up a crossword puzzle until Miku burst into the office.
Miku stopped in front of Mr. Crypton's desk. She took a moment to catch her breath before saying, "Where are they? The new Vocaloids?"
Mr. Crypton set down his crossword puzzle. He mentally sighed at the fact that he wasn't able to finish the puzzle before they got here, but he considered that irrelevant for now. He asked, "Where are Meiko and Kaito?"
"We're right here," Meiko said as she and Kaito walked into the office.
Mr. Crypton got up and said, "Good. Now, follow me."
He led them to the laboratory where Dell was waiting. When the group arrived, Dell greeted them.
Dell pointed at the room in front of him, which was separated by a thin layer of glass. He said, "Good, you're all here. Everything has been set, and we are prepared to begin. At your word, Mr. Crypton."
Mr. Crypton took a deep breath before saying, "Start."
The moment Dell pushed the button, a bright flash lit up both rooms. The group was temporary blinded by the light, but it eventually went away. The whole process only took a few seconds.
Dell rubbed his eyes and said, "That's it. It should be finished."
Meiko sounded unsure as she said, "Was that supposed to happen? It didn't happen when Miku was created."
Dell shrugged, not sure if it was supposed to happen or not. "I'm assuming that it needed a much larger amount of power to create two Voaloids rather than one. With some luck, everything went well."
Mr. Crypton walked away from the group and went into the other room. No one moved, waiting to see whether the project was a success or not. Even the normally hyper Miku stood still as she nervously watched Mr. Crypton.
Finally, after a few, tense seconds, two figures rose up from two capsules in the room. Mr. Crypton waited as the two figures got up and looked around the room, seeming somewhat disoriented.
Mr. Crypton said something, although the group couldn't hear, and the two figures turned to look at him. They unsteadily walked over to Mr. Crypton. After some talking, the three left the room and came out.
Mr. Crypton proudly said, "Everyone, I'd like you to meet the newest addition to our family. Meet Len and Rin Kagamine."
The female twin shyly stepped forward and quietly said, "I'm Kagamine, Rin. It's nice to meet you all."
Unfortunately for the female Kagamine, Miku ran out and literally jumped on top of her as she hugged her. Rin almost fell and lost her balance, but she barely managed to stay up. Miku happily said, "Ooooh! You're so cute! I'm Hatsune Miku, but you can call me Miku-nee and we're going to have so much fun and…" By the time Rin had recovered from the sudden hug, Miku was already guiding her out of the room.
The room was oddly quiet after Miku left until Mr. Crypton said, "…Right. And everyone, this is Len Kagamine." The blonde twin did a short bow before nervously taking a step closer to Mr. Crypton.
Meiko softly said, "Hello, Len. You don't have to be nervous. I'm Meiko, and this," she said as she pointed to Kaito, "is Kaito." Kaito smiled and waved at Len.
Len took a hesitant step forward, but quickly took a step back. Mr. Crypton lightly patted the boy's shoulder and said, "There's no need to worry, Len. Anyways, let's go out and celebrate!"
For the first time, Len spoke. "Celebrate what?" he quietly said.
Mr. Crypton look surprised as he said, "Your birthday, of course. Yours and Rin's. Now, let's go!" The group left the room, discussing where they should go to celebrate.
Before Dell left, he looked into the other room, thinking about what happened. The flash wasn't natural. Something must've caused it. He considered going back into the room to check, but Mr. Crypton called his name. He sighed and decided that he would check tomorrow. He turned off he lights and left the room, not bothering to investigate the cause of the flash.
Had Dell stayed and checked, he would've noticed the two figures as they rose up from the same capsule Len and Rin were in.
The two figures stood up straight as their yellow eyes glowed in the darkness.
In unison, they said, "Kagene twins, activated."
