As long as Miku Hatsune had remembered, Miku Zatsune had a vendetta against her. It was probably because they were so similar, but Miku Zatsune was less recognized. In elementary school, they went from being recognized as Miku H. and Miku Z. to just Miku and Zatsune in middle school. Another factor would probably be them having the same appearance, yet Miku being liked more (because of her personality, but nobody dared to tell Zatsune that.). So Miku Zatsune made it her goal to bother her look-alike as much as possible. But Miku was a bit air headed, so Zatsune's attempts mostly went unrecognized, Miku just thought that she had very bad luck.

Zatsune, understandably got more frustrated evertime her attempts failed. So when her crush, Dell Honne, begrudgingly praised Miku's singing above her, she snapped. She was going to get back at Miku, no matter how long it would take. But she wouldn't attack her directly, that would be too obvious. She was going to make Miku face humiliation and deface her "perfect" image.

She was going to run Miku from this town.


"Look Neru! A negi- capybara!"

"Miku, I think you are the ONLY one who can find weird things like these."

"Ne, Neru, what do you think of this?"

"Stop flailing around Kasane, Akita can see what you have in your hands. Haku! Stop talking to the street vendors!"

"But they're so nice!"

"So are hippos, but they can attack you at any moment."

"Actually Dell, hippos are more aggressive than most animals. There are more hippo attack injuries than shark attack injuries every year; they are not 'nice'."

"Stop being such a nerd, Mikuo."

Zatsune heard the group of friends moving to the right of her. Though it pained her to hear Dell with Miku (due to him tagging along for Haku's safety), she moved to her left, ready to set her plan into motion.


"But I don't want to stay here!" Kaito whined. Meiko groaned and turned to explain it to him again.

"Kaito, we are here to scout out more members for VOCALOID. There will be a karaoke singing contest at FL's stand. I will hide in the crowd incognito and see if there is someone here who doesn't sound like a stuck up pig being dragged by its tail. If there are people who sing good enough, then I will offer them a chance to audition again, but this time for Producer. Any questions?" Meiko asked.

Two hands shot up in the air. Meiko sighed and pointed at Kaito.

"But why can't I go too?" he pleaded.

"Because, there is an ice cream stand next to FL's. You can't control yourself around ice cream," she explained.

As Kaito pouted, the teen next to him spoke, "But why am I here, Ms. Meiko?"

"Well," Meiko started. "I can't exactly leave Kaito alone, because he'll probably sneak off to the stand anyway and start some sort of riot. I don't know how, but he will. I can't trust Kaito enough to give him our bus key, and we promised to stay with you. If you come with me, you'll learn valuable experience, but Kaito will go on an ice-cream fueled rampage. So I have to ask you to watch him for me. Please?"

The teen sighed. His father had many other bands to attend to and this was his newest. The record company heads thought the group would sound better with more singers, but his father had to supervise the other bands' events. So he went in his father's stead with the singers. He didn't expect to "babysit" a man 3 years older than him.

"Fine," he said reluctantly. Meiko grinned and patted his head.

"But how am I exactly going to restrain a man who is much stronger than I am, especially when in the vicinity of ice cream?" he questioned Meiko. She smirked.

"Just threaten him with this," she whispered, sliding him an object while Kaito was distracted. He stared at it disbelievingly.

"A frying pan," he stated. She winked at him.

"Works better than you'd think," she spoke before turning and disappearing into the crowd. He stared at where she was before storing the cooking utensil into his bag.


"No no no no no no. No, no," Dell protested. Teto glared at him.

"Why not?" she whined.

"BeCAUSE Kasane," he said slowly as if she was a slow child. "In case you have forgotten, FL is very dangerous to be around when ever we-"he yanked Mikuo to his side and gestured to him and himself "or any other boy her age is around her."

"She's just clumsy! It's not like your lives are threatened," Miku argued.

"She knocked over a knife display the last time we saw her, Ha-tsu-ne," he hissed.

"Stop being such a pansy, Dell," Neru spoke, rolling her eyes. "The contest will attract a bunch of boys too, so she probably isn't going to leave the staff room, lest she wants to get sued for injuring them all. I heard she hired someone to supervise the store, anyway."

"A-and, uh I really want to…," Haku mumbled. "…g-go"

Dell stared at his sister in defeat while the other girls around him whooped in victory. He couldn't resist his older sister's pleas.

"TO THE KAREOKE CONTEST!" Miku bellowed and pointed.


Zatsune checked the security moniter on the front desk. There were black and white images, and the person currently in charge was distracted by some sort of contest across the road. How lucky.

She went into the bathroom and changed. Stepping out and sliding on sunglasses, it was time to begin her scheme.


Meiko shrieked as someone tapped her on the shoulder. She was hiding in the DJ box which was a one way window, so she could see the contestants.

"Hey, I suppose you're Meiko?" A blond woman asked her. Who had stitches on her neck.

"Y-yes," Meiko said, staring at her neck. The woman waved at her face and Meiko snapped to attention.

"Don't worry, it's just a tattoo," the woman reassured.

Meiko stared at her. "A tattoo on your neck, damn you're hardcore"

The woman laughed. "You're exactly like I expected you to be. My name is Sweet Ann, and by the way, Miriam sends her regards."

"So you work with Miriam? I suppose you were ordered to work in place of FL to supervise the contest."

"Well sorta. I also wanted to see a summer festival. I grew up in Sweden you know."

"Is Miriam here?"

"Nah, she's back at base with other members, Leon and Lola. I think she and Leon have got something going on, if you know what I mean."

"Is Leon a jackass?"

"Nah, I think he's more like that Kaito she described. Speaking of which, are you here alone?"

"The blue haired bumpkin we're speaking about is on our tour bus, because he can't be trusted."


"Mr. Kaito, there is nothing horrifying in the bathroom and I-"

The boy looked at the open door and missing blue-haired singer.

"Shit."


"I hate crowds," grumbled Dell.

"Stop complaining, jackass. Miku's about to go on!" Mikuo uncharacteristically said.


Zatsune twitched as she heard her rival singing. Well it seems like she has to wait for the song to end or her plans wouldn't work.


Meiko stared at the girl who bowed to the sounds of encores. Dayum. That girl could sing.

Sweet Ann looked at her, eyebrows raised. Oh right, she has a job to do.

Meiko ran out of the DJ box and pushed through the crowd to the girl. It wasn't that hard as teal haired people aren't that frequent.

"Hello miss," she said, putting on a winning smile. "That was some awesomesauce singing you just did."

One of the girl's friends put her arms around her and grinned. "Isn't Miku awesome?"

Meiko smiled and agreed. "Not only an awesome songstress, but you aren't short in the looks department either! Have you thought about becoming a real singer?"

As Miku was about to reply, one of her friends stepped up and put an arm between her and Meiko.

"Look, you can flatter all you want lady," the boy spoke. "But you aren't tricking this airhead into trafficking for your cash gain."

Meiko punched him.

"How dare you!" she yelled at him, as he glared at her from the floor. "I'M MEIKO FREAKING SAKINE FROM VOCALOID, YOU DISRESPECTING PIECE OF SHIT!"

The boy smirked and said, "Never heard of you," even as people whispered as they heard the name of her group. So much for keeping a low profile.

"VOCALOID?" the same female friend who put her arm around Miku shrieked.

Meiko sighed and pulled off her blond wig while taking off her sunglasses. People murmured even more.

"Well since it seems that we can't have a private conversation," Meiko whispered to Miku. "How 'bout we meet up at the mask store in about, 2 hours? I'll bring our producer so he can hear you sing."

"I can really become a singer?" Miku whispered back very softly.

"You might….," Meiko whispered teasingly. "Though our producers a bit picky…"

"Even if there's a little chance, I'll take it!" Miku whispered enthusiastically.

Meiko smirked. "That's the spirit," she murmured as she slipped Miku a card, then suddenly ran full speed out of the crowd.


"Dun dun dun dun, dun dun dun dun, dun dun dun dun, dun dun dun dun, DUN DUN DUN D-"

Kaito stopped his humming immediately when he saw Meiko in the distance, running his direction. She must've found out he escaped!

Thinking quickly, he rolled sideways, under a table. Kaito heard her get closer then pass him. He sighed in relief.

"Mr. Kaito," someone whispered angrily.

Kaito yelled and stood up, flipping over the table he was under. The teen looked at him horrified, as the sound of glass breaking and water splashing was heard.

"WHAT DID YOU JUST DO?" he and the stand owner yelled at the blue haired catalyst.

Kaito, outnumbered and afraid, decided to make a break for it, but was persuaded else wise by a frying pan.

Huffing angrily, the boy turned to the displeased stand owner. Who was joined by some men in uniform.

"Aw crap."


Miku victory danced into the snack bar.

"Food is on me!" she sang out.

"Not that I'm one to decline free food," Neru spoke while texting. "But could you stop singing EVERYTHING you say? You're pissing me off more than usual."

"That's my line," Dell grumbled as Miku cheerily sang no.

Haku seemed to be torn between clapping for Miku like Teto was doing, or sobbing that she didn't get chosen either. Miku was the best singer out of all of them, but Haku sang similar to her…

As Dell tried to get his sister out of her emo corner, Mikuo typed on his laptop.

"Aha!" he cried. "Here she is, Meiko Sakine of Vocaloid. She looks just like who she said she was."

"But isn't it possible that she had some creepy cosmetic surgery to look like Meiko and is actually a trafficking agent like Dell said?" Neru asked, her eyes never leaving the screen of her phone.

"Anything is possible Neru, anything. Like at this moment a serial killer could walk in, looking normal, and then throw a paralyzing gas in here which would prevent any of us from escaping. She would then pull off our fingernails and toenails then skin us. Then she would pull our intestines out and strip off our muscles from the bone and-"

"Could you NOT say that with a straight face?" Neru cut him off, looking disgusted. Haku was back in the corner, traumatized and Dell looked at him in horror and intrigue.

Mikuo shrugged and continued typing, though a small smirk was seen tugging at the corner of his lips.

Miku and Teto twirled on the scene, each balancing some food. They danced around the group until Neru angrily asked them if they wanted the food to fall. Then the performance ended.

"Mhmmmm~" Miku said dreamily in between chomps of her leek sandwich. You'd be surprised how little places had leeks stored as ingredients.

"I agree," said Mikuo, who had the same meal as her. Nobody else understood why the Hatsunes adored the green plant so much.

"So what should we do next?" Teto asked while nomming on her dessert of French bread.

"Hmm, well we have an hour until Miku meets up with that woman, and we visited the north side of the festival…"

"U-um, I w-want to go t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-," Haku stuttered

They all turned to where Haku was looking in fear. A large security officer was standing there, casting a shadow on them all.

"Hatsune Miku?"

"Y-yes?"

"You're under arrest for shoplifting.'


Zatsune smirked while walking past the food center. It seemed like Hatsune was paying for Miku's crimes.

'Oh, look at that,' she thought, pushing her blond hair wig from her eyes. 'It looks like the perfect princess committed a crime."


This was supposed to be one chapter, but it ended up too long…

And sorry for the late update! I am a lazy lazy person…
