Hey! I'm back with chapter two! Thanks for the reviews! Um…okay, I have a little explaining to do. Len calls Rin 'Rin-onee-chan' or 'Onee-chan' because onee means big sister and Rin is older than him. If you have ever read the VOCALOID manga, Hatsune Mix, that is what Len actually calls her. It's not saying that they are just friends or that they are immature, it's just kind of like he's calling her sis or something. And I'm sorry for the names, that's just what I call them so it's kind of a habit. I'll try to call them all by their first names this time. With Gumi, though, I just thought it was Megapoid. Oops. Oh well, I'll fix it this time around. Sorry if Rin was annoying, I was trying to make her extremely hyper for that chapter. She is better in this chapter, trust me. About the guy characters, I know that technically there are more, but I don't really know much about them so I wouldn't be able to write about them, at least not very well. I just used my favorite VOCALOIDs. Plus I just like OCs. Also, a leek and a spring onion and a long onion are all the same thing, and actually, in some versions of her songs she says 'leek,' depending on who's translation you're looking at, but it's all basically the same thing. About Miku's color, sorry, I messed up there. Teal was just easier to write since I was typing it all on my iPod touch yesterday, but I do know that it's turquoise. Thanks to all of you that support Len X Miku, I do, too, and I'm sick of all the Kaito X Miku shit that's going around. (Please don't mind my language, I'm sorry if it offends anyone. The characters will swear later on though [this chapter, especially], so I hope you don't mind.) Anyway, I hope that helped you to understand why I wrote it the way I did. Again, gomenasai for my previous mistakes. Enjoy the next chapter!

Miku Hatsune's POV:

I woke up and stretched, yawning really loud. Yesterday was a lot of fun! I think Len liked my present, at least I hope so. I got up out of bed smiling. I had a feeling today was going to be another great day! New years was coming fast, so I had to get ready for the festival I would be going to with Rin-chan, Luka-chan, and Kaito-senpai. I still had to buy a yukata. This year maybe I'd get a pink one since I'd outgrown my turquoise one last year.

Quietly, I tiptoed down the stairs and into the kitchen, careful not to wake my obnoxious older brother, Mikuo. I grabbed the container of hot cocoa mix and hummed that song Len wrote called Hot Cocoa while I made myself a cup. (NOTE: If you have never heard Hot Cocoa you must go look it up now! It's a great song! Super kawaii, too!) I poured out the rest of the marshmallows into my mug and took a huge gulp of cocoa that burned my tongue.

"Fuck!" I yelled, louder than I had meant to. Then, quickly, I covered my mouth with my hands, hoping my parents hadn't woken up to me swearing. Luckily, they hadn't. But Mikuo had. Which made me want to swear even more. God damn Mikuo! He always ruins everything! What an ass! I thought as the seventeen year old boy that looked so much like me came down the stairs, smirking.

"Well, well, Miku-chi! You're not normally one to use that kind of language. And the baby heard it to! I can't believe you're my sister," Mikuo said sarcastically, pointing at something in my hand. I looked down and realized I was still holding my doll, Miku Hachune. The doll looked exactly like me, which is why I'd named it after myself. I'd had it since I was really young and I always slept with it, too. Suddenly, I blushed. (Note: I know Hachune Miku isn't really a doll, but I wanted to include her in the story, so there she is. Maybe I'll include Zatsune Miku. Review with any ideas or suggestions, please!)

"Damn you , Mikuo! Why are you such a jerk?" I said in a half whisper half yell, if that's possible.

"Why are you such a baka?" Mikuo asked in that perfectly calm, silky voice that I had come to hate so much. (Note: Baka can mean either stupid, fool, or idiot. Here it means idiot.)

"I am not! You'd better go straight back up to bed or I-I'll-"

"Tell you what," Mikuo started to say in the same voice. "If you give me that cup of hot cocoa, I'll leave you and your doll alone. If not, I'll tell mom you swore and I'll tell Kaito Shion that you carry around a little, plushy look-alike doll from your childhood." (*SPOILER ALERT* Note: Miku likes Kaito and Kaito likes Miku, but Miku eventually goes with Len and Kaito with Meiko[either that or Len ends up with one of my soon-arriving OCs. Leave suggestions on your favorite couples, please]. Everyone except Len knows that Miku likes Kaito.)

"Mikuo!"

"Deal or not?"

"But…fine," I said, handing him the cup of hot cocoa. He smirked and calmly lifted the mug to his lips.

I sighed, turning around to make another cup, when all of the sudden I heard a thud and Mikuo yelled, "Gad damn that hurts! You're gonna pay for that one, Miku!"

"What?" I asked curiously, turning around to find Mikuo's tongue hanging out of his mouth and my shattered mug and spilled cocoa all over the floor. I couldn't help it. I had to laugh. "God, Mikuo, I thought you were smarter than that! Don't you know hot cocoa has to cool down before you drink it? It is hot cocoa after all, not room temperature cocoa!"

Mikuo then preceded to give me the middle finger and start walking toward me threateningly, as if he were going to hurt me. I didn't even back away. I knew exactly where this was going. Mikuo took one step forward and cried out in pain. He had stepped on a shard of glass from the hot cocoa mug. I laughed again. "Go to bed, Mikuo-kun. I'll clean this up. You've been through enough today."

Mikuo rolled his eyes and walked away. It was my turn to smirk as he walked back up the stairs, limping and growling in rage.

I grabbed a paper towel and soaked up all of the hot cocoa and blood from the floor. Then I picked up all the little pieces of the mug and swept up the tiny pieces, humming Hot Cocoa again as I worked. I was done with hot cocoa for today. So instead, I made scrambled eggs and called Rin to see if she wanted to hang out later.

Rin Kagamines POV:

Ring ring, ring ring went the phone. I sat up and yawned, checking my clock. Six in the morning…too early. I layed back down, still tired. A few minutes later someone started to poke me on the shoulder. I rolled over, rubbing my eyes sleepily.

"What?" I asked, opening my eyes to reveal Len standing over me, blushing.

"T-the phone is for you," he said.

"Who is it?"

"M-m-miku-san," Len replied, looking away. He was so stupid. He thought I didn't know that he liked Miku. Duh! It's kinda obvious. I think the whole school knows about it, except for Miku, who is strangely blind to that sort of thing when it comes to anyone younger than her. Secretly, I don't approve of his crush on Miku, although I suppose Miku is better than some people I can think of…not to name names or anything, but Neru Akita likes him a little, I think.

"Arigato, Len-kun," I said, taking the phone.

"Moshi moshi, Rin-chan!" said Miku's cheerful voice. (Moshi moshi is the standard way of greeting someone on the phone in Japan.)

"What's up, Miku-chan?" I asked brightly, somehow suddenly becoming wide awake.

"Just wonderin' if you wanted to come hang out later!"

"Sure!"

We hung up and I began to get ready. I kicked Len out of our shared room and pulled on a pretty, short, pink silk dress. I tied my hair into a ponytail with a little pink ribbon and slipped on my pink flats. I grabbed my tiny pink handbag and shoved about fifty dollars into it before taking off out the door, calling behind me, "Bye, mom. Bye, dad. Going to Miku-chan's! Be back soon!"

When I arrived at Miku's house, she was standing in the doorway waiting for me. She smiled and waved one hand above her head. I did the same as I observed her outfit-it's not my fault I'm a bit obsessed with clothing! She had on a tight-fit, turquoise shirt that said 'Pocky Person' in big black letters across the breast. Not bad, but it could've been a bit more flashy. She also wore skinny jeans and black gothic boots. Her hair was down today, and brushed out very nicely. She had a medium-sized, over-the-shoulder style black leather purse, three pink bracelets on her right hand, and two purple bracelets on her left hand. I smiled. She was at least decent. I could be seen in public with her. And no, I am not shallow! I just appreciate good-looking people!

Anyways, I walked into Miku's house and the first thing she did was hand me a list…well, actually, more like she shoved it in my face.

"What's this?" I asked curiously.

"A to-do list!" Miku said

"O-oh…wait, a what? I didn't know you were dragging me out here to do chores or errands or whatever! No fair!" I complained.

"Not chores, Rin-chan! Shopping!"

"Oh, okay!" I said, laughing. "So where to first?"

Kaito Shion's POV:

I yawned and sat up in bed. It was seven thirty, and my mom was calling me over and over again.

"Kaito-kun! Kaito-kun! Get down here now!"

"I'm coming, mom!" I pulled myself up out of bed with some effort, since I'm not used to waking up until around ten. I yawned as I pulled a loose blue t-shirt and a pair of jeans on and lazily stumbled down the stairs.

"Kaito-kun, I need you to do some errands for me, okay, honey?" Mom asked in her obnoxious baby voice.

"Sure mom."

"'Kay, hon, you've gotta go get some stuff to make leek stew for dinner, and-"

"L-leeks?" I stuttered. Leeks were Miku's favorite food.

"Yep, and carrots, and-"

"I know, mom," I sighed.

"Also, get yourself something nice to wear to the New Years festival, 'kay? And get some more pocky and onigiri rice balls. Oh, and mommy would like some chocolates, too!"

"Sure, mom," I said, already opening the door. I closed it behind me and started walking to town. It was cold out. I shivered and hugged myself, rubbing my hands against my arms for heat. There was about two feet of snow and my old sneakers were getting soaked. To top it all off, my toes were numb and I didn't have a coat, either. I laughed at myself. I was so dumb. I probably looked really pathetic, too. But that didn't matter. I had to decide where to go first. I looked around. The closest store was the grocery store, so I decided to go there first. I checked my imaginary list of items that I needed to get and decided what I could get here. Stuff for soup, pocky, and onigiri rice balls. Then I'd have to head off to the candy shop, and then all the way to the mall. I groaned. I really hated walking. Maybe I'd treat myself to some ice cream…but no. Who would sell ice cream at this time of year?

I reached the grocery store and was about to pull the door open when I noticed to specific people through the window. They were right there, giggling and smiling-Miku and Rin. I breathed in to fast and the cold air tickled my throat. I coughed. Miku is in there with her friend! I thought nervously. Maybe I should go somewhere else first…I shook that thought away. That would only make my trip longer. I reached out and pulled the door open. I stood in between the two doorways for a second, in that little warm walk-in space. I watched Miku and Rinfor a moment before entering the store. Miku laughed and grabbed Rin's wrist. The Rin started laughing as Miku pulled her to a different section of the store. I sighed with relief. Now was my chance to get in unnoticed! I quietly opened the door and entered the store. I walked lightly toward the vegetable and fruit section so I could get the leeks. I grabbed three leeks, looked around, and grabbed another. Then I snuck over to the snacks section and-oh no…there was Miku, right next to the pocky, and Rin, right next to the onigiri. I gulped and started to walk away when suddenly I heard Rin gasp.

"Kaito-senpai! Hi! Miku, look, it's Kaito-sanpai!" Rin called.

I spun around, blushing badly. "Hello R-Rin-chan and M-Miku-chan," I said.

"K-k-kaito-senpai!" Miku said, looking shocked. I laughed to myself. She really was kawaii.

"Hi Kaito-sanpai!" Rin called, running over and giving me a huge hug around the stomach.

"H-hello, Rin-chan!" I said, loosing my nervousness.

"W-why are you her, Kaito-senpai?"

"I just needed to pick up some stuff for my m-mom," I said, my nerves coming back when I looked at Miku.

"Well then," Rin said, "Let's all go on a shopping spree!"

"Wha-?" Miku and I gasped in unison.

And that was how it all started.
