Chapter Two
Luka sat at the back of the bus slumped against the wall, with her cheek smushed on the window. Her mouth was slightly agape, her eyes dead.
Lily;s head peeked over the seat in front. "Is she still at that?"
Luka's face slid down. She mumbled, "Idonneven CARE anymoooore..." and her eyes fluttered.
"... and, you know what I mean? What you gotta do is go right up to him, tell him! But not if it's a Tuesday, especially if it's cloudy. If the clouds are puffy and white, you better just go, get a sandwich, and sit at a table. Unless, of course, it's raining! I mean, duh, why would you sit outside if it's raining? Everything would just get soaked. Unless you get an egg, and THEN go sit outside. Then, it won't really matter. Unless you're not wearing waterproof clothes. In which case you should go inside with your egg... wait, not, sandwich... well, an egg tastes better that a sandwich, but I guess that just depends on what you think, but you should probably bring an apple instead if..."
"Miku?" said Lily. She poked Miku with a stick. "Oh Miiiiiiiikuuuuuu...!"
Miku sprang up and landed neatly standing on the bus seat. "BE quIET! Can't you see I'm helping a soul in ...!
The bus executed a perfect swerve around a corner. Miku's turnout, however, was not so perfect. She toppled backwards and landed with her head on Al's lap and her legs in the air.
Her big blue eyes widened. She giggled and stroked his cheek. "Hey, Big Al, whatch doin after school today?"
Al just stared at her. "But driver, please tell-?"
Miku immediately shot up and cupped her hands around Al's face. "No! We can make this work!"
Lily's head plopped into her hands. "Uh-oh." she whispered.
Luka choked out a pathetic moan and her head landed on her lap in a final position of defeat.
Al was turning red. "Uh... Miku, can you please get off of-"
"Hey! Hey look at big Al!" trilled Len Kagime, hanging off the seat across.
"He's hopping mad!" responded Rin Kagime, with her head propped up on her arms.
"Mad as a hare!"
"SHUT UP." growled Al.
Miku giggled. "Oooh, defensive!" she said. "I like that in a man...!"
Al slapped his hand onto his face.
Lin grinned and slid across the floor to Al's seat.
"Yes, definitely mad as a hare!"
"A hopping mad hare!"
"Unlike his own hair, though."
"In can barely move under all that hair gel!"
"Poor hare, he's suffocating."
"I feel bad for his hair."
"I know."
"Shut UP already you two!" said Al.
Luka finally sat up. "Really, guys, stop. We're almost there, anyway."
And indeed they were. The bus screeched to a stop and the doors opened. One by one, the Vocaloids exited the bus.
First, there was Miku, her bright teal ponytails swinging in Al's face as she dragged him along. Al's hair, black and sticky, unsurprisingly did not move at all.
Next, Luka stepped down carefully, making sure that her dress was not soiled. She looked back. Gakupo was behind her! She turned white, got distracted and tripped...
And then suddenly, Gakupo's hand shot out and grabbed her. He smiled. Luka stopped breathing.
"You'd think you'd be more careful, with a pretty dress like that," he said, leading her down the bus steps.
Luka could barely breathe. What just happened? She asked herself. She didn't have an answer.
Next out of the bus were Len and Rin Kagime, the twins. Their bright yellow hair flashed in the sunlight. Rin went ahead, throwing imaginary flower petals into the air while Len followed up behind, crying, "all hail your majesty, me!"
Len stumbled and tripped over Rin. They both fell onto the pavement and said "Ow!" simultaneously.
"C'mon, I ain't got all day!" said the bus driver crossly. "Honestly, it's like this every time!" he grumbled.
Next our was Lily, her long blonde hair's thin strands floating in the breeze, next to Ann, who was nervously twirling her light yellow hair. They was followed soon after by Kaito and Meiko, blue hair and brown hair together as they held hands and stepped down.
"Look at them, holding hands." snorted Len.
"It's like a bad, bad romance movie."
"Except in this one-"
Kaito just turned and said, "does anyone have ice cream?
Meiko nudged him. "Don't you think you should try to get rid of your little, uh... ice cream obsession?
"Mmf?" asked Kaito. He had shoved a whole ice cream bar into his mouth.
Meiko sighed. "Guess not." she said.
"Anyone else?" shouted the bus driver.
"One of them's asleep back here!" someone hollered back.
"Well, come one, wake her up!" someone else said.
"All right, I'm awake, I'm awake!" groaned Akita. She groggily sashayed across the bus and down the steps. "Can't a girl get some sleep anymore these days?"
"Heads!" shouted the driver. Something small and yellow flew out the door and hit Akita on the head. It was a cell phone.
"Thank y-" she started to say, but the bus doors slammed shut, the tires squealed, and the bus shot away. "I don't think he likes us." she pouted.
"No. Really." said Lily. She then turned to Ann. "Sorry, don't worry, it's not like this every day-"
"Oh, that's okay." Ann said softly. "It's fine. I like it this way. Nice and loud."
Rin and Len stared. "Something wrong with your head?" said Rin rudely.
"Okay, that's enough." said Luka. "Come on, Ann, let's go inside. It's cold out here." She took her hand and they all went inside.
Inside the Vocaloid Mansion, it was nice and warm.
"Oh, it's so nice...!" said Miku, stretching out her long arms.
Suddenly, they heard someone's voice. "Welcome everyone!"
They turned. Ann clutched Luka's skirt.
"Granpa Hiro!" said Lily. "Hi! Ann is here."
"Where?" he said, confused. I don't see-" then he looked down. "Ah, there you are!" He took her hand. "Come, let me show you around." He then turned to Miku. "And then I have to talk to you about your math grade."
Miku groaned. She crossed her arms and stuck out her tongue at his back as he walked away with Ann.
All of them stood awkwardly in the middle of the hallway, as always, and then they slowly stared at each other and walked away to their respective rooms.
It had been a long day. Everyone had done their homework. Everyone had finished singing and banging on the walls of others to tell them to stop singing. It was the twin's turn to cook, so no one ate.
"Hey!" Rin had said, waving a pan. "It's tasty! Eat up!"
Gakupo had responded, "But what is it?"
Len had appeared behind Rin. "Meat."
Rin then, had frowned. "Meat? I thought... I thought we were making pancakes!"
Gakupo then took out an eggplant.
Following him, Luka had taken out a can of tuna and Kaito had taken out some ice cream. Everyone else had pulled out chips.
It was night. Gakupo lay in bed, staring at the ceiling. He could still hear the hopelessly drunk Meiko singing with both people in the rooms next to hers banging at the walls.
But Gakupo was thinking of one thing only.
Luka.
Luka Megurine.
He reached under his bed and carefully extracted a very eggplant-stained diary. Wow, if anyone knew I had a diary, I would never hear the end of it. With that thought in mind, he looked at the door. There was no one there. He flipped to the right page and started to write.
Dear Diary,
Today, I have met Luka Megurine. It strikes me as odd that I had not seen her before, for her vibrant pink hair is hard not to notice once I have been awakened to it's presence. I had always kept in mind the single goal of excelling in my studies, maybe making a few friends along the way, so I had never noticed her. She is beautiful. The way her dress flows out behind her, the way her hair sparkles on sunny days... the way her cheeks turn red with the cold...
As insignificant as it may seem, when I handed her that folder, that one simple folder, our eyes met. The moment I saw those bright shining blue eyes, that little sweet smile, I knew that there was something special about her. Love at first sight? Probably not. I barely know her. But I would bet all my eggplants (including my secret emergency stash) that if I'd get to know her-
He stopped. His eyes lingered on the word if. If he'd get to know her. He frowned. If. Such a small word, the personification of a chance. A chance that might happen.
And he knew that that was not true. He crossed that out. And then he erased it and rewrote it.
But I would bet all my eggplants (including my secret emergency stash) that when I get to know her, she will be the most sweet and caring person that has ever lived in this old mansion.
With that, he smiled and closed his diary. He reached down and hid it under his bed again, and then he got back up and lay back in his bed. His purple hair, no longer in a ponytail, practically covered the whole pillow. He turned on to his side and grinned.
He couldn't wait to see Luka again the next day.
