A complete family.
For Rin, a complete and happy family is what true happiness is. She's a fourteen years old girl and just a simple middle schooler. Her family is not that rich but being with them is more than enough for her. Every Sunday, she together with her parents, have a routine of going to the park all together. However, as times flies by, being with her parents is nothing more than a dream.
She don't know what or how it happened. But when she woke up after a long time of sleep, the first thing she heard from the doctor is that her parents passed away. She was also told that there was a car accident couple of months ago and they got involved with it. Her parents didn't make it but she did survive only with a prize. She lost her ability to walk.
Right now, she's discharged in the hospital and she's living together with her aunt. It might happen months ago but she still haven't recovered yet over her parent's death. Everyday she lock herself on her room and cry there in the bed... And today is no exception.
She didn't know how long she cried but she finally decided to lift her head and look at the clock on the wall.
"Oh..." She said. Its already nine in the evening. She did forget to eat dinner again. Oh well. She doesn't mind that at all. "I should go to sleep..."
"Try calling out..." A voice stopped her from grabbing the nearby blanket. Looking around the room, she cannot find the source of the voice.
"Who's there?"
"...From the other side of the mirror."
"The Mirror?" And Rin looked at the dusty old big mirror placed in the front of her bed.
"Tonight, magic will reverse everything." The voice continued and for some of reason, Rin could see a light inside the mirror. "Because I am your very own magician."
And with a blink of an eye, the mirror let out a burst of light. Rin used both of her arms to protect her eyes from the blinding light that appeared from the mirror. As the light died down, she put her arms down and stared at the mirror.
To her surprise, she saw a boy inside the mirror instead of her own reflection. He look just like her. From the color of their hair and eyes, and even their faces look similar. He just stand there, smiling with one of his hands touching the mirror. She's living in this house for a week now but she didn't know that the dusty old mirror have the power of… well, reflecting other people.
The smile of the boy on the other side of the mirror grew more lively like he's happy to see her. Rin noticed that his lips did move but she cannot hear what he was saying. Instead, she tilt her head in confusion.
"Huh?"
The boy noticed this and his smile faded. His lips moved once again but still, there are no sound escaped from his lips.
'Maybe because I'm too far from the source?' she thought to herself. She rose up from her bed and tried her best to get closer to the mirror. However she completely forgot that her right leg cannot support her body any longer. So she end up falling to the floor.
"Are you alright?!"
"Yeah… I'm fine it's just-"She cut off her own sentence and looked at the boy in the other side of the mirror. "Wait…"
"Yes?"
"I can hear you!"
"You do?"
"Yeah." And she slowly sit up on the floor.
"So you cannot hear me earlier?"
"Yeah, something like that."
"No wonder you make such face." He said with a smile.
Funny, not just their appearances look alike but their voices sound the same too.
"Anyway, can I ask your name?"
"My name is Rin. Kagamine Rin. And yours?"
"Kagamine Len. Prince of Yellow Kingdom." Okay, even their last name are the same…
"Prince? As in you're the son of a king?!"
"Well, yeah."
"Cool! Oh, and how did you get inside that mirror? Don't tell me you're peeking all the time?!"
"Eh? No, of course not. This is just my first time to actually visit you. As for the reason, it's a bit complicated but I can use magic."
"Magic? Such things exist?"
"Yep. And I can prove it." Len said with a smile. He touched the glass wall that separates them while chanting some words that Rin cannot hear. The last thing she knew is there is a light flashed under the bandages on her ankles. "Try standing up."
"Ehhh?!" she said with her eyes open wide. "I don't want to fall again! It hurts you know!"
"Come on. You won't be able to tell if magic existed if you didn't try."
She let out a heavy sighed and try to stand up. To her surprise, she can stand up and walk like the good old days. She even tried jumping up and down and she didn't feel any kind of pain. A thing she cannot do anymore after the car accident.
"H-How did you do that?!"
"Magic."
Its been a while since they start talking about the most random stuff they can think off. But those hours of talk let them discover more about each other. And it looks like Len is more surprised between the two of them.
Although he know that Rin supposed to live a happy life because of the effect of the 'Scales of Destiny', he found out that Rin doesn't have a friend and he is the very first friend she have. He also found out that she spent months sleeping in the hospital because of the accident. Maybe that's the reason why he did destroy the 'Scales of Destiny' in just one night…
And the hardest part he discovered is about their emotion. It's pretty weird that every time she feels sad, he feel happy while if she's happy, he feels sad. He cannot do anything than to fake a smile or say "Cheer up." so she won't realize it and result in a very awkward situation.
"Also, like other girls, I wanted to be a princess!" She said happily while leaning her back to the edge of the mirror.
"Ehh? And why is that?"
"I don't know. Maybe I get influenced by fairy tales. But I wanted to own a big and beautiful castle."
"Well, the castle is pretty hard for me to make it come true in one night." He said with a smile. "But if you really want to be one, you can be my princess."
"E-Ehh?! W-what does that mean?!"
"Ahaha! I didn't know you can be that cute when you blush, Rin!"
"B-but we share the same last name! People will get the wrong idea..."
"But everybody here knows that I am an only child."
"S-shut up!"
He didn't reply after that and just let out another laugh while watching Rin blush on the other side of the mirror. Huh… now that he think of it, when was the last time he laugh like that?
"H-hey, Len…" Rin called, snapping him back to reality.
"Hmm?"
"You said that you will grant everything I wished for, right?"
"Yeah. And by I mean everything, I mean everything."
"Then… I wish for you to stay here by my side. If possible, forever."
Len didn't know how or why, but both of them did smile at the same time. And with her smile, he can tell that those are not fake. Maybe with all the wishes he can grant, all she wanted is to have a friend by her side.
"I will." Len said, pressing his hands against the mirror, close to hers.
