Chapter 1
Miku and the boy finally reached the Vocaloid headquarters, which was located deep in a forest area. Hatsune placed her hand on the metallic sliding door and it opened up. When they went in Miku remembered something. "Oh, I didn't get your name! What is your name?" ""My name's Joe, but some people call me Joe Fearnow-"evil."" "That's a cool nickname." "Thanks." Joe's stomach growled so loud, Hatsune could hear it as well. "I'll show you the way to the mess hall. Come on!" The cafeteria was located at the center of the base, which was kind of weird to Joe, but he went on with it. Miku led him to a wall at the north end and pointed to a tile that suck out from the rest. "Just place your hand on the panel right there." Joe touched the tile and it scanned his handprints, causing his food to come out of the wall! Eggs, grits, bacon and a chocolate doughnut at that. He could only smile as he thought aloud, "Food in a wall, eh? That just reminds me of Castlevania." Miku smiled to his comment as well. Castlevania was one of her favorite games to play in her spare time.
Joe followed her to a table with two other vocaloid singers, a boy and another girl. They both had blonde hair and had identical outfits. The boy spoke first. "Are you a new singer in the group? You know what they say, the more the merrier. I'm Len. Nice to meet you." The girl spoke next. "I'm Rin, his sister. Maybe when the two of you are done eating, Len could show you the way to your room." Joe was surprised. "Hold on, hold on; you guys are saying I can live here?" Miku answered, "If you don't have a home, where else would you go?" Joe's smile became wider. "I don't know how to thank you guys enough."
When Len and Joe finished their meals, Joe saw his room for the first time. A black bed with red covers, black and red striped carpet, four black walls and a red ceiling, a blue desk with a white notebook on top and a giant TV with all the game consoles from Sega and Nintendo with tons of games! For Joe, this was like a dream come true. Miku came into the room with Castlevania: Symphony Of The Night. She said to Joe, "I need help with this game. Could you help me please?" Joe was a huge gamer freak, so how could he say no? He took the game, popped it into the Super Nintendo and started the game. They played from 7-9:30 PM. Miku was fast asleep, but Joe was barely awake, so he carried Miku to his bed and set her down while Joe slept in the lounge chair in front of his desk. Joe knew that the vocaloid program wasn't all fun and games, so he decided the first thing he was going to do the next morning was audition for the team and get to his performance if he makes it. IF he makes it.
