A/N: Second chapter! Sorry if I kept you waiting
"Ello, Kuo!"
Mikuo looked up from his unpacked suitcase. "Good afternoon, Akaito. You barged in without knocking again."
"Whatcha doin'?" Akaito asked cheerfully.
"Unpacking my stuff." Mikuo shrugged. "Duh."
"Miku told me there's gonna be a surprise welcome party for you tonight!" Akaito grinned his usual grin. "Isn't that cool? I've never been in one before!"
"Surprise...?"
"Yeah! A surp-" Akaito stopped talking as he realised what he just said with a priceless expression on his face.
Mikuo felt bad for the redhead so he patted Akaito's shoulder in a comforting manner. "It's okay, Akaito. You... well, you did your best."
Akaito suddenly said, "I've gotta go tell everyone to change the plan! Mikuo already knew, so-"
"Akaito, there's no need for that," Mikuo said.
Akaito gave him a look. "Are you stupid? It's not a surprise anymore since you already knew it, so they've gotta know about that and change the plan!"
"Alright, so what about this." Mikuo figured he's going to get used to this stupidity. "We'll let this be a secret between us, okay? Just you and me."
Akaito's eyes lit up. "Okay!"
"For now, why don't you help me unpack my things?"
"Do you have a billion clothes like Miku does?"
"No."
"Do you have hidden ant-infested ice-cream boxes like Kaito does?"
"No..."
"Sure! I'll help you."
"..."
And so, Akaito encountered truckloads of books which was no better than ant-infested ice-cream boxes or 'a bit more' clothes.
But anyway they persevered until the time for the party came.
"So now you're supposed to go down for dinner and everyone will be there," Akaito said, "Splendid timing. Let's go."
So they went down and was greeted in great cheer.
"Happy birthday!" "Welcome home!" "Happy anniversary!" "Welcome to the Vocaloid house!"
"So what's the occasion?" Kaito asked Miku.
"It's Mikuo's welcome party," Miku said.
'Ooh's and 'Aah's echoed throughout the room.
And that's what a surprise party means, as Mikuo and Akaito had learned that day.
It was a pretty cool party with shouts and laughter and cake flying across the room. Leek ice-cream cake with pepper toppings wasn't exactly food anyway.
And then Meiko just had to get drunk. It's common knowledge in the house that drunk Sakine Meiko has as much destructive power as a bomb. Even Mikuo got notified about it before he came.
The party's as good as over when Meiko puts down the empty bottle of alcohol. Keeping that in mind, the rest of the Vocaloid household scrambled back to their own rooms while Meiko was still drinking her fifth bottle.
Except for Meito.
He's everyone's hero and Meiko's brother. He's always the one to clear things up after Meiko gets drunk and the only one person Meiko doesn't attack.
And so, the party ended with everyone safe and sound.
A/N: Hm... This chapter's a bit unsatisfying for me in terms of content...
Whatever! Hope you enjoyed it!
