~AUTHORS NOTE~
MangaLuv: Woah! 5 reviews? Even if one of them repeated? THIS ROCKS!
Len: Check that out! Son of a gun! Actual reviews!
MangaLuv: I KNOW! *spazzes*
Len: So, ready to continue?
MangaLuv: Couldn't have said it better, Len. Let's do this!
Len: Let's hope that something awesome happens in this chapter. :)
MangaLuv: This is me you're talking about. Something awesome ALWAYS happens with me around. :D
Len: Nooo, something DANGEROUS always happens with you around!
MangaLuv: Don't be a party pooper. So, anyway, also, that little song in the past chapter, I actually did write that when I was young. I was so creative back then.
Len: You still are. So, let's read!
MangaLuv: I DON'T OWN VOCALOID! (Or Death Note. Or Star Wars. Or anything else except the plot, for that matter.) Oh, also, if you want to know more about Bow and Arrow Shimizu, go to my profile (some spoilers there, though)! It's at the dead-end of my really really long profile.
Len: It is really long, that profile of yours.
MangaLuv: Yuppers. So, also, just to let you know, this story is going to get interesting in this chapter. Also, plus the Comedy/Romance thing going on, there will now start to be Fantasy/Adventure, too. :D
Len: Well, then. This is going to get interesting.

BOW's POV:
I wake up to darkness.
Déjà vu', anyone?
Thing is, though, I'm still in a house. Good. No more duffle bags. I'm never going to own a duffle bag ever again. Ever. Never!
Ok, so, let's recap, shall we, as I lie here in the darkness.
We were dumped on the front yard of VOCALOIDS.
We saw Master, who looks like Light Yagami from Death Note.
We have no real good memory of our family and other friends.
Are we ever going to get home?
And most importantly, Who kidnapped us, and for what reason?
Hmm. I wonder what it's like around the house. Is everyone downstairs still getting English into their language boxes?
Or are they done? All of them sleeping? I'm so CURIOUS!
My head is on Arrow's lap. His arms are around me. So sweet, my brother is.
Ugh, I just sounded like Yoda. So, what to do... I'm so awake, I won't be able to go back to sleep. I'll just move out from Arrow's grasp and just walk around.
~oOo~
So, I managed to do that, and I'm walking around. Jesus, this house is huge! Bigger from the inside than the outside, that's for sure. I walk upstairs, and see a long hallway. There are doors and such. Some paintings and pictures on the wall, with Miku, Len, Rin, Meiko, Kaito, and Luka.
So amazing, this house. I would love to live here. The house is warm and cozy. There is slight snoring, so someone must be the room which has a yellow door. Len and Rin's room, most likely. Don't open the door. Don't open the door...
Too late. I'm standing in a room full of yellow and orange and all shades in between. Daww, they both look so cute sleeping. I smile, and they stir a little bit.
I start to back out of the room, but they stop moving, so I stay. I leave the door slightly ajar, and I walk to their bed. Len sleeps on the left side, Rin on the right. Oh, I see what they did there...
I walk to the left side, and there's Len just sleeping there. I smile. So cute...
NO! STOP IT! I mentally smack myself in the head to stop my fangirl instincts to just touch his hair.
I take a big breath of air, and I walk out of the room. Ok, so, let's calm down. They are just people/androids, Bow. Calm down. Calm down.
I close the door to their room, and I walk downstairs. I hear noises from the basement. WTH?
I walk downstairs to the basement, and there, in the other room, is Master, working on something or other.
I walk slowly and quietly into the room that Master is in. Should I even be calling him Master, or Mr. Master, or whatever?
He looks up and sees me standing there. He smiles, puts down the tool that he was using (looks like a drill or something like it) and walks over to me.
"Hello."
Well. He speaks English. Never knew.
"How are you doing today?" he asks. I shrug. "I'm good." I say. "Tired, though." I continue.
Master nods. "I learn English in school. Not good." he says.
Oh, my. He doesn't speak it fluently. Alright, speak simple. He's to old to be going to high school, so he must have meant past-tense on learn, and he's not good at speaking English. Simple English. Alright. CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.
"I speak Japanese bad, too." I say. Master chuckles. FUCK YEAH! CHALLENGE ACCOMPLISHED!
"You working?" I ask, pointing to an empty container.
"Yes. It is hard work." Master responds. We stand there for a while, standing awkwardly. I nod my head. "What else?" I ask. Master looks to me confused. Rephrase. "Umm... You work on gadgets?" "Umm, I don't comprehend." Facedesk if there was a desk there.
"This is confusing." I say. Master nods. "Yes." he says. "Hmm. Other works?" I ask. Master smiles. "Yes. Other works. I make other electronics." he says.
He knows the word electronics, but not gadgets? Oh, come on! Now, that, my friends, is unfair.
He walks out of the room, me following him.
He turns on the lights (wow, there are actually lights down here) and I see those blue glowing things from before. They were pods.
Wow, they look so cool! They are oval shaped, with white, and blue glowing lines around them. Master opens one up. I walk over to it, and I place my hand inside.
It's so soft inside. Blue padding, and a touch screen inside. There are lights inside that glow a faint blue. I take my hand out and Master closes it. "Charge." he says. Even Vocaloids need to charge, huh? I nod. "Pretty." I say. It's Masters time to nod. "Thank you." he says. I yawn.
Master looks at me concerned. He points to stairs. "You tired?" he asks. I nod. To my surprise, I hug him and say, "Thank you for me and my brother in your house." I hope he knows that I meant to say that we are thankful for him taking us in, and not kicking us out. Also to my surprise, he hugs me back. "No problem." Master says.
We release from the hug, and I head upstairs, with Master staying downstairs.
~oOo~
I'm walking back to the place where Arrow is still sleeping. It's calm in the house, besides some quiet ruckus in the kitchen. I follow the noise to the kitchen, where I see an open fridge, and someone looking around inside it.
"Hello." I say to the person. The person pulls away to revel Rin. "Oh, hello. Don't mind me. I'm just really thirsty. Looking for orange juice. I was positive I had some inside here. Oh! Here it is!" she says, pulling orange juice out of the fridge.
She walks over to the counter with the orange juice. Rin takes out a glass, and looks toward me. "Would you like some?" she asks. I nod. She takes out another glass and hands it to me.
"Hold it." she says as she pours the juice into the glass. I take a sip. I haven't had orange juice in a long time. It tastes like the oranges were just squeezed yesterday.
Rin goes over to the kitchen table and sits. I follow her silently. I sit down as well. "Geeze, you're so quiet. Speak, child!" Rin says. I giggle. "Sorry. I'm just not used to being here." I say.
Rin nods. "I don't know what it's like to be in your situation. I really don't. I've never been kidnapped before, and I really don't plan to be." She giggles, and continues. "I'm so sorry. Do you remember anything?" she asks.
I think. "No. Nothing. All memories to ash. So sorry." I say, upsetting myself, and mostly apologizing to myself.
"It's not your fault. It will all be ok. Well, we'll just find a way to get back your memories! Like we did with the Vocaloid thing! Alright, let's think. Any pets?" Rin says, getting excited. Why so excited?
I think. I narrow my eyes. "I don't know." I say. "No! Think! Come on! Spot? Doggy? Meow? Nyan? Anything?" Rin says so loudly, I'm surprised the whole house isn't awake by now telling her to shut up.
I shake my head. "Woof?" Rin asks quieter, tilting her head. I giggle. "I think...that I never had a dog." I say.
"That's a start!" Rin says happily. No. I never had a dog. Good. Rin's right. We are on the right track.
"Ever had any strange pets? Like an iguana, or turtle?" Rin asks, getting louder. Ugh, she's gonna wake up the whole house!
"I...did. I had a frog. Two of them!" I say, getting as excited as Rin. "Named Lily and Shark!" I say/scream. Rin claps. "Yay! We're getting closer! Any other pets?"
"I don't remember any other ones." I say, but I'm getting images of a, what-it's-called, a weasel?
"I'm seeing a weasel, though." I say, now quieter, and thinking harder. "Good! Even better! Come on!" Rin says, getting up and jumping around.
Wow, she's one energetic girl. I'm surprised Len hasn't grown grays already.
"Sasa and Cuthulu." I say. "I had two ferrets named Sasa and Cuthulu." Then, sadness overwhelmed me with the memory I just got.
"They both died from cancer." I said, and Rin got all silent so quickly.
"Oh. Sorry." she says, all quietly and sad. "It's ok." I say. I don't remember when they died, so they may have died a while ago for all I know.
"Maybe we should get a pet." Rin says mostly to herself. "What kind?" I ask, placing my forearm on the table.
"A cat, maybe." Rin says. "They take care of themselves, and sometimes we're out for a while. Like, when I say out for a while, I mean out of the country for two weeks." she continues.
I nod. "Ahh." I say. Rin sits back down at the table.
~oOo~
We sit there in starting-to-get-light darkness. I look out the window and smile. The sun is finally coming. Wow. Shocked. It seemed like it was going to be dark for a while. Why?
"It's so different here." I say. Rin nods. "I remember going to the United States of America. It was so strange, too. Seeing all of these people, and some didn't even know who we were. They just walked right on past, watching Miku, mostly. I mean, it's not every day you see a girl with hair down to her calfs and the color being teal, huh?"
I shook my head. No. I have never seen a girl like that before Miku. At least, I was positive of it. I don't remember.
"Thought so." said Rin. She nodded, as if agreeing with herself.
We sat there for a while, and then someone walks into the kitchen.
Arrow.
"Hey, Arrow!" I say. I run over to him. I give him a big hug. "Hey, do you remember that we used to have two pet ferrets named Sasa and Cuthulu?" I ask right away. It's important that he remembers this stuff, too.
Arrow looks down, as if thinking hard. "Yes." he finally says after what seems like forever.
Arrow hugs me back, and then we release. "Good morning." Arrow says, and sits next to Rin, and places his head on the table.
"Still tired?" I ask. Rin looks at him.
Arrow sits back up and nods. "I can't get back to sleep, though." he says, and places his head back on the table.
I sigh and walk back to the table, and sit on the table, not in a chair. Seats are for suckers, anyway.
"That happens to me sometimes, too." Rin says, and pets Arrows hair. Wait, did that just happen? Awww... That's so CUTE! Ahem.
"So...what are we going to do today?" I ask. Rin looks at me. "I don't know. Maybe investigate who shipped you guys from the United States of America." she says.
I nod. Not a bad idea.
"Thing is, though. We aren't supposed to be known about. So, we might have to wear wigs or what-have. Not even Master can go anywhere without being recognized." Rin continues. I pinch the bridge of my nose. Great.
"Also, getting involved with the police isn't a good idea, either." Arrow says. Rin and I look at him. "Why?" I ask.
"We don't even remember the trip. We have nothing that can help them." he says. A lightbulb pinks over my head.
"We have the duffle bags." I say.
Everyone is silent. "Then, why not get them?" Rin asks. She gets up and starts running towards the front door. Wait, this house... It would have...oh no.
"NO! RIN! WAIT! DON'T OPEN TH-"
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP
"Door." I conclude.
Gods, this is one loud security alarm.
I clasp my hands over my ears, and Arrow does the same. We hear footsteps running up the stairs, and footsteps running downstairs.
"Nice going, Rin!" I yell.
"OOPSIE!" Rin yells.
"What's going on?" Meiko yells. Master starts going off in Japanese, so Arrow and I are lost. "Ugh! Turn it off!" Miku yells.
It takes me a few minutes as to why I can understand them. I forgot about yesterday. Heh. I'm stupid...
Master runs over to a thing on the wall, presses buttons, and the house is silent. He rubs his temples. "Rin. No." he says in English. Rin looks down, and sort of upset. She starts talking in Japanese for Masters convenance.
They stop talking and then Rin, Len, and Miku come over to the kitchen as everyone else went back upstairs (for Master, downstairs) to get a few more hours of sleep.
All 5 of us remaining sit down at the table. We sit there in silence as the sun rises. "So, what are we going to do today?" Miku asks. Rin shrugs. "Set off more alarms?" I say.
Everyone else looks towards me. Len holds back a laugh. "I was just joking, guys." I say. "It's ok." Rin says. "I've done it more than once." she continues.
"High five. So have I." I say. We stand up and high five, and then sit down again. The boys and Miku look at each other like we're kinda nuts, but it's ok. Rin and I giggle.
Miku nods. "So, what should we do?" Miku asks again. Nobody does anything. Not even shrug. "Well, I'm going to bed. Night." Miku says, and walks upstairs.
Yes. We all are just that boring. Heh...
"So, what's on the news?" Rin asks. Everyone else shrugs and we walk to the place where Arrow and I slept that night. "This place is called the TV Room." Len says as we step inside the room.
I nod my head, and so does Arrow as we sit down. Rin takes control of the TV remote. "Hey! I wanted the remote!" Len argues. Oh boy. "Len! You always want everything, don't you...?" Rin says in annoyance. Len glares. Oh boy. Shit's 'bout to go down.
"What did you say?" Len asks, anger rising in his voice. 'It's true, Len. You always want everything because you think you have more fans then EVERYONE else in this house!" Rin starts screaming.
I cover my ears, and Arrow followed suit. We both glance at each other. I remember that we used to fight over small things, too. "Excuse me?" Len raises his voice.
I start to step forward to halt the fight, but Arrow put an arm in front of me. "Arrow, what are you doing? Let me through!" I say to him. Did he want them to fight? Ugh...
"It's true, and admit it!" Rin yells right in Len's face. I'm scared. This is getting scary, and Arrow looks frantic, too. Yet, his arm is still in front of my body. What is he doing?
"No! I don't think that! What's up with you?" Len yells back. "'What's up?' You know 'what's up,' Len. I'm tired of you and the fact that you brag about EVERYTHING!" Rin screams. Someone is most likely to wake up, right?
"I don't brag about ANYTHING, Rin." Len screams. "Yes, you DO! AND I'M TIRED OF IT!" Rin yells. Rin starts to lunge for Len. Crap.
I scream. Really loudly. Maybe that will wake up other people. "STOP IT! BOTH OF YOU!" I scream, and I hold my right hand out, and I send the twins flying to the other side of the room against the wall.
WTF just happened? Did I just do that?
~oOo~
ARROW's POV
What. Was. That?
Did my sister just send both twins flying across the room?
They lie against the wall, with both eyes closed. They look unconscious.
I look at Bow. She looks like a deer in headlights. She looks at her hand, then at the twins, and then her hand again. She looks at me. I look at the twins as they start to gain consciousness.
They rustle, and Rin sits up. "Ow." she mumbles. I rush over to help them both up. "Are you ok?" I ask. Rin nods. Len opens his eyes. "Are you both ok?" I ask. Len sits up as well. "Yeah. I think we'll both be ok." Len says.
I nod. "Good." I look over to where Bow is standing. Or, was. She's gone. Wonderful. "Bow's gone." I say. Len stands up and shakes his head. "Where would she have gone?" Rin asks.
I shrug. "How big is your house?" I ask. Rin shrugs. "Pretty big." Len answers. I nod again. "Alright. Split up. Search for her everywhere." I'm growing frantic. If Bow can do something like that, good gods knows what else she could do.
Can I do stuff like that, too? I'm her sibling. Maybe...
But now isn't the time. I have to search for her now.
All three of us leave the room. Len heads upstairs, Rin downstairs, and I stay on the medium level. I search everywhere. No luck.
I look outside. It's getting even brighter. It shouldn't be that hard to see/find her! How do you lose a girl?
"Bow!" I yell. No answer. I wasn't really expecting one, anyway. I find the backdoor, and look at the security box.
Master left the alarm inactive. Bow could be outside. I slowly open the backdoor. "Bow?" I whisper. I walk outside. I see her sitting on the guardrail out of sight of the backdoor. I walk over to her. "Are you ok?" I ask.
She shakes her head. "No. I'm not. I'm curious as to how I did that. I'm also scared that I would do it again. In public. In PUBLIC! What if I did that in public? Newspapers, scientists, and all that jazz. There's even a risk that the Vocaloids would get out to the world." she says with shakiness in her voice. I sit next to her. "It's going to be ok, Bow." "Maybe I should cut off my hands, and then place them in the Fear Garden..." Bow mumbles. I chuckle.
"Arrow! Bow!" we hear being yelled from the backdoor. It's Rin. "Over here!" I yell.
The twins walk across the porch to us. I put an arm around Bow and pull her close. She rests her head on me, and I smile. "You're not going anywhere again without telling me. Even if it's to the bathroom. Got it?" I ask her, and she giggles.
Len sits on the other side of Bow. "Is she ok?" he asks. "She talks, you know." I say, and smile to let him know I'm just joking around. "Oh. Heh. Err, Bow, are you going to be ok?"
Bow nods. "Great, making me look like an idiot, saying you talk, and then don't. Gee, thanks, sis." Bow giggles. Good. She's feeling better.
Len smiles. "Good. Good thing that you're feeling better." he says.
"See what I did there?" Bow says. Everyone nodded. "That, my fellow friends, is how you get insane, rabid fans away. For future notice." she continues. Everyone laughs. Ahhh, it's always Bow that makes everyone better.

~ENDING NOTE~
MangaLuv: It's done! Second chapter of "Dumped On A Lucky Front Yard." Yaa hoo!
Len: Great. So, Bow has powers now?
MangaLuv: What can I say? I'm a sucker for powers. Like this! *snaps and sets Len's pants on fire*
Len: GAHHHHH! GET WATER! YOU MORON!
MangaLuv: Hehehe. *snaps, and water is drenched on Len's head*
Len: -_- ...thanks...
MangaLuv: Oh! Not a problem! :D So, anything else to say? Nope, guess not! But, this chapter took FOREVER to write. Or, it seems like.
Len: People have been waiting, and you were to busy on DeviantART. Not good for your readers, MangaLuv.
MangaLuv: NO I WASN'T! (Ok, maybe I was...) But, it doesn't matter, as I got it finished. So sorry for the late update!
Len: Well, it actually isn't all of Manga's fault, anyway. It was her parents, too. Mostly her mom, who won't let her on the computer school days.
MangaLuv: I already said that, Einstein.
Len: Oh well. Better to remind the people! :D
MangaLuv: True, true, very true. The adventure part should start soon, just to let you guys know. So, off to see the Wizard! See you in Chapter 3! :D
