This is the shortest chapter... EVER! -3- So much for making the chapters longer... Aw poo.


Once Miku got to Rin and Len's, she knocked on the door and shook her head to get rid of everything about the conversation with Master.

"Miku! You made it! How was your meeting with Master? Did it go all right?" Rin said poking her head through the door.

"Uh… I guess so," Miku said. Rin opened the door and gestured for Miku to come in. Miku smiled warmly at Rin as a thank you.

"Everyone, Miku's here!" Rin called to the guests. Meiko, Kaito, Len, Gakupo, Luka, Teto, and Neru were all gathered in the living room either sitting on the floor or on the chairs and couches set around the room. Everyone turned their heads and smiled at Miku. Miku sat down on a chair that Luka got up from to let her sit. Miku nodded a thank you.

"Hey, Miku? Why do you look so… sad?" Teto asked from her spot on the floor beside Neru who looked up from her phone to look at the leek-lover.

"Um…" Now's the chance to tell them; most of them are here, too, Miku thought. "You see… There's something I need to tell you guys. It's important." The silence hung heavy in the air as Miku gulped while everyone stared at her with serious eyes or curious raised eyebrows.

"I went to Master because I needed to tell him something..." Miku started, looking down to make sure not to make eye contact with anyone. "He said that there's a malfunction with my system and the only thing I can do is to wait till the bug spreads and my system... fails." After a few moments of silence, Miku looked up to see tears filling in everyone's eyes.

"Miku, this is all a joke… right?" Len asked with a small tear falling down his cheek. "This is just early for April Fools?" Miku looked at Len and realized how much grief she caused him—she caused all of them.

Miku shook her head, making tears fall onto her lap. "I'm sorry, everyone… I… I have to go!" Miku ran out the door and to her home.

This is all a nightmare! I'll wake up and none of this happened! None of my friends will cry knowing that my system will fail! I never had that talk with Master! Nothing ever happened!


Once again, thank you for getting this far. REVIEW! I feel like I'm repeating myself a lot...
