In the unusual room, there was a closet where they kept a bunch of unique clothing. That seemed promising. Miku knew that she would be able to trust Luka in making her look unique for the performance, since she's always wore the same outfit, hairstyle, and facial features for every performance. So now it was time for a change!
"You can pick an outfit from here. I can't decide which." said Luka, opening the closet doors.
Miku scanned each outfit carefully. There were so many choices! Fancy choices, that is. She considered about how many outfits she has worn occasionally. After what seemed like ages, she yanked on a hanger that contained a white dress.
"I found one!" she exclaimed.
"Alright, now you go get changed." Luka said gently.
Miku went into the ladies' bathroom. She tore off her snot-covered shirt and folded it. She rolled off her stockings since she didn't think it would match the color scheme of the dress she selected. She unzipped her skirt. She put all of her pieces of clothing in one pile. That's when she started to put on the new dress. She looked into the gigantic mirror which was standing above the twin sinks. It was a short-sleeved dress with a huge ribbon in the back. The trim went just above her knees, just like her hair did. "I look amazing." she whispered, although it was clear that her eyes were a bit red from crying. She stepped out of the bathroom, almost looking like a princess.
"You look gorgeous!" Luka whooped. "Sit in this chair while I do your hair."
Miku obeyed. Luka had to brush all those shiny locks so that they wouldn't get all knotty.
"Ow! Eee! Luka! That hurts!" Miku grunted.
"I'm sorry! But your hair is so long it takes this much brushing!" Luka said sternly. She continued to brush the hair.
"AAAH! Luka, you could have tore a portion of my hair off!" Miku yelped.
"Then stop moving around like a Mexican jumping bean!" Luka sighed. There was a lot of brushing and complaining from Miku that it hurt. After all that torture of her hair being pulled and tugged, it was finally straight.
"Prepare to be surprised!" Luka grabbed two locks of Miku's hair by her front and started to braid them. She put the two braids on the back of her head and started to tie them together using a flower hair tie. It didn't take very long.
"Okay Miku! I'm done!" Luka announced, grabbing a handheld mirror for Miku to look at herself.
"Oh my god! Luka, did you really braid my hair?" Miku gasped.
"I certainly did. Look at you now! You look as pretty as ever. You should show yourself to everybody else and see what you think!" Luka replied.
Miku got off the chair and went back to her friends. She watched their faces transition into jaw-dropping faces as they all looked at her new style.
"Miku! Words can't describe how beautiful you look! You're... adorable!" said Meiko.
"Spin around! I want to see your hair twirl around!" directed Rin.
Miku did what Rin said. She looked like a graceful ballerina as she twisted. Her hair was a soaring image that could have been regrettable to one if it weren't seen.
They admired the figure. She looked like a true diva- a diva that was about to shine like a star once she was right there standing on the stage.
"You are ought to nail it out there, Miku! Just know that!" confronted Kaito.
"We love you! So do your fans!" said Rin.
"Thanks again..." said Miku.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! An exuberant cry of people exploded through the whole room.
"Oh no! I think they're already announcing our appearances to be made on the stage! I can hear the audience cheering right now!" Len remarked.
"This means Miku is going first! She is the face of the show!" Meiko pointed out.
"Go out there and make us proud!" Rin bellowed.
This was it. It was that moment that Miku was gonna go out there in her new dress and new outfit. Her heart started to pound. Sweat trickled down her forehead. Was she gonna do a good job? Or was she going to mess up on a note or two?
"Ladies and gentlemen, the moment you've all been waiting for... let's all put our hands together for all of the six Vocaloids!" a voice boomed. The audience cheered.
"Up first, we would all like to have our one and only... Hatsune Mikuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"
The cheering was violent. God, Miku was unable to resist that noise. She steps out of the curtains, revealing her "same" self. The crowd gazed at her. Few seconds later, the music to "Miku Miku Ni Shite Ageru" started playing. Miku banged all the moves to the dance. She could hear the whooping and hollering from the audience.
"I've come here from beyond the bounds of science..." Miku sang, making some gestures with her hands. Some people were very close to the stage to see the pretty figure, but some were too far to see all her detail. The crowd seemed to have been even more amazed at Miku's new appearance than the fact she was performing one of her classics in front of all of them. Rin, Len, Luka, Kaito, and Meiko all watched in astonishment. It was even more magical than how she was dancing with her pigtails at the Kagamine Residence. Plus, it was a greater fantasy that them, the crowd, and the people running the venue would altogether be grateful to watch.
"Is something wrong? You've been staring at the package for a long time..." Miku sang the conclusion to the first verse. "I am going to Miku Miku..." there was a buzz in the crowd. It was like a never ending flow of screams and cries for their idol. All those dance moves, her different look, everything just seemed so special.
"And push myself to sing better..." The Vocaloids from the back of the stage started to sing along to the song.
Miku proceeded to dance and sing her song. She didn't feel at all nervous as she was performing. She had never felt so free in her life. Thanks to all of the advice her friends had taught her, she still was able to consider herself as the most beautiful singing icon. A few minutes later, Miku did the ending pose. The audience gave her a round of applause. Miku took a full bow and ran behind the stage.
The other Vocaloids started performing. They sang duets, solos, and the most popular ones. The crowd seemed to have the most extreme screams whenever Miku showed up, and not as loud when the others came. But they still had the extreme screams when Miku happened to be performing with one another Vocaloid.
two hours later...
"That was the best experience of my life!" Miku hollered, stepping out of the venue behind the stream of people exiting.
"Yeah! I'm a bit jealous that you got way more applause than us. I guess your fans really liked your new hair, huh?" said Luka.
"Not only that, but they were happy that they saw me still sparkling like the ocean. They definitely had no doubt that I was going to be any less energetic. And thank, you all for teaching me how to love myself even if I were pigtail-less."
"Anything for a friend!" All the others said at the same time.
So, that was pretty much what happened. Miku learned something new that she had never learned in her life before. She still loved her pigtails, but not as much as she used to anymore due to all of the unforgettable words her friends gifted her. And she will always keep every single word the other Vocaloids said to her deep down in her heart.
Forever.
