It had to be obsession. What else could it be? Tei couldn't stop watching him, she couldn't stop thinking about Kagamine Len. It had been a while since she started high school, and he was all she could think about. Befriending him in middle school wasn't enough...

TETO-CHANNN!

What is it now, Rin-chan?

You can't start a tape like that! You have to greet the people listening first!

But it isn't like anyone will listen anyway. Nobody cares about the reasons I have.

Aw, don't be like that Onee-chan! They love you!

No, I'm pretty sure they don't...

Okay, okay! Tei-chan, stop being pessimistic. Teto-chan..., just READ THE SCRIPT AND TELL THE STORY! The people listening don't want to hear this on a recording!

But can't you edit it out, Rin-chan?

Trust me, Teto-chan, I would if I could. But they hear it all, because it's a cassette player that we use to record. So tell the story please.

Fine, fine. Ahem! Befriending him in middle school wasn't enough to satisfy her. Tei couldn't be satisfied as she sat at her lunch table, halfheartedly eating. Why can't he just...be not so...obsession-worthy?! And that stupid Rion too. Tei just wanted to...kill her! But she knew that wouldn't work. Tei couldn't kill someone. But still, she'd like to. What was that stupid group she was in again? Tei didn't care. But then Len...

"Still thinking about him?" Mayu sat down next to her.

Tei gave her a weak smile , "I might be...how could you tell?"

Mayu points to her red face, "You blush whenever you think about him. And you've been blushing a lot. Do you want to talk about it, Tei-chan?"

Tei shakes her head, "No, I'd rather keep this to myself. Thanks anyway, Mayu-chan... Enough about my problems, what have you been up to? Any more plots coming to you lately?" Mayu was a bit of an author...no, a LOT of an author. She posts her stories on some creative writing site. I've read a few of them, and they're REALLY good. Mayu keeps denying her talent though, and it ticks both me and Tei off!

Teto-onee, you know you aren't supposed to use first person...I don't even know if I was supposed to last chapter...

Aw...I don't want to read the script anyway, Onee-chan. I'll be the commentary some more, and you read it.

QUIT WASTING TIME!

Sorry, sorry. Jeez, Rin-chan. Tei-onee, please read on.

Okay... Mayu was a great writer, but she kept denying her talent.

"Well, actually, there was one today that I had a night...but I forgot about it!" Mayu giggled sheepishly.

I laughed, "That's a lot like you, Mayu-chan."

Just then, some vibrant purple hair came up to Mayu, "Bonjour, Mayu."

Mayu sighed, "What do you want, Tone-san?"

Tone Rion giggled, "Tone? We're friends, Mayu, call me by my first name. So, anyway, any extracurricular activities you're joining?" Rion had been trying to get Mayu to join her newspaper committee ever since Mayu had transferred to this school.

Mayu interlocked her fingers so they made a flat surface, supported by her elbows, and rested her chin on the surface, "Extracurricular activities? You mean like..." She smiled sweetly up to Rion, "Chop off your head?"

Rion laughed nervously, "I'm sorry, Mayu, that isn't what I meant. See, you're a great writer, and I would love it if you would join the..."

Mayu cut her off, "Not interested. Leave me alone."

Rion stomped off. "How rude!"

When she left, I giggled, "That...that was AMAZING!"

Mayu smirked, "Well, Tone is an annoying brat. How else would I deal with her?"

I laughed, and put on a fake accent, "Tone? Call me by my first name, we're friends! Join the newspaper! Au revoir merci," I gave up, not knowing a word of French...wait...what is this...? My heart skips a beat as I see him walk by.

He walks by talking with Shion Kaito and Hatsune Mikuo, his blonde hair sticking out like a sore thumb among the blue. He turns to face the table Mayu and I are sitting at, "Konnichiwa, Tei-chan!" He gives me a smile, and I turn beet-red. I should just say Konnichiwa in return, but I can't I can only sit there and stare at his ocean-blue orbs. It's not like he'd notice me staring anyway. Why would he even bother to notice my obsession.

Mayu poked my flaming cheek, "You're obsessing again."

I sighed, "Mayu-chan, isn't there anything you obsess over?"

Mayu was at a loss for words. "Well, um..."

I buried my head in my arms on the table, "Then you can't hope to understand."

How exactly do you obsess over something?

Asked Teto who isn't supposed to be part of the story yet.

Not funny, Rin-chan. Not funny at all.

Look, you'll be in the story in a second, so be quiet, and let Tei read.

Arigatou, Rin-chan...Here goes... Since Mayu and I were very early to lunch we got the privilege - if you can call it that - of watching the students file in. Gumi, Sonika, Rin, Miku, and Teto joined Mayu and I at the table. Yes...here I was stuck with Gumi-chan, Mayu-chan, and a bunch of hyperly happy people. I decided to try and make conversation, "So, Miku-chan, I hear you have a singing audition coming up...are you excited."

Miku bounced in her seat. She was the awesome singer I first saw in middle school, "You mean that Vocaloid audition thing? You bet I'm excited! I came up with something! I call it "White Letter!"" She truly was excited for this. I thought about entering, too, I mean Mama is part of that group... Teto said she was going to try, as did Rin and Gumi... but there's no way any of us will surpass Miku... Well, come to think of it, I hadn't heard Gumi sing (Well, of course I have now, but at the time, she never wanted to...) Who knows? But, to be back on topic, I kind of wanted to try out...I mean, there's always my Psychotic Love Song, or maybe something else...

Gumi spoke up, "Oh...I was going to try out for that, too...I mean, I'd never be any good at that, but there's no harm in at least trying it out, right?" Gumi gave a weak smile, and tugged at her red hat (Once upon a time, it was the hood of the favorite red jacket she grew out of. Teto sewed it into a hat for her.)

"Hm...then a lot of us are going, aren't we?" thought Rin aloud, "Len and I were going to try to break the rules and audition as a pair."

"You're a natural rule breaker, aren't you?" Mayu giggled. "Anyway, that makes four of us...I'm not the best singer, but I might as well give it a shot!"

"Since you're all so excited about it, I think I'm going to try out too!" Teto declared, and faced me, her pink eyes begging, "You're going to, also, right, Onee-chan?"

I smiled. What could I do about it, "Sure. I think I'll try it...What about you, Sonika-chan?"

She sighed,"Yeah, I've kind of got to. I might make it, most likely not, though."

Gumi patted her friend's shoulder, "Don't be like that, Sonika-chan. You have such an awesome alto voice!"

Sonika grinned, "Thank you, Gumi-chan. That's so nice of you to say!"

Mayu placed her head in her hands, and stared at Sonika and Gumi with a slightly creepy smile on her face

"Ma-Mayu-chan...?" Gumi asked.

Mayu caught herself, "O-Oh...sorry...You guys are just adorable~!"

I knew what she had meant, but it was best not to mention that. Instead, they took it as a compliment, "Aw...thank you Mayu-chan...but really, Gumi-chan's the adorable one." Sonika laughed

Gumi hugged the girl, "You make me blush when you say that!"

I saw Mayu take out her notepad under the table and jot something down, reminding me of Hiyori Tamura from Lucky Star.

Well...There's really no point in continuing here. I could either end this tape, but that'd be a waste of film, or just add in a way to skip time...So...um...let's just go to the auditions then. This is what would be known as a transition, right?

I looked around the room, taking in everything...there were so many people here. We would all have to sing something for the judges, one of which was my junior high choir teacher. The others were a little boy wearing green...seriously? Who let this kid judge? And...a lady wearing a red outfit that showed too much skin in my opinion. Her short brown hair looked strangely...familiar. I brushed it off knowing there's no way I could have seen this woman before.

I was bored out of my mind waiting, until long purple hair swished past me. T-Tone Rion? ...No, it was some samurai man that looked so similar to her he could have posed as her and died in order to save her life. I was very glad that that wasn't Rion...She would've put this in her stupid newspaper and insult my singing talent...AAAH! IT'S RION! Oh, wait, no. It was just some girl who looks like a faeries...Can faeries sing? I didn't know, or really care. However, I do care that there are too many people with long, purple hair in the world.

(A/N:The faerie girl's name is very difficult. I can't tell if it's supposed to be Meruri, Meluli, Meruli, Meluri, Merri, Melli, Merli, or Melri...The letters are hard to tell if I take out the U, or change the R to an L or not. But, for the rest of this story, I'm calling her Meruri, because it makes more sense because it is read that way on the box. At least the image I am familiar with.)

"Okay! Wish me luck!" I was so busy getting lost in my own mind, that I didn't realize it was Miku's turn to go into the studio where the judges had gone in. As I waited for her to come out, I heard,

Kumo no kirema kara hirahira
Fushigina tegami ga todoi ta

It was pretty cute, and based on Miku's smile when she emerged, she was pretty happy about this. I guess it went well.

Rin squealed happily, "That means it's our turn now!" She high-fived Len, and they both skipped in. It sounds cheesy, but I could only hear my heart beating as he passed me by.

Then, Gumi, then Sonika, then Mayu, then Teto. Finally, I was the last of us, "Ugh, let's just get this over with," said the tiny kid-judge wearing green, after taking one glance at me. I try to ignore him, and start singing on the cue

Sora wa haiiro kumoyuki mo ayashiku
Maru de boku no kokoro mitai da ne onaji da ne
Potsuri hitosuji ochite kita shizu-

"Okay, okay, we've heard enough!" droned that green-wearing brat. His accent sounded quite familiar

The judge in red looks troubled about something, "Excuse me for this being off topic, Sukone-san, but... Are you familiar with the name Yowane Haku?"

I shake my head, even though I recognize it mildly. Must be some singer Teto showed me that she aspired to be like someday. I can't even remember where I heard it.

"Oh, um...this may not be the time for that. Please continue." The judge bows, and I open my mouth to start the line I was cut off on over again.

"No, no, no ,no ,no. We all know how awful you are at singing. Just leave." I really want to kill that snot-nosed kid.

I slam my hands on the table in front of the kid "Look, kid, I don't know how you got into this power, or why ANYONE would let you do this, but the rules say, no, they SPECIFICALLY STATE I am allowed to continue until I finish the song! So SHUT UP until then, understand?!"

He stands up on the table, and my eyes intensify...Why is this in the script? Who says that, ever?

Well, I was going for a bit of...you know, drama when I wrote this...Like, some big vocabulary. Except it might be wrong because our stupid author can't English well.

Sigh...You and your effects, Rin-chab... Anywaaaaay, back to the event

"Who...the hell...do you...think...you are?!" I seethed

He glared at me, "Tone "Gachapoid" Ryuto! And you had better remember it when I become the best Vocaloid of them all!"

Miss Masuda sighed, "As if. The only reason you're even in this organization is because you caused a scene, and your older sister blackmailed us to let the both of you in. And you also can't stand any singer better than you, which is all of them, so you just say they're all terrible. Thank you for letting me express my thoughts. Please continue, Sukone-san...Sukone-san..! Tei-san!" The bubbly energy from the Lili Masuda I knew a few years back had returned to her, "Oh my gosh! You used to be one of my students, right? You loved music so much that you challenged that really nasty purple-head to a singing battle! Just between you and me, " She started to whisper instead of shout, "I never liked her, but you were one of my favorites." Miss Masuda winked, "Oh, um, sorry, please finish."

I finished singing, and I hope I did well. After stopping for lunch at a nearby cafe.

Thank goodness it wasn't a maid cafe. we had a bad experience there, once. I think it was sometime after this...

Be quiet, Teto, we're getting to that later. Try not to use up all the tape, because I need to add some language notes on the end, okay?

Okay, okay. Since there were a bunch of people trying to win this thing, we had time to stop at a cafe, and make it back to the Vocaloid studio. Just as the last boy went in to sing, we were back. After a 4-minute period of time, some copies of a sheet of paper was put at the front desk with the results.

Everyone that had come with our group had made it, and Miku seemed to be they're first choice. Well, not exactly everyone. I was the only one who didn't become part of the Vocaloid group. I don't really care, honestly. It was Teto's adorable face that I would hate to see disappointed that I joined in the first place.

Gumi was sitting over on a bench, trembling. Sonika noticed this scene, and brought the paper over to the poor girl. I couldn't hear there conversation, but it ended up with Gumi blushing furiously, and Mayu's nose bleeding.

You know what, Teto, this was your own heartbreak, so I'm going to let you tell the story at this point, okay?

R-Really? And Rin won't tell me to be quiet?

Really!

Yay!

Now you make me sound like a bad person...

You are, Rin-chan.

EXCUSE ME?! Tei, I trusted you!

Woah, it was a joke, okay? Teto can tell the story now.

U-Um, okay. So, I was very exited to get into this program. It has really been my dream since I was a little girl. Mama was in it, and is still to this day. So I was overjoyed, and happy, which are the same thing, and... Um... well, the intercom turned on.

"Attention everyone in the building! As you may know, today is April 1st!" announced the voice of the kid judge in green, "As a joke, we added one more person then we were supposed to. An April Fools to Kasane Teto! You aren't really in the program, and we hope you don't hold our joke against us, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

The room filled with laughter. Easy for them to laugh. They didn't have their hopes and dreams ripped away from them as quickly as they worked to achieve them. My face grew as white as a sheet of paper, and I chomped down hard on my lip to hold back tears. Of course it didn't work. It never will. Cutting your lip open with your teeth will only stain your shirt red and make you want to cry even more. My pink twin-drills bounced as I ran crying into the bathroom just as three judges came into the main room where all the contestants were waiting.

I was huddled in the bathroom when all this happened, so back over to Tei.

Got it. No film wasted. I was outraged as that little snot-faced green-clad, stupid Tone boy walked in with a little snot-faced green-clad stupid Tone smile on his little snot-faced green-clad stupid Tone face. I was so mad, my insults didn't even make sense!

I stood up on the front desk and everyone was surprised.

I was making this up on the spot, but apparently I am a pretty good composer when I'm angry. I grabbed a random conveniently placed microphone (No, Rin, nothing is strange about its convinient placement. It is a singing program studio, after all) and shouted into it a song made up

"Subete no Vocaloid ni tsugu."
Kyou kara aratame watashi ga shunjikou desu
"Iron ga aru mono wa mae ni de nasai."
Iron ga aru mono wa mae ni de nasai.

I did not know what I was talking about. I didn't really want to be the main character. I guess I just figured things would be better if I were in charge; Everyone looked on in surprise as I continued

Omae no osoreru mottomo zangyakuna houhou de kowashite yaru

Now THAT was a line that I was exited to sing. I would destroy them all in the most brutal way possible.

Totsuzen desu ga oshirase ga zai rimasu."
Kyou kara watashi ga sekainokisoru to naru
"Iron ga aru mono wa mae ni de nasai"
Iron ga aru mono wa mae ni de nasai

That's right! I have the rules to the world, so if you have objections, GET OUT!

Omae no osoreru mottomo zankokuna goumon de kowashite yaru

Again, I would like to destroy them all with brutal torture! They deserve it for treating a Teto like that.

The verse continues with me not knowing what I was doing. Well, I hope Teto was okay with this.

I grab the kid by his green scarf and throw him out the window

"Totsuzen desu ga rouhoou ga zai rimasu.
"Kyou kara kono sekai no chuushin wa watashi
Midori ni tsuku mono wa mae ni de nasai."
Midori ni tsuku mono wa mae ni de nasai

Oh, look who's wearing green. I'm glad you're having fun flying through a window.

Sou yo kore wa ikeru kirai subete he no
"Sensen fukoku" na no

I grinned as I yelled that. I declare war on all the Vocaloid, what are you going to do about it? The majority of the audition was clapping their hands to the music that came out of nowhere (Yes, Rin-chan, the author can't provide an explanation for this one. My song automatically has an instrumental to it. There. You win.) I skilfully tossed the microphone and caught it.

Subete wa yami he yami wa mu he to
Sono saki wa "subarashiki seka"
Iu nareba unmei wo kimeru kami no "kotoba"
"Whole Note"
Kirai wa suouiro ni sabi subete wa "tomaru"
Watashi ni kudare subete no Vocaloid-tachi"
Saishuu tsuukoku" yo

With my last "That is all" I leapt from the desk, and went to join Teto in the bathroom.

"Nee, Onee-chan."

"Oh, H-Hi Onee-chan..."

"If it makes you feel any better I kind of declared war on them all, and threatened to destroy them in the most brutal way possible, and also lobbed a kid out a window."

"Um..."

"More importantly, exactly WHAT are you doing!? In all the seven stalls in this bathroom, you chose the third one to hide in! Practically asking for a haunting. I rapped three times on the stall door, "You'd better leave my sister alone, Hanako-san!"

I heard a soft "I'll protect her," from the air. Huh. So they ARE real. And hopefully, she's at least friendly to Teto.

"So, do you want to go home?! " I asked, and held my hand out.

Teto grabbed it, and stood up. "You know, if I turned out to be the older sister, this would be kind of sad."

"Why?" I asked, "What if we happened to be twins, like Rin-chan and...L-Len-kun."

Teto giggled and then looked at me, confused, "Why is your face all red, Onee-chan...?''

Gah! It was? "What are you talking about?"

"You just got really red after Len-kun was mentioned..." Teto gasped, and gave an evil smirk, "You like him, don't you? Heh heh!"

"Tei-chan and Len-kun sitting on a tree..." chimed in the ghost.

"Shut up before I break your ectoplasmic neck!" I shouted.

"Len-kun," Teto said, and watched me slowly become a tomato.

I sighed and gave in, "Okay, well...um...I may have...a small...obsession"

Teto smiled and placed her hand on my shoulder."That is called love! And I will SO TOTALLY SHIP IT! Yes! I'll do everything possible to make sure your love becomes a reality!"

W-Wait, I know this happened, but what if Len-kun didn't like me back? Would that have stopped Teto?

Hm. Well there goes our super-awesome Teto-guts-girl ending. You of all people should know, Tei, once Teto-chan puts her mind to something, there is absolutely no stopping her. And...cut the recording! Ending is back!

Woah, wait!-
