Chaneru, you made me giggle so hard. And I knew EXACTLY what you were thinking, haha, that's made it even more great. :D

Please enjoy this new chapter.

Master turned in his seat, "You two stay in here while I go knock on the door."

Meiko and Kaito both nodded, and Master unlocked his door, opened, relocked it, and closed it, leaving the keys on the driver's seat, just in case. The Vocaloids' eyes watched him carefully as he made his way up the overgrown path to the porch and knocked on the door once, waited, knocked again.

After several long moments, Master reappeared at the car door, and Kaito twisted his body to unlock Master's door for him from the inside.

"Thanks, Kaito," Master said as he slid back inside and closed his door, locked it again, and turned to face the backseat. "I don't think there's anybody home. There's no car here and... I think it's been quite a long time since anybody's been here to cut the grass, either. I'm not particularly keen on keeping on driving..." Master trailed off, thinking.

"I realize it's trespassing, but what do you think about seeing if maybe we can get inside, and at least use their bathroom, maybe stay the night? I don't think anybody will come and even notice we're here," Master asked.

"You mean, like break in?" Meiko tried to keep the scandalous tone out of her voice. "/You/ want to, Master?"

Master sweatdropped. "What do you take me for, a soul so virtuous that I won't even look out for me and mine in an emergency situation? I'm not saying we should necessarily break the door down, but... maybe we could check to see if any of the doors or windows are unlocked."

It was hard to argue with Master's logic, even though it felt really awkward to consider breaking into someone else's home... or summer home, maybe? Meiko shook her head, shrugged her shoulders, and glanced at Kaito's worried face before nodding.

"I'd certainly rather a real bathroom to squatting in the woods, anyways," Meiko admitted to herself as her bladdar complained again, somewhat painfully this time. Master smiled a little as if she had uttered a joke, then unlocked all their doors and waited while his Vocaloids got out of the car.

Kaito moved his creaky joints uncomfortably, loosening up his muscles from sitting in one place too long. Master removed his cell phone from its charger and slipped it back into his pocket, then left the car unlocked, since its most precious cargo was already outside of the vehicle.

Just to be on the safe side, Master knocked one last time on the front door, then announced himself out loud before trying to open the door. It was locked in his hand. Master frowned.

"Meiko, check the windows, maybe? Kaito, look around and see if you can find a spare key hidden anywhere," Master commanded.

Kaito looked around the overgrown vegetation and under a few somewhat large rocks that were next to the house. Meiko pulled at the nearest window, then the next. The third window, towards the back of the house cracked open triumphantly, and Meiko grinned.

"Master, this window is unlocked! I can get in, I think," Meiko pushed the window upwards as far as she could reach, but waited for Master before trying to make a leg up.

"That's great, Meiko!" Master enthused as he appeared from around the side of the house, Kaito in tow. "Do you want a boost?"

Meiko nodded, and Master knelt on the ground, offering his clasped hands as a stepping stool. Meiko stepped lightly upwards, grabbing the windowframe with her hands, and carefully lifting herself inside of the cabin.

The dying light from outside wasn't enough to illuminate the room, and Meiko couldn't make out the light switch. "I'm inside! But I can't see," she reported back through the window.

Master dug around in his pocket and brought his cell phone out, flipping the screen on to provide a weak source of light, then handed it over to Meiko through the open window. "Try to get to the front door and open it up for us, okay, Meiko?"

Meiko nodded and took the device. Scanning the room's walls with it, she located the light switch on the wall, and held her breath as she flipped the switch 'on.' Meiko smiled brilliantly as the light flooded the room. Meiko lowered the cell phone and walked through the room, turning on the other light switch that she found, and unlocking the deadbolt from the inside of the front door.

"Nice job, Meiko!" Master praised her, and Meiko flushed in pleasure. Kaito smiled a small smile at her, too, and she turned her eyes to the ground in growing pleasure at the gesture from the anxious bluenette.

"Let's check it out first, then bring our things in," Master continued to speak as he admired that there was electricity in the cabin.

The stale air in the cabin reassured both Master and his Vocaloids that the cabin had, indeed, been unused for some time. The Vocaloids hovered at Master's back as he checked the cabin out. As Master discovered the single bedroom off the main room with its queen sized bed, he nodded. As he noticed the bathroom, he exclaimed, "Shotgun!" and rushed forwards, leaving the other two behind him.

Meiko facepalmed as Master closed the door rudely behind him. "Shotgun is for cars, Master!" She called through the door, a little disgruntled at her bladdar's fullness being forced to wait.

The sound of urination followed by the sound of the toilet flushing and the sound of the bathroom faucet turning on was a short torture of fluid sounds, before Master reappeared, refreshed, a grin on his face, making him look more youthful than he was.

"Your turn," Master announced, shamelessly.

"Gee, thanks," Meiko replied dryly, but didn't waste any time going into the bathroom, just in case Kaito decided to go in first and make her wait even longer. Kaito's appalled face at being forced to wait and be the last one to empty his bladdar was priceless as Meiko shut the door on him.
