The lights were dim. It's only bright enough to shone two tubes. Two human sized tubes. Some people in white began appearing around the tubes. The made notes and talked to each other. It was unknown what those people actually said, but a boy in one of the tubes only heard the word 'progress'. Progress, progress, progresses.

"What are they talking about?" The boy thought. He looked around only to find another tube situated right next to him.

"Is someone there?" He thought again. He tried to stand up, but he was blocked by the tube. Soon enough, the tube opened and the people in white were clapping around him.

"Why were they clapping?" He looked next to him to where the other tube was. But it wasn't there anymore. Instead in its place was a huge boulder seemed to crush the other tube into pieces. And underneath the boulder was an arm.


"Ah!" A white haired boy screamed on his bed. He hugged himself thinking of the horrible dream he had earlier.

"Could Vocaloids die?" He asked himself. That arm, although it was just a glimpse, he noticed the similarity with his own arm. Not only that, whoever it was under the rock, he/she definitely wore the same kind of outfit as his own. It's only differing in color. Is there a possibility that there was another Vocaloid besides him from Sony Company? It was the only explanation he could think about. He needed to ask somebody about this.


"So there weren't? He asked again to make himself sure. He went downstairs and after some courage, he managed to speak to a green haired girl, who was preparing breakfast.

"Nope. No Vocaloids have ever made from either Sony Company or Ki/oon Music Inc." She said. "Hey, you don't have a hard time to make friends, do you?"

"Um… no"

"Awww… don't be so shy. It must've been tough since those rumors got out" She pulled out two pans and started making pancakes.

"Rumors, what rumors?"

"Um… others are saying that you are dating Len and then there were some stories about you became Len's slave. Len this, Len that, basically it's all about you and Len" She said while flipping 2 pans of pancake at the same time.

"What!? Me and Len are not dating or anything like that" Piko frowned. He didn't even like Len 'that' way. He does admire the blonde boy (mainly because he adored the other boy's voice), but he definitely has no feelings what-so-ever to Len. Yep, he was still traumatized when he first came here. That time when Len laughed at him for being 'too girly' already made him disliked the boy ever since.

"Well, whatever it is, the rumors have already spread" She flipped more pancakes and all of them landed perfectly on a plate "And since you're here, pancake?"

Back in his room, Piko pondered to himself. It's bad that the others think he and Len had a 'thing' for each other. At least there's nothing worse than that. Well… that was the green haired girl A.K.A. Gumi Megpoid told him. He was quite embarrassed when he the girl introduced herself. His other favorite Vocaloid, aside from the notorious Len, was of course the girl who sang 'Mozaik Role'. He didn't remember the singer of that song though, till Gumi herself jigged his memory up.

"That was terrible" He said. His face went bright red with embarrassment. Maybe he had feelings for a certain someone. But he won't make the same mistake twice.


Len was disgusted. Not only he had to eat Kaito's lifetime supply of ice cream, he was stuck inside the bluenette's room. He was told by Kaito that the others are talking about him and Piko being 'together'. If it was someone else with Piko, he would've be the first one to make fun of it. Hell, he would even started rumors about Piko with someone else if he wanted to. Actually, he wanted to do it now, because the white haired boy's been giving him more than trouble since they first met. It was nothing personal at first, pranking had been the only thing to keep him out of boredom. But now it's more than personal, he sworn he would make the girly boy's life as miserable as it could be.

"Len, would you like some pancakes to go with that ice cream?" Kaito said while bringing a huge stack of pancakes complete with maple syrup and butter on top.

"American style pancake…" he thought. He preferred Britain style pancake but with no access to the kitchen since he was banned from the kitchen because he almost burned the mansion to the ground while making a fried egg.

"Say ah…" the bluenette said while bringing a spoonful of pancake to the blonde's mouth. The blonde scooted back and shoved the spoon away with his ice cream scoop.

"I don't need to be fed" He used his own scoop to grab a scoop-full of pancake and ate it. The pancake itself was fine, but as he mentioned earlier, he preferred British pancakes.

"By the way Len, would you like to stay here for a while? I know the rumors will go away sooner or later"

"I prefer sooner" The blonde felt uneasy. Even a blind person could tell that his bluenette friend had a crush on him. It was weird and annoying at the same time. He only looked at the bluenette as his 'older brother' since he's quite close to his 'sister' as well. Once, he thought the ice cream loving guy liked his 'sister', but he immediately thought that Kaito had a crush on him ever since Kaito let him eat his lifetime supply of ice cream. Yes, Kaito was weird for liking another guy. But the blonde boy kept on being on his side even though sometimes he felt annoyed by the bluenette's affection.

"I need to get back to my room" said Len. Obviously he was trying to escape.

"So soon?" Making sure he had his scoop on him (for the next time he needed ice cream from Kaito), he walked out the room while waving 'goodbye' to his friend. As soon as he entered his own room, he was met with an angry glare coming from another blonde with long hair.

"What made you think you could have Piko?!" she said angrily. Lily, the hobo who could sing, dared to enter the prankster's room to find some answer about her beloved prince charming (at this point Len would puke immediately).

"First, I don't own Piko. Sony does. Second, get out of my room"

"Then how come they all say that you and MY Piko are together"

"If you're talking about the gossip trio, then you're stupid enough to believe whatever they say" The gossip trio, Miku Hatsune, Iroha Nekomura, and Rin Kagamine, held the key to all the rumors around the mansion. While he could prank both Miku and Iroha, he could never harm his own 'sister'. And with the unofficial member, Luka Megurine, he could even lay a hand on those girls. And thus he could not stop the rumors about him and Piko right away.

"Well, they might say lies, but you lied even more than them" Lily decided to retreat after giving a final blow and adding "don't come closer to Piko" before finally left the blonde boy alone.

"Crazy bitch"
