"Suki, what flavour ice cream do you want?" Meiko asked me.

"Um… Maybe just normal chocolate ice cream with a stick of Pocky, please?" I said.

"Ooh! Do you have sake-flavoured ice cream?" Meiko exclaimed practically jumping in the air.

"No." The ice cream man stared at her with a questioned look.

"DON'T LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT! I'LL RIP YOUR HEAD RIGHT OFF!" Meiko screamed at him. He ran into the kitchen and I looked at Meiko.

"Meiko-san, relax! He didn't mean to offend you or anything," I said to her. Meiko being Meiko, I guess that's all she was doing but now I don't think I'm getting my ice cream…

The ding of the bell made Meiko's and my head turn to the door where the rest of the group came into the shop. "Oh, great," I murmured under my breath. I walked to a table and Meiko plopped down beside me.

"I think you should go tell Kaito what you want and he'll order for you. I don't think he'll give ice cream to 'the girl that got pissed off at him' and 'the girl who whatched,'" Meiko told me with a laugh. Really? Go talk to Kaito even if it's just for a few seconds? No.

"Why don't you tell him?" I said to the burnette. She rolled her eyes then smiled at me.

"Oh, PLEASE! He probably won't listen to me. Or… on the other hand, I CAN threaten him…" She trailed off and smirked evilly at Kaito. "Be right back!" she said quickly then ran off to the blue-haired Vocaloid.

"Stupid Hachune Miku! If it wasn't for Miku-chan threatening me with that I could be doing my homework or singing or something that's WAY better than this!" I said to myself quietly so no one thinks I'm a retard talking to myself. Even though I am… Meiko jumped into the seat beside me and nudged me in the arm. I snapped out my thought and held my arm in pain.

"H-hey—ow—Meiko-san," I said forcing a smile. "Why do you hit people so hard! Do you know your own strength?"

"Huh? Oh… Whoops! I didn't mean to hit ya so hard. Good thing is, Kaito's getting us our ice cream," said Meiko.

"Yay."

"You really didn't want to be here, did you?" she asked me.

"Nope. Especially with Kaito-san here," I said.

"Know what you mean! But I don't mind hanging out with him 'cause I can hit him, or throw him through a wall, whenever I want!" Meiko said. I do a breathy laugh. I turned my head to the incoming group of Rin, Len, Miku, and Kaito. Miku sat beside me with Meiko on my other side. Rin sat in front of me in between Len and Kaito.

"Here's your ice cream, Suki-san," Kaito said while holding out an ice cream cone with a chocolate scoop and a stick of Pocky stuck into the top of it.

"Oh, thank you, Kaito-san. But, I didn't pay for it," I realized saying it aloud.

"It's ok. You can pay me back after," Kaito said. I took the cone and started to slowly lick the chocolate scoop. Kaito's trying to be nice to me so I'm not on his bad side. That was nice of him but still! He's bribing me, I guess? Yeah! He's bribing me.

Rin finished telling a "funny" story before I was made by Master. Everyone laughed except me who wasn't paying attention. "How do you like being a Vocaloid so far, Suki-san?" Kaito asked me. I looked up surprised.

"Umm… It's… cool," is all that I can think of. I start to nibble on the Pocky.

"Anything that you like the most?" Why is he asking me questions? I liked being excluded from the conversation.

"Concerts, I guess," I said between hamster bites on my Pocky.

"Oh my gosh! Remember when we had a final practice before a concert and Len tripped on a dance move and messed up all the wires for the instruments and amps and stuff? HAHAHAHAA!" Rin said starting to laugh. Everyone started to laugh with Rin, including me. I can't help but giggle a little bit. Len's face starts to turn red out of embarrassment and anger.

"Rin! C'mon!" Len said to Rin.

"Well, Len, your balance isn't the greatest. I'm still surprised you can dance on stage without falling on your face," I spoke up. Everyone laughs even harder. Len glared at me and I stuck out my tongue at him.

"Why am I always the victim!" Len said.

"C'mon, Len! We don't mean to. It's just that there's always a funny story about you," Rin said with tears in her eyes from laughing so hard. Len pouts and slumps into his chair.

Kaito's phone rang and he takes a quick glimpse at it. He closes his phone and sticks it back into his pocket. "I have to go. Apparently, I have another song to get to," he said getting up from his seat and eating the last of his cone.

"Hold on!" Meiko said getting up too. "You get 'em, Kaito!" Meiko said while whacking Kaito on the back. Kaito flew onto the floor which made Meiko laugh. I stopped myself from laughing but couldn't stop myself from smiling.

"Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow…" he said while getting up. "Th-thanks, Meiko-chan…"

"No prob!"

"Bye guys!" Kaito called back to us as he left. Everyone called bye to him and he's gone.

"I should probably be getting home too. I'm kinda dealin' with sake withdrawals," Meiko said picking up her bag and heading towards the door. "Bye!" Everyone said bye to her again.

"Good job, Suki-chan~ You held up a whole hour with Kaito!" Miku said proudly to me.

"Heh… Thanks," I said.

"And you HAD to add a comment to Rin's story too!" Len complained to me.

"I couldn't help it," I said with a shrug then I smile. He rolls my eyes at me.

"Don't you think it was nice of Kaito to buy you an ice cream?" Rin asked me. I wish she didn't ask that because I didn't really want to answer it.

"Uhh… Sure?" was the only thing I can think of.

"Oh, sure," Rin said with a wave of her hand and a smile.

"I think we should get going. We have A LOT of homework that needs to be done by tomorrow," Miku said. At that, we all grabbed our bags and walked home.
