It was now 10: 15 P.M. at night. Kokone and IA were in their room, carrying a conversation when Luka walked in on them.

"Lulu," IA whined, "the least you could do is knock on the door!"

Luka ignored the comment and whispered, "Shouldn't you two be asleep? Especially you, Kokone?"

"You don't hafta worry, Miss Megu-" Kokone answered, getting slowly used to the Vocaloid mansion.

"Shh. Mayu's asleep." Luka quietly closed the door shut. They listened to Luka's footsteps. Step, step, step. The steps became quieter and quieter until Luka could no longer be heard.

IA lied down on her bed and whispered, "You know, maybe we should go to sleep. After all, you gotta a big day ahead of you, you know."

Kokone agreed. "Yeah, you got a good point."

"Night, Kokone."

"Night, IA."

Lights out. Both girls fell asleep.

Kokone woke up from her slumber and looked at the alarm clock on IA's table. It was 6:25 A.M.. She got out of bed and walked over to the kitchen to make herself breakfast. On the way, she bumped into the man with the long purple hair yet again.

"Good morning. You seem quite early," he said, yawning.

Kokone looked down at his feet for a moment before answering, "That's the time I normally get up."

Gakupo was surprised. "Wow! You must be an early bird then!" He patted her head before saying, "You better get ready. You're gonna have to do all that recording today."

She nodded and walked to the bathroom to take a shower, robe on and everything. When she got done, she walked to the room where IA was getting herself ready for school. She looked pretty tired.

"Morning," Kokone said happily, trying to choose what she's going to wear for today.

"Mornin'," IA yawned, scratching her armpit. "How come you're up so early?"

"That's the time I always wake up."

"Wow! You're up this early every day?"

Kokone nodded.

"Even on weekends?"

Kokone nodded.

IA was impressed. She has never even met anyone who wakes up before 9:45 A.M. in her entire life. Hell, none of her friends wake up before noon on weekends.

"So, what do you do every-" IA tried to ask before someone-

"Yo, IA," Rion said, "Don't you have remediation today?"

IA looked at her clock. 7:34 A.M.. She was late for school.

"Crap! I'm late!" IA exclaimed, running out of the room. After she left, Rion walked up to Kokone and held out her hand.

"You must be the new Vocaloid," she said, "What up? I'm Rion. What's your name?"

Kokone put her hand on Rion's hand and shook. "My name's Kokone. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Rion pulled her hand out. "Heard you came from the country."

"Yep. I came from Shinjō in the Okayama Prefecture."

"Ah. That's cool. I came from Kyoto. Pretty cool to see a country girl."

Just then, Lily walked in the room and said, "Yo, it's almost eight. Ya hafta to be there by eight-thirty. You almost ready?"

"Ah! I forgot!" Kokone exclaimed, "I have to get dressed!" She put on a red sweater with yellow hearts on it and blue jeans.

"Yeah, I gotta go to school, too," Rion remembered, "See ya soon."

"Bye," Kokone said, waving her hand.

Rion left the room and headed to school.
