A/N:

I made a serious goof in the last chapter. At four in the morning, I woke up with a start and literally facepalmed myself. I had some kind of weird dream about snow and then I remembered that Miki is nicknamed the Christams Vocaloid Elf and then I remembered that Piko was released a year and four days after Miki. In December. And the setting was in spring.

! ! ! ! ! ! OTL

Yeah, more proof that I suck as a writer. Well, I changed the last chapter a bit, but nothing major. WHOOT! Piko makes his entrance in here, enjoy~

...If you can. OwO

But quick note: I had a fangirl scream. That's right, fangirl SCREAM, not squeal. For those of you who know who my top Voca Pairing is, you know what I'm talking about. XD

But take away the spaces first. OwO

Iroha and I jerked uprite at the sound of the scream. We looked at one another and immediately assumed the worse.

"Let's go!"

I grabbed her hand and we soon found ourselves in the living room. A soft poof alerted us that we had landed on top of the couch as we surveyed the room. It was silent for a long time and as we moved to get off of it, a high-pitched scream permeated the air.

"I swear, it wasn't me!"

"Who else can eat that fast? ! And don't try to make the excuse that you weren't here, there's an empty tray of cookies in your hand!"

"I am serious! I found it like this, on the table when I came over to see if we still had tape!"

"And just why the hell would tape be found here?"

"I don't know! I saw some earlier on the table!"

"You're horrible liar!"

"KYAAAAAAH!"

Before we knew it, we were in the kitchen, witnessing Luka brandishing her infamous tuna over poor Gakupo's head. We were certain that she would have smacked him across the face repeatedly were it not for our reflections from his sword that gave us away.

Luka gasped and automaticaly dropped her weapon. "Girls! What are you doing here, I thought you were suppose to be babysitting the children!" she added when she noticed that I was there.

I rubbed my arm and started to tug on my gloves. "Errr, I am, but Yuki 'kidnapped' Gachapoid and now I'm busy trying to find them right now." I know it wasn't the whole truth, but at least it wasn't a lie. A little white lie never hurt anybody.

"Th-thank you for stopping by!" I was startled by Gakupo's cry as he tackled my legs and latched onto them firmly. I could not help but feel my face grow a little red from embarrasment.

"U-um, no problem?"

I didn't really know what to say at that point, even when Luka grabbed him by his hair and commenced to drag him out of the room while Iroha and I nervously laughed.

"W-well now, that was...interesting."

I nodded in agreement. "But I wondered what they were fighting about..." I asked as we surveyed the kitchen. When our gaze landed onto the table, we were shocked to see that some of the sweets were missing. Well, Iroha seemed more surprised whereas I was confused.

"Oh no! All of the green colored and apple flavored treats are missing!" Iroha exclaimed.

I shrugged. "And? How is that a problem?"

Iroha looked mortified. "Don't you know that the new Vocaloid loves sweets?" My guess is that my blank look told the whole story as she sighed.

"Of course not, Miku neglected to tell you... W-well, it can't be helped, I suppose... But um, I guess that was why Luka was upset she was in charge of kitchen duty."

"Oooooh!" I said. Now I got it. But then a thought crossed me as I frowned. "But nobody made me, Kiyoteru-sensei, and Yuki-chan anything to eat when we first arrived." I pouted.

Iroha thought about it too but shrugged in the end. "Um, I guess it's 'cuz they didn't know what you guys liked. Your character items came in late when you were released."

That stung. Everyone could have guessed what we had liked. I am sure that it was mentioned that Kiyoteru likes caffeniated beverages and that Yuki gave out apples and spoke about being about some apples high.

But, maybe mine is a little difficult to pick out... But apparently Piko deserves a lot of recognition considering there's a feast that somebody had already started snacking on for him that was layed out on the kitchen table.

I sighed and decided that I'd do what I do best: suck it up.

"Wait a minute..."

I was snapped out of my depressive thoughts as Iroha placed a small finger on her bottom lip.

"All of the green colored and apple-flavored treats are gone... so that means... It was them!"

I mentally facepalmed. Of course! How did we even miss that? And poor Gakupo had to pay the price...

"Okay, we've got a lead so now we have an idea at where they could be hiding!" I exclaimed as we dashed out of the double doors of the kitchen.

"Usually after they finish eating, they take a nap, right?" Iroha asked, just to clarify with me.

I nodded with a smile. "And don't they usually nap in the tree house?"

It was Iroha's turn to grin. "It has a heater in there and plenty of blankets, they should be fine up there and with our luck, we should find them in no time!"

I stopped. "Then why are we running? Can't I just teleport ourselves over there."

Iroha slowed down to a steady pace before stopping. "I guess so, you're not tired are you? You've used it a lot already today, it usually wears you out after a few tries." she asked in a worried tone.

Honestly, I could not even tell whether or not I was feeling exhausted. I guess I was just too worried about the kids to care. I shook my head. "I feel alright, I don't think one more will hurt me." I answered and grabbed her hand. "Let's hurry just in case we're wrong."

I didn't give her time to answer as she soon found herself surrounded by wooden planks that were adorned with pictures of ourselves.

Sure enough, the two kids were fast asleep on the beanbag chairs, cacooned in thick fleece blankets with the heaters up on high. We grinned as Iroha picked up Gachapoid while I did the same for Yuki.

xXx

"And you have to apologize to him for causing him that much trauma! Although I have my doubts that he will recover from it, but at least he needs some form of piece of mind that he really was not the one to blame for what you two did." I was busy scolding the two after they were awake.

With our help, Luka finally finished baking the new batch of cookies, muffins, cakes, pies and the like before the new Vocaloid came. She smiled appreciatively at us after she had placed the fudge in the fridge to cool.

"Thank you for helping me! With Meiko off in a drunken stupor worrying about whether or not if the new Vocaloid is going to be a gorgeous piece of art, I would have never finished up in time!"

All of us laughed except for Yuki. She was too busy trying to dust off her outfit because it ended up having the flour get caught on her clothes while she was baking.

"You're welcome..." she grumbled when she noticed that I was busy glaring at her. She can be a sweetheart, but every cute litte girl have her moments.

Luka beamed and bent down to her height to pat her head. "Well, I thank you for your help, you worked very hard! Do you know what good little girls and boys get when they do a job well done?"

Gachapoid and Yuki looked at each other before looking up back at the rose-haired Vocaloid and shook their heads.

"They each deserve their own bag of sweets." With that being said, she gave Gachapoid, Yuki, Iroha, and myself a bag of sweets of our own.

The youngest had huge grins on their faces that was so bright, it could've lit up the entire christmas tree for the rest of the month.

"Thank you Luka-sama!" We chirped. Yuki and Gachapoid made fast work with their rewards and was found sleeping on the couch in less than thirty minutes.

Iroha was a bit different as she decided to save hers while I was busy nibbling off the edges of the mini-cherry pie that Luka had set aside for me.

"I wonder if they it'll be nice once we meet?" Iroha wondered aloud.

I stopped mid-bite. "Maybe. I hope so. I mean, we don't really need another Miku around here, now do we?" I joked. Iroha smiled and rested her head on my shoulder.

"But what if it isn't? What if it's almost like an exact replica of Miku, just from a different Company, a possible different set of clothes and voice?"

That one was a little hard to say, but I patted her head with my free hand that wasn't sticky and smiled. "Then we'll just have to make the best of it. But if it is, I don't think they would get along. You know, the whole Vocaloid Supremecy sort of deal will be the main difference of them. They'd fight it out pretty much everytime they see each other. I honestly don't think we'd have much to worry about."

"But what if it wants allies?"

Now she lost me. "Allies? What're you talking about?"

She straightened up and looked up at me with her bright, amber eyes. "I mean, what if Miku becomes too much to handle for it? Maybe we can help. All of the Crypton Vocaloids are on Miku's side-"

"Unless you count Kaito and Len. And maybe Luka, she doesn't seem to be particularly fond of Miku-"

"But, if that were the case, maybe we can help them out!"

"Why do you want to do that so badly? We haven't met it in person! Much less even had a voice sample."

She looked a bit defeated and sighed, as if though I was understanding what she was trying to say. "Miki-sama, I mean if Miku-nii gives it trouble, let's be the first to help so that way we're no longer the ones who's underhanded."

I raised a brow. "Oh really? And what makes you so sure that it'll work?" I inquired.

She shrugged. "Well, I've got a pretty realistic voice, I'm based off a successful franchise, I've boosted up our popularity because of my release..."

"Go on," I urged, curious to where she was trying to go with this.

She got up from the couch that we were sitting on and looked at me square in the eye.

"What I'm trying to say is that maybe if it's as popular as Miku-nii, the way everybody is acting is what Meiko-sama, Kaito-san, Lola-sama, Sweet Ann-chan and Leon-san did for her. A big fuss meant that they knew it was going to get our name out there. Plus, it's from a well-known Company that's been around for a long time, whereas ours is still pretty new to everything."

I was slowly starting to catch on as I started nodding in agreement. It would explain for the lack of enthusiasm people had for when my "siblings" and I were released.

"If we can help them rise up and top Miku-nii off of the charts, wouldn't we also be accredited to helping it achieve its fame?"

She was beginning to grin and I slowly found myself doing the same.

"If we can do just that, by us having duets and such with it, it'll be overwhelmed with gratitude for what we've done for it and we'd be sure to be part of the major leagues!" she finished with a flourish thanks to her photon speakers. They started blasting out the sound of trumpets, causing the kids to jolt in their sleep.

"Dang it Iroha! Shut those stupid flying boxes with ears up!" Yuki growled, angrily eyeing at Iroha.

She blushed in embarrasment and mouthed, "Sorry!"

Yuki grumbled a bit more before finally resting her head on a pillow whereas Gachapoid looked at us with sleep-induced eyes. He was forcing them to stay open but surprised us with a question we didn't expect him to ask. "And what if it backfires?" he slurred and fell back asleep.

We stood there in silence, letting Gachapoid's question sink in.

He was right, who are we to assume that something like that would work. Plus, I felt bad for acting like we would be... using it for our own gain.

I shook my head to clear my thoughts and looked down at Iroha. "He's right, you know. We can't get too ahead of ourselves just because we think what we've thought of is for the best... for us that is."

Iroha heaved in a heavy sigh and curled up in a ball. "I know, it really was stupid of me to think that. I'm sorry, it was doomed to fail from the start..."

"No, no, no! It's not like that! Gachapoid isn't trying to sway your opinion on it, he's just suggesting an event that you and I didn't even bother considering. But doesn't it sound, you know, selfish of us to want all of that from one person?"

She nodded but still had the forlorn look on her face as she stood up. "I'm... I'm going to get a drink to go with my sweets. Need anything Miki-sama?"

I looked down at my hand. "I could use a napkin to wipe off the crumbs and such."

She left without another word while I let their words sink in. It was a good idea, Iroha has good intentions, but there's always the chance that it could brush our help aside. It was starting to get confusing and I decided to rest my head on a pillow while I started absent-mindedly chew on a brownie with melted chocolate on the inside.

Wait a sec... chocolate? I jumped up in a flash, like as if though I was struck with lightning, and tossed the brownie on the floor. I felt the bitter taste of bile rise up in my throat, Luka must have forgotten that I can't eat chocolate!

I jumped off of the chair, immediatley forgetting that I could have just transported myself to the restroom, and ran downstairs.

I head the doorbell ring, but I ignored it as I made my frantic journey to the room. Little did I know, I would have the biggest surprise in store.

It wasn't because I caught Iroha opening the door.

It wasn't because I caught sight of snow-white hair with a large cowlick bobbing up and down as that person walked.

It wasn't because I swore I had just heard the clearest, most melodic voice in ages.

It wasn't because of all of that.

It was the fact that in my haste, I had ran into him, knocking it over and having an impossible time trying to get off of it.

"Wh-what the? Get the hell off of me!" it screeched as it began to struggle trying to shove me off.

I didn't dare open my mouth, I was too scared to speak as a way to prevent a certain disaster from happening.

We both couldn't understand why we couldn't get away, that is, until we heard Iroha's giggling.

"Awww, that's so cute! Your ahoges are stuck together!"

Sure enough, we both looked up and saw that mine was hooked under it, at the curved of it that resembled a "P".

It's fingers started to try and slip ours out but ended up making it even worse as it started getting even more and more tangled into a knot.

It swore. Loudly. And a steady string of curses came flowing out of its mouth that would have even made Lily proud.

Iroha looked mortified. "P-Piko-kun, calm down, you're making it worse!"

Piko-kun? I thought. So he's a boy? I almost laughed, he looked so much like girl with his soft features, his hairstyle and the large circuitry-looking dress. In fact, it was pretty laughable on just how similar he looked...like...

...me?

"Get her off!" he cried and kicked me in the stomach.

Worst mistake. Ever.

Little did I know, I would have the biggest surprise in store.

It wasn't because I caught Iroha opening the door.

It wasn't because I caught sight of snow-white hair with a large cowlick bobbing up and down as that person walked.

It wasn't because I swore I had just heard the clearest, most melodic voice in ages.

It wasn't because of all of that.

It was because I emptied my stomach all over Piko's front.

AnimeMixDJ... are you some kind of psychic or something? I had that idea for the longest time since I sometimes view Gakupo as an unfortunate victim of circumstance. XD Or maybe I'm just too obvious... OTL

And yay! The chapter was longer! I know I know, very cliche way for Piko and Miki to meet, but eh, this was made months ago and I did have that idea. Just didn't type it in on time is all. ^^" Pfffffffffft, horrible writer right here! *points to self*

Another thing, don't ask why Miki can't eat chocolate, I've had this crazy thought that maybe she's allergic to chocolate and so she reacts pretty badly to it. Hence why she panicked when she ate the brownie and made a big fuss about it. I've always viewed her to have that inability to digest it or something. Again, don't ask, my mind is weird. XD

Anyways, review if you want, but they do make me happy! :3
