"What do you mean they have detention?!" Len said with a dropped jaw. "Rin I understand, but Hatsune-San!"

"You should know how their friendship works," Luka crossed her arms. "When one gets into trouble the other does the same so that they can keep each other company in detention."

Len sighed. "Looks like Kasane-San will have to wait until tomorrow to perform."

Luka shrugged. "Well I have to go. Since today's practice was cancelled I took up an extra shift at work."

"Bye, Luka-Nee."

Some time later Teto ran up the stairs and found Len in the halls. "Sorry I'm late!" she apologized.

"Don't worry about it," Len said, "Rin and Hatsune-San got detention so today was cancelled.

Teto snapped her fingers. "Dang it! And I was so looking forward to this!"

"Sorry," he said as he began to walk away. "I think I'm going to go home; I have a lot of homework."

"Ummm," Teto began, "would you mind walking me home? I'm afraid I might run into those bullies again."

Len didn't even have to think. "Sure."

Teto gave out a small "yay" and followed close behind Len. After they left the building Teto smacked her forehead. "I forgot my bag! Don't move, I'll be right back!"

Len gave a little laugh as he watched Teto run back into the building. He sat on the steps waiting for her when a few girls walked up. They were continuously flirting with him, and the blonde one was starting to get a little handsy. Len let out a yelp when his arm was grabbed from behind.

"I'm ready to go, Len-Nii-San!" Teto said as she took hold of his arm.

"Who's this?" the blonde girl asked.

"Who are you?" Teto shot back. "Len-Nii-San told me he was taking me out for ice cream; he didn't say anything about other girls joining!"

"Sorry," one of the girls said, "we'll leave now." The blonde one had to be dragged away, but the girls eventually left.

"Thanks," Len said, "I owe you one."

Teto's face brightened. "Then maybe you really can take me out for ice cream!"

Len reluctantly agreed and took Teto to the ice cream shop. After they ordered and began eating their ice cream Teto said "This is so good! Thanks for taking me out, Len-Nii-San. Is it okay if I call you 'Nii-San'? I like the way it sounds."

Len shrugged. "I don't mind." Then he noticed. "Hey, you're wearing your hair in pigtails."

Teto blushed slightly. "Miku-Onee-Chan was so brave fighting off those bullies that I wanted to be more like her."

"Hatsune-San can be rather ditzy at times and can be a total air head so I don't think you want to be too much like her," Len said. "But she has a good heart and will stand up for anybody. Actually, Rin and Hatsune-San became friends after she saved Rin from being bullied."

"I think Rin-Chan did say something like that," Teto said thinking back to yesterday.

Len nodded. "Both were bullied really bad in junior high so neither of them can stand to see others bullied."

"I never would've guessed," Teto said. "Hey, Len-Nii-San, why do you call Miku-Onee-Chan 'Hatsune-San'? You two are friends, aren't you? So why not call her by her given name?"

Len shrugged. "Just can't say it, I guess."

"Say it with me. Mi-Ku," Teto said.

"Kasane-Chan, I-"

"Say it with me!" Teto ordered. "Mi-Ku." Len said it with Teto a few times. "Now say it on your own," she said.

"Mi-Ku," Len said.

"More fluently."

"Miku."

"Perfect!" Teto exclaimed, gaining everybody in the shop's attention. Ignoring the stares she was receiving, Teto said, "Now what are you going to call Miku-Onee-Chan?"

"Miku-San," Len answered.

"No, no, no, no, no," Teto waved her finger. "Call her Miku-CHAN. It sounds much cuter."

"Miku-Chan," Len said.

"There you go," Teto laughed. "Now next time you see her call her by that name."

Len said nothing but slowly nodded his head. He had a hard time calling Miku by her given name because each time he tried he felt his tongue swell up.

After they had finished Len began to walk Teto home. "Thanks for today, Len-Nii-San!" she said. "I had a lot of fun."

"You're welcome," Len smiled. "Maybe if Rin and Hatsune-San-"

"Miku-Chan," Teto corrected him.

"Miku-Chan," he corrected, "don't get into trouble tomorrow then maybe you can finally show us how good you are. Luka-Nee said that if you're really good she might let you play the drums while she plays something else."

"I don't want to feel like I'm replacing her," Teto said.

"It's okay," Len told her. "Luka-Nee can play both the piano and the guitar, that will give whoever's singing more freedom to move around because she won't be behind an instrument."

"Okay," Teto said. "That sounds like a good rotation plan! But what about you? Aren't you going to sing?"

Len shrugged his shoulders. "I guess I could, but I'm not really up for it."

"Why not?" Teton asked.

"Don't know," Len answered. "I'm just not that good of a singer, I guess."

"Len!" Rin's voice rang.

"Kagamine-Kun!" Miku's.

"Teto-Chan!" both.

"Miku-Onee-Chan! Rin-Chan!" Teto called. Both girls ran up to them.

"Got out early, I see," Len said. "What did you two do?"

"I punched a girl for calling you a pervert," Rin said. "If anything you should be proud of that one."

"And I," Miku declared, "got detention for punching the same girl because she called Rin-Chan a 'demon from the underworld,'" Miku said the last part in a deep voice. She then giggled and said in her normal tone, "Rin-Chan stuck up for you and I for Rin-Chan, so I think we can't be called total trouble makers."

"You two are so brave," Teto said.

"Not really," Rin waved. "We just did what anyone would do."

"So what's up with you two?" Miku asked. "Why are you guys here."

"I made Len-Nii-San take me out for ice cream!" Teto cheered.

"What about us?" Rin said.

"Maybe if we don't get detention tomorrow we can make Kagamine-Kun treat us," Miku joked. She then winked at him. "Would that be all right, Kagamine-Kun."

"Y-yes, M-M-M-" Teto bumped Len to make him say it. "Miku-Chan!"

Miku's face brightened with a smile. "You said my name!" She gave him a tight hug. "You said my name! Len-Kun said my name!" She bounced up and down as she sang the words over and over.

Len's face began to turn red. "If you squeeze me any tighter I don't think I'll ever be able to say it again!" he managed to gasp out.

Miku quickly dropped her arms, "Sorry Len-Kun." She ruffled his hair, "I knew we were friends! Now say my name again!"

It came out easier the second time. "Miku-Chan."

Miku's smile grew. "Now don't ever call me 'Hatsune-San' ever again. Got it?" Len nodded. Miku hugged him then hugged Rin and Teto as well. "I have to go, bye guys."

When Miku left, Rin looked at Teto and said "What did you say to my brother to make him call Miku-Chan by her given name?"

"My little secret," Teto winked. She knew a lot more than she was willing to say.
