No time for my usual "Hi hi~" greeting, no time for author's notes, let's get to that disclaimer! This is going to be a relatively short chappy.

NERU AND MIKUO MAKE AN APPEARANCE HOLY CRAPMUFFINS

DISCLAIMER: Dis claimer claims dat I don't own Vocaloid.


"Okay, Flying Purple Ninja Pikachus—"

"Pigs."

"Pigs. Let us go over our progress in this meeting and discuss what needs to be done," Rin stated, all business.

Gumi counted on her fingers. "We've gotten Luka-san and Onii-chan together, as well as Kaito-kun and Miku-chan."

Iroha continued, "So that means that in terms of future, we still need to pair up Miki and Piko, Mizki and Yuuma, and Lily and Kiyoteru. Officially," she added.

"Hmm…" Rin said, making her Thinking Face. She exhaled and turned to her teammates. "I say it's too much to do! We need a secret weapon!"

Gumi and Iroha repeated in astonishment, "A secret weapon?"

Rin giggled, "Yes! That whole Miku Kaito on the beach thing gave me an idea! Let's convince Meiko-chan to let us go on a vacation to that beach house we own! It's still the summer, and we oughta do some fun stuff before Vocaloid 3 comes and takes all the glory."

"Why are we going to the vacation house?" Iroha asked.

"Because there'll be better stuff to do there. It'll be like a… family thing. We'll get better chances. Look, it doesn't matter! Pudding-chan thinks it's a good idea, so we're doing it, gosh darn it!"

Gumi looked at her strangely, "Pudding-chan?"

A short girl with brown hair and orange bows in her hair appeared through the wall and smacked Rin upside the head. "Bad Rin-chan! No breaking the fourth wall!"

~~~The days are longer, the Nights are Shorter, the Sun is Shining, it's Noticeably Warmer~~~

"You want to go to that old place?"

"Yes, that is exactly what I just suggested," Rin replied to Meiko.

"Hmm…" the older Vocaloid thought while sipping some sake. "I don't see why not… It's been a while since we've had a nice vacation. Let's do it!"

"Wahoo!" Rin squealed.

"Tell everyone to pack up, kay? We'll leave tomorrow morning."

"Crap, that fast?" Iroha asked, shocked.

~~~Told you this was a short chapter~~~

As Rin watched Len pile her stuff into the van for her, she couldn't help but notice that there were some unfamiliar bags in the pile.

"Hey, Len?"

"—Oof—what, Rin?" Len asked while trying to shove the duffel into Meiko's trunk.

"Whose is the yellow bag?"

"…Mine?"

"No, the one with the cell phone on… oh crap."

"Lenny-kun~" Neru Akita flung herself onto the object of her undivided obsession. "Meiko-san said that I could come with you guys to the trip, isn't that wonderful?"

Rin's face flushed with anger. Meiko was getting it in the car.

"Th-that's great, Neru," Len said nervously, "Now can you get off me? Please?"

Neru pouted, but obeyed. "Haku's gonna come, too. And," she held up her fingers, "Mikuo, Luki, Sweet Ann, Leon, and Lola."

Len let out a sigh of relief. Haku was going to be there. Thank god.

Rin yelled out, "Who invited the Genderbends? This trip is for real Vocaloids only!"

"Wow, somebody's racist," a voice said as someone put an arm around Rin's shoulder.

"M-Mikuo! Cut that out, you leek-wielding pervert!"

"Nice to see you too, Rinny," the teal-haired boy said and winked, causing Rin to blush and look away.

Len's face flushed with anger. Meiko was getting it in the car.

Meiko picked up a megaphone and called out, "Kay, everyone here? The car assignments are as so; Car A driven by me is Kaito, Miku, Rin, Len, Iroha, Mikuo and Neru."

Iroha groaned, knowing she was going to die in the two hours it took to get to the beach house.

"Car B," Meiko continued, "Driven by Kiyoteru is going to be Yuki, Lily, Miki and Piko."

Miki and Yuki high-fived each other and glomped their "older brother", happy that they'd all be in the same car group.

"Car C driven by Luka contains Gakupo, Gumi, Ryuto, Haku and Luki."

Gakupo's face brightened when he heard that he'd be in the same car as his girlfriend, but then noticed Luki's death stare.

"And Mizki and Yuuma will be with the Engloids in Sweet Ann's car," Meiko added.

Lola made a "woot!" and did a fist pump, gaining a couple laughs. Leon facepalmed, embarrassed by his female counterpart's behavior. (A/N: They are counterparts, right? Cuz I just kind of figured…)

"Okay, everyone, pile in!"

And thus, the five-part saga The Car Ride From Hell began…


The Car Ride From Hell shall be told from several viewpoints. Cars A, B, C, D, and not telling you what the last one is :3.

But it'll be good, I can tell you that much. It'll be very good… I have so many amazing ideas I cannot wait to execute. Execute… hm.

Question of da chappy: Do you think Luki deserves a love interest? If so, who? Please don't say Mikuo, I've got nothing against yaoi, but he's already got a love interest. Muahahaha.


Guys, I promise you I will upload the next chapter a whole hell of a lot sooner if I get more reviews. It couldn't hurt, right? And thank you to my awesome people who review almost every chapter! I like them best XP. JK! But seriously.

Today I will be talking about something serious. REVIEWS. Everyday at least sixty-five fan fiction authors die of review deprivation. Please do your part to end this epidemic and review a story. Preferably mine.

REVIEW. It makes a difference.
