"Nee, since we have like, nothing to do and slacking around now, should we occupy ourselves with something?"

"If we sing a song... to Mizuno... maybe that might cheer her up."

"Maybe it'll cheer us up too!"

"Then that's decided! Someone switch on the computer!"

"Hey, shall we get to Nico Nico Douga for the songs?"


Miku's POV

Kakuyuugoro nisa~ Tobikonde mitai to~ Omou~

That song Meltdown... is the very first song we sang as a wakeup-call to wake Len up (in order to free Rin's right leg). I asked the Vocaloids whether we shall pick this song to sing again. All of them rejected, with different reasons.

For Gakupo, it was too high-pitched. He said he has difficulty breathing was we sang for Len when we're in the sickroom.

For Kaito, he says it was too loud and high-pitched. (Both he and Gakupo were matured at that time...)

For Meiko, she mentioned that the song IS sadistic. Luka added further detail: It is about a girl who commited suicide by diving into a nuclear reactor.

For Rin, it reminds her of that awkward scene in the hospital.

For Len... it was the worst wakeup-call he ever had. FOR NOW.

"Isn't there any motivational songs out there on Nico Nico Douga!" Kaito scratched his head.

"Just type things that are positive, BAKA!" Meiko smacked Kaito on the back, causing him to nearly spit out the ice-cream hejust delivered into his mouth.

"You're so clever, then you type!" Kaito stood up from the computer seat, with Meiko taking over.

Heehee, it was quite cute seeing them quarrel. Even at the hospital too.

But it was forbidden for me to spill out so, SHH!

"Hmm, can I type random words now..." Meiko's fingers were being random and before she knew it,'' appeared on the search bar.

"Meiko, what on earth are you doing?" Gakupo glanced over the keyboard.

"Is ''even a song title! AHAHAHA my stomach hurts!" Kaito collasped onto the floor, laughing until you can call him a crazy man.

Uh oh, Meiko's angry again~!

"Jeez... BA-KAito!" somehow Meiko managed to get a gigantic Paperfan (which was 60cm in length) from somewhere and slammed it on Kaito's... and send him flying to the end of the room, with a loudCRACK. Rin and Len looked in awe at Meiko, who's gloating over her victory now.

Meiko went back to the keyboard again. She typed 'happy faces', 'laughing' but all those songs that came out were... not so meaningful. Gumi jumped from the her sitting place and said: "It's always good to smile rather than frown right?"

That gave Luka an idea. She typed the words 'Smile' and 'Smiling'. She hit the 'Enter' key.

Guess what.

There IS such a song. 'Smiling'. We cheered with a "YEEEEEEESSSSSSS~~~~!" so loud that Mizuno nearly jumped from her bed due to shock from her room. She shouted: "What's with those shoutings?" We replied her with "Gomenasai~!"

Wee~ Gumi's really our saviour! 3 cheers for Gumi!

The song itself was ear-pleasing, cheerful and motivating too! But the problem is...

"How do we practise without getting caught by Mizuno-san? If she knows what we're doing now, is won't be a surprise anymore." Len asked with his forever kawaii tone.

"We can close the door and windows~ Switch off the fans~" Rin nudged Len with her elbow.

"Wait." Len paused, his eyes widened a little.

"Nani?" Everyone asked.

"If it's like what Rin said, won't we be smothered to death!" Len make it sound like the world is ending in a minute.

"Can't we just on the air-conditioner...?" My eyes were fixed on the machine at one of the top corners in the room. Everyone stared at Len, sweatdropping.

"Ahehehe... My fault my fault... hehe..." Len slowly retreated and attempted to run but was tripped over by Tako Luka's tentacles.

"MISSION~ COMPLETE!" Luka high-fived her chibi pet.

"Seriously why are boys so dense? Okay let's not mention Len being only 6 year old first but, Kaito! You're 11 right! Why is your brain that small as a peanut!" Meiko shook Kaito by grabbing on the shoulders, then settled him by pushing him on the floor.

I turned to Luka and asked her with a whisper: "Are they always like that?"

"Oh yes~ oh yes... So kawaii right?" Luka answered with a smile.

"Guys c'mon! We've been sidetracking for way too long!" Gumi looked at the clock and announced the time. "It's 4.30pm now! We only have 90 minutes left!"

Oh. Remember that epic chapter? 90 minutes. The same chapter that brought us together.

Before any of them could reply Gumi, the telephone rang. I picked up the phone.

"Mushi mushi?" I asked who's on the line.

"Maro maro~" did I just heard a gayish voice!

"Eeeeek!" I screamed in fear.

Gumi then snatched the phone from my hands.

"Oi! Just who are you!" Gumi shouted until the person on the other side of the line went deaf.

"Th-there's no need to shout that loud right... I'm Kiyoteru yours sincerely! Anyways could you hand over the phone to my mum? I need to speak with her." He pleaded on the phone.

"She's in a bad mood. Stop rubbing salt into her wounds."

"You mean she cried just now?" Kiyoteru asked.

"Ya, and you didn't even bother to concern her! What kind of son are you!" Gumi's volcano is near to the brink of eruption. Her eyes were already flaring red.

"Gumi... give me the phone."

All turned to face Gakupo, whose hand's stretched out.

"I'll talk to him." He winked at Gumi.

Gumi reluctantly handed the phone to the Samurai guy.

"Hey bookworm, I'll give you a chance to speak with your oka-san, but we have a deal."

"Shoot it out (And stop calling me bookworm!)."

"Well, you must sing a song with us."

"EH! How do I sing with all of you when... I'm already at home!"

"Don't lie, you're using your phone when you call. (Gakupo looks at the caller-id.) You could have used your house phone to make a call, so that you could save a few cents, iie? And reveal yourself. I know you sneaked right from your home with some kind of excuse right?"

"... Okay I surrender. You're a sharp one, samurai dude. And Lily's here with me along with her friend as well. They kept tailing me after Lily knew I was out again!" Kiyoteru received a punch from Lily on the face. Minor cracks could be heard (even from the phone!). A delicate laughter could be heard as well. "We'll come in. We're just outside the house."

"Enter silently. I'm sure you don't wanna disturb your oka-san."

Wow. How did Gakupo-kun know that Kiyoteru's just outside the house?


Author's words: Whew! Done. Looks like the Vocaloids are ready for action again! Would they be able to carry out the mission smoothly since they have the assistance from Kiyoteru and Lily (and the un-introduced friend)? Wait for next chapter~
