"That was so awesome! I have never been able to get past that crowd like you did!" Lenka told Yumi as their group walked to the cafeteria for lunch.

"You ACTUALLY got through that big-ass crowd?" Rinto asked.

"Yeah. I had to shove my way through, though." Yumi said.

"Wow. I'd never be able to shove my way through. They'd have shoved me back out." Rinto said as they sat down at their table.

Rin was about to say something when someone called Rinto's name. The whole group looked to see a red haired boy running towards them. The boy was followed by a short, blonde haired boy.

"Hey, Akaito. Hey, Ollie." Rinto said to the two boys.

"I told you not to call me that!" The blonde said, scowling. "It's Oliver."

"Whatever, Ollie. I don't care."

Oliver glared at the boy before sitting down at the table. Akaito sat down too. They both noticed Yumi right away. Oliver opened his mouth to say something when Akaito burst out his introduction. "Hi! I'm Akaito!"

"Hi." Yumi said, smiling politely. She observed the red head, who's hair was a bright scarlet. Akaito wore an Avengers T-shirt, jeans, and sneakers.

Oliver sent a death glare Akaito's way before introducing himself. "My name's Oliver." Oliver wore a dull brown T-shirt, dull jeans, and hiking boots. Over his eye were some bandages. Oliver also wore a choker necklace with a bird charm attached to it.

"Nice to meet you." To Yumi, Oliver was a bit timid but friendly. Akaito, on the other hand, was loud and obnoxious. He was friendly though. "Why did Rinto call you Ollie?"

"Supposedly it's a 'joke' between me, Rinto, Akaito, Gumo, and Yumo." Oliver said, putting air quotes around "joke".

"I don't call him that though." Yumo said. "The other three do."

"Yeah, and it's annoying." Oliver said, sighing, while getting out his lunch.

Yumi almost forgot that her lunch was still in her backpack. She pulled it out and looked at it. It was perfect condition. Yumi began to eat her lunch with Yumo occasionally taking pieces of it.


The next day, there was a flyer hung near the main office. A group of kids had formed there when Yumi had gotten to school. As soon as the group had diminished, she went up to the flyer and read it. "Drama club?"

"Never had one at your old school before?" A voice asked behind her.

Yumi turned around to see Lenka standing next to her. "Yeah. I was more into sports than singing and dancing when I was at my old school." Yumi said.

"Well, I'm thinking of joining. You should join too!"

"Oh, hell no!"

"Pleeaaseee? Yumo is joining. So are Akaito, Rinto, and Len."

"There's nothing for me to do there!"

"You could do stage crew! Yumo to me that you're a really good artist and painter!"

Yumi turned away and took a deep breath.

"Pleeaaseee?" Lenka made puppy eyes at Yumi.

"... Fine... I'll go..." Yumi breathed out.

"Yay!" Lenka hugged Yumi with excitement.

They signed the flyer and walked off to their homerooms.


"You joined the Drama club?"

"Yeah. Lenka wanted me to."

"Now I can mess with you when we're there." Yumo said, ruffling his sister's hair.

"I swear to God, if you touch something I'm painting or mess me up, I'll kill you." Yumi swatted her brother's hand away.

"Whatever. Race ya home. I'm going to beat you this time." Yumo ran off, laughing.

"In your dreams!" Yumi called to Yumo after passing him.

When they got home, both of them were out of breath. Yumi opened the door and the two walked in. They threw their backpacks onto their living room couch. Yumo walked over to kitchen and got a drink. "Damn. I keep forgetting you're faster than me."

"Well, duh. I was the fastest out of my track team and my soccer team." Yumi said, going to her room. She flopped down onto her bed and sighed.

Yumo stood in the doorway. "Stop bragging."

"I'm not bra-." Just then, Yumi's phone rang. She pulled it out and looked at it.

"What is it?"

"It's Rin. She wanted to know if I wanted to sleep over. Rin already asked her parents and they said it was okay as long as mom and dad are okay with it." Yumi said, sitting up. "I'm going to ask them right now."

After all that was taken care of, Yumi texted Rin back saying her parents said yes. Yumi packed a small bag with clothes and other stuff. "Hey, could you walk me over there?" She asked Yumo.

"Sure. You ready?"

Yumi swung the bag over her one shoulder. "Yup. I'm ready."

The two left their house, Yumi locking the door. She gave Yumo the key and the two started walking to Rin's house.


Yumi knocked on the door as soon as they got there. The door opened, revealing a smiling Rin. "Hey, guys!"

"Hey, Rin." Yumi said, walking into her house.

"Would you like to come in too, Yumo?" Rin asked.

"No thanks. I have stuff to do. I'll see you tomorrow, sis." Yumo said, starting to walk back.

"Alright. See ya, bro." Yumi said back. She then turned to Rin. "Why'd you suddenly want me to sleep over? I'll admit, it surprised me."

"Lenka wanted you to sleep over, too. Our parents are going out tonight and we didn't want to be left alone with Thing 1 and Thing 2. Especially Thing 2."

Yumi snickered. "You call Len and Rinto 'Thing 1' and 'Thing 2'?"

"Yeah. They're boys so they're things."

"I call Yumo 'demon spawn'." Yumi said, laughing. "Then again, he retaliates by calling me 'Satan's daughter'."

Rin laughed, snorting a little. She led Yumi to the living room, where Len and Rinto were playing video games, yelling at each other. "You can take your shoes off and leave them there." Rin said, pointing to a spot on the floor. Six pairs of shoes sat there.

Yumi nodded, taking off her shoes and placing them next to one of the pairs on the floor. She was just about to ask where Lenka was when the long haired blonde appeared in the room. "Oh! Yumi, you're here already! C'mon, my parents want to meet you."

Lenka grabbed Yumi's wrist and led/dragged her to the kitchen, then to the dining room. At the dining room table sat a woman with golden blonde hair and dark blue eyes. Next to her sat a man with blonde hair that looked white and crystal blue eyes. The woman looked up and smiling when she saw Lenka and Yumi standing there. "You must be Yumi."

"Y-Yes, Ma'am." Yumi said, nodding a bit. She could feel her stomach flip with nervousness.

Both the man and the woman laughed. "You don't have to be so nervous, my dear. We won't bite." The man told her, standing up. "I'm Lenka's father, Ryu, but you've probably already figured that out." "And I'm Lenka's mother, Rei." The woman said, holding her hand out to Yumi.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. and Mrs. Kagamine." Yumi said, shaking their hands.

"You don't have to be so formal around them, Yumi." Lenka told her. "Just call them by their first name. That's what they tell everyone."

"I'll try. It'll take me a while to get used to it."

"We might as well get going." Rei said, looking at a watch around her wrist. "The movie starts soon." She hugged Lenka, giving her a kiss on the top of her head. "I'll see you later tonight. Have fun and try not to trouble your brothers."

"Yes, mom. Okay, mom." Lenka said with a goofy grin.

Rei laughed as she walked away. Ryu also said goodbye to Lenka before leaving. As soon as both parents were gone, Lenka turned to Yumi and smiled evilly. "Time to have some fun."


Sorry about the super long wait, everyone. I was trapped in a writer's block for a long time. Plus, school was being troublesome. To make up for my absence, here's a super duper long chapter (though it might not be THAT long). Enjoy and keep your eyes out for the next chapter!
