Hi hi~ So, now that the Vocaloids've all gotten to the vacation house, Rin's gonna get to work with the couples! First off, VY1 and VY2…
Thank you to all my reviewers! I'm sick with a fever today, so I missed one of two days when I get out of school at 12:10 (AAARRGGHH). I'm still stuffy…
DUDE, I JUST FIGURED OUT BY EAR HOW TO PLAY JAPANESE NINJA NO. 1, KARAKURI PIERROT, HELLO/ HOW ARE YOU, AND KASANE TERRITORY ON PIANO! It's actually easier for me. I always have to ask my mom what the sharps and flats mean ¬.¬
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Vocaloid. What, were you hoping for some other weird thing that I always say? Gosh, Judgy the Expectant-pus.
Rin POV for once…
We were within five minutes of the beach house! Finally! Those just had to be by far the most awkward two hours of my life. But can you get Neru! She's drooling over Len like he's… I don't know, some new futuristic iPhone or something!
…I thought it was a good analogy for her. This is Neru Akita we're talking about.
She really should take a hint though. It's obvious Len doesn't like her, I don't like her AT ALL, and everyone else thinks she's a creepy obsessed fan girl stalker! And she is! Even the Vocaloid Fan Fiction Miki showed me portrayed her as a bitch most of the time. I also noticed that most of them were about Len and me. And Miku was usually also a bitch. I'm getting off topic.
I. Hate. Neru. Akita. Period. Not much more to it.
"Gee, thanks Kagamine-san, love you too," I looked up and saw Neru glaring at me.
I stuck my tongue out at her, and she turned back around, texting. I nervously tapped Len on the shoulder, waking him up.
"…Muh? Rin?"
"Len, how much of that did I say out loud?"
"… Rin, I was asleep."
"… Y-Yeah, and?" I said awkwardly. How would you respond to something like that? Oh yeah, you probably wouldn't make the same mistake, huh. Go die in a hole or something.
"What if I don't want to die in a hole?" Len asked.
I stared at him, "Okay, how much of thatdid I say out loud?"
Len shrugged and looked out the window, "Only the die-in-a-hole part. But you do that a lot, don't you?"
"Do what? Die in a hole?"
"Think out loud."
"… I do?"
Len snickered, "Yeah. Hey, how far are we from getting there?"
I looked over to Mikuo, who was asleep, and picked up his wrist, to check his watch. "We should be there in about a few minutes or so."
"Good," Len stretched a bit.
I leaned forward to tease the happy couple a bit. I motioned at my brother to join me. Miku was asleep on Kaito's shoulder, and Kaito rested his head on her head. They were holding hands. I tried to hold back a squeal. I failed.
I took a deep breath in and yelled, "WHAT'S THAT LEN! THERE'S A LARGE SUPPLY OF GOURMET LEEKS AT THE LOCAL FARMER'S MARKET?"
Suddenly Miku's eyes shot open and she sat straight up, wide-awake. Poor Kaito's head was caught in the collision.
"Leeks? Leeks, I heard leeks!" Miku squealed happily.
"The leeks are a lie!" Len yelled, referring to Portal.
"Miku-chan, you have a hard head!" Kaito whined.
"OI, ALL OF YOU STOP YOUR BITCHING AND GET YOUR ASSES OUT OF MY CAR!" Meiko yelled, clearly still pissed off at us for the fight we had earlier in the ride.
"It was Rin!" Iroha woke up with a start. She looked around sleepily. "Oh, look at that, we're here."
~~~Being sick=feeling like you're gonna pass out at 8:00~~~
Okay, so this scene is going to be repeated in several people's POVs. We shall start with my favorite, Miki!
"Alright, ladies, we're here. And Piko," Kiyokiyo sighed as he parked his car.
I giggled. Poor Piko-chu's always being mistaken for a girl…
Yuki-chi had a hard time pushing open the car doors, but managed to get it done after a few tries. She ran out of the car screaming "Freeeeeeedooooom!" and started rolling around in the lawn. She was just cuter than a teddy bear wrapped in puppies!
I crawled over Piko (to see if I could fluster him a bit :3) and opened his door to run out too. "Yuki-chi!" I yelled over the wind. "Look, that's the beach over there!"
Yuki sat up and looked to where I was pointing. "Wowee!" she said, "That's the ocean? It's so big~"
I laughed, "Yeah." I walked over and sprawled out on the grass next to her. "This is your first time here, huh? You couldn't come last summer since you had to welcome Lily-chi with Kiyokiyo."
"I still think you should've done it," she stuck her tongue out at me. Overwhelmed by her cuteness, I glomped her and giggled.
It's a Vocaloid tradition that the two newest releases will go to Documents to bring the newest member home. Meaning Piko-chu and Yuu-kun would have to pick up the new Vocaloid 3's. Oh how I pity them.
"Oh!" Yuki pulled on my dress and pointed, "Look!"
Meiko's car was pulling up next to Kiyoteru's. Iroha got out as fast as she could and hugged me.
"Miki, I thought I was gonna die!"
I giggled and patted her head, "Don't worry, Iroha-nyan, it's all over now."
"Not quite," Meiko said as she got out of her car, "We're having the same groups on the way back as well."
"Oh no," Iroha groaned.
"Hey! Miki-chan!" I looked past Iroha's head and saw Luki there, waving.
"Hi, Luki-kun!" I yelled back. He ran up to our little AHS-loid Trio and smiled.
"Finally made it, huh?" he sat down.
"Yeah," I responded, brushing my bangs out of my face from the wind, "How was Car C?"
"Mediocre, I guess," Luki shrugged.
"Where's Gumi?" Iroha asked.
"Miki! Iroha-chan!" Gumi ran up, panting.
"Jeez, Gumi, you don't need to wear yourself out just running up to meet us," Luki said bluntly.
Gumi blushed, "I-I-I… I hadn't…"
As her proud best friend and roommate, I kind of knew that she just didn't think about it. She does that a lot. But it's cute.
Another car with the license "SWEDENPWNS" on it pulled up. I figured that was the car Yuu-kun and Ki-chan had gone in. And I was right, as a matter of fact.
"Whoa!" I heard Kiyoteru's voice from his car.
"What the hell are you two doing here!" Lily's voice rang out as I covered Yuki's ears.
Yuki and I ran over to see what the commotion was about. Rin, Len, Mizki, Mikuo and Piko had beaten us there.
And there, sitting in the trunk, where our luggage should've been, were Teto and Ted.
"T-Teto-chi?" I asked.
She smiled at me happily, "Hiya, Miki-chan! Don't worry, I put your bags in Meiko-chan's trunk~"
"Oh, okay," I said, satisfied. Yuki and I walked away from the scene that was still going on.
~~~Music Box version of Mozaik Role= Fudging Beautiful~~~
Mikuo POV
I was woken up when Rin picked up my wrist, apparently to check the time. Then I really woke up when she yelled something about gourmet leeks.
Turns out she and Len were just trying to mess with Kaito and my sister. Ugh.
I don't know what Len has against me, so what if I flirt with his "sister" a little bit? Talk about a complex… and I do have feelings for her… I mean, what would you expect me to do?
Yeah, not flirting isn't an option. I'm Mikuo freaking Hatsune. I have a reputation to keep for cryin' out loud!
"OI, ALL OF YOU STOP YOUR BITCHING AND GET YOUR ASSES OUT OF MY CAR!" Meiko screeched. Man, that bitch could hold a grudge…
"It was Rin!" Iroha practically jumped out of her seat. "Oh, look at that, we're here."
Meiko parked the car and I saw Miki and Yuki rolling on the grass and pointing at the ocean. This was Yuki's first time coming here, wasn't it?
Iroha shot out of the car like a bullet and glomped Miki, babbling something about dying. I managed to catch Meiko saying that we were having the same car groups on the way back.
YES I'M WITH MY RINNY-CHAN~
"So I guess that means we'll be together on the way back, too," I said to Rin seductively. She blushed,
"Y-Yeah, I guess so…" God, she was so cute.
"Hey," Len glared at me. I wasn't intimidated at all. Who would be?
(A/N: Oh Mikuo, you should fear the wrath of Magical Kitty Len Len. I know I do. And if you've never seen it, it's hilarious. Especially if you get the Sailor Moon reference [Mysterious Scarf FTW! X3])
"What?" I asked, annoyed at his interference.
"Don't flirt with her."
"Feh."
"I-I'm gonna go talk to Mizki!" Rin stuttered suddenly, running towards Sweet Ann's car that had just parked.
Len and I had a stare-down for a bit. If this were an anime (which it totally isn't!) there would be satanic flames behind us and one of those weird zappy things between our eyes.
"Whoa!"
Len and I turned our heads and ran over to where Kiyoteru had just apparently crapped his pants.
Rin and Mizki were just as eager to see what was going on, as was Piko, by the looks of it.
Teto and Ted Kasane were sitting in the trunk of Kiyoteru's BMW. Like it was perfectly normal.
"What the hell are you two doing here!" Lily screamed.
Miki ran up and poked her head around Len.
"T-Teto-chi?" she stammered nervously.
Teto wore this goofy grin, waved, and said, "Hiya, Miki-chan! Don't worry, I put your bags in Meiko-chan's trunk~"
And Miki actually seemed satisfied with that answer. One "Oh, okay" and she and Yuki were off to check out the house.
"What are you guys doing here?" Mizki asked, crossing her arms.
Ted glared at Teto, "It was Teto-chan's idea…"
"Love you too, Ted. See you in Hell," Teto stuck her tongue out childishly, "We stowed away because we wanted to come to the beach house with you guys!"
"Well you didn't have to stow away in the freaking trunk of Kiyoteru's car!" Piko yelled.
Rin sighed, "Seriously, Teto-chan, you had to stow away in the trunk this time?"
Lily stared at her in shock, "Wait, what?"
I started to explain, "The Vocaloids come here most summers. This is only my second time coming here—"
"Because you're a Genderbend," Len sneered.
"—But last time when we got here, Teto was already waiting in the kitchen that she'd destroyed trying to make a meal."
"Poptarts are complicated!" Teto complained, "You have to unwrap them, and then heat them up! And I didn't even know how to use a microwave!"
"You know you can eat them without heating them up," Len pointed out.
"Seriously!" Teto seemed genuinely shocked at this news.
"But Mikuo pretty much summed it up," Rin said, "Every year Teto finds some way to join us. And I guess this year she brought Ted-kun…"
"This is all your guys' first time here, though, so you wouldn't know that," Len said.
"Wow, that's…" Kiyoteru started, not quite knowing what to say.
"Genius?" Teto asked proudly.
"Weird," Mizki finished.
"Creepy," Piko tried.
"Stupid!" Lily yelled.
"Shut up, nobody likes you anyway! And besides, we can't leave now. We spent two whole hours in that trunk; you think we're going anywhere at this point?" Teto pointed out.
Meiko walked over holding her luggage, "Oh, so you did come, Teto-chan. Hi Ted. Why don't you all come inside and we'll discuss room assignments and the like."
Piko looked genuinely shocked, "Are all these people crazy!"
"I learned the answer to that a while ago, Piko-kun," Mizki said unenthusiastically. "Let's just go inside now."
~~~Queen Miku's a weirdo. She gets a nosebleed and runs away~~~
Piko POV
"Alright, ladies, we're here," Kiyoteru sighed, parking his car. I coughed, and he added, "And Piko."
Miki giggled. Well isn't that just embarrassing.
And before you ask, NO, I don't like Miki. And she doesn't like me in that way, either. I know that for a fact.
… Yuki just ran out of the car screaming "Freedom"… that kid is just weird. But Miki and Kiyoteru seem to like her plenty.
"Yuki-chi!" Miki yelled as she crawled over me to get out my door. I felt myself blush. Don't ask why.
But seriously, did she have to crawl over me? Couldn't she have gone through Yuki's door?
"Look, that's the beach over there!" Miki pointed to the ocean.
I got out of the car and closed the door. The ocean… it was big, I'll give it that much.
"Wowee! That's the ocean?" Yuki squealed, "It's so big~"
Miki laughed and lay down next to her on the lawn. They started talking.
"Utatane-san, Lily-san, can you help me carry in the luggage?" Kiyoteru asked, about to open the trunk.
"Oh, sure," I replied. I saw Meiko's car pull up and Iroha dash out to hug Miki. I raised my eyebrows. That was definitely new. Some of the girls have been acting weird lately…
Luka and Gakupo had parked and were approaching. Gakupo waved at me,
"Piko, my man! How goes it!"
"Alright, I guess," I shrugged.
Luka had parked across the street for lack of room in the parking lot. Luki had dumped most of the bags onto Gumi, who had blushed and nodded, shifting the sleeping Ryuto to her other arm, and Haku, who looked ready to kick his ass. Luki ran across the street and past Gakupo and Luka he waved to Miki and called out,
"Hey! Miki-chan!"
Miki looked over and smiled when she saw him. "Hi, Luki-kun!" she called back.
Luki smirked at me and ran over to the little trio of female AHS-loids.
Why did he… I thought. What does he have against me?
"Miki! Iroha-chan!" Gumi yelled out while running, bag-free. She was panting like nobody's business. Luki probably made some sort of smart-ass comment to her that made her blush.
"Whoa!" Kiyoteru said next to me. I looked to my left and almost screamed.
"What the hell are you two doing here!" Lily exclaimed.
Teto and Ted chuckled nervously.
"T-Teto-chi?" Miki asked, trotting over.
"Hiya Miki-chan! Don't worry, I put your bags in Meiko-chan's trunk~"
"Oh, okay," Miki said happily.
She was just weird sometimes. But she was cute.
Cute? What?
"What are you guys doing here?" Mizki asked, crossing her arms.
Ted glared at Teto, "It was Teto-chan's idea…"
"Love you too, Ted. See you in Hell," Teto stuck her tongue out childishly, "We stowed away because we wanted to come to the beach house with you guys!"
"Well you didn't have to stow away in the freaking trunk of Kiyoteru's car!" I yelled. What kind of messed up person does that?
Rin sighed, "Seriously, Teto-chan, you had to stow away in the trunk this time?"
Lily stared at her in shock, "Wait, what?"
My reaction exactly.
Mikuo, Rin and Len explained how Teto managed to hitch a ride to the beach house every time the other Vocaloids came. These were some pretty weird people I lived with…
"Wow, that's…" Kiyoteru started, not quite knowing what to say.
"Genius?" Teto asked proudly.
"Creepy," I said at the same time as others putting in their input.
"Shut up, nobody likes you anyway! And besides, we can't leave now. We spent two whole hours in that trunk; you think we're going anywhere at this point?" Teto pointed out. I groaned. I knew where this was going.
Meiko walked over holding her luggage, "Oh, so you did come, Teto-chan. Hi Ted. Why don't you all come inside and we'll discuss room assignments and the like."
I thought, "Are all these people crazy?"
"I learned the answer to that a while ago, Piko-kun," Mizki said, sounding bored. "Let's just go inside now."
… I said that out loud, didn't I. That seems to be a habit that Miku, Rin and I all have.
~~~In honor of Mipiko's idea of Piko, I'm drawing a picture in which Piko flips us off & says "I dare ya to call me a f***in shota!"~~~
Gumi POV
"Okay everyone, we're at the vacation house," Luka called back to the rest of us. I was pretty much the only one who hadn't passed out in the car. Gakupo-nii, Ryuto, Luki, Haku, they all fell asleep halfway through the ride.
"Gakupo, wake up," Luka flicked Gakupo on the head and he shot awake, somewhat frightened. Luki and I giggled.
"Whatcha readin'?" Luki tapped my manga.
He was talking to me? Wow. "Full Moon Wo Sagashite. I brought all seven volumes and my Maximum Ride manga!" I said proudly.
Luki snickered a bit, "Nice," he said.
I frowned, my stutter resurfacing, "W-What do you mean n-nice? S-Sarcastic nice or, or compliment nice?"
"Just nice," he replied, smiling.
"What?"
"It means he's having fun messing with you, Gumi," Luka said, opening the trunk.
I picked up Ryuto, who was still asleep, and scooted out of the car from the back seat.
"Why didn't we park in the driveway?" Haku asked, half-asleep.
"Because there isn't enough room for all the cars; Ann needs a place to park too, ya know," Luka replied.
"Luka-chan, you're so generous," Gakupo said, batting his eyelashes.
Luki shot Gakupo a death glare and Luka rolled her eyes.
"Luki, Gumi, Haku, can you guys deal with the luggage please?" she asked nonchalantly.
"U-Um, sure, I guess," I said, shifting Ryuto from my back to my hip. He made a muffled "mph", but stayed asleep.
(A/N: Excuse the interruptions this chapter. But WHOA, SUDDENLY MPH IS A WORD? Oh, it probably stands for something. Magical Pink Horsies.)
(Emi just told me that mph stands for miles per hour. Kids, this is why you never listen to what I say. EMI'S THE SMART ONE!)
Luki looked over to the beach house and I saw his face light up slightly. I matched where he was looking and saw Iroha hugging Miki and Yuki rolling around on the grass. Does everybody have a crush but Iroha and me?
"H-Hey, Gumi, you think you can take some of my bags?" he asked.
"U-Uh, sure, I guess," I stammered, blushing and shifting Ryuto's position once again.
"Haku-chan, can you take Gakupo's too? Thanks, love ya," he said and ran across the street to go and talk to Yuki (I assume).
"Son of a bitch…" Haku mumbled.
"What?"
"You realized he just ditched us with his fair share of work just to go and talk to his crush."
"Yuki? That's a little inappropriate."
Haku shook her head, "No, Miki! He's had his eye on her for a while, but you don't really talk to us fake Vocaloids much, do you?"
"Um, uh, I… no," I admitted.
"You better make a drastic move then, if you're interested in him," she said casually, walking away with the luggage.
I blushed and ran after her, "W-What? Haku-chan, I d-don't like him! Well, I-I mean I l-like him, b-but not like like him like him!"
Ryuto woke up and started whining a bit.
"Really?" Haku stopped walking and shifted her weight to her right hip, "From the way you act around him, I could've sworn you were into him. Oh, I get it," she stated, a smile forming.
"You're in denial, aren't you!"
"W-What? No!" I fiddled with my goggles, "The thought never occurred to me until you brought it up just now!"
"And now that you've thought about it?" Haku asked suggestively.
"H-Haku-chan!" I yelled, blushing.
"Whatevah," she waved a hand as she walked into the house. "But if you are interested, then you better do something soon."
"H-Haku-chan…" I murmured. I set down the bags (and Ryuto) on the front porch and looked over to where Luki was. He was sitting and talking with Miki and Iroha. Remembering that Piko (supposedly) also had a crush on Miki, I glanced to Piko's place near Kiyoteru's car and had to stifle a few giggles. He looked like he was subconsciously drooling over Miki. It was quite a sight.
"Miki! Iroha-chan!" I hollered as I ran from the porch to my friends, panting. My physical condition isn't the best, I know.
"Jeez, Gumi, you don't need to wear yourself out just running up to meet us," Luki said bluntly, raising an eyebrow.
My goodness I'm dumb! He's absolutely right! Why did I even run here in the first place! I didn't think it through! Does everybody else always think through simple things like this or is it just me who couldn't process information that fast?
"I-I-I… I hadn't…" I said, blushing that I had completely embarrassed myself.
We heard Kiyoteru interject from his car. Miki and Yuki walked over to check it out. I stayed with Iroha and Luki. The silence was… quite awkward.
"So…" I started out, trying to smile.
"What do you think's up with Kiyoteru-san?" Iroha asked.
"Dunno," Luki said.
An idea popped into my head, "I bet it's Teto-chan again. She usually tags along on this trip someway or another. She did back in 2009, anyway."
Luki and Iroha stared at me. Then Luki randomly said,
"I have Ten-Faced in my head."
"What?" Iroha asked, weirded out by the sudden randomness.
"It's a song I did a while back," I explained. "About having a multiple personality disorder. It's one of my more popular songs."
"And it suits you, what with the faces you make when you're thinking," Luki snickered.
I blushed and slapped his cheek, "Stop teasing me!"
Then I gasped.
I had just committed an act of violence.
And the fact that it was against the guy who I may or may not have a crush on doesn't help.
"Way to go, Gumi!" Iroha laughed, clutching her sides.
Luki held his cheek, looking dumbfounded. Then he started snickering a bit as well.
"I-I'm sorry… why are you laughing?" I asked, puzzled.
"Cuz you're hilarious! That was the first time I've ever seen you angry, and you were so flustered at the same time!" he went into full-out laughter.
"How is that at all funny?" I asked, standing up.
"Because—" Iroha started.
"Hey, Gumi-tan, Iroha-nyan, Yuki-chi and I are going inside to get a bite to eat, coming with?" Miki asked.
"Okay, Miki," I said.
"Food sounds good to me," Iroha replied, holding her hands out for me to help her up. I laughed and did so.
~~~GUYS MY SISTER IS NICE ENOUGH TO MAKE A GROUP PIC OF THE FPNP ON DEVIANTART! CHECK IT OUT~~~
Rin POV (Again? Wow.)
Meiko parked the car next to Kiyoteru's and Iroha dashed out of the car like… something that goes fast. She glomped Miki and Yuki started giggling next to them. Yuki looked like she was really excited to be here. It was cute.
Speaking of Iroha, I should probably check up with the Flying Purple Ninja Pigs, shouldn't I?
"… having the same groups on the way back as well," I managed to catch from Meiko as she got out of the car.
Mikuo leaned in towards me and said seductively, "So I guess that means we'll be together on the way back, too." I blushed. How could this guy take such an ordinary phrase and turn it into something dirty-sounding! And it still didn't sound that dirty!
Imagine if he dubbed My Little Pony… Oh, no, Bad images, bad images.
"Y-Yeah, I guess so…" I stammered, disturbed by the thought of Mikuo voicing Pinky Pie and Rainbow Dash.
"Hey," Len said, glaring at Mikuo.
Oh thank Oranges my Lenny has come to save me!
Unfortunately that wasn't the case. They just started a sissy fight so I got out of it (rather lamely, I might add) when I saw Sweet Ann's car,
"I-I'm gonna go talk to Mizki!" I burst, dashing to find her.
What? I thought it was good. I did need to talk to her, after all.
Mizki stepped out of the car and sighed, "Oh, hi Rin-cha—aaaah!" she suddenly yelped as I glomped her.
"Hiya, Mizki! How was your car ride?" I caught a glimpse of Lola getting out the other side of the car and winked at her. She gave me a thumbs-up and mouthed "Good luck."
"It was… good. How do most car rides go?" Mizki answered, a bit confused.
"So," I said, pulling out of the glomp but still clasping her hands, "A little bird told me that you have a crush on Yuuma!"
Mizki blushed and let go of my hands in surprise, "Who? And I don't!"
"But you two would be so cute together!" I pouted.
Mizki rubbed her temple, "First Lola and Sweet Ann, and now you… am I acting in some way that makes you think I'm in love with my best friend?"
Now that I actually thought about it, no, there wasn't a reason besides Yuuma's constant blushing whenever Mizki made an unintentionally perverted comment and the fact that it was fan girl logic for those two to be matched up.
"Uh…" I answered, temporarily at a loss for words. "You two did a version of Cendrillon together? And Trick and Treat?"
"You and Len-kun did Adolescence and were the first to do Trick and Treat. Are you guys in a passionate relationship?" Mizki answered, smirking. Damn, this girl was good!
"Whoa!" we heard from Kiyoteru's car.
"This should be good," I thought out loud as the two of us rushed over along with Miki, Yuki, Piko, Mikuo and Len.
"What the hell are you two doing here!" Lily interjected.
"T-Teto-chi?" Miki questioned.
Teto wore this goofy grin, waved, and said, "Hiya, Miki-chan! Don't worry, I put your bags in Meiko-chan's trunk~"
And Miki, being Miki, actually seemed content with that answer.
"Oh, okay," she said, and then she and Yuki walked off to get something to eat.
"What are you guys doing here?" Mizki asked, crossing her arms.
Ted glared at Teto, "It was Teto-chan's idea…"
"Love you too, Ted. See you in Hell," Teto stuck her tongue, "We stowed away because we wanted to come to the beach house with you guys!"
"Well you didn't have to stow away in the freaking trunk of Kiyoteru's car!" Piko practically screamed.
I sighed, "Seriously, Teto-chan, you had to stow away in the trunk this time?"
And of course, since the others had no experience with the wrath of the Kasanes, Mikuo had to explain what was going on. Then everybody started going on about Poptarts and I had to interfere again.
"But Mikuo pretty much summed it up. Every year Teto finds some way to join us. And I guess this year she brought Ted-kun…"
"This is all your guys' first time here, though, so you wouldn't know that," Len said.
"Wow, that's…" Kiyoteru started, not quite knowing what to say.
"Genius?" Teto asked proudly.
"Weird," Mizki finished.
"Creepy," Piko tried.
"Stupid!" Lily yelled.
"Shut up, nobody likes you anyway! And besides, we can't leave now. We spent two whole hours in that trunk; you think we're going anywhere at this point?" Teto pointed out.
Since I knew where this was going, I just ditched and went inside to join up with the other FPNP members in their refrigerator raid.
~~~Almost done…~~~
Third person POV again THANK GOD
"Okay, everybody, I'm far too lazy to tell you all the room assignments, so I'm just gonna put the list here on the wall!" Meiko called out sweetly.
The foyer of the beach house was just as grand, if not grander than the one at the Vocaloid Mansion. After all, it had to support all the regular Vocaloids plus some Engloids, Genderbends, and Kasanes.
The front door opened to a hallway, with a staircase going up the left side of the wall. It led to the bedrooms. The hall led to the family room and dining room, as well as the kitchen off to the right. Despite it being a beach house, there was an indoor pool and a trampoline. Everyone was impressed and chattering with excitement about the new improvements from last trip.
Miku followed her name down the list with her finger until she stopped at the room assignment. She called back, "Yuki-chan! I'm in the same room as you and Lily!" Lily sighed, but nobody seemed to notice.
Haku and Neru were assigned to be in the same room together with Luka, who was not happy about it. Lola, Sweet Ann and Meiko were to share the third room down the hall.
"Teto-chi~ You and I will be roomies!" Miki squealed.
"Wahoo!" Teto replied, jumping up and down. "Who else?"
"Looks like..." Miki followed the room name with her finger, "VY1 Mizki. Ki-chan! You and I are in the same room with Teto!"
Mizki smiled and held up a thumbs-up silently.
"Let's see, that means we're in..." Iroha squinted at the small font.
"..."
"RIN!"
"Yuh-huh?" Rin asked, sucking the juice out of an orange.
"Why are you, me and Gumi in the same room?"
"What, you don't like us?"
"No, it's just that... fine," Iroha sighed and walked away.
Gumi looked at Rin with a frown. "But you did plan that, didn't you, Rin-chan?"
Rin giggled and admitted to her actions. "But get a load of the guys' room assignments!"
Gumi nodded in understanding, "Len's furious at being in the same room as Mikuo... I think Gakupo and Leon let him switch into their room. And Luki and Ryuto in the same room isn't a good thing, going off what happened in the car..."
"I still don't get what Len has against Mikuo. I mean, sure, he flirts with me, but seriously..."
Gumi smiled. For someone who was pairing up her friends, she sure was dense about her own love life.
My god, that was a long chapter! But half of it was just repetitive. Here are my notes for this chapter.
Mizki is awesome, I know. Her voice is definitely one of my favorites. It pisses me off that she's the one who sang CUL Makes Revolution, though. The personality I gave her was kind of… she's nice, sarcastic, and can take a joke, but she's really shy about her feelings and incredibly gullible. Like, really. Miki and Teto just seemed like insta-friends to me...
I'm hoping to use the beach house opportunity to do some other things besides Play Cupid. I know, that's the title, but I want it to be a little bit more than just a series of one-shots in which Rin is awesome.
We're almost at Yuuma and Mizki! All we need is one more chapter!
And you heard right, folks, my sister Emi is kind enough to draw me a picture of the FPNP + Miki on Photoshop, since I'm totally tablet-illiterate and can only draw traditionally! And the expenses from Copics add up like hell, too… anyway, that should be on our Deviant Art account soon, so check it out, please! We currently have some Vocaloid drawings already, and some pictures of my guinea pigs.
FUN FACT: Morumotto is Japanese for guinea pig :P
Question of the Chapter: Name the order in which you want the couples to be paired. Basically, who do you want to get together RIGHT NOW and who do you think can wait? Thank you for your input!
Guys, just be nice to me today and press the Goddamn button.
