One Sunday Afternoon
(scene of Luka and Yuki walking down the street; Yuki is humming "Shooting Star")
Luka: What's that you're humming, Yuki?
Yuki: Ah, it's just a lullaby my mommy sings to me when she tucks me into bed at night. She says it's been passed down through her family for generations. (notices Luka fighting back tears) What's wrong, Megurine-san?
Luka: Oh, nothing. It's just… (rubs her eyes) When I look at you, I just can't help myself but envy you. You see, (fade to slideshow of Luka's past) I never knew my parents; apparently, they died when I was a baby, so my grandparents took me in. While it's not like I didn't love them or anything, I always felt something was missing from our family, and when Gakupo's great uncle came to my neighborhood in Okayama and I met Gakupo and the others, I felt relieved. I felt…normal. For the first time in my life, I felt like I was part of a complete family. I wanted to bring my grandparents with me to Tokyo someday, but when Gakupo's great uncle disappeared, we all had to disband. I didn't have any way to go back home. (fade to Luka and Yuki walking down the street) I'd been trying to forget about all that ever since we got back together, and thankfully, it's all gone smoothly. I can even see my grandparents every now and then. (notices Yuki with tears in her eyes) Yuki, what's wrong?
Yuki: Uh…I…I'm sorry, Megurine-san. Your story is so sad. (sob) (sniff) (rubs her eyes) I'm just glad it all worked out in the end, but you don't have to be alone anymore. You've got Sakine-san and Shion-san and Hatsune-san and everybody else at Crypton Studios looking out for you.
Luka: I know. Like I said, it's all worked out in the end. Sure Gakupo's constant attempts to woo me, Meiko's alcoholism, Rin's raging insanity, Len's fear of his own shadow, Kaito's attraction to all things hazardous, and Miku's refusal to take advantage of her star status can get pretty annoying after a few weeks or years, but their company is worth it. (pause) (looks over her shoulder, eyes go wide) Speaking of which…
Yuki: What is it?
(a car1 zooms into frame; car stops as scenery turns red, as if frozen in time; Meiko is at the wheel and Rin is in the seat behind her)
Rin: (leaning out the window) Hey, Luka, what are you walking for?
Rin and Meiko: (Rin makes a funny face; Meiko honks twice) Loser! Loser! (car speeds off; scenery returns to normal colors; cut to inside of car, revealing Kaito, Miku, and Len)
Len: (points ahead, terrified) IT'S RED!!! (everyone's eyes go wide) (cut to Yuki staring down the street)
Meiko, Kaito, Miku, Rin, and Len: (out of frame, terrified) AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!
Yuki: (in awe) Ooh, they're flying.
1 The car has a set of bumper stickers that say "Forest of Morals", "Reincarnation", and "Waka Laka".
