A/N Another one!

Since It's summer time~~~~

(MIKU)

Thank you if you've read this far! From now on I'll try to post a bit more!

Nine ~ Hyper

The next time IA woke up after charging through the night she was met a by a purple-haired girl, "IA, you seriously need to get up earlier than this from now on or you'll miss out on the event,"

"Wait, what event?!"

Another voice replied, "Apparently it's Miku's birthday,"

"I would've thought you knew everyone's birthdays by now," IA thought those voices sounded like Yuma and Mizki's – wait, how come they found out before she did?! This was one of the rare moments when IA really wished she'd listened to Teto's gossip for once.

Yukari literally dragged IA out of the room (dragged once again!) but, unfortunately, Miki was there and forced Yukari to get a move on, so in the end she had to help drag IA across the floor even quicker than Miku had, and the redhead did not do it gently.

When they arrived, Gakupo and Luka were giving each other glares as they got the preparations ready (but IA thought it looked a bit more like eye sex in her P.O.V…), apparently Rin and Len had gone to slow Miku down, Gumi was getting the stage set up, Piko stuck like glue to Miki (as always), Yukari was sorting out gifts and Yuma and Mizki were calling IA to come over to them.

Mizki spoke first, "IA, we were wondering if you could help us a little, we haven't really had much notice for this event,"

"Yeah, that seems the case with most things in this hellhole," IA mumbled half-heartedly. That was when Len slammed the door shut, panting.

"Okay, I think Rin's got her attention for now, she shouldn't suspect anything if we casually distract her for the next week before her birthday,"

"Wait, it's next week?!" the trio of V3s asked in unison, Miki replying with a 'duh~'.

IA found out that it was in roughly a week, as Miku's birthday was on the 31st of August, and it was the 25th. Kaito came in two hours later with dozens of gifts, Len endlessly teasing him about it throughout the day. They each decided it would be more fun to keep each of their gifts to Miku a secret until the day she opened them.

Gumi eventually came down from the stage setup to practise vocals with the others, as they would all sing a song composed by Mitchie M called Birthday Song for Miku, originally sang only by Kaito, Meiko, Luka, Rin and Len, but the others decided it would be more fun to join in with the whole song.

The three troublesome UTAUloids came down soon after, bringing gifts of various sizes, but Haku's was mysteriously shaped like a bottle of sake… A few others that IA didn't recognise came in afterwards as well, a blonde with a deep, mature voice (who IA later knew as Lily), A very formal-looking man with what looked to be his younger sister (Kiyoteru and Yuuki), an adorable little blonde sailor boy who came in straight afterwards (that was Oliver), a foreign-looking blonde with cat ears (SeeU, apparently Korean), a redhead who looked a bit like a vampire (Cul, but she wasn't a vampire) and a short girl with strawberry hair and cat mittens (Iroha).

That was when IA suddenly realised why she had that sinking feeling: she hadn't bought a present for Miku.

"Shiiiiiiiit,"

"Language, IA," Luka pinched IA's cheek as the albino started biting her nails, thinking of what gift she could possibly get her friend.

At that point she felt a tap on her shoulder, expecting to see Luka asking if she was alright or Piko asking if he could hide behind her or something (what? Miki could be pretty scary as a stalker sometimes… Like, as in, Yuno scary…). Instead, she saw Yuma.

"Umm, I forgot to get a present too,"

"Huh? But I thought you and Mizki already got yours since you knew!"

"Well, Mizki got one, but I never did, but I have no idea where the nearest shopping centre is and Boss has disabled our bank accounts for now…"
"Oh, I forgot; you're a newbie, so you need a guide everywhere you go," She stared at him, wondering if Rin and Len had got a present yet…

She didn't really know why she was trying to avoid being a guide – after all, she wanted to help the two get to grips with their life. Then she realised it. She was willing to help the two. If she went with just Yuma, it might look like they were on a… she blushed abruptly.

"Umm, why don't you ask someone like Luka or Rin and Len? I mean, they probably know the area better than me,"

"But you do know the area, right?"

"Umm…" She stopped blushing and sighed, "Fine, I'll take you."

She stared at her friend in the shops, a look of absolute dread on her face. Well, I guess I know what it feels like to be in Momo's shoes, I guess… She almost laughed at the irony of her song. Yuma found something for Miku, eventually, but IA was a little hurt when he didn't show it to her – I mean, she did agree to bring him there and everything, so – but he insisted to keep it a secret like the others.

She sighed a long and hefty breath when she went to find something for her friend. She found it when she passed by a music store, remembering a song by Rin and Len called Suki Kirai (one that suited them perfectly, to IA, at least,) and no, it wasn't the jewellery Len got Rin near the end of the song – it was actually the part where Len sang his chorus and played the guitar (that bit was absolutely hilarious since Rin was just looking at a butterfly whilst he was freaking out on the guitar). No, no, no! She wouldn't play the guitar! (She hadn't been programmed to do that yet.) She would give the gift to Miku and wander off doing something else before Miku started freaking out on it.

Yeah, that sounds like on hell of a plan!

The day finally came, where Kaito brought Miku into the room, the lights turned on and her turquoise eyes sparkled at the massive greeting, everybody singing Birthday Song for Miku!

…But the tealette wasn't too interested in the others, more like the presents, which she dived for immediately.

Not to soon Miku and the two usuals were drunk, after Miku opened the present shaped like a sake bottle, most others having gotten her special edition merchandise from anime and manga or jewellery, so Miku snapped out of her drunken daze when she opened the guitar. IA sighed, deciding it was time for her to go, her snow-white hair flicking as she turned, until Miku played the beginning of Kagerou Daze, Rin having decided to be her backing guitar.

IA grinned, turning around again to bring the party by mixing Kagerou Daze with Konoha's State of the World, and another tune –one she made up out of her head…

"Shounen shoujo mae o muku kureru enten sae kibouron datte

"TSUREMODOSE" "TSUREMODOSE"

Mikazuki ga akaku moeagaru

Saa saa, KOODO o zero de kizame

Souzouryoku no sotogawa no sekai e OOBAA na kuusou sensen e"

...Later, that song became known as Children Record, one of IA's greatest hits.

A/N KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! I frickin' love Children Record and the PV of Suki Kirai, as well as the guitar opening of Kagerou Daze!

I mean, the Kagerou Project rocks (literally) and Suki Kirai has the cutest PV ever! (Maybe not as cute as Rockbell, but y'know, basically any Honeyworks song is kawaii)

I tried (?) doing a little Yuma/IA in this one...

TIME TO GO READ SOME FANFICS! -I-I mean, research!

I'm gonna be typing now... so bye!
