Author: Here it finally is, the last chapter of Mikurella~
Twisted Fairytales: Mikurella
Chapter 12
"It's finally over!" Len exclaimed, throwing his hands in the air. Yes, they had just finished their last exam, and there were a couple of cheers as well as groans of defeat filling the classroom.
"Well then, let's go out and ce-le-brate!" Gumi suggested.
"Don't you have to meet Lily-nee?" Len asked.
"She's celebrating with her class, so let's go!"
Miku was lost in her own thoughts again, and was not listening to anything around her. Now that the exams were over, her attention returned to the biggest problem.
"Miku! You there?"
"Huh? Yeah, what's happening now?"
"We're going out to celebrate and maybe get stuff for the end of year dance. Juniors can go after all."
That sounded like Miku's idea of fun, but she was not in the mood to go out. "Sorry, I'm too tired, you guys go ahead?"
"Okay, but remember to get ready for the dance!"
Miku smiled weakly and waved at the trio.
"The dance, huh?"
"What do you mean you're not going to the dance?" Luka asked Luki.
"I mean, there's no one there that is interested in me, what's the use." Luki frowned.
"You have to be there! As moral support! Or something!"
"Why, are you gonna propose to my sister?" Lily whispered in Luka's ear, making her jump.
"No!" She scowled, and regained her composure. The class was too busy discussing their answers to pay the four of them any attention, but you never know who could be watching.
"Close enough though." Luki grinned.
"Oho? What are you going to do?" Gakupo asked.
"I'm going to make us official. Or something. I'm not sure, I haven't thought of anything yet!"
"Just kiss her in front of everyone when the music stops. That's so dramatic."
"As well as awkward." Lily added.
"Okay, how about you get down on a knee and erm, ask her if she wants to be official?"
Luki sighed. "Just tell her, and if she accepts, you can dance the whole night, not changing partners at all. That's pretty obvious, isn't it?"
"Dance the whole night? What is this - Cinderella?" Luka scoffed. But it wasn't a bad idea. Luki's ideas were never terrible.
"Aww, cute. You can cross dress and be Prince Charming." Lily laughed.
"Come to think of it, you two are androgynous. Luki can look pretty and Luka can look handsome too."
"What a marvelous suggestion you just gave me! Luka should dress as a guy and I should dress as a girl!"
"Oh no you don't."
1 week later
"Well, that's that. I suppose your siblings are going for the dance?"
"Goodness, yes, Rin was chattering to me about it today. She seems pretty excited about it, saying she might find a guy for her at the dance."
"It's a pity they could not find a better place." Gakupo sighed. Sure, the place was well furnished, well known, and very roomy. But it was also their school.
"It's supposed to make us feel nostalgic, but I doubt I will feel the effects." Luki shrugged.
They were all seated in a Limo that was paid for by the school. All seniors got this special treatment. It was impressive, but the school was not very far.
"You ready?" Luki looked at his sister.
Luka nodded, ignoring the butterflies in her stomach, and clasped her hands together.
"What? You didn't get anything ready?" Rin shouted, not expecting this from Miku. An hour ago, Len and her had been getting ready, and when they were supposed to leave, … this happened.
"Yeah, I was too busy." 'Thinking about Luka.' "Anyways, can I not go?"
Rin shook her head and rummaged through Miku's wardrobe.
"This year's theme is smart casual, so..." She fished out a couple of outfits, inspecting them and considering each for a while.
"This will do! I'll just tell Papa to wait for us. Now hurry up and get dressed!"
Miku took the clothes from Rin, uncertain about going to the dance, but the look Rin gave her told her to just obey her sister.
"It's getting… late. What time did they say they would be here?"
"According to Rin, they were supposed to reach at 9. It's 10 now. What's taking them so long?"
"Urm, screw this." Luka stood up.
"Where are you going?" Lily asked.
"Well, I'm scrapping plan A. I'm going to your house to find Miku."
"Whoa, but my parents will be there."
"All the better." Luka smiled, not sure where this sudden courage and determination came from. But it was fantastic. She felt like she could climb mountains, swim across seas, slay dragons – all for Miku. Her mind was astoundingly clear now, as if someone had filtered out all her doubts.
"Wow, you're really serious, aren't you. You know how to get to my house, right? I've seen you walking Miku back a few times. Good luck."
"Thanks." The pinkette sprinted out of the school, and ran to Miku's house.
"Ok, you're finally ready, huh, princess?" Rin yawned as Miku finally reached the bottom of the stairs.
"All my children look so beautiful today." Kaito sniffed, and Len coughed.
"You all look like you're going to some magical ball, where you will meet your other halves there." Kaito continued, and Len sighed.
"Alright, let's just go, we'll tell you about our magical ball later." Rin rolled her eyes.
"Be back before 12, or I'll lock you guys out!" Meiko warned them. Oh well, it would be Kaito's fault if they were late anyway.
They waved at Meiko, and got into the white car, which drove away almost immediately.
As the white car moved along the long stretch of road, the passengers failed to notice a certain Pink haired girl running towards their house. Said pinketter also failed to notice a very familiar white car cruising by.
Luka ran on, turning sharply and almost losing her balance. Her black shoes clacked against the stone path in a consistent rhythm.
"This is it, Miku's house." She panted and stopped in front of the gate, straightening her shirt and fixing her hair before pressing the doorbell.
"Did you forget something – Oh, hello." 'Goodness, this girl looks familiar, where have I seen her?' Meiko eyed the girl in front of her. She had long pink hair that was tied up in a high ponytail, and was dressed in a black long sleeved shirt with a straight collar, and equally black pants. The sleeves were rolled up at her elbows, and she was wearing a plain, thin red tie. She looked incredibly handsome but maintained her femininity.
"Erm, I'm Megurine Luka, Miku's - friend." Luka said, still panting slightly.
"If you're looking for Miku, she just left with her siblings." Meiko thought for a while and it finally came to her.
"You're that girl!" When she received a puzzled look, she proceeded to explain. "You're the one that Miku met that day! Oho, and you're the one she likes! And you two are together, am I right?"
Luka blushed, not expecting this at all. Her blush was an answer for Meiko, who grinned triumphantly.
"Eh, well done. You're a good catch. Ah, but now's not the time for this, you've got to go after them! Sorry you had to run here for nothing!"
"It wasn't for nothing!" Luka cried out, already running back to school.
"So, here we are. About an hour and a half later than we said we would be here." Len muttered, as they walked in the busy event hall.
"Wow, they did a good job decorating the place." RIn observed her surroundings. She could see Lily dancing with Gumi right in the center, and spotted Gakupo near the refreshment table. Luki was somewhere in the crowd, and Luka… Wait, where was Luka?
"I don't see her anywhere." Miku mumbled, but Rin heard her.
"She's definitely here. Why are you so scared?"
'I don't know, maybe because I've been contemplating if I should break up with her or not! And you drag me here and expect me to be okay?'
"Relax, you look fine." RIn said, for once not catching on the situation.
Sure enough, Miku looked fine. She was in a short black dress (I'm bad with clothes description, but the dress resembles the Magnet dress.) with a ribbon at the back, and she was wearing black heels with stockings.
"It's not that… nevermind." Miku sighed. She had just stepped in and part of her already wanted to flee. Being in here was so suffocating, she was looking out for Luka not because she wanted to see her, she wanted to avoid her. But why? Was it because Luka did not reply her? Was it because they had not seen each other for quite some time? Or was it because she herself was insecure?
"Okay, I'm gonna get some drinks and try to find a guy." Rin winked, and walked away.
"Maybe I should just go outside…" Miku sighed. The whole atmosphere was wrong. Wrong for her anyways.
She walked down the stairs blindly, not noticing where her feet were landing. Before she knew it, she had tripped and was falling down. She closed her eyes and braced herself for the impact.
"Whoa. Careful."
'This voice…'
Miku opened her eyes, realizing she was in the strong, protective arms of Luka, who was smiling down at her lovingly.
"Déjà vu, huh? I remember that we met like this too."
'The end and the start huh? How ironic.' "Luka…" Miku whispered, her eyes starting to tear.
"Yeah?" She let Miku stand up.
"We can't continue like this anymore."
Luka frowned. "What are you talking about?"
"I don't know, are we gonna be… are we still alright?"
Luka paused, not quite understanding Miku's words. Miku however, took that pause as hesitation, and broke free from Luka's grasp, running down the stairs.
"What? Miku!" Luka dashed after her princess, and chased her into the field.
"Miku?"
Miku turned around, and the gentle moonlight graced her skin, letting Luka marvel at her beauty. The only thing out of place… were Miku's tears.
Luka took slow steps towards Miku, and when Miku didn't run away, she pulled Miku into a strong embrace.
"Luka…" Miku mumbled, returning the warm hug.
"What's wong, Miku?"
"Do you still love me?"
Luka broke their embrace, and looked into Miku's eyes. The turquoise orbs were serious, and still oozing tears. Luka gently wiped them away, before placing her lips on Miku's own lips.
"I still do." Luka said after the short kiss.
Miku smiled, tears coming out again, but these were different tears now.
"And guess what, as a reply to your question-"
"Hey! That's not fair, they're dancing in the field!" "Damn, it's so romantic! I wish I did that first!"
A couple of people had spotted them from the hall, and now a few people had gathered to watch. The two of them were caught, but none of them minded at all.
"Are we dancing?" Miku asked, amused. Luka grabbed Miku's waist and started to dance slowly to imaginary music. "Were we not?"
A couple of whistles were heard, and a voice that sounded suspiciously like Lily's screamed out "They finally did it!" Luka grinned, feeling very, very proud all of a sudden.
"So… are we official?" Luka asked, her eyes twinkling, teasing Miku.
"Shut up and kiss me."
Epilouge
Luki had been wandering aimlessly, for no guy had caught his eye. The whole event was starting to get boring, and he walked over to the balcony.
Luki noticed the uncertain blue haired youth standing alone. There was something about him, that loneliness, and it was calling out to him.
He walked towards the boy with determination and purpose.
"Hey there, would you like to dance?"
Normally Mikuo would reject such bold advances, especially from another male, but there was something about the pink haired youth, dressed in a black shirt and skinny jeans, that called out to him.
"Sure." He shrugged, taking Luki's hand with a smile.
Gumi laughed and Lily spun her around. It felt so nice to be dancing among so many students openly. As the music slowed down, Lily grabbed Gumi and guided her off the dance hall.
"I'll be gone next year, you know." Lily sighed.
"I'll miss you, you know." Gumi replied.
"I'll miss you too. You can come over to my house anytime."
"Hmmm, but the year hasn't ended, we've got… 1 month and a half left, you know. We could always take a trip or something."
Lily grinned at the idea. "A trip or something would be nice."
Rin sighed. All the guys were so boring. The good looking ones were taken, and the rest didn't understand her intellectual conversations.
"But I promised myself I would dance today. What a waste." She sighed deeply, and decided to approach the first guy she bumped into. As she stood up, she knocked into someone.
When she saw who it was, she sighed and stopped him.
"Let's dance."
"Huh? Rin?" Gakupo asked in disbelief.
"Shut up and dance with me."
As for Len, well, the last someone saw him was when he was being chased by a blonde with red eyes, and she was shouting "Len-kun!" while trying to pounce onto him.
"Oh well, all's well ends well." Luka said, pulling Miku in for another kiss.
