"So, when do you think we'll get to play with Allie again?" Rin whined, trying to climb a tree outside the facility.
"Unlike every other day you've asked… I'd say today," Miku said, leaning against the tree.
"It's been almost two weeks since school started. What makes you say today?" Rin huffed.
"The fact that she's walking this way."
"What?" Rin nearly lost her balance as she turned to look but she quickly recovered. "Sweet! You go get Len and Kaito while I get down."
"Sure, but who do you think those two people are with her?"
"Probably the friends she was required to get, now go." Rin huffed, almost down from the tree.
Miku quickly disappeared in the facility. Allie and her friends had just been stopped by Rin when she got back with Len and Kaito.
"Wow! They're really real," The girl with Allie gasped when they arrived. "I know you said they were, but… wow."
"Well, don't just stand there staring." The boy in their treo scoffed. "Hi, my name's Tarlo, and this is Silea." He confidently introduced himself and the other girl. "We already know who you are."
"So, you're friends of Allie's?" Len asked as Miku and Rin ran past to hug Allie.
"Yeah, since yesterday. We found her sitting alone listening to music by, well, you guys. We're fans too so we ended up here." Tarlo shrugged. "She didn't even mention you then, but I guess since we stuck around for more than one day we're friends now."
"You mean you didn't actively go searching for friends?" Rin pouted. "I thought you wanted to see us."
"I did, it's just… friends are hard. I was trying though. I'm so glad to see you again."
"Me too." Miku smiled. "So, what's the plan for today?"
"Well—"
"I heard you can go inside video games."
"Tarlo!" Silea scolded. "Don't interrupt. It's rude."
"Sorry, but still, I want to see. That sounds awesome."
"I'm up for it if everyone else is. What game?" Len shrugged.
"I've got Mario Cart at my house," Allie volunteered.
Everyone slowly agreed as they walked back to Allie's house. The girls were happily chatting together as Tarlo caught both Len and Kaito into a discussion about other video games and a little bit about their programming.
"That's awesome. I should definitely talk to you more later." Tarlo said when they reached Allie's house.
"Wait, you mean you actually understood what he was saying?" Kaito questioned.
"Enough to enjoy it. I'm hoping to be a programmer when I grow up, like my dad. He spouts all sorts of cool things like that. Did you not understand?"
"I'm a computer, I understand that much just fine. Whether or not I care about anything more than I need is a different matter entirely."
"Oh."
"Come on you guys! You're the ones who wanted to play," Silea called, already seated on the couch.
Kaito and Len disappeared, leaving their orbs next to Miku's and Rin's as Tarlo grabbed a remote. The vocaloids had taken the place of some of the computers and they all enjoyed the game.
"How does Rin keep winning?" Tarlo huffed. "Len and I keep swapping second so you'd think one of us would win by now."
"Don't mind her," Len responded, his voice coming from his orb. "She's cheating."
"Am not!" Rin growled.
"Face it Rin, you did make your car a bit faster than the game says." Miku sighed.
"That's not cheating. It's giving myself a slight advantage."
"Also known as cheating." Tarlo grumbled. "Anyway, I should probably get going. Silea, you ready? Your parents probably want you back soon."
"Uh, yeah. Thanks Tarlo." Silea smiled. "And thanks Allie for having us over. It was fun."
"We should do this again," Allie agreed. "I guess you should go soon as well?" She asked, addressing the vocaloids."
"Yeah. See you later Allie." Miku and everyone else waved as they left for their own homes.
