Yay! The 8th chapter has finally come into view! In their world, it is finally Friday and with all these awkward pairings, no one did that good of research. Read on to find out exactly how much they failed- and read to find out how everyone is preparing for the party that evening!

Mrs. Megurine's Class

Normal POV

"Crap, crap, crap," Teto repeats as she walks into the classroom. Luka and Aito stroll in, arguing as always. Teto grabs Aito's shoulders and shakes him around violently. "PLEASE tell me Meiko is here today!" Teto yells in frustration.

"L-luka save me!" Aito yells, but Luka just laughs on.

"Gah! You're no help!" Teto yells and drops him, walking to her seat.

"What the heck was that for?" Aito asks, standing up and adjusting his messed up hair.

"I couldn't even sleep last night because I had to finish the packet," Rin says to Len as they walk in. "Thanks for your help Len," she spits out sarcastically.

"Hey, it was your fault for forgetting about it until last minute," Len replies and is soon hit with a book.

"Packet?" Aito asks and Luka taps her chin.

"I know we're forgetting about something…" Luka says.

A light bulb goes off above their heads.

"The project!"

They high five each other and smile.

"Wait, when is it due?"

"October 31st. We still have plenty of time."

"It IS October 31st, buttheads," comes a snarky reply from Neru.

Luka and Aito stare at each other, blinking.

"Oh, this is rich. The teacher's daughter forget about the project," Neru laughs, pulling out her cell phone.

"I- I did not forget!" Luka yells as her throat becomes dry. "In fact, it's an amazing project!" She grabs Aito's shirt and pulls him into her to whisper. "Finish the packet quickly. We'll be the last to represent," she whispers, not noticing his red face from their close faces.

"What subject though?" Aito whispers.

"I don't care! Just go!"

Aito sighs as she lets go and rubs his head. For some odd reason, Gumi is staring at him. Aito meets her gaze and she quickly looks away, turning slightly red.

"We're all screwed, aren't we?" Kaito says from the back, looking down at their half-finished paper. Piko and Miki share a look. Are they the only ones who had completed the assignment?

"Yeah," almost everyone replies.

And so, pair by pair come up to discuss their topic.

"Remember class- part of the grade is how you represent your topic. Make sure to speak clearly and look at your audience."

Piko and Miki share another look as they walk up to the front. Both of them aren't really known to talk that much, so who will do the talking?

"You may begin when you'd like," Mrs. Megurine says, picking up her pen to write down notes.

'Crap. Looks like I've got to do the talking,' Miki thinks and takes a deep breath.

'Come on Piko! It isn't that hard to talk!' Piko thinks and takes a deep breath.

"Our assignment is-" the two say together. Surprised, they turn to each other and start stuttering again.

"Go on," Mrs. Megurine says.

'This is going to take a while…' Miku sighs as she watches the awkward pair stutter.

Luka and Aito~~~

'Really Aito? You couldn't have chosen a better topic?' Luka groans as she looks down at the paper.

"And so, that is how nuclear weapons have impacted the lives of highschoolers everywhere," Aito finishes with a smile and Luka face palms herself. The only one not asleep by then is Gumi, who is just admiring Aito's golden eyes.

"Fantastic work," Mrs. Megurine says, her eyes slowly drooping.

Kaito and Miku~~~

"Betrayal is one of the worst things you can do to someone," Miku addresses. "In fact, there are a high number of students who have become depressed because of someone betraying them."

"For example," Kaito cuts in. "Like cheating on someone who loved you dearly."

Miku meets his glare. "Or if someone turned out to be someone different."

"Or just randomly becoming distant," Kaito says. The class looks at each other, feeling uneasy by the hostile tension in the air.

"Well maybe that person had reasons to betray them!"

"There is no reason to break someone's heart!"

"Uh…will another pair go up now?" Mrs. Megurine says as they continue arguing.

Rin and Len~~~

'I have to admit, the painting is pretty good,' Rin thinks as she looks at Len's painting.

"Art is another way to help express feelings in a way that can't be done with anything else," Len says as he speaks confidently, all his fan girls hanging on every word he says.

"And there are many different styles too!" Rin says, not wanting Len to do all the work. "Anything can be art, but we just look at it in different perspectives."

"What you may think is garbage, could be the most beautiful thing in the world to someone else," Len says.

"I hear wedding bells~" a girl whispers to herself, hearts in her eyes. Kaito looks over to see if Meiko is listening, but she's working on her packet. Miku is staring dreamily at Len though.

Teto and Meiko~~~

'We didn't even research about this that much…what are we supposed to say?' Meiko thinks, looking at the paper.

But she doesn't need to say anything, because Teto is soon on top of a desk, sputtering out utter nonsense.

"In 1978, the famous Nevada governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger was the first to allow proms for everyone!" Teto says. "Yep! They used to be called promades, which, is like a cereal I think. Or maybe it's a male enhancer…"

'I am screwed…' Meiko sighs.

Lunch~~~

Rin's POV

"I can already tell that half of the class failed," Luka sighs as she sinks into her seat. "And what the heck was up with our topic? I couldn't say a single word about it!"

"Nuclear weapons do have a lot to do with-"

"On another topic, have you picked your costume yet, Rin?" Luka asks, ignoring Aito as he mentally hits her with an apple.

"Costume?" I ask. I didn't think that it was a costume party. But if I have to dress up, maybe the party will be fun.

"Yeah! I'm going as Juliet," Luka says. "I heard Kaito is going to be Romeo."

"Hm… well I guess I could be a cat…" I say and shrug. "I'll have to think about it later."

"Cats are spawns of devils," Luka says, touching her face absentmindedly.

"They say that animals are good judge of characters," Aito says and brings his hands together into a steeple. "So, if you were violently scratched by one, what would that mean?"

Luka growls at Aito, making him laugh even more. "Calm down there tiger."

I smile weakly as I see Aito tease Luka even more. These two really do fight like wife and husband. I wonder if they will get married after all.

"E-excuse me," I say, quickly standing up.

"Are you okay Rin?" Luka asks, letting go of Aito's hair.

"Yeah. I just feel a bit dizzy," I reply, grabbing my plate. "I'll talk to you guys later."

"Bye Rin!"

"Peace!"

I look down at the floor and let out another sigh. Stupid heart. I can't help but feel this way every time I see those two together. I'm sure it'll all fade away soon.

And like any other person who isn't looking ahead, I bump into someone. I look up and meet Miku's cold eyes glaring down at me.

"Watch where you're going, Kagamine," Miku says and walks away. I don't know why she glared at me like that. The only time I've ever spoken to her was when I had to go get Len from Make Out Point.

What the heck is her problem?

Normal POV~~~

Just as the school bell rings to dismiss everyone, people run out to get ready. People are talking about their costumes and bragging, or complaining about having to baby sit and stay to give out candy the whole night. Of course, a majority of the girls who are heading out to parties were getting ready in their costumes. Since it is Halloween, you have the ability to become someone or something that you aren't everyday. Some people throw on fake blood and scary masks, ready to scare someone half to deaf. Others put on sexy costumes, ready to seduce.

Rin Kagamine is finishing putting on her thigh highs in her bedroom. She walks around and looks at herself in the mirror.

"I totally look like Alice in Wonderland!" Rin says cheerfully and adjusts the blue bow to be on her left. She quickly grabs four blue bobby pins and pins them on her bangs, allowing her to see clearly. Her hands reach over to her back and grab the bow, trying to tie it neatly.

"Hey Rin, are you done yet?" Luka asks, knocking on Rin's bedroom door.

"Yeah, just need one thing. You can come in," Rin says and hears the door open. Luka steps in and adjusts her own red renaissance dress. She flips her loose curls to the back and helps Rin tie the bow.

"Where's Aito?" Rin asks as she feels Luka let go and adjust her own empire waist.

"He's downstairs," Luka says. "Cute costume by the way."

"Thanks," Rin says. "You look pretty too. I'm sure Kaito will notice you tonight."

"Of course~! Then we can have a slow dance in the pale moonlight! While slowly swaying to the music he'll deeply look at my eyes and then, at that moment, we'll know-"

"That we're gonna be late?" Aito finishes for her and Luka groans as her fantasy vanishes.

"What? We still have plenty of time," Luka says, fluffing out her hair.

"We actually only have a few minutes…"

"Then what are we doing here? Let's go! I want to see Kaito!" Luka says with a big grin and pulls Aito along by his hand. Aito looks down at her hand and blushes as she drags him downstairs. Rin grabs her blue flats and runs downstairs, placing them on as she runs.

"I'll see you later mom and dad!" Rin yells as Luka opens the door.

"Have a good time honey," Rin's mother says with a smile.

"Aito, make sure no guy comes within a 9 meter distance to Rin!" Rin's father says protectively and Rin groans in embarrassment.

"I'll fulfill my duty sir!" Aito says with a bow and Luka pulls him along again.

"It was nice meeting you again!" Luka says with a smile. "Now come on Rin- before we're late!"

Rin nods and follows them, seeing Len walk out of his house.

"Kagamine-kun is your neighbor? You're so lucky Rin!" Luka yells, of course attracting Len's attention. He smirks and winks at Rin, then continues walking. "Did you see that Rin? He just winked at you!"

"I feel like throwing up," Rin says, twitching from Len's wink.

"I smell a love story~!"

"Really? I smell grass being cut," Aito says as he sniffs the air. Rin laughs and high fives him as Luka continues talking about how love can blossom even on Halloween.

"This is going to be one long night…"

Sorry for the short chapter, but I promise to give you a long chapter for the Halloween party! It's also my birthday tomorrow, so if I don't update tomorrow, I'm sorry.

Gah, 0_o I'm so excited for what's going to happen next! And most of it is all because of Teto's "Plan Book", so be ready for a lot of things to happen. And don't worry, there will be a lot of romance to accompany the weirdness.

Thank you to AliyeH for reviewing as well. You get a special cookie as well~

Well, review if you'd like, and thanks for reading! Bye bye~!
