After the entire fiasco with the haunted mansion that wasn't haunted and then was haunted (Luka was still trying to figure that all out), Rin had drove the road roller out of the woods and onto the road, frightening many people who were just driving along and minding their own business. In response to these people, Rin simply honked at them and accelerated.
"Rin," Luka said, "I think this is illegal."
"Who in their right mind is gonna pull over a road roller?" She responded. "Besides, I'm in the speed limit."
Luka shook her head. "I don't think that's how-" she was interrupted by a siren blaring behind them. "Oh look, you're being pulled over."
"WHAT?!" Rin checked the rear view mirror. "Hold on, I'll run 'em over."
After a short struggle for the controls (which Len won), they pulled over and an officer walked up to the road roller. He looked very surprised to see Rin in the driver's seat.
"Um... Hello…" He seemed at a loss for words.
"Am I breaking a law?" Rin asked.
"Well, you aren't supposed to drive a steamroller on the streets-"
"It's a road roller."
"Okay, road roller. You still aren't allowed to drive it on the streets."
A few minutes later, the officer took away the road roller and Rin was visibly upset. Well, after she got over the rage and death threats, which Luka told the officer to ignore. Thankfully, he did.
"Should we try to get the road roller back?" Miku asked Luka while Rin was screaming to the heavens as if she was in some sort of horrible romance movie.
"Are you kidding?" Luka responded. "The entire reason we're even here is because of that stupid road roller. We are not taking that thing back."
"Good point."
They all stood in the rain as Luka talked to the officer and Rin wailed.
"Why?" She cried. "He was so young! He had only destroyed four houses!"
"Four?" Teto asked.
"Well, there's our house, your house, the mansion, and the Home Depot down the street."
Everyone stared at Rin.
"Rin..." Miku asked slowly. "Do you mean to tell us that you wrecked a Home Depot with a road roller and no one cared?"
"Sure they did! They just never caught me!"
"Great, I've got a criminal for a sister." Len moaned, hiding his face in his hands.
Luka walked back over to the group. "Okay, I've sorted it all out. I told him we didn't know that was illegal, so he's going to lock the road roller up and let us off without charges." She said.
Rin screamed.
"Rin, that's a good thing. We aren't getting arrested."
"BUT MY ROAD ROLLER IS!" Rin was in hysterics.
Luka sighed and stepped back, leaving Len to calm her down. After a few minutes of getting drenched, Rin and Len joined the group.
"I've decided that the road roller will do just fine in prison." Rin declared. "He'll run the entire cell block."
"I don't think that's how prison works." Miku whispered to Luka.
"Just go with it." She whispered back.
"So, I've decided in absence of the road roller, I'm going to lead you all to the house we're staying in." Rin said, turning on her heel and starting to walk. The others began following.
It wasn't long before the complaining started.
"Rin," Kaito whined, "are we there yet?"
"Shut up."
"So Oliver," Luka asked. "Are you going back home now?"
Oliver scratched the back of his neck. "Well… I don't really think so…"
"Why?"
"It's kind of a long story…"
"Well, try to make it shorter."
"Um… Prima, one of the vocaloids who lives with me, threw James out the window and bet that I wouldn't go after him. I did, and then she laughed and asked if I was running away, so I did."
"Seriously?"
"Yeah, I'm not coming back anytime soon." Oliver finished, adjusting his hat as James crawled underneath it to hide from the rain.
"Wow." Luka said. "I guess you can stay with us for a while, then."
Oliver beamed. "Thanks!"
Farther up the line, Kaito was being strangled by Rin. "STOP ASKING IF WE'RE THERE YET!" She screamed, yanking on his scarf.
"I-I'm sorry- ack!" Kaito choked. Len grabbed Rin's arms and tried to pry her off while Miku and Teto frantically tried to undo Kaito's scarf. Finally, Rin let go and Kaito collapsed, gasping for breath.
"Kaito, are you dead?" Luka called from further back, Oliver next to her looking quite concerned while Tei stood by, watching with a bored look on her face.
"Yes…" He gasped.
"He's fine." Luka said, catching up with the group and yanking Kaito up. "C'mon, I'm sure we're almost there."
Sure enough, after a few more minutes of walking, they arrived at their destination- a small condo in a small neighborhood, which consisted of a run down park, several other condos, and a house that was probably a portal to hell.
There was a man waiting next to the condo with an umbrella, checking his watch. When he saw Rin walking up to him, he smiled and shook her hand.
"Rin Kagamine?" He asked.
"Yep." She muttered. "Sorry we're late, we lost our ride."
The man gave her a quizzical look, but nodded. "Okay… Um, rent is due at the end of next month, and I'll come by then to make sure everything's in working order. If anything breaks, let me know." He handed her a set of keys.
Rin smiled. "Great. Thank you!"
He waved, got into a car, and drove away.
There was an awkward silence as Rin unlocked the house. "Well?" She said, looking back. "Are you coming in?"
"Rin." Luka started. "I thought you said we were staying with someone."
Rin shrugged. "Well, I lied. I rented a condo."
"How many bedrooms?"
"Yeah, about that… We need to partner up. There's only three bedrooms and a closet." Rin took out a list. "Don't worry, though! I came up with our sleeping arrangements. So, Luka and Miku, Tei and Teto, Kaito, Len, and Oliver, and I get the closet."
"Why do you get a room to yourself?" Kaito complained.
"I want to be with Len." Tei muttered.
"Alright, Tei, no. And Kaito, you've been demoted to sleeping on the couch." Rin said. "Get inside before you guys get even more soaked."
Yaaaay! I edited all the chapters! There might still be a few errors, so if you see one, let me know please!
To answer a reviewer, yes, destroying houses with a road roller is illegal. We don't condone wrecking haunted mansions with heavy machinery.
I do know where I'm going with this (sort of).
also I totally didn't write that bit with Prima in there just so I can keep Oliver around hahaha what are you talking about
Thanks for reading!
