BlueStarMagic: Thanks! The Wolf That Fell in Love With Red Riding Hood is one of my favorite songs ever, so I was excited I could fit it in the story. Long live the story! I'll never stop writing! Thanks for the review!
Shadowthorn2013: LOL X'D. Poor Piko... Actually, I don't have much sympathy for him since he got to kiss Miki, so… Ah, if only things could be that easy, my friend. But no, I plan to drag this out much longer… Hueheheueheueheuh… *grins* Thanks for the review!
Nerd Girl 1: Gumi is my hero :D Aww, thanks! Thanks for your review!

Pandapper: Hehe, Piko got what he wanted in the end, didn't he? So he should be thanking Len, really. What happened between Rin and Mikuo will be explained later, don't worry :3. Thanks for reviewing!
xxShadiceKokoro: Lol! Just goes to show that you don't mess with Gumi! Piko and Miki are adorable, aren't they? I think so. OMG! That sounds so awesome! I wish people around me were accepting of Vocaloid -_-;. You got it! Everyone's costume was inspired by a Vocaloid song sung by them, which was really fun to choose! Poor Miku… I'm so mean to her. You'll probably hate me at the end of this chapter D:. URG. If someone ever tries to make a vaccine, I WILL FUND THAT SHIZ. THIS NEEDS TO BE CURED. Ahem. Thanks for the review!
BlowMeAKiss1366: Slightly, lol! Hopefully she makes you proud this chapter, eh *pervy face* (You'll get it after reading the chapter). Thanks for your review!
Vector Zero: Ugh! This always seems to happen to one of my reviewers. likes to not show me some of the reviews when I'm doing replies before I post new chapters :/. I'm sorry! Lol! I think everyone did XD. Before I had the Riding Hood and Wolf idea, I originally was going to have them sing Magnet or Romeo and Cinderella, but that's been done so many times, I decided not to. I love cookie dough ice cream! Yummers! Thanks for the review!
MizuneMinamiki: I hate that too! I'll have to go through that when I go on vacation in a week :/ I'm so flattered XD. Lenny! I had a jolly old time imagining him in a big fluffy wolf costume XD. So adorable! *nosebleeds everywhere* MIZUNE. THE MENTAL IMAGES. HNGGGGGG. SO HAWT. I can't dance at all, lolz. At our dance in the spring, a guy asked me to dance (who was like, freakishly tall, probably a whole foot taller than me) and I felt so bad for him because I was so awkward the whole time XD. I kept tripping, and it didn't help the awkwardness that I had to CRANE MY NECK UP TO LOOK AT THE GIANT. Oh, memories~~~. Omg that would've been perfect! I wouldn't blame her either… heueheueh… LOL! When I introduced my parents to Vocaloid, they thought Gakupo was a woman… I laughed so hard, they probably thought I was insane or something… which I can't really argue… AHEM. ANYWAY. Len needs to stop being so dense and realize he's in love with Rin already. Seriously. PFT! LOL, dang. Miki's not so shy anymore, is she ;O? Lenners, you're so feminine ;D. It's okay, I like guys slightly feminine anyway, lol. LONG REVIEWS ARE THE BEST! Please don't stop doing long reviews! They make my day! Thanks for the review!
w: Lol! Don't burn meh ;A;. Don't sweat it, you're reviews are the bomb ;D. I'm a horrible dancer… I literally apologized to every guy I danced with at our school dance in the spring after the song was over XD. He's asking for it, with that ponytail, LOL! Jk Gack, I love ya how ya are! Me too, and I was excited to choose who wore what costumes! It was a lot of fun! Shotas are the best. Nuff said. Haters gon hate. Gumi-bear is mah hero :D. ONANA FTW! They will succeed! :D. One of my favorite songs ever, especially since it's from Hitoshizuku! Akuma's a genius, Len is… slow. Oh well, hopefully Akuma Len will take control of his thoughts more often *suggestive eyebrow wiggle*. Miku's got some problems she needs to sort out… Piko and Miki, sittin in a tree… heheh. THANK YOU FOR YOUR REVIEW!
TeamKagamine: RinxLen forevah! Gumi is just… awesomeness itself. Nuff said. Miki and Piko are just so cute I could die! But I won't since I want to finish this story XD. Poor Miku… It's hard being a good friend in that situation :/. I respect her. Aren't we all XD. She's so lucky! Thanks for your review!
Bunny-chaaan: Gumi rocks hard. I think we all want to do that XD. I did it once, but it didn't really work, LOL. People don't fear me like they fear Gumi o_o. Lol! Your friend sounds awesome! I wish my friends liked Vocaloid ;_;. LOLOLOL OMG when I saw the "DUMP MIKUO" part, I thought it said "JUMP" for a second. LOL now I'm laughing hysterically at the thought because I'm just insane like that. Thanks for the review!
Tye-Dye Lizard: Lol! I sometimes do that with some of my favorite stories too! It's okay, I'm not mad XD. Piko and Miki are like the perfect high school sweethearts. So adorable! Mikuo's being really selfish, isn't he? I don't like him that much :/. I love putting in song references x3. They're going on a soccer trip in a couple chapters, so look forward to that! We all love Akuma Len, don't we? He's better than original Len, in my opinion. Thanks for the review!
Lolly1o1: Honestly, I don't know what Rinneh sees in Mikuo. She's got the perfect guy right in front of her! Piko, you know you wanted it ;O. Thanks for the review!
Whew! So many reviews! You guys are so awesome! Keep em comin! Sorry if I didn't reply to your review! As w and Vector Zero know, sometimes my account doesn't show your reviews when I'm replying, so please don't think I ignored you! Just tell me in your review if I missed you!
This chapter was inspired by this picture: .
Not sure why there are two Rins in the picture, though… I like the one in the front better :3.
DISCLAIMER: Wouldn't type "disclaimer" if I didn't own it, buddy.
NORMAL POV:
"Riiiiiin... It's five in the morning... What do you wannnt...?" Len whined into his phone.
"Just wanted to call to tell you that I'm not coming over for breakfast this morning," Rin replied nonchalantly.
"Huh...? Why...?" Len asked groggily, rolling over onto his side in his bed.
"I seriously need to talk to Miku. She's definitely avoiding me, and I haven't seen her since the dance on Friday," Rin explained.
"And you called at five in the morning because...?" Len groaned.
"Because pissing you off is fun. Plus I would have forgotten if I hadn't done it now. See you at school, lazy bum," Rin said deviously and hung up.
"Ugggggh... That girl..." Len mumbled, turning his phone off and rolling over to go back to sleep.
Rin stopped in front of the Hatsune house and knocked on the door
nervously. "Coming!" an extremely familiar voice called.
Rin's heart pounded against her chest as she heard the doorknob turn quickly. The door was yanked open, revealing Miku still in her pajamas. The tealette's warm smile immediately dropped when she saw the blonde at her doorstep, fidgeting with her school bag nervously.
"Rin...?" Miku asked, as if she couldn't believe that she was there.
"Hey..." Rin said awkwardly.
Things were never so awkward before, Rin thought, yet suddenly it's as if we're just classmates instead of best friends...
"Hey... What are you doing here?" Miku asked, a guilty feeling settling in her stomach.
"Well... We haven't walked to school together for a long time, so I was wondering if you wanted to come with me today...?" Rin explained.
"Oh! Uh... Sure, I guess... Come in," she said, gesturing for Rin to walk into the house.
Rin did so, keeping her shoes on instead of kicking them off and
nonchalantly tossing them to the side, as she would have done in the past.
"I just ate breakfast. When I'm done getting dressed, we can go," Miku said, jogging up the stairs and toward her bedroom.
Unknown to Rin, Miku was actually delighted that she had come. It had been the longest time since they'd walk to school together, and Miku missed those times. They used to walk together all the time, but when the Haines started working more and taking a lot of business trips, the routine was dropped because walking with Len was safer for Rin, since she lived closer to him than to Miku. Not to mention, Len had better chances of protecting Rin if someone attacked, unlike if she was with Miku.
Miku quickly changed out of her teal printed pajamas and into her uniform skirt and blouse. She decided to wear the uniform sweater today instead of a blazer. She remembered the day they received them, thinking that they would be itchy and uncomfortable, but being surprised by the softness of the fabric.
She grabbed a hair tie and pulled her hair into a single ponytail to change it up a bit (and also because Rin had done the same, but she wouldn't admit it out loud). She was about to dash out of the room when something caught her eye...
A single paper plane.
Miku's breath caught in her throat as she stared at the plane in disbelief. She grabbed it and fumbled to open it, eager to read the message that was no doubt inside.
Meet me at the park courtyard tonight at 7. I need to talk to you in person.
Miku's heart pounded as she clenched the paper. She gazed out the open window (she'd kept it open most of the time since her and Mikuo's last conversation in hopes that he would send a message her way) at Mikuo's window, but it was closed with the curtains drawn.
She would've thought about the letter more, but she remembered her guest. To make matters worse, that guest had a major crush on Mikuo...
Miku sighed, folding the message into a square and tucking it away safely in her book bag. She slung her bag over her shoulder and jogged down stairs and into the kitchen to grab her bento. She put the lunch into her bag and head to the living room where Rin was sitting on the couch.
"Ready?" Miku asked, opening the front door and slipping into her shoes.
Rin nodded, springing off the couch and grabbing her bag. The two left the Hatsune house, heading in the direction of Crypton High. An uncomfortable air hung around them as they walked. The awkward silence was eating Rin alive until she couldn't take it anymore.
She stopped dead in her tracks, her bangs covering her eyes. Miku noticed that the girl was no longer walking with her and turned around, looking at Rin with confusion. "Rin...?" she asked.
"Miku... Did I do something to offend you?" Rin blurted, looking at Miku with despair in her blue eyes.
The question caught the tealette of guard. So she has noticed...
"...No," Miku answered.
Rin stepped forward, looking like she could cry. "Then why are acting so weird?! You've been avoiding me, not answering my texts... It hurts, Miku! I at least want to know what I did wrong, so I can try to fix it!" Rin said, raising her voice slightly.
Miku felt frozen, like a deer in headlights. "Rin, I-"
"Don't you dare say that you're not mad! You are Miku! I hate it when we fight!" Rin said.
Miku's heart was overtaken by guilt. Rin had done nothing wrong... It wasn't the girl's fault that she had a crush on the guy Miku loved...
"I'm jealous," Miku finally said.
Rin was taken aback. "You're... Jealous? Of what?"
"You and Len are so close... You guys spend a lot of time together, you know? I just miss you a bit, but you didn't seem to notice, so I kinda got mad."
It wasn't really a lie. Miku did get a tad jealous when she saw Rin and Len arrive to class together or pair up right away for group projects. She understood though, Rin and Len had been friends for a really long time, so it's to be expected for them to be closer. Still, it hurt. Though, it wasn't something she'd go avoiding Rin for.
Rin threw her arms around her friend. "You idiot! Just because Len and I are close doesn't mean I'd ever forget about you!" Rin scolded.
Miku felt happy to know how loved she was by her best friend. She hugged her back tightly and pulled away. "I'm sorry. It was a really stupid thing to get mad over anyway."
"If you even need to talk to me about anything, I'm here, alright?" Rin said sternly.
Miku laughed. "Yes sir."
The two continued their walk to school talking and laughing comfortably, as if the incident never even happened.
Len burst into the classroom, breathing heavily from his run to school. He caught his breath and made his way to his seat, plopping down into it tiredly. He had woken up late on a account that SeeU was out that morning and wasn't there to wake him up.
Yowane Sensei was asleep again, so everyone was taking it as a chance for free time. Len smiled when he noticed Rin and Miku talking with their desks pushed together. Rin noticed him looking and smiled at him happily. They must have made up. Good.
Something did catch his eye though, a sight that made him smirk right away. Piko and Miki had pushed their desks together and were talking together... and holding hands.
Len got up from his seat and went over to the two grinning devilishly the whole time. "So I see I did do you a favor after all?" Len teased.
Piko turned the color of Miki's hair. "Y-You jerk..." he mumbled.
Miki giggled, stroking Piko's pam with her thumb. "Thank you Len. I was worried he'd never have the balls to do it himself," Miki said.
"M-Miki!" Piko stammered, hiding his red face with his free hand.
"So you guys are officially dating now?" Len asked, sitting on a nearby desk.
"Yep! After the kiss, he apologized and stuff, but I told him my real feelings, so it was okay," Miki explained.
"T-Thanks, by the way, Len..." Piko said, looking to the side and embarrassed.
Len laughed. "No problem. As long as I don't have to push you two together on the wedding day~" he teased.
"L-LEN!" the couple shouted as Len laughed his butt off.
Gumiya pulled up a chair and plopped down by Piko's desk, looking somber. "What's up, Gumiya?" Len asked.
Gumiya sighed. "I confessed to Gumi last night... It didn't go well," he explained sadly.
"What?! Did she reject you? I coulda swore she liked you!" Piko said.
"I thought so too... She didn't exactly reject me though," Gumiya said, rubbing his temples.
"Then what'd she say?" Miki asked and raised an eyebrow.
"She didn't quite get what I meant," Gumiya sighed.
"Well how did you confess? Like, what did you say?" Len asked, leaning back against the wall.
"I just told her straight, 'I really like you.' She's like, 'I really like you too Gumiya! You're my closest friend besides Luka!'" Gumiya explained, laying his head on the desk.
"Oooooh. Put in the friendzone, eh? Did you try explaining what you meant to her?" Piko asked.
"I was about to, but her crazy overprotective dad pulled her away before I could..." Gumiya sighed.
"That's rough, buddy," Piko said, patting him on the back.
"Speaking of Gumi-bear, she's late today, isn't she?" Miki wondered resting her head on her hand.
As if on cue, the classroom door slammed open, revealing a sweaty Gumi. She growled at anyone who gave her the slightest funny look as she stomped toward their little group, throwing her book bag on the ground and grabbing hold of Miki's arm. "Mind if I borrow Miki-Mouse for a bit?" Gumi hissed, more so commanding then asking.
"But-" Piko started.
"'Kay thanks!" Gumi interrupted and dragged Miki away by the shirt collar.
They watched as the two went over to Rin and Miku, then Luka. Gumi ended up dragging them all out of the classroom and into the hallway, slamming the door behind her. "...The heck was that about?" Gumiya sweatdropped.
"Dunno. Then again, I don't really wanna know," Len murmured.
"Well, I do, so I'm gonna go listen in. If I don't come back... Well, you know who found me. See ya," Gumiya saluted and left the classroom.
Piko and Len stared at each other.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"...He's dead."
"Totally."
Rin POV (Finally! :D)
Gumi dragged us into an empty classroom and threw us in carelessly. As we stood up and dusted ourselves off, Gumi flipped on the lights and threw herself onto the teacher's desk chair. She put her head in her hands and groaned.
This is not the Gumi I know.
"What's wrong Gumi-Bear?" I asked, hopping up and sitting on one of the desks.
"Only Luka knows this... But I work at a maid cafe," Gumi confessed.
My jaw dropped. "You what?!" Miki gasped.
"You're a maid?!" Miku asked.
Gumi nodded somberly as Luka pat her head in hopes of comforting her. "I have been for about two years now," Gumi explained.
"Why didn't you tell us until now?!" Miki asked.
"It's embarrassing! Duh!" Gumi exclaimed as if it were obvious.
"How come Luka's the only one who knows?" I asked.
"She got suspicious and followed me there once. I couldn't exactly lie to her after she saw it herself," Gumi sighed.
"I made a promise to never tell anyone, not even my parents," Luka said.
"So all those times when we were hanging out and you disappeared suddenly, you were going to work at a... maid cafe?" Miki asked.
I suddenly remembered all the times when Gumi would suddenly say she had to go, or had something to do other than hang out with us. It all makes sense now!
"So why are you telling us now?" Miku asked.
"Well... All of my co-workers have got the flu. They're all at home, sick, and I can't find replacements. So I was wondering..." Gumi drifted off, looking at us shyly.
My eyes widened in realization. "No, no, hell no-"
"Oh hell yes! If I'm doing this, you're doing this, honey~" Miku grinned evilly and wrapped her arm around my shoulders tightly.
"Rinneh! You'll look so adorable in a maid costume~!" Miki joined in and wrapped her arm around me as well.
Dear God. This will be the death of me.
Len POV ( I really hate switching POVs so frequently, but I have to, so bear with me here -_-;)
By the time first period was almost over, the girls finally came back into the classroom. Miki and Miku both had their arms around Rin's shoulders while grinning deviously. Rin had a bead of sweat on her forehead and a distressed look on her face, but otherwise looked okay. I raised an eyebrow in her direction, but she just shook her head and gave me a smile.
Gumiya came stumbling into the room with a completely blissful look on his face. He hustled over to us and slammed his hands on Piko's desk. "We're having a little field trip tonight, my men," he announced.
"Huh? Field trip? Where?" Piko asked.
"The Maid Cafe."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"...Dude, I knew you were an enormous perv, but this is way too far, even for you," I groaned, pinching my nose in irritation.
I think it's genius.
Well of course YOU do, you're YOU.
But technically I am you, so...
...
"Wait, wait, let me explain. Miki, Rin, Meiko, Miku, Luka and Gumi are going to be there. IN UNIFORM," Gumiya said excitedly and rubbed his hands together.
"And this makes you any less a pervert how?" I asked.
Gumiya glared. "Len, I don't think you're quite understanding what exactly I'm getting at here. They will be in uniform. Uniform. Maid Costumes."
"And...?" I asked, raising my eyebrows.
God, you're slow.
"Len, what Gumiya's trying to say here is that the girls will be in maid attire, and at the mercy of their 'master.'" Piko explained.
Still, why is Gumiya so excited- OHHHHHHHHH.
You just... God, you're too innocent for your own good.
"So just imagine your little Rinny dressed up all cute in a maid costume welcoming you 'home' and calling you 'Master.'" Gumiya smirked.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Len, your nose is bleeding..." Piko stifled laughter.
"SHIT!" I exclaimed, covering my nose with my hand and searching frantically around for a tissue.
Piko and Gumiya both snickered as wiped my nose with the tissue Piko gave me. My face was on fire as... images... worked their way through my sick mind.
"Anyway," Piko said, catching his breath, "how would we go to the cafe anyway? I'm pretty sure the girls would kick our perverted little butts if they found out we were going to get served there by them."
"The answer is simple my friend. Disguises," Gumiya said.
"Who all will come?" I asked wiping the rest of my nosebleed away with the tissue.
"Gakupo is bound to find out about anything Luka related sometime," Gumiya said.
This is going to end badly. I know it.
Normal POV
"Um, are you sure this looks okay?" Rin asked, adjusting her headpiece self consciously.
Gumi just stared at her with starry eyes and an open mouth. Miku came into the room in her maid costume and was about to say something until she laid eyes upon Rin. "Oh... My... God..."
"RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN!" Miki squealed, hugging the confused blonde tightly.
"YOU LOOK SO RAPEABLE!" Gumi exclaimed happily.
That's a GOOD thing?! Rin wondered and sweatdropped.
"IF I WERE A ELDERLY PEDOPHILE I WOULD BE ON YOU LIKE WHITE ON RICE, RINNEHHHHH!" Miku yelled and hugged her tightly with Miki.
"He-lp m-e!" Rin gasped.
MEANWHILE
"Gumiya."
"Yessssss?"
"These disguises suck."
"...Yeah, I know."
"I like 'em well enough," Piko said, tugging on his handlebar mustache happily.
"Just adding a top-hat and a mustache is not going to keep our identities hidden," Len sighed.
"I think it's brilliant!" Gakupo exclaimed.
Len groaned. "I'm surrounded by idiots..."
BACK TO MAID CAFE
"Excellent job ladies! I haven't had so many customers at once for years!" the manager, Yukari, exclaimed.
"No problem Yukari-chan. It's the least we could do," Luka said politely.
Rin smiled at her customer as she set his meal in front of him, resulting in a massive blush on his face. "Is there anything else I can do for you, Master?" she asked in the most innocent voice she could muster.
"N-No, t-that'll be fine," he answered, as red as a tomato.
Ew, I think I'm going to barf, Rin thought and grimaced.
She forced a smile and went back to the kitchen to pick up another order. "How many times have you been hit on so far?" Miku asked when the blonde brushed by her to pick up the omelette.
"About nine times, maybe ten?" Rin replied, "You?"
"Thirteen, and a rather... detailed description from an older guy about how he'd like to... Well, you get the picture," Miku sighed, fixing one of her twintails' bows.
The best friends shuddered. Rin opened her mouth to say something, but was stopped by Miki barging into the kitchen. "We have some... special guests," she announced.
Miku raised an eyebrow. "Eh? 'Special guests?'"
Miki sighed. "Just come here."
They followed her to the door and looked where she was pointing.
Four young men in black suits and top-hats waltzed to their tables, guided by Yukari. Each of them had black handlebar mustaches on, not matching their green, white, purple and blonde hair at all. Rin recognized the blonde on sight and clenched her fists.
"Oh hell no," Miku gasped.
"Those little pervs," Rin growled, fire in her eyes.
Luka walked over to them, looking like she would explode. "So, what should the punishment be?"
"Standard ass kickin' won't be enough, if ya ask me," Gumi grunted.
"I say we make em' wear the maid outfits in the back," Luka suggested.
"Whatever it is, it better be PAINFUL!" Miku hissed, stepping forward in a fighting stance.
Rin stopped her by putting her hand on her shoulder. "Wait. I've got a better idea," she smirked.
"Young Masters!" Luka called as she skipped over to the boys' tables.
Gakupo was literally have a coughing fit in his seat with a red face. Len chuckled nervously, sniffing to adjust the fake mustache in case it was falling. He could tell Gumiya was searching for Gumi, by the way he kept craning his neck to look around the cafe every once in a while. Piko was fidgeting with his thumbs, probably afraid Miki might recognize him if he made himself noticeable.
Len couldn't help himself for searching for a certain someone himself, even though he didn't know why he was so curious.
"What would all of my Masters like?" Luka asked.
All of them placed their orders, and Luka nodded and bowed before turning away, an evil smirk on her face. After several minutes, Luka, Miki, Gumi and Rin appeared from the kitchen with the boys' meals. Luka went to Gakupo, Miki went to Piko, Gumi went to Gumiya, and Rin went to...
Len.
He suddenly felt it hard to breathe when Rin swiftly walked over to him and set his plate down in front of him, a devious look on her face. She knows it's me, she totally knows it's me, he worried.
"Is there anything else you want, Master?" she asked in a sweet voice.
"N-No," Len replied, his cheeks already pink.
Rin stepped closer, squatting down so she could be at his level. "Are you sureeee~? I could give you a back rub, if you like~"
Before he could even give her an answer, her hands were on his shoulders, rubbing soothing circles with her fingers. His mind was in panic mode, like a thousand little Lens running around with their hands in the air and screaming, some being rounded up by a giant cackling Akuma Len with a whip.
...Or something like that.
"Does this satisfy you, Master?" Rin whispered, her hot breath tickling his ear and making him shiver.
"Y-Y-You d-d-d-d-d-d-don't have to-" Len stammered.
"Is there anything else I can do for Master?" she asked again.
I need to get her to stop. Otherwise...
"C-C-C-Could you get me a water p-please?" he asked, trying to control his stuttering.
"Or course! Anything for my most important person!" Rin exclaimed, letting go of his shoulders and smiling at him.
She trotted off toward the kitchen leaving Len red faced and breathless. The other girls slowly followed, giggling mischievously. Len turned to see the others red faced as well. "What..." Piko started.
"Just..." Gumiya continued.
"Happened...?" Gakupo finished.
"Do you think they know who we are?" Piko wondered.
"If they do, they're not planning on telling us," Len muttered.
"Well, knowing or not, Gumi looks awesome in a maid outfit," Gumiya sighed with a dreamy look on his face.
Rin came out of the kitchen with Len's glass of water in hand. She tripped on nothing (on purpose, unknown to Len), and dropped the water. She would have fallen flat on her face, if it hadn't been for Len, who caught her just before she could.
"You okay, Ri- I mean, Miss?" Len asked.
An evil idea formed in her head as Rin nodded. Before Len could react, she took him by the shoulders and looked him deeply in the eyes. His cheeks turned pink immediately. "Is there anything else you need, Master?" she repeated.
"U-Uh, no," Len said.
"Are you sure, Master? I want to repay you somehow! Like a discount, a coupon, or... myself~"
"Wha-!"
Len's mind went blank. He tried to think, but simply couldn't. He was frozen, with his eyes wide open as she pulled away.
Rin kissed him.
ON THE LIPS.
AND HE'D DONE NOTHING!
Sure, it had only lasted about a second, but it hadn't left him any less speechless. And red.
She smiled devilishly at him, but had a little blush on her cheeks as well. "Are you satisfied, Master? Or should I say..."
She smacked him upside the head. "LEN!" she shouted.
He rubbed the side of his head and pouted. "Hey! What was that for?" he asked.
"Being a perv! If I don't tell you about something, it's probably something I don't want you to know, dummy!" she scolded, standing and helping him up.
Len bowed his head and blushed. "Sorry..." he mumbled like a little kid apologizing after getting in trouble.
Rin giggled and pat his head. "S'okay. You're a boy with hormones so I understand why you'd be curious," she said.
"Yeah," Len muttered lamely.
Rin grinned and nudged his side playfully. "So, who's the lucky girl you came here to see, eh?"
Len's face was on fire. Not you, not you, not you, CERTAINLY not you! (Not.)
"N-No one! It's just that all the other guys were coming, and they forced me to come, so..."
Out of the corner of his eye, he could see Gumiya mouthing BULLSHIT.
"Oh suuuure. I'll get it out of you some day, Lenners," Rin grinned, dusting of her dress.
Over my dead body... He thought.
"Whelp! Time to get back to work! Now shoo, all of you, before we go with our original plans and kick your asses!" Rin said, pushing Len and the others toward the exit.
As the disappointed boys walked home, Len clenched his fists and swore. I promise Rin. I'll get my revenge on you, for sure.
"Thanks for today, ladies," Yukari said, picking up her broom and beginning to sweep the cafe's floor.
"Are you sure you don't want us to help clean up?" Miki asked, adjusting the bag she used to keep an extra set of clothes in over her shoulder.
"Of course. I'm very grateful for the hard work you all have put in today," she insisted.
"See you tomorrow, then!" Gumi said, pushing open the doors and holding them for her friends.
Miku suddenly tensed up next to Rin. The blonde put a hand on her shoulder. "Huh? What is it?" she asked.
"I completely forgot," Miku said, running a hand through her bangs.
"Forgot? Forgot about what?" Rin asked, cocking her head to the side.
Miku checked her watch urgently. 8:34. Her heart sank.
Rin opened her mouth to say something, but Miku suddenly took off running. "Miku! Where are you going?!" she called, but got no reply as the tealette disappeared over the hill.
Miku ran and ran until she finally reached the park. She stumbled into the park courtyard, whipping her head back and forth in search of Mikuo. He was nowhere to be found.
"No... No... No, no, this can't be happening..." Miku whispered, sinking to her knees.
I missed him.

There are some days I think I'm a sadist. Then there are some days I know I'm a sadist.
ANYWAY. So, Rin and Len kissed, eh? Well, Rin did most of the kissing, actually, but it's the thought that counts, right? Though, Len promised to get revenge on her, so...
*pervy face*
Review and make this authoress very happy, eh?
…..Please?
