Sorry for the long wait, readers of this fanfic! School's getting to me lately, many apologies. Since I've just updated, why don't you read on?
Disclaimer : If I owned Vocaloid, I'd be swimming in cash right now, not writing a fanfic, so...you get the idea.
Chapter Two : Solution
Mocona awoke to the feeling of someone prodding her in the arm. Hmm... Takuya never prodded her. And she said she would be home on Monday, anyway... "What...? 5 more minutes..." she groaned, feeling her back cracking.
"Wake up." an unfamiliar, male voice insisted.
Mocona instantly woke up, surprised at the presence of a male in the house. Images of last night came rushing back to her, and she finally remembered what in the name of ZUN happened. "Took you long enough." a rather high-pitched, different voice grumbled.
"So, uh, I saved you and all, what are your names?" Mocona asked awkwardly, yawning. The 'twins' were dressed now, the girl in the sleeveless shirt with short-shorts and the boy in the T-shirt sleeved shirt with bermudas.
"My name is Rin. Kagamine Rin." the girl said, adjusting her ribbon.
"I'm her brother, Len." the boy added, tugging on his tie.
"What were you doing out there, in the box?" Mocona asked curiously.
"What box?" Rin asked, sounding genuinely confused.
"I only remember Master shutting us off, then we woke up here." Len stated, placing a finger on his chin. Mocona quite nearly bit her tongue. Shut off?
"Shut off?" Mocona blurted out in astonishment.
"Yes. That's what he said." Rin confirmed, sounding more confused. Why was she surprised?
"How could anyone 'shut' you off? That term's only for computers and the like." the redhead said, now sounding confused. The twins glanced at each other and laughed.
"Well, that's the thing. We aren't human." Len chuckled, smiling brightly. "We're androids specially created for singing called Vocaloids." Rin added.
Vocaloids? Mocona had heard the term used at the Winter Comiket by the 'ojou-sama and oshujin-sama' clique, but she passed it off as roleplay fodder. The girl had no idea that 'Vocaloid's were real.
Mocona snapped back to her senses when Rin waved a hand in front of her face. "Oh, sorry. I guess I should introduce myself. I'm Mocona Hinamizawa." she said, cracking a smile.
The twins smiled back. "If you're Vocaloids, why aren't you somewhere else, like, in a recording studio?" the redhead asked.
"I don't know. Like Len said, our previous Master, the person who composed songs and took care of us, just shut us down and then we woke up here." Rin replied, having a twinge of sadness at the mention of 'Master'.
"I guess he...abandoned you. I found you in a cardboard box on the street, wrapped up in bandages." Mocona stated, feeling like punching this 'Master' guy for just dumping Rin and Len on the street like that. The twins both sighed sadly.
"It can't be helped." Len mumbled, looking downcast. His sister recovered much faster.
"Well, we can't just stay here with you. We need to do something. I'd feel guilty imposing on you." Rin stated, placing a finger on her chin.
"Good point. How old are you?" Mocona asked. "About 14 in appearance, but it's been 3 years since my creation. Why?" Len replied.
The redhead smiled. "In that case, you can go to school with me. I study in Gensokyo Academy. You could say that you were my distant cousins or something..." she suggested.
"Wow, really?!" Rin exclaimed excitedly.
"Yeah, you really just need to pass a few tests to see if you're smart enough to enroll." Mocona replied. The twins both grinned.
"We're in!" Rin and Len exclaimed in unison.
"Just, one more question...why the heck aren't you famous yet?" Mocona asked. It was seriously hard not to imagine them strutting down the red carpet. Rin and Len both pondered this for a moment before answering cheerily...
"We..." Rin started. "don't know!" Len laughed. They both chuckled at this, grinning. Mocona resisted the urge to apply her palm to her face.
"Alright...I'd better get to forging ID cards for both of you. Where would you like to be from?" she asked, getting up from the sofa.
"Osaka!" Rin exclaimed, waving an arm.
"Shibuya!" Len shouted excitedly.
"Harajuku." Mocona finalized, walking into her room. "Come in." she said. The twins obeyed.
Oh, well that's the second chapter done.
I've noticed that about 60% of my chapters are composed of dialogue. Wow. And I also have this niggling feeling that there's plotholes somewhere...
If you're wondering how Mocona knows how to forge identity cards, she has her ways...
Be nice and review!
