The next morning the Vocaloids all went down to the hotel's restaurant to get some breakfast before getting ready for their performance. Most of them were pretty well rested and ready to go. That is except for Mikuo and Len, who both looked exhausted, with dark circles under their eyes. "Well, well, look what the cat dragged in", Neru joked, giggling a bit. "What happened to you two? You look terrible!", Haku exclaimed, clearly concerned. "We didn't get much sleep last night", Mikuo told her. "I don't know about you, Mikuo, but I had the worst nightmare last night", Len explained to his friend. "You know, Len, I had one as well. What happened in your nightmare?", Mikuo asked his colleague.

"Well, we were at the concert today, and all of a sudden this girl jumped out on stage", Len explained, "And she ran up to Rin and attacked her, and I don't just mean verbally. No, she did it with an aluminum baseball bat and a butcher knife". The rest of the Vocaloids were not sure what to think. "Before I could step in, the stage erupted in flames, and I couldn't get through to her", Len concluded, "And then I woke up, and I couldn't get back to sleep after that".

Most of the group had clear looks of uneasiness on their faces, but none of them were as shocked as Mikuo. "Oh my god, I had almost the exact same nightmare", he cut in. "What? You too?", Len wondered, astonished. "Yeah, we were at today's concert, when this girl jumped up ran to Miku and beat the shit out of her", Mikuo continued. "I tried to rescue her, but there was an invisible electric barrier preventing me from getting across, then I too woke up and that's what happened".

Clearly, the rest of the group were pretty moved by that. "Oh my god! That must have been so scary!", Teto called out as she rushed over to the two boys and hugged them tightly. "For god's sake, Teto. Will you please let go of them?", her older twin brother Ted protested, trying to get her off then turning to the two boys apologized, "I'm sorry guys, I don't know what's gotten into her lately". "Oh don't worry, Ted. She didn't mean it.", Mikuo assured him. "No worries. She is pretty damn strong though.", Len told him as he stretched out.

"So you're saying you two dreamed that your sisters were attacked?", Dell wondered, "Geez, you two really need to get your heads examined". "Now, now, Dell-san. There's no need in being brash", Gakupo warned him, "One can never tell what will show up in a dream". "Yeah, what the hell is your problem, Dell?", Gumi demanded, obviously not too happy with his remark. "That is a just a little bit harsh, don't you think?", Neru asked. "Come on guys, I was just playing around!", Dell answered, "I mean I wouldn't want that to happen to anyone here either".

"There's still no reason to make that kind of a comment", Kaito explained to him. "What he said. You'd better apologize to them right now, before I beat you senseless!", Meiko demanded. "I wouldn't usually condone violence, but in this case it's fine by me", Luka agreed with her friend. "All right fine!", Dell reiterated, "Sorry about that guys". "All right, you didn't mean it like that", Len told him. "Just don't say anything like that again", Mikuo added. "They're right you know", Haku said to her boyfriend. "All right! Will you all stop getting all preachy on me! I said I was sorry!", Dell called out, clearly wanting to drop the subject.

"By the way, are Miku and Rin here yet?", Len asked. "No, not that I know of", Kiyoteru answered. "Good, when they show up DO NOT tell them about our dreams, all right?", Mikuo asked, "I don't want them freaking out over it". "All right, we'll keep quiet about it", Miki assured them. "That dream did sound really scary though", Yuki added.

"Big brother, I don't want that happening to big sister", Chibi Len said wrapping his arms around Len's left leg. "I don't want that to happen either", Chibi Rin chimed in, holding on to Len's right leg. Both of them seemed close to tears. "Well, it shouldn't happen, the Hiratsuka police are going to be there to keep things under control", Len tried to assure them.

"Did all that stuff really happen in that dream?", Puchi Miku wondered. "Yes, he said that. But hopefully it won't happen in real life", Chibi Miku told her. "Exactly, the police will be there to preserve order and they wouldn't attack in front of 5,000 to 10,000 fans", Mikuo said to them, trying to calm them down.

"Yo heads up, guys!", Meiko called out, "Miku and Rin just got off the elevator and they're heading straight for us". "All right, we'll stop discussing it here", Mikuo told the group. "And remember, not a word about this to Miku or Rin, understand?", Len commanded. "Our lips are sealed", Kaito asserted, "We won't say a word about that to them". To that, Mikuo and Len nodded in reply. About five seconds later, Miku and Rin entered the room.

"We're here, finally. Sorry for being late", Miku called out. "We had a bit of trouble finding our way around", Rin explained. "No problem", Mikuo assured them. "You're not much later than all of us", Len added. "So what's the weather supposed to be like today?", Miku asked. "We'll have to look at the weather on the news", Rin told her.

They turned on the TV and the weather came on. "And the weather for today will be mostly sunny throughout the day, with a high of 84 degrees. However, be careful of the wind, which may gust to 30 miles per hour later on today", the meterologist on the TV reported. "All right, it's going to be a nice day!", Miku cheered. "Yep, now let's sit down and eat while everything's hot", Rin told her.

8:22 am

At around the same time, Dark Miku and Dark Rin were waiting for their equally evil companions, Akaito Shion and Len Arakawa to show up so they could go over the final plans. They were standing outside of an apartment building about 2 kilometers (1.24 miles) from the park. "Are you ready for this, Arakawa", Miku asked. "Oh please, I was born ready, Zatsune", Rin told her. At the same time, Dark Rin's cell phone rang. The caller ID said "Shion Akaito" so she answered it.

"Greetings, Akiato, so when are you and Len getting here?", she asked, "What do you mean you're not coming? We're counting on you to be our protection!", Rin demanded, "What do you mean we're being immature? Our motive for attack is weak?". "What are they saying?", Miku asked. "They said they refuse to be a part of this because apparently we're not being mature and our motive for attacking our enemy is lame", Rin told her.

"Give me that!", Miku yelled as she grabbed the phone out of Rin's hand. "Listen you shitheads! If you two are not down here in 10 minutes, you're both roadkill!", she shouted into the phone, "You don't care anyway? Oh well, fuck you too!". With that, she angrily hung up the phone. "So what happened?", Rin asked. "Akaito told me that he wanted no part of this", Miku angrily told her, "And then Len told me to go fuck myself".

"So what's the status about our plan", Rin asked. "Oh we're still going to go through with it", Miku assured her, "We can handle it on our own". "You said it girl", Rin agreed, "We don't need no stinking guys to help us out". "We'll show them! We'll show them all!", Miku shrieked. With that, she and Rin let out another evil laugh.

However, a few seconds later, an elderly woman opened her window and shouted, "Hey keep it down with the laughing! Some of us are trying to sleep!". "Shut it, Grandma!", Miku replied. "Yeah, go back to bed where you belong, old timer!", Rin added, before they both flipped her off. "Hooligans!", the old lady grumbled as she slammed down her window.
