Description: A spoiled princess and a dopey, albeit loyal, servant. When Rinto and Lenka are asked to tell a story to Yuki and class, they put their own Kagamine twist on things!
*Bonus points if you can match each character in the story with their 'real life' counterpart in your review!
Here's a start: Rintopher Lucian d'Autriche is Rinto! Aren't I helpful? Winner gets... something. I'll definately think of something. Maybe. I dunno.
"Rinto! Lenka!" a group of children greeted two blonde teen idols as they entered the classroom.
"Did boring ol' Kiyo ask you to come?" Yuki asked, leading the kids to a carpeted area.
"Yes, and he'd appreciate it if you didn't refer to him as 'Boring ol' Kiyo."
The young children turned to find Hiyama Kiyoteru, or 'Kiyo' as most people referred to him, arms crossed and foot tapping. His eyes, hidden by the glare of his glasses, flashed with irritation. His 'daughter' (though they weren't actually related, they were counterpart programs, and he perferred that to whatever crazy fans shipped them as a couple. (a/n: No disrespect to Yuki*Kiyo supporters, I personally don't support that pairing.)) was always forgetting her manners. Despite being 'out' for almost three years, she still played the 'I don't know much about the world' card.
And worse still, people buy it.
Kiyo was lost in thought, so Yuki took over.
"Kiyo-sensei wanted you to read us a story today." she explained.
"Yeah." Gachapoid or 'Ryuto' chimed in. "He had Tei Sukone read to us last week, but..."
"BUT it involved Tei, so things are best left unsaid" Nana Haruka cut him off.
Despite her blinding adorableness and 'puppies-and-kittens-frolicing-in-cotton-candy' voice, she was quite the spitfire.
A trait most, if not all 'Nanas' in the Vocaloid/UTAU family shared.
"Well, now that we cleared that up," Rinto said "what are we going to read?"
"How about 'Story of Evil'? We tried to get Tei to read it, but..." Yukito began.
"AHEM." Nana glared at him.
Yukito shut up so fast, you'd think AHS themselves told him to zip it.
Ignoring this, Lenka walked over to the shelf, and retreived the book. Returning to Rinto, the two skimmed the book, using their android brains to do so in seconds.
And promptly chucked it across the room.
"I thought you were gonna read to us...?" a slightly confused and dissapointed Yuki asked.
The twins looked at each other, Rinto getting a vicious glint in his eyes, not unlike his counterpart Rin. Lenka got one too, but like Len, it was less evil and more creepy.
The children - and Kiyo - all took a step back, half expecting a piece of construction equipment to barrel through and destroy the place.
Instead, Lenka began to speak.
"Yes, we did promise to read you AkunoP's story, and we WILL. But that book had it ALL wrong."
"We'll tell you how it really went." They said at the same time.
"There once was a kingdom in a faraway land. It was called the 'Kingdom of Yellow' because of the yellow stones to build the castle town." Rinto began.
"The kingdom was ruled by the beautiful Queen Allison XIV, whom most referred to as 'Big Allie' because of her impressive stature. The King, Andrew III was often referred to as 'Spicy Andy' because of his love for fiery dishes. They were graced with one child, Rintopher Lucian d'Autriche, a boy with hair like spun gold."
"Aww, thanks sis!" Rinto said, playfully punching his sister.
"Though it was slightly greasy."
Collective eyeroll from the children.
"Anyway..." she continued, "Rintopher was well off, even having a personal servant assigned to him at age fourteen. Lenkabelle Abberine was her name, and she was extremely loyal to her charge. However, unbeknownst to the Servant and the Prince, the two were actually blood relatives - twins in fact - Lenkabelle having been adopted by the King and Queen's trusted knight, Lan of Scarlet."
"Okay, hold up." Yuki interrupted them. "You mean to tell us that Mothy originally had cast you and your friends, but changed it to the Cryptonloids, LEON, and Sweet Ann?"
"Duh." Lenka said.
"Alright, then..." another eyeroll from Yuki, and she was done. For now.
"Where were we?" Rinto asked. "Oh, thats right."
"Rintopher was also an esteemed horseman. His steed, Joseph, was the greatest in the land, known for his flowing amber mane..."
"Who just so happened to be named after that thing?" Yuki asked, pointing out said thing: an orange steamroller parked outside the window.
The twins had insisted (which in Kagaminespeak means 'threatended to level the building and flatten Kiyo's car.')that it be parked outsid the room where the can see it.
"Total coincidence, we swear." The two had their left hands raised. Their right hands behind their back, fingers crossed.
"And its not a thing, its a RoadRoller" Lenka added.
"What. Ever." Yuki said.
"Y'know, we can't finish the story if you keep interrupting us." Rinto pointed out.
"Carry on." Yuki said, waving her hand in a 'hurry up' fashion.
"Unfortunately, the King and Queen fell ill, passing away and leaving Rintopher to ascend the throne at a young age. But he was naive, and din't understand how to run a kingdom, imposing heavy taxes and eliminating anyone who stood in his way."
"Soon, he became known as 'Rintopher the Tyrant' and was both feared and despised by the inhabitants of the Yellow Kingdom."
"One day, Lenkabelle was out shopping, when she quite literally ran into a peasant from the neighboring Green Kingdom, Mikael."
"You mean Michael?"
"No. Mikael. He was an errand boy for Kei Freesis, a wealthy noblewoman in Elphegort, and often came to the Kingdom of Yellow for supplies."
" 'Milady, I do apologise' Mikael said, retreiving the things she dropped. Although she often wore peasant clothes outside the catsle grounds, Mikael easily recognised Lenkabelle as the servant to Rintopher."
"Lenkabelle accepted the apology and the things she dropped, and was on her way, still thinking of Mikael."
"Lenka and Mikuo sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" the kids sang.
"WHAT? NO WAY!" Lenka shouted. "This was totally for the song!"
"MEANWHILE," Rinto interrupted, "Rintopher had fallen for a noble from the seafaring country of Blue, Princess Kay."
"KAIKO and Rinto down by the bay, makin' out all night and day!" the kids started.
"How immature." he glared at them.
"Rintopher called a party with the princess, where the two were betrothed, however, Kay declared her love for another."
"Mikael?" Nana asked.
"That's right." Rinto nodded. "Naturally, this didn't sit well with Rintopher. So, he ordered Mikael dead, and the Kingdom of Green attacked."
"Lan of Scarlet was totally against the idea."
"But Rintopher, furious, had him executed."
"And despite her adopted father being killed, and her crush ordered dead by her hand, Lenkabelle remained loyal, and did as she was asked."
"Or so Rintopher thought."
"Right, Yukito." Lenka confirmed. "Lenkabelle, rather than executing the boy, she hid him in the catacombs of the buring kingdom."
"Alas, his fate was not to live. Mikael perished from the cold and the unsanitary conditions."
"The attack on the Green Kingdom was the last straw for the people of Yellow. They could barley afford bread, and now their Prince has started a war with the Kingdom of Green, and with the Kingdom of Blue allied with them, the Yellow citizens didn't stand a chance."
"The entire country revolted, even Theodore, a long time friend of Lenkabelle found himself against the prince, and therefore, against her. Led by a disguised Princess Kay and an irate Jeramei Abbadonia, clad in his father's old armor. The two would finally get revenge for the wrongful deaths of Mikael and Lan."
"Jeramei was out for blood. The servants, save for Lenkabelle had fled or joined in the revolt. Another servant, a boy named Neil Futapie was leading the angry people straight to the prince's quarters, where Lenkabelle and Rintopher, twins seperated at birth, had taken refuge."
"But Lenkabelle was a clever girl, and devised a plan to save the tyrant prince. She grabbed her peasant clothes and handed them to him. 'My Prince' she said, 'take these clothes and flee. I shall take your place, and none shall be the wiser."
"Rintopher was equally clever. 'But dear sister, your adopted brother is out for my blood. Surely you must know what will happen if you are discovered! You shall be charged with treason of the highest degree, no less! Execution would be your fate even if you are not revealed!"
" 'I am well aware, my prince, but I am your servant first and your sister second. My orders are to guard you with my life, even if it results in my death. Let this be my final gift to you.' "
" 'Very well, but know that I shall never forget this, or you.' "
"And with that, Rintopher fled. Lenkabelle was taken in his place, and was to be executed by guillotine at three past noon in the town center."
"As the crowd gathered, Jeramei led Lenkabelle to her death, all the while knowing full well who it really was he had in his custody."
"Spotting the prince in the crowd, he mouthed the phrase 'for my father' before returning his full attention to Kay and Lenkabelle."
"Kay read Lenkabelle her, or rather Rintopher's, charges aloud. When she was done, she turned to the girl. 'Rintopher Lucian d'Autriche, do you have anything to say on this, the end of your days?' "
"Lenkabelle smirked at Kay and spoke the first words since she was captured, words that she had practiced every day in her head, without an ounce of remorse."
The twins both said the next line together.
"Oh, look. Its time for a snack."
"And the guillotine fell."
"Taking Rintopher's tyrant kingdom of evil with it."
The group stood up and streched.
"That certainly was an interesting take on the story, kids." Kiyo said, cracking his back.
"It was... alright." Yuki said, reciving a jab in the side from her male counterpart.
"Admit it, it was awesome!" Yukito said.
"Well, we'd best be off. We've got a recording to do." Rinto said, waving to the kids.
"See you guys later!" Lenka said with a smile.
The sound of their RoadRoller starting up, followed by a crunching sound ment the twins had left, taking a chunk of the concrete barrier with them.
Back the classroom, Yuki glanced at the clock and got an evil smile on her face.
"Oh, look. It's time for a snack."
