"Yeah, Rinto and I are going to the grade school this afternoon to read to Yuki and the others." Lenka told Rin, smoothing her skirt. Why Lenka wore a skirt, instead of shorts like her family, nobody was sure. "I guess all the other 'loids have to do it, too."
"Huh, yeah." Rin said, yawning. "Unless we're reading something cool, like 'Fear Garden', then why bother?"
"Rin!" Lenka cried. "You know we can't read 'Fear Garden'! Miki won't even let them watch your PV!"
"Did I hear my name?" sf-a2 Miki said, walking into class with Teto and Neru.
"Yeah, Rin want's Rinto and I to read 'Fear Garden' to the little kids, but I told her you don't even want them to see the PV!"
"Is that the one we all had to dress in military school uniforms for?"
"Oh, puh-leeze." Rinto said. "'Kagome, Kagome' is a much better choice. It has kids, and they are kids."
"I will never understand your logic, dear brother." Lenka sighed.
"Alright class, take your seats." Kiyomi Hiyama said. Her and her brother, Kiyoteru, both taught school. But Kiyoteru teaches Middle school, and Kiyomi is an elementary teacher. Sometimes, they liked to swap places and teach the other group. Today is one of those days.
"Ah, Ms. Kiyomi, today is a swap day?" Sakine asked.
"Yep. And I have some great news. Today we have a new student." The class began to whisper. 'Who do you think it is?' 'Is it one of the V3 Vocaloids?'
"Alright, alright." Kiyomi said, tapping on her desk with a ruler. "Everyone, please welcome our new classmate, Ms. Culnoza."
A readheaded girl in a long coat walked in and stood in front of the class, her confidence showing quite well.
"Ms. Culnoza, why don't you tell the class about yourself?"
"Yo. The name's Culnoza, but you all can call me CUL. I'm a V3 from Internet CO. I also host VocaloRevolution."
"Oh! That's right." Miku said. "But you looked so different on TV."
"It's called a costume change, dearie. You should try it sometime." Cul grinned.
"Hey, that wasn't very nice, y'know." Sakine told her.
"Aw, get over it, old lady."
"OLD LADY?" Sakine shouted, standing up. "I'm sixteen!"
"Yeah, a sixteen year old running on obsolete somftware."
"What?"
Cul faked surprise. "Oh, you didn't hear? Yamaha no longer supports Vocaloid1, and is phasing out Vocaloid2. I guess you could call me your sucessor, Hatsune."
"Oh, really? I'd like to see you even try to achive my type of fame." Miku shot back. This girl was like Lily, but with even more attitude.
"Pff, easy. I can surpass you and the super-dying twins over there." She blinked. "Oh, there are two sets of you now?"
"Yeah, there is. So watch it, missy!" Rinto snapped.
"Alright, don't get your panties in a bunch."
"What makes you think I wear panties?"
"Pantsu nugero mon, that's what."
Rinto huffed and sat down. He hated that song, but as Rin's genderbend, he was pretty much obligated to cover it, much to the amusement of the other Kagamines.
"Okay, okay. Everyone just needs to chill out." Teto interjected. "Aren't we supposed to welcome the new girl, not bite her head off?"
"Thanks, obasan." Cul said, sitting down behind Neru, who had fallen asleep.
Teto just nodded and sat down, emotionless. Obasan... a middle aged woman...
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
"Ow, watch it, missy!"
"Why don't you?"
The Kagamines let out a group sigh. This was the sixth... seventh...
"This is the eight time you guys have started arguing over something!"
Right, eigth time Cul and Neru have started arguing. Ever since Neru woke up long enough to notice Cul, the two have done nothing but fight.
"Guys, guys, knock it off!" Iroha said from the end of the table where she sat with Miki (who was mad at Rinto for suggesting horror stories to read to kids) and Piko (who was burying himself in his PSP.)
"Look, Cul. I don't know why you're so mean to the others. We're all friends. Well, most of us. There is no reason to act like we're all enemies."
Cul looked at the twelve year old and laughed. "Kid, you've got some nerve standing up to me. I like that." Iroha looked shocked. That wasn't the reaction she was expecting. "I'm not enemies with anyone. Its just fun to watch you all get so butthurt over everything."
"Really?" Miku said.
"Really. But what I said earlier still stands. I'm gonna outfame you by miles, Hatsune."
"I'd like to see you try, Cul."
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
"Yo, Kiyomi!"
"Oh, hello Lily. How are you?"
"I'm pretty good, thanks. But I'm not here about me. I'm here about Culnoza."
"Oh, Ms. Cul!" Hiyomi nodded. "What do you need to know?"
"I just wanted to know how everyone treated her. Was it okay?"
"Oh, yes. It was wonderful. There was a bit of a spat in the morning, but by the end of the day, they seemed pretty friendly."
"Good. I was worried." Lily admitted.
"You of all people, worried? Lily, your motherly instincts are showing."
"Ah-er... d-don't be silly. I'm just curious. If anything I'm worried about everyone else. Cul is..."
"She's a lot like you."
"Yeah. Yeah, I suppose she is."
"I have high hopes for her, and I'm sure the fans feel the same way. She'll be well loved."
A/N: Aww, Lily cares. How adorable. Yeah, so this is my way of welcoming CUL into the Vocaloid universe.
Cul's a brat. But I Iove her.
Oh, and while I imply here that Culnoza is her full name, CUL is also short for CULture. But my French-speaking aquaintences (and sister) have been mentioning that 'cul' is an obsene word that translates to [ss]. So... I call her Culnoza.
Also, this is my way of explaining why Kiyo is teaching middle school in File Four, but grade school in File Five. Derp. It was either this or clones...
