… Um… I CAN EXPLAIN! DX

I was really super mega busy near the end of the school year, so the three chapter thingy wasn't gonna happen, then my summer was stuffed full of Maria from Sound of Music and I had to rehearse like nuts to perform the play in just 2 weeks, then I got super lazy and watched some anime that my friend highly recommended for me, one of which being Death Note, and then I had to prepare my cosplay as Mikuo for the Comic Con in Toronto, then school started again and I forgot about the concept of fanfiction for about a week, then I remembered, then I started typing like a mad fool, and here we are. D: sorry everyone! I'm such a baka… *slams head into a wall repeatedly*

Since I'm in grade 8 now and I have bucketloads of homework to do every night, I'm sad to say that this will be the last chapter, 'cuz I have to work on my other abandoned stories that have like, only 2 or 3 chapters. Since this story wasn't really that popular mostly because there was a lack of Vocaloids, I don't think anyone will be majorly upset. ^^;

So this chapter will probably be on the shorter side, but at least it's a chapter, right? Enjoy the super late chapter that shouldn't have to be the last one~

Meef's POV

I sighed as I flopped onto my bed on my stomach, kicking my legs a little on the air as I turned on my DSI. A whole year had passed since XDemon and I turned into our OCs, and now here we are; our OCs are real characters that live around us, and I recently discovered that Shadow and Lento are in love… I kinda caught them kissing in the hallway at school where there was no one around… yeah, that was a little embarrassing, but I found out anyways, and I accept their relationship, so it's all good, like apple pies~

I looked through the list of Vocaloid fanfictions, and couldn't find one that interested me. I sighed again, turning off my DSi and putting it aside, plugging it into the wall to charge. I looked around my room for a second, then hopped off my bed and looked out the window. It was around 9:50pm, and I had nothing to do! Lento and Shadow were downstairs doing who-knows-what. They were probably chatting with my parents, since my parents also recently discovered their relationship. Turns out, they saw it coming and weren't even mad or happy. They were somewhere in between.

My door creaked open and I blinked, turning my head and looking at who entered my lair. I saw Lento and Shadow, both staring at me with their big eyes, and I couldn't help but giggle as I saw they were holding hands. They both blushed, then Lento closed the door so we wouldn't wake anyone up if we decided to talk.

"How's the relationship coming along?" I asked casually as Shadow laid down on my bed, Lento lying own beside him.

"It's fine… why are you asking?" Shadow replied, cuddling into Lento's side as Lento coiled his arms around Shadow, hugging him.

"I'm a curious yaoi fangirl, that's why!" I huffed, turning away stubbornly. "Shotas these days…" I heard Lento cough.

"W-we're not shotas!" he said a moment later, and I could just hear the pout in his voice.

"Yes you are~" I said, turning to look at him teasingly. He was indeed pouting, and his face was turning red. If he were wearing green, I'd have a good reason to call him a Christmas tree.

"Whatever, shota~" I teased, and I stood up, stretched, then hopped into bed beside them. It was a little crowdy, since my parents didn't have something else for them to sleep on, so we all had to sleep on the same, tiny bed until they had something for them to sleep on.

"G'night…" I said softly into Lento's ear, and he shivered a little as I pulled the covers up over our bodies.

"Goodnight…" they both replied back in unison, making them blush again before I turned out the light beside me, closing my eyes in preparation to sleep.

OoOoO

I looked down at the boy curled into a ball, cuddling against me. I had my arms wrapped in a comforting way around him, and he was crying. I found out just by looking at his hair and by the sound of his sobs that it was Lento. I took a strand of my hair from one of my pigtails, and blinked a few times when I saw long, brown hair with red and teal highlights. I sighed silently. It was another of those dreams where I was Teiku, and Lento is being forced away from me… only this time, he was here, with me, not being pulled away. I hesitantly put my hand on his head and he looked up at me with watery eyes. I whispered, since I figured it was necessary.

"Um… are you okay?" I asked gently. He nodded, his smile breaking through his tears.

"I'm fine if you're here…" he said, and I had to smile back at him. His theory was pretty accurate, since in all of my roleplays, than Teiku and Lento are only happy if they're together, really. Or, if at least they know where each other is, and they know each other is safe.

Lento slowly stood up, and I stood up after him and he began to walk away. I suddenly got really confused. Why was he leaving?

"W-wait, where are you going?" I asked. He looked back at me and smiled again, turning to face me. I flinched when I saw that there was a knife lodged into his chest and blood was gushing from the wound. I felt my eyes start to water at the sight.

"I want to be independent now…" he said. "I don't want to be helped all the time, I want to help myself." He said in a more serious tone, his smile dropping.

"W-why is that there?" I asked, pointing to the knife in his chest. He looked at it, as if only just noticing it, and shrugged.

"I felt I needed a reminder of my independence."

"So… you stabbed yourself in the chest?"

"Yeah."

"… I see…"

"I should be leaving now." He turned away from me again and started to walk away. I felt a few tears roll down my cheek. What was going on? He never acts like this… but, then again, this is only a dream… That's probably why. Lento would never do this in real life…

My vision began to fade from Lento to white, and I knew I was waking up as my eyes closed, then opened again to reveal my bedroom ceiling, which needed repainting.

"Lento…? I had a really strange dream, it was when you…" I looked beside me to Lento, but he wasn't there. Neither was Shadow. I blinked. Were they already awake? I stumbled out of bed, lazily getting redressed and walking out of my room with the binder I needed for school that day, slowly closing the door in case anyone else was still asleep.

"Hey, mommeh," I said playfully to my mom, who was at her computer like usual. She looked over and smiled at me.

"Hi honey pie—I mean apple pie~" she saved herself from disaster. We had this weird agreement that she should call me 'apple pie' instead of 'honey pie'.

"Have you seen Lento or Shadow?" I asked. She blinked.

"… oh, you mean those characters you have?" she replied. My mouth went agape.

"w-w-wah? They've been alive and living here for like, a year now!" I said back frantically. She only stared at me.

"Are you okay? Do you want me to get you a psychiatrist?" she asked. I felt my eye twitch. She must've been joking or something… I walked into the living room and spotted my dad on the couch. Lento and Shadow were sitting on the other couch, the one I usually sit on when I have my laptop. They both looked at me with teary eyes.

"Uh, are you guys okay?" I asked. My dad looked at me funny.

"Umm… I'm okay." He said. I looked at him.

"I was talking to Lento and Shadow," I said, pouting. They both stared at my dad in shock, then they both started to cry silently, hugging each other. I walked over to where they were sitting, forgetting about my dad who went back to his work, and sat beside them.

"What's wrong?" I whispered. I put on some music on my laptop to cover up the talking, in case they had a secret or something they didn't want my family to know.

"N-no one can see us," Lento said. "A-and we heard your mom e-earlier; it seems everyone's f-forgotten about us…" my mouth fell open again.

"That's impossible! You guys are so freaking important it'd be impossible to forget you!" I tried to reason with them, but they only shook their heads.

"They forgot about is, Meef…" Shadow confirmed, leaning into Lento's side as he wrapped his arms around him. "They can't see us, they don't reply to us when we say something to them, they can't even remember that we exist…" I felt my own eyes water up. Is this what dream Lento meant by becoming independent? But it looks like it wasn't his choice to become invisible like this!

I thought for a moment… perhaps dream Lento was warning me that this would happen. A little late for a warning, dude.

"It's fine, I can still see you and that's all that counts, right?~" I giggled, smiling at them to calm them down. They both looked at me, slowly nodding their heads and cuddling up next to each other.

About a week passed since Lento and Shadow's 'disappearance', and they'd already gotten used to not being able to come in contact with anyone. It would've taken me months to get used to that! I called XDemon to tell her what happened, and it turns out the same thing had happened to Nene. Maybe the cable mishap was temporary…? Every once in a while, Lento and Shadow have a little conversation with me or with each other, and sometimes even with other OCs! This weird ability that I have to see other peoples' OCs, I like to call it 'OC vision', comes in handy sometimes when Green pops up to try flirting around with Colin or Hoshii or any of those other characters. I'd giggle randomly at something they're saying, or I'd say something back to them, and people would often accuse me of talking to myself. It didn't matter, though. At least I was being myself and having fun, right?

Corny ending, I know, but hey, it's finished so I don't have to write anymore and I can get rid of the weight on my shoulders! :D *drops weight she was carrying around in her pocket* now then, *clears throat* I thank all the people who motivated me to keep this going for as long as it did. I was seriously planning to end this story back a few chapters, when XDemon and I reversed the weird thing that turned us into OCs, but then I got carried away with the idea of our OCs coming to life. So, hope you all enjoyed!
