The next morning, Miku awoke to Rin and Len shaking her awake. "What?" she asked sleepily. Len held up a piece of paper close to her face, and Miku tried to focus on it. Unable to, she pushed it away from her face. "Did you get a song?" she asked, guessing that was what the paper was.

"Yep," Len nodded, "And it's a duet with Rin." He pulled Rin closer to him. Miku studied them.

"You aren't...a couple...are you? Am I missing something?" she asked cautiously. Then she saw Rin and Len simultaneously look disappointed at her. "Ah, sorry. I just did the same thing everyone else did, didn't I? You're best friends. I knew that." Miku tried to recover herself. "Well, I have a song too, so let's go to the recording room together," she suggested.

Rin and Len agreed and started to walk out the door. Miku followed them, happy to let them lead for once. However, when they got to the recording room, she almost turned around and went straight back. In the room where Miku, Rin, and Len waited, the current song being sung was coming out of a speaker. Miku recognized Kaito's voice as the one doing the singing.

The song ended and Kaito walked out. He saw Miku trying to look inconspicuous, which was really impossible since there were only three people in the room, and laughed. "Come to listen?" he asked, knowing full well Miku would never do such a thing.

"You can leave now," she replied dryly. He shrugged his shoulders and walked out. Seconds later, he came back in.

"Actually, I think I'll stay here and listen to Rin and Len sing," he said smiling at the two now beaming Vocaloids. Miku rolled her eyes. She got up and tried to physically push Kaito out of the room, but Kaito just stood there and shook his head at Rin and Len, who giggled in return.

Tired, Miku sat back down, and Kaito sat down next to her. She scooted away from him, and he respected her space. At least, he respected it for the moment.

Rin and Len went into the room to sing their song, and Kaito moved closer to Miku just to see her try to scoot off the end of the couch. "Did you look at your new song yet?" he asked.

"How did you know I got a new song?" she asked, wondering if he was spying on her or something like that.

He held up a piece of paper. It clearly said 'A duet for Hatsune Miku and Kaito.' Miku let out an audible groan. "And the funny thing is," said Kaito, "It's the same tune as the song your roommates are singing right now, so listen closely," he said, winking at her.

Miku narrowed her eyes but started listening to the song. She grew nervous as she listened to the lyrics. They seemed kind of...suggestive. She realized what Kaito meant by the tune being the same, because she definitely wouldn't be singing these lyrics. They were written for look-a-likes.

Miku decided the song was actually kind of cute and sad. She still worried about Rin and Len's reputations though. When they finished, she told them good job as they came out and then went into the room with Kaito. She read through her lyrics and sighed. "Well, I have to be in love with you, but at least I get to almost kill you," she said.

Kaito laughed. Their song started and Miku had to force herself into character. Besides her lack of attraction to Kaito, she sang her character quite nicely, and once again was proud of herself.

Miku said good-bye to Kaito discreetly under her breath, and left with Rin and Len to go back to their room. Miku turned to Rin. "So, how did you like your song?"

"I really liked it. It sounded nice," said Rin simply.

Miku knew she would go over the edge some day, but she just had to ask. "What did you think about...the meaning?"

"Well, I think it was sad. I guess Vocaloids don't grow, but if I were a human and looked the exact same as Len, I would hate to start becoming different."

Miku sighed on the inside. She decided to just let it go. If Rin and Len were happy with it, Miku didn't want to ruin it for them. She wondered if they were too innocent to suspect anything, or if they honestly weren't bothered at all by it.

They arrived at their room, and found that it wasn't even noon yet. Miku, tired of reading, decided that they should think of a game. Rin and Len put on thoughtful looks as they tried to think of something to entertain themselves.

After a few minutes, Rin gave up. "I've got nothing," she said. "After all, I'm a singing robot, not a genius robot."

"You don't have to be a genius to think of a game," Len said in a belittling tone.

"Then why haven't you thought of one?" Rin asked disdainfully.

"I'm a genius."

Miku couldn't quite see how that logic worked, but she supposed it didn't matter. Unfortunately, the only person Miku could think of that would likely have a game was Kaito. She really didn't want to make it into a habit to visit him, but it looked like it was going to happen anyway.

"OK guys, it looks like we're going to go visit Kaito," Miku said in mock sadness. Rin, still trying to jump on possibilities to tease Miku, opened her mouth, but Len stopped her. Apparently with a new respect for him, Rin held back whatever comment she had planned to throw at Miku.

The three walked back to Kaito's door, where Miku had lost count of how many times she had knocked in the past day. "Do either of you want to knock?" she asked, turning to Len and Rin. She hoped that maybe if one of them knocked, it wouldn't seem like it was her idea.

"Sure," Rin said. She went up and knocked firmly. Gakupo opened the door, and, guessing they were looking for Kaito, pointed to the table. Kaito looked up and spotted them.

"You guys just can't get enough of me, can you?" he said, feigning exasperation. He couldn't help but smile again. "But for real, what brings you here again so soon?"

"We're bored," Len stated.

"Yeah," agreed Rin, "And this 'genius' can't think of any games." She pretended to elbow Len.

"Well aren't you lucky; I have a game right here," said Kaito, as he pointed to a deck of cards. Rin, Len, and Miku, uneducated on such subjects as card games, looked at him blankly. Kaito pretended to be surprised. "You mean you've never played a card game?" he asked.

Miku shook her head. Rin and Len shrugged.

"OK, well I guess I'll have to teach you how to play one," said Kaito, and started to explain when Miku interrupted him.

"Where do you even get all of this stuff?" Miku asked, wondering why she didn't have anything but books.

"Some things appear because of your personality," Kaito explained, "but Meiko will give you a whole lot of stuff if you know what you want. Remember, she's in charge of this thing."

Miku made a mental note to ask Meiko for a hairbrush in the future, though wondered why Meiko couldn't give her a hairband. "Maybe she didn't have any because her hair is so short," Miku decided.

"OK, well get on with the game," demanded Miku, and Kaito shrugged and started explaining again. Apparently the game was called 'Go Fish,' though Miku couldn't for the life of her figure out what fish had to do with anything.

They played happily for hours, Miku's feelings towards Kaito softening. Gakupo joined in, being very good at the game. Len turned out to be really good too. He jokingly reminded Rin multiple times, "I am a genius, after all."

Eventually, interest in the game faded. "Cherish your free time right now," Kaito said, "You'll probably have to spend a lot more time singing when you become more popular."

"Why do you have so much free time?" asked Miku, and then regretted it.

"I'm just not as popular. I was one of the first Vocaloids, along with Meiko, but people just aren't as interested in us. That's why I teach though. As soon as my lessons start again next week, I'll be busier," Kaito explained, his tone less cheerful than usual.

Miku felt sad and surprised at the same time. She felt bad for Kaito. It wasn't his fault that he was an earlier version of Vocaloid. She was surprised because he obviously expected her to become famous. She felt grateful towards him; even though she constantly tried to insult him, he still supported her efforts as a singer.

The mood having become less happy, Miku decided it would be best if she left. She took Rin and Len with her, and together they went to Meiko to get some cards. Miku was hoping she could find more card games to play eventually.

Meiko gladly fulfilled their request and brought them a deck of cards. Len, determined to make up a game, sat in his bed and stared at the wall. Rin turned to Miku and made a face, as if to say, "I think he might be crazy." Miku decided to take a quick nap to rest her eyes; staring at cards for so long had made her sleepy for some reason.

She awoke to see Len throwing the cards up in the air. "What are you doing?..." Miku asked. Len, happy Miku was awake, started to explain his 'game.'

"See, you throw the cards into the air," he began excitedly, "Then you pick them up, and then you sort them into piles in order by number and based on the matching symbols!" He gathered his cards up. "I call it Banana."

Rin rolled her eyes. "Real genius right there," she said quietly to Miku. Miku laughed. She had begun to think Len was maturing, but apparently he could still be just as silly sometimes.

Ok, another short chapter. I just keep getting even more creative with the chapter titles. Not. That doesn't seem to be a specialty of mine.

I'm hoping you were able to guess the song. If not, that was Adolescence and Cendrillon.

By the way, I'm really awesome at Go Fish. Therefore that is the game I used. NO QUESTIONS. My sister also really did make up that game "Banana" but she called it Corndog... Don't ask me, I don't know what goes through her head...
