I am exhausted. But I will post this chapter before I collapse in my bed and take a much needed nap ^_^

Anyway, I think there's a glitch with the reviews or something, because I can't see any reviews that were posted after Friday. Unless you guys abandoned me or something. I highly doubt that though. So if you reviewed and you aren't getting a reply, I'm terribly sorry. Enjoy.

Miku marched through the hallways the following morning. She knew she wouldn't be able to guess where Momo's room was, even though she was sure it had to be close to her own, seeing how they were made on the same day. She did know Meiko would be able to tell her where to go.

"Meiko~," Miku called out in a singsong voice, as she approached Meiko who was standing where she always seemed to stay. "Can you lead me to Momo and Mako's room?"

Meiko nodded and led Miku off towards the correct door. Once they had arrived, Meiko left and Miku stared at the door. She knew Mako's friend probably hadn't meant any harm, but she still couldn't get over the fact that the girl had purposely ruined Rin, Len, Haku, Kaito, and partially SeeU.

Miku stood there, trying to determine the best way to confront the girls about the problem. If she asked to meet Kanon, they might realize that she knew what had happened. Then again, if she was wrong about her guess, and Kanon had nothing to do with it, it would be silly not to ask upfront. But so much evidence was pointing to Kanon that it was hard for Miku to believe otherwise.

Reaching a decision, Miku raised her hand and knocked quickly on the door. Momo and Mako came to the door together. "I wonder if getting a visitor is a big thing for them, or something," Miku thought.

Momo's face brightened up when she saw Miku. "Miku! What brings you here?" she asked excitedly.

"I decided I wanted to make some more friends, and I was hoping I could make friends with anyone you know," she lied, hoping she wasn't being too obvious.

"Oh that's awesome!" Momo said, looking quite happy. "You can meet my friend Defoko first. She's kinda mean sometimes, but it's OK, I guess," Momo continued, her expression darkening. "You could call her my best friend," Momo added, suddenly cheerful again.

Miku looked at Momo for a moment. "OK," she agreed, hoping that maybe, if she was lucky, Defoko's roommate would be...

Momo led Miku to Defoko's room, with Mako tagging along in the rear, though she didn't talk much. "A lot like Makoto," Miku thought.

When Momo knocked on the door, to Miku's surprise, Teto answered. "Hi," Teto greeted, then turned. "Uta! Momo's at the door," she called, though the girl was standing just a few feet away.

"Uta?" Miku asked curiously.

"Yeah, she has two names," Momo explained briefly.

"Doesn't everybody?" Miku wondered aloud.

Defoko came to the door, a girl a few inches taller than Momo, with short purple hair. She didn't look as ready to express her emotions as Momo, though. Her straight face and half-closed eyes gave her a skeptical look.

"Defoko," Momo said sweetly, "This is Miku. You probably watched her give her speech."

Defoko gave Miku a smile while nodding. "Pleased to meet you," she said politely.

Momo looked between Miku and Defoko happily. "So I guess you already know Teto," she began, sounding slightly disappointed. "I was hoping you could meet more than one person, so let's get one of Mako's friends. You can meet Mako's best friend! I bet you'd like her! She likes leeks too!" Momo told Miku, her excitement seeming to rise with every sentence.

Miku tried to control her eagerness. "Sure," she said, hoping she sounded normal. "But, ah, how did you know I liked leeks?"

Defoko spoke up. "It was one of the first things you said in your speech."

"Right," Miku said, blushing slightly in embarrassment. Defoko and Miku followed Mako and Momo to the said girl's room.

"Oh...my...gosh..."

A girl with pink hair had opened the door and was now staring up at Miku, her eyes wide. Miku noticed one eye was green and the other was purple.

"You're Miku!" the girl squealed, jumping up and down excitedly. "I've always wanted to meet you!"

Miku smiled politely. "Yeah, and I have some questions to ask you. You're Ayane Kanon, right?" she asked.

The Utauloid nodded. "You can call me Kanon. I don't mind. We're friends now, right?" she asked cheerfully.

"Ah, sure," Miku said. "Now do you or do you not know magic?"

Kanon nodded vigorously, still not realizing what Miku was getting at.

"Did you do something weird to my friends?"

Kanon's smile disappeared. "I was only trying to help," she said, her voice having a whiny edge to it.

"OK, OK, I'm not blaming you," Miku said quickly, even though she really had been planning to. "Just tell me exactly what happened."

Kanon took a deep breath, and Miku braced herself for a long story. "So you talked to Momo before your speech, right, and she realized you were having trouble finding friends. I was sitting with Mako during Rin and Len's speech, and when Momo joined us she said she needed to talk. So it turns out that you said some of the same things you said to Momo in your speech, and I listened very carefully because you said your character item was a leek." Kanon paused to smile proudly.

"So then you finished your speech, and Momo quickly told us that she felt sorry for you, and wished there was a way that you would be able to make more friends. I said that maybe since you could only make friends when they were forced upon you, I could use a tiny bit of magic and cause a situation where you'd have to make friends. At this point, it was all my fault, so don't blame Momo or Mako.

"I saw you and SeeU start to leave, so I followed you, trying to think of what to do. I suddenly had a great idea, to get rid of your current friends, so that you'd feel like you needed more friends. I couldn't just hide your friends, so I decided to take away their best feature.

"Now I knew I'd have to act quickly, otherwise you'd see the change as you were talking to your friends. I only used a tiny bit of magic on SeeU while you were talking to her, so that I could add more later, when you weren't with her. The only other people that I knew you were really close to were Rin and Len, so I quickly directed some magic at them, even though I wasn't near them, and I figured that would be fine. I decided to watch you a while, just to be sure.

"It seemed to be working, and the next morning I watched your room, and saw you go into Rin and Len's room. I waited until you came out, and heard you mention Haku and Kaito. Kaito's a teacher, so I know him, and I've heard Haku's name a few times, so I was able to hastily use some magic on them."

Miku interrupted. "Wait, this isn't a very believable story. Why can you just randomly use magic? And why were Haku and Kaito already in their own rooms?"

"Hey, let me finish," Kanon complained. "Why can you sing well? We just all have stuff built into us, I guess. Anyway," she continued. "So I used magic on Haku and Kaito, then I guess you found them, and you looked pretty sad, so I figured my work was done. I stopped watching you, and now here you are, making friends!"

Miku stared blankly at Kanon. "Are. You. Serious?"

Kanon nodded. "You wanted to know."

Miku pressed her palm to her forehead. "And I'm really hoping you know how to reverse it, because Rin has to sing at a concert in four days and Len can't be mad at the world."

"I can...promise never to use it to affect you again?" Kanon offered.

"You mean you can't fix it."

Kanon giggled nervously. Miku sighed in exasperation. "There has to be a way to fix it. Have you ever used magic before?"

"A few times, yeah, but this was a special occasion because it was for Miku!" Kanon exclaimed.

"There has to be some sort of reverse spell-thingy," Miku suggested in growing desperation. "Here, how about you come with me to Rin and Len's room, to see if we can get anything out of them." She started to leave, and Momo, Mako, Defoko, and Kanon followed.

"Wait!" Kanon called. "I should get my wand."

The others waited while she retrieved her odd character item, and she skipped back towards them once she had gotten it. Miku walked on, unenthusiastic and slow compared to Kanon's bouncy energy.

A few minutes later, in Rin and Len's room, Miku was trying to calm Kanon down.

"They're so cute in person! Oh my gosh they're so awesome!" Kanon squealed.

"We're not here to stare at Rin and Len," Miku said, rolling her eyes. "Now figure out how to fix them."

Rin, who seemed to be reading, looked up and tilted her head curiously. Len, who had let the group in, narrowed his eyes. "Fix us? Are we broken or something?" he asked, annoyed.

"Sort of?" Kanon answered nervously. She held up her wand and pointed to it. "I kind of used some magic on you and made you weird."

"Are. You. Serious?" he asked.

"That was my reaction too!" Miku exclaimed. Then she quieted her voice slightly. "Now fix it, please Kanon."

"But I can't try anything if I don't know anything that fixes it!" she protested.

"And Kaito gave you the wand, so he might know more than you, yet you messed him up too. Nice," Miku remarked sarcastically. "How did you even know how to change personalities?"

"Mako wanted me to test it on Momo, and see if Momo got quieter, just for fun, but then we decided against it," Kanon explained.

"And Kaito taught you that? He seriously would let you do that? And why didn't he recognize what had happened when you used it on him?" Miku asked.

"Yes, he taught me that, because he can't really tell me not to use my character item. I'm sure there's something built into the spell to hide its presence," Kanon answered.

"Hold on, what exactly did you instruct your wand to do?" Miku asked yet another question.

"Well, I thought it in my head, but anyway, you say: remove...name of person...'s favorite quality from...name of different person."

"Well that's conveniently specific... If it works according to a certain person's preferences, let's just find somebody who likes Rin's quietness and Len's annoyance, and use the spell with their name," Miku offered.

"Eh, that works, I suppose, but who really likes when Rin's quiet and Len's unpleasant?" Kanon asked.

Miku hadn't thought that far. "I have no clue."

There was a knock at the door. Mako, who was closest to the door, reached over and opened it. Meiko was standing in the doorway.

"Oh, looks like a party's going on in here," Meiko said cheerfully. "Good, you're in here too, Miku," she added, seeing Miku. "Rin, Len, and Miku, you'll be leaving for the concert tomorrow. We'll be flying to Tokyo for your concert, so you'll need your character item, and you need to pick out a few different outfits from Kaito."

With that, Meiko left, leaving no time for Miku to ask a question. Miku instead turned to Kanon. "Add a person who likes when Kaito is serious and pessimistic to the list of non-existent people we need to find."

"Within the next day, too," Momo added.

"You're not helping," Defoko whispered.

"Eh? Really?" Momo pouted.

Kanon giggled nervously. "Secret Mission 05938 has begun."

"You just made up that number," Miku said as she rolled her eyes, unimpressed.

"OK, we'll call it Mission Make Miku...Merry?"

Miku sighed. "Whatever, let's go."

Also, quick reminder, I put up a poll on my profile about whether I should write a sequel to this or not, and I'd appreciate it if you voted. (Last time I said something about it, I hadn't actually put it up yet, so that was my fault if you looked and couldn't find it.)
