I know, it's sort of late, but, I STILL GOT IT DONE.

Also, please note that I have never been to Tokyo nor have I been to any sort of concert, so most of what I describe comes from me making it up or a youtube video. Thank you for your patience. (And before you yell at me, I know that a concert should be longer than seven songs. Oh well, it's fiction ^_^)


"GOOD MORNING!" Rin said brightly as she beamed at Miku.

Miku was standing outside her room, after having been scared senseless by Rin banging on the door. "Where's Len?" Miku asked.

"He's waiting for us with Meiko and Luka, so I suggest you go get your stuff and come with me," Rin said with her hands on her hips.

Miku said nothing as she shuffled back towards her bed to get her leek and clothes. She rejoined Rin and they walked in silence to Meiko.

"So, you said we're flying to Tokyo?" Miku asked once she had reached Meiko, Luka, and Len. "In an airplane, right?" she asked.

Meiko nodded. "Even though you may see towns or cities outside your windows, those are just images of other places. We're really on our own island that has been given to Vocaloids and Utauloids. The details get pretty complicated around that, but just know that we're going to get on a plane, fly to Tokyo, where we'll stay in a house that's just for us, then you'll perform in your concert, then we'll fly back home. Sound good?"

Rin nodded quickly, then clapped in excitement. "So how about we leave now?" she asked, looking from Meiko to Luka to Len to Miku.

Meiko smiled. "Follow me," she said, and turned to walk down a hallfway that Miku remembered from her first day. The group followed Meiko as they went through a couple doors before finding themselves blinking in the bright sunlight.

"Woah," Rin said, as she adjusted to the brightness. "Is that an airplane?"

Everyone looked in the direction she was pointing. "Well, considering the fact that there's absolutely nothing else out here, that would be a pretty good guess," Len said sarcastically.

Meiko kept walking towards the apparent airplane. "It's bigger than our road roller," Rin remarked in awe as she got closer.

"Why is it so big? There's only four of us," Miku questioned.

"We're just borrowing one. This would normally carry a lot of people," Meiko explained. She walked up some stairs to the airplane's door and disappeared inside.

Rin and Len followed, with Miku and Luka right behind them. Miku could feel excitement rising up in her as she walked up the stairs. She peered inside the airplane and saw row after row of seats. Rin and Len were running to the very back.

"Rin! Len!" Miku called after them. "Why are you going back there?"

Len turned around and shrugged. Miku sighed and followed them to the back after setting her small amount of baggage on one of the first few chairs. She sat down next to Len, since Rin wanted the window seat, and fell asleep.

One long nap later, Miku awoke to Len shaking her shoulders. She blinked sleepily as Rin huffed impatiently. "Get up, sleepyhead," Rin ordered.

Miku sighed and undid her seat's buckle before getting up and trudging to the front of the plane. Meiko and Luka were waiting for them at the front of the plane. Miku picked up her stuff and followed Meiko through a passageway that hadn't been there before.

"So who was flying the plane?" Miku asked as she tried to wake up fully.

"That's one of the more complicated things," Meiko replied. "But basically, a human was."

"Mm," Miku replied distractedly as she looked at her surroundings for the first time. "Where are we?"

"We're in an airport. Don't get distracted by the people here, just remember you're a famous celebrity. You too," Meiko said as she turned to look at Len and Rin. They nodded in response. "Now come with me and we'll go get a ride to our temporary home."

Miku felt like she was in a dream as she got on a bus with Rin and Len. All she could do was stare in amazement out the bus window as all kinds of things flew past her vision.

When they finally reached their 'house,' which turned out to be a small building next to the one where the concert would be held, Meiko once again led them to where they were supposed to go, then she left to a room that she and Luka would share. Inside the room that Rin, Len, and Miku were supposed to share, the only things that occupied it were three beds and a table.

"I brought cards~!" Rin sang out, after Miku and Len had followed her into the room. Miku laughed as Rin eagerly started dealing cards at the table. As Miku sat down along with Len to play cards, she sighed, thinking about the concert that was in three days.

"Any idea what we're supposed to do for the next three days?" Miku asked right before the game started. "I mean, we can't really go outside, or at least I don't think we're supposed to."

"Len, do you have any aces?" Rin stared Len down from across the table.

"Go fish. I guess we just hang out and relax? We don't really need to go out," Len said.

"Len, do you have any fours?" Miku asked. "That seems boring."

"Why do you both have to ask me?" Len mumbled as he handed Miku a card. "I didn't organize this trip. Maybe Meiko was afraid if we flew here only one day before the concert, we'd be tired or something."

"Well I got a card from you, didn't I?" Miku said smugly. "I suppose so, but I'm not tired," she added. "My turn again. Rin, do you have any fours?"

Rin looked back and forth between Miku and Len. "You guys are being so confusing..." she remarked. "Oh well. Go fish, Miku."

The game continued on without any more side conversations, and Miku noticed illumination behind the room's window was fading. At the end of the game, Miku put down her cards and walked over to the window to peek outside.

"What time was it when we got here, anyway?" she asked, looking around for a clock. "Darn, I should have brought my alarm clock. I can't find a clock in here."

"I don't know," Rin replied plainly.

"There's a clock right there..." Len said slowly, pointing right next to the window.

Miku glanced at the clock. "Ah...I guess we got here at about 6:00? That must've been a really long plane ride. I wonder how far our home is from Toyko," Miku wondered aloud.

"Who knows," Rin said absentmindedly. "I'm kind of sad that we didn't get to say bye to Kaito and Haku, or any of our friends, for that matter," she said randomly.

"It's not like we'll never see them again..." Len said as he rolled his eyes.

"But they might have wanted to wish us luck or something," Miku added.

Len looked from one girl to the other in defeat. "You two are weird."

Miku ran over to her bed and jumped onto it, twisting onto her back and putting her heads behind her head. "But you love us," she replied, sticking her tongue out at Len.

"I'm stuck with you," Len said indignantly.

"That's not the Len I remember, the one who decided to sleep in the same bed as me because he was lonely."

"That sounds a little bit awkward," Rin interjected.

"You made it awkward..." Miku said, closing her eyes. "I'm going to sleep now."

"You slept for like 6 hours on the plane..." Len reminded her.

Miku opened her eyes. "Too bad. I'm bored, so I'm going to lie here until I fall asleep."

Len shrugged, then turned to Rin. "I guess we're going to spend the next three days lying around and doing nothing.

"Guess so."

. . .

As it turned out, the next three days were spent learning the moves to each song. On the day of the concert, Miku was sitting on the floor of her room, hugging her knees up to her chest.

"It's today..." she moaned. "I'm going to faint now..."

Rin stood over Miku with her hands on her hips. "Get up, you're going to do just fine. Meiko's waiting for us, and I'm sure Luka is too," she said firmly.

Miku reluctantly stood up. "I am going to fail miserably," she said blandly. She allowed Rin to lead her out the door along with Len and the three of them made the short walk to the concert building.

Meiko and Luka were talking at the entrance to the building. Meiko looked over at Miku, who looked quite enthusiastic, if enthusiastic meant dragging her feet and moving as slowly as possible with a pained expression on her face.

"Good to see you finally made it," Meiko said, a small hint of sarcasm in her voice. She smiled. "The band has been practicing without you, because you're a robot and therefore can't mess up, so you only have about an hour until the concert. Feel free to practice a little bit."

Miku said nothing as she trailed behind Rin and Len inside and onto the stage. She stepped to the front of the stage and stared at the emptiness before her that would soon be filled with people.

"Are you nervous?" Rin asked, sliding up next to Miku silently. She looked up at Miku with a small smile.

Miku blinked. "I'm fairly certain you already know the answer to that question."

"If it makes you feel any better, Len said he would be willing to sing your favorite song with you, since he also has a version of it. You seem to be more comfortable with duets, anyway. But don't tell Len I told you, because he didn't want you to know unless it was necessary," Rin said, and giggled. "You're making both of us nervous for you, so stop it," she added childishly.

Miku smiled in spite of herself. "It's OK. I can sing it by myself. I know I can't mess up on my own song, but that kind of takes the fun out of it. I'm just hoping everybody else likes it."

"I'm sure they will!" Rin smiled so much she was squinting. "And you'll get to do a lot more concerts in the future, with more songs, and maybe more Vocaloids!" she added happily.

Miku sighed and walked off the stage, sitting down in a chair to stare off into space. Rin wandered off, and Miku lost track of time until Meiko came and told her it was almost time to begin.

"The first song will be your duet with Luka, then that weird song about vegetable juice. After that, Rin will do her solo song, and Len will do his. You'll sing your favorite song, Rin and Len will do their duet, and finally, you'll sing the song you specifically requested for the end," Meiko explained.

Miku nodded. Luka walked over. "They're ready for us now," she said, and Miku got up, following Luka onto a dark stage. The crowd was already cheering, and Miku could see small glows in the audience.

After what seemed like forever, the first notes of the piano played, and the crowd erupted in cheers. A light was turned towards Miku, and she began to dance the way she had been shown. A light illuminated Luka, and she too danced.

Miku finally recognized the part where she would start to sing, and she let herself become submerged in the music. She ignored the crowd, and focused on herself and Luka. The next three minutes of the song felt amazing to Miku, and she couldn't help but feel like the crowd was loving it too.

The song finished up, and the crowd cheered again. The lights faded away, and Miku moved quickly to go change into her next outfit that Rin and Len had called "a fabric nightmare." She laughed to herself as she remembered their faces when they had seen the outfit. She decided the concert wasn't so bad after all.

She made her way quickly back to the stage. This time she seemed to materialize from a multicolored flame. She immediately started singing, and the crowd cheered again. She found herself thoroughly enjoying the choreography that Meiko had put together for the dance, and all too soon, yet another song was over.

She retreated back stage again, giving Rin a thumbs up on her way. Rin silently pointed to her own outfit and stuck her tongue out at Miku, obviously not liking it. Miku laughed to herself. After changing once again, she joined Meiko to sit in a little area offstage to watch Rin.

Miku found herself watching the crowd more than she watched Rin. There were so many people that were so absorbed in the performance. Miku had never considered how many people really knew about Vocaloids and Utauloids, and how many loved them so much.

She shifted her gaze back to the stage, where Len had taken Rin's place and began his song. Miku was really looking forward to this song, because Rin had told her about a duet in the end that was really sad. Miku paid attention to the lyrics, like Rin had instructed.

Even though Rin seemed so touched by the song, Miku found Len's dance, along with his outfit, highly amusing. When Rin appeared for the duet, Miku forced herself to keep a straight face, and she watched the rest of the song politely.

Rin came down off the stage after her duet was over, eyes glistening with tears. Miku rolled her eyes. "I'd never think you'd be the one to cry over a song," she whispered to Rin.

Rin said nothing as Len finished his song. Miku got up, and Rin stood too.

"Good luck," Rin said, and Miku smiled in return before walking up onto the dark stage.

She stood on the platform that lowered her down into the stage, so that when the light turned on her she would make a dramatic appearance.

As the first few notes of the song started, there were a few tentative cheers from the audience. Then Miku got ready to sing her favorite song.

"Sekai de..."

Immediately the crowd cheered once again, recognizing the song. The glowing sticks in the crowd were being waved in near unison to the beat, and Miku felt excitement rising up in her as she performed her song, not wanting it to end.

Miku realized with a short thrill that the entire crowd was singing along at certain parts. She felt happier than she ever had before, and as she struck her final pose, she felt the regret of the song ending wash over her.

As she passed Rin and Len on her way offstage, she stopped them for a moment. Without a word, she hugged both of them and smiled, knowing they really hadn't liked the song they were about to sing.

"Good luck," Miku whispered, as they stepped onto stage, giving Miku small smiles.

Miku beamed as the two look-alikes started their song, not seeming to have a care in the world about what the song said. She couldn't help but admire their courage; after all, she had picked out songs she liked, and they had gotten stuck with one they didn't like.

Rin and Len did an outstanding job of their dance, and Miku had to admit they looked really cute, even though she was sure Len wouldn't like that. All too soon, Rin and Len's final song ended.

Miku slowly made her way onto the stage. The small piano part that introduced the song made Miku almost want to cry, seeing how she was already sad about the concert ending so soon.

Miku began her song, trying to make the most of every word, until she got to the few English words in the song, which she somewhat understood.

"Last night, good night..."


I know, I know, you're probably thinking, 'WHAT KIND OF PATHETIC ENDING WAS THAT?'

Maybe not word for word, but you know.

I lied. This wasn't the last chapter. Well, sort of. There's one more little epilogue thingy, and it'll be short, but this isn't the end just yet. I'll get the epilogue out before Thursday, though, so you won't be waiting long.
