This was something that was initially planned to be in the original one-shot, but was cut due to time constraints, as well as lack of real development. Yuki's chapter was supposed to go up today, but due to priorities, it's going to be delayed. 3:
"Miki, the pie shop ran out of apple pie," Oliver said softly, not wanting to see Miki's reaction.
"WHAT?" she screamed. Oliver veered back, putting his hands up defensively. "Yuki's going to be so disappointed! Do you know how much she likes apple pie? Do you? Huh? She loves it! What are we going to do now?" Oliver opened his mouth to speak. "Wait. There's another pie shop that just opened up, right? Right. I'll go see if they have apple pie. Oliver, you're in charge of the rest of the party until I get back!" Miki pushed the pencil and clipboard into his hands and darted away, leaving Oliver a babbling mess.
"Well, Mr. I'm-in-charge?" Kaito teased from his spot on top of the ladder. Oliver glared at him, annoyed.
"The banner isn't centered."
"We're going to replace it with the other one, aren't we?"
"Too bad. I'm in charge now. Fix it."
Miki ran to the new pie shop, which was about halfway across the city. ...Well, maybe it wasn't, but it sure felt that way when she burst through the door of the shop panting as if it were a zombie apocalypse. The little bell at the top of the door frame jingled a few times before settling again.
The pie shop was very quaint—the only word Miki could really think of to use to describe it. It wasn't very large, especially compared to the Vocaloid Mansion. There were a few chairs and tables for people who wanted to eat here, or just wait. The counter had a glass case displaying all the kinds of pie they had. Miki stopped at the mouthwatering cherry pie so pleasantly shown off. She was tempted to buy it then and there.
She shook her head. No. She came for apple pie. Miki tore her eyes away from the delicious dessert and asked the employee for an apple pie (albeit a bit reluctantly.)
The employee nodded before stopping and turning directly toward Miki. Her eyes sparkled. "A-Are you SF-A2 Miki?"
Oh. A fan. Usually Miki rather liked the attention, but now she was in a bit of a rush. "Yeah, I am." She gave a halfhearted smile.
The fan squealed. "Kyyaaaaa! I'm actually serving a Vocaloid!" The employee started to fangirl.
"I-I'm sorry, I really need to get going...!" Miki said with an impatient tone. She didn't want to sound like a jerk, but birthdays were at stake!
The employee ran over her words, slightly surprised at the sudden harshness. "O-Oh, right... Here's your apple pie...!" The employee had placed the dessert in a bright yellow box and set it on the table.
"Great, how much?"
"Oh, it's on the house!"
Miki was surprised. "What for? Oh, never mind. I have to go! Thank you!" Miki took the pie and ran off.
The employee stood stunned. "...Isn't it her birthday today...?"
Miki sat on a park bench with the box next to her. So tired... Miki shook her head. Okay, now all she had to do was get the pie back to the Vocaloid Mansion and hope Oliver got everything under control.
She grabbed the box and started to run, but, as luck would have it, she tripped. The box flew in the air like a bird. Miki's mouth dropped and she screamed as the box went 'splat!' upside-down on the road.
Miki mumbled a few choice words as she brushed herself off. It was okay. She could work with this. She only took two steps on the road before a car came speeding by. She threw herself back as the wheels of the car smashed the box and its contents.
She twitched. Miki kicked the destroyed box and stormed back to the mansion, some of the apple sticking onto her shoes.
Miki burst through the door of the Vocaloid Mansion and marched to the living room. Oliver turned toward her. "What's the matter...?"
She glared at him and he veered back like before. "What's the matter, you ask? Well, I'll tell you!" She went on and on about the pie incident and exaggerated some parts, but at this point, she was too irritated to care.
"...Now, you're going to have to make an apple pie!"
"M-Me? N-Now?"
"Go!" She pushed him in the direction of the kitchen. She turned around.
That's when Miki finally took note of her surroundings.
"Kiyoteru and Yuki! You're already here?"
...Abrupt end, but that's because the endings were basically the same as the original. Miki apologized for the pie, Yuki doesn't mind and mentions how she forgets her birthday every year, and so on. This wasn't as well thought out, so that's one reason why it was cut. Expect a Yuki chapter soon!
