"And that was when we had to wake up Kaito from his ice cream coma by stuffing bananas in his mouth and making him swallow them," Rin told her story to Luka who laughed at what happened to Kaito.

"I could've managed without Miku sticking a Leek (A/N: Spring Union) down my throat," Kaito said rubbing his throat from the horrid day.

"I thought it would help Rin from stuffing a whole bunch of bananas down your mouth," Miku objected.

"Well, it didn't!"

"And those were my bananas you used for Kaito, Rin!" Len said eating take out Neru bought for everyone.

"I told you it was an emergency, Len. Will you let it go?"

"... Maybe. When you buy me some more bananas."

All Luka did was laugh at the argument taking place with the twins and popular teen diva. Meiko was finally out of her room drinking water from her hangover, along with introducing herself properly to Luka and apologizing for yelling at her earlier.

"You guys are like a family," Luka said.

"A big, loud, dysfunctional family," Neru said texting on her phone again before putting it up and eating more of her Chinese food.

"But none of us can't have it any other way," Meiko said drinking a can of soda.

"True. I guess," Rin and Len both said in unison.

"You get used to Len and Rin talking like that," Miku whispered to Luka, "It still bothers us when they talk together like that. It's like one of the twins know what the other's thinking."

"So, I see," Luka said as everyone continued to eat their food Neru bought. The other Vocaloids were talking amongst themselves except for Haku who was quietly listening to her friends conversations on account of her not in the mood of talking. Neru could tell that Haku didn't feel like talking as the Sake-drinking Vocaloid was eating her food, she could sense that someone was staring at her.

Knowing that it wasn't Neru staring at her, Haku looked up from dazing at her shrimp lo mein, to see Luka lovingly staring at her. Luka had her elbow on the table whose hand was leaning against the right side of her cheek. She had the same warm smile on her face like when the two were at the door, but Haku could tell that the smile is also a mixture of a warm gentle one and a.. seductive one.

Haku blushed at that and timidly looked away from Luka's gaze, back to her food.


"And this is my room where I watch TV, sleep, and well, pass out when I drink on weekends," Haku said introducing Luka to her room, bed, computer, and TV who asked the silver-haired woman if she could see her room since her room was the only one the pinkette hasn't seen.

Luka then heard a meow from behind her as she turned around and saw a small white cat jump on Haku's window shaking off some snow that was on her white fur (A/N: I don't know if the cat's a boy or a girl. They never really say.)

"Well, hello, there. Who might you be?" Luka said picking up the cold-furred feline who had a black and dark purple bow on around her neck.

"Oh, and that's my cat, Yowaneko. She followed me here after I gave her some food when she was a stray," Haku said sitting on the bed with Luka, "She wanders from place to place if I'm not here and always comes back here after her little journey from being in town all day."

"Aww! She's so cute!" Luka said gently hugging Yowaneko who happily purred.

"Wow. This is the first time Yowaneko has ever stayed still while being held by anyone besides me. I guess she senses something that she likes about you," Haku said.

"So it seems." Luka puts the cat in her lap and begins to pet her as the pink-haired woman said, "Hey, Haku."

"Huh?"

"You don't talk that much, do you?"

Haku began to fiddle with her fingers for some reason. "...You could say that."

"Why? I'm not gonna bite you or anything," Luka joked with a smile on her face.

"I don't know. I've always been like that around Miku and the others." Haku shrugged

"What about Neru and Meiko? Are you shy around them?" Luka wondered as Yowaneko jumped from the blued-eyed woman's lap, to her cozy little bed in the corner before falling asleep.

"Neru, no. Meiko, yes."

"Why, though?"

"Because when Meiko's drunk, I don't know if she's nice or about to attack me because of the wine and beer she drinks," Haku told her.

"That would explain her strong scent of beer and whisky," Luka said.

"Yeah, since you were able to smell the sake on me as well."

"True, but your scent of alcohol is sweeter than Meiko's. Like the scent of flowers and honey."

"Uh.. Thanks," Haku said blushing from the compliment. "So.. uh, how are you liking everything here? In Japan, I mean?"

"It's good. It's a lot bigger and noisier than America, though. And a whole lot of people walking from one place to the next depending on where I was," Luka explained.

"Yeah. That's Japan for ya," Haku said scratching the back of her right ear.

"Hey. Haku."

The silver-haired yawned before saying, "Yeah?"

"Your friend Neru told me that people use to call you 'boring' because of how you sing. Why, if you don't mind me asking?" Luka wondered as Haku was quiet for a while before answering.

"... I don't sing like the others. I can't sing very high like Miku, Meiko, Rin or you. I can only sing in medium tone which is boring and sounds horrible to people who hear me sing," Haku explained as tears ran down her face, "I'm a – I'm a failed copy of Miku because of my singing voice being so terrible."

"Oh, no! Please, don't cry! I don't like it when people cry like that," Luka said in a panicky tone sitting on her knees a bit closer to the weeping Haku.

"Oh, it's okay. I'm like this whenever I drink Sake, along with when I'm angry sometimes," Haku sniffled.

"Even so, I don't like to see people I care about crying like this," Luka said wiping Haku's tears away from her flustered cheeks.

"You-You care about me?"

"Well, yeah. You're a nice person, so why not?"

Haku was surprised to hear that. No one has ever said that to her before. Well, a few times with Neru, but she doesn't like to show that much emotion around a lot of people. However, for some reason, hearing it from Luka made her feel.. happy. Something she hasn't felt in a while that didn't have her drunk. She wanted that moment to last for a while longer until she suddenly felt her head pounding from drinking a couple of shots of sake as the red-eyed woman held it in pain.

"Are you okay?" Luka asked in concern.

"My head hurts a bit, but I'm fine."

"Maybe you should go to bed if you're like that," Luka told her.

"Yeah, I should," Haku yawns again who heard Luka ask the silver-haired woman a question.

"Huh? What is it?" Haku wondered getting herself ready for bed.

"Would it be okay if I sleep here with you tonight?"

Haku's face turned red at that who timidly fidgeted with her fingers. It would be nice to fall asleep and wake up with someone there other than waking up alone again like she does everyday.

"... Uh, sure. But why?"

"When I was awoken, a few people would sleep around me just in case anything were to happen to me when I slept," Luka said in a pretty average tone.

"Oh. Okay," Haku said, 'I guess she doesn't sleep very well when she's by herself.'


Both Haku and Luka were laying in Haku's bed. They were both still awake as Haku was laying on her back looking at the ceiling while Luka was laying on her side awake as well. She was supporting her head up with her right hand and staring happily at Haku who was trying not to notice.

Luka could tell that Haku was shy about the newest Vocaloid sleeping in the same bed with her.

I mean, who wouldn't?

"You sure are quiet compared to your friends," Luka said.

"S-Sorry about that."

"It's fine. I don't mind if you're quiet like that. It means you're a good listener when it comes to people's problems."

"Uh, y-yeah," Haku blushed at the comment Luka gave her as the two didn't say anything for a while in Haku's bed.

Luka was now laying on her back like Haku, looking at the ceiling as Haku still felt awkward from the silence and Luka sleeping with her tonight. However, Haku was happy about falling asleep with someone as she felt her eyelids began to get heavy about to let sleep take over her mind until she heard Luka say...

"Hey, Haku."

"Mm?" Haku turned her head to Luka's.

"I've heard everyone here sing except you. Tomorrow, I want to go to a karaoke place where I can hear you sing."

"T-Tomorrow? Sing? Karaoke?... Me?" Haku said wide-eyed at that.

"Yeah. Is that alright?"

"W-Well, it's just that... I don't like to sing.... in front of people.. because of how I sing."

"Oh, come on. I wanna get to know you a bit better, along with Miku and the others. Please?" Luka pouted giving Haku a pleading look on her face making Haku's heart pound from it.

The crimson-eyed woman avoided the cute puppy-dog look before implying, "S-Sure. I-I don't mind."

Luka smiled. "Alright! I can't wait to hear how you sing!" She cheered before yawning and laying her head on her pillow as she immediately fell asleep.

"Yeah... Can't wait." Haku gulped before falling asleep and dreading the next day to come.
