Chapter 3 What they call home

"That's what we call each other. We all sing together and also do solos." Kaito said, standing next to Aoki.
"like... a band?" Aoki responded. "Yea I guess.." Rin said looking at Kaito. "Well Im going to go buy some Ice cream." Kaito said waving goodbye. "I'll go with you!" Rin ran to his side leaving Aoki alone.
Kaito opened the door and left with Rin. Aoki sat on the stairs and looked around her. "Singing..? " She whispered to herself and thought of a melody. She seemed to remember a voice singing to her but the memory seemed like a simple dream. Very softly she sang that song and closed her eyes.
**Daydream Flight -Aoki Lapis**

Len was playing with his phone and heard a sweet voice singing. 'Rin? Miku?.. It can't be.. Their voice is different.' He slowly walked by the stairs and heard that the voice came from the stairs. He walked very quietly and saw that Aoki was singing with her eyes closed. He sat next to her on the stairs and listened. Her voice was like a voice of an angel, and Len loved to hear her.

Aoki opened her eyes and saw Len was to her side. "you... heard me?" She said a bit nervous. "Yea. you sing beautiful." He responded. "Thanks.." she said looking down. "When the group asks who you are say your a new vocaloid." Len said getting up. She nodded.

He patted her on the head and she giggled. "You'll be staying here from now on. I'll show you the room." Len said, taking Aoki by the arm and going upstairs.

"Thank you." Aoki said in the room."I got to go. If you need anything I'll be next door." Len said walking to his room. Lapis walked to her window and listened to the birds singing. She opened it and felt a breeze blow her hair. She listened closely and heard that thee birds were saying words. "I guess they are better than me in singing.." She whispered. A bird flew to her window with a note on it's beak. Aoki looked at it wanting tto say something but the bird let go the note and left.

Lapis opened the note and sat on the floor reading it in her mind. 'A love note' was the title of the note. Lapis looked at it carefully and didn't understand where it came from. She put it in her pocket and laced in bed. "Why doesn't anything make sence?" She talked to herself again. "Singing.. at least this entertains me" She looked around the room and found a pencil and paper. She noticed that there was a piano and began to play notes. "I guess it's my new job." she said and began to write a song.

"A new vocaloid?" Miku asked Len downstairs. "Yea. She's a pretty good singer" He said to Miku. "Yea right! Last time you said your friend was a new Vocaloid and she sang terrible!" Luka said walking in to the living room. "Shut up, that was my ex girlfriend.. and it's in the past." Len said embarrased. "Len is such a player. " Rin said laughing. "I am not!" Len pushed Rin annoyed. "Let's go see if she's another one of them!" Miku told Rin. "I swear she's not my girlfriend geez!" Len stood up and left outside.

It was already late and a bit dark outside. He sat under a tree and took out a notepad. He sighed then wrote a song and ripped it out of the notepad, crumbling the page and throwing it on the floor. "I can't even make a song.. " He said and layed down on the floor.
