I DO NOT own Vocaloid (but I do own the picture this time. (I know, shocking))
A/N- I'm switching P.O.V.'s a lot in this story, but it's easy to tell who's it is.
Chapter 6: Spring Theatre
After School, Outside Central Japan Elite School (Rin's P.O.V.)
School finally let out after another long day. We had planned on going over to Luka and Miku's house to practice and write, since they kind of grew tired of coming over to our house. I walked outside, Len by my side, before we saw a crowd of people crowding around the cafeteria. In the midst, I saw pink, blue, and teal, before they all looked up and walked over to us. "What's with the crowd?" I asked as we walked towards the front door, where there was another sign.
"The spring play. Everyone gets excited this time of year about it." Luka smiled as we all looked at a sign. It was a play called 'Digital Fantasy'
"'Digital Fantasy'? What's that about?" Len asked, reading my thoughts as we all read through the information on the poster.
"It's set sort of within the Medieval Times, with a prince, princess, king, knight, etc. Classic princess gets kidnapped, blah, blah, blah." Kaito started as we all looked at him and laughed. "Okay...but it's different. It's set in a video game setting as well."
"So...it's like a Medieval video game?" Len asked as he looked at me and I smiled.
"Let's do it!" I cried as we looked at the list of characters we could audition for. I looked through all the choices, but one in particular caught my eye. It was one of the main characters, King. "I think I want to do King." I smiled as Len nodded.
"Then I'll do Knight. So the new we could write a song together.
"Wait. Write a song?"
"Yeah. If you chose to audition for the two roles you just did, then you have to write a song that goes along with the script." Miku started as all eyes went to me and my brother. We knew what to do. We just needed to make sure not to make it obvious. The song we were going to do was Death Should Not Have Taken Thee!, since we thought it was fitting for this since it had somewhat of a video game context. "We should start practicing." Kaito started, breaking me out of my thoughts. "Luka and I have to memorize monologues, and you guys still need to come up with a song."
"Yeah. So how do we get the script?" Luka asked as I read the paper again.
"We have to print it. We can do that at your place." I replied as we all walked out the door and hopped in Kaito's car, Kaito in the front, and my brother and I in the back.
5:12 PM, Kaito's House (Len's P.O.V.)
We had finally gotten to Kaito's house and had printed his monologue. Apparently, Kaito's monologue had both some of my lines and Rin's so we just helped him practice. "Alright, so we're starting on the events after the princess has been kidnapped." Kaito started as we all crowded around the script. "Rin, your first."
"Alright"
King: You think you have what it takes to rescue the princess?
Prince: Yes sire. Please give me a chance and I will get the princess back. I'm begging you! I'll try my best.
King: Very well. (Turns to Solider) Solider, test this princeling. If he can't beat you, he's not ready.
Solider: Yes Highness
"So is my name just Solider?" I asked as I looked through the script.
"No, I think we use our real names, but we don't know who they are let." Kaito replied as we looked back at the script.
Solider: I won't go lightly. Highness needs someone worthy to go rescue the princess. (Draws sword)
Prince: Very well, but I Prince (enters name here) will not rest until I see the princess safe back in the castle with the king (Draws sword)
Solider: Very well. Fight!
(The solider and prince fight until the prince knocks the solider on the ground and place a sword at his throat.)
Prince: I believe we're done here
King: Very well. You have access to go. Solider, prepare the best three horses in the castle.
Solider: Yes High...Wait, three?
King: We're to accompany the prince while he travels.
Prince and Solider: Highness!? You're coming with us?
King: I'm bored, so...why not. Now go!
Solider: Yes Highness.
"That was great!" my sister cried as Kaito put away the paper and turned to us.
"That was great you guys!" Kaito started as we waved goodbye.
"Thanks! Good luck with the auditions tomorrow!" Rin cried out as Kaito shut the door behind us, and we walked home.
After School, Central Japan Elite School (Kaito's P.O.V.)
Today was the audition day, and I was really nervous, even though my group of three was me and the twins. I hadn't seen them all day, and we were going in three minutes. I sighed to myself as I paced outside the door until I heard a shrill shout. "Kaito! Kaito!" I turned to see the twins rushing towards me, Rin's USB cord in her hand.
"Sorry we're late. We got here as soon as we could." Len sighed as I nodded and walked in the door.
"Kaito Shion, Rin Kagamine, and Len Kagamine?" the theatre director asked as we all nodded. "Okay. Solider and King first please." she smiled before her eyes widen when Rin stood. "Um, do you have your music?" she asked as Rin handed her the USB cord and she plugged it into the computer. "Death Should Not Have Taken Thee!? Isn't that that new Vocaloid song?" she asked as Rin stiffened before Len answered.
"Yes."
"This isn't in English though, and it's not original." she groaned as she started to unplug it.
"Wait!" Rin cried as the director stopped. "The lyrics are ours. We rewrote them in English, so it's...half ours." she smiled sweetly as the director groaned and started the music, and Rin and Len started.
Oh. How could they all die? Really a shame.
3, 2, 1 Oh!
King!
What now?
Help!
Oh what do you want?
They!
Right..
They took the princess and won't give her back!
Hero should...
Not exist.
Hmm, got it!
Eh?
No need to fear, you be the hero!
Set up let down!
Jimmying the lock and a brand new stock
of any old item to get you going!
Party on up and to get you pumped and fight
Oh tell me you're just kidding, right?
Fine so ever if you're in trouble talk to the peasants, okay?
And with a smash go beat that boss down!
Wait what now?
Boast it and toast it and raise your all your glasses
Cuz they all know that I rule all the masses
And I'll just be here doing everything for their sake
Thinking again, the bigger they are
The harder they're overthrown
One up and one up and throw up your hands now!
Partying hard just to watch them all bow down
Hold up a second, didn't hear this at enrollment
My paid vacations are-? DELETED DELETED
So now we're waiting for the bating of the breathing and the beating of the beastly ol' ultimate boss
Say that we're fighting for a cause because I demand
Say that we're fighting to keep peace over the land
Looking on, fighting from furthest point in the rear
Calling your stats out like you're blind or just can't hear
Fighting for you and maybe fighting for the "peasants" too
Take a sec to see how hard we fight so you can rule
They're falling one by one around me and I'm flashing red
I knew my levels just weren't high enough yet...
Sorry but your party was wiped out completely, now you're dead
O God in heaven, why? Amen.
Oh! How could they all die? Really a shame.
But I guess I'll give you another try
"If at first you don't succeed!"
But my king!
Don't like the name?
No!...This is insane.
Eeh?! Dead people don't have any right to complain!
All we got in our castle's stock is really fine to keep us going
Partying guys with crazy high levels
Oh woah, that's pretty awesome, right?
But then again, I stress this one single thing that's ruling as we're dueling
Nicely put - oh screw it they're a
HUGE MORON
This I get now, humans just like fighting battles
And this just a thought (OK?)
Say we need to work to better, work together?
Is this "The Game of Life" all again?!
To reach the next level, you should probably get
Experience points, with a thousand, you're set
But maybe a backbone wouldn't hurt you to find
Don't you falter this time, this is it now, ok?
Telissa, Borosso, Zanshi, Paronte
All of these magicians used to get your way
Calm and quietly I'm always smiling down at thee
But politely bragging away, I give my scepter a wave
Holit and, Holit and, Holit and, hold it!
It's always this spell and it's spelling out "STUPID"
It puts the mighty king into a mighty deep sleep
And just who do you think you are? This better not be a coup!
Hey I'm no hero, and I think I should add...wanting a hero played right, you should just play it yourself!
Say that we're fighting for a cause because I demand
Say that we're fighting to keep peace over the land
Moving on, fighting from furthest point in the front
Seeing approval ratings rocketing from one! (WAIT. WHAT THE?)
Fighting for views and always fighting for the money too
Take a sec to think about what this king really rules
They're falling one by one around me and you're red as flames
How could they all be dying? Really a shame!
Say that we're fighting for a cause because I demand
Say that we're fighting so your smile always stands
Sliding by, we're always trying harder not to die
Scraping up what info on the evil we can find
And so today, I stay here guarding like I always do
Awaiting one good hero strong enough and true
I know you're thinking that I'm hiding on the throne again
But in the end I know I'm too weak to win
When they finished, the teacher was in shock, along with myself. I knew what they were going, but I didn't know how they would sound, and it sounded great. "Very good. You two stay up there, Mr. Shion, are you auditioning for Prince?"
"Yes ma'am."
"Then go up with them and perform." she commanded as I jogged on the stage and we did exactly what we had done a few days ago. We acted like the teacher wasn't even there. We were sitting on the floor, practicing, except Len and I were doing the real sword fight instead of just pretending like we were doing it, and before I knew it, we were done. "Thank you. You may leave. Call the next group in." she said as we walked out the door and called the next group, who just so happened to be Luka's group. "Luka!" I cried as I hugged her and pecked her cheek.
"So? How was it?" she asked as she looked between the three of us.
"It was really fun, and it wasn't as nerve raking as it seemed." Rin smiled as we all waved goodbye, promising to meet up tomorrow to look at the casting call.
After School, Central Japan Elite School (Len's P.O.V.)
We all met at the front door to look at the various list listed below the posters. We quickly looked at the list before actually reading it aloud.
King- Rin Kagamine
Knight- Len Kagamine
Prince- Kaito Shion
Princess- Luka Megurine
Bandit #1- Kagomae Ontario
Bandit #2- (Random Name)
Soldiers-
~Yuki Ontario
~(Fourteen other names that I don't want to make up ;D)
"We all made it!" Rin cried as she hugged us all before Yuki and Kagomae came behind us.
"Oh look, it's the rule breakers." Yuki laughed before Luka spoke up.
"Hey guys...Have you looked at the list? You guys both made it." she smiled as they both shoved her out the way to look at the list.
"Bandit #1!?" Kagomae screamed as her sister followed.
"I'm only a solider?! I auditioned for the princess!"
"And I audition for the King and the Knight!"
"Oops. Sorry." Rin and I both laughed as they both looked at us, red-faced.
"Rule breakers don't deserve lead roles. Especially when I lose my kiss with the prince to Megurine." Yuki growled as Kaito grew pale before blushing, as Luka blushed as well.
"The prince and princess..." Kaito started.
"Kiss?" we all finished as me and Rin looked at Kaito and Luka, who both turned away from each other.
"Yes, but it doesn't matter. Kaito will be mine." Yuki smiled as she pulled up his chin with her finger.
"In your fat dreams, Yuki. Bye." Kaito waved them away as we both shoved them out the building then took the back exit.
"We all made it." Luka smiled as we met up with Miku outside.
"Yeah! I'm definitely going." Miku smiled as we walked away. When we were out of hearing distance, I spoke up.
"Are we really doing the live broadcast after the play?" I asked as I looked up at Kaito, who smiled mischievously.
"Yep. The whole world's going to know."
Yeah guys! I'm so sorry I wasn't able to update. Also...MY BIRTHDAY"S TOMMOROW! I'm so happy!
