The vocaloid family. Alex is considered the 'Owner' and 'Master' of the lot. Many of them choose to treat him like family more than business. One vocaloid in particular has fallen in love with Alex more than the rest. Miku Hatsune. The time they spent together has been a relati!"onship in itself. Miku on the other hand wished she could be even closer to Alex. She wanted to be human for him.
But enough about that emotional crap... It's the dawn of a new day!
"Morning Everyone!" Miku exclaimed with her smile so grand and perky attitude. The others were gathered in the dining area of the kitchen to enjoy their breakfast. Rizumu heard Miku's voice and ran up to her for a pet.
"Morning Rizumu!" Miku giggled a bit. Her mood was far from normal for the others.
"So Miku, why are you so happy?" Rin asked.
"We are going to finally go to the beach!" She squealed with joy. The others felt unsure about this. Luka asked with a troubled look.
"Is Alex okay with it?" then he stepped into view behind Miku.
"I just thought after all the work we went through, that maybe we could enjoy a real trip this time." He patted Miku's head who simply giggled back.
"A beach party?! Wahoo!" Len shouted as he rocked back in the chair.
"We get to go to the beach? Well as long as we keep Kaito away from the Ice Cream." Meiko asked as she pointed to Kaito.
"Hey! I can't help it sometimes..."
They seemed excited enough to go. Alex looked over to Ruko who somehow looked away.
"Do you want to come to the beach as well, Ruko?" Miku invited her openly. Ruko on the other hand shook her head.
"No. I will just hold the fort here till you get back." Ruko replied. Miku wanted Ruko to go badly, but Alex convinced her to not push it again.
The group packed a couple of items as Alex went to get the bus. It was just like any tour bus with a coat of black paint and showing the logo for the Vocaloids on the sides. The interior was much like a coach bus and each seat was soft to sit in with their own hand rests. Everyone was also bringing their beachwear and a few toys for fun. As Alex, Gakupo and Kaito lifted the items in the trunk and side compartments... the others were talking and envisioning what will happen.
"Say, what do you do at a beach?" Miku asked the group. She only knew about how people dressed for the beach and that was it...so did the rest.
"I think people play baseball?" Len tried to ask.
"Didn't we see enough Anime beach specials to get an idea?" Gumi talked it over with Neru who was busy on a lap top of all things.
"I-i think I know what you do at the beach." Haku stood up, somewhat in stage fright.
"The beach is just a place to relax or swim in the ocean. Kind of like a pool but more public and with sand." The gang got the mental image of strange men just glaring at them all day.
"Suddenly, I do not want to go to the beach..." Luka shivered in her spot. Then Gakupo and Kaito came in the bus and sat down as Alex took the wheel.
"Okay guys, let's head off!"
The trip to the beach would take some time, so the gang decided to play a small singing game. Meiko explained.
"Alright everyone! We take turns singing a song. Your turn must have a minimum of three words and maximum of five and each word is a point. It does not have to rhyme but if you make a rhyme it's double the score. The winner is the one with the most points. I will start it."
After clearing her throat, Meiko began with the song.
"The beach is over there..." She looked around and waited.
"With the sand so hot." Gumi sung after.
"We will drink soda pop!" Rin caught on and gained double the points with that rhyme.
"And play some Rock!" Len took the points back and doubled it as well.
"My ears are bleeding..." Neru stated, but the rest thought she was in on it too.
"But we are cheering!" Miku snag a double point for herself.
"To gaze at the sea..." Luka sung.
"And to be with me." Gakupo smirked at his double points.
"Let's all be Merry..." Kaito sung with his new box.
"And have some fun!" Mikuo cried out back.
"With Alex I will run." Miku snagged a double point but received a light whack on the head from Mikuo's Leek.
The song continued on till they arrived. Len won in the end.
The doors opened as the bus was pulled over to the side. The first one out was Miku who gleefully cried out.
"Miku Miku Summer!" as the rest piled out. The patrons of the beach all gazed at the vocaloids who came out of the bus, grabbing cameras and such to get this opportunity to meet their favorite singers in beachwear. The group stood in a row as Kaito and Alex took the heavy cooler out with one on each end.
"A-are you sure you packed enough?" Kaito asked.
"I did...but why is it so heavy?" Alex replied as he opened the lid to reveal-
"Rizumu! Bad Dog!" Miku scolded the dog that hid inside the empty cooler that was suppose to contain their drinks and light snacks. He hopped out and licked Miku's hand.
"I think the idea of you leaving the house made him sad." Mikuo explained as he patted Rizumu and received a lick in exchange. Alex sighed while he thought for the moment.
"Oh well...I could always pay for a big lunch. I noticed there was an opened air beach restaurant down there. So let's all find a spot." The group complied, taking the chairs, towels, umbrellas and other items down to the sand. Already the eyes of the people there were instantly upon them. The light murmurs of the onlookers were intresting.
"Is that really Luka?"
"Man, that Mikuo looks so like Miku, but hot."
"Do you think Len and Rin would let me take a picture with them?"
They would eventually find a nice spot halfway to the water and set up their towels...until Neru closed her laptop.
"Alex. I will be at that restaurant if you need my assistance. I doubt I will fair well out here." Neru explained as she walked off. Haku, not knowing what to do at the moment, followed Neru as she did not like the eyes on her. Especially when she was wearing a bathing suit under her one piece.
"Can we go have fun now, Alex?" Miku asked.
"Huh? Oh yeah, go ahead." He replied. Miku grinned and looked to the group of women- And one man mind you- with determination.
"Okay everyone! Let's show them!" At the command she gave they removed the one piece to show their beachwear. Miku was sporting a two piece polka-dot bikini with a skirt for added style. Rin wore a more stripped patterned with bright colors. Luka went for a Caribbean looking green bikini while Meiko had a plain white with blue string styled. Gumi wore a lime green two piece with orange string, her bottom half were more like trunks. Teto had on a crimson red wrap around bikini, plain but still nice. And Ritsu had on a more sports oriented bikini to cover a bit more skin and to give the illusion of being a female.
Gakupo, Mikuo, Kaito, Len and Alex were gaping wide at them as if an aura of pure pleasure hit them. Toeto applaud at the group's little performance.
"You all look so fantastic! Especially you, Miku!" Mikuo cried out as he tried to hug Miku, only to get kicked in the face.
"You can look, but no touching." Miku grinned devilishly as the group headed down to the ocean. Mikuo was tended to by Kaito who could sympathize with him while Gakupo talked with Alex for the time.
"How has it been so far since you tied the knot with Miku? Does it feel weird to have an android wife?" Gakupo asked.
"To be fair, It's a choice I never did regret. Miku really is cute when you get to know her, and even now I want to keep her close." Alex explained before hearing Miku call for the dog to come with the small group. They watched the vocaloids play a bit of volleyball between one another.
"Luka told me that Miku feels bad that she is not human and is unable to produce a child." this made Alex spit the water he was drinking over Mikuo.
"Hey!" Mikuo shouted.
"Miku...wants a child?" Alex took it the wrong way so Gakupo explained.
"No no. Miku just feels bad in the case you wanted one." Gakupo handed a towel for Mikuo who pouted about the water.
"I see...Maybe I can ask her some other time about a child and maybe her father could whip one up. Kind of like Toeto." Alex's tone was quiet as he mentioned more about the family.
As the guys hung out, The girls started to play more in groups. Miku, Gumi, Luka and Rin walked along the beach as they left Teto, Ritsu and Meiko on the beach. On their walk, Miku heard a large commotion over yonder and to her surprise it was a local radio station having a contest.
"Let's go guys!" Miku ran off as Rin followed and tried to stop her from making things worse. As Miku and Rin arrived at the gathering of people they were spotted immediately by the hosts and questioned why they were here.
"Well this is out of the blue. Hatsune Miku and Kagamine Rin at the same beach while sporting nearly identical swimwear!" the announcer smiled as the attention was on them now. Miku and Rin waved as Rin looked over at Miku.
"What did you drag me into?" but she had no time to get an answer as Miku pulled Rin with her on the stage as she grabbed the microphone.
"Hello everyone! Miku here with Rin at my side! How would you like to hear a song from us?" Miku called out. Not only crashing the party but blowing their relaxing time. Alex soon got word from Gumi and Luka as the gang all headed over to the radio station to see Miku and Rin starting something.
"Say Rin? Shall we sing them a new song?" Miku asked Rin.
"Eh?! I-is that alright?" She questioned her situation as she didn't like to sing too often in public.
"Oh don't be like that Rin! We are all enjoying ourselves so let's at least sing them a song we worked on with a routine!" And instantly, Rin knew what Miku was talking about.
"Oh that! Okay!" Alex and the gang had no choice but to watch the two on stage perform. Miku pulled out a weird CD that seemed to play the instruments and the beat for them. As the music started up, it was very summer in tone. Rin soon started singing.
'Me and you, driving down to the beach Midsummer'
'the radio is set to the oldies retro channel'
'Violating the speed, we kick about, in rock 'n roll style'
The two seem to dance and choreograph well with the fast melody and beats as Miku followed up.
'Full of nothing but delusions, I step on the pedal and speed up'
'Unfortunately, last year we just ended up being unsold goods'
'even we just want to be loved, y'know!' the two seemed to be very well synched as they sung the song together and danced as well with it.
The male vocaloids seemed to watch with joy but Gumi felt worried.
"Do something Alex!" She cried out. At first, Alex wanted to go up and give Miku a lesson...but she was having far too much fun and Rin as well.
"I think it's okay. Sometimes you want to act silly. Plus, it's kind of cute to see Miku dance like that." he admire the two giving a free show. Once in a while would not hurt. So they hung back to watch the little show they put on for the beach goers for not only free but out of sheer entertainment.
'But when I think about it, if we search for lovers together, one of us will be left behind when the other finds someone...'
'I'm sorry for being your rival!'
'even I feel the same, so-'
'from now on, how about we just become a couple?'
That last line they said sent the audience and the group in sheer laughter. Even when the song ended, Miku and Rin gave one final line of dialogue.
'There's no way that's happening...right?'
'...Yeah.'
The crowd applaud and cheered on. The host even made it up to the stage and began to speak again.
"My word, I never would of thought Miku and Rin would sing live for us! Give a large round of applause for the two!" The crowd did just that as Miku and Rin walked off the stage and over to Alex.
"Miku miku! You heard that?" Miku asked but received a bonk on the head from Alex.
"Next time, tell me when you are going to pull a stunt like that." Alex said, looking back down at Miku with a smile.
"But I will let it slide this time. That was a good performance." He patted their heads as Miku tackled Alex.
"Miku! Not in public!"
Once that event was done with, the gang decided to catch up with Haku and Neru who were both at the shady area and on the computer. Miku called them out.
"Neru! Haku! You ready to eat?!" The two turned to the group. Haku got up and bowed as Neru looked back on the computer.
"I guess it is that time to eat."
Fifteen seats were filled as they all ordered what they wanted. Miku and Mikuo asked for a special fried rice with Leek Onions. the twins, Haku, Toeto, Teto, Gumi and Ritsu all ordered shrimp fried rice. Kaito and Meiko decided to share a large order of a simple vegetable curry dish as did Gakupo and Luka. Neru did not feel like eating. Alex ordered for his first time Somen with Soy Sauce to dip in. As they all ate their meal, Miku looked over to her left to see Alex eating his food. She noticed Kaito and Meiko sharing a dish like a couple. So Miku poked Alex's shoulder.
"Huh?" He wondered. Miku held up a spoonful of rice with some leek onion on it up to him, instructing Alex to open his mouth.
"M-miku, you know that-" before he finished, Miku placed the spook in his mouth as he ate the leek fried rice. It was very nasty to him still...but he kept the emotion down, swallowing what he had to see Miku's smile. Then when she turned away, he chugged his water till the taste was gone.
"Hey Rin, do you think they will replay our performance on TV tomorrow on the news?" Miku asked from across the table.
"Huh? Well that would be awesome." As the large family spoke, Alex focused on his food for the time. He dropped his chopsticks on the ground as a girl bumped her elbow on his back by accident.
"Oh, Excuse me!" The woman said. Alex sighed and turned to see her.
"It's no problem. You are forgiven." His Japanese getting better but still had an English tone to it. Seeing this, Miku wondered what it would be like if Alex did fall for another girl...
"Oh you are Mister Junio! No wonder this place is packed." From the conversation they started, she was a fan of the vocaloids. Miku watched and noticed her trotting over to Luka for an autograph. She sighed with relief until Mikuo played with her emotions.
"Were you just jealous for a second?" He quietly spoke. Miku perked up and hit Mikuo with her leek onion.
"Shut up! I was not Jealous at all!" She shouted.
"Jealous of what?" Alex asked Miku who did shot.
"Umm...Jealous of...how well Luka can sing. Hehe." She tried to cover her tracks as Alex seemed to fall for it. Miku pulled Mikuo up by his hair and threatened him.
"Don't you dare make me do that!" but Mikuo chuckled.
"Hey at least we know he is not into other women."
The day continued on as the gang relaxed and enjoyed their time on the beach. When the sun was setting, everyone was packing up to head home as Miku looked out to the shore from the stone wall. Alex noticed her expression being slightly sad and ran over to her.
"Miku, are you alright?" Alex asked. Miku finally shook her head and looked to Alex.
"Alex, I feel like other women will take you away from me." she admitted to the jealousy from earlier but Alex assured her with a tight embrace.
"Miku. You should be at ease. I am not going to leave you at all." Alex moved closer, kissing Miku's lips lightly to force her to blush redder than an apple.
"Hmm...A kiss at sunset near the beach where we had fun. Isn't that what happens in Japanese Animations?" Alex commented as if his life was one. Then they heard Ritsu calling for them from the buss door.
"YO! You guys coming or do you want us to leave you two to do it on the beach!" Making such a comment, Miku smacked Alex on the head with her leek as she trotted over...however this hit was not hard at all.
"Come on Alex!" She cried out as Alex drove the group back home.
"Welcome home everyone. While you were away, I took the time to fix all of your bedrooms and clean various areas that needed to be tended too. Though I lost Rizumu..." Ruko felt a bit sadden by the loss until Rizumu hopped from the group and up to Ruko.
"Oh there you are. I was wondering where you ran off to."
It was a very fun vacation for the gang...though one thing still was on Miku's Mind. In the middle of the night, Miku quietly sneaked from her room and over to Alex's bedroom. Creaking the door open, she could see he had a bed that could fit two people easily. He was sleeping soundly until Miku poked his side.
"Huh? Miku...what time is it?" Alex was groggy and barely moved. Miku quietly held her pillow close to her chest.
"Alex. I want to sleep with you." she innocently begged him. Alex blinked and then smiled.
"Okay, okay. Come on." Alex insisted. Miku inched her way into his bed, snuggling as close to Alex as she could.
"Miku...it's just like before." Miku commented on the very first night they shared a bed back in America.
"Yeah. Only this time it feels better." Alex pulled Miku close to his chest as he whispered to her.
"I love you."
