Chapter 16: Are we ready?

Rin POV:

I paced back and forth in front of the school gates. Where. Was. Miku. Tomorrow were the auditions and I was staying at her house! I don't know where her house is! Don't judge me, I haven't bothered to talk to Miku because of...certain things. I'm telling you! You people are so nosy!

" Rin! Rin!"

I looked up to see Miku staring at me wierdly. What's her deal?

" My deal is that you're voicing what I'm thinking are your thoughts."

Oh, I am?

" Yes."

" Oh.." I said blushing a bit. " Oh well, I'm wierd. Let's get to your house."

" Oh! Len's gonna be okay by himself right?" Miku asked.

" He's staying at Mikuo's house," I said. " Apparently, Mikuo wanted to copy you and have a sleepover, or ' Two or three guys hanging out and aslo sleeping in the same room and going home the next day and no it's not yaoi you perv party ' as he calls it, too."

Miku sighed. " Mikuo...he's wierd."

" Very."

" You sure you wanna let Len stay at his house? Today he'll be a shota, tomorrow, he can be...mini Mikuo."

" Aw, he'll be fine," I said assuringly. " Now, where are we."

Miku looked around and turned a corner, me following quickly. She walked past a few houses and came to a normal looking house, which was obviously hers. She pulled out a silver key and unlocked the gate, motioning for me to follow. We both walked up to the front door and entered the house.

" Mom?" Miku called. " I'm back! Rin's here too."

I had almost forgotten how pretty Miku's mom was. She had long, teal hair like Miku and green eyes. She was just...pretty. She gaped at me and flew towards me, crushing me in a hug. Her vanilla scent filled my nose, almost intoxicating me.

" Rin! I haven't seen you in so long!" she exclaimed. " How are you? How's Len? Rui and Rei? Are they still as adorable as ever?"

" Hi, Mrs. Hatsune," I said trying to get out of her grasp. " I'm good, len's good, everyone's good. And yes, we are still cute and Len's still shota."

She laughed and made a suggestive motion to the kitchen.

" Are you hungry? Would you like something to eat?"

" Uh, I'm not a big fan of leeks," I said trying not to sound rude.

" Oh right! You like oranges! Sorry! I forgot," she said quickly. Why was Miku's mom so panicky?

" It's okay Mrs. Hatsune, thanks anyway," I said reassuringly.

She nodded and Miku sighed. We went upstairs and caught Neru, Gumi, and Luka already there, sitting quietly.

" Um, hi guys," I said trying to break a silence.

" Hello Rin, " Luka said politely.

Gumi raised a hand in acknowledgement and Neru gave me a half nod, not looking up from her phone.

" So...why the hell is it so quiet?" Rin asked.

" Nothing to talk about," Gumi answered.

" Oh! Who wants to hear me sing!" Neru exclaimed.

" Never thought you'd look up from your phone," Miku said bouncing onto her bed with Neru.

" Well, I did, now, listen-"

" Who likes my pajamas?" Lily exclaimed.

She ran into the room, wearing blue shorts with lemon prints and a gray t-shirt.

" Wow, normal clothes," I said. " Wait, when did you get here?"

" Earlier, duh," Lily said sitting on a green bean bag chair in the corner. " So what now?"

I stood up, and walked to the bathroom that Lily just left.

" Uh, I'm next," Luka said quickly.

" I'm after," Gumi said quickly.

I changed into a orange t-shirt and black pajama shorts, and came back out taking my seat next to Miku. Gumi and Luka ran in, obviously not worried about changing in front of each other and came back in the room, Luka wearing pink shorts and a green t-shirt with the word tuna on the front and Gumi wearing an orange shirt and green pants printed with carrots.

Teto ran through the door, in pink pajamas printed with different types of bread.

" Sorry I'm late!" she gasped.

" Did you run here in your pajamas?" Miku asked slowly.

Teto shifted and her eyes slowly avoided our gazes.

" Maybe.." she said drawling out the word.

Miku laughed and walked into her bathroom, changing into a shirt with a leek on it and green shorts.

" Hey Rin," Teto picked up a box that read Twister and smirked.

Rin raised her eyebrows and smiled.

" Ugh, isn't that game what perverted guys play with girls?" Gumi sighed.

( Meanwhile at Mikuo's house)

" Damn Kaito, you're flexible!" Mikuo watched in awe as Len moved his left hand under Kaito, who was in a back bend, to the blue spot.

" Okay, Ted, left foot, yellow!" Mikuo said.

" Are you freakin kidding me?" he yelled.

(Back at Miku's house)

" So?" Miku said shrugging. " Have a little fun Gumi!"

" Wait, we can't all play at once, or else no one will win," Luka said. " Let's go to the living room."

Miku and Teto sped down the stairs, almost running into her mom, and set up the mat.

" Okay! I'm playing!" Miku exclaimed.

" Me too!" Teto yelled.

I volunteered to play too and watched as Gumi reluctantly took the spinner flicked the arrow. We watched it slow to a stop and looked at her.

" Right hand, blue," she said.

I bent down and placed my hand on a blue circle, the other two doing the same. Gumi spun it again.

" Right foot, green," she said smiling a bit.

Miku moved her foot first, to my dismay. I was gonna put my foot there! I groaned and watched as Teto moved to my next resort.

" Really you two?" I snapped.

Miku stuck out her tongue and Teto laughed. I moved to the green circle that was furthest away, stretching my legs to their limit.

" Hurry up and say it Gumi!" I said in a shaking voice.

She spun again and called, " Left hand red."

I reachedhand under me, turning my body a little and touched the red spot.

" Ha!" I laughed in Teto's face.

She glared and reached over my head putting a hand on a red spot close to mine. Miku tried to reach over me andcouldn't reach.

" Oh, I'm so screwed," she muttered, searching for another way around. She tried to go under and hit my leg.

" Sorry!" she exclaimed. Her head jerked up and knocked the wind out of me. I collasped on top of her (which by the way wasn't that bad since I'm like, half her height).

" I win!" Teto yelled. " In your face Rinny!"

I quickly got off of Miku and grimaced in Teto's direction.

" I would've won if Miku hadn't messed me up!" I accused.

" It's not my fault you were in my way!" she retorted.

" Oh yeah?"

" Yeah!"

" Okay!" Luka broke in. " I don't think we should play Twister."

Lily gasped sudddenly, and we all looked at her shocked face. Or as I know it, her idea face.

" We should play Truth or Dare!" she exclaimed.

" No!" Gumi shouted suddenly.

We all looked at her confusedly, and a little interested.

" Oh? Gumi has a secret," Miku said in a sing-song voice.

" I don't! It's just...I don't like thsi game!" she said quickly.

" Don't try to fool us!" I exclaimed. " Come on! You can just choose dare if you have a secret you don't want to tell."

Gumi seemed to shy away before nodding slowly.

" Okay! Make a circle!" Miku commanded.

We moved the mat and made a small circle in the middle of the floor. Miku picked up a pillow from her couch and held it.

" This is the pillow of Truth and Dare," she said. " Whoever has it-"

" We know how to play Miku," I broke in. " We don't need a pillow. Don't make your own rules."

" Fine," Miku pouted. She tossed the pillow away and covered her eyes, pointing her index finger in a random direction. Her arm went side to side and it finally stopped on Luka. She uncovered her eyes and smiled.

" Truth or dare Luka-senpai?" she asked sweetly.

" Um, Truth..." Luka said uncertainly.

Miku smiled devishly and asked, " Who do you like?"

Luka turned a faint pink that matched her hair and looked away.

" No one," she said in a soft voice.

" Heh..it doesn't seem that way," Miku said giving her a suggestive look.

" I don't like anyone Miku," Luka said, her voice getting a little stronger.

" Are you-"

" She said she doesn't like anyone Miku!" Gumi yelled.

Our eyes grew wide at Gumi's outburst and Miku nodded slowly.

" O-okay. Sorry Luka for prying."

Luka smiled and shook her head.

" It's okay."

" Okay!" Teto said brightly, trying to lighten the mood. " Luka, your turn!"

Luka nodded and turned to Gumi, who seemed to freeze.

" Gumi, truth or dare?" she asked.

" Dare," she answered immediately.

" Um, okay," Luka said laughing a little. " I dare you to...kiss Kaito-senpai tomorrow."

Gumi paled a bit and forced a smile.

" Uh, o-okay."

" What?"

Teto stood up angrily. She looked very distant and pale, almost sick, but her eyes were focused and flaming.

" Is something wrong Teto?" Luka asked.

I looked at her with a worried look as she opened her mouth to speak but then closed it again and shook her head, trying to smile. She sat back down and I mouthed " I'm sorry to her", but she only shook her head and turned away, her bangs covering her eyes.

" I guess it's my turn now," Gumi said softly, looking at Teto with concern. " Um Rin, truth or dare."

" Truth," I said automatically. Why not? I had nothing to- oops.

" Who do you like?" she asked.

Miku shot me a look and I began to internally panic. Rin Kagamine doesn't lie, but she doesn't tell her friends about her incestous relationship either. Okay, calm down, what would Len do?

" Um, the person I like is very close to me, but it naturally wouldn't work out so it doesn't matter," I said slowly. Awesome, I just made a Len reply.

" Is it Rei?" Lily exclaimed.

" Huh?" I did not see that coming.

" I can see that," Teto said, coming to life a little.

" Rei Kagene huh?" Neru said thoughtfully.

Well, I guess this could work. Rei and Len were alike enough, so if I talk about Len, it'd be talking about Rei. Kinda. Miku looked at me and smiled quickly, after shifting uncomfortably

" Um, yeah," I said trying not to sound panicked. " It's Rei."

I thought about len to make myself blush and everyone freaked out.

" Oh my gosh!" Luka cried.

" That's so cute!" Lily squealed.

" Rei and Rin for the win!"

" Too bad no one likes Ted and Mikuo," Gumi said suddenly.

I watched her green eyes slide to her right and saw Neru, who was hunched over texting. The phone trembled in her hands as she felt everyone's eyes stick to her. Her face became a faint red.

" Neru," I said slowly. " Do you..."

" Okay!" she burst. " I like that Miku clone!"

" Miku clone?" the girl herself asked.

" She means Mikuo," I explained to the teal haired girl. Wait a sec...

" You like Mikuo?" I exclaimed. " Since when!"

" Oh secrets are just pouring out now!" Lily laughed.

" Oh yeah," Teto said suddenly. Her eyes narrowed in my cousin's direction.

" Do you like Kaito-senpai?" she said coldly.

Lily looked confused for a moment and then broke into a fit of laughter.

" No! I couldn't like him if I tried!" she said clutching her stomach.

Miku smiled and then her face grew serious.

" You guys," she said. " Saturday, tomorrow, are the auditions. I'm...worried."

" Why?" Teto asked.

" Well, anybody could be there," she said. " People that are better, people that experienced with this kind of business, like Kaito and Meiko-senpai."

I put a comforting arm around Miku's shoulders.

" Come on be confident!" I exclaimed. " This isn't the Miku I know!"

She gave me a small smile and looked back down. There couldn't be that many people aiming to be idols right? The room became eerily quiet and we all processed Miku's words. Everywhere poeple had the same dream we did...could we actually achieve it without problems?

The atmosphere had dropped dramatically; even Lily looked a little defeated. My brow creased into a frown.

" Everyone! We can do this! Don't worry about the people we might meet tomorrow! They might not even be as good as we think!" I said breaking the silence.

They atmosphere lightened a little, but not completely. This was going to be a complicated weekend.

Author's Note: Haha, I wrote the end while listening to Soundless Voice and Spica. I have no filers, so the next will be the awaited auditions! Oh! And thanks for over fifty reviews! :D By the way, I don't know a lot of UTAUs so, if you know any, you could put them in your review, it'd help a lot.

Miku: Since when do I get depressed?

Me: Shut it, the chapter's over
