Thanks for the reviews! :D
So some of you have asked that I make a chapter for the Evil Series. Well, the problem with that is that when I was brainstorming, the story in my head became way too long ^^; So I made a completely separate story called "The Evil Beginning"(Yeah, I know I advertised this in the last chapter, but… yeah).
In addition to that, people wanted Synchronicity, right? Well, here's a shot ^^;
"So wait a second, what am I again?" Miku asked for what I swear was the seventh time. "It's some sort of… evil queen, right?" She picked up her spoon and dipped it into the onion soup before her.
"I believe they called it a pythoness," Rin said, her voice raising in pitch, turning her reply into a question. "But basically, you're a dragon queen."
"Something like that," Kaito agreed, glaring at his salad, obviously wishing it would turn into an overflowing bowl of ice-cream.
"Well, I'm excited," Miku continued.
I glanced up at her. "Why's that?"
Miku's usual perky aura was somehow enhanced, making her excessively cheery. "Because," she began, "I always play the sweet little girl who ends up dead in the end. This time, I get to be the evil one."
Rin, finishing a spoonful of tangerine shave ice, blinked in surprise. "But you die in this one too, don't you?"
"That's not true… is it?"
I sighed. "No, you just sort of… well I guess you turn into a dragon? It's really unclear."
She grinned from ear to ear, putting me on high alert. "Well at least I get a cool costume."
I groaned. "Would you be quiet already? I know I get a girly fur coat and I have to paint my nails again! You don't need to rub it in!" I retaliated, clenching my fists so the bright yellow of my nails is hidden from sight. In my periphery, I saw Kaito mimicking my moves and I suppressed snicker when I remembered that all of the guys on this song have been forced to get manicures (not just me!).
Luka glanced up from her snack. "But Len, don't you always have painted nails?"
I mumbled something that even I couldn't understand.
"Well I love my role," Rin commented idly.
Meiko set down her sake cup. "Why? What's special about it? The costume?"
"No, it's just that I finally get to be optimistic. It's always Len that gets to have the self-sacrifice, look-to-the-light attitude. Now it's my turn."
Luka, always the voice of reason, put a stop to that too. "But… Len is still self-sacrificing. He risks his life and treason to save you from the dragon."
"Details." My sister waved off the counter-example.
"This is stupid," I finally said, admitting my real feelings. "It's only an excuse to let the less popular vocaloids take the stage."
"Oh, is that why they get all the second-long shots in the film?" Miku questioned rhetorically.
I shrugged. "I just don't see the point. I also have no idea how it got so popular!"
"It's a brilliant story," Luka mirrored my shrug.
And that was when Meiko passed out. It was a real surprise, considering how she usually screamed and became really loud when she got drunk. So we all chipped in on dragging her home before we said our goodbyes.
It wasn't until Rin and I had showered and were surfing the web for our newest song when something really interesting happened.
"Hey Len," Rin whispered conspiratorially.
"Yeah?" I replied normally.
"I have an idea."
I didn't glance up from my screen. "Do you?"
She pushed the screen of my laptop down so that she could get my attention.
"Fine, I'll bite. What's up?"
Her eyes darted left and right as if she expected someone to catch her. "I need your help to hack the account of whoever posts our videos."
My eyes went wide. She definitely had my attention now. "Why the heck do you need me to do that?"
"Well," she explained, "look at some of the comments our fans post." She turns her screen towards me. "I want Rin's anklets so so so badly!" and "Len is so hawt in this!".
"And?"
"They have no idea how to appreciate a good story!"
"So what?" I asked, still confused as to where she was going with this. Did she want to delete the video off the site or something?
She leaned over and whispered something hardly intelligible into my ear.
I felt a grin creep over my face.
For the next hour or so, we attempted to crack the account, feeling like spies… or two teenage, Japanese pop stars in their house pretending to be spies.
When the website finally accepted our login name and password, sweet satisfaction swept through us both and evil smirks took place as we went to the editing page of Synchronicity Paradise of Light and Shadows part two of two, changing the second two to a three.
We grinned like the Cheshire cat, deleting the recent history on our laptops, destroying the evidence. That'll teach them to take our stories for granted.
So I know that that's probably not how it happened ^^; I heard they're discontinuing it. Does anyone have a confirmation?
…Who else is supposed to be studying for finals and/or other tests instead of contributing to this site? ^^;
Please review!
