Waking up to someone drooling on you wasn't what Luka would call ideal. Something heavy laid on her as she felt moisture on her chest. She opened her eyes only to find a face nuzzled in between her breast.

"KYAAAA!"

Slap

"Ow. What was that for?" A glowing red mark appeared on the face of the tealette who just woke up. Rubbing where she was hit, she sat up on the floor she fell on and gave the pinkette a pout.

"You... You... Sex offender! What do you think you were doing?!"

Confused, Miku's head tilted ever so slightly to the left. "What do you mean? I just woke up."

"Your face... On my... my..." Luka's face turned completely red, too embarrassed to even complete the sentence. Covering her chest as if protecting herself from a rapist.

"Oh. If you're talking about your breast then there's no need to worry. It was just that you took my only pillow and your chest seemed like a good substitute." Miku look so innocent and clueless when she said that it made Luka unsure of what she should do next. Just as she was about to open her mouth to say something, the ringing of the alarm clock interrupted her. Miku reached to turn it off and then headed for the bathroom.

"Where are you going?" questioned Luka when she saw the tealette leaving the room.

"I'm going to get ready for school." and with that, Miku left.


The walk to school was at a fairly slow pace as Miku was too lazy to go any faster. Miku was now dressed in her school uniform and Luka had changed her sleeping attire to a white blouse and casual jeans after looking at a few magazines in Miku's room while she got ready.

Luka had a deadpan look all the way to school. As the duo entered the school building, Miku was surprised to see that no one paid any mind to the pinkette trailing close behind her. Sensing her confusing the genie explained.

"No one can see me now but you. I would much rather not be seen by everyone including you but you're currently my master so I can't do that."

"Awww, I'm touched you want me to see you." This statement made Luka fluster and tinted her face a light shade of pink. At that moment, a green haired girl pounced on Miku from behind, make the girl jump a little.

"Hey, Miku. Why're you talking to yourself?" asked Gumi, Miku's best friend.

"I'll be around the school compound. I'll come find you when classes are over, try not to bug me till then. And it's not like I want you to see me..." Luka told Miku just before she exited the classroom, mumbling the last part quietly to herself.

"Oh, I was just memorizing something." Miku quickly retorted when she realized she hasn't answered Gumi yet.

"If you say so. Now, hurry up and put on your indoor shoes so that we can get to class." Gumi rushed Miku, eager to get there as early as possible so she could do her unfinished homework.

The rest of the morning went on as normal for Miku as she had to sit through boring classes and took a few short naps here and there. She occasionally looked out the window and sometimes found Luka out in the garden either resting or playing with a brown furred cat Miku has never seen before.

Before she knew it, school was over and Luka was by her side again, walking towards the new antique shop she went to yesterday. The cat she saw Luka with just now currently trailing closely behind them.

"Is that your cat?" asked Miku as she pointed to it.

"Yes, her name is Meiko and she's my loyal familiar." As if on cue, Meiko meowed as if she wanted to be carried. Luka picked the cat up and held it like a baby. Meiko purred in satisfaction and closed her eyes.

It didn't take long until they reached their destination and with a push of the heavy wooden door, a light ringing of a bell could be heard. But unlike yesterday, Gakupo was there at the door.

"I see Meiko found her way to you." Gakupo said after greeting them. He then took Meiko from Luka's arms which woke the sleeping cat up. It purred in distaste for being woken up and clawed at Gakupo's face.

"Why'd you give my necklace away again?" Luka questioned the wincing man with extra emphasis on the word 'again'.

"Always cutting to the chase I see. Well as for the necklace, I thought you might be getting bored by now and decided to let you experience the world again after... A hundred years was it? Or maybe two hundred?"

"Didn't I tell you I didn't want to be bothered for at least the next thousand years? Or are you deaf?"

All this time, Miku just stood in the background observing their bickering, unsure of what to do. Meiko suddenly popped out of nowhere and stared at Miku as if trying to tell her something. It then turned around and walked to the back of the shop. Not having anything better to do, Miku followed it.

Trailing closely, Miku was lead behind the counter where Meiko stopped and climbed onto one of the shelves there. The cat tugged a sack of cat food to its bowl by the counter and looked at Miku expectantly. Obliging to the cat's wishes, Miku opened the sack and poured out a big helping of its contents into the bowl.

Purring in delight, Meiko began to eat, leaving Miku standing at the counter, long forgotten. Bored, the tealette examined the items on the counter. Various complicated machines laid there along with a few tools and a cup of coffee.

Underneath the counter, Miku found an old, dusty book with a brown leather cover. Curious, she opened it and found many pictures of people with dates and descriptions written beside the pictures. The pages were stained yellow and had a few tears here and there indicating its old age.

The book seemed to be some sort of timeline, keeping a record of each person in a different time. In the description, the origin, age, personality and what the person wished for was recorded down. These people were from all over the globe, ranging from Scotland all the way to Korea. All their ages, wishes and personality varied from person to person.

"Ah, I see you've found my record book." Miku lifted her head to find Gakupo smiling at her while Luka just stood behind him wearing an unamused look. Miku just gave him a questioning look, waiting for him to go on.

"I'm guessing you want an explanation right about now, am I right?" a nod came from the tealette as a confirmation.

"Okay well, as you most probably know by now, Luka isn't exactly human. She's what you people nowadays would call a genie. So whoever finds her necklace, which is you, get three wishes."

"Oh! That's so cool. So I can wish for anything?"

"Well, almost everything, there's only one thing a genie can't do... They can't bring dead people back to life." When Gakupo said that, Luka suddenly stormed off leaving the shop with a slam of the door. About to go after her, Miku was almost at the door when Gakupo told her not to.

"She needs her time, I shouldn't have said that in front of her." Gakupo sat down dejectedly.

"What did you say that would make her storm off like that?"

"It's not my place to tell, you should ask her yourself if you want to know. In the mean time, you should just wait it out a while before going after her again." Gakupo then offered Miku a cup of tea along with some sweets while they waited.


"I think I should go and look for Luka now, it's getting a bit late." Miku said as she finished the last of her tea. It had been about thirty minutes or so since Luka left and the sun was starting to set.

"Okay, take Meiko with you. She's like a Luka detector, no one can find Luka as quick as Meiko." With a wave and a small smile, Miku left the shop and began her search for the pinkette. With Meiko leading the way, it barely took the girl two minutes to find her.

Luka was sitting on a swing in a nearby park, her eyes seemed to be looking at something far away. Meiko was the first to go up to her. She jumped on her lap and layed there while Luka was still daydreaming. The pinkette finally came back to the present when Miku tapped her shoulder.

"You alright, Luka? Why did you leave all of a sudden just now?"

"Non of you business."

"But I want to help if there's anything I can do." At this point, people at the park began staring at the tealette wondering if there was something wrong with her for her to talk to a cat on a swing set.

"There's nothing you can do. Now lets go, people are starting to stare."

Meiko quickly jumped off Luka before she stood up and meowed in protest. The genie just ignored it and went in the direction of Miku's house.

The entire walk home was quiet. Luka didn't utter a word and Miku feltlike she shouldn't either. Meiko was just following them closely but she too didn't let out a sound. There was a heavy atmosphere around them and no one dared to or bothered to break it.

When they reached home, Miku's mother questioned her why she was so late again and why was there a cat following her. Miku quickly made up a lie of having o stay back at school and asked her mom if she could keep the cat, which her mom soon agreed.

That night, Luka went back into her necklace and left the bed free for Miku to use. As Miku tucked herself in, Meiko decided to join her and layed beside her. When her head hit the pillow, she remembered how nice having Luka as her pillow was and the warmth that came with.

As she drifted off to sleep, she had dream. she couldn't quite remember what it was about except for the color pink and the distinct smell of lavender.
