Porky the King: Oh gosh I read the Deadsune Miku . exe you told me about, and I had a hard time sleeping. Good thing though! A creepypasta's not a creepypasta if it doesn't haunt your freaking brain at night. Though I may never listen to Melt ever again...

This may be the last fluffy/lalala/life's all good chapter before things get...different. You'll see~

Chapter Five: It was Perfect

"I've got something for you, Rin."

It was a bright, beautiful Christmas morning. Len remembered the years when he and Rin would sneak down at like five in the morning in order to get their hands on the presents. Then they would spend the entire day watching holiday re-runs, playing with each other's gifts. This year, it was different.

It took Len quite a while to get the tree set up. Iroha wasn't with him to celebrate Christmas, because she had her own family to spend it with. But Len wasn't miserable. Rin was there with him, even though she wasn't exactly alive.

"What is it, Len?" She hopped up and down, if that was even possible in the air, and the cable attaching her to his laptop moved up and down.

Len took out a USB. Rin cocked her head, still curious about what he gave her.

"I've spent several days working on this, Rin. I've programmed all your memories in this drive, so you can remember them. You were always so sad that you couldn't bring your memories back. So I'll bring them to you."

Rin's eyes teared up. "Oh, Len..."

Len smiled humbly. "I have just one complication, though. It's not yet complete, because I still have to program the events of your death. You won't remember the details. But once that's done, your memory will be completed. I just...it's hard, you know. I promise I'll get it to you though."

There was USB socket on her collarbone. Rin moved down, and let him insert the hard drive.

"Now just wait a second. I'll get this booted up for you." He flipped open his gray laptop, opening the program. Within minutes, true to his words, Rin felt...different.

"Is this...?" Her eyes glazed over. She closed them, shuting down for a second. Rin started rebooting.

Then her eyes shot open, her wings extending. Her back arched, hands flying to her head. Rin's white eyes widened, as if she was about to cry.

But she didn't. Rin laughed, high and girlish. She flew up around the house, up in the rafters, everywhere.

"I remember this! And this! And this! Yes, you kept the couch! Oh, I can't believe you renovated the kitchen! But what am I saying? This is my house!" She immediately flew to Len, a Rin-like smile on her face. She flew in to embrace him.

"And you are my Len!"

But being a ghost, she passed right through him. She was but a spirit, causing Len a chill as her body manifested.

She turned around, sighing. "Oh. Right."

Len felt a little remorse, as he brought out a hand to touch her. His fingers passed right though, like feeling fog. There was nothing there.

"I'm sorry. How...how do you feel?"

"I feel...almost alive. I had trouble believing what you said to me, but now I know that the past is buried within me. I never realized how much this place changed." She looked up at the dusty ceiling, as the chandelier used to be there.

"I wanna see my room!" She suddenly blurted. Estactic once again, she tried to fly upstairs. Len grabbed the computer, running after her.

"Are you sure? Do you-"

"YES!"

Rin's room was right next to his. The door had been boarded up since she died, and the doorknob removed. Rin passed through easily, however. The computer was up against the door, moving around as Rin attempted explore.

"Can't you fetter yourself somewhere else?" He inquired.

"I-I can't...there's no electricity in the room."

Len thought for a while. He went outside, and climbed through the dusty window of Rin's room. He soon met her, still stuck in the door.

"Here," He spoke, taking out his cellphone. "Come over here, instead."

Rin reattached herself to his phone, which immediately turned itself on. Len could never get over the amazement whenever Rin does that. It was another reminder of how powerful she was.

"Thanks!" She replied, smiling at him.

The room inhabited dust, which reflected the winter sunlight as they floated around aimlessly. Rin's room looked drabby and desolate, her once bright orange wallpaper faded to a tawny colour. The window hasn't been open for ages, and the electricity in the room were disabled.

Rin's eyes traveled carefully, disbelieving. "This is my room?"

The room was the same, just the "Rin" was missing from it. As well, it gave a miserable, lonely atmosphere. Something important in it had been taken away.

The electric angel floated to a chalky, undusted photograph of her and Len in front of their house. Rin had a winky face, rustling Len's hair, while he looked like he wanted to kill himself. She picked it up, sinking into a pool of nostalgia.

"Len, now it's time for me to give you MY gift..."

DING-DONG!

Whatever Rin was going to say, the doorbell rang. Len gave Rin an apologetic smile, and climbed out of the window with her. Rin sighed as they came to whoever was standing at their doorstep, before disappearing out of sight.

"Hey Lenka..." Len greeted. "Merry Christmas!"

Lenka shrieked, leaping into the air. She turned to face him, face burning up. "Oh, yes...merry Christmas. Mind my manners."

"Haha, it's alright." He opened the door, letting her in. "How's your family?"

"Eh." She replied, shrugging. "They're alright. You're more like family to me, to be honest. Less demanding. Less abusive."

"I'm...sorry..." His voice softened.

Lenka gave a fake laugh. "Hah! It's not me this time. My mom showed him who was boss. Whatever partners he had before all shared a part of his temper. I swear, if he laid a finger on me, we'll see who will be bruised and bloody on the ground this time..." Lenka tensed up, some horrible memory probably agitating her. "Not me. Never again."

Len stared, sympathy and a slight fear in his eyes.

"Oh, I'm so sorry. I bet you don't want to hear anymore of my shitty life." She sighed. "I brought you something, it being the holidays and all. I hope you like it."

From the inside of her mittens, Lenka pulled something out. She stuck it into the pocket of Len's coat, turning around rigidly.

"I knew it would be something you'd like. I'm just gonna go back now. Thanks for everything, Len." Lenka walked away, without another glance of her.

"Wait!" Len's hand dug inside his pocket, and found a SD card. 120 gigabytes worth of data storage. This thing was insanely expensive, advertised on one of those rich, snooty TV commercials. It was something a computer geek could only dream of getting.

And it was here, right in the palm of his hand. Close to infinity pictures, videos, documents, games, and music files could be stored on this tiny thing.

"Lenka!" Len would never let her go, leaving him with advanced, expensive technology.

Len's hand flew to his other pocket, where Iroha's gift was.

Was he going to do it? Is he going to just leave her with nothing, though Iroha didn't even visit? But Lenka was alone this Christmas, with people who didn't care she existed.

"I have something for you too." The blonde ponytail turned around as she looked at him.

Len took out the necklace, the one that he meant to give to Iroha. No amount of words could describe the guilt he felt, even though he questioned whether this was a right or wrong act.

Lenka's hands flew to her mouth. Even though she had better necklaces than this, the fact that someone even considered buying her one made her think she was dreaming.

Putting the necklace around her neck, Len smiled nervously. He hoped that she would like it, or it was a waste of money. She fumbled with the charm, staring long and hard into the words "Kokoro."

"Do you like it?"

"No." Lenka smiled up into his eyes, framed by glasses.

She hugged him, her bangs tickling his bare neck. Pulling apart, she gave his cheek a quick peck.

"I love it."

When Len's senses came back to him, she was gone. His hand felt the place where she had kissed him. Hormone-responsible thoughts raked his brain, and he fell into his own fantasy world.

"Does she want to get back with me...?" He thought, chest tightening. If so, he wasn't going to loose her again.

Realizing that he was just standing in the snow like an idiot, he returned into the house. He was met by an overwhelmed, stupified Rin.

"That...that was Iroha's necklace...and you just gave it away to her like that?!" Rin's voice was faraway, as if she still didn't believe it. "Just because some girl gives you an SD card, you give Iroha's present to her? That, that wasn't cool Len..."

Everything seemed to drain out of him. He remembered Iroha, and felt like a jerk.

"What was I thinking..." Iroha had done much more than Lenka had, and yet he had given the present to her. Even though the SD card was valuable, Lenka was blooming rich anyways. And Iroha was all he had.

Rin patted his shoulder. "I understand. I was in your shoes once, the time where your hormones makes your decisions. That's why I was so protective of you from Lenka, because I didn't want you to be cheated in the way I have been. And whadaya know. She left you, like I had predicted. I don't know why you want to get back with her, but whatever your choice is, be careful."

Len stared, deep in thought. "She's as messed up as me."

"But Lenka doesn't have ME. I'm here to talk to you, when you have nobody." She sighed. "I hope you'll be able to take care of yourself. Don't wanna make the same mistake again, don't we." She ruffled his hair.

"Your 'boyfriend' wasn't someone I liked either, and I was surprised that you remember him. The USB is doing you good?"

"Very!" Rin tapped her noggin. She faced the window, fresh snow falling down. "Len, Len! Let's go catch some snowflakes!"

Len laughed, throwing his hair back. The two of them rushed out of the door.

It turned out that Iroha was on a winter vacation to visit her family, who were in another part of Japan. She sent an email with pictures, apologizing that she didn't spend Christmas with him. She is protective of him even in email, probably still worried about his encounter with Ted.

But all the days that followed were...perfect. Word tends to get around, sometimes getting jacked up on the way there. So news on Len beating up Ted, Piko and Kaito spread like viruses. Len suddenly became popular in his school, something that overwhelmed and cheered him at the same time. People started giving high fives to him, and asked him to hang out at lunch. He managed to give several girls his number, his email, etc. Friend requests on Facebook overloaded. Within weeks after Christmas, everyone knew his name.

However, popularity wasn't something Len really desired. He was a person of simple pleasures, and loved nothing more than his computer, Iroha and Rin. Now, the electric angel looked like a 4-D diva from a fantasy anime RPG. Rin's appearance and wings made her resemble something from a video game, but Len didn't mind. Rin was Rin, no matter which form she took on.

Having width and depth, Rin was like a hologram of herself. She sang, did dances, and moved as if she were alive. When songs came out of her mouth, it was like he entered a concert and saw his sister alive, in a show outfit, doing the thing she loved the most: Singing.

If only could feel the living warmness from her skin, which contrasted the cold, static-filled air the electric angel was made of. If only she could talk without the robotic tone she possessed. If only he could hug her, or even just feel her fingers as she rustled his hair. It was something she had always done to him, and it didn't feel the same.

But Len knew that as long as he kept on loving her, there was nothing she feared. He used the Vocaloid program every day, eventually showing his classmates. They were all surprised and inspired by it, using borrowed technology and making "vocal androids" with their own voices. With these voices, they made songs and shared them with each other. Finally, Len's isolated and detached school bonded with each other through music...all because of him.

It was all perfect. His social status, his sister, and his grades. And his love life, as well.

Because one day, Lenka asked to be Len's girlfriend and we can only imagine what he said. He didn't know the consequences a simple "Yes!" could arise. It was all perfect, till that day.

Then everything changed.

a/n: It saddens me that Rin never actually revealed what she wanted to give to Len... ;_;

STAY TUNED FOR MORE! :D ~ xoxo
