A/N Can I just say thank you so much if you're reading this, especially to those who reviewed, Anisademongirl and The Police of Fanfiction 2016!

Two ~ Firsts

IA woke up in a completely different costume. As most of it was black, she nearly screamed, thinking it was some dirt, but the shriek turned into a confused moan. Then another thought hit her: who the hell had changed her? If it was one of those men from before, she was going to sing so high-pitched she'd break their eardrums, literally. Then she remembered that she wasn't a proper human, so why shouldn't her clothes be digital too? A sudden flicker of white flashed in her eyes and her body started walking on its own towards the door, then down the corridor, then into another room, and so on.

Honestly? IA was expecting this. It's pretty cliché for a robot to be controlled into doing something, what she was more worried about was why and where and who. Because, if any of those answers were bad, it meant hell for her. The beautiful girl came to a stop in front of two fancy, futuristic doors with dark purple lines on them – maybe that was her colour. She looked left and right, shrugged, then opened the doors.

An array of (she guessed) VIPs in holograms were arranged on the seats in front of her, arranged around a curving table, and she felt like she was witnessing the special FX of a sci-fi film. –Another thing that confused her were these artificial memories of general things, but she was more focused on the piercing stares at her as one of the men stood up. IA recognised him – he was the taller man from yesterday.

He coughed before announcing, "This is the latest Vocaloid for VOCALOID3, a teenage girl with a famous voice provider designed to have a realistic, fluent, and confident voice – she could potentially become a star like the CVs or Gumi."

A woman with a criticising look in her eyes spoke next, "Tell her to sing us a song. Don't force her, we need to know if she's as willing as the most popular ones were."

The man from before nodded at her, then tapped at his ipad. IA felt a sudden bling in her cyberbrain. She checked it – there were lyrics and notes to one of her supposed test songs – Tori no Uta. She felt a little less unique singing a cover, but at least it was a nice song that complemented her voice well… On second thoughts, they only chose it because her voice was practically the same as the singer's. She wondered if that was somehow cheating, however she sang the words anyway.

Surprisingly, the song sounded much more human to her than she thought, flowing gently and hitting the notes perfectly. Although she knew she wasn't the best at hitting the middle notes, the song suited her so she found no troubles singing it. When the music stopped, all of the holograms applauded, a big smile on the man who IA guessed was in charge of her – she decided to now refer to him as 'Boss'. The holograms suddenly zipped away, the room now quiet again.

IA blinked a few times. Could other Vocaloids sing like that? She decided to look up a few famous songs on her way back. Not surprisingly, most of them were by Miku. Things like Love is War, World is Mine, Romeo and Cinderella, MELT, Ievan Polkka, Tell Your World and The Disappearance of Hatsune Miku seemed to be a few that came up straight away, others being ones like Meltdown by Rin, Matryoshka by Miku and Gumi, Just be Friends by Luka, Double Lariat by Luka, Donut Hole by Gumi, Tokyo Teddy Bear by Rin, Mozaik Role by Gumi, HAPPY SYNTHESIZER by Gumi and Luka, Joker by Gakupo, a song series called the Story of Evil by Rin and Len, iNSaNiTY by a Vocaloid called SF-A2 Miki and Kaito, magnet by Miku and Luka, Cantarella by Kaito, Remote Control by Rin and Len, SPICE! by Len, Poker Face by Gumi, Kokoro by Rin, Circus Monster by Luka, and many others.

IA looked at the list and felt very small compared to them. She listened to a few that sounded cool to her, and was amazed with almost every single one she listened to. Although some had very, err, adult lyrics, to say it safely. A few others she found were quite gory or sad, such as the Story of Evil (consisting of the famous songs Daughter of Evil by Rin and Servant of Evil by Len, as well as many others), Circus Monster and iNSaNiTY. IA liked the part in that song where she asked what exactly sanity was, then switched back to singing the chorus about insanity.

A sudden urge to look at top tens that every human (yes, everyone must admit it) had gnawed at IA's insides, before she searched 'top Vocaloid songs' into the taskbar. She looked at a fifteen minute video that showed this person's top 20 songs. (Of course this is my list, minus the IA songs :'() This person seemed to like some of the less famous songs and give credit to them, as well as covers that must've been better than the originals. The list included (in order from first to last) Two Breaths Walking by Miku, Servant of Evil by Len, iNSaNiTY by Miki and Kaito, Mozaik Role by Gumi, Double Lariat by Luka, magnet by Rin and Len, Tokyo Teddy Bear by Rin, Cantarella by Kaito, Dream-Eating Monochrome Baku by Len, glow by Miku, Just be Friends by Luka, Circus Monster by CUL, and Romeo and Cinderella by Miku.

IA listened to a few she hadn't heard of before, and decided that it was a pretty good list – if only she could make her way onto it somehow… That was when she first decided to become a superstar like Miku.

The next day she was introduced to her very own virtual home, similar to other Vocaloids', she supposed. It had a white, electric blue and dark purple theme to it. IA felt like a massive upgrade had been given to her, as she was now also given extra types of clothes for artists that might like to use her in the future. Apparently she was allowed to go out and visit other Vocaloids if she wanted to, Boss gave her permission. The white-haired singer sighed at the wide open space that was her room – did Vocaloids get paid? She made sure she wasn't in too bad shape before going out, she wanted to make a few friends and figure out what each of the Vocaloids were really like, particularly that Yuzuki Yukari girl she found online.

Apparently every Vocaloid created lived under the same roof, but it was definitely a big one. IA was sure she got lost about four times on the trip – but to where exactly? She didn't really know, just wanted to find someone she recognised and find out more about them.

But if she did and it was either a boy or Miku, what the hell would IA say?! "I'm a newbie and a big fan so I really wanted to meet you and now I'm here and I'm like OMG" –she obviously wouldn't say that, because it sounds really dumb, but what she'd say probably wouldn't be far off.

She was too busy cringing at the embarrassing scenes playing out in her head to notice what was in front of her – a wall? Worse. Miku? Less than that. IA bumped into a blonde furiously smashing the screen of her phone.

"Hey! Watch it, Te- uh, who're you?" She blinked at IA, IA blinked back.
"You're not a UTAUloid, are ya? I didn't know we were getting one as pretty as you, though."

Her voice reminded IA of someone, and then she remembered. This girl sounded like a weird mix of Miku and Rin's voices, but it worked – somehow it actually worked.

The white-haired Vocaloid remembered what the blonde had said before, "Hey, uh, what's a UTAUloid? I'm sorry, I was only just created a few days ago, I don't know much yet."

"Huh?" Was all the blonde could get out before a microphone was thrown at her with terrifying speed; another squeaky, robotic voice followed.

"OI! NERU! STOP TEASING THE NEWBIES!"

Neru, so that's her name, IA thought, wondering who the new voice belonged to. A dark-pink-haired girl stomped out from the door of another room – she looked roughly the same age as IA – she had her hair done up in curled pigtails, but they were much shorter than Miku's.

She abruptly turned to the Vocaloid, "Hi, sorry about all this, Neru's a bit thick when it comes to manners,"

"Hey! Teto, I am so gonna kill you!"

"-But she's a nice girl, really. Hey, you're the new V3, aren't ya? IA or somethin' like that, right?" IA blinked at her, before replying hesitantly.

"Yeah, I'm called IA. Would you mind explaining to me what these UTAUloids are, Teto, was it?"

"Ah! Yeah, we're sorta similar to Vocaloids, but instead of having voices actually in us, we have to have voices imported onto us, like a programmer's voice or another Vocaloid's voice, tweaked a bit. I usually get a random person's and Neru usually gets either Miku's or Rin's a bit more high-pitched. Then our friend Haku's still in the room recovering from a hangover – she and Meiko just click, ya know what I mean?" She giggled, IA feeling like she should join in too. She spent the rest of that night with the three UTAUloids, chatting about songs and singing voices.

IA sang Tori no Uta again, since it was the only song she was allowed to sing freely at the moment, whereas the others sang their songs full on. Neru sang a catchy tune called Stop Nagging Me! but Teto definitely had more songs, as she sang FIRST, FUKKIRETA and Kasane Territory. Since Haku was a little off, they showed IA a video of one of her best songs, Daughter of White, apparently the Story of Evil told from Haku's point of view. Neru also suggested they watch a song in which they featured in the video (well, apart from Haku, but she was still sleeping, so…) it was called Triple Baka and was sung by Miku. IA laughed at parts, like how Teto robotically mouthed the background singer's music and Neru's tapping at her phone was the music.

Eventually, IA had to leave, however much she wanted to have a sleepover or something. Something told her there was going to be some important stuff happening the next day, though, so she walked back to her room, thankfully not getting lost in the labyrinth of corridors and stairs. A surprise welcomed her when she came to her room though. When the lights automatically turned on, a pair of aqua eyes stared at her from under her bed.

"Um… hi?"

IA grabbed the nearest thing that could be used as a weapon.

A/N Muahahaha I have an evil way of IA meeting the Kagamines… What? Seriously, aqua eyes, have ya not guessed yet?! Okay, I definitely DO NOT ship it, but I decided it would be funnier if it was Len. You'll find out why he's there next chap tho, so wait and see… *evil face* But in the list my other favourites were ones with IA in, like Outer Science, A Tale of Six Trillion Years and a Night, daze (by IA ROCKS), Dialing Paranoia and Pomp and Circumstance. Plus, here's the link to my fave song: watch?v=i9d1KcJe5c4 (original PV) watch?v=cv34h1rvIS0 (PDA video, 60fps) .jp/watch/sm9150606 (Original PV, but on NND) Oh, and I didn't include any songs that weren't around at that time (beginning of 2012) so no Senbonzakura or Karakuri Burst.
