She awoke to the shrill annoying beep of her alarm clock and a strange heaviness around her waist. She smacked the snooze button irritably. Just ten more minutes… she thought, laying her head back on her pillow once more. …Wait. Why does my waist feel funny? She carefully lifted the covers up off her and saw an arm wrapped around her. Looking over to her left, she realized it belonged to none other than her blue haired house mate.

"Kaito!" she yelled, moving his arm off of her gruffly.

"Oh, good morning, Meiko." He smiled sweetly, rubbing his eyes; apparently not even fazed by the fact that he had been sleeping in the same bed as Meiko.

"What the hell are you doing in my bed?!"

He looked around in surprise, fully taking in his surroundings. "Oh… I thought I was still dreaming." He said obliviously, still half asleep.

She sighed and pushed him out of her room. "Go get ready for work." She huffed, slamming the door.

He stood outside her door, he couldn't help but wonder. Sure, he had been drunk last night, actually he wasn't all too sure if even that had happened, but normally, if he had even tried sleeping in her bed, she would have left him with at least a few bruises, but she didn't even smack him. Maybe she was in an especially good mood this morning? …Or maybe…

Well, whatever. For the time being, he needed to get dressed. He suited up and wrapped his blue scarf around his neck, Meiko said it looked tacky when he wore it with suits, but he didn't care, it was special to him.

As the two stepped outside they saw the snow piled up, making the morning light seem even brighter than usual. Kaito's dusk blue eyes shone brightly, he loved the snow. Meiko on the other hand preferred her weather on the warm side, although, they could both agree that scorching hot summer days were the worst. Kaito fell over onto the perfectly white powdery lawn and began making a snow angel.

"You're going to get your suit all wet!" Meiko protested, trying to get him up off the snow. He laughed and pulled her down into the snow with him.

"Lighten up, Meiko!" he said

"Oh, you are so gonna get it now!" she shouted throwing a fistful of snow at him.

Snowballs and white powder flew as they got into a full on snowball fight. Two adults in fancy clothing battling it out on their front lawn, about to simultaneously knock each other out with massive snowballs as they both remembered.

"We've got to get to work!" the two shouted in unison, discarding their lethal snowballs.

"Screw this, let's take the car!" They both hopped in and Meiko sped off, a bit too fast.

They were both freezing as they entered the bar. Their boss walked over to them, a bright smile on his old face.

"Hey, you two. You don't look so good, you're soaked. Get caught in a blizzard or something?" he chuckled; he had a habit of rambling on an awful lot if no one stopped him. He was a lively old man, but also the type who would not tolerate slacking off.

"Uh… You need something, Boss?" Kaito interrupted, before he began telling them his life story (for the sixth time.)

"Ah, yes!" he began, suddenly remembering what he was going to tell them. "It seems we've had a few customers request that the two of you sing together. I was wondering if you'd be up for it."

Kaito and Meiko looked at each other, Kaito smiled, his eyes forming a question. Of course there was no doubt that he wanted to sing with Meiko. After thinking it over, Meiko smiled back shyly in reply.

"Alright, we'll do it." Kaito answered for the both of them.

Their boss smiled curiously, in that moment he had sensed a spark between them. It seemed as though they were so unified that they could read one another's thoughts, but he decided to keep his mouth shut for once, he certainly did not want to ruin anything.

"So then, I'll leave it up to you two to decide on the set list. Don't worry about bartending today, I've got a new part-timer." He smiled, walking away.

They both just so happened to have a few songs in mind specifically for an occasion like this, as if they had been anticipating it.

"But I'm so rusty on piano." Kaito complained as they both got up on stage, later that afternoon. The two had been rehearsing songs all day.

"Nonsense. Quit whining, Kaito. You know you're good at playing." Meiko reassured him in her own blunt manner.

The side of the room near the stage was becoming crowded with spectators as they noticed that the two were actually up on stage together.

Kaito sat at the piano off to the side, poised and ready to begin, Meiko stood in the middle of the stage her head bowed slightly, waiting for the music. Kaito played the opening and Meiko danced, swinging gracefully andwith the jazzy feel of the music. Their voices melted together during the chorus, a perfect blend of power and sweetness. Meiko seductively blew a kiss in Kaito's direction, laughing at the expression on his face as he nearly missed a few notes.

She strutted over to the piano as Kaito performed his solo. He had forgotten how much fun it was to sing with her, the keys flowed easily beneath his careful fingers as they looked into one another's eyes and Meiko strutted back to her microphone. The song ended and the crowd cheered in awe at their stunning performance. Never had they heard two voices combine so beautifully. Kaito joined Meiko at the front of the stage as the next song began. And throughout the day the stage was crowded with people eager to hear them sing.

They finished their final song and bowed gracefully to the crowd. Cheers echoed loudly, either the spectators were mesmerized by their singing or from their alcohol intake, either way Meiko and Kaito couldn't help but feel rather proud of themselves. They rushed backstage and sat for a moment catching their breath.

Their boss walked into the small space, a rather petite looking girl trailing behind him. "You two did a great job!" he exclaimed, slapping both Kaito and Meiko on the back. He began rambling on about who knows what, when Meiko interrupted him.

"So, boss, who is the young lady you've got there?" she asked

"Oh! Why, I was hoping you two would help her out a bit and give her some tips, as I'm quite busy at the moment. She's the new part-timer I mentioned." He stepped to the side and Meiko and Kaito got a clear view of her.

She was small and rather slim with lively wide eyes that somehow appeared very knowledgeable. Her hair was extremely long, tied up into twin tails that nearly reached the floor and, like her eyes, her hair was a color that the two couldn't quite name.

"It's teal." The girl spoke, a rather high, breathy voice escaping her lips as she broke the silence. "The color of my hair; it's teal" she reiterated, giggling after noticing the confused expression on both the adult's faces. "And my name is Miku, by the way. Miku Hatsune. You don't have to tell me your names, I already know them." She grinned sweetly.

Meiko and Kaito broke out of their stupor.

"Oh- uh it's very nice to meet you." Kaito said, bowing his head.

Meiko shook the young girl's hand, smiling somewhat embarrassedly.

"Alright then, I'll leave her in your care." Their boss chimed in as he walked out of the room.

Kaito looked her over once more, Meiko did the same, then they looked at each other, a perplexed expression in their eyes.

"So, how old are you, Miku?" Kaito asked incredulously.

"Uhh… 21?" She answered shifting her eyes nervously to the side. She was so see-through that they almost laughed.

"You do know this is a bar, right?" Meiko questioned.

"Yes, ma'am." Miku answered, smiling sheepishly.

"How old are you, really?" Kaito repeated his question.

"And just how did you end up working here?" Meiko added.

Miku sighed, "Alright, I'll tell you two since you seem friendly at least." She began "But just don't rat me out, okay?"

"We won't." Kaito and Meiko answered in unison, smiling.

"Well, I'm actually 16, but I got a fake ID so that I could work here. I know that probably sounds crazy, and you're thinking like 'why would she want to work here?' BUT I have a good reason! See there's this person I like and they just so happen to be here quite often…" she trailed off, her teal eyes fleeting to Kaito's for a moment. "And, well, I wanted to get to know them better." She finished, staring down at her feet.

"Ah! So that's it!" Meiko smiled, smacking Miku's back playfully. "That's so cute!" she laughed.

"We won't tell." Kaito added, ruffling her hair. "But how does the boss not notice, I mean, you don't look 21 at all!" he chuckled.

"I honestly don't know." Miku said "I think he might just be playing along to help me."

"We'll help you out too then, Miku." Meiko said, as she and Kaito pulled her along out of the cramped backstage room.

Ha! I finally continued. I've been so busy these past few weeks. ugh.

Anyway, I just realized that I've never mentioned Meiko's and Kaito's ages in my fanfic. Kaito is 21 and Meiko is 23. And they are in mid December, so Kaito's birthday isn't too far off.

So, Miku has now made her entrance. What do you think?

Trust me, this probably is not going to play out the way you think it is. Bwahaha! But that's all I'm telling you about that.

The first song Kaito and Meiko sang was "On The Rocks" it's actually an append duet of theirs by OSTER Project. I recommend giving it a listen.

Thank you for reading! Until next time! :D
