Hey guys! Well I'm quite excited, a little nervous, cuz I just had my audition for my school's play. My performance actually had everyone thinking I was crying XD IT'S CALLED ACTIN PEOPLE! Well now that that's over with it's time for a new chappie! Let's see what happens! :D
Disclaimer: I do not own Vocaloid
Rin's POV
I just stood there making noises which were supposed to be words but failed to come out that way. Kimi giggled and took my hand as she slowly lead the way inside the garden, "That's it, Rin, one step at a time. Come on." I was still trying to process it all when we stood on the front step. Kimi rang the doorbell and a woman on the intercom buzzed in,
"Yes, may I help you?"
"Yes, hi. My name is Kimi and this is Rin? I scheduled an appointment?"
"Ah yes, I'll buzz you in." Immediately after a 'ding' sounded and the doors unlock, Kimi took my hand as she lead me inside the mammoth-sized school. The door closed and I was left standing in front of it, gaping at the tall building. The walls were white and the floor was marble. To my left was a staircase which led to a balcony with classroom I assumed running along the hall above. Ahead of me was a hall which led farther into the school. My eyes drifted to Kimi who stood next to a white door to my right with a smile on her face. Placing a hand on the golden handle she nudged me inside with the other. I hesitantly walked in and she closed the door leaving me facing three adults sitting behind a long table in front of a wall of windows. Two men and a woman in the middle, all wearing business suits.
"Hello," Kimi bowed politely, "I am Kimi. I scheduled an appointment for my best friend Rin Kagamine." She gestured to me, "And this is her." I gasped before bowing quickly, keeping my hands clasped in front of me.
"H-hello, n-nice to meet you." The woman, who wore red lipstick, glasses and had her blond hair in a bun smiled,
"Hello, Rin, it's a pleasure to meet you." I blinked, flustered,
"Uh, th-thank you same with you." I said bowing again.
"Now I'll leave ya to it, Rinny~." Kimi chirped as she marched to the door, I flinched,
"Eh? Leave? Why are you leaving me?" She giggled and winked quickly,
"You'll see, Rinny-chan and don't worry I'll be waiting right outside the door." With that she closed the door,
"K-K-Kimi!" I straightened my arms to my sides as I leaned forward in protest, the woman laughed,
"Don't worry, Rin. She'll be waiting right outside; she's a girl of her word." I raised an eyebrow in suspicion,
"How do you know Kimi?" The blonde man to her left smiled,
"Let's just say we've known her for quite a long time. Now," he clasped his hands and leaned his elbows on the table, "We want to hear you sing." Right after the chubby man on the right tossed me a mic; I stared at it for a while then registered what he said,
"E-eeeeehh?! Sing!" I glared at the door, "Kimiiiii! What did you do!" I swore I heard her giggling outside as I glared and fire burned around me,
"Excuse me, Miss Rin." Said the chubby guy and I stared at him,
"Hm?"
"Miss Kimi had told us what a big fan of the Vocaloids you are and today is your birthday. She said you were remarkably talented with music too and she wanted to give you the best present ever." I blinked and stared at him,
"She did?" I stared at the door, "Kimi-chan . . ."
"Now . . ." one of them pressed the switch on the stereo and Strength (A/N Fourth ending of Soul Eater, which I do not own) began to play. Kimi must have told them that was my favorite anime. I puffed my cheeks out in annoyance. I am so gonna get back at her. "Sing for us, Rin." I gasped as I held the mic; my knees began to shake as everyone's, who bullied me, echoed in my mind:
". . . you always killed your time with such uselessness."
"You can't get involved in music!"
"Ha, she's late again."
"Hehe no surprise, she's always late."
"Music is such a waste! Why bother with it?" As the words echoed in my mind, tears came to my eyes and I squeezed them shut. The lyrics were coming up and I was going to have to sing but I couldn't. I dropped the mic and ran out the door, leaving the three adults calling after me.
Crying, I ran up the stairs and down the hall then into no class in particular but I closed the door and slid my back on it as I cried into my lap as I sat in a ball. I lost count of the time I sat there but finally I calmed down and gasped when I saw the room I was in: a music room. There were guitars hanging on the walls and drums, violins, cellos, flutes and even a black grand piano in front of me. I was at a loss of words. Standing up I looked around then approached the piano and flinched when I saw the sheet music. "Hm? Melt?" I picked it up, "This must be Miku's newest song." I pulled the bench out, sat down and began to examine the notes.
Kimi's POV
"But sir, I promise you, she's truly remarkable!" The blonde man, who had wanted to hear Rin sing, closed his eyes.
"I'm sorry, but she refused to return after we asked her to sing. We cannot determine how well she performs if she won't perform for us."
"But Mr. Takahata!" (A/N Couldn't help but think of Negima! I do not own it) He raised a hand,
"Enough." I blinked then stared sadly at the tile floor,
"Yes sir." Suddenly piano playing caught our ears and we looked towards one of the music rooms on the upper floor. When we headed towards the door we stopped to listen.
"Who . . . is that? They're playing Melt . . . and playing it absolutely perfectly!" I smiled at the door,
"That . . ." then I smiled brightly at him with my hands behind my back, "would be my Rinny-chan." He continued to stare in complete loss for words but when the songs ended he burst into the room, slamming the door open.
Rin's POV
The door slammed open once I had finished the song an cried as I shot to my feet and slowly started to back up to the windows on the wall across the door, "Ah! I-I'm sorry! When I left the room I found myself here and and I couldn't help but play Miku's new song!" I bowed, "I'm very sorry! I won't do it again!" He stared at me as I stayed bowing until Kimi broke the ice,
"Say, Mr. Takahata, didn't our current pianist quit?"
"Hm . . . you know you're right, Kimi."
"Heh?" I blinked the straightened up to see him smiling at me,
"You really do have a remarkable talent, Rin, and since our current pianist has quit . . . would you like to be our new one?" I gasped,
"What?" I whispered then looked at Kimi who winked at me, I gasped in awe as my face shone with a smile, "Yes! Yes!" I threw my arms around his neck in a hug and the force I created caused me to spin him once, "Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mr. Takahata!" He blinked then smiled and placed me down before patting my head,
"You're very welcome." I giggled then Kimi approached me,
"Here's the other part of your present."
"Oh no, you've given me this, Kimi I couldn't-" I stopped when she held out a giant stuffed orange with tiny arms and legs and absolutely adorable smiling face. I took the soft thing in my hands,
"It's so cute~!" I cried then threw myself in her arms, "Thank you so much, Kimi! You've done so much for me! I couldn't ask for a better friend than you!" She smiled and hugged me back,
"Don't mention it, Rin-chan. What are friends for after all?"
Yay happy ending! Please review and I'll see you guys next time!
