//------------------------------// // Chapter 11: Silent Meeting // Story: Vocaloid in Equestria: beta session // by DerpyStarlet //------------------------------// The sun was shining through the bedroom, Len and I were resting in two of the four beds within the room. Surprisingly, I was the first to wake up, feeling drowsy and lazy as usual. My hair was all over the place, even some in my mouth. I let out a yawn, making the strand of yellow hair come out of my mouth. I sat up from where I was sleeping, stretching out my arms, making them crack a little. I reached for my glasses, then realizing later that I didn't have glasses now. I took out my phone (which I brought out the bag last night) and checked the time, I saw that it was around twelve in the afternoon, my usual wake-up time. I then got out of bed and started doing my morning routine. ~ After I brushed my teeth and hair, and cleaned myself, I headed out to see what Twilight and maybe the others were up to. But when I reached the end of the hallway, I started to hear singing. For some reason, as the voice was singing, the instruments to the song starts playing. The song was so familiar, and so soothing, I had no other choice, but to follow the singing voice. As I followed the voice, the music got louder. I saw that the voice lead me to a doorway to a balcony, through the cracks of the door, I saw long purple hair that was in a ponytail. And also a white fancy outfit... I'm not really sure what it was called again. =_= The unknown person was still singing. Thanks to it's voice a realized it is 'he'. The person was so into his singing, he didn't notice the creaking of the door opening, and me slowly walking up to him. (not that he wouldn't hear that. I'm super good at being light on my feet) As I got closer, I noticed the guy had a piece of paper in his hand. Thankfully, his eyes were closed as he was singing so I could take a closer look at him. I then saw tears going down his cheeks and saw a glimpse of the paper seeing that he had a drawing of someone. I moved back, thinking of how to approach the situation. 'Okay, so right now, there's a human male on the balcony, sitting on the rail, singing and crying while holding a drawing of someone. Obviously, it's a loved one and that maybe he's upset due to the realization that he may not return back home so see him or her again... Think, think! What would Pinkie Pie do?' The obvious just hit me. Without wasting a second, I approached the guy again, this time not making sure I was quiet. As I got closer, the song died down. I then bent down, making my head lie on the rail. I then scooted closer, almost touching the sleeve of his outfit. I then lifted my head up, and spoke. "Hey." I showed him a warm smile. He just glanced at me, then looked back at the drawing. "Hi." He mumbled. "Whatcha got there?" I eyed the drawing. At first I thought he would ignore my question, but surprisingly, he brought the drawing to my eyesight, making me get up to see it more clearly. It was a drawn picture of a blonde girl with black eyes, wavy hair and light tan skin, showing a smile with dimples leaving a feeling of kindness by looking at it. "Who's that? And by the way, what a lovely drawing." I asked then complimented. "Sh-she was my girlfriend." He stuttered. He then took the drawing and 'hugged' it. "Was?" I noticed that. 'Did they break up or something?' "She's d-dead." He said bluntly, surprising me a little. "I'm sorry for your loss." I placed my hand on his shoulder. "It's fine. She's in a better place now. After what 'they' did to her." The last few words came out a bit dark in his voice. "Can you explain it? I-I mean if you don't want to that fine I was just-" I was cut off by him chucking at my little antic. "It's okay. I can tell you." He then started. "A few years ago, a mugger tried to take her belonging. Of course she refused, making the mugger use his gun, shooting her near her heart. Of course as soon as I came, the mugger was long gone and I was left to share her last moments with. It felt so fake, I thought it was a nightmare, but when I saw her in the coffin, I knew I was in reality. I try to continue on with life, but somehow, she returns within my mind." "Well, don't worry. You can find another girlfriend, or should I say marefriend." I showed a playful smirk. That made him chuckle a bit. "Thanks Rin." "Ah, it was nothing. Now! Would you like to wake up Len with me?" I asked. "Eh, why not." He then placed the drawing in a backpack I didn't noticed. I saw that it was white with purple streaks. "Let me show you where he is." I then grabbed his hand, and walked back inside, making sure to close the door behind us. ~ "Len? Len~." I whispered in his ear. "What?" He mumbled "We have a visitor in our room." "Can you tell them to come back later?" "NOPE!" Kamui, the guy a met on the balcony, shouted in his other ear. "Gah! Fuck!" Len covered his ears. "Who the fuck was-" He then noticed Kamui. "Who are you?" "The names Kamui, Len. One of the two new Vocaloid's staying within these castle walls. "Wait, two?" Len and I asked simultaneously. "Yes, me and Luka. Did I forgot to tell you?" He asked me. "Um. Yeah." I answered. "Where is this Luka?" "Come." Kamui then grabbed my hand and we left the room. "H-hey! Wait for me! I still need to get ready!" I heard Len shout. ~ After Len did his morning routine, we followed Kamui to another room within the castle. He opened the room slowly, not making a sound. He then made the motion of zipping his mouth shut, then motioning us to follow him. As we followed him, I saw some pink hair on the side we were creeping on. As we got closer, I saw a sleeping form of Luka in the blue bed. "Wow..." I heard Len whisper. "Now there's four of us." He stated. "Indeed." Kamui agreed. "I remember Discord saying that there was more just like me. I'm guessing that maybe more will come soon." He explained. "You mean there will be more!" I whisper-shouted. "But there's so many Vocaloid's in the group." I said. "How many?" Len asked. "I don't know. There was too many to count." "Oh." "I hope Miku comes soon." Kamui said. "She was one of my favorites." "There are going to be so many humans in Equestria." I rolled my eyes. "Mhm? Huh?" Luka started stirring. "Quick! Let's get out!" Kamui started shoving me and Len. ~ When we left the room, we all went back to me and Len's bedroom. "Wait? Why did we leave Luka's room again?" I asked. "You know how rude it is to be in the room of a sleeping women." Kamui stated. "True, true. Now when should we meet her personally?" But before anyone could answer that, a light knocking echoed through the large room. "Kamui? You in here? Who you talking to?" We heard a feminine voice call out. "Nevermind." I said. The door then opened, showing a now awake Luka, showing her long pink hair, purple eyes, and black dress. When she saw me and Len, she let out a small gasp. "So these are the other two." She stated. "Um. Hi?" I then greeted her. ~At the Crystal Empire~ "Sir! Permission to speak?" I royal guard called out to a white stallion with two toned blue mane. "Granted." He spoke. "Sir, while doing our morning rout, we came across an odd creature." "Describe it to me?" The white stallion commanded. "Sir, it wore a white coat and had a short blue mane. It also had a guitar that seemed a bit too large for a mare or stallion. What shall we do with it, Sir?" The guard asked. "Hmm." The stallion was thinking of what to do with the strange creature. 'It could be dangerous, I should send it to the dungeon for extra precaution. I don't want to put anypony in danger.' "Gaurd, place the creature within the dungeon." "Yes sir." The guard then ran out the room, but as he left, a pink alicorn walked inside. "What are you doing Shining?" The mare asked. "I'll tell you later Cadence." The white stallion named Shining Armor replied.
