Songs Across The Seas (A Hatsune Miku Story)

Fifteen

Miku sat on her bed, legs crossed. Dressed in her signature Vocaloid look, she was waiting for Alex to get out of the bathroom so that they could leave for the studio.

Alex finally came out, dressed in his own Vocaloid look: his white and black vest with the hoodie down. He wore dark blue jeans tucked into his black boots. His bandana hung out of his back right pocket. He also had two thin black arm socks that went up his arms, stopping about an inch below his Vocaloid number.

Arms outstretched, he turned in a circle, "Whattaya think?"

"You look fantastic!" Miku clapped.

"Heheh, thanks. It took some shopping around at different stores, and a little custom stitching for the hoodie, but it came together quite nicely." Alex smiled.

"I'll say." She agreed, hugging him and kissing his cheek.

"We should be leaving soon." She said.

"What time is your limo supposed to be here?" Alex asked, checking the time on his phone with one arm around her.

"It should be out there already." Miku chuckled.

"Let's go then." Alex said with a smile.

As they pulled up to the studio, Miku got out first as Alex fixed his arm socks. They entered and went straight up to the level where her studio was at. They met Hiru when they entered, and the team all greeted Alex warmly.

They set up a small little stage and a microphone for him, then everyone took their seats and waited patiently. Alex switched his vest for a black shirt and black collared jacket.

"This is more nerve-wracking than a normal show." Alex chuckled a bit.

"You'll do great." Hiru said.

Miku and Hiru took their seats too. Alex went up onto the stage, and tested the mic. Some feedback went off, making him cringe. He tested it again, then nodded.

The instrumental to Acquainted started up. Alex popped and locked a little bit, then slid into the first verse. Miku grinned. It was the first time she'd gotten to see him perform.

As he hit the first chorus, he lifted his hand up, a focused loom in his eyes. When the beat hit, he rolled his body smoothly, making her "Ooh" softly.

He slid around a bit on his feet through the second verse, taking the mic off the stand and letting it fall. He rocked his shoulders, moonwalking in place a bit.

Starting into the second verse, he kicked the stand back up into place and put the mic back. The beat hit, and he rolled again, much further back this time.

Miku grinned, clasping her hands together as he went through the bridge.

He held the mic for the last chorus, breaking out into one last dance as he finished the song. The outro came, and he popped his chest once as the song came to a close.

Everyone, especially Miku, clapped for him. Alex smiled, huffing a bit.

"That was awesome!" Miku said to Hiru.

"Well done, Alex, just like back in Colorado." Hiru said to him.

"Very nice, Alex. If you don't mind, we'd like to discuss as a team." One of the sound managers said. Alex nodded, leaving the room with Miku and Hiru.

"That was great, Alex. Nice Vocaloid look by the way." Hiru said.

"Yeahhh." Alex chuckled, "Thanks guys."
