Wings (Book #2 of Vocaloid Actors Trilogy)

Prologue

I am Mia, the Vocaloid Actor for Meiko and Sakine Meiko. I lay back on my bed, remembering all the events from the past year, particularly since Maryann's tenth anniversary.

First of all, I met Kevin properly for the first time in person (not counting the time when all of the main Vocaloid Actors teamed up to retrieve our bands). Me and Rachel spun a story of going shopping together for the day, I didn't want my parents to become suspicious. We actually got on a train to Kendal, using the directions he Mind-Messaged us.

I remember pausing outside his flat, hands shaking as I went to knock on the door. My cheeks were reddening. Rachel got fed up of waiting for me to pluck up the courage to knock, and did it for me.

"Rachel!" I had said, my cheeks now flaming.

"Well, it was faster than waiting for you!" she retorted.

I opened my mouth for argue back, except the door opened revealing a certain blue-haired male on the other side. I just then realised this was the first time I saw Kevin when he wasn't in Vocaloid Form.

He was dressed in a white loose fit t-shirt and light-blue ripped jeans. I had decided to dress up a little for the occasion. I wore a pale pink skirt and a white jumper. I wore pink pumps. Rachel helped me with my hair and it now hung in schoolgirl plaits on each side of my head, hanging over my shoulders.

"Hey, Mia!" he said, a light blush on his cheeks, compared to my tomatoes of cheeks. "I'd invited my sisters over today, hope you don't mind!"

"No, not at all!" I said back. To be honest, I wanted to meet his sisters from the very start. At this point, two little girls of eight and five peeked around his legs. They had similar brown hair to me, but the same dark blue eyes as their brother.

"Are you the girlfriend brother has been talking about?" the five-year-old asked Rachel, in the cutest voice ever.

"No, no, that would be Mia," she said back, and she pointed to me. I bent down on my knees so I was eye-level with her.

"You must be Katie," I said and she slowly comes out from behind Kevin's legs. "Kevin's told me all about you. I heard you love princesses!" I secretly conjure a princess doll from behind my back and give it to Katie, winking to Kevin, who understood what I had done. Katie squeals with delight.

I turn to Kayla who is looking hopeful. "And you must be Kayla! My, don't you look grown-up," I said, having noted the minimal make-up on her face. She smiles at me. "I heard you like drawing," I said, and produced a sketchpad and a small pack of felt-tips. She takes them and clutches them to her chest, happy as pie.

"We love her, Kevin!" they say in unison as they got to use their new gifts. He smirked at me, but with one eyebrow rose.

"Mind letting me keep my sisters," he said jokingly.

I poke my tongue out at him, to the amusement of his sisters, who giggled. I then said "I had no little sister when I was younger, so I thought I would treat these two."

He shrugged and invited me inside. The living-room was the same as I remember, except there was black scribble on the walls.

"Kayla! I told you not to draw on the walls!" he said, slightly exasperated.

"I just wanted to see you do that magic trick of making it disappear," she said back.

I rose my eyebrows at Kevin. He Mind-Messaged me:

Kevin: 'Yes, I do magic in front of them, but they're little. I'll stop when they start high-school.'

I shrugged my shoulders at him, as a response. He smiled before he got onto his knees. He held his hand in front of him, and it glows slightly. He moves his hand over the walls, gently murmuring 'Tergeo' under his breath. The ink disappears, much to the amazement of his sisters.
