Rin sat outside the wind playing with her short blonde hair and she swung her legs slowly and gently the wind picking up a bit and with the wind came dark clouds. She sighed stretching her arms up shivering as the wind picked up seeming to get a bit colder even for summer. Just as she considered going inside her mother came out and she looked up at her. Her mother was very beautiful, she had long blonde hair that she wore pulled back in a pony tail with bright vivid blue eyes, a sweet smile and pale skin that reminded Rin faintly of the color ivory in a strange way but straight to it her mother was incredibly beautiful. She wished she could be just as beautiful as her mother but how could she when she was only about thirteen and flat chested, loud, obnoxious according to some girls who picked on her and wasn't good at domestic duties, she didn't have the sweet voice her mother had and it made her feel like she was never going to be a good wife to anyone, she hated to feel that way but what if it was true? She'd just have to accept it now it'd only bring heartbreak later on, but she was strong! She had a good head on her shoulders like her mother always said.
"Rin I want you to come in soon, its going to start raining very shortly, there's also going to be thunderstrorms today. Oh by the way IA stopped by today." Her mother continues and she snaps her head up to stare at her mother.
"When? When did IA come by?" She asks nearly snapping out the questions, which if anyone heard would think is typical Rin nature, but this time it sounded much sharper and more cutting than ever before.
"Earlier, when you and Len were out at the park together."
"Damn! Ever since she moved here and we started hanging out its like lately we've been having different schedules, I wanted her to sleep over!"
"Well I could call her mother and ask, see if she would like to come over to have a little sleep over with you before it rains. Would you like that?"
"Yes! Oh my god Mom I would love you forever if you did that!" Rin all but shouts jumping up her hands clasping together at her chest level her blue eyes bright and shining, total Rin behavior and her mother smiled brightly.
"That's my girl. I'll go call now since it might rain at any minute." She says and with that turned and walked into the house leaving Rin alone again until Len walked up covered in dirt and she purposely wrinkled her nose at him.
"Your absolutely filthy Len."
"Oh wow I never noticed!" He replies back sarcastically before sighing gently as he quickly took in Rin's hurt look and sat on the porch steps. "I'm sorry Rin, I didn't mean to sound so well. . mean! I just felt upset earlier cause Miku would barely talk to me today and was talking with just Kaito today."
"I'm sorry." She whispers softly standing up walking over and sat down next to him her white dress rested daintily and lightly at her knee level. She knew that Len truly loved Miku, even being thirteen years old, she could tell how much he loved her. She just wished her best friend would notice his feelings soon before he got his heart broken. "I'm going to talk to her!" Rin says suddenly jumping up making Len jump slightly.
"N-No Rin its fine!" He says quickly his blue eyes wide with shock as he realized what his sister meant.
"Trust me Len, as your twin, I promise you'll have Miku all to yourself before you know it!" She says smiling brightly.
"But Rin-"
"Do you love Miku or don't you?" She asks pointedly her hands turning to fists and she placed them on her hips as she narrowed her eyes at him her face seeming grumpy almost.
"Yes I do." He says just as quick as before with no hesitation.
"Then you gotta tell her!"
"I can't Rin its not that simple!"
"It so is! Trust me brother dear you'll thank me when she knows your feelings!" Rin says winking at her brother and laughed loudly, it sounded like bells and he smiled gently.
"Come on then crazy, lets go get ready, IA is coming over isn't she?"
"Yes! I almost forgot!" She says looking around just as she saw IA turning the corner and she felt a rising panic. "I gotta go clean my room!" She shouts turning and running inside and through the screen door, her feet slapping against the tiled floors as she rushed upstairs and tripped up the stairs yelling out loudly. IA and Len turned in unison pausing in their conversation hearing the loud cry of Rin before IA giggles softly.
"What is it?" Len asks tilting his head smiling gently at her.
"Rin is just so. . . "IA says smiling softly her blue eyes sparkling softly.
"Rin?" Len asks helpfully smiling.
"Yes." She says laughing out and then pointed to the door. "Can I go in?"
"Oh yeah! Sure you can, Rin's just cleaning up her room is all you might have to wait with our Mom for a little while though."
"Oh I don't mind in the slightest bit, I love your Mom." IA says smiling then walked up the porch playing with the ends of her black dress gently and walked inside adjusting her high, thigh length black socks/tights.
"Well hello IA! You look very pretty today!" Len and Rin's mother, Ash, says smiling brightly.
"Thank you, ."
"Oh your welcome honey." She replies smiling brightly and she reminded IA faintly of an older version of what Rin could be. "Rin is right upstairs. Her room is just straight down the hall you can go right in."
"Alright, thank you!" IA says thankfully then turns taking her shoes off.
She pads down the hall her hair bouncing faintly against her lower back as she smiles gently hearing Rin crying out as she struggles with something and she shakes her head. She'd known Rin close to half a year now and she already knew what to expect. She opened the door to see a half cleaned room and she smiled seeing Rin struggling to put something away and she chuckle which made Rin snap her head in her direction and she blushed self consciously. Even hanging out with Rin all this time she was still self conscious about certain things but it was when smiled brightly at her that she couldn't help smiling back at the blonde. She loved Rin, she was the best friend she had never truly had before, she was so happy that she was moved here to be closer to the other Vocaloids.
She was more shy, more reserved around them but with Rin she could relax,unwind and laugh at just about anything with that hyper ball blonde. She and Rin instantly connected when she first moved here, it had been like a little twinge of. . . something that pulled them together and thinking of it now IA truly didn't know why she got so close and so used to Rin so fast but she was deeply happy she was so close to her. She sat on Rin's yellow blanketed bed and smiled as she watched the girl rush to put everything away, it was something she just loved about Rin, that she was so hyper, so eager to impress in her little hyper way. She hadn't realized she got lost in her thoughts when Rin was looking at her concernedly.
"I'm sorry what did you say?" She says shaking her head slightly and smiles lightly.
"I saaaid, are you ready for the sleep over?" Rin says drawing out on of the words gently.
"Oh yeah I'm ready! What're we going to do?"
"Well we could watch movies, or eat some food or just stay in here and get ready for a long night. Which sounds good to you?"
"Hmm. . . All of it!"
"Really?!" Rin says with a surprised tone her blue eyes widening gently.
"Yes really!"
"You've never been to a sleep over have you?"
"No not really, your actually the first person to even invite me to sleep over since I've moved here."
"You should branch out IA, that's why not a lot of people are inviting you to things they just think you don't want anything to do with them is al."
"I know but still its hard to branch out Rin, I'm not like you, I'm not a social butterfly. Its like I'm still within my cuccoon, not ready to take that step quite yet, if you know what I mean."
"I know what ya mean IA, I mean if they just saw how sweet, how nice you are then they would understand you the way I do."
"I know."
"Promise me something?"
"What?"
"Promise me you'll start reaching out more? And that we'll always be best friends?"
"I promise Rin,I'll never break nor forget about this promise if you won't."
"I won't I promise."
"Your the best friend I've always wanted Rin, your so sweet and nice, I'm truly glad that I met you."
"I'm glad I met you to IA, I feel like you've always been my friend and I love it."
"Rin?"
"Yes?"
"Can we go start on that tiny little list you made for the sleepover?" IA asks a bit hesitantly even as her lips curled into a smile and Rin returned it with a grin.
"But of course my dear darling IA. Let us go on the adventure of sleep over land and start our quests!" Rin says with a fake British accent which made IA laugh out loudly.
"My god Rin that's such a horrible accent!"
"Is it?"
"Yes, its good if you work out somethings but other than that you could use it for a torture use!" IA says in between laughs.
"Hmm torture you say?" Rin says smirking evilly and laughed loudly with IA their laughter mingling in together gently. She swore at that moment she'd never been more happier or more thankful she met Rin that she did at that moment.
