In a small Caffe Veloce in Sapporo, a young teal haired girl was sitting in front of her laptop, typing a short story (much like this one) while sipping on some imported English black tea.

Sighing in content, this girl was typing away on her latest fiction piece, about an American girl who lived with the struggle of depression. Unbeknownst to most, this girl was actually based on the writer herself, one Hatsune Miku. If one were to ask Miku how she felt, she'd never use the word "happy" to describe her current mood, content would be the furthest she'd ever go, and as far as she was concerned, it was all she really needed and deserved at this time.

All of Miku's stories had been centered around this single character as of late. 'I wonder if I should change things up a bit' she wondered. Her current chain of thought was interrupted by the ping! Of her email program, alerting her of a new subscriber to her writing profile that she published to. 'Well, I suppose it doesn't hurt to write a few more stories with her... I rather like her anyways.' Miku finished her chain of thought.

Gently shutting the lid of her laptop, she slid out of her chair and began to walk towards the counter to get another cup of tea. Miku, however was in for a surprise once she arrived at the counter.

At the counter stood a pink haired beauty, wearing a small, warming smile on her face.

"What can I help you with today?" The pinkette asked

"I-I uhm... Would like a-another cup of tea, if that's okay, t-that is" Miku stuttered out

The pinkette laughed, a gentle melody to Miku's ears "Of course, sweetheart. It's on me, I'll get it at once" With a wink, the pinkette turned around, and began scanning the shelf full of assorted teas

"Oh! I forgot what to ask what type you wanted..."

Now it was Miku's turn to laugh, "It's alright! I was trying an English tea for once... something Grey. It had a royal name to it... Duke Grey, King Grey, no those aren't right... uhm..." Miku began to shuffle her feet

"You're too cute, do you know that?" The pinkette asked "I think you mean Earl Grey, love" she said, as she grabbed a teabag out of a jar, and placed it in Miku's cup of water.

"Uhm... If you don't mind me asking, when did you start working here? I've never seen you before." Miku asked

"I started today... in fact, you were my first customer. I'm glad it was someone memorable; I'll never forget that cute face of yours!" The pink haired beauty exclaimed

"I'm not that cute..." Miku looked down at the floor

"Of course you are. Now it's my turn to ask... What's your name?" The pinkette asked

"Hatsune Miku... Most people address me as Miku, so I suppose I won't have a problem with you calling me that." Miku said

"Well I'm Megurine Luka, but I suppose if you're going to drop the formalities, I should too, huh? So go ahead and call me Luka- or Tako... which ever you prefer." Luka said

"T-Tako?!" Miku nearly shouted "Like an O-Octopus? Why would someone call you that?"

Luka giggled, "I think it's my hair, people think it's the color of an octopus or something. I don't even like Octopus, I like Tuna."

By now, there was a long line behind Miku, and an impatient businessman began shouting- "HURRY IT UP ALREADY!"

"Oops... looks like I need to take care of some other people now. I'll see you later!" Luka winked at Miku, and waved at the person behind her

"Y-yeah. See you later, Luka" Miku said quietly, slowly shuffling towards her seat in embarrassment

Once Miku reached her seat, she opened her laptop back up, and deleted the text document that was open. it was time for a new character in her life. And she knew just what to call her. Tako.

Well... that's the end of the first chapter of the first story I've typed in... Two years now. o.O Wow. Anyways, please shoot me a review, even if you didn't like it, so I can improve. Much appreciated! ^_^
