Author's Note: Hola peoples! Here is my first non-one-shot fanfic! *does little retarded dance* This is the sequel to Promise, but you don't have to read that first unless you want to. I wrote Promise after I started writing this so I decided to just make it like a back story. Enough of that pointless trivia. On with the story!

"I can't believe next week we're going to be high schoolers!" Hatsune Miku squealed as she took a bite of her pizza.

"Hopefully we will be in the same class," her best friend, Kagamine Rin, said as she sipped her soda.

Miku and Rin had known each other since the first day of junior high, but because they weren't in the same class and didn't see each other often they couldn't talk much. Thankfully, last year they were put in the same class and instantly became the friends "they were meant to be." One couldn't be seen without the other, and they did everything together; by summer they had officially become BFFs.

"I promise," Miku swallowed her pizza, "if we are not put in the same class I will personally break into the school and switch records around so that you and I can be together." The two were enjoying their last weekend together before school started so they were at the pizza parlor.

"Change my grades while you're at it," Rin giggled. She could imagine Miku in a spy outfit breaking into the school, only to hopelessly fail and get caught.

"I wouldn't screw up that badly," Miku said as if she could read Rin's mind.

"Stay out of my head you creeper," Rin shot back. Then changing the subject, "Perhaps we can officially start living our dreams, too."

Miku nodded. They both had dreams to be singers and had spent the whole last year composing songs for them to sing. Now that they had enough they could begin forming a band.

"I can play the keyboard," Miku said, "and you the guitar. Now all we need is a drummer."

Rin drummed her fingers on the table. "I don't suppose you happen to know one."

Miku shook her head. "I guess we'll have to make without until we can find one."

The girls sat in silence for a minute.

"Well~" Miku said as she stretched, "we can just practice any way and maybe a drummer angel will come from Heaven."

Rin laughed. "Like you to look on the bright side, but you're right. We'll get nowhere if we don't at least try."

Miku smiled and picked up her soda. "Here's to a new year and a chance at our future."

Rin clanked glasses. "Cheers!"

The first day of school went really well. Heck, it was amazing! Miku and Rin were in the same class for crying out loud!

Miku embraced Rin with a hug. "I get to have class with my BFF!"

"The teachers have no idea what's coming for them," Rin laughed. The girls usually weren't trouble makers, but when they caused mischief it was always amusing to watch. One time they were caught whispering to each other during class so the teacher had Miku sit to the very left of the classroom and Rin to the very right. Since they couldn't whisper anymore, they began shouting across the room to each other during class. They got into serious trouble, but it was worth it.

The girls even took a liking to their new uniforms. The shirts were buttonless, unlike the junior high uniforms, but were still white. They also had red neckties and dark blue skirts. Rin's skirt, no surprise, was below her knees and, thus, made her legs look short.

"Your kidding!" Rin said to Miku when she first tried on the uniform. "Do I have to pin up this skirt too?!"

"Just leave it to me," Miku said. Miku cut the ends of Rin's skirt so when Rin put it back on it when above her knees.

After school had ended, Miku and Rin decided to look around the empty halls. Both girls got excited when they found the music room.

"Look, Rin," Miku said, "there's a piano and a drum set in here. Since nobody's here you can bring your guitar and we can practice tomorrow."

"Why not now," Rin shrugged. "The first song we wrote together sounds beautiful on piano so maybe we can try singing that."

"Good idea!" Miku chirped. She opened up the piano and began playing. Her and Rin's voices mixed well together, and the melody of the piano added some more depth to their song.

At the end Miku said, "We don't need to practice that one, it's probably our best one." Rin agreed.

"Nice song." Both of the girls were startled. They turned around to see a girl with long, pink hair and baby blue eyes leaning on the doorframe and staring at them. "That was very beautiful."

"H-h-how long have you been standing there?" Rin managed to ask.

"The whole time," she said as she stood straight and walked over to them. "Did you write it?"

Miku nodded. "You see," she tried to explain, "Rin-Chan and I want to be singers so we wrote a list of songs and now we're trying to form a band."

"Really?" the girl's eyes widened. "I've been wanting to join a band for a long time but with my sudden transfer last year my friends and I couldn't pull through. I, too, have a list of songs I've composed."

"Amazing," Rin said.

"We need a drummer," Miku said. "Can you play?"

"Why don't I let you be the judge?" the girl said. She walked over and began beating drums. The rhythm was very catchy, and Miku and Rin couldn't stop tapping their toes. "What do you think?"

"I think you're perfect!" Rin exclaimed. "I'm Kagamine Rin, by the way."

"And I'm Hatsune Miku. We're first year students."

The girl stood up. "I'm Megurine Luka, a second year student."

The three girls had been practicing for about a month now. Miku and Rin got along with and really liked Luka. She was sweet, nice, and almost like a big sister to them.

"I think maybe we can try playing public," Luka said. "I work at a cafe that has a good reputation for allowing newly formed bands to play. I'll try to see if I can talk the manager into letting us play."

"Really?"Miku and Rin said in unision. Luka nodded. "You're the best, Luka-Nee!"

"But," she held up a finger, "we should probably get another guitarist. It might help with our sound."

"But where can we find a guitarist on such short notice?" Miku wondered aloud.

Rin suddenly burst. "I know! I can get my brother to help us out until we find one. He can play guitar as well as I can so it won't be too much trouble."

"That sounds good," Luka said.

"You know," Miku said as realization dawned on her, "I never once met your brother, Rin. Why's that?"

Rin shrugged. "We go to an all girls school and he goes to an all boys school. Plus my parents don't really like having anybody over."

"Hmm," Miku mumbled. Rin did have strict parents, but Miku still thought it was possible for her to have at least met somebody.

"Well," Luka picked up her bag, "I'll try talking to my manager while Rin-Chan talks her brother into helping us out. Bye."

"Bye-bye!" The girls said. Miku then faced Rin. "How could I not have met your brother? Shouldn't I, as your very best friend, at least meet your family?"

Rin cracked a grin. "Quit being dramatic. Anyway, my brother's on his way to pick me up so we could go on our family trip to the beach. You can meet him if you wait."

Miku looked at the time. "Sorry, can't. If I'm late again I'm going to be in serious trouble. But I don't think I can be blamed; cruel and unusual punishments, all those family meetings that don't tell me anything new. I really wish that I could just run away."

Rin gave her a sympathetic smile and place her hand on Miku's shoulder. "It's okay." Rin was the only person Miku could trust with her family issues. Miku's family life was . . . complicated, but because of it she was striving hard to be the best she could be.

Miku quietly looked down. She then shot her head up. "Give me your brother's number and tell him I'll be sending him a text tonight."

"Good idea," Rin said. She took out a pen and a sheet of paper and scribbled the number on it. "Here, I'll tell him that a pretty girl is going to randomly text him tonight." She winked, "I'm sure he'll be happy to hear that."

Miku smiled and hugged her friend. "See you Monday."

"See you Monday!"

As she left the music room, Miku put on her headphones and began playing music, becoming oblivious to the world around her.
