Author's Note: Hello, Dearies. *evil laugh* This is my Halloween special, a Vocaloid fanfic written for the scariest time of year. A real horror.

Or not. I actually wrote this back when I first became a Vocaloid fan and totally forgot about it. I found it a couple months back and - oh my Lord - it was the worst peice of literature I have ever had the unfortunate luck of reading! I did have a nice plot going so I rewrote it in this presentable form. It's also not scary. I'm not going to lie, I can't write horror to save my life.

"Halloween again," Hatsune Miku sighed. Sure, she loved dressing up, and it was fun trick-or-treating as a child, but she was sixteen now so her only option was to attend the parties that were thrown by her classmates. She didn't have any friends, not really, for she transferred to the school last year, and even in high school being the new kid sucked.

"Hey, Hatsune!" a nasally voice called.

Miku looked up. Standing before Miku was her classmate, Neru, a girl who just loved to pick on Miku. Miku never understood why Neru always picked on her, but she didn't let any of it get to her. "Can I help you?" was all Miku had said to the yellow haired girl.

"I just want to let you know there's going to be a party at my house this Holloween," Neru smirked with pride. How she enjoyed rubbing it in Miku's face that she was popular and Miku was not.

"And I'm guessing you're here to tell me that I'm not invited," Miku said, her voice monotone. Most of her classmates just ignored Miku, but Neru took the extra mile and tried to make Miku feel as miserable as humanly possible. Too bad for Neru Miku couldn't care less about what people thought of her. She's probably only looking for some kind of reaction Miku once decided.

"Actually, I wanted to make a bet with you," Neru said. "You know the forest just a couple miles from here? The dark and scary one?"

Looking bored, Miku replied, "Yeah. So?"

"Well rumor has it the forest is haunted," Neru said. "If you can last three hours in there then I'll let you come to my party and I'll admit to everyone that you aren't really that bad."

"And if I lose?" Miku knew she wasn't going to like the answer but she knew she had to ask.

"Let's just say a certain picture of a certain someone during summer break will be leaked onto the Internet," Neru said with a smirk that would make a demon jealous.

Miku shot up. "You mean the one . . ." She couldn't lead herself to finish her sentence.

"Yep!" Neru said. "I've been wanting to use it for a while, and what better way than forcing you to stay in the scariest place in the area?"

Miku burned with anger. "You're on!"

Of course what Miku didn't know was that Neru had no such picture and it was pure dumb luck that her guess of Miku doing something embarassing this past summer proved to be true. This was, Miku was certain, going to be one interesting Halloween.

"Miku-Chan, what were you thinking?" IA said to her blue haired friend. IA was Miku's only friend in the entire school, and they weren't even in the same class.

"I was thinking what a peice of cake this will be," Miku said cooly as she took a bite of French fry. "Nobody but you knows that I used to live here when I was little and played in the forest all the time."

IA shook her head. "But you obviously don't know what has been happening since you moved away. The forest isn't a safe place anymore. It is said that on every Halloween night, inside the forest, the souls without bodies will become as real as you or I!"

"Pfffttt!" Miku spat. "That is just a story somebody came up with to scare everyone. I'll show that girl and stay the whole night in there!"

"Miku-Chan," IA sighed.

Miku smiled. "Don't worry, IA-Chan What's the worst that can happen?"

Miku walked to the entrance of the forest, and all dressed up for Halloween too. She was an executioner fashioned in a knee length black dress, black boots, and black ribbons in her hair.

"All right, Hatsune," Neru, dressed as a sexy pink bunny, said, "here's the deal. My boys are patrolling all the exits so sneaking out is unlikely, but after three hours they'll leave so feel free to stay in there as long as you like." An evil smile spread across her face. "Maybe the monsters will kill you."

You would love that, wouldn't you? Miku thought. She knew Neru was just trying to scare her so she didn't let it bother her. Miku smirked. Maybe if I had brought my ax . . .

"What are you waiting for?" Neru asked, unaware of Miku's gory fantasy. "Get going."

So Miku entered the forest she walked in pretty deep. "This has changed since I played here last," she thought. She hadn't slept well the night before so she decided to pass the time by resting. Miku sat down, leaned against a tree, and closed her eyes.

When she had them opened moments later she noticed how dark it had gotten. I must have fallen asleep she thought. Suddenly, she heard a whisper of a voice.

"It's her!"

"Can't be," another quiet voice said.

"It's been a long time, changes like that are to be expected."

". . . Are you sure?"

"Quit being in denial! You're just as sure as I am."

"Who's there?!" Miku shouted. She got to her feet and ran towards the direction of the voices. She listened closely for more whispers but heard only nothing. You're going crazy, Miku she told herself. Nobody else is here but you.

"Are you lost, ma'am?"

Miku jumped ten feet in the air as she snapped her head to see who had spoken. In front of her was a girl who looked no more than twelve years old. The girl had shoulder length blonde hair and eyes whose color matched Miku's own. She wore a purple dress with pink and purple stockings and a pink bow on top of her head. Miku thought the girl was really cute.

"N-no," Miku gasped. She placed her hand on her heart and tried to laugh as she said "You really scared me. What's a little girl like you doing out here all alone?"

"I'm not alone," the child said in a sing-song voice. "My brother is here, too!"

"Oh," was all Miku could say. She didn't exactly understand what children were doing out here.

The girl grabbed Miku's hand and began pulling her. "Would you like to come to my house?" she asked as she kept tugging on Miku's hand. "We haven't had visitors in a really long time, and it would be so nice to have somebody to play with."

Miku could not find it in her to deny the little girl's request, but then again, what was she going to do until she could leave? "Okay," she chimed.

"YAY!" the girl squealed before trapping Miku in a tight hug. Letting go she said, "My name is Rin. What's your name?"

"Miku," Miku said cheerfully to the little girl while resisting the urge to pat her on the head.

The blonde laughed and as she reached out for, grabbed, and squeezed Miku's hand, "We're going to have so much fun together!"
