Thanks to avant-garde-history  for beta reading this.
-----------------------------------

It was still a few minutes before hitting August 31st.
All the Mikus from each Sekai were invited for a buffet in a Sekai different from theirs.

Now, you do not need to think about the origin of this place, just mind about enjoying this unusual union and the food.

"Hmm? Hmm? I think I'm gonna pile up my noodles with chicken and beef like this...! Yum yum★"
So jumped and excitedly piled dishes on top of her plate was the Wonderlands Miku.

"Hey? Don't jump around this much you'll hurt your stomach."
With concern, advised the Leo/Need Miku.

"Hmm, I wonder how Meiko would react to food manners like this..."
Thought the Vivid BAD Squad Miku who was right next to L/N Miku, peering.

The answer came from More more jump Miku.
"I think she'll just think it's fine because the other party's having fun!
Well, of course as long as it isn't too much though! *Giggles*"

I think you're correct.

In their own way, all the Mikus were having fun. From looking at their unique hairstyles, to wardrobe changes, talking about their Sekai members and taking a very good look at how different their personalities are- despite being introduced as "Hatsune Miku".
Even as they were picking more foods, they were getting along fine.

Except maybe one Miku.

Standing alone at a corner right before the hallway starts,
Faint grey whitish- purplish long curly hair, done in the signature twin tails that seemed to be a part which never changed no matter how different the incarnation is.

Heterochromia. Clothes as faded as her hairs.

This was the Empty Sekai Miku.

The meek Miku was startled by a light pat on her shoulders by the Host of the buffet.

"Oh! You don't need to be startled Niimiku (Niigo Miku). Are you not going to eat anything more than I have got for you?"

".............nt."

Niimiku muttered something very softly, but it was barely audible to anyone else.

"Hm? Sorry can you say once more?"

"..........want."

"What food?"

Niimiku nodded lightly. Taking her hand, the host led her to the places others were still hanging out.

Immediately, everyone else's eyes were on her.
Niimiku quivered very slightly.

"I recommend this salad here! And this one plain rice is pretty good too!"

Said the VBS Miku. Followed by many indirect recommendations by the other twin tailed girls.
They were trying to help the timid one after all.

With several attempts, her grasp being not firm the dish falling on to the floor and more, she finally managed to serve her plate with delicious looking foods.
There was one dish from the L/N Miku, one from MMJ Miku and one from the VBS Miku.

Once more they were seated.
WxS Miku ate so fast it was like she participated for a food eating competition.

MMJ Miku having a miniscule sweat running down from her forehead, thinking how much calories there was and if she became too fat if she ate like WxS Miku.

Within 2 and a half minutes, WxS Miku ran excitedly for another refill.

VBS Miku apprehensively shouted at her,

"What are you doing? You've just eaten! Ah, seriously."
The VBS Miku glanced at her back before continuing to eat her foods.
Though she didn't show it, she was concerned about the hyper Miku and the meek Miku- for opposite reasons.

The next Miku to join the hyper one was L/N.

It was time for getting some dessert items. The first thing that caught her eye was the apple pie. She wanted to take it for a certain someone.

"Hmm, hmm... I'm gonna pile this apple pie with the black forest pastry here and mix it with sushi here!~"

Apple pie and black forest can have a good affinity, but isn't sushi a little out of genre?

"It seems like everyone's enjoying themselves again fufufu......."

"....." Niimiku nodded, carefully moving to the dessert items and trying to select decent looking ones.

MMJ Miku took the most limited amount of sweets as she's an idol and don't want to deal with those excess calories.

And the others with similar, but varied types of desserts.
Niimiku was staring alternately between her "twins" and back on to her plate full of sweets.
She had an innocence like a small child, and the rest of her sisters couldn't help but "coo" out at the sight.

"Hmm~ The Black forest here is really yummy. Why did I only get one?"
VBS Miku swiftly went to get another one.

Wonder Miku followed suit.

"I need more black forest too~~!!"

Leo/need Miku simply shrugged,

"It's only ten minutes before our birthday too..."

"Just ten more minutes...." Niimiku softly repeated. Her eyes now shifted in the far front from their table, where a single guitar was leaning.

"Oh...? It's my guitar. I really like to sing and play alongside Ichika and the rest! Do you want to hear it? Let's do it after five minutes, okay?"

Niimiku nodded.

VBS Miku and WxS Miku had returned.
The other street stylish girl thought it'd be nice to have some more of the starter foods, so she got them on one side not mixing with the cake.
The eccentric Miku on the other hand...

"Introducing my all-brand-new super mega black forest cake with apple pie and cheesecakes decorated with noodles, beef steak and chicken! ♪★"

"....Not my fault." Miku fitted in street clothes gave out a rather defeated smile.

"Oh for Heaven's sake, why do you have so much ketchup dripping too?? I can't really see...it." MMJ Miku stared frantically while putting a weak hand over her belly.

"Hehe that's for more decoration! All this piling up looks really delicious, doesn't it?"

MMJ seems to have passed out for a hot second. L/N Miku patting on the other twin's back, laughing at the funny ordeal but still trying to comfort.

"More like my stomach hurts..." Street Miku managed to blurted out, wryly.

Niimiku surveyed the entire scene. She did not understand why everyone was reacting to the other wild sister's food preference like that, but she did feel something like a stomach churn when seeing the contents that had been mixed so obscenely, the girl wondered why.

Also, maybe at the influence of how close the girls already seemed to be, Niimiku quietly motioned VBS Miku in what probably meant that she wanted her to share some of the crispy foods along with the sauce and ketchup too.

"Ah...there you are. I'm already full so if you want you can take all of them. Hehe." The Miku who seemed a tad bit more intimidating than the rest to our fragile one, giggled and smiled as if she waited for this.

"Ooh...tomato ketchup so red..." Niimiku grasped one crispy wonthon close to her eye-level, seeing in wonder.

"Isn't it? Isn't it? Hey, would you like to taste a portion of my super duper recipe...!?" The excited one jumped up.

"Ah- Niimiku will probably get full from what RAD Miku gave her so I think she'll say no.
Miku, shake your head and say no!" MMJ Miku cautiously said.
The last part was whispered but our meek Miku caught on to it.

"It's tasty so you should eat it nicely...a little quickly just like how you usually eat..." VBS and L/N Miku drooped their shoulders.

"It's okay, please ignore it with your eyes and continue your feast....oh yes. There's not much time left for our birthday..." The host brought the attention on her.

Just at the announcement, everyone somehow straightened up themselves.
I think Wonderlands Miku might've not liked her own original recipe that much and only now sped up the munching.
Until now they were just playing around, but now one by one the other sisters politely finished their food and drinks.
The waiters carried them away.

Even Niimiku herself thought that she may have gotten a little serious too now.

Uhm no, maybe serious isn't the correct word. It's probably just a brief silence, to mark yet another year as the legendary songstress she is- they are. To help musicians and singers find their true feelings and let it out into this medium we call melodies, songs.
It's taking in the glory and dignity of that all.

As they fixed their positions, they waited for the countdown.

August 31st in 10.....9.....8.....7.....6....................3, 2, 1.

In queue, all of a sudden bunch of extravagant fireworks and festoons exploded overhead. This is the specific, modified kind that doesn't hurt a person even from up close. So they all could be showered within this moment of celebration.

"Uwah! Happy Birthday everyone!"
Cheered VBS Miku.

"Happy Bday!!" MMJ Miku answered, then the rest.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY CONGRATULATIONS!! HAHAHA!"

"Happy birthday, everyone! We're all enjoying ourselves, aren't we?"
L/N Miku smiled.

Niimiku didn't want to oversee these conversations from the shadows anymore. She's still shy, but inside heart she knows it's her celebration too. That's why even if the ribs feel cold, she'd give out a warm smile opposing it.

"Happy birthday... everyone."

"Hehehe, glad to finally see you take a step up Niimiku.
I hope you all enjoyed having this once-in-a-while meeting! I'll be overjoyed to know you liked this exclusive buffet too. And don't forget...today was just the prelude.
Tomorrow is when we have the real show!♪" The Host cheered energetically, leading to a conclusion speech.

"Yes! Let's sing and celebrate together with Rin, Len, Luka, Kaito and Meiko! Also don't forget to celebrate with our Sekai friends too!" The L/N Miku chirped.

It was the final minutes of today's get-together, as promised L/N Miku tuned her guitar and played a song for Niimiku, but everyone else of course got their share as well!
As sad it might be part ways for now, all of them are still reminded that their big birthday is all day tomorrow, and that the party's nowhere near to end.
Not with having fun friends to continually improve music with.

"Fufu, bye for today but don't forget to transport to the fragme- I mean Sekai tomorrow! Look forward to a lot of surprises and let's have a lot of fun then~!" The Host waved her hands as her long teal twin tails swayed in the breeze.

The other twin tailed divas said their partings one by one, exiting the buffet with the Host.
Before a rocky haired Miku stopped by on her way, making the others curious.

"Oh! It's my acoustic guitar! I totally forgot to bring it back with me. Wait a sec, I'll be here."
L/N Miku swiftly made a detour close to their seat again.

What she saw reaching the destination, struck her speechless.

On the cold, hard floor yellow hair strands stuck out. Spiky, covered in an unnatural red substance---
The white clothes and the yellow collar seems to have been affected by this abnormal smearing of red too----

No way.
Suddenly a chilling shiver ran down on L/N Miku's spine. The dots in her hazy mind was starting to connect a little.

"......Len....?" It was barely a word.

Then, with the utmost terror and doubt her eyes slowly moved upwards to focus on the standing person, just near the...the what?

And her mind went even fuzzier, voice quivering even more,

".........Rin...?"
