Chapter Text
Note: I did not finish all the event story yet so I'm just writing this with as much knowledge I have about the character and the sekai. Keep that in mind. Also " " is for dialogue while ' ' is for monologue.
It's a normal evening at Tenma's household. Tsukasa just finished with WxS practice and chilling on the couch in the living room after done taking a bath while Saki is in her room trying to brainstorm idea for a new song to surprise her band mates.
"Ahhh~~, it's not going well at all." Saki let out a long sigh after seemingly hitting a wall in her songwriting. "I got a rough idea on how the melody going to be but I don't seem to find any lyrics that could go well with it, not to mention the tempo is a mess as well. Usually, I ask Icchan to help me with this but it wouldn't be much as surprise if I ask."
After almost 15 minutes trying to get any idea to stick, Saki get a brilliant idea."Wait, Onii-chan is in theatre show right and didn't they also do some musical? Maybe he can help me with my song writing." and with that, she's storm out of the room to find her brother.
She's knocked on her brother's room but with no answer and figured he must be at the living room. She rushed downstairs and sees the very familiar orange hair. "Onii-chan!! Onii-chan!! " she called out and "Oh, Saki." he answered.
"What's the matter? Why are you running like you've seen a ghost?“
"Hey, Onii-chan. You also do some musical in your show, right?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Then, can you help me with my new song? I just seems to not get any good idea for this."
"Well, making song is not my forte. Usually, I leave song making to Nene and Rui but let see what I can help."
"Yeay!"
And thus an agreement has been settled between the two siblings.
Some minutes has passed, Tsukasa asked "You said you have made some melody for the song, can I hear it? It may help me came up with some idea."
"Oh, let me search for it." and Saki open up her phone to search for the melody she has recorded in her music gallery. While scrolling, Tsukasa's eyes caught something that he is all too familiar seeing. The song [Untitled] appear for only a second but that is enough to caught Tsukasa attention. "Wait, Saki also have untitled too?"
Those words isn't supposed to be heard by Saki but since they are practically sitting next to each other, She overheard it. The moment she realised that, She quickly blurted out "Umm, no... That's... Umm... My failed melody that I recorded. Um, yeah." in very panicky voice. "Well, they maybe a failed recording of a song but it doesn't mean that it can be used for another song." trying to cover up everything.
Then one word stood out for Saki in Tsukasa's sentence '(too?) Does that mean he also knows about the sekai?' a thought that came to Saki's mind but with her brother besides her, she's quickly close that thought and found the recording that she's looking for.
After an hour of those two discussing ideas with each other. A voice called out to them. "Tsukasa, can you come here for a bit?" it was their mom calling Tsukasa for something. "Alright, mom." Tsukasa answered as he walk toward where the voice coming from. As he leaves, Saki is left alone in the living room. Then, the thought that Saki have for a second earlier comes back. "Did Onii-chan really have his own sekai?" said Saki making sure that no one heard her. As she contiplating that thought, she sees Tsukasa's phone is unlocked on the table. 'He must have forgot to close his phone before he goes to mom. Wait a minute, that means I can checked whether he really has his own sekai.'.
And with that thought, She's quickly take her brother's phone to search his music gallery and lo and behold, She's found what she's looking for. The song [Untitled]. 'So it's true that Onii-chan really has his own sekai' Saki thought but there's also another train of thought that came 'Or is it the school sekai since I'm the one who search it?'.
'There is no way that Onii-chan also has a sekai, right? It is not something that everyone has, right?' There's a lot of doubt in Saki's mind about this but there's also a lot of curiosity just to know that whether her brother really has a sekai of his own and at the end, the curiosity wins and 'Well, there's no harm in trying so here I go.' as she was clicking the untitled song.
"Huh, She's gone? Well, I hope she's got some inspiration for her song." said Tsukasa thinking that Saki has gone back to her room not knowing that her sister will be going on a bizarre adventure in another world called the Wonderland Sekai.
"WAAAAHHH~ *dud* Ouch~." the sound of Saki after falling a few feet from the air into a hard concrete in a foreign land to her. "I never got that kind of landing in the sekai before but WAA-" her speech was cut of when she realised where she was. It was almost a complete 180 compare to the nice and quiet school sekai. This place is loud with music blaring in the background and the cheer of it's inhabitants also how chaotic it is with attraction that can work without a ounce of common sense as far as her eye can see. That's when she realises that she really is in an another sekai, the Wonderland sekai.
"So this is Onii-chan sekai, Wow! It looks like Phoenix Wonderland." Saki being in complete amazement with her surrounding. "Woah, that roller-coaster is trailing on a magical trail that appears by it self." as she saw the roller-coaster that passed by directly above her head and as she's looking up, she saw a plushie that almost feels like flying in the air. She's looked down and saw her favourite attraction. "Look, a giant trampoline dome." when she found that, she's immediately run towards it to try it out. She jumps into the trampoline while underestimating the nonsensical power of this sekai and she's flew almost 5 meter into the air. "WWWWAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!" she's screamed on top of her lung almost making sure everything in 100 meter radius heard her clearly.
After that terrifying experience, Saki sat on a nearby bench still trying to gather her thoughts and life together. Then, a few plushie came after hearing the scream that rivaling his own brother's voice. "Are you okay?" says the plushie. "WAH, THE PLUSHIE ACTUALLY TALK!? " to the shock of Saki. And a few seconds after that, a shade starts to covering Saki but it wasn't the cloud that covering the sun but a whole tree branch moves on it's own to provide Saki with the shade. "AHH, THE TREE MOVES!? " shock times 2 for poor Saki here.
She stood up and ran away from the plushie and the tree seemingly still failing to comprehend what just happened. From what a seemingly fun theme park has turned into one of a kind life experience for her. "What is wrong with this place? Everything that happened here is like out of every common sense." the conclusion she got from what she experienced which is not far off at all.
After gathering some comprehension about the situation she's in, She heard some noise come from the building that looks like a building for a stage. "Is there a show about to start? Well this is Onii-chan's sekai after all so it shouldn't be weird if there's show here all the time. How about I check it out?" as she walked toward the building.
Once she's inside the building, she was greeted with a stage that almost twice as big as the phoenix stage (the biggest stage on Phoenix Wonderland). "Woah!" the word that came out of Saki's mouth while she looks at the stage in awe. Then, the lights goes out signaling the shows is about to commence. Saki quickly sat down on the nearest seat to her (which is pretty far back). A single spotlight lit up and shining on a figure on stage. A figure that Saki very familiar with, in fact, too familiar with by a normal person standard. The iconic twin tail but with a light blue color instead of the usual cyan with an addition of cat's ear and an ahoge plus the circus attire reminds Saki that even though It's the same person, It's not the same individuality.
"Hello everyone!! Thank you for coming to our show! I'm Hatsune Miku! I hope today's show gonna make all of you smile!" said the figure on the stage and thus the show started and one by one, each of the Virtual Singer appeared on stage introducing themselves as the character they're role playing in the show. Saki watches the show intently like watching her close friends doing a live at the live house. "This really is Onii-chan's sekai. I got the same feeling watching this show as that time I went to watch Onii-chan's show at the wonder stage with everyone (twilight parade event). I wonder how often Onii-chan came here for practice." muttered Saki.
"Well everyone, that's the end of our show today. Thank you everyone for watching. See you again~. " the curtains fall signaling the end of today's show. Saki gets up from her seat and leave the auditorium. "Well, that was something but it looks like it's time for me to head back." seemingly satisfied yet still dumbfounded by her experience today but there's something that bug her. "Whose there? Show yourself." after she's been hearing mechanical footsteps approaching her ever since she leaves the auditorium. The mechanical footsteps pick up the pace after it knows it has been discovered. Saki turned around and was greeted with "It's Mikudayo." "AAAARGH!! WH-WHAT ON EARTH!?" She shouted with pretty much the exact same line as her brother before her.
Fortunately or unfortunately, her voice not only reach nearby plushie but also reached a certain light blue, twin tail figure. Miku turns around after hearing that voice and recognised the hair color of a person. "Ah! Tsukasa-kun is here!" as she runs to greet who she's assume is Tsukasa. "Tsukasa-kun! Tsukasa-kun!" she called to Saki who turns around towards the voice. "Miku-chan?" Saki replied who almost clueless on how to address her. "Hey, Tsukasa-kun or not?" after she got a closer look at Saki and realised that it wasn't actually Tsukasa.
"Wait up, Miku. Where are you run off to?" Kaito arrived after chasing Miku who runs off at full speed towards Saki's direction. "Hey Kaito-kun, is it just me or Tsukasa-kun become a girl?" Miku asked Kaito after failing to comprehend that the person in front of her isn't Tsukasa. "As far as I know, a person can't completely change their gender in less than half a day. So, may I ask you, miss? What is your name?" Kaito replied to Miku question and ask a question to Saki. "Umm, My name is Saki Tenma." Saki answered. "Saki Tenma? Ah, you are Tsukasa-kun little sister that he talk so much about." says Miku with excitement in her eyes
"Hey, are you really Tsukasa-kun little sister? Are you also joining as a troupe member? Or are you here to see our show?" the blue haired girl keeps bombarding Saki with questions to the point where she is clueless on how to answer. The sparkles in Miku's eyes were bigger than ever to show the excitement she feels. "Miku, don't just keep asking that many questions. Look, she's doesn't even know which one to answer." Kaito says to Miku to calm her down. "Now then, it's might be a bit late but welcome to the sekai. But I need to ask, how are you here? Usually, the one who manages to come are accompanied by one of the troupe member because only those who shares a similar feeling to everyone can enter here." this time the question is from Kaito.
"Umm, I just tap play a song called [Untitled] on Onii-chan's phone and somehow got transported here."answered Saki while trying to hide the fact that she has her own sekai. 'I don't think revealing the other sekai would be a good idea here.'.
"That means you manages to come here because you have similar feeling with Tsukasa-kun and the rest of the troupe member."
"Huh?"
"The feeling of wanting to give smiles and happiness to everyone!" this time, Miku is the one who answered Saki's confusion.
"Wait a minute, I have those feeling? But I-" as Saki finishing her rebuttal, a thought came into her mind. 'Wait, is it because I tried to suprise everyone with a new song? Meaning the feeling of wanting to give smiles and happiness is... Just the feeling of me wanting everyone in Leo/need to be happy with the song.'. "Ah, I see." the words that came out of Saki's mouth after she come to the realisation of her own feeling.
"But I already have a band that I want to perform with and my feelings of wanting to gives happiness isn't as grand as wanting everyone to be happy. My feelings are only for my friends tho." Said Saki. "Oh, don't worry about that. Shows isn't the only way you can spread happiness. You can also spread happiness with the music you play and also even Tsukasa-kun's feeling started with only wanting to see one person smiles. And now, I got to see the person that started Tsukasa-kun's feelings."
Said Miku reassured Saki.
"Onii-chan says that?!" to the shock of Saki.
"Yes, and he also said that you are not in a good health during your childhood so he would do a show to cheer you up." Miku explains.
"He would do a lot of shows when I was hospitalised and the reason why he was so fixated on getting a work at Phoenix Wonderland is-"
"Yes, to see you smile the brightest the next time you came to the theme park."
The words that came out of Miku's mouth shook Saki's emotion to the point she's almost burst to tears. She feels grateful that she has the most caring and loving big brother in the world but at the same time guilty because she causes so much trouble to him to the point where this whole sekai is born because of Tsukasa's feeling of wanting his little sister to smile and forget the hardships that she goes through during her childhood.
"Ding-Dong~" the bell from the nearby clock tower ring to signal a change of hour. Saki while still have some tears running down her cheeks, notices the ring and looks at the clock tower and the time was 8pm. "It's all ready this late, huh." muttered Saki. "Well, looks like this will be our goodbye for today." said Saki. "Huh? You're leaving already? But I still many questions I want to ask." said Miku who still wants to continue their conversation. "Miku, let her go home. She has school tomorrow so she needs to rest." Kaito calming Miku down. "And to Saki-chan, you are welcome to come back here anytime you want. After all, this theme park is made for everyone." Kaito continues to reassure Saki.
"Oh, and 1 final thing. Can you keep this a secret to Onii-chan? I don't want to make him worry." requested by Saki knowing full well that her brother will not take it lightly if he knows she's here. "Don't worry, our mouth are sealed." final assurance by Kaito to Saki. "Bye-bye~ and till we meet again!" Final goodbye from Miku before Saki take out her phone's and stop [Untitled] from playing.
And with that, Saki is back to the real world in her living room. Looks like no one in the living room anymore. She looks at her phone one last time after an almost dreamlike world she's gone through and see that there's 2 [Untitled] songs in her phone now with the name [Untitled School] and [Untitled Wonderland] next to each other. "Looks like it wasn't a dream after all."
Remembering her experience, She goes upstairs and standing in front of her brother's room, She give a knock on the door. "*Knock, Knock*", "Come in." is heard from across the door. "Saki?" questioned Tsukasa after the one who opened his door is Saki. He immediately stand up from his chair after realising what looks like a mark from tear running down on her sister's face. "Saki, what happened to you?" said Tsukasa with concern tone.
Without saying a single word, Saki goes right up to Tsukasa and hug him tightly. "Saki?!" to the shock of Tsukasa with Saki's action. Both of them did not say a single word after that for almost 30 seconds before Tsukasa break the ice. "Saki, mind telling me what happened?" this time with the soft tone trying to reassure her little sister that he will always be there for her.
"I'm sorry, I'm very sorry. I've caused you a lot of trouble and you're always there for me to make me smile but I could do nothing to pay it back. I'm really is the worst little sister anyone could ask." Saki broke down to tears while still in her brother's chest. After all, she has learned the truth about her brother's feeling after all these years on what she thinks was entirely her fault. She continues to break down for sometime after that.
If Tsukasa isn't confused about Saki before, He sure as hell now. His immediate thought is 'What happened here? I'm sure I didn't do anything wrong. I mean, when we are at the living room, she was still smiling like she always does. What happened in her room to the point she gets like this?'. Tsukasa pondered for a second before realising a bigger problem at hand, how the hell is he going to calm Saki down.
After another 30 seconds or so, in a desperate attempt to try calming his sister down, Tsukasa grabbed his little sister's shoulder which make her release her hug on Tsukasa. Tsukasa then guided Saki to sit down on his bed. Saki has stopped crying for a bit so He thought this is probably the best time to ask her. "So, can you tell me what's make you cry like this?" Tsukasa asked in a soft tone so that he can get a clearer picture of it.
Saki while still having some tears coming out of her eyes, wipe her tears and began explaining to Tsukasa on what happened. While her sentences was interrupted with occasional sobbing, she explained to Tsukasa about everything she learnt about her brother's feeling and that she is the cause of it. The guilt she feels and what she feels like she isn't doing enough to pay his kindness back. The only details that she left out are the fact that she manages to invade her brother's Sekai and that Hatsune Miku of all being is the one who tell her about it.
Tsukasa is shocked upon hearing the words that came out of Saki's mouth and what's worse is that everything about his feelings is true. In fact, if he gets the option to trade places with his sister so that she is the one who can live freely, he would take that in a heartbeat. But never in his life did he think of making his sister guilty over his action. He just want his sister to be happy after all.
After processing the explanation that Saki give to him, Tsukasa pulled Saki closer to him and hugs her. "I'm sorry that I make you feel this way. Indeed, I always do everything to try lessen your burden but truth to be told, if I needed to do more than that to make you free from your hardship and live a normal life, I would do it a million times over. Because you are my one and only little sister in the world." Said Tsukasa trying to reassure her little sister.
Tsukasa pulled away from her while his hand is still on Saki's shoulder. "So, you don't need to be guilty or indebted to me. The fact that you're here as energetic and happy as you are is already the biggest payment I can ask for. So please, just keep being who you are." Tsukasa said it while maintaining eye contact with Saki as a final statement from him that whatever happens, he will be there for her to rely on.
Those two continue with some small talk after that before Saki eventually left the room and leaving her brother alone. After she left and closed the door behind, Tsukasa lie down on his bed and contemplating the conversation he had with her. All of sudden, *BAM* a fist came down and hit the bed which seemingly to try and release some frustration with it. "All I'm trying to do is to make her happy but I'm always the one who ended up making her cry. I'm really am the worst of the worst." mumbled Tsukasa on his own.
He knows that he's not the one who at fault here because those tears are not cause by sadness but rather from gratefulness of his sister. But no matter the intention of those tears, he still hated it. He hates to see her sister cry. He hated it since he was little because he knows much hardship she has gone through. He especially hates it because he is the one who makes her cry. But still, at the end of the day, He's the one who makes those tears fall on his cute little sister's face.
One other question that ran through his mind is who tell her all of this. Since Saki never specify about the Sekai nor Hatsune Miku is the one who tell her that, It left him wondering about it. In his head, he go through a list of names that could tell her about it. Rui and Nene are pretty much out of the question because she never that close with them. Her Leo/need band mates is also out of the question because how would they know all of this. After going through the list of names, He ended up with 2 names that seems plausible, Emu and Toya. (Of course he never even think about the Virtual Singer)
The least plausible of the 2 is Emu. While yes, Emu is close to Saki but he don't think that Emu would just drop those information out of nowhere and in incredible amount of detail at that. Emu don't seem the type of people who spill others secret especially when those secrets could lead to other people to discover their Sekai of all things.
So this leave Toya as the most plausible one. The three of them are childhood friends so he probably knew about his feeling better than most people and Toya is also the composer for his own music group so Saki might have contacted Toya to help with her song which then lead to his secret leaks out. Also, Toya doesn't know about the Sekai so there's no harm for him to tell her that.
Everything seems to fit into place so well that he wants to immediately contact Toya to ask him about it but it's already night so he feared that he might disturb him. "I meet him at school tomorrow anyway so I can just ask him tomorrow without needing to disturb him now." Tsukasa mumbled to himself.
"Well then, instead of dreading this situation, why not plan something to cheer her back up. After all, giving smile is a speciality of me, A World Future Star, HA HA HA! Just you wait, I'm going to make something that will make you have the biggest smile in your life. This is my declaration as PEGASUS TENMA!". Who knows what Tsukasa is planning to do but knowing him, this is probably the biggest show that will ever grace Phoenix Wonderland. Maybe even more than the Tondemo Wonderz show.
