Title: Carrying out the Plan

Summary: Mikan whispered, "We'll continue the plan tonight." Mikan, Koko, and Hotaru were sitting in a circle with only the dim light to see each other. Rewrite of my story "Carrying out the Plan." Yes, I know the title is still the same. Rated T.

A/N: I value every single one of the audience's opinions, flames, and criticism. Please do not hesitate to not turn everything sugar-coated when you believe my story is bad. I have changed my username from Twinklejade-chan to XxX-Miki-chan-XxX. Also, I have to warn you guys. I'm the type of person who makes things on the go, I don't set up a plot before that. AND, I usually make things too fast-paced, OR make it too 3rd person and rarely any dialogue. Just to let you guys know ;) And… (I seem to have a lot of ands.) the rating MAY be changed to M or even possibly M+. I don't really know.

ALSO, IF YOU GUYS HAVE ONLY WATCHED THE ANIME, GO READ THE MANGA OR YOU WILL BE SEVERLY CONFUSED IN LATER CHAPTERS. YES, THE MANGA CONTINUES THE ANIME.


Prologue

"Koko-kun! You meanie!" hollered a four year old toddler with long auburn tresses tied into a messy ponytail. As soon as she spoke, the boy named Koko disappeared. 'Aww…' she whined in her mind,'Koko-kun always beats me at Hide and Seek.'

On the top of the maple tree that the little girl was resting against, a boy with spiky hair, seemingly the shade of fresh sand, lay on a gigantic, sturdy branch.

"Mikan-chan!" he called with a smirk at what was going on in his head.

"You giving up now?"

Mikan sputtered, "Wh- wha? No! Why did you show yourself?"

"Why not? It not like you would be able to find me anytime soon."

This sentence made Mikan mad.

"YOU MEANIE!" she yelled while climbing the tree as swiftly as a squirrel running from its predator.

'Darn it!' Koko thought panicking. "Alice stone, transport me to that tree over there!"

Sadly, he forgot just how agile Mikan was as she continued climbing up the tree. As she neared the top, she quickly jumped to a branch on a nearby tree and then another, until she finally got to him. Her chibi face was so cute that when she tackled Kokoro that he burst out laughing.

"Ha-ha!" he cried. After he finished, the youths realized that all of their movement caused the weak tree to start tilting; considering that they were on the top, this was bad. Extremely bad.

"AHHHH!" they screamed. They were holding onto each other for their life as in the panicking moment, they forgot about their Alices. But, who could blame them? They were just four years old. Admittedly extremely intelligent four year olds.

Faces blushing from the cold wind whipping around, Yome Kokoro ended up on top of a certain Azumi Mikan.

"Owww…" Mikan spoke realizing that she fractured her arm. She quickly used her Healing Alice. How she even got it was another matter.

They just stared into each other's eyes before falling asleep, snuggling next to each other for warmth. Tired, with droopy eyes they laid their heads on some soft leaves.

The last thing they spoke before they fell asleep were several words that they might reflect on for the rest of their lives.

"Koko," Mikan whispered softly.

"Yeah?" he answered back.

"How long do you think we will be able to just stay like this, playing near the trees and being all carefree?"

He sighed, "I don't know, but we need you to be safe for now."

All she replied was, "I know, I know," before they rode to dreamland under the same tree that they carved their initials on when they first met each other. The gnarled pine tree seemed to wrap around the children as if trying to protect them from any harm that may come.

That same day, was the day when the plan had been finalized with Imai Hotaru, who was, at the moment, living in Osaka.

"The world will finally change. For naught better nor worse, but it shall change in indescribable ways," the three friends thought.

2 years later

"Bye Koko-nut!" Mikan shrieked with tears flowing freely down her face from her chocolate colored eyes.

"See ya Orangey! I'll miss you!" Koko hollered back with tears also forming.

They shared a big bear hug and whispered to each other before the Academy guards could take Koko away.

'When you first go into your room, deactivate the alarms after an hour. The first hour people will be checking you with their security cameras, and after that they basically leave you to your own work after they have deemed you not a threat. Take the Alice stone I will be giving you somewhere in your luggage bag and conceal it carefully where nobody would be able to find it. Do not try to look at it before the time comes or else this plan is doomed. The Alice stone will enable you to talk to me for a few minutes in your most dire situation, so best place would be to put it somewhere on your body as I can't put it on you right now, but the teachers and staff absolutely cannot see this. This portion is entirely on your hands Yome Kokoro.

Informants have stated that the whole Academy has Alice covered rays to detect when your Alice is being used. The teachers are usually ignorant of it but be cautious if you even meet the Elementary School Principal. They will not be able to get exact details as that would be a breach of privacy. Technically they are already doing that...

The Alice stone came from a fourth type Alice which is why you must be careful. We are approaching this with careful gambit. Imai Hotaru will arrive as stationed, approximately nine months before I will. You will need to give her information without directly contacting her. She says that she will be making an invention and giving it to you sometime on your birthday by sticking it onto someone's present so be sure to find it… I really don't want to pay for her invention costs. I can't believe how greedy she is; I wonder how much money will she earn when we grow up, probably gigantic amounts,' Mikan thought.

Apparently Koko knew to read her mind at that point from when she squeezed her hand. To others it may be a caring gesture, but Mikan had imprinted his hand with an unknown symbol that stood for their group. They shared a chuckle at Mikan's last thought.

'Give this print to the others. All you have to do is focus to slightly combine the components of yours and the other's Alice. I know all of us already know most of the process but since I have just finished it after a year, just wanted to give it a bit of an overview.'

Koko nodded softly. Before Mikan could react, his kissed her on the cheek and ran to the limo with his luggage shouting bye. She didn't mind, it was their gesture speaking silently that said that they cared for each other.

Mikan was caught off guard though as she stuttered, "B-bye Koko-kun!"

The sleek black limousine disappeared without a trace.

Mikan sighed, "In due time, things will start to become busy."

With that thought in mind, Mikan ran off to see her foster grandfather and started to put on the mask she wore every day. She loved her surrogate grandpa but she couldn't risk him being hurt especially with all the care and love he had given to her when Mikan's own mother had to drop her off.

The stupid grin slowly started to etch into her mind as the years passed. All blissful and carefree. A look of pure insanity flashed her face. That maniac wide grin with startling eyes partially hidden behind locks of hair was what someone would have remembered if they had seen it.

The world was turning dark; she could feel it in her bones. Then, Mikan whistled a jolly tune while smiling and skipping home to grandpa.
