She was getting dressed deciding between the two different outfits she had laid out. It was her first date with Natsume, after six years at the academy. She wanted to look her best. At the age of sixteen, Mikan was a special star and one of the oldest special ability students. As one of the oldest, Mikan had to help teach the young ones when sensei was out on another time trip.

Because of this Mikan was one of the most popular principals there was to help with practice. Natsume even started to become a friendlier person, because she was around him more. But Persona didn't let him give the Dangerous Ability class missions. It was after one of these missions that Mikan had found him…

It was around midnight when Mikan left Hotaru's room. They had to finish their newest group project. When Mikan got near the special star rooms she found Natsume on the floor in front of his room. Mikan stared at him, then she noticed as she started to walk near him that he was covered in scrapes and dried blood. As she went to help him into to his already open room, she heard him talking to himself.

"Um…Mikan…Mikan."

Mikan continued to get him into his room, taking him to his bed. Then she went to get the first aid kit to take care of his wounds. After she returned and started to treat him, she noticed that he had a big gash near his chest. Mikan began to take his shirt off when Natsume grasped her hands.

"What are you doing, little girl?"

"T-treating your wounds, what else would I be doing!"

"Well you could be trying to attack me," stated Natsume with a smirk.

"N-no you pervert!"

"Will you just shut up already and continue."

"S-sure."

As Mikan was treating his wounds she found a lot of scars on his chest. When she saw how many their were, she started to cry.

"Why are you crying polka dots?" stated a tried Natsume.

"Its…it's… all these scars…you got these to protect us from Persona…didn't you?"

"No…"

"Ok…but please stop these deadly missions, I can't stand it anymore. It's driving me crazy!"

"Why do you care, anyway?"

"Because we care about you Natsume. Because I care about you. No, because I-I-I love you!"

"Well that makes sense."

"What?"

"I thought that was why you were here taking care of me, when you could have been asleep in your room by now."

"Ok, then you do not need me. Bye."

Mikan began to get of his bed when Natsume all of a sudden grasps her wrist, pulling her back to the bed.

"Don't go. I want you to stay here."

"Why should I?" stated confused Mikan.

"Because I want you to… and because I love you to."

"What…wait did you just say you love me?"

"Yes. Yes I did, Mikan. So stay with me for the night."

"Um…ok."

Mikan got into the middle of the bed with him. Natsume gripped her by the waist and pulled her into a warm embrace as they both fell asleep.

This was the beginning of Alice Academy's most famous couple.
