HI! I do apologize for the short summary, I chose to put a small excerpt of the story as the summary because it is more interesting that way, and I do want you guys to give this story a chance ehhe :). Anyways the story revolves around Mikan losing her memories and regaining them, and the things that happened to her after that. The plot may be overrated, but then again, the beauty is in the details hehe, And also this is my second Gakuen Alice fanfiction! My first story titled "Back Gardens" is the prequel and is still unfinished.

The age of the characters as I imagine them to be is around 16-17 years old. I also incorporated some japanese words into the story as a way of improving my knowledge with regards to the language.

CRAZY MORNING

"Ohayoo Tanakasan!" Mikan shouted to the guy riding the bicycle

"ohayou Mikan!" replied Tanaka "iitenki desu ne?"

"soo desune!" replied mikan with a big smile on her face- its a good day indeed!

Mikan was facing the mirror while brushing her long brown locks, November has come and its almost time for the holidays-
Mikan's most favorite time of the year.
After dressing up she then rushed to the stairs to have breakfast.

"ohayoo Oji-" Mikan was cut off when she saw her grandfather speaking with two men.
She cant recognize any of them except the seal on their uniforms.

gakuen alice

"huh could it be that these men are from alice academy?" Mikan thought
"duh of course they are! how else would they be wearing those uniforms if they aren't" exclaimed Mikan to herself
while making an imaginary knock on her head

"Mikan" her grandfather called her
" this is Narumi Anju" as her grandfather pointed the guy with the wavy blond hair "and this is Hijiri Goshima" pointing
to the direction of the guy with the brown hair. "They are members of the alice academy and they came here to see you"

"ohayo gozaimasu, yoroshiku onegaishimasu" Mikan said as she bowed her head

"ahaha" narumi exclaimed while waiving his hand "No need to be so formal Mikan, Seeing you so cute like that
makes me miss you even more"

"huh? Im afraid I dont follow you sir, but I can't remember us meeting"

"Yes, yes" replied Narumi by letting out a sad laugh
"How could you remember when in fact 4 years ago, we completely erased your memory of us"

"gome, but I think Im not following what your saying" Mikan nervously said, looking at her grandpa as if shes desperately needing help
from the situation

"Gomenasai Mikan, I think Narumi sensei is just overwhelmed with the situation. As your kind grandpa said, my name is Goshima. I
was a student of Alice Academy when we first met, but I am a member of the faculty now" the guy with the brown hair explained.

he then continued " This is a lot to digest but we have something that may help you understand," he then pulled something from
his sidepockets and handed it to her. "these are memory stones, filled with the memories that we erased when you were in the academy
, if you take them you will be able to remember who you are"

" ehh? so you're trying to let me take something that Im not even aware of? and Im sorry I really can't buy the story
that you just told me." Mikan exclaimed full of denial

" I, I just can't" Mikan was screaming inside her head when a phone suddenly rang

"sumimasen," Narumi exclaimed " I have to take this call"

"Hello?"
"Hai"
"Hai"
"yes, we're here. Everythings going good so far"
"okay were on our way". Narumi then ended the conversation and turn shut his phone

"Mikan chan, Ojii-san, Sad to say that we have to go, have some matters that we have to attend to"
"Mikan chan, Im glad to see you today, and I am excited to talk to you the way we always did before. You
grew up to be a very beautiful girl, just like the little mikan 4 years ago. Take the memory pills once you're
ready. And once you do someone will go to where you are, and pick you up"

"take care Mikan and see you real soon" He then gave Mikan a tap on the head and bowed towards Mikan's grandfather.

"Ja, see you around Mikan" Goshima said and followed Narumi to the door.

Mikan was dumbfounded. Her mouth was left open with the whole happening. She was still out of her mind when suddenly
POWWWWW- bear gave her a big punch to the head

"YOOOUUU! WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR!" mikan shouted

" haha " her grandpa gave a laugh

" probably because your mouth was gaping so big that your saliva was about to fall off"

with that mikan then gave out a smile and took bear to her arms

" thank you bear for always being there for me" she heartely said while hugging the little stuffed animal

" but ojiisan, what do they mean? Do you know anything about this?" Mikan asked facing her grandpa

her grandpa just gave out a smile " I don't have the answer to your questions child. It is there" pointing
at the little pack of pills in Mikan's hand

"you only find something when you're ready. What I know though is that it's already 8am and you're almost late for class!"

"oh gosh I almost forgot! we have recitations today!" Mikan then hurriedly gave bear to her grandpa

"bye grandpa bye bear! see you later" and with that Mikan rushed out to school.

SCHOOL

In math class, Mikan was lost in her thoughts. During the entire duration of the session, her eyes were glued to the windows
looking for something without knowing what it is. Her hands were in her pockets busy gripping the memory pills when suddenly she felt
someone pinching her sleeves. She turned to the direction of the pinching and she sees Anna, one of her closest friends in
highschool. "huh what's the problem Anna" Mikan asked her, "stop pinching me or else Nobu sensei's gonna notice and call me"

" OH I DONT NOTICE YOU ALRIGHT SAKURA!" Nobu the math teacher sarcastically commented. He was standing beind Mikan's back
the whole time she was lost.

"your blank face staring at the windows is a face more cunning than your expression during exams!"
"Now having to see you not listening to me gives me the notation that you are ready for recitation. So please Miss
Sakura do me the honor of solving this basic problem - The S wave shadow zone is caused by the outer core not transmitting S waves. It crosses an arc of 105 degrees on the Earth (see the diagram on the left).
Estimate the radius of the outer core if the radius of the entire Earth is 6370 km. "

"weeeeh?" (Insert Mikans funny-sad-shocked face here) "Ummmm UMmmmm"

KRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING the bell of salvation rang

"yaaaaah" the whole class shouted

"sumimasen sensei, but Im afraid Mikan has to answer that problem next session" said Anna while grabbing Mikan's hand and giving
her a wink.

"gomenasai Nobu sensei"mikan exclaimed while bowing her head and before Nobu could reply Mikan and Anna were
already sprinting towards the door.

WORK

Mikan was then at her usual after school work at the Coffee shop, she was still lost in her thoughts which then resulted to
1 coffee spillage and 4 misarranged orders. She went outside for a breather when Lily- one of her friends also working
at the shop followed her

"what's wrong Mikan?" lily asked while handing out an orange drink to Mikan

" ohh hehe nothing lily, I just feel sick that's all"

" ohh i see, you should ask Andrei-san for an early out"

" hehe Its okay Lily I can still manage" Mikan said as she let out a smile

" oh and by the way Lily, what do you know about Alice academy?"

"huh? why Alice academy all of a sudden" said Lily

" umm I dont know, I just got curious because I earlier saw two men with Alice Academy seals on their uniforms" replied Mikan

" really? " Lily excitedly asked "hmm I don't really know anything about that place. We have a neighbor before though, name's
Kororo- poor old guy. He always roams around our village shouting at how abnormal students in the academy
are, he said they have special abilities like flying and breathing fire but ofcourse no one believed him" Lily explained
while stopping just to take a sip at her juice, " anyway, he even said something about having your memories erased when you go out,
but in the case of Kororo I think his entire sanity was erased he was full blown crazy. He was a nice guy though"

Lily's explanation made Mikan gulp her juice, She didn't notice it but her face was turning pale

"oi mikan!" lily called out, concern hinted on her voice
" I really think you should take an early out, you look so pale, you need to rest!"
"yeah" mikan said with a nervous laugh "I also think I should"

"Im home!" Mikan shouted while opening the door, bear greeted her by giving her her indoor slippers

"domo bear!" Mikan bended to give the bear a kiss and headed to the dining area
" My mikan chan! come come lets have dinner" her grandpa lovingly said
" wow the food smells so yummy! Too bad my stomach is upset though,I won't eat dinner now grandpa"
"Are you okay?" her grandpa asked, spunding worried

"Im okay grandpa dont worry" Mikan replied while giving her grandpa a kiss on the cheek
"Im gonna go to my room now okay, Im just gonna take a bath and I will sleep early."

with that Mikan then went upstairs.

BATHROOM

Mikan was in the bathtub taking her usual night bath. She was looking at the packet of pills the Narumi guy gave out earlier
She was deeply contemplating as to whether she will take the pills or not.

"hmm, they look pretty normal to me" she sighed, there're 3 pills and they were the color of blue

" I guess it won't hurt if I try" Mikan then reached out for the glass of water at the bathroom table. placed the 3 pills on her
tongue, drank the water and made a big gulp. Mikan remembered staring at the bathroom ceiling for ages, with images of people
and events flashing through her mind. the recollection was like a whirlwind her brain can handle, and by that time she got lost
in space and disappeared beneath the warm water.
