Chapter 1 Of my Gakuen Alice Fanfiction
Hey guys, I love Gakuen Alice, it's one of my favourite anime. I decided to make a Fanfiction. It's my first Gakuen Alice Fic so I really hope you enjoy. I don't own Gakuen Alice or the characters. I will follow the storyline quite closely so I will try to make it as good as I can. So without further ado, Please enjoy, just to let you know it might seem very very long because the chapter lasts one episode of the series. The writing is spaced out a lot as well so that's also part of the reason.
What if Mikan was blind since she was really little because of an accident. She makes friend with Hotaru and after Hotaru leaves for their sake she decides to runaway to follow her to Alice Academy. (I will just call it Gakuen Alice in the story) What mystery's await her here? It basically follows the main story of the anime but with my own twist.
Episode 1 The school's going to be shut down. Part 1
I'm Sakura Mikan and I don't have any parents, well I actually really don't know about that. I grew up with just having my grandpa with me and I didn't have any other siblings either. Worst of all, when I was really young I got into an accident that left me unable to see. In other words I'm blind. Even though I was blind I could work my way around during the village okay because Since I had lived there for years I guess I got adapted to not being able to see everything. I wear glasses a pair of black glasses and have a special stick though to help me around. I'm always cheerful and everyone loves to see me smile. I am in school at the moment so let's continue on!
"Please help me by signing this petition to save Satsuki Elementary School so it won't be shut down! I'm counting on you all. (I was standing up on the desk because it was the only way people would listen and hear me well. I know my way around pretty well so I don't have much trouble)
"Mikan-chan, what are you doing up there?!" Her friends were looking up at the young blind girl who was standing on top of the desk.
"A protest!" She looked happy as she had her little cup to shout out her voice. (It's one of them cone shaped things that make your voice sound louder)
"A protest for what Exactly?"
"A protest for what?! Their making us move to the city schools and they're getting rid of this one! Our precious school is gonna get shutdown! "
The three friends looked at one another and turned back to Mikan. "Doesn't that sound better then coming to this old rundown one every day? Although I see why moving to the city schools would be a problem for you because you haven't been in they city much and you don't know your way around."
"Yeah, that is a big problem but it would also mean we don't have to take the school bus to get here like we would."
"And the school uniforms they have are all soooo cute, although I wish you could see what they look like. I hate to say this but you always miss out on all the good stuff mikan. "
"I know and it sort of hurts trying to think about not being able to see them but anyway. You're all dummies! All you can think about is uniforms!" She accidentally fell off the desk but quickly stood up to face her friends or at least where she thought they were. ("Are you ok, mikan -chan? Do you need some help?" Mikan didn't like being asked for help because well it just made her feel like she was helpless and that she couldn't do anything by herself. She worked hard so no one would have to help her.)
"I'm fine and no I don't need help. Why can't you see that we have a lot of important memories that we made in this school? " She tried to get her friends of all the fun times they had had together over the years even if they are only ten. ,
"Memories?..." They all tried to think for a moment.
"Yeah, memories. You've got to have some! Everyone of us has our own precious memories. "
Flashback
(Shows a blind mikan looking at a blossom tree trying to smell the petals falling and wishing she could still see it)
'Since I don't have any parents and I'm blind Grandpa dressed up in fancy suit when he came to my entrance ceremony for the first time with me. It was still a bit embarrassing even though I couldn't see him because everyone commented on it. ' (Shows mikan standing up to do her introduction)
"My name is Sakura Mikan. Although I can't see I hope to make lots of friends because that is my goal. "
'The very first time we went on a trip as a class and the Sports festival. I knew my way around the track like the back of my hand so there were some things that I could participate in. For me my most precious memory happened in my third year of school at Satsuki Elementary. '
"This Imai Hotaru, would anyone like to ask her a question?"
"Do you have a favourite subject or something? "
"My favourite subject would be nanotechnology." She left the class to wonder what nanotechnology was. I just thought that she was the new popular transfer student that everyone clung to for some reason. That was why I had strong feelings of dislike towards her because I was just the blind girl with no parents, no siblings and only a grandfather. After one day though she asked me to become her friend.
"Hey, you're Mikan-chan right, the one who can't see? Would you become my friend. I know you can't see but you know your way around. As long as we just be our normal selves I'm sure that two cute girls like us could win this. (She held up a flyer that said Girl Karaoke Contest for duo's only of course she read out what it said because I obviously couldn't see it)
'Her strong kind words won me over. She could see how people were different. We became really famous in our neighbourhood from winning and even people who didn't know us would be talking about us. We always did things together but we sometimes went a bit over the top like when we were arguing with each other. We went fishing together although it took me a while to get used to using it because it's harder to adapt to things when you can't see them. Hotaru always used something suited to her style of thing when we went out together. Me and Hotaru always stuck together no matter what we were doing or where we were at the time. '
Flashback end
"Thinking back on all your memories is fine but there's no point in talking if no one's here to listen to you."
"Well how am I supposed to know when they leave in case you've forgotten I- ..."
"I know, I know, you don't have to bring it up. I wanted to tell you that us being made to move to the schools in the city has no relation to the school being shut down."
"How can you be so sure?"
"They just don't have enough money for the school or for the town. "
"But we still have to get a good education with or without money. ("That's why they're moving us into the schools in the city.") But that's not fair, my grandpa feels the same way as me!"
"Then if you want to fight for the school you will have to do it on your own mikan. "
"Why won't you help me Hotaru, we're meant to stick together. ("I have some business I need to take care of so I need to go.")
My other friends hurried into the classroom and they said something about news. "What big news? ( This guy in an awesome black car who looked cool just parked in front of the school. He's already going to the staffroom. I bet he's here to give them the bad news!")"He has bad news?"
"Yeah, he probably came here to officially announce the closing of our school or something. "
"Then let's get down to the staff room to see what's happening! Can you hand me my stick please?"
"Here ya go, now come on!" They grabbed my hands and off we went to find out what the man was doing here.
"Hey, hotaru's in there mikan!" ("What, why would She be in there?" ) "Maybe they've finally decided if the school's closing down or not. " They tried to see in better but ended up falling down on top of me.
"Oh, we're so sorry Mikan. Here we'll help you up." Hey guys, look, it's Hotaru's turtle mail. " They picked it up and handed it to me. I opened it with a bit of difficulty and I used my hands to read what was on the paper (There used special paper that the blind use to read and write) When I realized what was on it I used my stick to help look around. My friends said that she was at the car so they led me to it.
"Mikan, I don't have much time so please say what you need to and make it quick. "
"The letter I got from you said that you're going to a different school that is really far away from here and that you're leaving today too! It also said that you are transferring into a Kid-12 all in one escalator school whatever that is. "
"Yes, that is all correct information."
"You should let me know of really really important things lime this and not through your stupid turtle mail! "
"If I had told you beforehand then I know that you wouldn't stop bugging me about it no matter how blind you may be.(That just means she'd find a way to keep bugging Hotaru about it.)
"Being happy with just your past and not caring about people's love and their concern for you , Hotaru, you're an idiot and huge blockhead. Just how could you not have told me about something as huge as this. "
"Mikan, you really are a big dummy. You shouldn't be crying over something like this. We will see each other again. And I'll be able to come back in the summer and winter holidays. I'll also write you lot's of letters. "
"But Hotaru! " I just kept on crying when I heard a man's voice.
"It's time to go now. "
"Mikan, I have to go now, I'll see you again, goodbye. " I think she got into the car because I heard it slamming.
'Stupid Hotaru, this too cruel. Even if we are very far away from each other we'll still definetly... '
'It's now months later and I was giving up hope that she was going to send me a letter to stay in touch. '
"Really, only one in nine months? I guess Hotaru-chan doesn't like doing boring things such as this. "
"I wonder what happened, even though I can't see I still manage to write one letter to her every two days and it's really difficult. This is me we're talking about grandpa, all she does is send one letter this late. "
"One sided love can be really painful can't it. I also used to write letters to girls when I was your age. Come one Mikan cheer up and act happy again. "
I grabbed my stick and I went to sit on top of the hill nearby and I read Hotaru's letter with my hands again. 'The summer this year is scorching hot and I have been really tired lately so I'm not coming back at the moment. I have been able to complete my air conditioning so that I will be comfortable. There is a picture on the back of what I can see from by bedroom Window. Since you won't be able to see it get your grandfather to tell you what it's like in detail. Please send me Watermelon. '
I was really angry and heartbroken by that point. "Hotaru, YOU'RE HEARTLESS!". I screamed it out loud so probably everyone heard me.
Hey there, I didn't want the chapter to be too long so I stopped at where the break is in the isode. I know it probably sucks because it just follows the storyline but I will try and make it as interesting as I can. It's kind of hard when you're following the storyline but it does not belong to me or the characters or the storyline. The only thing I own is how Mikan's blind, ok?! I hope you enjoyed and please review!
