This is my first fanfic..well technically my revised first fanfic, I had to rewrite my very first.

I hope you like my story..random ideas came in my mind..

I do not own Alice Academy.

Who ever thought that our cold, insensitive, and untouchable Natsume would be defeated by our sweet Mikan, but not by her alice but by using her specialty..her smile.

I can testify that it is her greatest weapon. It even worked on me. That's why I asked her out back then, but good thing she was dense; I can't believe that I, Ruka Nogi, did all those stupid things just to be noticed by her.

Now it has been almost a year since they got together, and I am proud to say I was the one who coordinated the plan to get them "united". Sure, my first few plans were, let's say, unsuccessful, but I'm glad my friends helped me.

And Imai..

When Imai returned from Alice Academy Hongkong, she already grew her hair long. I still wear the necklace she gave me a few years back, but she acts like she doesn't remember it.

Some people say she didn't chnage, but I know she did..sorta.

And guess what? She continued her blackmailing business on me..and her reason..

The world revolves around money, you know - that were her exact words..

I missed that..

And guys are starting to follow her and asking her and looking at her and things like that!

If they ever get near her, I'll..I'll...kill them..

or I'll just order the animals to do that!

What am I thinking?

I can't do that, she'll hate me forever..

Why do I have to feel this way about that girl..

But I swear, I'll make the lives of those guys miserable!

"What are you doing?" a familiar voice said behind me.

I realized what I was doing, I was throwing rocks hard at a poor, harmless tree.

I turned around and faced him,"Natsume-did you-I mean-how long were you...did you see that?"

He was looking at me weirdly, "Vigorously throwing rocks at a tree. What was that about?"

"Nothing," I chuckled nervously, "I was just practicing my..uhm..my throws for...uhm...baseball..let's go?"

"Sure," he replied suspiciously.

Our classroom was noisy as usual, but as usual they silenced when they saw us enter, everyone still had the "fear of death" from Natsume although Mikan was there.

Ever since we were 12, Mikan started to enter class earlier.

She was assigned to sit in front of Natsume's seat, "Good morning, Natsume," as she saw us coming.

He looked at Mikan and smiled..I think.

She smiled. She looked at me and did the same thing..I in return just smiled as well.

The class then started..

Class B. Only 4 of us remained in this class, Natsume, Mikan, Koko, and myself.

While Yuu, Imai, Mochu, and Kitsuneme (the flying boy) were in class A; and Anna, Nonoko, Usami (Sumire's friend), Otonashi, and Sumire at class C.

This split of classes began when we were 12, it was kinda hard to adjust without the people I hear and see everyday like Yuu with his failure but constant attempt to tame the wild class, Sumire and Usami's girly talks, Anna and Nonoko with their conversations, and of course Imai and Mikan's constant fights where Imai obviously wins.

It was hard. But we can't do anything with the academy's decision. And I, Natsume and Mikan too, know what are the consequences when someone disobeys the higher-ups.

Still we ate together at lunch and dinner, we still hanged out together a lot.

At the lunch table while we were eating lunch, I was happily eating my lunch then something caught my attention.

"So, did you hear, " Usami said, "no one is allowed to go to central town for a week."

"They announced this morning that they extended it to a month," Anna replied.

"What!" Sumire shouted, slamming the table making us all jump in our seats.

"Calm down, Sumire," Yuu comforted his girlfriend.

It's funny how these two got together but that's another story.

"But-" she crossed her arms and pouted.

"There are other good places we can hang out here in the school grounds," Otonashi said before she sipped some tea, "we'll survive."

"She's right, we can survive," Mikan said positively.

"We can, but Sumire has a reason to be upset about," Anna bowing her head disappointed, "the Alice Academy Winter Festival is coming up."

The Alice Academy Winter Festival is only celebrated every 5 years and is being held in different academies around the world, you can say it's the most prestigious dance festival in the whole academy or better yet the Alice world. Famous personalities from different parts of the world that has alices will attend. Representatives of other Alice Academies will come as well. The leaders of the academy and the other leaders of other academies will have their meetings. And this time it will be held here in Alice Academy Tokyo.

No alice, no entry.

Even sponsors of the academy is not allowed to come.

The students from the middle and high school divisions are the only ones who are allowed to attend, so this is my first time. I heard many things they do on this festival, it's not like the yearly festival we do, we don't show off our alices but instead we show our talents. Singing, dancing, and others.

Mr. Narumi said we should join a contest even just one. He said we need to represent our class and have fun. And classes A, B, and C, that's our grade, are the assigned grade to help the committees, apparently Mr. Narumi volunteered us!

And we all know that in festivals there is the last dance.

I'm sad and happy at the same time; I'm sad because people are going to be stupid, 'who do I ask', 'will I ask her', 'I should have asked her', this is going to be a long month.

And yet again I'm happy because I know someone who thinks he's going to lose his mind thinking..

I turned my sight towards the guy I'm talking about. I'm holding my laughter inside.

I can't hold it anymore. I suddenly chuckled.

He looked at me evilly. You better keep your mouth shut.

I can only nod.

"But the dance is a month away," Mochu said.

"A day before the central town opens up again," Hotaru suddenly spoke with money signs in her eyes.

The festival is in a few days. The whole festival will be held here in the school grounds, off limits on the central town.

Without central town, student entrepreneurs would sell there creations to other students, and in this field Hotaru with her innovation alice would be on top of business.

"Everything will be alright," Mikan said, "but for now the only thing we can do is help the winter festival committee in the preparations, I'm the head of the assistance committee."

Sumire looked at Mikan with a confused look, "The what?"

"That's the committee who'll help and assist the other committees on setting up everything," Natsume said aloof, "hence the name 'assistance'?"

We all looked at him with also confused faces.

"He's helping," Mikan said smiling, "actually he's a volunteer."

Now he's helping? Seriously, Natsume changed.

"How did you became the head of the assistance committee?"

"Sayami picked me personally."

Yuu stopped, "The chairwoman for the festival?"

"Yeah!" she replied happily, "She said I would do great, she said I can gather volunteers easily with my smile."

"Or with your loud mouth," her best friend interrupted.

"That's not nice Hotaru!" she said then turned to us, "So anyone wants to help?"

I can hear people echoing or murmuring some excuses including me..then..

"She said anyone.." Natsume suddenly spoke, looking at us with his famous death glare.

By this time we should be all used to his death glares, but the shivers in my spine are still there.

"Hotaru, do you want to volunteer?" Mikan let out a smile.

Hotaru rolled her eyes, "Just don't bother me when I'm busy."

I should sign in too...I mean she's technically in, right?

I couldn't help but choke on the food I was eating.

Everyone looked at me. I covered up by smiling and continue eating my food.

Koko..stop reading my mind..

Another nod from me.

"I'm a volunteer in the publicity committee."

"That's perfect for you, Yuu!" Mikan clasped her hands with excitement, "You can use your alice for promoting the winter festival!"

"Yeah, Sumire thought of it." he was blushing.

I know guys must be kind to their girlfriends but this is going out of hand, guys shouldn't be pushovers. Look at what happen to Natsume, he's loosing it! Now Yuu, he's being a pushover over the top!!

I choked again, and again they looked at me.

I said stop reading my mind, Koko!

"I didn't, Ruka!"

They looked at Ruka. A faint blush grew to his face.

Wait, I said that to Ruka. Does this mean Ruka thought of something I should have read that he doesn't want me to read but I didn't?

And wow, I didn't think Mochu has those kind of principals on life.

"I'm in the food committee," Anna said, "sorry Mikan."

"I'm sorry!" Nonoko said, "I already signed up for the music committee."

"I've already signed up for that too," Otonashi said.

"Decorations for me," Mochu said, "Kitsuname too."

Kitsuname nodded, "Sorry, Mikan."

"I'm in the financing," Usami said proudly.

"Yeah," Sumire preparing to leave, "I already have my eyes for the Activities committee."

Mikan let out a sigh, "I understand."

Anna has the cooking alice and I know the food committee needs her there. Nonoko and Otonashi, they're both musically gifted and I know they would be great at the music committee. Mochu and Kitsuname can use their alice and help the people decorate, they are artistic; Usami is good with math and budgeting stuff, and Sumire always wants to be on top of what we are doing and she has great ideas. My friends are all signed up.

Mikan turned to Ruka, "How about you? Wanna join the assistance committee?"

"Uhm, sure." he looked at Hotaru who was busy eating.

BINGO! That was what I was looking for..

(detective music...)

I am Koko, Agent Koko.

I don't meddle, I am a mere spectator.

A spectator of love stories such as this..well I think it's a love story.

My friend here, Ruka, he is scared..well more of terrified.

I may suffer consequences for being a spectator but no matter how many or how hard they are, I will see and know and document everything that is in between them for I am Agent Koko.

(back to normal..)

I don't like meddling into other people's business but I can't help it especially when the guy is this slow, I mean, we all know that Ruka is one of the most popular guys in the academy, but why is he so shy when Hotaru's around. He had other relationships before, but it seems that he can't reach her.

People started to stand up, apparently they're all finished with lunch.

"See you guys later!" Mikan waved her hand.

Mikan and I were the only ones left at the table.

"I'll sign up for your committee."

"Really?" She clapped her hands, "Thanks Koko!"

She quickly ran away in excitement.

I'm only going to be a spectator.

Hey Guys! I hope you liked it!!

Please comment!! What do you think?

I love Koko!
