Hey guys! So, I don't know what hit me, but this story's idea just pummeled in my head, so I immediately wrote down the plot and deciding to make this as a new story. So, I'm gonna use Mikan's POV all the time, until it was necessary to change it. Got it? And for IMPORTANT NOTICE : The characters use their Alice!

P.s. I noticed after the GA finished, lots of people not reading this ffn anymore, but I forever in love with this anime no matter what! So hopefully you guys will read this! :D

Shall we begin then? XD

Disclaimer : I don't own anything except the plot


Today was the first day of the year, the day when people celebrated New Year's traditions. The New Year's celebration in Alice Land meant adults in the evening had to attend Royal's Mask Party, with the Royal's family. The celebration's tradition made by our Hyuuga's ancestors, where their whole point was to make people in Alice Land grew closer to their King and of course to make peace. Everyone was very happy today; since we were going to a party with Royal's Family.

I was no exception.

It wasn't because of the Royal's Mask Party that put a big smile in my face. It was because, today was the day when I finally turning 17 years old! This year, I finally could become a teacher in my father's school! I also graduated this year, together with my best friend for 5 years, Nobara Ibaragi. My father owned a prestigious school, which was the only school in my region, Sakura Region. The school had 4 divisions: Kindergarten, Elementary, Junior High School and lastly Senior High School. I've known that school for my whole life, and I practically the headmaster's daughter, and everyone seemed very scared to me because of my father. Beside the owner of the school, my father became a duke, a mayor, or whatever you call the head of the Sakura Region. Everyone looked up at him, and kept saying how powerful The Yukihara's family was – which pissed me off. I got tired by how many people scared by my status as a duke's daughter, The Yukihara. I didn't want any special attentions; I wanted to be an ordinary people. That's when I met Nobara, the first person who I could rely on without showing my status. Instead she treated me as an ordinary people – which I deeply appreciated it.

My education was good; I always became the Top Students with perfect scores. Of course, back to my father, Izumi Yukihara's issue. Because I was the only child of the Headmaster, Izumi and duchess Yuka, I've been taught to act perfect at most of the things. They're not a bad parents though, my house always very bright, it had cheerful aura surrounding our house. So, that's why people in my region liked us, even The King, Ioran Hyuuga, himself became my father's best friend. How'd they become best friend, I never knew. Also, my uncle, Kazumi Yukihara became one of the Royal Advisor in the palace, making us more popular than ever.

Honestly, I never wanted popularity.

As what I said above, I was very happy to say that this year, I finally could become a teacher right? For all my life, I always wanted to work as a kindergarten's teacher. I loved kids. I didn't even know when, but now, having kids surrounding me making me ecstatic. It's not that I wanted to get married sooner, NO. But, becoming a kindergarten's teacher was my dream. Telling stories, making activities for children, played and sang with children were the best things in my life. I never said that took care the children was my only ability, I had plenty. I could cook, sing, and playing piano. I could eat lots, was that including my talents too? I'd say yes. Apparently, even after I ate lots foods, I never became fatter.

Did I already say that I have Alice?

Basically, everyone in the Alice Land had one or maybe more, like my mother. She had rare Alice; Copying and Stealing while my Dad only had Nullification Alice. I inherited my father's Alice. This was also quite rare. Even though my mother's Alice was dangerous, she never used it unless she had to. The Royal's family had the famous Fire Alice, only people who inherited Hyuuga name will have it.

"Hey, Mikan!" Nobara called me from behind. Speaking of her, she had an Ice Alice and for me, it was pretty cool. She could make my room in winter, and we could build a snowman together. Unlike me who so cheerful and bit tomboyish, Nobara was shy and very girlish, kinda aloof. But if you already knew her, deep down she was a very socialist and nice person to talk with. Turning myself to her, I showed her my biggest grin. She, with her beautiful curly icy blue hair, smiled sweetly to me.

"Happy Birthday Mikan! And happy New Year too!" I giggled and hugged her. We're in the café near my house now. This was where she had her part-time work. Unlike me, she was just an ordinary girl with ordinary life, which I always envied her. Her parents worked in palace though, as a head-chef and a maid. She's not exactly poor, but still she wanted to help her parents. She was just that nice. And she's also smart! Last time I checked her rank was just under me!

"Thank you!" She then turned to her boss, asking for a permission to have a break a while. I noticed her warm and beautiful deep blue eyes, she's so breathtaking. I sighed, wondering if I could as beautiful as her. Impossible I think. Unless, you asked me dad then you'll get different opinion.

"You don't have to do that you know? I'm sorry I bugged you now." She clicked her tongue.

"Nah, that's okay. Anyway, how does it feel being a seventeen years old girl?" I rolled my eyes and smiled.

"For sure, it's awesome. I woke today, jumping on my bed because I realized I'll be a teacher soon."

"Ah yes, you and your dream." She giggled and I nodded vigorously. I took a sip of my tea and gulped down slowly, still wanting the hot liquid trickling down my throat.

"You're really lucky. You're going to meet Prince Natsume tonight, at the ball. Hah, I'm so envy you!" I choked my tea. The Prince? Oh yeah, I just remembered. Prince Hyuuga Natsume, soon to be our king, was the hottest bachelor in Alice Land – or so what people said, especially girls. When I was a child, when my father once took me to the palace, I saw a boy around my age with regal outfits. I didn't see his face, only his back. So, I couldn't comment in that opinion alone. About the tradition to see the Prince in the Ball that Nobara said earlier was true. Traditions said, every child who already turned 17 years old, could attend a youngster's New Year Party – A party especially for teenagers - with The Prince, especially the children of each Duke. I, as the daughter of Sakura Region definitely invited at this party. Of course there will also The Nogi's, Koizumi's and Imai's, whom I never met before.

"I don't really that high to meet that guy, prince or not, I only focused on my dream!" Nobara gasped and then grabbed my shoulders firmly.

"You're kidding right?! You're about to meet the hottest guy in possibly this planet! You're not happy?!" As you could see, Nobara had huge crush with our Prince. She said she saw him when she visited the palace, though he didn't see her, but it was enough to make her flew through ocean – or what she said to me. I shrugged. She rolled her eyes at me.

"I wished I was born before the New Year, then I'd attend the Ball and meet the Prince" She sighed dreamily. This time, I was the one who rolled my eyes. The idea then hit me suddenly and I immediately grabbed her hands.

"Do you want to come with me? Tonight?" She gasped and widened her eyes.

"B-but how is that possible? I'm sixteen for goodness sake!" I shook my head.

"Trust me, it'd work. Just.. come to my house after your part time's done and I'll make over you!" I stared her sternly, trying to make her sure. She bit her lips, still figuring if this work.

"What should I do if I got caught?"

"You're just few months younger than me! I'm sure everyone won't know you're sixteen!"

"If.. if-"

"IF that happened, we will figure out later, just.. trust me okay?" I winked at her, and she finally nodded and smiled at me. I didn't know what happened to me, but for sure I was going to help my best friend.

"Tonight will be fun" I commented and she giggled.

"Thank you Mikan! You're the best!"

"I know! Anyway, I gotta go now! Wanna see the orphanage's doing, bye Nobara! and thanks for the tea!"I stood up and kissed both of her cheeks. She just shook her head and smiled to me.

"You're the nicest girl I ever know" She commented.

"You too!" and I made my way to the orphanage's house.


The Orphanage's house was not really far from the café too. As a spring's breeze blew and made my sleeveless-white dress swayed a little, made a smile in my face. Lots of Sakura Trees in my region, so that's why.. We named it Sakura Region. It was very beautiful and my favorite trees too. I breathed the fresh air and stretched my hands.

"Today was a nice day" I said to no one. I spotted a big Sakura Tree in front of the one-storey house and sat beside it. I counted until then I heard Bell's sound ringing from inside of the house. The house wasn't that bad. I asked my father to give some charities for this orphanage for their house and stuff that children need. It was all because I liked children.

"Ah! Mikan onee-san!" shouted one of the children, who then all running to me. They surrounded me and I hugged them all in one big-bear hug. I showed my biggest smile to them.

"Hello everyone! I didn't late this time right?" They all giggled and sat surrounding me. I've known a certain little boy will come automatically to me. His name was Youichi and he's 4 years old. He didn't talk much, which made me harder to get to know him when I first met him, but after I saved him when he couldn't get down from the tree, he became fond with me. Everyday he'd sat in my lap and held my shirt tightly. I liked him though, he was so adorable – with his innocent-emerald eyes, chubby cheeks and his unique white hair – I knew I'll like him, not that I didn't like the others.

"Hello Youichi, how are you today?" I said tenderly. He nodded once and then lowered his gaze again. I smiled and messed his hair – which he replied by grunt.

"Onee-san, why did Youichi-kun sit on your lap?" A girl with bright orange eyes asked me. I smiled and opened my free arm to her.

"Do Misaki-chan want to sit here too then?"


(A/N. I'm so in love with Kaichou wa-maid sama too! Forgive me! XD)


Misaki-chan then nodded happily and walked to sit on my lap. I didn't mind it at all, and started to tell them a story. My mother used to read me fairy tales, and I somehow happy to hear that. But now, she didn't do it anymore since she figured out, I've already grown up. To be honest, I missed her doing that stuff.

"SHIT!" The deep voice interrupted us. All heads turned to a man – not far from us – with messy-black hair. He looked very panicked until he saw me and immediately ran to me. I got surprise though, especially his crimson eyes. It almost hypnotized me until I suddenly pulled back to reality with his deep and boyish voice.

"Hey, I need your help."


TO BE CONTINUED!


Whew, there's the first chapter. I practically messing my notes with the plot in this chapter. To make it clear, I'm gonna explain you the Alice Land.

Alice Land was a land ruled by Hyuuga's clan from the very first year the land created. Practically, Hyuuga generations will always be Royal blood. The Land now ruled by the kindest and wisest King Ioran, father of Natsume Hyuuga. Alice Land divided into 6 regions:

First is Hyuuga Region, in the center of the island and also the place where Royal Family lives.

Second is Sakura Region, at the bottom right under Hyuuga's. As what Mikan said above, the land was full of Sakura trees. The Duke or the mayor who in charged is Mikan's father, Izumi Yukihara. They're well-known by the school made by Izumi's. They supplied foods and drinks to the palace.

Third is Nogi Region, located above Sakura's and at the top right Hyuuga's. Nogi is famous by its animal tamer. The region ruled by Kyosuke Nogi. They supplies animals to the palace.

Fourth was Imai Region, located the left top of Hyuuga's. Imai's is famous by their intelligent and technologies-maker. The region ruled by Hoshio Imai. They supplied technologies to the palace.

Fifth is Koizumi Region, located just under the imai's, bottom left of hyuuga's. They owned entertainment's world and center of art's world (like singing, painting, stuffs like that. Though, Mikan could sing too even though she didn't study here). The region ruled by Kuonji Koizumi. The region supplied musician, arts and everything to entertain the Royal Family.

Lastly, the region lived by un-Alice people. They called it AAO region, Anti-Alice Organization. For a while they got shut by Hyuuga for their last rebellion. (This is the essential information I guess, :D)

The four regions (beside Hyuuga's and AAO) supported each other and completed each other with what they had. And under Ioran's command, they lived peacefully, at least for now. *smirked evilly*

I think that's my entire author's note. I hope you guys like it, because honestly I, too excited by this story haha. And the other new story I promised you, will come out sooner XD So, please read it guys! Don't forget to review, okay? :D
