Hey guys! I'm trying something new. Gakuen Alice baby. I'm putting off Naruto for a bit since I can't even update AUL…..sadly. I've been working on it! I'll try to get a new chapter out soon for all you AUL readers…..I think I only have three. How sad. Anyways, I hope you enjoy my newest fanfiction.

Genre: Romance/

Main pairing: NatsumexMikan

Side Parings: Pending

Mikan and the others are currently 16 and the hormones are starting to kick in. Boys are finally realizing that girls are hot and have something called boobs. Girls are starting to realize that men aren't only hot….they're fun to be with, and to go out with. Except for Mikan of course. She's still stuck in her own little world where everything is fairy dust and mermaids.

Mikan panted as she ran to class. "I'm gonna be late! I'm gonna be late!!!" She exclaimed as she ran. She got to the door and ran in, her shoes squeaked as she stopped. Everybody turned to look at her. But, then they just went back to what they were doing. It wasn't surprising that Mikan just ran in. She does this every day. Mikan sighed with relief. "Thank god, I'm in the clear. No teacher." She walked over to her best friend Hotaru, who was with Yuu. "Hello Hotaru, hello Yuu!" She exclaimed happily, smiling.

Yuu smiled. "Hello Mikan! It's nice to see you!" He said happily. Hotatu just nodded.

Mikan blinked. "Oi, Hotaru. What are you making?" She asked.

Hotaru looked up at her. She pressed a button and a beep was heard, then some tubes shot out and attatched to Mikan's forehead. "Invention 173. Information deposit. Tubes come out and attatch to people who the user has chosen. Then it feeds certain information to them. But it is a currently unfinished invention." She said. Suddenly Mikan was shocked, then the tube slithered back. "Hmmm….I need to work on it."

Mikan was crying. "That hurt!"

BAKA

"You look ugly when you cry." Hotaru said in a monotone voice.

Mikan sniffed. "Hotaru!" She tried to hug her.

BAKA BAKA BAKA

Hotaru looked at her. "Don't try to hug me you snot face girl." She said.

Just then Narumi, their homeroom teacher, came in with his odd attire on as always. "Okay children, to your seats!" He said, smiling. The students took their seats. Mikan glanced at her partner, Natsume, who was supposively sleeping or reading. Since the manga was over his face. Next to Natsume was Ruka. Mikan smiled and waved to him, and he waved back,

Narumi danced to the front of the room. "Ok kids! Good news. The Alice festival is coming up soon." Cheers erupted from the classroom. "Now, you guys are going to your special classes now. Bye bye!" He danced out of the room.

Mikan's eye brightened. She turned to her partner. "Natsume! Ne, Natsume!" She shook him lightly.

Natsume took the manga off his face and looked at her with an annoyed expression. "What is it polka?" He asked.

Mikan glared at him. "First off, don't call me polka you pervert." She then smiled. "Second, did you hear that!?!" She was bouncing in her seat. "The Alice festival! I can't wait." She giggled.

Natsume rolled his eyes and put his manga back over his face. "Whatever."

Mikan pouted. "Meanie." She paused. "Oh….you're just sad cause you don't get to participate." She frowned and shook her head. "Poor Natsume."

Natsume growled. "Shut up. I don't need you pity."

Mikan glared at him. "Sour puss." She stood up before walking out to go to her class.

Ruka looked at Natsume and frowned. "Is that really alright?" He asked.

Natsume looked at him. He then stood up. "You go to your class." He said, before leaving.

Ruka sighed and stood up, carrying his bunny. He walked off.

zZz

Mikan ran in to the classroom. "Tsubasa-senpai!" She exclaimed. "Did you hear, did you hear?" She was jumping up and down. "The Alice festival is coming up! What're we gonna do this year?" She asked, excited.

Tsubasa smiled and laughed. "Well…Misaki and I were talking. But none of us could think of anything." He laughed sheepishly. "Do you have any ideas?" He asked.

Mikan smiled and thought. "Hmm…well…maybe we could do something kinda like a circus….or a performance." She suggested.

"Hmmm….." Tsubasa rubbed his chin. "That's not a half bad idea. Let's do the performance." He smiled. He looked at the others. "What do you guys think?" He asked.

Cheers erupted from the group of people/

Tsubasa smiled. "Perfect."

Mikan giggled.

zZz

Natsume yawned as he leaned against his favorite sakura tree while reading his favorite manga. He was grumpy, bored, and tired. He didn't want to do anything. Not even read at this point. So, he put down his manga and closed his eyes. He allowed his mind to wander. For once. Besides, it's not like anybody who could read his mind was around. Mikan has been annoying like always. Can't she just freaking shut up for once!?! He gritted his teeth. But…then again..I have noticed that-

"Natsume." A man said. He was standing infront of Natsume.

Natsume growled. "Persona. What do you want?" He asked, glaring at him.

Persona chuckled, evily. "You have a new mission. Do not fail orelse something worse than worse will happen." He said, handing him a letter.

Natsume sighed. "I know the rules." He answered coldly. He grabbed the letter and stalked off.

Persona smirked. "I wonder what that useless boy is thinking all the time." He walked off, a few plants died on his way.

zZz

Mikan giggled as she started writing down ideas for the performance they would do. "Hmm…Tsubasa-senpai, you can do a shadow puppet show, then Misaki can do a dance!" She exclaimed, happily.

Misaki laughed. "Sounds great. We'll get on it." She made a few clones then walked off to practice.

"Mikan," Tsubasa started, "what'll you do?" He asked.

Mikan smiled. "I'll be helping out backstage, and I'll be he narrator!" She exclaimed happily.

Tsubasa smiled. "Sounds like a fun job." He said.

Mikan nodded. "It will be. I can't wait to tell Natsume!" She giggled.

Tsubasa smiled and leaned down. "My, my. Mikan you seem to like Natsume a lot. Are you guys dating?" He asked, winking.

Mikan blushed. "Tsubasa-senpai! It's not like that!" She protested.

Tsubasa laughed and stood up straight. "Just checking." He walked off.

Mikan pouted, then continued with her work.

zZz

Mikan decided to go find Natsume, so she ran off to the sakura tree. "Natsume!" She exclaimed. No answer. She looked around. He wasn't there. She frowned and sat down. "Maybe he's off on a mission." She muttered, sadly. She remembered when everybody tried to make it so that Natsume wouldn't have to go on missions anymore. It didn't work. She suddenly blinked. Shade? I don't remember It being shady. She looked up. It was Persona, but she didn't know him. She smiled. "Hello mister."

Persona smirked. "Hello." He said. "I was wondering what your Alice was." He said, in an attempt to learn more about this girl. He had heard that Natsume liked her and wondered why. She was loud and annoying.

Mikan smiled sweetly. So innocent. "I have the nullification Alice." She said, happily.

Persona smiled a very, very fake smile. "That's amazing. I have the death Alice." She touched a small plant and it died.

Mikan blinked. "W-Wow….that's amazing….yet scary." She said.

Persona nodded. "Your Alice is very….interesting. I was wondering if I could show you something tomorrow. Come to this spot right after school tomorrow." He said.

Mikan nodded. "Ok." She smiled. "I can't wait!"

Persona then walked off smirking. What a naïve little girl. This'll be fun.

YAY!! Finished. Giggle snort. Anyways, I hope you liked it. Please review.
