Hello sunshines! How are you?This is my first story that I decided to write! Hhmm …have you noticed how you smile on your own while you read something funny? Or cry when you read something sad? How the time passes so fast without noticing and how you can actually "live" while reading a story? I want to make people smile when they read my stories, to share my stories with you. I know I am still not good with my vocabulary and grammar, and sometimes I cannot phrase correctly what is on my mind, but still I want to share my imagination and travel with you through my stories. So please bear with me and help me too!

Please send me your message with your comments, your suggestion and don't hesitate to say hello! I would love to talk with you! Also, I need to say that unfortunately I don't own any of Gakuen Alice's characters, name or G.A. itself ( T_T )/

Chapter 1

Is it a Dream?

I stand alone in a forest. I try to look around but it's very dark to see clearly in a long distance. The only thing I can see are the trees, the mud and the dirt on my feet. The trees seem like big bodies of empty cells just standing there, with not a petal, not a leaf or any sigh of life but showing instead the presence of death, waiting for their time that they will wither. It seems that there is nothing living here; there is a cold, deathly silence, with only the sound of the wind interrupting it. I hug myself in order to stop trembling, but the wind gets stronger; an angry wind with heavy rain starts and soon, it becomes a storm...I'm soaking wet, I walk a little further and stay under a tree in order to protect myself a little from the rainimpossible, since there are no leaves on it, the rain cannot be blockedI look around once again.

"Howwhy am I here? I can't remember anything." I think.

I try to calm my heart which beats so fast, but suddenly, there is a thunder that broke into the dark sky.

"Kyaaaa!" I scream.

I close my eyes and cover my ears with my hands.

"Really,how did end up here? I can't stay any longer, I need to get away from this place! I want to go home!"

I start running, but still, I can't see any presence of life, my breath soon starts to run out, I can't feel my feet anymore. I miss my step and fall down, my hands and knees get hurt and I can't get up. I close my eyes and rest my head on the ground, I don't care any more of the mess that I am and start sobbing.

"No! Don't tell me this is happening again after all these years"

"Someone, help me!" I yell and in my head, my mother's face appears

"Mom," I whisper.

I can't lift my head, my body feels so heavy

"Is this the end?" I wonder.

"No! It can't be!" I curl my hands into fists.

"I am too young to die! I haven't done anything I want to do in my life yet! I haven't even confess to the one I like! I refuse!" I scream in my mind.

I open my eyes and look at the mud that now is all over my body and face. I groan, and make myself stand up, I can feel a sharp pain in my hands and knees, I am sure they're bleeding, but it's not time to worry about that now.

"I need to be strong and find a place to hide!"

I run again. I run and run, time has passed and my breath once again comes short, and the pain in my stomach and lungs is like a thousand needles, hitting me. I slow down and I see a tree with a big stem, I sit down on it. A thunder comes and the lighting flashes into the sky and it makes me scream again."Mommy!"

I raise my hand to touch the trunk of the tree and hug it in a case of protection, my view starts to blur from my tears...

"I must not give updon't be afraid." I say to myself.

I must be strong but my tears betray mesome minutes might have passed, maybe an hour, I'm not sure how long I'm sitting here, but thank god the storm have now settled down. Now there is only silence, coldness and the only light is the full moon to guide me.

I wipe my eyes while I stand up and check myself; my clothes are covered in mud, I raise my palms and look at I expected, they are scratched and are bleeding from my fall, while my hair sticks to my body, making it more cold.

"I need to run in order to keep my body warm." I think, but I have no more strength, I am exhaustedI try to walk, my final attempt, but there is nothing, no one is thereI can't feel my body, I lean my knees to the ground. I can't move anymore.

"It's the end," I think and some more tears escape from my eyes. I move my hand in order to then I try to wipe them when in the corner of my eye I catch something gold.

"A light?" A sudden thought comes into my mind and I can feel my heart beating faster with hope. I turn my head to the right and try to see more clearly, it's so far away.

Maybe it's a trick on my mind?

I look again and focus my sight there and then I see something glowing! It's far away, but that must be definitely light!

There must be someone out there!

I run into the woods, I can see that the light is getting stronger! It's so close, I need a few more shortcuts and I will be able to clearly see it!

I am a little closer now, but I can see it from afar, my eyes are fixed on the light, I am able to clearly see it, however, the closer I am, I realize that the light seems weird; it's big, bright and it makes me cover my eyes a little with my hand.

Unexpectedly, I see a hand coming out from it, followed by a person's figure, however, this person is so bright I can't clearly see who it is.

"That handIs he extending his hand...for me?" I wonder.

I take some steps to that person slowly, but before I make any big distance, I hear a loud, a terrible sound behind me, like a monster growling at me. I turn around to look and what I see, is something that you see only in bad fairy tales or horror movies. A big fire ball in the size of a jeep is flowing up high in the air. It's very far away from me, is it a mile? But I can see it clearly as it flows, turns moving as it changes its shape and growls.

"W-what the hell is happening?" I widen my eyes in fear when I realize, what the shape, what is the form that now this fireball now has; it's a dragons head. I can see clearly, its big eyes, its two big horns up on its head and the teeth that are sticking out from that dragon's mouth.

"This can't be good," I whisper and try to take one step backwards but as if it heard me moving, the dragon turns his head at me and looks. To my fear, it growls and starts to go lower towards me so fast that it might catch me soon. I am shaking so much from the fear that I lose my step and fall down, but I immediately get up on my feet, turn and start running towards that person and the light.

I can hear the dragon following every step I make but I don't look back, if I do, and get more scared, it's the end. I run with all my might and start making shortcuts, turning left, turning right in order to make it slow down. It growls again, I can feel that my plan worked. I dared to look behind me and I see that the fire dragon got closer to the trees.

"It's losing me?" I turn my head forward and tried to see that figure, that person. Thank god he is still here waiting for me. I'm getting closer to that person, its like I have put wings on my feet, I turn and make shortcuts, trying to make the distance as shorter and as faster as I can. I can feel the thorns of the brushes and the branches of some low trees cutting my skin on my body but I don't run any slower. I look behind me again, the fire dragon is now inside the forest making everything get burn, but the distance between the monster and me is bigger, the trees slow it down, weakening it's fire and pace, I gain a lot of distance. I turn my head and see that there are only a few steps between me and that person, I look at him, running to him and the light. five steps away, four steps, three steps, two steps.I grab his hand and the light surrounds us, a warm light. I can't see anything, neither the person who holds my hand tight or the place which I am now.

My vision is gradually getting stronger until I can see clearly.

"The dragon!" I think in panic and I turn to see behind me, ready to run again, but it's nowhere to be found. It's gone. I look around me and I can't believe in what I see! The scene all around me, is completely different; now everything in the forest is is no fire, I look down on the ground but there is no mud. What I see is a beautiful carpet, like green grass. I look in the sky and it's a clear blue with that the sun shining. I see a bee that flies from flower to flower and over there, I see a rabbit that's hopping and goes behind that tree. I can listen now; birds sing and all this place is full of life. It's like the spirit of spring came and spared it's magic here. I turn once again to that boy and raise my head to look at him, to see who this person is, whose hand I'm holding onbut I can't. On his face, a mask covers his eyes and nose, I can't clearly see who he isdamnhe is actually quite tall, well-built body, raven hair and I can guess, judging from his body figure, he is close to my age too

"Oh my god!" My heart stops from the sudden recognition.

"I-Inori-senpai isit's you, right?" I ask him.

Instead of an answer, he gives me a beautiful smile that makes me melt, I understand his smile as an agreement and I nervously smile back, but then I realize the way I look right now and the smile froze on my lips.

"Oh lord, why? From all of the times that I've begged you to give me a chance to meet the most famous and handsome boy of my schoolWhy? Why NOW? Now! While I am in this horrible condition: wet, moody, bloody and omg! With no eyeliner? Why?" I scream inside my head.

"There is no time to panic, so DON'T PANIC! Think of something smart and cute to say!" I try to calm myself down.

"Waa ahaha, thank you so much for saving me, I would be a goner if it wasn't for you, senpai!" I try to make my smile bigger.

He laughs and it makes my heart beat like crazy, and (I) feel butterflies in my stomach.

"Inori-senpai, do you know where we are?" I ask him.

He shakes his head in the sign of denial and starts to walk into the forest. I can't do anything but to follow, because his hand is still holding mine—not that I'm complaining.

He doesn't say anything, just walks. However it is not an awkward silence, it's a rather peaceful silence. My emotions are so complicated right now, Ι feel embarrassed with my lookwell I could say a mess, but I also feel in heaven for having a one on one time with him! But still I feel like I should say something.

"Ano...Inori-senpai.F-For being like thatI'm sorry...I don't know how I ended up here, hehe! I assure you! Usually, I look much cuter and,well, cleaner!" I laugh, feeling my cheeks blush.

"I actually missed my step and fell down soahhhchuuu!" I cover my mouth with my hand.

"Waaa this is so embarrassing...I'm dying!" I think and look down.

He stops, lets go of my hand and turns to me, but I can't face him, I feel it his eyes looking at me. I can't have my eyes down for any longer so I slowly look up and meet his "masked covered" eyes, then he raised his hands and does a strange circle movement with his fingers before clapping once. Suddenly a light appears from nowhere and surrounds me.

"W-Wha-?!" Before I get to finish my sentence, he claps once again and the light vanishes! Then I heard a voice in my mind.

"Here, this will keep you warm and make you feel better."

"W-What the!" I try to say and blink several times trying to understand what's going on. My words dry in my mouth as I realize that I don't feel my clothes wet anymore. I look down and what I see makes me more shocked; my clothes are replaced by a simple, straight line but beautiful white dress that ends on my knees and black ballerina's shoes.

"Omg! I!" I start to say but then I also realize that my hair no longer stuck on my scalp. I raise my hand to touch them; they are dry and have curls at the end.

"You must be kidding me!" I yell and point my finger at him.

"I knew it! You were too cool, perfect and handsome to be a normal guy! I mean you are good at sports and... And in school you are in the perfect student's class!" I say in my "eureka" moment. He looks at me, kinda shocked from my discovery—well at least he looked like it—but before he answers, I continue.

"Furthermore, you do magic you and are also a mind-intruder! YouYou are a fairy, aren't you? I knew fairies existed!" I ask him,smiling, still being shocked at my discovery!

"Actually, is not me that did the magic, the forest has the ancient magic, and I borrowed it for a while." He answers inside my mind again.

"The forest...Ancient magic? I don't understand" I say to him.

"It's ok, it is safer for you to not understand." He looks at me and gives me a smilea sad smile. He takes my hand again, turns and starts walking.

"I didn't want him to be sad, maybe I pushed him too hard and asked things he was not supposed to say, as a fairy. But…still, I need to find out what's happening." So many questions in my head, I decide to talk to him and tell him what I think.

"Oh, come on! There is no reason to be shy, I know it's you already and it's not that I can go to school tomorrow and tell everyone "oh! By the way! Inori-senpai is a fairy!" and everyone is going to believe me, so don't worry, your secret is safe with me!" I said and started laughing.

He sighed.

"NeWhy you are hiding your face?"

He does not respond, just continued walking.

"Ohhthat's no fair, I want to learn more about you." I say and pout, looking in the other direction.

We don't speak at each other for a while, but this time it is awkward. Lots of thoughts are in my mind right now.

" …Mou, doushiyo?! What if we never find the way back home? "Are we going to stay in the forest forever?" I wonder as I glance towards him.

"Is he mad? Why doesn't he talk? Is it because I asked those questions? Baka! Baka Mikan! You were supposed to make him like you! Not hate you! Mou!I need to think of something and try to lighten the atmosphere...But still why does he not say anything to me? Does he not like me? Maybe he does not trust me" I feel the sadness that make my heart heavier second by second.

"It would be dangerous if you knew. So it's better like this, being in that world where it's safe for you."He enters my mind once again, breaking my thoughts.

"Does that mean he likes me, he wants to protect me?" I wonder.

"I don't understand but I will try to accept it" I answer in order to try and make things better again.

We walk for a while when he suddenly stops, making me bump into his back.

"Eek! That hurt!" I cry and rub my nose with my hand.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I should have warned you, are you ok?" He says and his voice sounds earnest.

"Senpai maybe is indeed worried about me?" I think and my heart fills with joy.

"Its ok, senpai, no worries! Mikan is strong!" I smile and raise my head to look at him.

He smiles, raises his hand and gently strokes my head. I am shocked from the sudden touching and starts blushing.

"Indeed, you are a strong and kind girl."He says then looks around, and removes his hand."Let's rest here."

"This place is really beautiful." I say and sat down on the soft grass.

He did the same.

Silence again, but we turned it back to the peaceful silence. I looked around, enjoying the view.

"Inori-senpai has his own reasons .I'm just happy that he is beside mewell in the end, it's not so bad if we are stuck here, we can get to know each other better, help each other and then fall in love!" I think and smile to myself.

"The sun is so warm," I say and turn my head at him.

He nods and sits more comfortably, I raise my eyes to sky.

"The flowers, the trees and the sky are all beautiful" I murmured the first lines of a song.

I close my eyes….

"I see trees of green, red roses too, I see them bloom for me and you," I heard him sing.

This is his first time I hear his voice in real and not in my head, I open my eyes.

"And I think to myself, what a wonderful world," I sing back to him, turning my head and looking at him only being surprised of what I see. He removed a part of his mask and now I can see his eyes! He stares at mehis eyes are crimson red? I break the eye contact.

Why? I wonder, aren't his eyes green? But there are so beautiful. Why haven't I noticed them earlier? I look at his eyes again.

"Sohe uses eye-colored contacts too? He shouldn't! His eyes are better like this. I should tell him that" These were my last thoughts until

"MIKAN GET UP NOW! WE ARE GONNA BE LATE!"

"I hear babies crying, I watch them grow

They'll learn much more than I'll never know

And I think to myself what a wonderful world

Yes I think to myself what a wonderful world."

Mother's loud, angry voice and my phone's alarm song wake me up from my dream.

"WAA!" I cry. "Life, why is life such a bitch? It's not faaaiiiiiirrr!"

-Good morning, Tokyo! ;p 11:13 am.

Hello sunshines,

Thank you for reading this! So this was the first chapter of "My dragon"!

Mikan was actuallydreaming! Lolpoor girl…or…maybe not?

I hope you liked it! What do you think Mikan's fate is? Is that guy really Inory-senpai? The knight with the white armor coming into rescue? (Or maybe I should say fairy?) What will happen to Mikan from now on? Will she be able to actually talk to him, in "real" this time and make her love come true?

Please send me a message and don't forget to review and tell me your opinion!

Love,

Hana-Marie

Preview of the next chapter:

I don't want this kind of life. I don't. I honestly don't. I don't want to have a bodyguard, protecting me at any given moment. I don't want to cause trouble in school and what I hate is fake people kissing up to me, begging to become my friends, only to enjoy my company just because of what my name is or my looks, or my money. I've had enough of that.

"You don't mean that he will stay with us, right?" I asked and immediately laughter with the is no way.

"…Mikan…" She started and...oh no….She gave me the "puppy dog eyes," which confirmed my fear.

"Wa! What should I do, Hotaru? This woman is going to ruin my life!"

"Hotaru!*sob* Are you listening?" I asked but had no response.

"Baka, how can I get what you're saying when most of the time you are crying?I heard her say from the speaker.

Hotaru said from the phone. "So his name is Natsume, aunty?""Your life and secret will be fine, idiot. Now stop being paranoid and let me eat my lunch. Bye."

"Mother." I said with a trembling voice. "Why is there a dozen reporters out there?
