"Youichi!"

The little boy turned around to see an excited brunette running towards him, holding a brown packet of something in her arms.

"Look at this!" Mikan shook out the packet, and a shower of books fell out. One particular book boinked him on the head. He glared at the girl.

Mikan not noticing anything said, "Picture books! Mikan nee-chan will read for you!" And she plopped the very irritated boy onto her lap.

Leaning back against the sakura tree, she gazed at the sea of picture books she bought. "Hmm...Which one shall we read, You-chan?"

"Let me go, you old ugly hag," said the boy. Obviously, Natsume had taught him. Mikan thought this too.

She huffed. "You-chan! That's not a nice thing to say! Exactly what has Natsume been teaching you?"

The boy merely looked away. She huffed. "Geesh, You-chan. Fine, I'll choose."

She picked up the nearest book besides her. The cover illustration was of a beautiful woman dressed in a ball gown fit for a princess. Behind her was a pumpkin, mice, and a glass slipper. "YES! Cinderella! My favourite!" She flicked though the pages. Her eyes became big and sparkly.

"The story's so BEAUTIFUL! If I was Cinderella, and a shining prince in armour came along to pick me up..." She flailed her arms. "Kyaa!"

Youichi made a snort that sounded like 'How noisy.'

"So let's begin!" She opened the book to the first page.

"Once upon a time, there was girl named Ella. She was nicknamed Cinderella, however, because she was covered in ashes. She was bullied by her mean older sisters and her stepmother. One day, there was a ball held in honour of the Prince's birthday. Rumour said that he was looking for a bride. Cinderella wasn't allowed to attend. She watched her sisters dress in their best gowns..."

"And they married happily ever after. The end!" Mikan closed the book and clasped her hands together. "How dreamy! So how was it You-chan?"

She looked down at him expectantly, only to discover that the boy had fallen asleep.

'Aww, he looks so cute when he's asleep.' She prodded his face gently and smiled.

"Yo Polka-dots! What are you doing?" Natsume was standing behind her, hands in his pockets.

"PERVERT! I'm not answering!" she replied, irritated. 'Natsume-kun's such a pervert! How many times do I have to tell him that my name is MIKAN not POLKA-DOTS!'

She did not realize that she had fully recognized her nickname by replying to him.

"Youichi!" Ruka came running in with Hotaru. "Ah Sakura-san! Have you seen Youichi?"

"Ruka-pyon! Hotaru-chan! You-chan is sleeping," she said, pointing at the sleeping figure on her lap.

"Baka. Everyone's worried; what were you doing?" said Hotaru.

"Gomen-ne Hotaru-chan, I was reading to You-chan."

Natsume surveyed the books scattered on the ground. "I didn't know an idiot like you could read," he said. "And fairy tales where a prince always appears. Tsk."

Mikan's veins popped. "Wha-"

"Let's go Ruka." Natsume stooped to pick up Youichi. His face was very near. For a split second, Mikan held gaze with his crimson eyes.

He quickly got up and left, leaving Mikan very red-faced.

"Eh? Ah, bye Sakura-san, Imai-san." Ruka ran after the retreating figue.

Mikan quickly snapped out of her reverie. "Geesh! Natsume has no manners at all!" she said angrily.

"Hurry up or I'll leave," said Hotaru calmy, already walking in the direction of the dorms.

"Ehh? Hotaru-chan! Wait for me!" she quickly gathered the books and ran after her best friend.
