A/N: This is my 3rd Fanfic! I am a fanatic of GA! This was based on a personal experience, well, some of it anyways, but that's how stories come to be right? Anyways, I hope you like it!

Mikan looked at the group in front of her and a familiar fear overtook her as she asked herself for the thousandth time: will I really be able to do this? Suddenly her best friend's face came in sight and she immediately felt better upon seeing her re-assuring smile. It was short but it was satisfying.

"We'll be taking a break for now." She said to the group of students looking weary and tired but also excited. The girls were, anyways. "Oh, thank god!" One of the boys said loudly as he got off the bus and stretched his legs.

"I still can't believe we actually get to meet them! After all those years of following them on Instagram and on TV, I just can't believe we get to see them in person!" Sumire squealed as Mikan recalled the past week that led to this dreadful situation.

It had all started because of some stupid girl giggling about Midsummer Break, the hottest topic among girls of all shapes and sizes right now and the fact that the two protagonists of the mystery drama were in town. This particular conversation had led to the summer break tour organized by Narumi Sensei who had run out of all exotic and original ideas. (Apparently, organizing a tour to meet the characters from a TV drama is quite original and exotic.) Perhaps it is, but Mikan Sakura didn't feel that way.

Maybe she might've enjoyed looking out the window and chatting about the hotel back there squeezed in between her besties. But no, she was sitting in the front seat closest to the driver, reading and re-reading her itinerary again and again since she was in-charge of this whole tour. The more Mikan thought about it, the more she got annoyed. She remembered it clearly, the panicked Narumi sensei from 4 days ago, literally begging Mikan to take over his tour.


"I know it's short notice, but you know how important this tour is. And how much everybody is looking forward to it, I can't tell them it's cancelled now. I'm begging you; I have to go to America, like today and I have nobody else to count on." He was being really persistent and made it so that she couldn't say no. Now she wished she had.

Mikan was the daughter of Yuka and Izumi Yukihira, the successful entrepreneurs of a travelling agency they had created themselves, and so, she was perfect for the job, Narumi decided, and set her up with the job. Little did he know that Mikan had never had any experience with organizing and leading tours unlike her well-known parents and this was her very first tour not that she was excited about it.

While the other girls were discussing about their favourite characters from the story Mikan was stuck calling the hotel and checking if their rooms were in order and the restaurant for lunch.

"Working hard?" Hotaru came up to her and offered her a drink. "Harder than ever. I've called the hotel for the 3rd time and the restaurant for the 2nd and they're like 'Everything is in order miss but we would really appreciate it if you would just trust us and stop calling, we have other guests to tend to.' I mean I get it but I'm just so nervous. I just want everything to go well." Mikan said sipping the hot chocolate slowly.

"You're doing fine. But you really need to stop worrying so much." Hotaru said as she sat down and patted the seat beside her, gesturing Mikan to sit down as well. "I wish I could." Mikan said sighing heavily, exhausted and worn out. "You just need to stop trying so hard. And get some sleep." Hotaru said as Mikan smiled weakly.

"Hey Mikan" A girl cried out, so much for sleep. "I'm allergic to peanuts." She said and handed the plate of chocolate cupcakes back to her. "Alright, I hope you're fine with coconut then." Mikan said and handed her a plate of coconut cookies with chocolate dip.


15 minutes later:

Mikan did a quick head count and checked if anything was left behind. Nope. Nothing lost, nothing found. And so, they were ready to go and reached the hotel about 10 minutes later. It was a short ride but the students were worn out of their lives, they looked like ripped leather shoes.

"Guys, listen up. The boys will be staying in the first floor, room 21 to 34, 3 boys in each room. And the girls will be staying in the second floor, room 35 to 49, 3 girls in one room. Here are the keys and you all know the groups you are divided in and if you need anything, I'll be in room no. 50. We'll be having lunch at the hotel restaurant Nomade at 1:30 and dinner at 8:30 and tomorrow, the real tour begins, so refresh yourselves for today. Group dismiss." Mikan said and handed each group leader their room key.

Making sure that every student was tucked away in their respective rooms, Mikan finally strides off to her own room, plopping on the bed the second she gets in. It was comfortable and bubbly. This was supposed to be Narumi sensei's room but Mikan had been granted the privilege to use it by Narumi, not knowing that sending her off to a room alone and away from everybody else only made her feel worse than ever.

"Oh right..." Mikan said to herself as she got up groggily and dialed the hotel counter again. "Hello, this is hotel Sea Breeze. How can we help you?" A woman said. "Yeah, um.., I was just wondering if the actors from Midsummer break made it safely to the hotel." Mikan spoke into the receiver. "Oh yes. They've just arrived actually. I'll connect you to their rooms." She said and Mikan waited for a few minutes before a voice spoke again.

"Hello?" It was quite a merry and mature voice. "Yes, Um, Mr. Nogi Ruka? I hope you didn't have any inconvenience in travelling. I welcome you to Japan. I'm really glad you could make it here." Mikan said with all the strength she could muster up lying on the bed, face down. "Thank you. I'm in the middle of something right now so, if you don't mind, why don't you talk to my friend, he'd be happy to answer you." He said and a different voice answered Mikan.

"Hello? Who is this?" He spoke calmly yet there was this impatience in his voice. "Yes, um.., this is Mikan Sakura speaking; I'm actually taking over the tour instead of Mr. Narumi since he had to go to America urgently. I hope the room is to your liking..." Mikan said sleepily. "Of course, it's fine. I look forward to meeting you." He said politely. "Me too..." Mikan said, her eyes barely open. "Wonderful. And I just had some questions- Miss Sakura? Hello?" The voice spoke on to receive no answer.


Still holding the receiver to her ear, Mikan was on the bed unconscious, fast asleep. The other end, confused, hung up the phone. "I guess the line cut off?" Natsume Hyuuga said bewildered. "That's a first." Ruka said from the bathroom. "Narumi had to go to America apparently and some other teacher's taking over." Natsume said keeping the phone back in its place.

"Should be fine, I think. So, our big debut is today at 9 right?" Ruka said coming out with a towel around his neck. "About that... I don't know. The line cut off before I could ask." Natsume said. Ruka just stared at him straight before saying: "Well, call her again and ask her!" He said. "You do it." Natsume said, plopped on the bed comfortably and drifted off to sleep. "Geez, seriously..." Ruka said and re-dialed the number on the call log to receive no answer. The ring went on and on but nobody picked up.

At last he gave up and retorted to watching television instead.

Back in Room no. 201:

The phone rang on and on but Mikan was so deep in sleep, she couldn't hear anything and finally woke up at 12:43 noon, and dressed up as quickly as she could to check things in the restaurant, forgetting all about the phone call. And by the time she remembered, it was already dinner time and everybody was busy getting ready.

The students weren't exactly informed about the actors' special appearance today. In fact, they were all under the impression that the actors hadn't even arrived in the hotel yet. So, things were gonna get hectic when they see their idols ahead of time and she had to deal with it flawlessly! So no time to worry about weird phone calls, nope! She had to be on her toes for the upcoming wave!


Will Mikan be able to tackle her students and her star guests without a hitch?! Find out in the next episode of GA: StarStruck!
