Nie-chan: Hiya! This is my first fanfic at so gomen if there are any mistakes. I absoloutley LOVE Gakuen Alice! Both the anime and the comic are so cute and not to mention funny! For a start at a fanfic I've decided to take the main plot from the real thing and modify it to how I think the story should've gone. So… on with the story ne?

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Gakuen Alice characters (sigh… I wish I could though, and I really wish they were REAL!). The main plot itself doesn't belong to me either (how's that for original?). They all are the rightful property of Higuchi Tachibana.

Summary: This is basically a revision of the Last dance episode, but it is taken place five years from the real thing, so Mikan and the others are 15. Tsubasa-senpai and Misaki-senpai are 19.

Chapter 1- Routinely Deafness Matters

It has been approximately five years since the now popular Mikan Sakura had entered Gakuen Alice. The brunette had pretty much blossomed into a beautiful teen at 15, with curves just in the right places; causing her to now have her very own fan club. Mikan was now a three-star student due to the marvelous changes she has brought to the school ever since she entered and because she can now expertly use her Nullifying Alice.

But then again, some things never change….

BAM! CRASH! BOOM!

"Wah! I'm gonna be late!!! And I promised Tsubasa-senpai I'd be there early to help out too!!"

Mikan dashed out as fast as she could out of her dormitory and towards the academy's grounds as soon as she saw the time on her clock upon waking up from her nap. She had promised her Senpai's to help clean up their Alice Festival attraction in time for the Closing Ceremony that evening.

"Dear Jii-chan, this is my fifth Alice Festival since I enrolled in Gakuen Alice. I've especially enjoyed this year's festival because we got so many customers at the Tokuryoku-kei (Special Ability) stand.

This year, Tsubasa-senpai was the one to suggest that we hold an Alice Battle Tournament. We're supposed to battle with the customers using our Alices. If they can defeat us they can go on to the next level until they make it to the finish or lose.

Do you know Jii-chan? I'm on the highest level because no one can get past my Alice. If they can defeat me, they can get a prize!..."

At this thought Mikan's forehead wrinkled and she unknowingly pouted. This Alice Festival, no one got past her, not even her "Tou-san" Narumi-sensei…

Though this was not the reason for her sudden change in expression.

ONE person though, did get past her level in the game, just like he did just about every time he faced her.

Deep in thought (while running, mind you), Mikan didn't notice that she was about to collide into the object of her thoughts.

BAM

Mikan's eyes widened at the person she bumped into.

"Na-Natsume!"

Speak of the Devil…

The crimson-eyed firecaster was glaring down at her with a tinge of amusement evident in his eyes. Yes, it was the one and only Natsume Hyuuga that got past her AGAIN during the Tokuryoku-kei festival attraction and got the prize.

Over the years Mikan and Natsume have gone through a lot, and you could say they have finally accepted each others presence. Under all of that bickering, they share a strong bond with each other, though both are too stubborn to admit it.

"Oi Polka-dotted panties, watch where you're going!"

"Natsume you PERVERT!! For your information I'm not wearing Polka-dots today!" Mikan shouted, or rather screeched, at Natsume. He's never gotten tired of teasing her according to her undergarment, even though their already 15.

Natsume smirked, "Really, then what is it today?" He casually lifted Mikan's mustard-colored pleated skirt and looked under it as if it was the most normal thing to do.

Mikan's face paled and she stood frozen in sock, not believing what Natsume just did. After her brain finally processed the fact that Natsume had lifted up her skirt, her hands flew up to her mouth, and her pupils considerably dilated.

"Oh, so it is strawberry-prints today… Aren't you a little too old to be wearing prints… Ichigo-kara?"

At the sound of her long time nickname Mikan finally couldn't contain her rage anymore. With that, her face turned beet red,

"NATSUME NO HENTAI!!!"

----------------------------------------

Meanwhile, all around the academy's campus, the people whom heard and recognized the deafening screech of the Nullifier sweat dropped ('SWT') and sighed for they were used to this kind of behavior from the outrageously childish teen.

Hotaru:

She looked up from one of her inventions to the direction of the sound, "Baka…" she muttered under her breath, and suddenly,

"I feel like blackmailing Nogi." With that she grabbed her bag of photos, Alice-proof camera, and duck scooter and flew off in search of her intended target.

Yuu, Anna, Nonoko, Koko:

"Oh dear, I wonder what Natsume did to Mikan-chan this time?"

"Well Iinchou, at least Hotaru-chan isn't around, or else she would've surely gotten hit with her Baka Gun…"

"All we can do is pray for them, I guess…" Anna nodded along with her blue-haired best friend.

"In the mean time I'll make a potion to ease our hearing pains!"

Koko guffawed, "Heh, I pity Natsume right now, I can hear both of their thoughts loud and clear, and from what I'm hearing, I think he's gonna need some of Nonoko's potions right now."

The four laughed and got back to whatever they were doing at that time, while Nonoko got right to brewing the potion with some help from Anna.

Ruka:

Ruka sighed at the direction of the scream while tending to his animal friends that were currently scurrying to him in shock from the pitch of Mikan's scream.

'Kami-Sama Natsume, what did you do to Sakura-san this time?' he thought, shaking his head disdainfully.

'Why can't he just tell her he likes her for goodness sakes?' he thought to himself, and heaved out another sigh.

Kami-Sama knows how stubborn his best friend could be at times; but with his last statement, Ruka's current love dilemma also came to mind.

'Heck, why can't I tell Imai I love her!?'

He had long given up Mikan to Natsume because he knew both of them needed the other, but how he had come to fall for his blackmailer was out of his (and perhaps any other human's) thinking range.

Ruka's animal friends, sensing their master's growing stress nuzzled him as if asking what was wrong.

Ruka, still deep in thought croaked out a "Why?" earning confused looks (if they could actually do that) from his furry friends.

"Why? Why huh, why is it so hard to just say 3 stupid words!?" With each sentence, growing louder, Ruka's brain was nearing his peak, and he was about to lose it on himself when,

CLICK! CLICK! CLICK!

"Hmm, it isn't very often Nogi gets upset for no reason at all. To top it all off, his expression could earn me millions of rabbits." A monotone voice said while clicking away with her 'oh so trusty' camera, with rabbit signs in her eyes.

"IMAI, GIVE THOSE BACK!"

----------------------------------------

Going back to Natsume and Mikan's situation, Natsume was currently smirking at the latter's face which was flushed from releasing energy into that one scream.

Though his usual cool and collected composure stayed on the outside, Natsume was just about ready to go deaf after hearing the brunette's painful scream.

'Baka Polka-Dots,' He hissed in his head, suppressing a groan and struggling to refrain from shouting in exasperation about his thoroughly damaged eardrums.

'I'm surprised that her loudmouth idiotic voice itself isn't an Alice.'

"Urusai Ichigo-Kara, you're making my ears bleed." He gave her his ever so famous death glare which earned a disgusted grumble from Mikan.

Mikan started rambling in a very loud tone of voice which was a blur in Natsume's ears, since he was in his own train of thoughts; though he did managed to lip-read some of the words and put them together. She was busy complaining, more to the sky than to him about why he was being such a perverted jerk.

"WHY DO YOU TORMENT ME NATSUME?!" Mikan screamed at him which was followed by a deafening ring in Natsume's ears.

'Kami-Sama, someday her voice could be the death of me.'

Deciding not to damage his poor eardrums any further, Natsume decided to interrupt her reverie, "Don't to have to go somewhere Little Girl? You're wasting my time you know."

Mikan's face instantly brightened up at what Natsume said which made her remember where she was going to in the first place, but the smile was quickly replaced with a frown hearing what nickname Natsume called her this time.

"Never mind, I have no time for the stupid pervert. I have to go and meet up with Tsubasa-senpai anyways"

She brushed past Natsume whom, unknowing to her had caught every bit of what she muttered.

'She's meeting with the shadow freak? What could she wanna do with that kage? Hn, I'll tail her then.'

Nie-chan: Well that wasn't so bad for a first time I guess… This chapter was only an intro anyways, showing how the characters have changed.

Review PLEASE!!
