Holiday Mix-up

By yuzusakura15

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

Summary: Mikan's got all the best presents wrap up for all her best friends. And this year she was pretty much sure they would love it! Until…everything goes IMPOSSIBLY WRONG!

Chapter one: The great mix-up

December 23rd

Shopping Shopping Shopping was all on Mikan's head as she pushed her way through the Central Town bus! It was December 23rd it was snowing and it was quite peaceful…that is except for the little tangerine!

"Finally!" she heaved. "Here at Central Town" she was waiting in the bus stop for practically 4 hours already! Tons of people were lining up just to get a lift. Central Town was indeed jammed pack!

It was already December 23 and she hasn't even bought a single present for any of her friends. Not to mention decide what to give them. And their Christmas Party would be tomorrow!

"Argh!" Mikan said as she pushed through the huge line of people passing through Central Town. Yes, indeed there are still a lot of people going on LAST MINUTE SHOPPINGS these days. Just like her, perhaps?

She stared at the huge façade of the famous Central Town mall. It indeed had the Christmas spirit decorated all around it. With glittering Christmas lights that twinkles with the pure glistening snow! To top it all up, there was a giant Christmas tree beside it. The biggest one in Gakuen Alice I should say. She stopped to appreciate the view. Christmas is definitely one of the most cheerful holidays. But…Mikan returned to her panicky state when she remembered her true purpose of coming there: BUYING PRESENTS!!!

As expected, the mall wasn't much different from the crowded streets of Central Town. It was the same with people rushing here and there. Mikan heaved out another sigh. If only I've gotten my allowance earlier! She thought. What a drag!

Mikan approached a sails clerk as something immediately caught her eye. It was a pair of ruby red earrings that glistened like blazing fire. She smiled. She knew in which those earrings would fit perfectly. The notorious Natsume Hyuuga of course!

"How much are these?"

"50 rabbits. Miss?" the sales clerk replied.

"Waah! Expensive!"

"Okay then, how about I give you a special discount price?"

"Really? Arigatou!"

"You can take that for only 30 rabbits!"

"hmmm…it's still expensive! But it would be such a waste if I didn't buy it! Besides I'm sure Natsume would love it!" Mikan pouted. "Okay then I'll take it!"

"Okay, Natsume Hyuuga checked!"

Mikan went into a pet store to buy a bunny for Ruka, a potion book for Nonoko, cat dog mufflers for Permy, and lipstick and make-up set for Anna.

"Okay! I just have to find the right thing for Hotaru! Hmmm" Mikan thought. When suddenly it struck her, a camcorder case and film! Hotaru would be thrilled by these!

She giggled at the thought. "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! Now for the wrapping!" Mikan said as she headed out to the dorms.

She stared at her list.

Hotaru-camcorder case and film

Ruka Nogi-bunny

Natsume Hyuuga- ruby earrings

Sumire Shouda- cat dog mufflers

Nonoko-potion spells and books

Anna- Make-up & lipstick

"I'm sure they would love them!"

Soon enough, Mikan was done with the wrapping. It was already midnight but it was all worth it. She had bought presents that each of them would surely adore! She sheepishly put the labels on the gifts she had just finished wrapping. With that, she drooped off to sleep in her own Christmas wonderland.

December 24th Exchange gift day

You'd better watch out, you'd better not cry
You'd better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town

Mikan giggled at playing Christmas background song. She loved Christmas with all the gifts and presents and not to mention Santa Claus!!!

He's making a list, he's checkin' it twice
He's gonna find out who's naughty or nice
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town

Mikan arrived just on time on time for the exchange gifts session.

"MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!" a hyper Mikan greeted.

He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows if you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
(so you'd) better be good for goodness sake
Better be good for goodness sake

"Merry Christmas to you too!" Yuu Tobita greeted.

"Ahem!" Narumi cleared his throat as he stepped up on the stage platform to deliver his speech.

"Merry Christmas everybody!" he greeted cheerful as ever. Today, his clothes were no different. He was wearing a Santa costume with a cowboy hat! Since when did Santa wear a cowboy hat?! But, seeing that it was Narumi, one word best describes it all, Typical.

"Sorry, I seem to have misplaced my Santa hat so I wore this instead!" Narumi said as he danced and twirled around stage. "See? Don't I look good in it? They make a perfect match!"

"Narumi-sensei never changes!" Anna smiled as she tried to suppress her laughter. "Always the wackiest taste on clothes!"

"He's always there when it comes to fashion!" Nonoko agreed. "Though getting advice form him could mean real trouble. Who knows what he'll turn you into?"

Mikan giggled at the thought.

He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows if you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
(so you'd) better be good for goodness sake
Better be good for goodness sake

"Ahem!" Jinno growled. If looks could kill, Jinno's glare would at least be enough to send Narumi paralyze for his entire life.

Narumi sweat dropped.

You'd better watch out, you'd better not cry
You'd better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town

"Um…right! I was getting to that!" he said. "Okay, as you all know, we are having our annual exchange gift!"

"And you know the rules! All the gifts that you receive will be brought later at the masquerade Christmas Ball" he added. "how exciting!"

"Yeah!" they cheered.

Narumi began twirling around again.

Jinno sighed. How pathetic could his co-teacher get. What can he say? He was hopeless.

Misaki-sensei patted him in the back. "Here" he said. "It's Christmas after all!"

He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows if you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
(so you'd) better be good for goodness sake
Better be good for goodness sake

"Here's your gift Hotaru!" Mikan squealed as she attempted to hug her best friend. But yet another attempt failed.

BAKA BAKA BAKA

"Aaaawww…come on Hotaru!" Anna said. "Give her a chance! It's Christmas after all!"

And for once the unexpected happened. "Fine!" she said.

Mikan smiled this was practically the first time Hotaru ever accepted my hug.

"You're drooling!" she said. "That's enough! Get off me!"

"By the way, here's your gift!" she added.

Mikan carefully handed out the gifts in her knapsack. "Here's one for you!"

"And you!"

"And you!"

"Thanks Mikan!" they also handed out their gifts for Mikan.

"Now for Natsume!" she said as she found him sitting just by the corner talking to Ruka!"

"Here!"

"hn!" Natsume said. "As if I would like that!"

"I'm pretty sure you will!" she giggled. After all, she spent a third of her allowance for that.

You'd better watch out, you'd better not cry
You'd better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town

After a few hours of chatting, gift giving and eating the Christmas exchange gift was over. They were all preparing to leave when…

" Guys! Don't forget to bring all the gifts you receive later at the Christmas ball!" Narumi said. "Remember, you must not only bring them but use them!"

Mikan giggled. This was going to be the best Christmas ever!

Or yet she thought…

Mikan scurried back to her room to open all the presents she received.

And these were the things she received.

Hotaru- a photo album containing picture of Mikan crying inside it was also a letter.

"See how ugly you look when you cry? Now keep smiling"

Anna- silver charm braclet

Nonoko- a necklace that matches Anna's. Typical. They are twins after all.

Ruka- a puppy stuff toy (Kawaii)

Sumire- a keychain

Natsume- a tangerine shaped pendant (Sweet...)

"Hmm…I wonder if they like my presents!" Mikan thought.

Meanwhile...

With Hotaru

"A cat-dog muffler?!" Hotaru said emotionless as ever. "Now, how am I suppose to use this later at the ball?!" (Check the upper part to see they're suppose to be presents)

With Ruka

"BARBIE DOLL?!" Ruka stared at it befuddled. "Now how am I suppose to go to the ball carrying this?!"

With Sumire

"A camcorder case and some film?!" Sumire stared at it in disgust. "What on earth am I gonna do with this?!"

With Nonoko

"A pet bunny?!" Nonoko stared at it speechless as it went on munching some of her leftover potions. "Am I suppose to bring this to the ball!?"

With Anna

"Potion books?!" Anna growled. I hate reading books especially thick ones. "How am I suppose to bring it later?!"

And lastly,

With Natsume

Lipstick and make-up kit?! Natsume felt too much in disgust to even speak. If anyone expects him to wear make-up later they are so wrong!

Suddenly there was an announcement in the speaker. "All students must go to the ball using the gifts they received. If they don't there would be a huge penalty!!! That is a must!!!"

Natsume growled. How was he to use the make-up kit without applying in on himself?

Ruka sighed. How was he going to ball if he practically has to use the Barbie doll he just received?! Hug it? Hold it? Now he would totally embarrass himself!

"This is going to be a long night!" they all thought. "A very long night!"

(Now, you guys guess to which those presents really belong!)
