My first fan fic

My first fan fic!! Be nice to me plz….I'm sure I'll write some unnecessary rubbish..

Here, two students from the American branch of Gakuen

Alice arrive at the Japanese branch for an exchange program. Its just some imagination crap…I don't think its too good but I'm just writing this because this idea's been bugging me since quite some time. BTW, everyone here is 13. Read on, and don't mind my mistakes!! I've only read GA till ch-58 (no eng scans beyond that are to be found!!) so, there are bound to be some (gross – hopefully not!) errors.

DISCLAIMER – Gakuen Alice is the property of Higuchi Tachibana-san. I can only wish to own it.

Chapter 1

Ellie

The last thing I saw before I left for Japan from America was my best friend, Sam, waving me goodbye and telling me to have fun and not make a fool of myself. Before I could reply, everything around me went black. The next moment, I was standing outside this huge iron gate.

The guards still insisted on asking for id. I mean, when three people suddenly appear out of thin air in front of another Gakuen Alice, is it necessary to ask them for id? Even if one of them has clearly displayed his alice? Jordan, the teacher with the teleportation alice who brought us here, was unfazed and with a cheery smile informed me that they were only being careful. I read his not-so-cheery mind and he was thinking the exact same thing as I was.

After we had gained access, Nathan, my partner in this whole exchange student thing, was looking surly. But then again, he had not given me much proof that this wasn't his natural facial expression. He almost always looked like that. Even when I cracked jokes. Like I did now. As usual, he sprayed me with water which came out of his finger. His alice is a water/ice alice. I really don't know its specific function, but it pretty much allows him to freeze things and produce lots of water. And that is bad because he uses it on me mostly.

I let out a war cry and was about to whip out my trusty water cannon when I realized that I had shrank (okay…I don't know if its correct grammar) all my belongings with my shrink ray to make them easy to carry. At this point Nathan, who was looking at me interestedly, trying to guess what I was going to do next when Jordan told me to stop taking out weird noises. Nathan chuckled (evilly, of course) and shot more water at me.

After a few minutes of walking, the three of us are admitted into an office. A very effeminate teacher comes and greets Jordan.

"Jordan! How nice to see you!", he says in perfect Japanese.

"I feel the same Narumi." says our teacher in broken Japanese.

"Is he a woman?? Wait, is it an it?" I read Nathan's mind.

"I know." I reply.

Nathan eyes me weirdly.

"What?" I say defensively.

"Stop reading my mind!", he says.

"It's not my fault…you don't speak!! I wanted to know what was going on in your mind!!"

"Learn to respect people's privacy.", he says turning away. In his head he adds, "What an idiot!"

"I heard that…"

"So, what's your name?" Narumi turns his attention to me.

"It's Allison. But I prefer Ellie." I reply in Japanese.

"Ah..your Japanese is quite good." he remarks.

It better be. I didn't read those countless manga and watch those countless anime for nothing.

"Thanks." I say rewarding him with my cheesiest smile.

"And what your name?" he asks Nathan with unprecedented enthusiasm.

"Nathan." comes a gruff no-nonsense reply.

"Hmm…whom does he remind me of?" thinks Narumi. I really should quit the whole mind reading thing.

"Well, I'll lead these two to class." he says.

"Nathan, Ellie, behave yourselves and don't give people much trouble. See you in two months!" are Jordan's parting words.

His parting thought is a different thing – "Yes!! I'm rid of them!! Two whole months!!"

Now that explains why we were chosen to represent the Academy.

It was a bit of an anti-climax when two months ago Nathan and I, the most annoying kids of our class (with me, reading out people's thoughts without their permission and attacking random people with my inventions and Nathan, glaring at random people, often for no reason, freezing/soaking people who annoyed him, causing major stampedes due to natural good looks and messing with me. The latter usually caused major wars.) were chosen to go on an exchange trip to Japan. I guess Jordan thought that we will be angry and will demand a change or some rubbish like that. He was SO wrong. We were practically falling over ourselves (okay I was. I mean manga / anime/sushi!! Nathan wasn't – it violated his code of absolute seriousness. But I read his mind…he was plenty excited. ) to go.

The only thing I wasn't very excited about was going with the one person I absolutely detested. I wanted Sam to come instead, but she promptly refused. So did Jordan when I sneakily went to his office in order to convince him.

Nathan and I have been fighting since the first day I entered the academy. That was when I was five and I entered the academy with my brother, Alex, who was three. It was what they call hate at first sight. We still fight like crazy but somehow…

No, I don't want to get into that…its too scary. And strange. Not to mention creepy on so many levels.

"Bye sir!!" I say with much enthusiasm. He's going to get it once I return.

"This way," says Narumi and motions us to follow him. A sick feeling in my stomach creeps up again. I think it's my nerves. We follow him to the class anyway. He opens the door of his class and we follow him in me, shutting the door behind me.

"Good morning, class!" Narumi greets the kids which much enthusiasm.

"Good morning!" reply the kids which almost the same level of enthusiasm. Rare. Never seen something like this back home.

"Class, may I introduce you to our exchange students. They've come all the way from America and they'll be spending two months with us. Please introduce yourselves to the class" he says, pushing me forward.

I consider saying something like, "Hello Tokyo!!" all rock star style. Putting that aside, I settle for something more conformist.

"Hi, I'm Allison Walker; you can call me Ellie, though. I have the mind reading alice and the alice of invention. My star ranking is three. Nice to meet you all." I consider finishing with a bow but I put that aside.

"What a show-off!" thinks Nathan.

Instead of pummeling him like I usually do, I smile at him and beckon him forward to introduce himself. I was pretty curious as to what he was going to say. Just for the record, when his turn came, almost all the girls sat up straighter and looked at him with doe eyes. I know, I'm not as good looking (not to mention grouchy) as him but I hate being told that publicly. The entire class seemed to be thinking the same thing and some of them also wondered, "Whom does he remind me of?"

"I'm Nathan Hampton." he says.

"Well, both of you can take seats there," says Narumi pointing towards to empty seats in the second last row.

"Get along well class!" he says leaving.

Just as he leaves, nearly the entire class comes to greet us (I think I've made them nice. Let's see what I can do about this). Hmm. Maybe it's not so bad. A green haired girl looks at Nathan with a look which I can only describe as lovelorn then turns to whisper to her friend. An auburn haired girl catches me looking there and says, "That happens all the time." I smile and nod as if I know what she is talking about.

"I'm Sakura Mikan." she says smiling at me.

I return her open and honest smile and reply, "I'm Ellie. As you heard just now."

"You know, you have the same alice as Hotaru." she motions towards her dark haired friend.

My eyes are wide open in surprise.

"Hotaru, as in Imai Hotaru??" I ask her.

She nods with motherly pride and I turn my attention towards Hotaru who is working on something.

"You know, Hotaru-chan, can I call you that?" she nods in approval and I continue, "I've heard so much about you from my friend, Mr. Kleats."

Mikan looks confused.

"He's my sales manager. My brother and I sell our inventions, we have the same alices, " I add, "to him. And he tells us so much about you and your inventions are incredible. They sell like hot cakes in America."

Hotaru is pleased with my information. But when Mikan turns to hug Hotaru (at the same time exclaiming, "Hotaru!! You're famous!!"), she whips out this cannon shaped thing, aims it at Mikan and fires. A boxing glove shaped thing flies out of it and hits Mikan on the head at the same time emitting the sound of "BAKA!!"

"Whoa!! What's that??" I ask fascinated.

Hotaru puts on a pig shaped hat and with a ruler in her hand says, "Invention No. 004 (just guessing) – The Baka Cannon. Designed to hit idiots specifically. It's variant is the more portable Baka Gun."

Okaaaayyy. What's that about?

At this point, I turn my attention towards Nathan who is not doing too well. He's surrounded by fan girls. As usual. There's the sound of skin slapping against wood right behind me. I turn around only to find a boy who looks exactly like Nathan staring at Nathan. Seriously. They can pass off as twins!!

The same dark hair, in bangs, the same face structure, and nearly the same physique!! Except the eye colour. This clone of Nathan had crimson irises while Nathan has green. A really pretty colour, really.

And when looked closely, I was shocked to notice the same cold eyes. You know, hiding all the pain and suffering kind of thing.

Apparently, I am not the only one who has noticed this bizarre phenomenon. The class is silent. All of them think the same thing, "Oh…so that's who he looks like!!"

"Listen kid, what's your alice?" he says.

He even speaks like him!!

"Who are you calling a kid, shorty? And why must I tell you my alice?"

"I'm calling you a kid. And you're no taller than I am."

"Natsume!!" says Mikan angrily.

Oh…so this guy here was Natsume.

"Do you really need to fight every where you go?" I ask Nathan, "Just nicely tell him what your alice is."

Mikan is appealing to Natsume over my head.

"Why do you have to be rude to people? Being nice doesn't hurt, you know."

"Okay, so I'll nicely force it out of him!" says Natsume, producing a ball of fire.

Nathan, pumped up by this (I've never seen him more enthusiastic) says calmly, "You don't need to do that. I'll nicely show it to you!!"

He produces a ball of water roughly the same size (if not larger) as Natsume's ball of fire.

This wasn't going to be pretty.
